"I've tried telling them I'm only fifteen. That no sane government would force a boy my age to fight crime. 'But Max, you're a superhero! Isn't this what you want?' Actually, no. I just kind of want to get through high school. Then we'll talk about this 'superhero' business."

Max Owens is your average high school sophomore.

Well, he tries to be, at least.

At fifteen, he's got more important things to do than fight the infamous Vinicus Cauldwell. With his single mother having recently lost her job, Max is determined to help his family get back up on its feet. The publicity and pressure that comes with being a superhero would be too much to handle right now. But it's hard to fly under the radar, when you can literally fly.

Meanwhile, Vinicus Cauldwell enjoys the power he has as Murkbourne's most feared super-villain. For once, he can sit back and relax without being pestered by the police. That is, until Max arrives. Vinicus isn't happy about having to fight a child, but he can't let Max find out. After all, super-villains can't be "good people"... Can they?

We can't all be born heroes. But most of us are Heroes at Heart.

Actual translated title; Maomao* Is Also Saving The Villain TodayAlt Title: 猫猫今天也在拯救反派[快穿]Author: 啄米Tang Xi is a little kitten, a plump and cute golden-haired cat.  Because becoming a spirit was not allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he conscientiously disguised himself as a cub and ate and drank in front of humans every day.  Until one day he was captured by the system and sent to work in thousands of worlds to complete tasks.  System: What is our slogan?  Tang Xi: Dried fish! Dried fish! Dried fish!  The system hates iron for not becoming steel: it is to save the villain!  ...  Tang Xi bumped into the scene of the villain's murder while holding the dried fish, and was so frightened that he turned back into a kitten.  The villain looked strange and unpredictable, and picked up a puddle of kittens that fell on the ground: "Huh?"  Tang Xi: System help! I'm going to be eaten! QWQ  system: Farewell. :)  The villain gently squeezed the cat's paw and raised his eyebrows with an interested expression.  Tang Xi: ...Meow.  Go through it with cuteness.jpgEvery world has some flaws in its character. Gong x a kitten that can be tricked away by delicious food.  ps: Shou has the attribute of being squeamish when faced with gong, and has the attribute of being a heartthrob to others (who wouldn't like it) Where is the cat), a little kitten who is inexperienced in the world.  Gong is one person from beginning to end, attack and body and mind are only each other from beginning to end.*maomao; basically a cutesy way of saving cat. Cat in Chinese is mao, so repeating it is like a cute nickname, so I changed it to kitten.
