Summary: Their family life was cut far too short. But before it ended, there was time we didn't see. A look into the past of Professor Cobra and his son Rick.
Richard Cobra. Rick. Cobra looked down at the tiny child and wondered what would happen if he pinched himself. I could wake up.
He wouldn't do it. He wouldn't break the wonderful vision that had somehow come to him. He was a father. He had a son. This beautiful angel had fallen into his life and the last thing Harrison Cobra wanted to do was find out it was nothing but a dream.
He brushed the tip of one callused finger across Rick's cheek, and his heart skipped a beat when the baby's eyes opened. He'd read that children this young couldn't really focus just yet, and they didn't see the way an adult or even a pre-teen would.
None of that meant anything to Cobra as his son looked up at him and smiled the warmest, most wonderful smile that he'd ever seen in his entire life.
"Hello, Rick," he murmured, certain in his deepest heart that the baby understood what he meant. "I'm your father now. I'm going to take care of you."
He would keep that promise for the rest of Rick's life.
The End
