The villain turns and finds himself looking at a rather pissed off Mad King with his crown back on his head. He can feel terror surging through his veins.

The Mad King growls at him then suddenly twists his arm causing a sickening crack to be heard as the villain's arm is broken.

The villain shouts in pain then collapses to his knees as the Mad King releases the broken arm.

X-ray shoots a beam at the villains thighs causing him to fall to the ground laying there whimpering in pain.

The Mad King is about to reach for his crown to finish off the villain for almost hurting X-ray when X-ray moves over to him placing a hand on his arm. He turns to the raven with a softer look than the glare of rage and hatred he was sending the villain.

X-ray shakes his head softly and the Mad King gives in wrapping his arm around his fiancée instead. He smiles pleased at the other for that.

The villain is soon taken away by some cops and X-ray turns as Hilda, Ash, Rusty and Vav run over to the two of them.

The Mad King notices and turns too. He and X-ray turn to face the four as the Mad King's arm slips off of the raven.

"I can't believe it!" Ash says in shock. "You just jumped in there and saved him!"

"But why would evil people and backstabbers fight crime?" Vav questions seeming to be still a little suspicious but he also has this look of being conflicted now.

The Mad King growls as X-ray flinches. He grabs his crown obviously about to deal with Vav for hurting X-ray.

X-ray moves in between the Mad King and the four standing there facing mostly facing the Mad King who meets his gaze with a softer look than the four thought he was capable of. He gives the other a warning look to not do that and the Mad King gives in raising his hands in surrender making X-ray smile.

"So you and the Mad King?" Hilda asks and X-ray looks over his shoulder at her. She crosses her arms over her chest.

"Yup." X-ray confirms with a smile. "But don't worry. He can be pretty harmless." He turns back to the Mad King and steals his crown placing it on his own head with a playful sticking out of his tongue. He puts his tongue back in his mouth before he speaks. "Well. We should get out of here." He takes the lead.

"Fine by me." The Mad King says and follows X-ray surprising anyone watching at how relaxed he is despite having his crown stolen by X-ray.

"Wait!"

The one that called for them to wait surprises the Mad King and X-ray making them pause then look back to the four or more specifically Vav who had called out to them.

Vav moves forward hanging his head. "I have something to say." He looks up with a sad expression when he stops walking. "I'm sorry."

"Vav..." X-ray says softly.

"I really was shallow and I didn't even listen. I didn't give you a chance. And for that I'm sorry." Vav apologizes. "But now." His lips curl up softly in a smile. "I can see just how wrong I was. I think you two are rather perfect for each other. So... Will you forgive me?"

There are a few moments of silence then X-ray is the first to move walking right up to Vav.

Vav watches waiting for a response and X-ray stops in front of him his expression almost looking blank.

Suddenly X-ray slaps Vav.

Vav stumbles a step or two as he is standing unlike when Ash slapped him.

X-ray smiles softly. "Now I forgive you." He says in a happier tone.

Vav laughs slightly. "Thanks for that." He says not mad about the slap at all.

The Mad King smiles then closes his eyes softly as he shakes his head slightly chuckling himself with his arms crossed over his chest. "I think that slap was from both of us." He says.

X-ray heads happily over to his fiancée and wraps his arms around him in which the Mad King opens his eyes halfway and wraps his arms around the raven in return. "You know. I think we're perfect for each other too." He says.

"Same. This love is one of the only things that I will keep even in my grave." The Mad King agrees making X-ray giggle softly.

The four smile at the affection the two share and for any other spectators their worries about the two being together are chased away making them nod in slight encouragement or just heading off to do whatever they were doing.

X-ray truly believes that life is truly perfect.

...............Six months later...........

X-ray adjusts his black tie as he is wearing a white suit he had gotten. He is in his changing room as today is the big wedding day. He has done what many brides choose to move his engagement ring to his right hand for the ceremony and then he will move it back to the left hand afterwards so that his two rings are stacked. He looks himself over in the mirror when a knock comes to the door. He turns to it. "Come in."

Vav comes in wearing a black suit of his own and gasps closing the door behind himself. "Oh X-ray." He says looking like a proud tearful parent. "You look amazing!"

X-ray smiles. "Thanks."

Vav moves over to him smiling wide. "I can't believe this is really happening."

X-ray chuckles. "A part of me can't either. It just feels so magically like a dream." He admits.

Vav chuckles softly. "Yeah it kind of does." He agrees. "I wasn't sure when this day would come because you never showed interest in anyone." He admits. "But here we are. The magical day has arrived." He pulls X-ray into a hug. "And I can't be anymore happy on your choice especially after you showed me that he could change."

"Yeah. Under the exterior he puts out Ryan's a really nice guy." X-ray says in agreement.

"Quite." Vav says in agreement. "You ready to go out there?"

X-ray nods. "Honestly I'm a little nervous though it's because it's just such a big day today and everything." He admits. "But I'm ready to do this."

Vav nods. "Then I'll see you there!" He heads off having to go to his seat.

X-ray turns to take one last look in the mirror before heading off to get into position. He closes his eyes taking a deep breath reminding himself that it will all be okay because he is giving himself to the man he loves.

The man he knows will take care of him through thick and thin. The man who loves him back as much as he loves him. The man who is the only one he can see himself marrying.

He opens his eyes ready to do this.

Rusty approaches dressed in a nice tux. He had agreed to take X-ray down the aisle to hand him off the Mad King seeing as X-ray doesn't really have parents so they decided to ask Rusty to take the parents place. "Ready?" He asks.

"Yeah." X-ray nods and they link arms.

"I'm proud of you." Rusty says. "Not only have you brought out a good side of the Mad King but you found someone who will take good care of you." He secretly had looked at the two heroes like his own children as he spent time with them, Hilda and Ash. He hopes to have Hilda as his own like the two's mother... One day... For now he focuses on this moment. He feels his heart swell at this very moment but he knows it will only do more so when he takes X-ray to the Mad King to hand him over.

X-ray smiles and they turn to begin walking down the aisle as people watch.
