A short bit of insanity starring Apocalypse.

I am (not) invincible!

Apocalypse, that well known crazy and all round evil dude, landed with a crash right in the middle of nowhere.

'Mwhaahaahaa!' he laughed manically 'They thought I was gone, but I'm not! I am eternal! I am invincible! I am… Hey where the hell am I?

'You mean when the hell are you.' An old man wheezed at him.

'What? Who are you to correct the mighty Apocalypse?'

The old man pushed back the hood of his cloak revealing a face covered in hideous tattoos. 'Don't you recognise me Lord?' Mesmero asked.

'So my loyal and foolish servant,' Apocalypse said 'why did you wait for me to return?'

'Loyal servant my arse!' snapped Mesmero 'I'm not waiting for you to return. I can't show my hideously tattooed face at the old peoples home without some ex-X-man trying to beat me up!'

Apocalypse was silent, clearly he'd been gone longer than he hoped.

'But since you're here,' Mesmero said 'answer one thing for me. If your so invincible then how were you defeated?'

'In fact I'm not really invincible,' Apocalypse admitted 'I just said that to scare people.'
