Chapter 20: All Good Things Must End

Megamind had been relieved when Wayne had shown up only a few hours after he'd called. It took a full day of readying news channels, and talking with the Senate, but he'd managed to earn his place as hero.

He didn't initially expect the proceedings to happen so quickly.

And of course many of the news reporters had lewd and indecent questions for him. Anything ranging from "Why do you want to be a hero?" to "Do you probe people?"

Were they serious? Yes. Yes they were. Just because he wore spandex, and some protective covering- didn't mean that he had- those...things! But it didn't matter. He wasn't going to drop his pants every time someone wanted proof.

He was still healing from his battle with Titan, but he couldn't wait to get to Roxanne. Having arrived at the Hospital a day after she'd been admitted he was stunned to find that she was unconscious. The Doctors had assured him that she was perfectly fine, and woke up for meals and such- but it made him nervous. So he'd asked Minion to stay with her when he couldn't be there.

The elevator opened and he slid out into the cool hall. It was quiet as it often was around this time of night. He passed several doors, a few of them open with patients asleep in their bed's and T.V.'s left on displaying different channels.

Hospitals always made him feel comfortable for some reason. Speaking to Nurse Laycee, who was the nurse in charge of Roxanne, had told him that many people had felt differently about hospitals. No one had ever told her that they had felt comfortable before. Apparently everyone usually had a feeling of foreboding upon entering a hospital.

Megamind was confused on this. He just enjoyed the efficiency of the workers. Perhaps it was a bit cold temperature wise for his tastes, but they were doing an admirable job of fixing his Roxanne, and he couldn't wait for her to wake so that she could talk with him.

He yawned. Drat. He was tired again. He'd have to drink two tripple expressos. Maybe he could get one before going to see her. But he didn't want to go back onto the elevator, it would take about two point seven minutes to ride the elevator down to the ground level, where the kitchens were located. Then about eight point four minutes to stand in line and argue with the other tired and annoyed family members wanting soupy hospital coffee. The stuff was terrible tasting and not anywhere near as sweet as he wanted.

But it did keep him awake. And with the city in a frenzy over their designated 'new' hero, he'd need it. He didn't want to sleep in case some new news came up about Roxanne's condition. She was fine. She was fine, fine...and yet he was worried anyway.

Approaching her door, he was waved over to the nurses station by Laycee who'd seen him approach.

"Megamind, Dear!" She said, "Roxanne woke up! Just a few minutes ago, and I helped her get more comfortable. I thought I'd tell you rather than wake up that sweet fishy friend of yours. He's so tired! I just couldn't wake him up, so I've been checking in on her every hour. And about twenty-five minutes ago she buzzed for me. So she may still be awake, here's the charts you requested. Detailed descriptions of each check up for each hour for the past five hours. And I'm sure your fish friend has the others. Well..."she paused as if giving him a good look over.

"Sweety, you look terrible. You should sleep. But I know young love- you think you've got plenty of time to sleep when your old. Think that the love will keep you pumping, and all that."

"Yes. That's right. I appreciate you taking time to do this, I left Minion here to take care of the updates, I didn't want to take up any of the staff's time." he laughed.

"Well, I've nothing better to do. Its my job to take care of people after all." she handed the papers to him and he took the legal pad graciously. Glancing down to observe her writing. Detailed was right;

6:27 Roxanne had a visitor from work, and a call from her family at the same time. I didn't want to disturb her so I politely asked the family to call back and for the visitor to make the visit 'brief.'

7:14 pm Roxanne is sleeping soundly, she woke up briefly to eat soup and broccoli with ice tea. Tried to prop her up into a sitting position, but she fell asleep before we could manage. Nurse Maley was able to give her a bath.

8:29 pm Roxanne woke up briefly trying to turn on her side. Heard a yell and went to check on her. Tried to get her into a sitting position, she grumbled something about Megamind and fell asleep again. Fish boy was worried and wanted to contact Megamind, the doctor assured him that she was completely fine and did not hurt her injuries more. I managed to calm the fish boy down, at 8:57 pm I checked on him and he was asleep again.

