Part 1

"If I fell, would you catch me?"
"Well, that depends on who you are."

Persephone was a disgrace to her parents. Her parents both had superpowers, and she... didn't. She lived with her great-aunt on her dad's side. Aunt Apple was 93. Persephone always knew that Aunt Apple would pass one day. She just didn't know that it would happen so soon.

Aurelius was known as his parents' "Golden Child". Showered with attention, Aurelius had everything he had ever wanted. He was treated like a prince inside the mansion he called home. He was always told that he was "special", because there wasn't a single superpower in the world that he didn't have.
