Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

The End of the Day

McFist was dead and given how everyone had ended up knowing his true colors, there were very little who mourned him. His brother Terry didn't mourn him, his stepson Bash didn't mourn him and so the only person who mourned him was his wife Marci.

Yet Viceroy was still out there. This worried Randy a bit. When would Viceroy strike now that he was on his own, no longer working under McFist?

Still, as he was once more among his family and friends after such a long time Randy was left brooding. Ultimately, he cracked a smile. After such a long time he had come home, he was among his friends and family again. What reason was there for him to be brooding? It was a time for celebration!

As Norrisville celebrated the Ninja having saved it from certain doom, Rick Finlayson strolled along a sidewalk. As his walking stick moved across the pavement, the sounds of footsteps came to his ears. They were coming from behind him at an alarming pace.

"Mr. Finlayson?" It was the Weinerman girl, Ken's girlfriend Heidi.

Rick stopped and turned to face her. He might have been blind but it was the polite thing to do. "Yes, Heidi? How may I help you?"

"I was wondering if I could ask you some questions." Said Heidi. "You lived through the Cuban missile crisis. Was the fear hanging over Norrisville today anything like that?"

"Heidi, I was twenty-one years old then. People went to bed every night thinking the world was going to blow up. There was no superhero to help us. That's just how things were and we accepted it…" Rick brought a hand to his chin and sighed. "It was my refusal to accept it however that made me stand out."

"Why didn't you accept it?" asked Heidi.

"I was born in 1941, Heidi." Replied Rick. "Two years into the second world war. My earliest memory is of people saying the Nazis were going to win the war and take over the world. I refused to believe the world was going to blow up because I if the Nazis had been defeated, then what was there to assure that the missiles would go off? Besides, in my seventy-one years I've seen more horrifying things than nuclear weaponry."
