"Roxanne.." Megamind gasped staring at the screen in front of him. "No, no, no, no, no…" he muttered quietly and shook his head slightly his voice and eyes full of unbelief. Roxanne, his beautiful Roxanne was in terrible trouble, this masked man holding her roughly and pointing her with the gun. She must be totally scared.

He felt how the wave of rage swept over him and before he realized it himself he was rushing towards the invisible car, wobbling on the way there, catching the car's door just before collapsing on the floor. He felt so weak because he hadn't eaten for days but there wasn't time for that, not now when the love of his life needed him the most. He was sure saving her would melt her heart and she would talk to him again, let him explain, forgive him the whole unpleasant misunderstanding.

He opened the door and crawled inside the car, resting his head against the headrest awhile. He closed his eyes and felt how the cold sweat started to cover his large forehead and his whole body. He let out a frustrated groan and wiped the sweat off from his forehead with his forearm before starting the engine and gassing away.

His gaze was blurring while he headed towards the bank, almost hitting a tree and the other car on the way to his lady. He tried desperately focus on the road, forcing his brain to keep his vision clear. If something would happen to Roxanne he would never forgive himself. There wasn't any reason to live without her. She was his oxygen, his reason to wake up every morning, his love. She was his life. If something would happen to her, if she would have gone, then he would revenge himself on the person who had dared to take away someone so important and loved person from his life, he would make this filthy individual suffer and then he would go with her.

Finally, after the time which felt like an eternity he arrived at the bank. Slowly he stepped out and stared at the building firmly his brow furrowed. He inhaled sharply and started to take determined steps towards the main entrance.

Roxanne cursed silently she had decided to run her bank errands today. She hadn't any mood to become kidnap, not by Megamind and not to mention by someone strange and cranky fool who has grabbing her forcefully and shoving the tip of the gun rudely against her head, yelling beside her ear almost making her deaf. She didn't know was it a bad karma or what but it felt like the adversities were following her. First Megamind trying to kill himself, then the fight with him and now this. She didn't want to know what was coming next. She closed her eyes and tried to hold frustrated tears. Maybe this was just a bad dream. 'Please let it be just a nightmare.. This and the whole fucking fight Megamind…' She pleaded quietly.

"If anyone moves or call police I will blow this little lady's brains out." The man hollered and pushed the gun roughly against Roxanne's temple, holding her firmly against his chest which made Roxanne let out a little whimper and squeeze her eyes tightly shut.

"And you.." Man hissed defiantly in Roxanne's ear making her shiver even more. "You.. Go.. And.. Get.. My.. Money.. Lady.." He said with a low and threatening voice smirking smugly before he licked Roxanne's ear slowly, letting out an evil chuckle when she whimpered desperately and tried to tug herself off from his grip. Man turned her roughly and grabbed her hair, shoving the gun underneath her chin. "You like hard games?" Man grinned while pulling her hair. "Maybe we can play later but first you go to get my money.."

"Let her go.." Stated darkly voice from the other side of the room. There was Megamind standing and pointing the man with the DE- gun, his eyes full of rage and anger while he looked at the masked amateur holding rudely the woman he had ever loved.

"Megamind.." Roxanne gasped her eyes filling with delight and hope for seeing him. She understand suddenly how much she had really missed him. His voice and moves, his eyes and expressions, everything in him. She felt a sting in her heart when she realized how harshly she had treated him during last days. It was a surprise he had come to her, had come to save her despite of their fight. If they would make it she promised to herself she would let him explain, let him tell his point of view about the awkward situation between him and Metro Man which she had witnessed, because seeing him once again made her remember how much she truly loves him.

"You freak.." Man said coldly still pulling Roxanne's hair and pushing the gun against her chin but his eyes were fully fixed on the blue alien standing on the other side of the room and staring at him defiantly.

Then it hit Megamind. The man, he was one of those who had abused him. Even though he was masked he could recognize his voice and body type. Yeah, he was sure about it and a new wave of rage was sweeping over him once again. He was hungering for revenge and this time it would be double, for him and especially for Roxanne. He tightened his grip around the gun and furrowed his brow.

