Authors note: Sorry that this chapter took so long to come out, I was stuck in the middle of a move and it made everything nightmarish.


The day of Boxman and Venomous's wedding had arrived. Everything was looking great. There were a lot of villains around, ranging from friends, to rivals, and to even investors of Voxmore industries. K.O. was made slightly uncomfortable, though he put up with it. He was there to support his extended family. Radicles was also there as well, which did not catch the aspiring hero off guard, he welcomed his co-worker.

K.O. sat with Rad at one of the tables in a small waiting area, waiting for the wedding ceremony to start. Final preparations were being made. Fink was getting ready for her role in the ceremony as well.

"So little buddy, how have you and Fink been?" Rad asked as they enjoyed the peace, even if they recognized some villains all too well, and a few of the Voxmore bots had given the Level 5 alien the cold shoulder, though they had a feeling it was not because of the overwhelming number of defeats they had compared to wins.

"We've been great, Rad! We're really getting closer every day," K.O. happily declared. The glorbucator stayed on his back. So far it didn't seem like his alien friend knew anything about the artificial womb. Shannon had kept this a secret, mostly as a favor. "Dendy hates me now though," he frowned as he said so, unsure why. He figured she did because of how much she loved him. He couldn't make sense out of it. Love worked so confusingly that it seemed to lead to every other emotion imaginable.

"Oh… sorry little dude. You and Dendy seemed extremely close. We all thought you two would get together after a while," Radicles admitted. Most of Lakewood Plaza expected the young heroes to hookup, it was a surprising twist to see how downhill things had gone in K.O. and Dendy's relationship. He was more than happy for his friend, even if it was him dating a villain with rough roads ahead.

"I really liked Dendy a lot, Rad. But then she just started acting different," K.O. looked saddened, even if he had accepted his most likely destroyed friendship with Dendy. He was not risking his health by having another child, just so his and Fink's child could have the kappa's medical support.

"It'll work out in the end, K.O. Dendy just needs some time to adjust, y'know. it really hits people hard when someone realizes they were so afraid of confessing their love that it cost them their chance at it," Radicles claimed, though his tone sounded sad, speaking from harsh first-hand experience clearly.

the bodega cleaner nodded. he understood that much. He wanted to be optimistic as well. he hoped for the best, though he doubted it would change how he didn't blame Dendy for being angry with him. "Everybody changes right?"

"Everybody grows, breaks and rebuilds. that's life for ya as you grow up," Rad reassured. He remembered what he was like before the brushy haired child came to the bodega. Rad never understood why he ever did the fake macho act, trying to be a showoff hiding his soft side. He would probably still be the same insecure muscle head if K.O. hadn't stepped into his life. He thanked him for it. "Just remember, if you need help with anything little buddy, don't hesitate to ask. We're here for each other," he patted his young friends shoulder. K.O. gave a smile with a grateful expression on his face.

The bell started ringing right at that moment. "It's time for the ceremony, everyone!" Earnesto announced from the doorway, here to gather everyone into the main room. everybody began to make their way to the main hall ready to get the ceremony underway.


K.O. was still amazed that Venomous and Boxman had this many friends even, the room was stuffed. Despite the more darkened theme to the wedding, everything felt bright. Maybe most of the guests were simply friends of the Voxmore robots instead.

K.O. sat beside Rad. he couldn't see Fink anywhere, but he expected that. he knew how much his girlfriend despised the role she had in the wedding, yet she agreed to it just so she could make Professor Venomous happy.

"This is looking pretty fancy compared to your mom's wedding little dude, but hers felt a lot more wholesome," Rad quietly commented to his co-worker, trying to enjoy the ceremony.

Professor Venomous stood at the altar in a white tuxedo, waiting patiently though looking nervous. The doors opened to reveal Boxman. Music played on a nearby piano. Fink emerged wearing a rather cute pink dress and her hair done back into a ponytail. Her role as the flower girl called for it, as unhappy as she was to do it.

Fink walked down the aisle, throwing the flower petals up and creating a practical trail of rainbow, creating a path to the altar. Venomous smiled, patting his loyal assistant's head since he knew she loved that.

Boxman began his way down the aisle. Raymond and Darrell led him. K.O. was happy to see his stepsiblings looking so pleased.

Boxman was at the altar, and his robotic children stepped to the side. The two villains stood face to face. All eyes in the room were on them. Professor Venomous looked as levelheaded as ever, but Boxman looked anxious.

"Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to unite these two in evil matrimony. Before we begin our ceremony, do you two wish to exchange vows?" the pastor asked. Boxman got out a piece of paper which his vows were written on. Venomous had his own page, shockingly enough. He was apparently not confident enough at the altar.

"You can go first, Boxy," the purple skinned man smiled. The round scientist tried to gather himself, breathing in deeply before clearing his throat, looking down at his vows written down on the paper, feeling the eyes of all the people in the pews pierce him.