9:34 Roxanne did not wake up this hour, and fish boy is sleeping soundly in his water helmet.

10:59Roxanne woke up and buzzed me into the room. I was able to get her to drink a glass of water and talk for about half an hour while I cleaned her up to make her more comfortable.

Megamind chuckled at the nurse having called Minion 'Fish boy' and calling his tank a helmet. He rather liked the idea. Minion with a helmet. He was a hero too after all, he'd helped them so much in the battle against Titan. Glanced up to Laycee who was dallying up pills into small clear box containers, he smiled and was relieved to know that this woman, a normal citizen of Metrocity was so attentive in her caring of Roxanne.

"Nurse Laycee, thank you so much for looking after her. I'm glad she has someone to talk to. And I appreciate you taking care of Minion, he's a great friend."

"Oh? Minion...OH! Oh. The fish boy, yes oh- he's a sweet heart. I was just talking to him about my daughter- she's in college you know. Graduating in a little over two months." The woman's eyes danced and her chest puffed up all big and proud, happy to relay the information.

"Yes, I remember something like that the other day, the animator right?" He encouraged.

"Yup. Gonna make it big some day. You know she's a huge fan, been watching you since you were 'bad'. Found you so entertaining- always said you should be a movie star, something about the right kind of 'flare' for stage acting and whatnot. She's so talented, though I'll never be able to sit through one of those movies. My little son-her brother- loves them but I swear I fall asleep." Her face lost a little of its enthusiasm.

"I tried to tell her I'd try, but cartoons just arn't for me. Never watched them as a kid. But she'll go places. She gets it every time she sets her mind to it! I'm so proud of- and listen to me- goin' on and on! Go check on your honey, oh and here Megamind." Laycee reached behind her desk and pulled out a large white styrofoam cup with a plastic lid. "Triple expresso right? Its still hot. Try not to work too hard, hero." she handed him the cup.

Megamind's eyebrows shot up. Well. "I'll just go see how she is then, thanks very much for the updates and the expresso, you've saved me a trip Laycee." He vowed to get her daughters name so that he could go and see every movie the girl would be involved with in the future. If she was anything like her mother boasted about- she was also a sweetheart.

Megamind quietly opened the door and stepping inside he closed it so as not to disturb his sleeping love. She was sleeping then. He tried not to sound disappointed. Well, it was late and she was healing still.

He rubbed his chest. His healing was still going on as well. Though the bones in his face were almost completely mended, his ribs still had a few days. And the fact that he had just jumped into the 'hero' role without sleeping and still worrying about Roxanne...well it wasn't doing too much for his body. He walked up to the bed which contained the one thing in the world which had pulled him so completely away from the darkness and starred.

She was breathtakingly beautiful. Her face was mending nicely, it was turning yellow and her eye was less swollen. Her left arm was in a sling gently laid across her stomach, and her hair was freshly washed and brushed. He reached out to brush her hair across her eyes like he'd watched her do over the past twelve or so years.

And he lowered him self into the surprisingly soft cushioned chair next to Roxanne. He gingerly reached out and held her hand, leaning back against the chair he began to do what he'd grown comfortable doing for the past few evenings. He talked to her. Told her what was on his mind. His fears, hopes, dreams. Anything-everything. Just to be able to be with her made him happier than he ever thought would be possible.

"Being a hero will be tough. Tougher than being a villain, Roxanne." he surmised. Mostly because he'd have to stop the truly terrifying ev-vil doers. His 'Ev-vil' was nothing compared to the ev-vil of others. "Growing up in a prison...I've been able to see all kinds. I've heard stories- things that kept me up nights trying to find a way to prevent such acts from ever happening again. One of the men who stayed one cell block over from my own cell, terrified me. He wasn't even allowed out during 'free time' he was in for abducting young boys and doing terrible things to them. He'd lure them in and- Roxanne-" he paused for a moment not sure how to continue.

"He would torture children. I can't be sure if I'll be able to deal properly with someone like that…I'm not sure how to. Not to mention the kinds of villains who enjoy harming women. And if you're with me- you will be an easy target. I just don't know what to do. Its all so overwhelming...and I'm worried about...yawn...the pushy public talking about u-yawn-you know?"

