innitmarvelous_ogThe final day of his career as an Olympian is a gorgeous one for Franky. Johannesburg is the host city for the 2048 Summer Games, and once he's finished his final competition of the Olympiad, Franky is looking forward to seeing some of the city with his family. Now while he waited for the event to start, Franky is reflecting back on his career, which began all the way back in 2036 in Melbourne, Australia.
"Are you ready, son?" Clint asked right before the competition was set to start.
"I'm as ready as I'll ever be, Coach," Franky replied with a wink, "I'm just not sure if I am going to be able to win a medal this time."
To say Franky's career as a Olympian had been golden would be an understatement to say the least as he'd taken home a combined 5 gold medals in the previous three Games he'd competed in. Heck, last time in Los Angeles he'd even won a bronze medal too for good measure.
"You've got this, Franky," Clint encouraged him, "Just remember everything I've tried to teach you and everything else you've learned on your own without your old man."
Franky smiled, and hugged his father, "Thanks, Dad. I love you."
"Love you too, Hawkeye. Go get them!" Clint said, patting his back as he pulled away.
"Will everyone please take their positions? The event is about to begin!" an official called out.
"Well, that's my cue," Franky said, and walked to his assigned area.
Clint nodded, and went to stand where all the other coaches would watch from the sidelines.
Three minutes later, Franky was drawing back his bow string, and aiming for the target.
Twang!
The arrow soared through the air, hitting the center of the target with precision.
"Great shot, Franky!" Clint murmured, "Good way to start this thing!"
Franky continued to loose his arrows with precision, hitting the target almost always dead center. The crowd cheered as he completed each round with a high score. Then as he entered the final round for the gold, Franky faltered in some of his final shots. After his opponent from Japan loosed his final arrow in a spectacular shot, Franky let out a low whistle, and immediately offered the man his congratulations.
"That was an amazing closeout to your career, son!" Clint told him, "I'm so proud of you!"
"Thanks, Dad. The silver isn't quite what I hoped to close out my career with, but Kohaku-san was just better than me today. In fact, he was pretty amazing! I think I need to go congratulate him again! Be back in a moment!"
Clint watched his son walk back over to his opponent, beaming with pride at his son's sportmanship as once more he shook the other man's hand.
