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 warm glow of neon lights bathed the inside of Grillmaster, a classic 80s-style diner with checkered floors and the rich aroma of sizzling burgers in the air. The booth in the far corner was occupied by four familiar figures, Jackson, Carter, Emily, and Annie, each with a burger in hand and a milkshake nearby. 


Jackson leaned back against the cushioned seat, chewing thoughtfully before speaking. “So, the Bubble Crew is still running missions even while Troy’s off training with Shadow.” His eyes flicked between Carter and Emily. “That’s risky.” 


Carter wiped his mouth with a napkin and shrugged. “We’ve handled worse.” His usual smirk faded slightly. “Still, we need a fourth. Running with just three of us? If something goes south, there’s no backup.” 


Annie stayed quiet, absently stirring her vanilla milkshake. She was only half-listening, still haunted by memories of the last time she went into the field, the pain, the fire, the smell of her own burning flesh.