His eyes were drifting, and he tried to open them. He took a long swig of the expresso. Then sat the drink down to look at Roxanne. His eyes drooped again, and he sat up straighter. It didn't seem to be working as the exhaustion won over its battle against the alien. He closed his eyes.

"Just for a few minutes." he promised himself.

Megamind jolted up from where he was sitting, looking around. What time was it? Did he fall asleep for to long?

"Roxanne, Minion?" He stumbled and pushed his hands out in front of himself, catching on a door. The darkness seemed to bleed away to reveal a room, it was yellow. A pale and happy yellow. With large white Daisies on the walls. He blinked and as soon as he did the room was full. A dresser of white trim with matching yellow doors. A twin bed that had a warn but freshly cleaned quilt of flowers laid atop it. There was nothing else in the room, except a small girl sitting in the center of the bed.

She had familiar blue eyes. Her hair was a few shades of brown, and she wore a curious smile. Her outfit consisted of a simple pink soft cotton pajama two piece, her feet bare.

"Who are you?" the little girl asked.

"Um, I-Im...Megamind." he cautiously leaned down to the ground on one knee, so as not to upset her. Though she hardly looked bothered by the big-headed blue alien who had suddenly popped into her room.

"Why are you in my dream Megamind?" Her feet began to sway back and forth in a curious manner.

"I-I'm not sure. I was asleep and now here I am. I think this is my dream, but it could be possible that we are sharing a dream together. Does that bother you?"

"No. Why are you blue?" the question was not meant to offend, it was simply a question from a curious child, and her honesty and bluntness made him smile.

"I'm not from Earth. I landed here when I was a baby, my planet was sucked into a black hole and my parents sent me to Earth hoping I'd be safe." he sat down on the carpeted floor of the girls bedroom, crossing his legs indian-style.

"Oh. Whats a black hole?"

"No one is really sure but the theory goes that its something that happens to a star once its life has ended. It becomes a supernova, and then collapses in on itself forming a black hole. Black holes theoretically hold no life." Megamind looked down as he said this.

"So, are you all alone? You don't have anyone else who's blue?" The girl placed her arms behind her back and she leaned down towards him, a look of sadness crossing over her small features.

"No one else, I'm it. I do have my fish, and best friend Minion, and recently- a new friend." He smiled thinking of Roxanne.

"Would you like to be my friend?" The child had slid off of the bed and was in front of him now, coming to rest on her knees. Her right hand offered.

Megamind reached out tentatively to take her small hand. She wrapped her fingers around his and shook.

"Hello, my name is Roxanne Ritchi. Its nice to meet you and I hope to become a very good friend." she smiled a wide happy grin.

His eyes widened. Was this really Roxanne? As a child. She'd mentioned talking with him when he was still locked away in the labs of the government during a few of her dreams. So was this the Roxanne of that Syx's world?

"My-my real name isn't Megamind. I feel you should know what my parents nickname for me was, though its not my real name, I don't know that."

"Oh, I thought it was funny that your name was Megamind. That's silly. What did they call you? My parents call me Toodle Bug or sometimes just Toodle. I don't like it though. But oh well."

Megamind laughed. 'Toodle Bug' huh? Oh Roxanne... "They called me Bubsy. So I feel ya on the name meter. But its all I have of my home, so I've grown attached to it in a way." he smiled warmly at her.

Roxanne giggled. "Bubsy? It's not so bad. I like it more than Megamind. Are you like Batman?" she asked suddenly.

"Batman? Why would you think that?"

"Because he's a hero, and he wears a cape like yours. Only it's black bat wings."

Sort of, I am a hero. But I fight villains with my De-Gun, and smarts" he replied pointing to his head.

"Degun? Aren't guns bad?" her eyes were drooping.

"Its not really a gun. Though it has settings for DE-Stroy and- anyway. I mostly use the DE-Hydrate setting. It turns people into blue cubes so that I can safely transport them to jail. They can turn back once water is added to the cube."

