As what was mentioned, this entire work of fiction is a collection of short stories or for others, simply plot ideas. Given such, some would contain ample dialogue, while some would be brief introductions on plots (that I may or may not potentially expand in the future.)

Given that, this whole fic would remain to be continuously updated whenever I'd come up with new story ideas. So if you'd like, add this on your alert list to stay posted! (:

Superhero AU (Semi-AU)

Genre: Teen Romance, Superhero Fiction, Action

Chad was good at anything and everything; quite the epitome of flawlessness over the eyes of many. Calling the young man 'perfect' seemed to be an understatement given his wits, athletic ability, all-inclusive street smarts, and God-given physical attractiveness that only began to be more evident as the years flew by. Mrs. Dickson often stated herself, that finding a girl to take home wouldn't be such a difficult task for him given his traits.

And boy, was that ever the worst assumption he's ever heard his entire life.

There he was, stuck unmoving outside on the 2nd floor and over the edge of a girl's open window, mentally berating himself over and over for acting like some common stalker.

For a guy of 16 years old, you'd think he'd already have the whole dating business down.

But that wasn't the case for someone like him who'd always be too busy to actually juggle around a normal social life. Being a Teen Ninja was one thing, but having a superhero alter-ego was clearly another.

The ice-cold air steadily concentrated on his feet kept him in levitation a good height above the ground, and he'd crossed his arms over his chest in frustration, obscuring the hero insignia stretched across his bodysuit.

He'd just finished an obstacle course filled with falling debris and smoldering furniture when he rescued a family from a local fire that evening. Surely, he should've felt entirely satisfied with himself for such an achievement that day.

Yet typical as it may seem for his age, Chad couldn't seem to be completely be one with his element for quite some time now due to a particular distracting reason—

—Rachel Mckenzie.

Now he wasn't going to deny that Rachel very much was the first person that ever made his heart beat fast, going back even as far as when she was his second-in-command. Even then, he had no idea for himself just how deep his infatuation had buried itself in his chest when 4 years later after her own decommissioning, he'd almost tripped on his own 2 feet the moment he'd laid his eyes on her for the first time once more now in McClintock Middle.

Heck, if she had such an adverse effect on him after all those years and simply due to being within his range of sight, then he surmised for himself that whatever deal he had with her since their childhood years was most probably much deeper than just a simple passing attraction.

'When did she even transfer here?' He could still remember his questioning voice in his head, both thrilled yet unbelievably nervous at the same time. The only thing that pulled him back to reality was the sound and sight of Maurice snapping his fingers repeatedly over his vision.

"Earth to Chad, I know she's quite a gem but you could at least pretend you're interested in the conversation."

The blonde boy softly shook his head, cracking into a wry smile at just how hopeless he was. Truth to be told, he was never one to be so open with talking about his feelings. But for Maurice to quickly figure out that he was absolutely smitten with the stern-face girl wasn't much of a puzzle to him. His only words of wisdom towards his predicament, was to build the courage and ask her out some time. And that was exactly what he'd set his mind to after finishing his hero duties minutes earlier.

"So, where's all that courage now?" He softly muttered underneath his breath, ice powers wafting from his mouth in pure frustration.

Chad scooted closer once more, peering slightly another time from her bedroom window. By now, her hazel eyes were trained and focused on a book on her lap. Her grown-out flaxen hair was left free and flowing from its usual updo and she'd casually tamed it by tucking a thick lock behind her ear.

His heart throbbed erratically, now seeing for himself a clearer image of her soft-featured face.

'Oh, to hell with it.'

A deep exhale escaped his lungs and he'd mustered up what was left of his boldness to at the very least, rap his knuckles on her windowsill as a form of courtesy.

What stopped him however, was the sudden closing of the book she'd been so immersed into followed by a duck to retrieve something from underneath her beddings.

And when she finally found what she was looking for, Rachel was standing upright, having to have left her bed in a bat of an eyelash and was directly pointing what looked like a 2x4 Technology outside of her open window—exactly to where he was currently hiding.

Deep blue eyes widened from underneath his mask and he'd quickly retaliated with a blast of ice the moment the projectile fired from her device.

Her lips were set in a straight line, accompanied by strong tawny eyes which contrasted his bright eyed and shocked expression. He was absolutely at a complete loss, both from her perceptive skills so alike to that of their arch nemeses, the Teens Next Door, and her disposition screaming nothing but the aura of a trained soldier far from a decommissioned operative.

"Who are you and why are you spying on me?"

Perhaps, he'd bitten off something more than what he thought he could chew.

I've always wondered what it was like if Chad was a full-time teen villain, and instead of being an undercover operative, a superhero in secret. It's kind of a fun thought if Chad would use his ice powers/stupefying abilities for good in contrast to his parents.
