Better in Red

Weekly Contest #370

Friends with Superpowered Benefits

Weekly Contest #360

Sirens rang out in the distance from all directions as Ella was sitting on the cliffside overlooking the last small town untouched by the destruction and chaos she and Donovan caused. Months ago, the two best friends were blessed with powers they couldn’t explain. Ella can produce shockwaves wherever she is, while Donovan gained the ability to manipulate fire. What came from this breakthrough was a rivalry depicted in any graphic novel. Her dedication to always fighting the masses didn’t match well with his now amplified, laid-back lifestyle...
