Across the Way

By Edward R Grondin Jr and Edward R. Grondin Jr.

They were sidekicks, heroes' shadows, villains' pawns, survivors of a war nobody won.

Now they are relics, living under government watch in a city that has long forgotten how to hope. Their days blur into dead-end jobs, cheap coffee, and memories that bite harder than any supervillain ever did. The world has moved on, but for these ex-sidekicks, the past is a prison with no escape, a constant reminder of all they lost and all they failed to become.

When a faceless threat hijacks every screen in the city and issues a chilling ultimatum, the last people anyone would trust with saving the world are the only ones left to try. Old rivalries ignite, uneasy alliances form, and every decision carries the weight of potential disaster. The line between hero and villain was always thin and now it has become razor sharp, cutting through loyalties and forcing choices no one wanted to make.

The city is on edge. The world is on the brink. The only thing standing between total annihilation and survival is a crew of broken misfits who know exactly how it feels to lose everything.

When the end comes calling, will they find the courage to fight for a future they stopped believing in or will they watch the world burn just to see what rises from the ashes?