"Won't you forget sometimes? To turn the bad people back?" she rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"No, I never forget anything. Mostly. Its because of my big brain. I can remember a lot."

"Thats awesome. Do you protect everything?" she asked climbing onto her bed and covering up.

"Yes." he answered following to tuck her in.

"Thats great, dont forget to protect me, Bubsy." she yawned again.

"I promise I wont." he smiled.

"Bubsy..." she grabbed his hand, here eyes closed.

"Yes?"

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Roxanne."

The room slowly shifted into darkness.

"Good morning, Miss Ritchi!"

Roxanne was greeted brightly by the ichthyoid as soon as her eyelids had drifted awake. It was rather early. 5:17am, the T.V. relaid.

"Minion,ahem..sorry. Could you-?" she scratched out pointing to the pitcher of ice water.

"Of course." he happily poured her a cup and stood by to make sure she wanted no more after she'd drank half of said cup.

"Ohhh...thats what I needed. Thanks Minion." Roxanne's eyes closed in pure bliss. She glanced around then, more awake now and found her beau resting and looking rather uncomfortable in the cushioned chair next to her bed, a hospital blanket around him.

"Sir's been here since late last night, the nurse didn't want to wake him and I woke up a few hours ago...there hasn't been much going on in the city today and I didn't want to wake him. He hasn't gotten much sleep in the past few days."

"Was it because of the city? What are they running him down for?" Roxanne wondered.

"Well the city is part of it, he needs to make sure that he can gain the trust of the citizens. Without acceptance from everyone-or mostly everyone- he won't be able to protect them. But his main reason isn't the City Miss Ritchi. Its you." Roxanne starred politely waiting for the fish to continue. "He's worried about you. Even though your healing so well. He believes its his fault for what happened with Titan."

"Thats stupid. He didn't force me to go and try to talk to Hal. Yes he did create him and that was a dumb idea. I'm sorry- but it was. It doesn't mean that what happened with me was his fault. He can't take the full blame, some of it was my own foolishness. I really thought I could try and reason with Hal." she sighed.

"I know Miss Ritchi, but he'll never listen. He created the thing that harmed you, and he will never forgive himself." Minion looked away.

"I'll have to talk with him about that when he wakes up. But for now, I need to call the Nurse." She reached down and pushed the buzzer. A few moments after that Laycee appeared carrying a clear, and fresh new catheter bag.

"Hello, you all are up bright and early! Roxanne, time to change your-ur..." she looked over to Minion and then back at Roxanne and did an awkward gesture.

"Its okay...I just didn't want...um...well anyways, what did the Doctor say?" she looked up hopefully.

"I'm sorry, he said that until you can walk without pain, he'd have to insist on the 'bag'." Laycee approached the bed and reaching down she replaced her bag and re-hid it into the pocket underneath. Adjusting the bed sheets as she did so. And taking the bag to a close by storage bin, with markings on it.

"Well, lets start out with breakfast? I'll have it ordered for you- whatever you want. Bacon and eggs? Biscuits with gravy? Do you feel like your cheek can handle solid foods today?"

"I'd like to try, I'm sick of soup. Bacon and eggs sound heavenly, with the biscuits. Yes please." she could feel her stomach grumble and her mouth water in anticipation.

"Alrighty, it'll be here within the hour, oh and would you like me to get the Nurse for your bath, or would you rather wait until after noon, seeing as my shift will be over in a few hours?" she asked pausing a few steps from the door.

"Noon would be best. Thanks so much."

"Of course, and Minion, would you like something also? I'll order double for Roxanne and Megamind, but would you like your usual Bacon?" she paused again to ask.

"That would be excellent, Miss Laycee."

"Okie Dokie, be back in a jiff!" she hopped out the door.

"She's so nice." Roxanne commented absently as she leaned back heavily against her fluff starchy pillows.

And glanced down at the IV in her left hand. She must look a fright. Laycee had helped her freshen up last evening, but she was sure she looked terrible again. She glanced around and spotted the mirror she had used, and picking it up she proceeded to straighten up.

