It was a warm, beautiful, bright and sunny day in Metro City and Roxanne wished it was raining. She was a complete wreck and she wanted to badly for the day to reflect her emotions. A bird chirped from a nearby tree and she glimpsed two squirrels running through the graveyard from the corner of her eye. Why, today of all days, did Mother Nature have to bless the city with perfect summer weather?
She used the sleeves of her black blouse to wipe the tears from her eyes. She had been crying for hours and no matter how hard she tried she just couldn't stop them from coming. A comforting hand was placed on her shoulder and she leaned into its owner. The two of them had been there since the funeral began and Roxanne just wasn't ready to say goodbye yet. She doubted she ever would be ready.
"I just don't understand. Why him? Why now? He was suppose to be invincible," she couldn't keep her voice from breaking and a whole new wave of tears washed over her.
Her companion stayed silent the whole while, holding her in his embrace trying to comfort her. There was so much he wanted to tell her, but he was a man of his word and he had promised Wayne that he wouldn't tell a soul, not even Minion. He hated himself for hurting her like this. He wished that he could tell her everything would be alright. He hated this whole situation and he hated the fact that he had given in and gone along with the insane idea to begin with.
Only a teenage and Wayne had been fed up with the whole superhero thing. Long story short, Wayne was downright depressed with his life and there was no way out of it for him. Not until Megamind had suggested a fake death via Shakespearean potion. It took months to make and perfect and now that the whole deal was done and over with Megamind loathed himself, but Wayne even more so. How could someone be so selfish!?
Once this was all said and done with, Megamind was going to look into a reset button and try to correct the mistake he had made. He hugged Roxanne closer as a rabbit jumped out from behind a tree and a flock of geese flew overhead.
He looked down at Wayne's tombstone and said, with an edge of bitterness in his voice, "Only the good die young."
Another short one. I don't know where this came from. The idea just hit me and I had to write it down.
