Fan Service
Summary: While going through some old stuff in the shelair, Guy find some old letters from Timmy Burrstein aka Coldfinger. After reading one in particular, Guy has mixed feelings about whether CF really is a villian or a misunderstood teen just like him. BTW this takes place years after the show. Guy, Kelly and Maz are all 17-18.
It was a quiet night in Megadale. Maz had gone home and Kelly had retired to her room for some 'beauty rest'. Guy, however, was still down in the shelair. Lately with the addition of some new villains Shezow has been working overtime since these newbies usually operated at night. Since he never went to sleep on time anyway, Guy decided instead of playing muted video games or watching stuff online, with earphones of course, he would chill in the shelair since those things were down there anyway. Unfortunately, a giant, secret cave is much less fun when you're alone, not to mention creepy at night. So here he was rummaging through aunt Agnes' old 'junk' and by junk I mean random old fan mail.
For the past several days because of nocturnal nuisances, Guy has had a hard time falling asleep on his own. So when he found the old letters earlier he figured they might be boring enough to knock him out at least for a little.
It was working until he came across a few letters send by Timmy Burrstein aka Cold Finger. Out of curiosity Guy decided to read them, maybe find a clue as to why he hates Shezow. Envelopes in hand Guy headed up to his room. After going through his nightly routine, he settles in his bed under the warm sheets. Sitting back he opens the first letter, there are five in total. He's pretty sure there are more, but he was too lazy to look. Finally he begins to read the paper.

Dear Shezow,
I am your biggest fan. You are the greatest superhero in the world and I hope I can be just like you when I grow up. It must be fun having superpowers. I would love to be able to do everything you do everyday. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Timmy Burrstein
'Aww how cute. Too bad he turned bad.' Guy thought. He placed the letter back in the envelope and picked up the next one.

Dear Shezow,
It's me again, Timmy. You probably don't remember me. I wrote you a letter a few years back. You didn't answer, but that's okay. I'm not your only fan so my letter probably got lost in with the other. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for everything you do for us. You go girl! Again thank you Shezow.
Love,
Your #1 fan Timmy
Guy smiled a little at this. 'He was such a sweet kid. I wonder what happened.' The next two letters were basically the same things. The last letter was different. It looked recent.
Opening the white rectangle Guy found he was right and that the letter had been written two weeks after Aunt Agnes had past. What it said was not what Guy had expected.
Dear Shezow,
It has been 2 weeks and you're still missing. Everyone is worried. Please come home. I doubt you will get this since you haven't answered my previous attempts to contact you. If you do get this I want you to know we all love you and pray you are safe and sound wherever you are. This will be my last letter to you for personal reasons so I decided I have nothing to lose. Shezow I love you. More than anyone else in the world. I've had it bad for years now. I know I don't have a chance with you so I just wanted to let it out since I am no longer part of your community. Even so I will always remain yours forever.
Love,
Your #1 fan Timmy Burrstein
'She never wrote back? Not even one? I have to visit him tomorrow. I need answers.'
Unconsciously Guy did not notice the tears slowly falling down his face until they landed on the letter. Wiping his eyes with his sleeve, Guy put the letter back in its place and hid it under his pillow then closed the lights and finally drifted off to sleep.
