In the darkened caves beneath an old and nearly forgotten mansion, sits an old man; watching the news on a massive television screen that virtually expanded from wall to wall. He's watching Channel 14 News with Mindy Carson, and he seems to be especially interested in her latest news story.
"Police accounts indicate that this new super refers to herself as 'Ultra-Kitten', and merely hours before..."
He watched the small snippet in it's entirety. And after it was over, he turned off his colossal television set and stood up from his time-worn chair. He needed to use a cane to help get back onto his feet.
With his finely crafted walking stick in hand, he hobbled over to a large metal tube. A journey that involved him walking past various items of various importances. Weapons, tools, artifacts and trophies were all placed methodically throughout the vast cave structure that seemed to go on for miles. The place looked like a museum and to some people it could even have been regarded as a sanctuary. This was especially the case for the old man that liked to come down here from time to time and seek solace amongst the echoes of the past.
With a wrinkled hand, he pressed a switch on the front of the metal tube. A soft hiss was heard throughout the complex, as half of the cylinder first pushed open then spun around to the back of the tube. The metal structure was a container; and it held the uniform of one of the greatest superheroes to ever live.
Nightfox.
As the old man looked upon the black cape and cowl, he remembered all the battles his costume went through; and all the turmoil it had to endure. And with a soft grin, he said to it...
"Well old friend, it looks like we're back in business."
