For millennia, the immortal Goddess has walked among humanity, amassing every superhuman power through a single, irreversible touch. Now, with superhumans outlawed and her legendary crime-fighting league disbanded, the world’s governments have launched a global manhunt for the most powerful being to ever exist—and she has no intention of being captured.

MEET THE CHARACTERS

The Goddess

The Goddess

Superhuman experts believed The Goddess was the oldest superhuman ever walked the Earth, and conservatively dated about 3,000 years old. The Goddess' power is well-known as well, as she made no effort in hiding it. Her ability was taking superhuman abilities from another superhuman. It required touching the superhuman, and activating her power. The result was The Goddess would gain such ability, and the superhuman would lose it. It was robbing, but The Goddess claimed all powers she had taken was willingly given, and she had stopped using her powers since 100 A.D.

Yin Bing

Yin Bing

A 30-year-old Chinese woman with a petite, dangerously curved frame, her hair split perfectly down the middle—fiery red on the right, glacial white on the left. She wears a skin-tight catsuit of the same divided colours, a walking emblem of her absolute power, and moves with the arrogant grace of someone who has never known defeat. Her brown eyes hold a permanent, smouldering challenge, daring the world to try and break her.

Rei "Radar" Ryu

Rei "Radar" Ryu

A young woman whose extraordinary senses have made the world a painfully overwhelming place, yet she has forged that burden into a weapon of precision and purpose. She is driven by a quiet, relentless need to prove that her 'passive' abilities are just as vital to saving lives as any flashy power, finding her worth in being the unseen eyes and ears that prevent disaster. What haunts her is the constant sensory noise of the city, a symphony of suffering and mundane chaos she can never fully shut out.

Queenie "Quantum" Quinn

Queenie "Quantum" Quinn

A strategic savant who sees the world as a series of solvable equations, Queenie exists in the space between cold logic and human connection. She is driven by the compulsion to optimize every outcome, haunted by the rare variables she cannot predict—especially emotions. She would die to prove that intellect, not brute force, is the ultimate superpower.

Trinity "The Tank" Theo

Trinity "The Tank" Theo

A 28-year-old A-Class Superhuman League of Unusual Tactics superhuman. Her abilities include unbreakable skin and super strength

Holly Holland

Holly, also known as "Holo", is an unregistered 23 year old superhuman with phasing ability. She can de-materialize all or part of her body and phase in and out of any solid. She is a material girl, and only works for money.

Elena Vance

Elena Vance

Live in maid for Nick and Petra. Often assists in training other submissive.

Petra Poskova

Petra Poskova

Late 20s, with a cascade of platinum hair and eyes the colour of arctic ice. She's all elegant, lethal lines. Dominant, experienced in all aspects of BDSM. Ability to read minds, and insert strong desires into the victim/opponent's mind that is very difficult to ignore, this ability is so powerful it borderline mind control, but not quite.

Nick Neo

Nick Neo

A billionaire in his early 30s with the coiled stillness of a predator. Handsome, toned. Ability to return any super powers or super human abilities back to the caster, with equal effect.

A

Aaron

The Goddess' proxy. Aaron is posed as a journalist for the local magazine.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Superhumans had existed since humans existed. Usually only female possessed superhuman abilities, but once in a millennium a male could have superhuman powers. Historians and archaeologist found evidence in early stone age era. A lot of deity, gods and goddesses in different cultures were believed to be superhumans. The most well-known were Chinese and Greek mythologies. The oldest documented superhuman was in 200 B.C. Putting evidence and theories together, superhuman experts believed The Goddess was the oldest superhuman ever walked the Earth, and conservatively dated about 3,000 years old. The Goddess' power is well-known as well, as she made no effort in hiding it. Her ability was taking superhuman abilities from another superhuman. The result was The Goddess would gain such ability, and the superhuman would lose it. It was robbing, but The Goddess claimed all powers she had taken was willingly given, and she had stopped using her powers since 100 A.D. Yet, she had already acquired almost all known abilities, making her the most powerful superhuman. And using healing and regenerating powers, she lived a few thousand years. (Stop here)

Chapter 2: The Museum

The Superhumans Museum, founded by Nick Neo, showcased artifacts and histories of the superhero era, honoring the superhumans at Superhuman League of Unusual Tactics that fought villains. A man, a journalist named Aaron, late 40's, browsed the museum, walking through the large space, listening to tour guides explain various artifacts, the battle behind it, the female superheroes and villains involved. Aaron continued to browse, looking at costumes claimed to be replicas. He inspected closely, the costume for Trinity "The Tank" Theo, the signature blue, and he noticed it. The scratch on the side of the hips. He realized this wasn't a replica. This was the real costume. The question then became, where is "The Tank" herself? He talked to a guide, an employee that worked at the museum, and inquired about the owner, stating he'd like to meet the owner, for an exclusive interview for a local magazine, and left the employee with his business card. (The scene ends Aaron exits the museum. Wait for the next plot here)

Chapter 3: The Tour

Aaron arrived, and greeted by Nick. As Nick led Aaron to the study, they walked past the kitchen and Aaron saw Elena making a meal using her telekinetic power controlling multiple pans at the same time. Beside Elena was a human dog, Rei "Radar" Ryu in her one hour pet training, her Asian face clearly visible but her posture was of a canine. Knee pads, paw mittens, butt plug tail. Aaron was taken aback at the sight, but did not say anything. (The scene ends as Nick and Aaron walked past the kitchen towards a hallway, before arriving at the study. Wait for the next plot here)

Chapter 4: The Punishment

Yin Bing gave one more warning not to proceed, but Petra mentioned her punishment was because she accidentally injured a civilian in her last mission, and worse, without reporting. Yin Bing instantly become quiet, knowing it was true. Aaron noticed a slight glimpse of worry in Yin Bing's eyes, something the second most powerful superhuman had never displayed. Trinity chuckled, her arrogance was well known, but not as bad as Yin Bing's. Trinity commented the great Yin Bing screwed up, how unexpected. Yin Bing gave her a stare, and threated to incinerate Trinity when she was freed. But a loud smack was heard, came from Petra's hand spanking Yin Bing's butt once. Petra announced let the punishment begin. (The scene ends after Yin Bing one spank was delivered. Wait for the next plot here)

Chapter 5

Nick led Aaron back upstairs, indicated the punishment took long and they should have dinner then retire, and have the interview tomorrow. Aaron was still dumbfounded from what he had witnessed. A powerful superhuman just endured a punishment of such magnitude without retaliating. It proved how well Nick and Petra had rooted in these superhumans' minds. Elena served dinner, 6 plates floating and landing in front of each. Nick, Petra, Trinity, Rei, Aaron, and one supposedly for Yin Bing, whom was understandably absent. The group made small talk, as dinner was finished, Nick asked Elena to lead Aaron to Aaron's luxury guestroom. (The scene ends after Elena bid Aaron goodnight. Wait for the next plot here)
