Hey folks! I'm back with another story, the sequel to Here's a Story! This one is going to be all from 's point of view so I hope you all like it! R&R! Enjoy!


Hey...I'm Billy Howser. You might know me as Dr. Horrible, card-carrying member of the ELE that rules southern California with an iron fist? Yeah...that's me.

I'm an idiot. Let's face it, I am. I always put the things I want over what others need...especially her...I don't even know what happened to her. One day she just disappeared then I never saw or heard from her again.

So what else could I do? I had to go on with my life but it seemed so pointless without her. I mean...I knew that she didn't like evil, she tried to work around it but after a week she couldn't handle it.

Probably the best week I've ever had.

And I ruined it.

I don't even know if wishful thinking even helps. I'm a scientist; I should have known that there could never really be room for a personal life. Yeah, we tracked her down. We know she's in New York but I know there is no way she could still love me...she probably hates me. I resigned myself to that.

Well then this happened.

I was in my factory working on creating a massive AI to run the factory so I could expand and branch out. I plan to build a large wall around the city to make sure I could finally assume full control of it. The wall would make it impossible to get in or out without my clearance.

I was designing the AI's main core system when Moist, my sidekick, came in. He looked like he was in a panic.

"Doc! You just got this!" He handed me a letter, it looked like any other letter. There was one main difference though.

"Couldn't you have just given it to me with the rest of my mail?" I lifted an eyebrow as he handed it to me.

"No Doc, this is big. It's from New York."

"What?" I froze, my headshot down to the letter, I opened the envelope, nearly ripping it away. All that was inside was a single picture.

It was of a little girl. She couldn't have been older than three or four. Her eyes were bright blue and her hair was a strawberry blonde. She had a toothy grin and was holding a balloon in what looked like central park.

I turned the picture around and read what was clearly Penny's handwriting.


'Emma Sherman. Your daughter.'


I was floored. I had a daughter...how was it possible? Well I knew how but it shocked me but I didn't know what to do.

"Moist...I have a daughter." I looked up at my friend. His jaw it the floor. I couldn't tell if I were smiling or crying.

"What? Penny had a kid and didn't tell you?" Moist looked at the picture. "She looks like Penny. She's got your eyes though." He examined the picture.

Penny had a baby and I never knew...I just kept staring at the photo. I had a decision to make. I could move forward with my plans or abandon everything to find my daughter...my mind was split. This really was my last option. Clearly she wanted me to know our daughter but at the same time, did she want me too? Or just my presence? I was stuck in California. I knew I couldn't leave without abandoning my position at the Evil League of Evil.

I had to think.

"Moist...I need to talk to Sid Sherman...Penny's cousin. You remember her?" I asked.

"Yeah I guess." Moist shrugged, not totally understanding my thought process.

"Go get her. I need to talk to her about Emma." I said. Emma...my daughter's name is Emma...it felt weird saying it.

"Okay. Sure, whatever you need Billy." Moist nodded before rushing out.

All I could do now was wait


So now Doc knows! What's he going to do about it? Well just wait and see! R&R! Thanks for reading!