Minion and her conversed for the next hour or so about the news and how it was dealing with Megamind's new image. Minion was right, many of the people of Metro City were skeptic. Most didn't expect his enthusiasm to last. But there were also a fair amount who's believed that he really had changed and they were expecting great things from him.

She was siding with those people. Because he really was a sweet person. How he'd managed to convince people the complete opposite- she'd never know.

It was a while later when Megamind started talking in his sleep.

Minion looked over to his friend who was mumbling something.

Roxanne glanced too, having heard the noises.

"Is it a bad dream?" she asked.

"Dunno... I'll try and wake him.

"Sir? Sir! Are you okay? Sir-" Minion's voice pulled Megamind out of the deep abyss of sleep, and he opened his eyes groggily.

"What-Minion? What time is it?" he asked sitting up rubbing his eyes.

"Almost seven Sir." the fish replied.

"SEVEN! Oh, no!" the city, it had no one to protect it! He was usually out of the hospital by five!

"Sir, Relax. I'm going to continue patrolling, without you." Minion stated,and it took the slowly awakening alien a moment to process his words.

"What? Why?"

"Because, Miss Ritchi is awake, and you need to rest, Sir."

Roxanne.

He stood and pushed Minion out of his way to reveal a tired looking but clearly awake reporter. She had a breakfast trey over her lap. Half of its contents already gone.

"Roxanne-" he leaned down to hold her, trying to be gentle in his enthusiasm, but he wanted to hug her so badly he fairly shook with it.

"Thanks Minion, I'll follow in a little while." He looked up at the ichthyoid who nodded.

"Of course, if I need you while I'm out I'll just reach you on the watch. Not much has happened today anyways. The bots haven't reported anything out of the ordinary." He turned to Roxanne, "Well, I hope you continue to feel better Miss Ritchi."

"Thank you Minion." Roxanne reached out her hand to hold onto his robotic one, and the fish if he could blush at such a simple display of approval, would have.

"Y-yes, well. Ha ha, you know...anyways just call me if you need me Sir." He said and bowed out.

"Roxanne, how are you feeling?" Megamind asked sitting on the edge of the bed and stroking her cheek.

"I'm fine. Feeling better every time I open my eyes. More so now that you're here." She reached up to touch his face with her good hand.

"I'm so relieved that you're okay." his other hand moved to stroke hers, holding it to his face. "Roxanne, I just had the most interesting dream."

"About what? I didn't dream anything since- well... you know." she blushed prettily and looked away before refocusing on his bright green eyes.

"Oh, I know somethings now...toodle bug."

"How did you-" her eyes were huge.

"You. I was with you. But not you. The you from Syx's dimension I think you were small. Maybe five or six? You weren't afraid of me in the least."

"Well, I guess we're even then? Bubsy and Toodle Bug...what a pair we make." Roxanne lauged, then winced as she felt the hardness of her cheek pull her into reality with a dull ache.

"Does it hurt much?" his expression was full of concern.

"What about you, you cant be fully healed?" she reached out to poke him playfully, but pulled back when he let a painful whoosh of air escape his lips.

"Not quite. Still mending the ribs. Maybe completely healed by this time next week. Bones always take longer." he shrugged it away.

"Do you think that everything is going to work out okay, Megs?"

He wasn't sure if she was talking about him becoming the new Hero of Metrocity, or if she was talking about their future. So he was unsure of how to answer.

"I don't know. I cant be certain of the future for any of us. But I can promise that I will do my best to try and be a good Hero for Metrocity." he said, and then lower and shyly looking away, "A-and a good man...for you."

"You wont have to try too hard." she leaned in to kiss him.

The opening day of the Megamind Museum Roxanne was nervous and couldn't eat breakfast. She'd tried to down ten different meals, tried to make several snacks instead- and nothing seemed to work. She'd been sick for the past few days and had chalked it up to excitement. But a friend had informed her otherwise.

It had been six months since the battle with Titan, and everything was working out great. She'd never been so happy. Sure there were a few moments when things were rocky. Especially when she would go over to the Lair to visit with Minion, she'd accidentally walked into Megamind's work area without protective gear on.

