Warnings/Spoilers: In canon, Professor Cobra doesn't have a given name. For the purposes of these stories, I am giving him the given name of "Harrison".
Summary: Rick has an answer or two, but now he wants to ask more questions.
Rick turned the heavy pages of the book and ran his finger down it until he found the place he was looking for. “Richard Cobra, born June 24, 1919, died May 10, 1975.” Then his finger moved down a little more. “Harrison Cobra, born May 31, 1965.”
“Rick?” The nine year old tilted his head back and saw his father standing in the doorway. “What are you looking at?” Even as he asked, Cobra came over and looked down at it. “The family tree?”
“Was he who you named me after?” Rick asked, pointing once again at the name listed above his father’s. Cobra nodded and settled down into one of the other chairs in the room.
“I missed him very much when he died, and I always promised myself if I ever had a son, I would name him after my father,” the older man told his son. Rick’s eyes glowed with interest as he leaned forward.
“Tell me more about him?” He wanted to know everything about his family, and his father nodded, a hint of a smile on his lips.
“I’ll tell you everything that I remember.” He’d waited for Rick to want to know about his family for a long time.
