Tales of Harper

Complete Aftermath

Harper was sitting in a meeting that was being held by the American President to talk about the recent uprising of heroes through out the world. The President was talking about how his time was almost up as president and then it occurred to Harper that he wanted to step down as president, and appoint a citizen of Canada as the new president so that way he did not have to be in the office stressing out over the smallest things. Then the conversation shifted into a new one, people with super powers. 

"Nobody has seen or heard from Katrina in the past year since she took over the White House. We have to put these 'gifted' people on lock and key! We can not let them get away with terrorizing  the Citizen's of our countries anymore. We have to register these people into a database so we know each and every one of the potential threats to our government." said the US President," and I know Harper has powers, but he used them for bad, and then good."

Harper woke up at the realization that the President was making a statement about how the people should be treated if they are 'gifted'. He looked up and caught the President's eyes in his face. 

"Mr. President, I want to say that not all of them will turn, I understand the fear on your part, I have fear myself, and I do have powers. With people like Katrina out there, it causes bigger issues. They are hungry for power, so I have an idea. We upgrade the police forces so they can take on people with super speed or fire. They would have to have new tools, or maybe new police suits that can with stand ice and make them no longer able to freeze. With future technology, we can make it to where with a push of a button, they will no longer be able to teleport, and we can simply arrest them, and send them to a jail where they can hold the 'gifted' beings, and if we ever need to, can simply fall back on Superheroes to save the day, and save everyone. I myself have saved this world once, and it was difficult and you never know when our where you will meet the so called 'villain'. If people wanna register, that's fine, but we shouldn't make anyone register." replied Harper. 

The conversation was dropped and Harper had one more thing to tell the committee here to sign the accord. He looked at everyone, the President of Mexico, the reporters, the Military generals, and the President of the United States. 

"I am going to retire as the President of Canada, and I will give the presidency to the last President of Canada. From there, he can decide what he wants to do. I will finally be able to have my own life. I have saved the world, destroyed the world, killed people, and now it is time for me to step back, and start a fresh new life. I do have something for you." announced Harper has he handed out strange devices to the other two presidents, " these are to summon my team if you need us. I know we are smaller than normal, with only two of us, but we can be there 'in a flash."

"We are sad to see you go Harper, but we can definitely use these in the future. With companies making serums to turn people into superheroes, and Katrina on the run, these will come in handy. Enjoy your retirement!" replied the U.S. President, "meeting adjourned."

Harper flew back to the base in Canada, and had the biggest smile on his face. He knew it was time to retire, and he couldn't wait. He had already called ahead and had a press conference scheduled and Canada's last president ready to go. 

A Few Hours Later

Harper walked out of the double doors of the building. and looked at a whole crowd of citizens. He looked back at the former president, who looked at him and mouthed," you got this, you did well protecting this country over the last year" Harper turned and looked at the reporters, and then he looked to his left and looked straight at Taylia. She was smiling and had already announced 6 months earlier that she was ready to make Harper the sole president. Harper turned back around. 

"Good afternoon everyone. We have had so many issues within the last year with villains. I could not have been any more happier to be your front man these past couple of years, but I have decided I am going to step down. When I first took over as President, I was evil, and I was still young. Since then I have died and been reborn. When I came back, I had no idea that Taylia had taken on a new team and I would like to thank her. I would also like to thank Cybil, Cason, and Ebony for helping keep this country safe. In my decision to step down, which has been a long time coming, and was officially announced this morning in a meeting with the U.S. President, I have chosen your former President, Josh Grayson, to be your president. He has agreed to be the next president, and have his second term filled. I am moving on with my life, and I think the 'Age of Harper' is over. I appreciate all of your support over the last few year's, and I hope you guys give Josh the same amount of support. Josh can you please step forward?" announced Harper.

Josh stepped forward and he looked at the crowd. The crowd looked worried because they didn't know what was about to happen. Harper looked at Josh and shook his hand. He then pulled a device out of his pocket. 

"This device is a calling device. If someone threatens this country or attacks the base, we will be there as soon as possible. I promise to keep protecting this would wherever it is needed. So, with a push of the big button, you are calling me and letting me know that you need help and are in danger. Please take this, and do not be afraid to use it." announced Harper.

Josh smiled and turned and walked back behind Harper. He went back to standing behind Harper smiling and standing really still. 

"Any Question's Before I go?" asked Harper. 

"Harper, what do you plan on doing now that your no longer president?" asked a reporter from CNN. 

"Like I said, I want to live my life. I think that if I live it, my life will feel complete, and right now, it feels as if something is missing, so I am going to go 'underground' as they say and live my life. I am in my early 30's and I deserve a life." replied Harper.

"Harper, does every leader in every country get a calling device for when you are needed?" asked a reported from FOX News. 

"Since I am an American Hero, based in America when I first got my villainous start, I gave them to every leader in North America, the leader of Mexico, Juan Holio, and the President of the United States, John Winslow, got one as well. I told them to use them only in case of emergency." replied Harper.

"Harper, do you feel as if another evil man will rise?" asked a reporter from Toronto Star.

"Yes. Where there is light, there is always darkness, so as long as I am standing, and Science Corporations are making serums to create people with abilities, there will always be someone threatening your safety. As long as I am walking on this Earth, there will be a superhero or two that you can always count on. Thank you guys for your questions. Peace out Canada!" replied Harper as he turned and walked back into the building. 

Final Goodbye's

 Harper walked into the building where he was greeted by his staff and friends from his years of being the leader of Canada. In his last 4 years, he took Canada to a new level like United States. He got rid of the Prime Minister and created a democracy for the whole country to strive on.

Ebony was standing there smiling, she had become not only his best friend, but also his chief strategist in the whole party. She was the smartest one in the whole building and she will be missed. Harper grabbed the super hero gun out of a glass case, and set it to remove power's. He shot Ebony with it, and Ebony was no longer able to use her powers. 

Harper then walked up to Tyterose, who was standing there trying not to cry. He looked up at Harper and smiled.

"I am so proud to have served you sir, you went from my boss, to my best friend. Thank you. We will see each other soon." said Tyterose. 

Harper placed his hand on Tyterose's shoulder. He wiped the tears off his face, and kissed him. 

Cason and Cybil were standing next to Tyterose, and they were smiling. They knew it was Harper's turn to live his life, and get everything he deserved. Harper hugged both of them and then stepped back. He made sure the gun was still on removing powers and then he shot at both of them. They were now powerless as well. 

"Thank you all for serving under me, and I can not thank you enough for everything you have done. Please be safe. I will talk to you guys soon!"
