I've been wanting to write a Megamind story for awhile and I just kind of thought of this. It's kind of sad, I guess... So, please enjoy reading it.
Disclaimer: I do no own Megamind.
He wasn't good enough for her, and he never was going to be.
He's tried countless times to tell Roxanne this, but all she did was stop those words that she dreaded hearing from coming out of his mouth. She would always reassure him witha kiss and words of forgiveness and love.
But that wasn't good enough for Megamind.
He nearly destroyed Metro Man and the city, deceived the girl of his dreams so that she would love him and on top of it all, created a new hero that would fulfill Megamind's desire for being bad.
He was the bad guy, and he'll always be known as the bad guy.
The newspapers, the articles from magazines, news reports, they all said the same thing.
Megamind is the bad guy.
Hearing this sent a huge prick into Megamind's sensitive and fragile heart. He didn't want to be the bad guy anymore. Both him and Minion hung up their capes, put away the Black Mamba and closed off the lair weeks sgo. Even though all of that has been done, Megamind has still not been able to forgive himself for everything he has done.
One day, at Roxanne's house he popped the question that's been haunting him,
"Roxanne… am I still the bad guy?"
Her reaction and answer were always the same, "Megamind you made plenty of mistakes but you fixed every one of them. A bad guy wouldn't have taken responsibility for his actions like you did. You're not the bad guy anymore; you're the good guy now."
Even though her words were true, Megamind still had discomfort in his heart. He couldn't get comfortable with the feeling of being good, but he didn't want to go back to being bad. So what could he do? What else was there for him to do? There was only one reason that he was trying so hard to be good. And that reason was Roxanne Ritchi.
He loved Roxanne more than anything else in this world, but he knew that she could never be his. Did the Green Goblin get Mary Jane in the end? No… but did he even want to? Did the Green Goblins son get Mary Jane in the end after he turned bad and then back to good? Well no, he died… but those are not the points that he was looking for.
The point was that anyone who's done bad things countless times don't get the happy ending that they may want, and it was time for Megamind to face that.
He has made the hardest choice of his life… and he wasn't planning on turning back.
He looked once more over his shoulder and watched the glorious city of Metro City disappear behind him.
Maybe he'll go back and visit someday… someday when he feels like he deserves to be happy.
But until then, he is going to disappear from everyone's lives until he figures out what he wants. So many thoughts haunt his mind that he wants to sort out before he even thinks about going back.
Thinking back at the last thing he did in the city, he smiles slightly. He didn't want his missing presence to be a mystery to anyone. So he left a note by Roxanne's bedside that read,
Dearest Roxanne,
I hope to someday be the good guy that you are searching for. But until that day comes our paths must separate for a time. Keep an eye on Minion for me and reassure him that I will be coming back. You'll always hold a special place in my heart, Roxanne. I only hope that someday I may also be held in your heart as well.
Until we meet again,
Your Megamind
Even though he'll never be good enough for her, maybe someday he'll be worthy enough to be in her life once more.
But until then, he bids everyone goodbye in hopes that he may greet everyone again with a happy 'Ollo'.
Like I said, kind of said. It's my first sad oneshot, and first Megamind story. So what'd you think? Feedback is most welcome, but flames will just be doused out with water. Thanks for reading! XD
