You Rule the World, Ricky!

The Beginning

You might think that superpowers are weird or unnatural to reality, but they are indeed real. Many anecdotes can attest to this. They just become normalized because the human experience doesn't like anything too new and too world shattering, they must calm themselves and ingrain it into their everyday lives.

Which is what here Ricky R. is doing with his life.

He fascinates himself with fashionable jewelry or a nice shiny coat on his car. He stares at the sun a lot, though he wears sunglasses so its all cool. And he keeps himself in constant cool manner. He frequents his sunny beachside town with all its amenities and just looks outside a lot, like a lot a lot. He really likes looking up at the clouds, his most favorite days are when there's nothing but clear blue sky, it makes him feel like he can do almost anything, it makes him want to fly up and look down at everyone in awe. Alas, he does not have this superpower, im sure someone else does, but he feels alone on this.

You see there are other people with superpowers, though mundane and unknown to him. You may or may not find them on the news, they aren't really grand people. unless they are which can be great at times, and worst at best. Where does Ricky stand on that scale? In between I'd say. He's too flashy but at a saturated level, he tries to come out mysterious but maybe he's being genuine. Whatever it may be he is a chosen one for such a incredible superpower such as controlling the weather? We'll have to see.

"What you can control the weather?" He thought people would say, but others would just look at him awkwardly until he got the latte he ordered.

Most than not he's decided against it, keeping it a nice little secret, a thing to keep sacred. Only his friends are the ones he told to, though never demonstrated.

Nickey and eVe are great but they are side characters to this grand scheme. They will soon prove to also be his greatest allies in times of danger. Which will be sometime around now.

If you were anything of a business owner around this place, you'd want to be in the more scenic and saturated places for shops and businesses. Your near a beached out area near little beach houses so you can charge expensive amounts and refuse public use of bathrooms. You were pretty much king of the world if you made it here. Though, if anything bad per say were to happen weather-wise, you would be doomed.

Maybe a gigantic Hurricane ravishes you and its so close that you can kiss not your shop but your whole town goodbye, or a cyclone, or a firenado all in the span of one week. Perhaps strange weather patterns in a row? Well if you didn't know any better this town would just be your famed accursed land, a phenomenon that meteorologists go ga-ga over, still trying to solve and think about all the time, experts love this place, news reporters are on the edge of their seat sweating to see what fresh hell awaits them. Though infrastructure funds havent been getting any better. Well rest assured you can blame that on the one, the only Ricky Ricardo.

After that incident, many people learned about things that day. Mainly Villains and Self-titled vigilantes coming over to his house for some reason. He's not sure why but here's a weird anecdote.

"I went over to his house stead-fast in my wake, not leaving an inch behind, i saw him standing menacingly, almost awaiting my approach. I gasped in surprise by his quickness, so I charged in did my famous rush attack. He looked at me in shock as I grasped him by his shirt.

The valiant overdressed superhero held Ricky up by his shirt collar.

"W-what, who are you, man?" Ricky said.

"I'm your greatest nightmare, Crush Rush! Im from the next states Bay Area." 

"What did I not pay for my order, are you the IRS or something?"
