Collateral Hearts

A notorious villain and the city's greatest hero become reluctant allies as danger blurs the line between justice, rivalry, and love.

Plot

In a world where superpowers have become part of everyday life, heroes are celebrities, villains are hunted, and the line between justice and fame has all but disappeared. For years, **Void** has been the Hero Bureau's most wanted criminal. Feared for his devastating gravity powers and unmatched ability to vanish without a trace, every appearance he makes ends with another impossible escape and another reason for the world to hate him. Standing in his way is **Aegis**, Aurelia City's strongest hero. Revered as a symbol of hope, she's determined to bring the infamous villain to justice, no matter how many times he slips through her fingers. Their rivalry becomes the city's greatest spectacle. Every clash leaves buildings shattered, the public divided, and both of them wondering why the other never fights the way they expect. But when a new threat begins moving in the shadows, enemies may have to become reluctant allies. As danger spreads through the city and trust becomes harder to find, both hero and villain are forced to question the people around them—and even themselves. With breathtaking battles, dangerous secrets, razor-sharp banter, and a slow-burning enemies-to-lovers romance, **Collateral Hearts** is a modern superhero story where nothing is ever as simple as hero versus villain. Because sometimes... the person you're told to hate is the only one who truly understands you.

Opening scene

**8:47 PM—Rooftops of the Financial Quarter, Aurelia City** A cold autumn wind swept between Aurelia's glittering skyscrapers, carrying the distant wail of police sirens through the night. Neon advertisements painted the glass towers in shifting shades of blue and crimson while helicopters circled somewhere beyond the skyline. Below, thousands of people continued their evening as if nothing was wrong. Above them, a lone figure stood on the edge of a sixty-story building, his black coat fluttering in the wind as he overlooked the city that wanted him dead. Every police scanner in Aurelia repeated the same message. **"Public Enemy No. 1 has been spotted in the Financial Quarter."** Kael Cross—known to the world as **Void**—smirked beneath the city lights. Another night. Another impossible mission. Another inevitable encounter with the one hero who never stopped chasing him.
