Shadowing the Phoenix. Agents of STARR Shared World, #1

When the Phoenix if flying, Shadow comes out to playAinsley Bishop I wasn't always a street kid, but when my home life got too dangerous, I chose the streets. They were safer. A whiz with computers, I quickly found my own way into the world of hacking. That's when they came. STARR. They'd heard about Phoenix and wanted her. But there were a few requirements. I had to leave my old life behind. Fine by me.
A decade later, I have no regrets. I've used my skills, and the ones STARR taught me, to help a lot of people. When I come across a trafficking ring online, I make it my mission to shut it down. If only Shadow wouldn't get in my way.  Kason Manning Known only as 5H4D0W online, the moniker fits. I watch and wait in the shadows for the right time to pounce. I'm what we in the hacker world call a Grayhat.
My methods aren't always ethical, but they get the job done. When I stumbled onto a trafficking ring on the dark web, I made the snap decision to infiltrate them and take them down from the inside. That's when I met her. Known only as PH03N1X, her fiery spirit called to me. But she has secrets she won't share, ones I fear will burn the world down around me. But then, maybe that was what I needed-to rise from the ashes renewed.
