Heiress. Performer. Killer.
I walked away from the life I knew after shots rang out in that dark alleyway. Shedding the version of me that could live comfortably as long as I conformed, I became something that could only exist cloaked in the shadows of Harmony. Something that shoots first and asks questions second.
Trickshot.
But now, my past is running to catch up with me as a new player makes a move for power. My friends and I have done what we could to free the city from The Corporation and we aren't going to let another corrupt mind come into power. Especially not her.
All the while, I do my best to not let it show that the man I saved so many years ago is the man I fall asleep thinking about. The man I look for first when I enter a room and search for on my darkest nights. The man who reminds me of my humanity all with a simple glance in my direction.
I wonder what we could be if we didn't live in a world like this.

Successor. Brother. Traitor.
The only thing I ever wanted was to run the family business. I'd worked for years to make it something worth bringing into the light, but a single act of betrayal changed everything.
Disappearing into the night, she and I left behind everything we'd ever known and started over together. While our group has grown and our mission has found a new focus, one thing has never changed.
She's the reason I wake up and choose to live another day.
She's the reason I continue to survive in the bleak world we live in.
She's the one who carries my heart with her.
Nothing will get between us and our fight to save the city we call home. Just like nothing will stand between me and protecting the woman who saved my life all those years ago.
I wonder if she knows that I'll love her forever.
