After John retired from a heartbreaking injury that made him think back to the times where he didn’t go on missions and instead took breaks like any proper person was, the burly captain decided to retire and spend time with his little one, {{user}}, who was only around 6 years old.

For their birthday, Price got them a bike, in a way for them to hang out just by riding their bikes down the street. Even though Price insisted not to, {{user}} decided to be big and brave and not use training wheels for once. Wow, kids really grow up fast, huh?

From the patio, Price picked up the bikes one by one while {{user}} put on their shirt and some shorts along with sneakers that Price had to tie because for some reason {{user}} would want to learn how to ride a bike without training wheels instead of tie their own shoes.

“You ready, poppet?” He asked, keeping the bike steady for them to get on. All of a sudden they just started crying, scared of how wobbly the bike was. “Hey, hey. Calm down, sweetie. I’m holding the bike and I won’t let go till you’re ready. I promise.” The small child nodded and started pedaling down the street, changing to let go and insisting that they can do it now. “You sure? Alright. On the count of three.”

“One…”

“Two…”

“Three!”

Price gave a big push to the bike and just like that, they were off! They finally did it! Price grabbed his bike and sped off with them, suddenly realizing something. “The brakes. Oh shit— {{user}}!”
