“Oh my God, you were fierce!”

Simon opened his eyes to Jordan’s excited and happy face.

“High five, man!” Simon was slumped back in his dining room chair, but he was able to lift his hand weakly and tap Jordan’s upraised palm in response.

“Great job, Simon,” Tanya congratulated. “Move over, Jordan.” She pushed her way over to Simon to take his blood pressure and pulse. “Mmmm, hmmm, wow, lower than before, Simon. Like a twenty-year-old!”

“That was real?”

“Yes, that was you being a superhero, Simon! What do you think of those powers you have? Speed, agility, super jump, mule kick! You beat the crap out of two simulated monsters, and you took the training cues like a real soldier! That was the most amazing simulation I’ve ever seen!”

“Jordan, we need to submit a codename to Celia. She said by tonight. She wants the video, our summary, and a name for him.”

“Whaddya think, Simon? Got a name for yourself?”

Simon thought of his skills. He moved fast and jumped and kicked like a hare. The costume was gray. “Gray Hare,” he offered, feeling his eyes close in exhaustion.

“Gray Hair?” Tanya and Jordan said in unison.

“No, like a rabbit. H-A-R-E,” Simon grumbled, barely audible.

“Gray Hare,” Jordan repeated, lifting his shoulder in a shrug and recording the new name in the email he was composing on his tablet. “Sounds as good as any, Bugs Bunny.” Tanya fake-swatted her husband.

Gray Hare did not comment; he was fast asleep, head slumped on the table.
