Epilogue
Roxanne watched the news with Rei cradled in one arm. Day five of her vacation and she felt no need to return to work in the near future. That didn't stop her from tuning in every night and providing journalistic commentary to anyone who was in the room with her. After the second day Megamind, Minion and Shiyounin all learned quickly to stay out of the lounge between 6 and 7pm but Rei was a captive audience. She smiled up at Roxanne with her curious little eyes. She was very cute, Roxanne decided, but that did not increase her desire to breed in the near future, especially considering the possibility of a baby with Megamind's gigantic head...she shuddered.
Chris, the handsome but slightly plastic-looking anchor smiled into the camera.
"Good evening Metro City, I'm Chris Stephanovic and you are watching the six o'clock news."
"He uses the same opening every night." She said quietly to the tiny fish. Rei blinked and let out a bubble.
"Tonight's top story: The return of one of this city's greatest heroes, Wayne Scott, formerly known as Metro Man." Roxanne's jaw dropped.
"Megamind! Get in here!" she shouted, causing Rei to let loose a stream of bubbles. "Shhhh shhh shhh I'm sorry." She rocked the fish gently. Rei's lower lip quivered but she stopped crying. Megamind walked in cautiously.
"If this is another Harry Newman rant I'm going out for the rest of the night." He warned. She was staring at the screen. Of course, Harry Newman had the story.
"Yes Kevin. I'm standing here with Metro City's former hero, Metro Man. Metro Man, where have you been?" he asked. The camera switched to a shot of Wayne's face.
Roxanne gasped. Wayne was in a hospital bed. His hair was neat and his beard was trimmed but he looked terrible. He had dark circles under his eyes and he was very pale.
"Well Harvey, the truth is I don't really know where I was. I don't remember anything between getting hit with Megamind's death ray and yesterday when I woke up in an ambulance." Roxanne stared at Megamind.
"How...is this possible? How did he get back?"
"If anyone could survive the vortex he could." Megamind was wide-eyed.
"Have you heard there's a new hero in town?" Harry asked. Wayne managed a smile.
"Yeah I heard Megamind stepped up to the plate. I knew my little buddy would get there someday."
"So will we be seeing a Metro Man/Mega Man crime-fighting team in the near future?" Harry asked. Wayne shook his head.
"Well I'm kind of out of action for now Harry. My powers are gone from whatever did this to me. Maybe they'll be back, maybe they won't."
"What will you do now then?" Harry asked. Wayne lay back on the bed and smiled.
"Well recovery for a start. I don't know how I got in this condition but it's knocked me around. After that...Harry I've always loved music. And I've never had a chance to go anywhere with it. I spoke to Megamind earlier today and he's asked me to perform at his wedding."
"Wedding?" Harry interrupted. "You're saying there's a wedding?" Wayne flinched.
"Oops. I don't think I was meant to say anything about that..."
Roxanne raised her eyebrows t Megamind.
"Roxanne I swear this is the first I've heard of it." He held his hands up defensively, then began swearing at the television screen.
"What is it?" she asked.
"He doesn't have amnesia. He's lying through his teeth. Look at him!" Roxanne looked back at the television screen. He did have that awkward look on his face when he was trying to spin a story.
"I'm going to kill him. I am really, truly going to kill him." Megamind growled. Roxanne shook her head.
"Oh well...he's alive." She hugged Megamind.
"Not for long." He said but was cut off by iBot. He loudly started blaring music and bouncing around the house.
"Out!" Megamind shouted. iBot zoomed away, threw open the front door and floated off to Metro City Hospital to find his friend.
You didn't really think I'd kill him off did you? Hehehe.
