No one belongs to me, except for the main villain and the Commissioner.
It was a clear and bright day in Metro City, but it wasn't as bright in the "former" evil lair of the city's new hero, Megamind, who was pacing with his hands behind his back as he was behind his best friend, who was typing on the main computer as the leather boots of his master was echoing through the halls a couple of brain-bots flew by and his patience was wearing thin. "How long is this going to take?" He cried, throwing his black, leather, gloved hands in the air.
"Um," the fish in a tank of a mechanical gorilla suit began as he turned over his shoulder, "it's loading, sir."
Megamind groaned in annoyance as he clenched his hands.
"Oh, here it is," the fish cried happily.
The blue alien jumped behind his friend, peering over his furry shoulder. "What is it?" He asked eagerly. "What are the results?"
Minion then looked at him with sad brown eyes. "I'm sorry, sir. Yours and Roxanne's DNA are too different."
"Meaning?" He asked, trying to get a better answer with a uncertain smile.
"I mean you and her won't be able to conceive."
Megamind's heart fell to the pit of his stomach as his thin shoulders sagged and his green eyes slowly looked away from his friend.
"I'm sorry, sir."
He took a deep breath. He figured as much, but it did still hurt. He then smirked on a lighter note. "Oh, well," he said as he shrugged it off. "I still have Roxanne." He then turned on his heels and began to walk away with happiness with his best friend following.
"You're still going to ask her, huh?" He asked eagerly with a grin.
Megamind chuckled with narrow eyes. "Oh, yes, Minion. She is still coming over and everything will go the way as planned." He then took a deep breath with a smile and said lovingly, "Oh, Minion. Soon Roxanne will be my bride." At sunset today, he was going to bring the lovely reporter to the observation deck to watch the sunset and then he was going to ask her the question. The ring was in his pocket and she would be coming by any minute now. He then smiled at his firmed and joking punch him on the arm. "And you are going to be my best man!"
Minion laughed happily. "I can't wait! She'll look so beautiful in a wedding dress."
Megamind sighed lovingly at the thought. "Wouldn't she, though?" He then smiled at the fish. "Only if she say's 'yes'!"
"Megamind?" A voice called that made his heart leap for joy.
"Roxanne," he whispered with happiness. He hurried over to the entrance of the lair as Minion hurried to the computer to shut it down just in case. When the blue hero found his beloved, he walked over to her with a smile and kissed her forehead. "Hello, my love."
She chuckled, embarrassed. "Hi." She kissed his lips and smiled lovingly at him. "So," she said as she walked past him placing her purse on the black leather couch. "What's going on?" She was wearing a knee-length black skirt with a charming crimson blouse on with heels.
The sight made Megamind melt as he imagined her in a white wedding gown. Then he shook his head. "I was thinking that we should have a view of the sunset tonight." He began to walk to the elevator. "Clear night and everything and since we hardly see it, might as well." He looked at her slyly. "What do you say?" He was hoping that she was going to agree to it, otherwise he'd have to think of another idea very quickly.
Roxanne chuckled. "I think it sounds wonderful."
Being a gentleman, he offered her his arm as she approached him and she accepted, then he lead her to the elevator and up to the observation deck. When they arrived, things had not changed much since a year has past from the murder attempt of Metroman, but it wasn't all bad. He walked over to the red button on the desk and pressed it, opening the observatory to the coastal cliffs and the distant city as the sky was beginning to turn orange.
"What a view," Roxanne breathed in awe, walking toward it. She never got tired of it.
Megamind chuckled in amusement as he stood beside her.
"I can see why you wanted me to come today. The sky is beautiful and the clouds…" She then looked at him with a smile. "You have the best view of all the city I think."
He chuckled in agreement. "I do. I really do." He then began to get nervous at the thought of the proposal, but shoved it from his head for this moment and sat on the floor with Roxanne following.
She placed her hand over his as she rested her head on his shoulder. "I wouldn't give up this time for the world."
He smirked at that. "Neither would I."
"Megamind?" She looked at him with a smile.
"Hm?"
"I love you."
"I love you, too." He then thought about marring her, but he couldn't have a family with her. Not only for him, but she was never going to be a mother. He knew that he had to tell her first before he asked her the question. It was only the right thing to do. He became nervous as he looked away with his eyes. "I have to tell you something," he began nervously.
She raised her head and looked at him. "What is it?" Concern was in her voice.
There was no backing down now.
The alien swallowed, trying to calm his breath. He had to tell her. "How much do you love me?" He forced himself to ask.
"What are you talking about?" Worry and wonder was in her tone as he refused to look at her.
"I'm saying if, you really love me, you'll not leave. For anything."
"Megamind, I won't leave you. Now tell me what's wrong?" She gently stroked his head with concern in her blue eyes.
"You and I can't have any children," he forced himself to say.
That was one of the hardest things to admit to his girlfriend.
He took a deep breath, slowly looking at her. "Our DNA is too different to conceive. You won't be a mother if you stay with me." He looked her in her blue eyes, hoping, pleading that she was not going to turn away from him, but to his amazement, she hugged him.
"I love you," she whispered with her arms around his shoulders. "I won't turn my back on you. Not ever."
"Even if we can't have children?" He gently placed his hands on her shoulders and looked her deep in the eyes. "Even of what I am?" He asked in a hushed voice. For the first few months when they were dating, he never felt that he deserved her. They were too different and there was bound to be a human out there to love her just as much as he did or even more at that fact. Was there? But now since he was planning to marry her, the thought returned.
She gently placed her hand on his cheek and looked him in the eyes. "Not ever," she answered strongly. Then she gently stroked his bald head and slightly tilted her head to the side. "What's wrong? Huh?" She asked gently with concern on her blue eyes.
Since Megamind never really knew his parents and since he couldn't have children with the love of his life, it broke his heart, but now everything was just flooding his head. He looked at her with utter confusion. "Why do you love me? You and I are so different. You know you can't have a family with me and yet you stay. I'm an alien and you are a human. This doesn't make sense to me!" He cried, clenching the air with confusion. "I just don't get it."
Roxanne looked at him with wonder. "I love you, that's why. What else do you want me to say?"
He looked at her in the eyes. "Okay. Let me start from the beginning." He looked down, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then looked back at her. "When I was kid, scientists came by to do tests on me. They literally drew my blood and checked if I was 'safe' enough for this planet, otherwise they's have me practically executed and used for science. But the Warden didn't allow it, so he kept me in prison. When Minion told me what happened to my parents, I realized that I was purposely sent here. I am the last one of my kind, but you already knew that. But why did they send me off to live?" He looked out to the horizon. "Why did they send me out to survive? I should've died with them!" He then took a deep breath and looked down. "I should've stayed on the planet and… died." He closed his eyes and turned away with heartache. He never told anyone the truth about how he really felt about all of this. Not even Minion.
He then felt Roxanne wrap her arms around him and said quietly, "I would've never had met you." She rested her head on his shoulder and held him tightly. "I love you, Megamind. Please don't regret being here. Please."
He sensed her inner pain and heartache, making him hold her, the love of his life, tight. "I love you, too, and I never did." That was the truth. He then gently lifted her head by the chin and affectionately kissed her as the sun began to set.