"Venny… ever since we first met, I knew you were the most important person to have in my life. You helped my research. Helped me feel alive. I was happy to be working with you. Even though we had our ups and downs, I couldn't imagine my life without you. Not even when I basically wound up as a worthless villain on the streets at one point. I promise to never let you down and be there for you no matter what," Boxman finished his vows there, looking quite warmed. The smile on Venomous's face reassured him.

"Boxxy," Venomous inhaled, "When we first met, I didn't think of you as much more than a supplier for robot henchmen… But then at that dinner, you showed me that passion for evil you had."

"Ohh yeah, that day…" K.O. murmured. He and Rad remembered that dinner quite well. They and Enid had tried to crash it and it ended up with them all getting blasted away in a defeat that they all (including Fink) remembered.

"Even if you are goofy, you still won my heart with that passion in yours. It amazed me how it never swayed," Prof. Venomous smiled, "I know Shadowy caused a lot of trouble, and I am happy to have been able to mend our relationship over the course of time. I know to trust you with my full heart."

Fink looked very happy for her boss. Every word from his vow said with candor.

Boxman was delighted. He wanted to just cry from sheer pleasure at hearing those words. Despite their ups and downs he knew it would be a nice life ahead.

"If no one has any objections I believe those words outdid mine by a lifetime," the pastor gladly resumed the ceremony, "Do you take Professor Venomous to be your wedded husband Boxman?"

"I do!" Boxman held his significant other's hands.

"And do you Professor Venomous take Boxman to be your wedded husband?" asked the pastor.

"I do," answered Venomous, who felt like he was on cloud nine.

"Then with the powers invested in me I pronounce you hus…band…" the pastor stopped himself when he saw the newlyweds exchange a passionate kiss, gaining a few awes from a few of the many attending the wedding.

"Wow. They've been waiting for this day for a long time huh?" Radicles quietly said to his little co-worker.

"Yeah…" K.O. nodded to that. It was a nice ceremony, nonetheless. They could see some of the Voxmore bots even crying with how joyous the occasion was.


It wasn't long before the after party began, and everyone was gathered up to enjoy the delicious food. It was hard to believe that Jethro had a hand in making most of the food and making them seem fancy.

K.O. found himself in a rather awkward position, and so did Fink, she was sat beside him and still looked great in her outfit to him. He only had his tuxedo suit top on him after all. But what the young couple found it awkward was where Boxman and Professor Venomous's relationships were going. They were going to create a child with the L.C.U., just like they did. It sort of was weird to know that in advanced.

"You doing okay Fink?" K.O. asked while his girlfriend was holding the artificial womb that carried their child.

"Yeah. Just been busy working and researching all the time lately…" a tired Fink nodded. Her brushy haired boyfriend gulped, afraid. He hadn't told his girlfriend that Shannon now knew their secret. He did not want to upset her on her boss's big day either.

"You should take it easy. I know you just want to be ready for anything, but you shouldn't exhaust yourself to do it," K.O. insisted. His own mother had told him a thousand times over to not exhaust himself. He had trouble doing it for the most part, since in some fights he just wanted to go wild.

"I know, K.O. I just need to do something. If I do nothing, I wind up feeling really guilty," Fink confessed. She really hated not being around the artificial womb. Her motherly instincts had kicked into overdrive. K.O. understood this.

"When do you think Venomous and Boxman will uh… use the L.C.U. themselves?" K.O. tried to change the topic for her behalf.

"No idea," Fink shrugged, "But I assume they'll use it as soon as they can," for the first time in her life, her boss wasn't the primary thing in her mind. It was strange, but relieving, as if she knew the Voxmore bots would be able to help make him happy.

"Our families grew a lot in less than a year… and are going to grow even more," K.O. weakly laughed, it was a little overwhelming, he technically had an extended family of villains now, Fink felt similar now that she was in a relationship with a hero.

Their conversation was interrupted by a tap of the glass. They saw Shannon standing from her seat and Radicles beside her.

"Sorry for interrupting, but I have an announcement I'd like to make," Boxman's daughter smiled, trying to remain confident. Rad held her hand, trying to give her reassurance. "I just wanted to say that… me and Rad have become a couple again!"

K.O. and Fink had to play dumb on that one. They both already knew, and so did Jethro who always knew everything. Radicles tried to remain confident.

"What…" Darrell held his head.

"I guess there may be such a thing as fate," Raymond mumbled. Raymond had thought that he and his older brother had solved this situation already. Mikayla took the chance to steal food while everyone else that knew the two were surprised and Earnesto was just clapping, seeming to be happy for them.

"Well, so much for my plan on announcing our relationship here," Fink huffed. She had thought this would be the best chance to tell her whole family that she was dating K.O. That chance had passed up now, judging by the newlywed villains faces.

"I mean, it gives us some breathing room, right?" K.O. tried to look at it positively. The more hero and villain couples there were, the less judgmental people might be towards the very concept. He just hoped Rad would be okay by the end of all of this.
