<p> <b> [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] </b> </p> <p> <b> Utopia. People all around the world thought this place was the best. It made sense. This was the district where 80% of superheroes came from, and they were usually the best of the best. </b> <b> For that reason, Liam had been terrified when he'd come here. </b> </p> <p> <b> Now? </b> </p> <p> <b> Now he knew better. </b> </p> <p> <b> This place was insane, supers acted like they were humans, and humans acted like they were </b> <b> <i> equal. </i> </b> <b> Liam couldn't wrap his head around it, even after months of living in this damn place. </b> </p> <p> <b> </b> <b> Even after the day came when he could get a superpower. </b> </p> <p> <b> </b> <b> People his age were coddled and treated like children, and the adults were barely any better. It made them so weak-minded that it got to the point where they seriously thought they weren't weapons of mass destruction… </b> </p> <p> <b> His life had been too different before this. People kept each other close, but their guns closer. In a district where death wasn't the worst thing that could happen to your corpse, there really wasn't an alternative. </b> </p> <p> <b> There was so little violence now, and even supers, </b> (Supers!) <b> got scared off if he mentioned where he'd come from. He couldn't even carry a gun, in a place where half the damn people surrounding him were <em> bulletproof. </em> </b> </p> <p> <b> ...It was all just too much. </b> </p> <p> <b> His mom had fought tooth and nail to get him here, to give him a chance to become a hero, but what kind of hero would someone like him become? </b> </p> <p> <b> Especially now that he knew his powers were much more dangerous than he thought? </b> </p>
