Story: A construction worker who goes by the name Leah Activa and works on a crew that builds bridges in her city. She’s always had her superpower and her parents first noticed it when she’d complete advanced LEGO sets in the time it took them to open the box. She once built a hospital for children injured in a bus crash in 37 seconds.
Superpower: Can erect buildings in a matter of seconds using just her bare hands.
Arch nemesis: Breaking Down Boy, whose only mission in life is to destroy every building he sees regardless of those living within its walls.
Start your story prompt: Leah stood back and watched the cyclists cross the bridge. Summer was a great time to build bridges because it was so rewarding to watch them get used immediately.
This bridge was no different. A family crossed the bridge with a picnic basket in hand, headed towards the big park in the city centre. Leah locked eyes with the dad and waved at him.
And then the buildings behind them collapsed. And she heard the familiar laugh of Breaking Down Boy...