And he'd been working with materials that had caused her to become seriously ill. She'd been forbidden entrance into any of the Lair until he could fix it.

She hadn't meant to make more work for him, just wanted to spend some time with him. She didn't know that he was working with such kinds of materials. And they'd argued at which point he'd broken down and admitted that she could've died. It was her fault though and she had felt terrible...they made up for more than a few hours that night.

Roxanne smiled remembering how scared he'd been.

Her shoulder was back to its almost normal routine,some days it would ache a little and on those days she'd just take over the counter pain meds to help her get through the day. The rest of her had been healing at an amazingly fast pace considering how bad her back had been.

Megamind had made her some sort of pill, that she was reluctant to try at first, but it had seemed to help her heal faster. He had told her that it contained some of his gene structure only after she'd swallowed it.

'Megamind flavored medicine...' she had joked with him. But it had seemed to be working. She had asked if he would make it for other things. But it was impossible. He'd have to destroy himself to save everyone in the world of illness. He wasn't sure how long the pill would last her, but so far she was almost completely healed.

And now after half a year of him being a Hero, the city had wanted to honor his bravery and good will by offering him his own Museum right where Metro Man's had been. She had chosen the blue dress that he'd bought for her some time ago, when he was masquerading as Bernard.

Why should she let the dress stay stale in her closet? He'd told her that the money he used was legitimately his. Not stolen. He'd never stolen money from anyone. That apparently was the only thing he had in abundant supply. Due to the patients he'd placed on some of his more 'domestic' inventions.

She would have to investigate more on that matter, just what kinds of inventions of his were in anyway 'domestic'? Shaking her head she looked at herself in the mirror in her bathroom one more time.

"You look beautiful." Megamind's voice drifted behind her. She turned sharply to see him stepping into her living room.

"Oh. You scared me." she laughed her hand over her heart.

He came to her kissing her on the cheek. "Well you look amazing, really. I always knew that blue was your perfect color."

"Oh, you just couldn't wait for me to slide back into your color." she teased.

He smiled and leaned in, "Maybe but I like you out of my colors just the same."

"Do you think we have time?" she challenged.

"No. But, I suppose we can be fashionably late." he hissed into her pushing her against the wall of her bathroom, lifting her thighs to wrap around his small waist. His body grinding into her.

"Megamind, we should go then..." should she tell him now?

"Please, just a few...seconds..." he released himself, slid her panties down, leaving them hanging on one foot, and he pushed up and into her. His tongue swirling against her neck, he pulled out and pushed into her quickly. She held onto his shoulders pulling his neck to her, so that he could suck on her all he wanted. Their reflection stared back at her from the mirror on the opposite wall, and it pleased her to see him working her so well.

She reached between them to rub herself and his cock at the same time. Working the small tip of her body so that she could enjoy release with him. He freed a hand to slide over hers, making her stroke herself faster, harder. She could feel the building heat within her, as he stroked inside of her body faster and faster until she had not other choice but to let go.

"Megamind! Megs..." she screamed for him. And his hand pushed against her hard still rubbing while her muscles contracted around his cock.

"Roxanne..how do you do this to me-? Rox-Gah!" she could feel him bite his lower lip against her neck, as he pushed hard into her body, his cock twitching, she squeezed her muscles as tight as she could to hold him as he shuddered. But there was no cum to fill her with this time. She looked down between them. He was wearing a condom. Well...it was a nice thought, but a little late in the game. She smiled.

A few moments passed before he reached down to pull himself free of her, making sure the condom went with him. He cleaned them up, taking a rather long time on Roxanne, who insisted she could do it herself.

"But I like doing this for you..." he pouted.

"Megamind. We're going to be late for sure now." she was teasing as she righted her clothes, and put on a fresh pair of panties. "I don't know how this dress was untouched by...well." She smiled.

"I'm good like that."he gloated.

"Did you bring the hover bike?"

"Yes mam. As requested. C'mon we'll have to go fast if we want to just make it!" he scooped her up and hopped onto the bike. She yelled out surprised that he still had so much energy, and held onto him tightly as he revved the engine and took off flying down the side of her apartment building.

