CO2_GHOUL

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.

Bubble Boy

The weeks passed slowly for Troy. His body healed, but his mind remained restless. Most of his time in the hospital was spent at Annie's bedside, the two of them talking for hours about everything and nothing. Their bond grew stronger, flirting, teasing, sharing quiet moments as they found comfort in each other’s presence. 


Annie was different now. The scars on her body were a permanent reminder of what had happened, but Troy never looked at her with pity, only admiration. She was still the same Annie to him, strong and stubborn, the girl who had stood by his side when no one else did. 


Troy was released from the hospital first. His broken arm had healed, but his routine barely changed. Every day after school, he would visit Annie, sneaking in snacks and joking about hospital food. He told her stories about how Jackson and Carter had started teasing him more, how Kasey barely looked at him anymore, and how the Bubble Crew was starting to feel like an actual team.
