---More Than a Hero---
By UltraHerofan
My name is Christopher Worthington, but the majority of Paragon knows me as Storm Samurai, just one more in a city of heroes. Although you wouldn't be able to tell from my name, I'm Japanese, hence the name Storm Samurai. This is my Story. I was 10, my brother was 5, and we were both suddenly thrust into a city filled with danger. My parents were killed in crossfire between Longbow agents and a gang of Tsoo thugs. I don't know much else.
All I remember is waiting for them to come home from their weekly trip to the local grocery store. I was watching the news (yeah, I know it's unusual for a ten year old, but I was an unusual kid.), and suddenly the camera flashed to footage of the Longbow-Tsoo firefight. I managed to catch an image of my parents on the ground. They weren't moving. At first I didn't realize what had just happened, and then it hit me. They were dead. I managed to pull myself together long enough to get my brother and leave. From then on we were on our own. We primarily stole to survive. A few months later I came across a thief who was on the run. He appeared to be only a few years older than me. I helped him hide inside our old house. He returned the favor by teaching my brother and I some basic fighting skills. A few years passed, and yet another day of thievery had come. That day, I stole from the wrong person.
