Cons of Saving the World (MunchingUniverse)

You know that awkward moment when you suddenly realize that your civilian flatmate and best friend is actually also your arch-nemesis? No? Well. /These/ boys sure do. Superpowers suck. Secret identities suck. Lovey dovey feelings suck. /Evil flatmates suck./

It's because I love him.

That's how it all started.

Every day he would come home all roughed up, looking terrible, looking discouraged and defeated, and I thought: You know what? This has to stop. He doesn't deserve this crap.

So I became a superhero.

I've always kept my powers a secret – I didn't want to be a superhero, not to begin with. When I realized I had the power, I decided then and there that I would never become a hero or a villain. Too much drama for me. Didn't wanna deal with that.

But now that I've got a reason – protecting him from whatever or whoever hurts him every day – now I am perfectly fine with being a superhero.

And, since I never broadcasted the fact that I had superpowers, everyone thinks I'm one of the people who just doesn't have powers – which is just as normal as having them. So I may be one of the only superpeople with half a chance at keeping up a secret identity – and, as I hoped, that has eliminated a lot of the drama you hear about in school.

On the other hand, it's created some drama of its own.
