Post-Credits Scene
Shade of Blue
Whish!
Katie kicked the soccer ball, sending it over to Doug, who was then intercepted by Harriet. He passed it back to Katie who took it on to the end goal where Dayton waited. Katie and Dayton locked eyes, Dayton extending a silent challenge to bring it on. Katie nodded, accepting that challenge.
Joshua sat on the sidelines nearby, sitting this match out to watch his team play. He smiled up at the sunshine beaming down on their heads. He took a swig of his water, feeling the cool summer breeze through his hair. It was nice to have a real field for himself and his team to play on again.
Behind him was a brand-new base, similar to the old one, though now in a completely different area of Silver City. A door opened on the side of the brownstone building directly beside him, and General Kenpachi stepped out. The old officer took off his hat and wiped his balding head, glancing up at the sun. He watched the soldiers play for a second before stepping up to where Joshua sat. "Captain," he said.
"General," Joshua replied..
"How's the game going?"
"Pretty good." Joshua gestured to the seat beside him. "Have a seat."
The old general did so, pulling out a small file from his briefcase and flipping through it. "Thought you ought to know," he said. "We've just about finished production on the second Ranger suit. Blue this time."
Joshua nodded, watching as Katie and Harriet tussled over the ball.
"We'll be starting our search for candidates very soon."
Joshua looked over at the general in confusion. "I already have my team," he said. He nodded to his friends out on the field.
General Kenpachi smiled. "Yes, well," he said. "Unfortunately, the committee gets a say in that. You can submit their names though. See how it goes. I imagine they'll have a strong standing at the very least."
Joshua rolled his eyes. Of course the committee had to have the deciding vote.
"We do have one potential candidate lined up already," the general said, looking over his file. "A young soldier out in Corinth. I've got an agent out there, and she's been sending me some promising reports so far. Thought you might be interested in looking him over."
Joshua raised an eyebrow and took the file the general offered him. He flipped it open onto a number of personal and military records, all clipped together with a small photograph of a young man with long blonde hair wearing a cowboy hat.
