The Flames Of Justice: A Paragon Times Exclusive
By Susan Daniels
Who amongst us does not know the name of Jason Tucker? Multi billionaire philanthropist, turned Superhero, turned deceased, almost one year ago today.
However, Mr Tucker, as so many of us now know, did not die in a warehouse fire. Mr Tucker was forced to go underground, and live in secret amongst us all, for the better part of a year, because of an insidious plot to remove him from power. And who caused this? His good friend, former Mayor Michael Anson, who subverted the Foundation which Mr Tucker and he started into a den of crime, forcing us all, as Citizens, into a long series of votes which would have, eventually, culminated in Anson being elected a life-long official of Paragon.
This reporter has followed the tasks and trials of our Fire Guardian for several months, watching him plan out the raids and strikes against Foundation-owned buildings, which had been turned into criminal training camps. I have seen him reunite with his lost love, and, stranger yet, his deceased friend Samuel Edwards, who was brought back to act as a SAMI Avatar. The most powerful and friendly SAMI to ever exist. With these two by his side, Mr Tucker took his Fire Guardian persona, and, recently, created a new one, called The Phoenix; rising from his own ashes to wreak havoc on his so called friend, Anson.
Paragon Times is proud to bring to you, for the first time since his re-emergence, an exclusive interview with Jason Tucker, in his home, a formerly abandoned Supergroup Base.
Paragon Times: Mr Tucker, Welcome.
Jason Tucker: Oh, please, call me Jason. Weve been through a lot together.
PT: Thank you. Jason
how does it feel to be alive again?
JT: It feels
.honestly, rather strange. Being able to walk the streets as myself, and not as
the identity that Ive used whenever Ive wanted to be incognito.
PT: May I ask what that was?
JT: It was an elderly gentleman.
PT: Was anyone fooled by it?
JT: You were, when we met in Pocket D. We
ran into each other.
PT: (Laughs) I think I remember. That was you?
JT: It was, yes.
PT: Jason, let me get serious for a moment.
JT: Sure.
PT: The past twelve months have been hell for you. How did you cope?
JT: The same way anyone does. One day at a time. Of course, I had Sam (editors note: Sam is the SAMI Avatar of his deceased friend) and eventually, you, Sarriss (Groundwalker) and Emily (Ms Campbell)
PT: If I may ask, how did it feel to be betrayed by your associate, Mr Anson?
JT: Terrible, just terrible.
PT: Are you familiar with the news that his body was found at the base of the Foundation headquarters last week?
JT: Yes, Ive heard something about it. Its more than likely the result of one of his lieutenants getting ambitious.
PT: That would probably have been former Paragon City police detective Paul Regetti.
JT: I dont know that name, but anythings possible.
PT: Are you aware that Mr Regettis skeleton was found, picked clean, in a warehouse in Talos a few days after Mr Ansons body was discovered?
JT: (Pausing) No. Although Im not surprised.
PT: Oh? Anything else to add to that?
JT: No comment
PT: So, what are you going to do now with yourself?
JT: I dont know. Ive been focused on bringing Mike to justice for so long, now, I need to step back, and rediscover who I am. Hopefully, with my fiancé.
PT: And that would be?
JT: That would be Emily Campbell. I proposed shortly after we found out about Mikes death, and she said yes.
PT: Will we see little Fire Guardians running around before too long?
JT: (Laughs) Its a bit early for that, but possibly.
PT: Jason, speaking of The Fire Guardian. Does he still have a place in Paragon?
JT: Susan
I became The Fire Guardian as a promise to a dying man. That mans long dead- the task I set out to do is finished. There are so many heroes in Paragon; not just in costume, but everywhere. One might say that The Fire Guardian has had his run, and now its time to fade away.
PT: But, under the right circumstances
would he re-emerge?
JT: Under the right circumstances?
PT: Yes.
JT: Id have to say
yes.
PT: So, Jason, one last question. How did the Fire Guardian come into being in the first place?
JT: Its a long story.
PT: We have plenty of time.
JT: Well
I guess you could say that the only person who was surprised, when I won the lottery, was me.

Sam stared at me sadly. I cant believe this is goodbye.
I sighed. Sam
its done. I cant live here anymore, I have a life to lead with Emily.
Will you come back?
I doubt it. And I did. I truly did. No matter what I had told Susan for her newspaper, I intended the Fire Guardian to die. There were too many bad memories.
I looked up at the face of my friend. Do you want me to keep you running? Therell be plenty of porn for you to pick up.
Nah, whats the use? Porns no good unless you have someone to watch it with.
Okay
Jay?
Yeah? My hand hovered near the power switch.
We made a good team, didnt we?
I fought against the lump in my throat, which had appeared from nowhere. Yeah, Sam. I whispered. We were the best.
Sam nodded, one last time, and then faded into nothingness as I shut him off. All lights and power went down with him, until the only light in the base was that of the blue Base Portal, shimmering blue in the distance.
I walked to it slowly, taking everything in, yet never looking back.
Outside the portal, Emily waited for me in our new car. It was going to take us to my
.our apartment, the penthouse suite at Foundation Headquarters, to start our life together.
You okay? She asked me, curiously. I stared back into her loving, curious eyes, and smiled.
Yeah. I nodded. For the first time in a long time. Im fine.
The End
Authorial Interjection: Holy [censored], that was long. 23,363 over ten chapters? I was insane to write it, and you were insane to read it. I appreciate it, though.
A lot of my thanks has already gone out, before the prologue, but I want to say a briefer one here: To anyone who has helped me in any way, be it pointing out my mistakes, encouraging me to write more when I really couldnt be bothered, or just giving me random information (You guys would never believe who gets into arguments about table legs when shes drunk!) I owe you a debt of gratitude I cant repay. However, that doesnt mean I wont be buying you guys drinks at Bristol.
Will The Fire Guardian return? We shall have to see.
wow, gd work 
wat a way to end it
