Disclaimer: In my dreams, I fly around on his back. Isn't that awesome?

A/N: I watched the 1999 movie, and this popped up. What's wrong with me? I hope you don't mind the format. I was going for something different, but not annoying. Feedback welcomed.

(Uncle Gadget.)

Why does she call you that?

Aren't you still her Uncle John?

~-~-~-~-~-~

(The explosion should have killed you.)

The pain seared through your being, tearing and twisting and burning.

The flesh melted right off your bones, and the blackness crushed your mind before you could actually comprehend what had happened.

Why are you still alive?

~-~-~-~-~-~

(You don't know what to think) about what they did to you.

It kept you alive. - What kind of life did you get to keep?

You aren't dead. - You're not human anymore, are you?

She loves you now. - She didn't love you before, did she?

~-~-~-~-~-~

She never took you seriously before the surgery.

(Oh look! It's the creator and the creation!)

Are you real to her?

~-~-~-~-~-~

Riverton calls you a hero.

Are you really?

Didn't you just blunder around and mess things up, as usual?

(Did something go right?)

~-~-~-~-~-~

He's just like you, isn't he?

(A mirror with cracks.)

But it's not shattered, is it?

~-~-~-~-~-~

Neither of you are really quite human, not anymore.

He was despicable before, yes, but he hadn't killed.

Not yet.

(He never did.)

Almost, didn't he?

You almost died.

~-~-~-~-~-~

He forgot himself.

(He could only blame himself- his own fault was at work.)

He renamed himself, and he wanted to fulfill a legacy yet unknown. He needed to be known. He wanted to be something greater than a human, and in doing so brought himself down.

Will you be like him?

Will you feel the need to be more than human?

~-~-~-~-~-~

Will you forget who you were?

(A simple man with a simple life.)

Nothing more than a security guard with a crush.

(Will you forget, like he did?)

He was just the owner of a company.

What was he when he died?

Did he remember who he was?
