Hey guys, welcome back to another fantastic day of writing. Part of this story came from TheDM, while most of it was idolized itself. Essentially, if you haven't read the description of this story, Lincoln joins a group of superheroes in secret—almost like a vigilante. These guys are gonna have basic powers (meaning no eye-lasers or shape shifters); I want it to be a grounded story that could possibly happen in reality. And there will be references to the MCU, DCEU, even the SHV (Shyamalanaverse), just basic inspiration. There will be more supers later on, but try and focus on these ones currently. Warning: This story is going to be very dark (hence the M rating). Enjoy!
