Agent 47

Agent Maurice Copeland - STORM Handler

## History

Parker's Parents were Scientists at Nebula Dynamics. While his mother was pregnant they were developing a super soldier serum. Nebula dynamics were tasked by STORM to replicate a super soldier serum that was developed years ago. The serum only had 1 successful bond and the soldier that survived eventually went mad and became a supervillain. The serum they were develop was in its experimental phases and was not refined enough to move to the human trial phase. The calculations were off and the tests they ran failed and every test came back with the same result, insanity. Their work was progressing however all be it very slowly.

It was a routine Wednesday for Thomas and Nora, waking up at 6 am, showers, Coffee and breakfast. Nora was 6 months pregnant with Parker and they were both growing more and more excited as the days grew closer to his birth. They left for work and arrived at the Nebula dynamics facility hidden underground just on the outskirts of Silver City. The base was well hidden to prevent any supervillain attacks as this was the main research facility.

They day progressed as usual, Meetings in the morning, then Lunch and finally back into the lab to work on the formula in the afternoon. Today was finally the day they would have a breakthrough and finally they had a stable compound! The tests came back and there was a 100% molecular bond result and best of all no Insanity drawbacks. They rushed to the serum station and generated the 1st Vial, when suddenly the facility rumbled and the power went out. The next thing that could be hears was the sound of explosions and people screaming.

The emergency generators kicked in and the intercoms blasted throughout the facility. \*REDACTED\* had found the facility and was attacking. As part of the supervillain protocols Thomas and Nora scrubbed the files from the computers, losing all their data and today's breakthrough in the process. But they didn't mind as they had the vial and they could replicate the formula at another facility.

As soon as the drives were scrubbed they took off for the nearest emergency exit where safety pods were stationed. Thomas grabbed the experimental elemental gun they had also been working on. They seemed to be the only two left in this section and as they neared the safety pods the two were thrown to the ground as an explosion broke through the western wall.  \*REDACTED\* stepped through and began to cackle. " Professor Cross, what a wonderful coincidence! I requested a meeting with you but your receptionist said your schedule was full. So I hope you don't mind but I freed up the rest of your day. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!".

"What do you want?", Thomas asked. "Why I just want to talk to you about your work my good fellow. A little birdy told me that you were working on giving others super powers and that doesn't sit well with me". The Vilnian smirked, "So I'm here to ask you very nicely, and PAINFULLY to stop". Thomas yelled for Nora to run to the pod and he would follow. As Nora was running for the pod something hit her with such force that she was flung into the pod and very briefly knocked her out.

As she woke, Thomas was at the pod and initiating the escape protocols. She looked over his shoulder and could see that he had froze \*REDACTED\* in place. She felt a pain in her stomach and she knew something was wrong with the baby. As Thomas hit the final button to seal the pod, a hand reached over his shoulder and pulled him from the pod. The pod then took Nora to safety leaving Thomas stranded with \*REDACTED\* . The pain in her stomach was amplified by the pain in her heart.

The Pods were programmed to go straight to a STORM air base. There on the base was Agent William Copeland, AKA Agent 37. William was STORM's top agent and the Liaison of the super soldier experiments. The doctors flanked his sides and rushed in and checked on her and informed her that her child has been injured in the blast and their heartbeat was slowing. Her husband was taken from her and now it seems as if her child too. Nora yelled for everyone to get out and as per Agent Copeland's orders the room cleared. Nora was uncontrollably crying at this stage at the thought of losing everything, and then in her pocket she had realized something was there. Thomas had slipped the Serum into her coat before she woke.

Instinctually she reached for the syringe on the pedestal beside the bed knowing that what she was about to do next would land her in a lot of trouble. There were mandates outlawing the genetic modification of minors. The law was brought in ever since a ring of Scientists were caught trying to genetically modify children to activate their super powers. Nora was unsure what would happen next, but if it saved her baby it would be worth it.

The syringe hit the floor, as did the vial and she went unconscious. 2 days had past by the time she awoke. Doctors on either side saying they had some good news for her. Her child had stabilized and was showing incredibly healthy vitals. She was overjoyed as her last ditch effort had worked. The doctors then parted as Agent Copeland entered the room with a stern expression, he then broke the news that Thomas was confirmed as a casualty of the attack and that she was to be charged with breaking the Gene manipulation mandate, they had found the empty vial after she went unconscious.

3 months passed since and her son, Parker Cross was born. Agent Copeland promising not to start her investigation until after he was born. The investigation began and so did the tests on Parker. The tests confirmed that he was genetically enhanced and that he super soldier serum had worked. Nora was sentenced to a minimum of 25 years to life in prison. However Agent Copeland seen this as an opportunity. Copeland seeing the potential in a super soldier that worked and swore allegiance to STORM, especially if the madness had been eliminated from this serum. A deal was cut and she would stay out of prison, the catch was Parker becoming a STORM agent and her starting her work again developing more serums.

As soon as Parker was 5 they began his training and schooling. He was sent from base to base under Agents Copelands watch and part of a new covert sub division of STORM, project 47. From the get go he was told that he needed to work for STORM or else they would prosecute his mother for what she had done. Project 47 became STORMS covert ops and was centered around Parker and sending him into covert missions that may cause international trouble if more well known heroes were sent in. When Parker turned 14 he was sent on his 1st mission. He was sent to deal with a renegade prince who murdered his father and usurped the throne from his sister, who was next in line. Parker followed his training and took him down silently and the kingdom was restored to the rightful heir. Parker then became STORM's hidden hand of justice. While he didn't agree with holding his mother's charges over him, deep down he liked the feeling of being a hero and thought that maybe one day he could step out of the darkness and into the light and be a symbol of hope and protection.

After a mission left his identity compromised STORM decided to push him as their new in house super hero. They leveraged their connections and had him added to the Hashtag heroes team. Informing Parker its the next step in his development but he couldn't help think there was an ulterior motive for STORM adding him.