"Why don't you freak understand to die!?" The man shouted suddenly and before Roxanne realized it he was pointing the gun towards Megamind and then he shot.

Roxanne felt like she was watching a slowed down film. Megamind swaying backwards, DE-gun falling from his hands, his right hand pressing against his heart, the blood starting to dye his shirt, he rising his hand and watching it with unbelief in his eyes, wondering where's all the blood from, glancing his chest and realizing he's been shot, watching how the blood is pouring from his chest, raising his gaze towards Roxanne, looking at her afraid, shaking his head slightly, his lips forming words "I'm sorry.." before he collapse on the floor and go still.

"Nooooo!" Roxanne screams desperately trying to break away from man's grip and run to Megamind but he's holding her harshly. The tears are running wildly down her cheeks when she struggles and wails desperately, her only wish to run for him and hold him in her arms before it's too late. Then the man shoves the gun back against her head and she prepares to hear a click and feel how everything will fade away. And right now it's the only thing she hopes because if Megamind has gone then she wants to go with him.

She keeps her eyes closed, prepares to die but suddenly the man disappears and there's a loud crash and painful cry filling the air and when she open her eyes she finds out there's Metro Man behind her who has tossed the man harshly against the wall. She has never seen Wayne so angry before and she swear if it could be possible his calm blue eyes would turn to red right now.

She watches how Wayne starts take steps towards the masked man ready to give him what he deserves but she don't watch. Instead her gaze turns on the other side of the room, focusing on the blue man lying on the floor and blood red puddle widening underneath him. Quickly she hurries to him, her feet shivering slightly when she runs to him and kneels down beside him, her clothes staining with blood.

"Megamind?" She asked with shaky voice and placed her palm on his pale cheek. He didn't move or answer. His skin was cold and damp and Roxanne felt suddenly that was some kind of déjà vu.

She remembered the last kidnapping, him spasming on the floor before going still, she remembered how his skin was feeling at the hospital, cold and damp just right now, she remembered all the nights she had stayed awake, she remembered how she hold his hand and stroked his cheek, she remembered how she wiped his face with moist handcloth, she remembered all the pain and fear she was feeling and now she felt she would feel it all once again but she also knew this time it would be worse.

"Megamind!" She cried desperately and turned him around, shaking his shoulders but he didn't react. "Please, wake up.." Roxanne demanded, tears streaming down her face. She placed her hands on his cheeks and pressed her forehead gently against his. "Please…Wake up.. I need you.." She sobbed quietly and collapsed on top of him, crying unrestrainedly.

On the other side of the room Wayne had given couple hard punches for the kidnapper and was now holding him harshly against the wall. "Who the hell you think you are?" Metro Man hissed angrily and almost strangled him. The man was squirming desperately and gacking because of the hero's firm grip and when he was almost choking Metro Man let go and the man fall hard on the floor. Then abruptly Metro Man kneeled and removed the mask roughly revealing a man with red hair and pretty swollen black eye underneath it. Metro Man leered him contemptuously.

Roxanne lifted her gaze from Megamind's neck and her puffy and watery eyes focused on the man on the other side of the room. Seeing him made her gasp and grimace. "Hal?" She asked her voice full of unbelief and confusion. Her cameraman was watching her awkwardly.

"H.. Hey Roxanne.." He peeped and made a clumsy wave with his hand. "This.. This is not what it looks like…" He stammered but Roxanne had already stood up and grabbed Megamind's DE-Gun from the floor and selected the setting DESTROY and now she was striding determinedly, her eyes full of bloodlust, towards Hal pointing him with the gun.

"You fucking son of a.." She yelled angrily and her finger was already on a trigger when Wayne stepped before her and set his hand on top of the gun lowering it.

"Roxy, don't do it." He said emphatically. "It's not worth it to go to the jail because of him." He stated coldly and gave another contemptuous leer towards the man his brow furrowed and hard expression on his face.

Roxanne was so angry she was shaking. She looked in turn Hal and Wayne, pondering his words. Even though she was still angry at Wayne and their friendship was cracking, she had always gotten the best advices from him.

