At Nightingale Academy, where heroes are forged based on the destructive power of their abilities, Troy stands at the bottom of the hierarchy. His gift? Bubbles, harmless, fragile, and utterly unremarkable in a world where strength defines worth. Mocked by peers and ignored by the system, he struggles to prove that power isn’t just about destruction.

But when a single night shatters his perception of what it means to be a hero, Troy is forced to confront the dark truth behind the heroes he once admired. In a world where justice is painted in shades of gray, he must carve his own path, one where power is redefined, and saving lives means more than just winning battles.

Even if it means standing alone.

The final bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. The halls of Nightingale Academy buzzed with students eager to leave, but Troy barely heard any of it. His mind was still back on the field, on the look in their eyes, the fear, the disgust. 


Stepping outside, he kept his hood up, his hands stuffed into his pockets. His ribs ached with every step, but he ignored it. 


Waiting near the gates, Jackson, Emily, and Carter, the Bubble Crew stood together. They spotted him immediately, their expressions shifting. 


“Troy,” Jackson called out, his usual confidence softened with concern. 


Emily crossed her arms. “We saw the fight.” 


Jackson took a step forward. “Man, we get it. Annie, what happened to her was messed up. But what you did today?” He exhaled. “That’s not you.”