"AH! You're doing this on purpose!" she yelled laughing and holding on tighter.

"Maybe." he commented.

"You pervert!" she tried to slap at him, but he swerved the bike, and she had no choice but to grab him to keep steady. He laughed merrily and flew faster.

They arrived behind the museum curtain, a few minutes late. Megamind heard the end of the mayors speech and he quickly jumped off of his hover bike, Roxanne running around the side of the large blue curtain. He pulled out his De-Gun and fired a single shot at the white brick wall before him. A giant hole exploded and he walked through, to see the whole of Metocity was here.

"All right, put your hands in the air!" he smiled. And the crowd went wild obeying his order, hands flying up to cheer for him. "Now hand over your wallets!"

Almost instantly a look of confusion fell on the faces of the Citizens and their hands lowered.

"I'm just joking! I'm joking! Ha, ha ha!" he laughed, and Roxanne jumped into his arms surprising him with a hug, and she slipped onto him the first cape Metro Man had ever worn. "He gave it to you?" he asked in stunned stupor.

"No, he gave it to you. As a welcome to the business gift. You're an official hero. You know, you look pretty good in white." she smiled, and he puffed up proudly making her laugh.

"I don't think the day can get any better than this!" he surmised.

"Oh. I have a surprise for you!" she said turning to him, and with the crowd cheering in front of them, and the giant blue curtain falling to the ground behind them, Roxanne leaned in to whisper something in his ear.

"I'm pregnant."

His eyes widened and he sucked in a surprised breath, apparently to fast, for he felt a dark void swoop down on him and hit him in the face with a frying pan.

"Megamind!" Roxanne was startled when her blue boyfriend turned a light shade of grey and fell to the ground, she tried to catch him, but his sudden weight was to much and she'd only caught half of him. Luckily it was the upper half, and he'd sustained no real damage.

"Minion!" she called the fish. Who ran over to them in the giant robot body.

"Oh, Sir! What happened?" the ichthyoid questioned looking at Roxanne who was giggling, and then she burst out laughing in a sort of mad way. "Miss Ritchi?"

"Rox..anne?" the hero asked weakly from his position on her lap. What were they doing on the ground? He thought for a moment as she stroked his head, he could hear people in the crowd murmuring. Then it hit him! ROXANNE WAS-

He looked up at her,eyes wide in fear. "You're? Preg-preg-preg-"

"Yes. We're going to be parents."

"AH!" Minion screamed, then laughed and congratulated them. "Oh, Sir-Miss Ritchi! That's wonderful!"

"Wonderful...a child...I never thought it was possib...Roxanne." he reached out to touch her stomach. "We're going to have a baby?"

She shook her head happily. "Your going to be a daddy." he pulled her down to kiss him, and the crowd not sure of what exactly was happening saw that their Hero was okay, they cheered.

The big-headed blue alien Hero had never thought that he would ever be quite as happy as he was this day. And he vowed to work as hard as he could to be a great father, and the perfect Hero that Metrocity deserved.

THE END!

And yes- just so you have a clear conscious, Megamind DID thank Carlos properly! Paid for the man's schooling outright! What a gift! :D No student loans for him! And he also went to see Laycee's daughters movies- everyone of them! What a HERO!

Sorry it took a while to get out, I had some problems with school work. :/

And yes, I know- Roxanne preggo? So soon- but its my 1/2 AU so poo! Besides- you didn't think they were gonna get away with all that naughty fun time with no condoms and just have NO repercussions... or well- surprises? Lets be realistic here! . er in a fanfic...you know what I mean! .

I'd like to thank everyone who's taken time to read this, what started out as an idea and possible one shot has evolved into a full 20 chapters of WOW!

To further thank everyone, Megamind has asked me to deliver a present to you! Please check on my DA, it'll be on the front page! :) There is a link on my profile!

Chapter one of Syx's AU will be up in a few days! I hope that you will all consider reading the first chapter as I have some interesting surprises in store for our lovely little Syx.

Thank you again for reading Temptress!

Final comments make me so happy please leave them, to let me know if you liked/hated/were annoyed by the story! :D
