(( Well I had this idea for a long time. What happens to heroes that retire? Working a full Job and Fighting crime can't be good on ones heath or retirement funds.
So here's the Idea the City of Paragon has a Retirement home and long term recovery center for Heroes that are no longer active. Not all the Hero's at the Golden age are old some have suffered wounds that took them out of the fight. An example is High speed aka John Feris a Scrapper who was captured by a group of carnies and mentally tortured to the point his mind snapped.
So bring on your ideas all heroes are welcomed at the Golden age. Just remember thought the Heroes have retired that don't mean the action has stopped.))

Golden age basic info
The Golden age Home is located in Talos Island. It's in walking distance of the Green Line train station and Wentworth.
The Building has just been upgraded with Architect Entertainment systems. The reason is so there can be Holographic medical aid on site 24/7. As well as a Holographic recovery/gym room.
There's a cafeteria for social dining and a large group living room. All private quarters are fully functional with there own kitchens and private baths.
There is also an Olympic-size swimming pool. For physical therapy and exercise.
(Anything else you can think of is gladly added! Edited to add the Pool!)

Justin Fairbanks a 43 yearold man was on his way back from a checkup at the Cygnus Medical Center. He couldn't help but grumble at the news. His lungs were still not healing to much cellular damage. Sighing he rubbed his chest it was unfair he was a hero once saving the world now just an old man walking with a cane before his time.
It wasn't some super villain that ended his crime fighting days. It was his powers one to many times turning invisible and phasing. The over use of phasing caused some of his cells to stay Phased the condition is now known as phase lock.
"HELP!" He turned hearing the scream and saw a woman among a group of Tsoos. He adjusts his hat and started walking down the alley picking up his gentleman's Sword cane . He pulled the hidden sword out and held it in his right hand as he held the cane/sheath in the left.
"Unhand that lady! By Honor and Virtue surrender or fall by the hand of the Phantom Gentleman." He couldn't help himself he had to use his old battle line.
The Tsoos looked at each other and laughed. "Give it up old man." The Sorcerer summoned up a hurricane as the two others charged at him.
He smirked even when they used there kinetic powers he was to skilled his blade and cane struck with speed and grace. As soon as the Sorcerer tried to heal them he attacked the Sorcerer sending him down first. Then he finished off the others.
"Thank you... You said you were the Phantom Gentleman right?" The woman said smiling. "That who I was yes I'm... retired now but I could never turn my back on a Lady in trouble." Mentally he added 'I failed once never again'
"HELLO DOWN THERE" a costumed hero landed dressed in a Red write and blue outfit with flowing cape. "Well I heard someone call for help but I see that I'm a bit late."
Justin smiled "you can clean up I don't have arrest tags. Now if you excuse me." He hurried out replacing the sword in the sheath/cane and turned the corner. Then he leaned against the wall gripping his chest fighting the pain.
Once it was done he hurried for the Golden age retirement home and entered. The moment he entered Florence one of the Holographic nurses appeared. "Justin Fairbanks my scanners indicate you been over exerting yourself." She came over and helped him to a seat. "You know you don't get enough oxygen in your blood for rugged activities."
He looked at her noting the data lines in her eyes showing her true nature as a computer program. "I'm sorry lady Florence there was a group of Tsoos and I can't turn my back on a cry for help."
She huffed "Even if it means your death Mr. Fairbanks?" He smiled "Every Hero that ever lived and will live will say yes to that." Then again mentally he added at least the good ones.
"Well wait here and I get you an oxygen tank." The Hologram faded travel for the program was faster that way then walking.
He looked about at the others in the living room area seeing the poor John Feris sitting in a wheel chair his eyes blank looking at nothing. Justin couldn't help but shake his head trying to imagine the hell the poor man suffering being locked in a nightmare of carnival of shadows creation.
Elsewhere....
Mary 20 yearold woman struggled as she tried to walk using the new cybernetic prosthesis leg. She held herself up on the beams as she moved the leg jerked the wrong way and she collapsed to the ground. The Holonurse Clara moved to her side. "Oh dear your alright Mary? You lasted longer that time you soon get the hang of it."
"I HATE THIS THING!" she lifted her hand and blasted the offending cybernetic leg across the gym with an energy blast. Nearly hitting someone as it flew.
