History Fanfic / RainOnTheJust

* ChekhovsGun: The paradox gun
** Owen's blueprints

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Bernard is obviously moved by the sacrifice of the brain bot, and later honors it with a placard.

* ShoutOut: Megamind references [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Buddy/Syndrome's actions in the film]] as a reason why they can't just brush off Owen's attention

* TranquilFury: Megamind, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness in a frighteningly OOC moment]], when he's preparing to finally kill Metro Man. [[spoiler:At least that's what he pretends to do.]]

* TranquilFury: Megamind, when he's preparing to finally kill Metro Man. [[spoiler:At least that's what he pretends to do.]]

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Minion]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The reference early on to WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles

* MadBomber: The Beetle-Bomber/[[spoiler:Fire Bug/ Owen]]

* ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler:Owen keeps trying to get people to use his chosen name of Fire Bug rather than his normal one or Beetle-Bomber]]
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Bernard ponders this about the brainbot that pulled a HeroicSacrifice

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7032514/1/Rain-on-the-Just Rain on the Just]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/58021/N-L-Rummi N. L. Rummi]] certainly reads like a believable sequel to the film.

* DamselInDistress: Roxanne
** BadassDamsel: She tries to pry out details of her kidnapper's plan, manages to have the presence of mind to activate a tracking device, attempts to escape on her own by smashing open a window, warns Megamind that [[spoiler:Owen]] has a gun as soon as her boyfriend arrives, nearly wrestles a weapon out of [[spoiler:Owen's]] hands when he gets too close, and spends her entire captivity trying to keep things under control.

Meanwhile, life continues to have complications as a new villain has apparently targeted the city. Bombs are being left in various locations around Metro City. At each site, a card is left behind with the image of a bug and fire on it.

* BeneathSuspicion: No one notices someone [[spoiler:delivering bagels]].

* IfYouKillHimYoullBeJustLikeHim: [[spoiler:Thankfully Minion talks him out of that and Megamind just plays the part of one approaching the slippery slope instead]].

** LoonyFan: He goes to some rather disturbing length to "help" his idol, including [[spoiler:blowing up several buildings, kidnapping Roxanne, and offering up a trapped Metro Man as a gift]].

* BeserkButton: In regards to Megamind, don't put Roxanne in danger, don't blow up parts of his city, and [[spoiler:don't try to kill Minion]]. He doesn't react well to that last one at all.

After the events of the [[Film/{{Megamind}} film]], not everything is completely settled. It isn't easy to change overnight, after all. While Megamind deals with his new status as a hero (and the obsessive fanboys that can come with that role), Music Man (formerly known as Metro Man) is beginning to realize that maybe he didn't think the entire FakingTheDead plan out fully. Roxanne tries to help out both of them as much as possible while her boyfriend tries to gather the courage to say those three little words...