"Roxanne, I did it because of us." Hal was explaining pitifully. "I thought if I was rich you'd like to be with me, we could be happy together. I would give you all what you've ever wanted. I don't understand what you see in this blue freak.. He's so.." He hadn't time to finish his sentence when he had already turned to a blue cube and was now lying on the floor in front of Roxanne and Metro Man.

Roxanne looked at it furious. She couldn't believe what the creepy red hair was talking about. Why was he thinking she would ever be with him? Isn't it obvious she was doing her best to avoid him? The man was really a bonehead. She glanced the gun in her hand before she let it drop on the floor. She turned around and hurried back to Megamind, kneeling back on his side.

Wayne watched the cube on the floor before his gaze focused on for the first time on the other side of the room and the sight made his heart stop.

"Megamind? No.." he whispered quietly and flied quickly to him, his white boots got dyed with dark blood which was flooding slowly from his chest when he stepped carefully beside him and kneeled down.

"Megamind?" he asked trying to hide the fear in his voice while he placed his one hand on his chest desperately trying to block the bleeding and the other underneath his head.

"Please, say something.." He demanded with a shaky voice pushing his hand harder against the bullet wound and then he felt it, a feeble and slow beat against his palm.

Roxanne was shedding silent tears next to Wayne, on the other side of Megamind's body, her palm pressed softly against his cheek. "Is he..?" She asked with small voice full of fear and anxiety, preparing hear the worst.

"I can feel a pulse.." Wayne stated relieved. "But it's very weak…" He continued worriedly.

Roxanne didn't have time to answer when they heard the bank doors opened and a high pitched scream filled the room. "Sir!?" Minion screamed and started take hasty steps towards his boss but was interrupted when the doors opened again and this time group of armed cops rushed inside the building, couple of them running rapidly towards Megamind, one of them reaching to his taser and the other on the chains, their only goal to catch the criminal because who else could have tried to rob the bank but the city's supervillain.

"NO!" Wayne shouted and pulled Megamind on his lap, wrapping his arms protectively around him.

The cops were staring at him confused obviously thinking what the hell their hero was doing. Then there started to emanate a murmurs from around him and he turned his gaze to look over his shoulder. He hadn't paid attention before but now and realized there was the bank full of people who had been here during the whole robbery scene. They were whispering and giving a suspicious, skeptical and curious glances towards the city's most loved hero, wondering why he was acting like this towards Megamind. They were rivals, he should give him to the cops or haul him back to the jail by himself. It was his job, he should act like hero. At that moment, Wayne understood he should choose between his career and reputation or love.

Wayne looked around himself. He looked at the people staring at him suspiciously. He looked at the cops who were looking at him waitingly, ready to arrest the villain. He looked at Roxanne who had wrapped her arms around herself and was kneeling on the blood pool, tears streaming down her face and so miserable expression on her face he had seen never before. He looked at Minion who was standing couple feet away, his eyes filled with despair and evident worry. Then his gaze turned on the blue man lying on his arms, his eyes closed and chest wet and sticky because of blood, skin pale and moist. So little and fragile. He tightened his grip around him a bit and stood up slowly, never leaving the blue alien from his arms.

"The real villain is there.." Metro Man stated calmly and nodded towards the blue cube lying on the other side of the bank.

The cops gave suspicious glances towards it and then back at hero.

"Just water him. I'll come later to give a statement what really happened." He told and turned around to face people who were still staring at him.

"Dear citizens." Wayne proclaimed distinctly. "We all have privilege to receive help when we need it the most, regardless are we good.. or bad." He emphasized his last sentence and glanced softly Megamind who was perfectly limp and motionless. "I hope everyone here would learn today more about how to care about each other despite of race, gender or way of life."

The people were watching him silently until one of them started clap and soon the whole crowd was applauding and whistling to him but Wayne didn't have time to receive the cheers when he was already flying away, holding Megamind tightly but gently against his chest hoping there was still time to prevent him to turn into an empty shell, hoping there was still time to prevent eternity to swallow him inside the eternal and hopeless darkness.
