Minor crossover, but you don't need knowledge of the other movie to understand. I had some indecision about where to post it – it may be a foreign character's POV, but I thought the tone fit Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog better.
Selfishness
By The Anonymous Authoress
He didn't talk much. Sure, he was impressively assertive at the meetings, satisfactorily cocky in front of the press, and suitably arrogant in front of his nemeses… but there was hollowness fear grief I'm in over my head there.
Nobody else people on top don't bother looking anywhere but in the mirror people on bottom have nowhere to look but up saw it. They only saw what he chose impressive awesome horrifying to show them. His not so alter alter-ego clung to his public persona like a scared child hiding behind his mother's skirts.
He was new naïve gullible spineless around here. He was effective rich famous powerful and the media had yet to tire of his fad. He was lucky bastard the favorite. Most subtle of all, he was lonely desperate easily manipulated.
Which meant he was the perfect pawn in her plans.
Gaining his cooperation getting him in bed was really easier than it should've been. Poor guy spineless loser wasn't any good with girls. But she had experience in getting guys awkward nerds like him to believe that a girl as radiant stunning desirable pretty as her would actually talk to them.
As soon as she had introduced herself to him, his eyes had gone all disgusting weak pained big and watery; it was like she was staring at a kicked puppy no wonder he wears those goggles all the time. He mumbled his own name and she instantly rage hate loathing recognized its similarity to the last guy she had tricked used lost to dealt with.
Their relationship mistress pawn fuck buddy was built on twisted needs not exactly healthy. Sometimes she slipped and called him by that other a similar Billy Bill Will name while they screw rut fuck make love. He's too far gone absorbed in his fantasy with the other one in bliss to notice. He always looks surprised confused you're not her a little out of it when they're done.
As long as they keep screwing keep the reporters happy keep everyone interested they're still an item, she's on near the top again. It's as if his power prestige fame influence had rubbed off poured into reflected onto her. Of course that was always just how power worked everywhere around here.
She hated depending on someone so weak living in his shadow; she was never one not since high school to fade into the background willingly. She could hardly stand it – only the fact that he wasn't as stupid as he looked could appreciate her abilities made it bearable.
But he always got the name Penny oh Penny right. Her vanity appeased, she could care less about his pathetic little issues. Loser.
Crossover with Sky High if you didn't guess. Experimented with a new style – italics are Penny's deeper (more honest) thoughts. Hope it wasn't too confusing.
