Summus Proelium

Cassidy Evans grew up in a rich family in an incredibly prosperous Detroit. Twenty years ago, random people across the world began to have encounters with small, mysterious glowing orbs granting them amazing superpowers. Through those two decades, as people have gained these strange gifts, this once-failing city has become a hub of revitalized economy. Detroit is now one of the centers of super-tech manufacturing, and Cassidy's own parents stand at the top of that, the wealthiest family around. Yes, Cassidy has led a very special life, in many ways. But there are secrets in her past as well. Secrets within her family. A simple act of sneaking out will begin a domino effect leading her to learn those secrets. Witnessing a murder, gaining her own powers and barely escaping with her life, her first night is a busy one. But it's only the start, because as Cassidy will learn, it isn't the constant super-powered gang fights and life and death decisions around every corner that truly weigh on you. It's the Family Business. This story updates Monday and Friday one week, Wednesday the next, and so on back and forth as it alternates updating with my other story.
