Paragon City, Rhode Island.
A man sits at a desk much like the one elementary school children sit in. He is dressed in all black armor with two large antennae sticking out of his helmet. A white bug adorns his chest. He stares at a piece of paper as if he is taking a test. He seems to be in the DMV. Several of the office workers are collecting money and taking bets.
Worker 1:" 50 dollars says he doesnt pick a used name."
Worker 2:" ahh a fool and his money...you're on."
Another office worker approaches.
Worker 3:"That bug guy again."
Worker 1:"Yep"
The man gets out of his chair and approaches the window.
Man:"Here goes."
The worker takes the paper and begins typing on the computer.
Worker 1:"Im sorry 'The Roach' is taken."
The man walks home dejected.
"This is the story of my life. I am a hero with no name. My real name is Jacen Kain, I'm an accountant for one of Paragon's biggest financial firms."
Jacen Kain transforms into his regular clothes and goes back to work.He sits in his cubicle and stares out the window.
"Luckily I have one of these offices on the 22nd floor so I can look out and see all the heroes flyingby. All of them have names."
The Statesman flies by his window.
"So why did I come to Paragon,Rhode Island the home of the superhero? The clam chowder is to die for."
Kain's supervisor comes to his cubicle.
Supervisor:"Im gonna need you to work this weekend okay...also there's a meeting at 2."
As his supervisor walks off Kain's watch goes off.
'Watch':"Hey...um...what are we calling you now?"
Kain:"what's up?"
'Watch':"I got a lead that's right up your alley. I got a weaponshipment going down in Kings Row right now."
Kain:"I got work....."
'Watch':"This is Freedom Corp type stuff. Good publicity."
"I dont have a talking watch.It's my contact Rodney.Think of him as a superhero agent. The watch is cool. Way better than flashing a light into the sky. I mean how many bug heroes are in Paragon....Is that the Beetle signal or the Roach signal?
Anyhow there are ordinances against that sort of thing when some flying type was blinded by it and crashed into a building."
Kain gets up and heads into the hallway. Minutes later he is on the roof.He touches a notch on his belt.His clothing melts and transforms into the black body armor.H e takes a running leap off the building.
"This never gets old."
He clings to the side of the building and then leaps 30 feet over to another one.
Meanwhile in an abandoned warehouse several Skulls are going over some crates.
Skull 1:" This is military grade stuff...very powerful."
Kain in armor smashes through a skylight.
Skull 1:"It's the Beetle."
Skull 2:"No that's the Black Spider."
Skull 3:"Are you crazy...stop argueing and shoot."
"Ahhh my fan club."
The Skulls shoot at Kain who easily dodges the bullets. Kain lands on the floor in a three point stance.
END PART ONE
"I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams." Aunt May SM2
i dreamed a dream, but now that dream is gone...good bye Paragon
