A/N: Ever wonder where the orange headband Violet is wearing came from? I know I did.
A Gazerbeam fan fiction
I wonder why I even came to Nomanisan.
I guess my determination to relive the past overpowered me. Back in the glory days everything was good. I was a strong, powerful man that was constantly praised for his work. The government rewarded me with large sums of money, the citizens rewarded me with fan art, sculptures, and more artistic works. Yet once the lawsuits arose I was forced to stop. My work was no longer wanted, along with other supers, I was hidden from the public and forced to remain as Simon forever. The closest thing I got to "being super" was working to help protect the identity of hidden ex-coworkers. So when I got the recruiting message from Mirage about this job opportunity I was sure not to turn it down. Fighting against this android has me regretting it now. I've left my family behind claiming to be on a "secret lawsuit". It even sounds idiotic to me.
So Now here I am, all alone dying in a cave, the only thing I had to remember my family was an old orange headband my daughter had left in my suitcase when I allowed her to use the suitcase for a school project. I didn't think too much about it but now I wish I did. It's there on the island somewhere...while I'm here hiding from another android this psychotic wannabe superhero syndrome runs around out there. So now I am forced to sit here, lusting for the present to not be like this, wishing to change the past so I can see my family again.
I was so mindless when taking this "job". I didn't think about the possibility of loosing my family, or dying. I believe the only reason our arguments started to well..stop was because everyone around me was starting to grow sick of me lusting for the glory days. I never really grew up, one guy I know who successfully moved on was Frozone, sure he slipped just like everyone of us, but that guy really learned to move on. And he's successful too. He wrote a couple of books about being an entrepreneur. He has a wife he's been married to for a couple of years, I bet if he had gotten this message he would have declined. I mean...Lucius may have lusted for the opportunity, but I've talked to that guy and he's serious about staying out of the legal side of everything. He'd help save the world yes, but playing around with some...robotic spider droid thing? No way. I envy him now, and wish I thought out my next move more.
So now I'm longing for this whole ideal to be over and wishing for my daughter...or even just that tangerine orange headband.
While sitting there in thought Gazerbeam sighed heavily, seeing a floating electronic device he desided this was the time to warn any man who would come across his corpse. Using his laser vision he quickly burned 'KRONOS' in the wall opposite from him. With his will to live now gone he awaited his fate to die, and was terminated by one of Syndrome's robots.
A/N: Just a short thing really, I wasn't trying to accomplish anything, I just wanted to say where I imagined it had gone.
