Billy was freaking out.

Inside of his head this time. How could Penny be in love with this guy?

Corporate tool.

"Rose, come on! We don't have time for this. Remember? The whole universe to travel, planets to save" a rather tall man shouted through the doors as a young blond came through them, rudely bumping into Captain Hammer. In her arms was a pin striped, brown suit jacket with a gross looking stain on it.

She didn't even say sorry for bumping into him. She turned around, one hand on her hip.

"Well maybe if the TARDIS' washer and dryer hadn't broken down, we wouldn't be having this problem, would we?" she shouted back as he came in, pouting like a child.

Captain Toolbox was now eyeing the one called Rose. Billy shoved him in a lapse of judgment. "I thought you only had eyes for Penny" he said with false bravery. His blue eyes glanced at the red head that was gathering up her laundry.

Captain Testosterone just smirked.

The bastard.

"Love is for weaklings" the Tool said, shoving Billy aside, "So I'm sure you'd understand all about it Dr. Horrible. I, on the other hand, don't need love to survive. " He continued. "I just wanted what you wanted." He added.

"Rose its not even noticeable"

"Not noticeable? Doctor it's the size of a baseball! Now, I know you're fine with running all over the place and get God knows what on your clothes, but I'm not. Plus it's starting to smell" she said all of this while shoving the suit jacket into the washer, throwing in a brand of detergent that Billy had never seen before.

"Penny, bad news. We're over" the Captain of shit said as he walked over to her. The red head just stood there in shock. "So, the old house thing is still going to for the homeless. But I just not into the geek, thrift shop girl" Penny wasn't sure how to react. Tears? Hatred? She didn't now how to feel so settled with an empty, neutral feeling that was now consuming her.

Captain Dickhead moved away from Penny and sauntered up to the blond. The tall man, a Doctor of some sort, tensed up at his approach as if he felt threatened.

"Hey babe, how about you and me ditch this Popsicle stand" he suggested with that same stupid smirk on his face. She just looked at him in disgust and a tiny bit of confusion.

"Did you just hit on me using a '90's pick up line?" she asked.

"It's a possibility. So what do ya say?"

Billy wasn't sure how to handle the fact that not only was Captain Douche bag a, well a douche bag. That he didn't have a heart either. Weren't the superheros supposed to be all touchy feely, fighting for freedom, peace and love? And the villains to be cold and heartless? Not the other way around.

"No" she answered

Billy slowly made his way to Penny's side. He didn't know what to do. If he should say something or stay silent, if he should put his arm around her or just leave his arm where it was. He didn't want for them to feel awkward about it later. Penny was still silent as she watched the man of her dreams, or at least she was sure he was, hit on another girl he had only seen two minutes ago.

"No one says no when offered some one on one Hammer Time" he said, the smirk disappearing. Rose rolled her eyes.

"I'm taken" she stated, taking a step back so that her back was up against the Doctor. As if he was given a cue, he put his hands on her shoulders. Captain Dumbass just glared.

"It won't last long" he said, "A man that skinny probably isn't that great in the sack"

She glared at him. "I love him and believe me, he's brilliant in bed" she replied, making the man behind her practically turn bright red.

Penny blushed as well, and reached out to hold Billy's hand. "Can you walk me home?" she asked quietly. Billy nodded, taking her laundry basket in one hand and still holding hers in the other and led the way out of the Laundromat.

It occurred to Billy that maybe he should have become a hero, instead of the villain. He had to big of a heart to be a villain sometimes.

Captain Hammer scoffed, turned and left. Probably to apologize to Penny, to try and win her back; it wasn't going to happen.

Rose turned back towards to the washer and took the suit jacket out and put it into an empty dryer.

"You're very blunt Rose"

She grinned nervously at him. "I meant it" he looked at her a bit confused as she shut the dryer door. "Well, not the in bed thing. Since I wouldn't have a clue what that would be like" she added quickly, looking down and her face turning red. Rose Tyler was blunt about many a thing…to a certain point. "But I meant the part about being in love with you"

He wrapped his arms around her, kissing her on the top of her head. "I…" he found that his mouth wasn't having trouble forming the words…but his tongue has having trouble saying them. "love you" he finally managed to get out.
