Melting Faith

Inspired by the glee cast's version of 'need you now', and Chevelle's song 'Letters from a thief'

MetroMan P.O.V

The explosion rocked the building and sent chunks of building and glass pelting towards me and Roxanne; I covered her before she could be hurt from the blast, but MegaMind and Minion had been in the building still! Why had I chose to tie them up and take Roxanne out of the building first? I was strong enough to take them all out. I turned to the building which was nothing more than rubble now. I listen intently and felt fear freeze my heart as I found no sounds at all, no breathing or anything. Oh god please don't tell me they were dead!

*One Year Later*

I stood there dazed, may be not as much as Minion seemed to be to have me standing in the hall way. The shock contorted his face in a way I'd never seen before on anything's face be it person or animal.

"Breaking and entering is against the law!"

I couldn't think of how to counter that, he was right after all;

"Your alive!"

He frowned but nodded, it wasn't like he could deny it. I mean he had just about ran into me so I knew he was solid so not a apparition.

"Yes I am, what did you think I was a ghost?"

He chuckled as if he had just told me a joke, this wasn't funny! I had wondered if it was them using the funds I'd been tracing-its how I ended up in this house, I'd followed the money and now here was Minion still quite alive.

"Is he still?"

Minion gave me a conniving grin;

"MegaMind? I don't think I have to tell you the answer to that."

If Minion was then yes, yes Mega was alive and well.

"Could I see him?"

Minion frowned lightly; He looked behind himself and sighed;

"Alright but not a word to him, you just want to see him..."

I nodded and allowed him to lead the way, he wandered down the rest of the hallway, a nice window at the end letting in cheery sunlight, and Minion opened the door on the right; MegaMind was sitting at a desk with papers and books everywhere, the sunlight streaming in the office too, He was bowed over deep in study. He looked adorable with the pencil between his slender fingers, and his foot jangling, and legs crossed. I wondered when he had become so attractive, wait did I just think that? I felt Minion tug at my sleeve and I wanted to tell him no, that I had thought I was the death of him and a few moments staring at him wasn't enough for me. I wanted to wrap my arms around him;

"Minion why are you lurking at the doorway?"

He turned and froze as our eyes locked;

"Hey."

Not my smoothest moment, but what could I say after having thought he was dead for so long?

"Wha? How the hell did you find us?"

I felt my Adams apple bob, what did I tell him? I had looked high and low, tracking his funds when I found out that he owned a few shell corporations. Using his real name would throw a lot of people off, After all how many people knew his name was Siler Warden? How many people knew that the warden had adopted him? How many people knew that he still used his name after all?

"I followed up on some leads, I...I."

I rushed forward and wrapped my arms around him and pulled him close to me. He spluttered and his arms pushed against my chest, I just couldn't believe how relieved I was to see him alive! This was too much, I was overwhelmed by the sight of him;

"Oh god I thought you were dead! Why did you fake your death?"

He sighed and stilled against me;

"To get away from my life...or rather my nonexistent life. I was nothing more than a villain to everyone all my life. I just wanted to be something else."
