MARVEL: ALL I WANT IS TO BE A QUIET HONOR STUDENT

ShiroTL
[Marvel] × [JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure] × [Invincible] I transferred to Midtown High at the start of the semester with one simple goal: keep my head down, survive homeroom, and graduate without incident. But fate—and New York—had other plans. Some people just can’t resist poking the weird new kid. Take Flash Thompson, the school’s resident meathead. Thought it’d be hilarious to trip me in the hallway. Bad idea. Before he even finished smirking, Platinum Star—my towering, purple-clad Stand—zipped behind him in a blur of motion. In less than half a second, every screw in Thompson’s cafeteria chair vanished. CRACK! Down he went, landing hard on his pride—and his tailbone. “Too heavy for your own good, huh?” I muttered, not even turning around. Then there was the alley incident. Some lowlife tried to shake me down for lunch money on my walk home. Big mistake. I inhaled—Hamon surges through my veins!—and slammed my palm onto a nearby manhole cover. THOOM! The hundred-pound steel disc launched skyward like a discus hurled by Hercules, smacking the thug clean off his feet and into a dumpster two blocks over. From the fire escape above, Peter Parker gaped, wide-eyed. “That—that’s not how physics works!” I shrugged. “In my world, there’s no such thing as ‘physics.’ Only Euler.” Peter dropped down in front of me, voice shaky. “JoJo… what kind of monster are you?” I adjusted the brim of my hat—the one that melted into my hair like shadow—and gave him a tired look. “Hey, hey, hey. You’re way too loud. Move it—I’ve got dinner to cook.”

Frozen Hearts, Hidden Lies

Lina Chen wakes from a coma with her engagement ring, her ex-boyfriend's face in her mind, and no memory of the past two years. To her shock, a ring adorns her finger—not the one her ex gave her. A pair of twins call her "mama." And a devastatingly handsome CEO, Ethan Blackwood, claims to be her husband. She doesn't recognize any of them. Terrified and disoriented, Lina rejects this strange new life and returns to her family and her ex-boyfriend, Ryan—the man she believes she was about to marry. They welcome her with open arms. But something is wrong. Ryan is unusually close to her best friend, Chloe. Her parents dodge every question about Ethan. And no one can explain why she has a scar on her wrist or why she flinches at the sight of stairs. Then the memories begin to surface in fragments. A restraining order against Ryan. Chloe's hand on her back—pushing. A letter Lina wrote before the coma: "If I forget, find me. Don't give up." Lina secretly reconnects with Ethan and the twins. He doesn't pressure her to remember. He simply shows her evidence—videos, documents, a diary—that paints a horrifying picture: her coma wasn't an accident. Her memory loss was induced. And the people she trusts most are the ones who erased her. Now Lina must pretend she's still lost while piecing together the truth. Because the closer she gets to remembering, the closer someone gets to silencing her forever. She thought she woke to a nightmare. But the real nightmare is the life she's desperate to forget.

The Devil Who Claimed Me

She hated him for lying to her and kidnapping her. He would burn the world to protect her. “I’d rather die than be owned by you,” I screamed. He approached slowly, his expression cold and unreadable. “You can’t die without my permission.” -------------- Mila Vega, a promising heart surgeon, lived her life on her own terms until she saved a stranger, until she found out the weak and injured man she had brought home was a ruthless devil. Dominic Russo, a mafia king, cold, calculative, untouchable. Mila hated him. She hated him for locking her up, for the way he looked at her as if she belonged to him. ----------- I stepped back as he approached. “You won’t be able to cage me here,” I barked. “I’ll find my freedom.” He sneered, with dangerous light in his eyes. “Try it. You won’t make it past the gate." He didn’t bluff. He wouldn’t let her leave his side, no matter what. Trapped in his dangerous world, Mila should run. But why couldn’t she stop thinking about him? She saw him kill without mercy, yet his eyes softened when they rested on her. His touch was possessive, but protective. ‘Does he love me?’ Her heart raced. In the world ruled by blood and power, with enemies close in from every corner, emotions were luxury. Love couldn’t bloom. Just as she started to wonder if this monster had a heart, she realized his heart was too cold to warm it. She understood she was nothing but his plaything. Mila’s hatred ignited all over again. She wanted to disappear from his world for good. But the man she called a monster, a ruthless killer, might be the only one willing to burn the world to protect her. ------------ He pinched my chin, putting enough force to make me wince. “You will not run again.” I dared to look into his eyes defiantly. “And if I do?” He said in a calm tone. “I’ll bring you back.”
