about

The league has failed.
Captain Ordinary lies defeated, and Dr. Moustache's machine has seemingly killed Optimism Man.

Here in our heroes darkest hour, Annie laments the loss of her newfound love.

lyrics

ANNIE
THIS IS NOT HOW THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN
NO, YOU WEREN’T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE
OPTIMISM’S NO SHIELD, NO WEAPON
YOU HAD HEART WHERE YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD FEAR.

YOU WERE A HERO TO ME-
I COULDN’T BE A HERO FOR YOU
THIS WHOLE TOWN NEEDED YOU HERE, AND YOU DISAPPEAR
THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO

SO DON’T GO
FILL THE BLANK PAGES OF YOUR STORY
WHEN WE HAD SO MUCH, MUCH MORE WE
WANTED TO DO, SAVE A LIFE OR TWO

DON’T GO
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE OUR STORY
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REAL AND ORDINARY
IT WOULD’VE BEEN TRUE
BUT A ME WITHOUT YOU IS JUST

COMPANY
ALMOST

ANNIE
JUST TEARING AT THE PAPER CUZ THE PEN’S OUT OF INK- I’M

COMPANY
ALMOST

ANNIE
GOT THE IDEA BUT I CAN’T SEEM TO THINK- I WAS
ALMOST HOME AND I’M BANGING ON THE DOOR BUT I KNOW I’VE LOST THE KEY, CAN’T GET CLOSER THAN A GLIMPSE THROUGH A WINDOW
BECAUSE WITHOUT YOU, I’M ALMOST A HERO

COMPANY
SO IT’S WRITTEN

EMILY
NOT IN STONE

COMPANY
SO IT GOES

EMILY
NO DON’T LET GO

COMPANY
WITHIN OUR HEARTS NOW
IS YOUR NEW HOME

EMILY
THAT’S NOT WHAT HE WOULD HAVE WANTED

COMPANY
ALMOST HEROES

ANNIE
ALL ALONE

COMPANY
BUT ALL GOOD HEROES ARE NEVER TRULY GONE

EMILY
YOU CAN’T BE THE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS AND A SUPERHERO TOO
HE KNEW WHAT HE SIGNED UP FOR AND I THOUGHT I COULD SAY THE SAME FOR YOU

COMPANY
HE WASN’T GIVEN A CHOICE, BUT IF HE EVER GOT TO CHOOSE
HE WOULD HAVE DIED TO SAVE ANY ONE OF YOU

EMILY
YOU ARE THE PEOPLE WHO SAVED THE WORLD TODAY
AND IF OUR WORLD IS SMALL THEN THAT’S OK
AND THE REST OF US? WE’RE HERE TO STAY
AND I KNOW THAT YOU HAD BIG IDEAS FOR YOUR STORY

ANNIE
AND WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE, MUCH MORE WE GOTTA DO

BOTH
SAVE A LIFE OR TWO

COMPANY
ALMOST

EMILY
A HERO DOESN’T STRIVE FOR FAME OR FOR GLORY

COMPANY
ALMOST

BOTH
BELIEVE IN WHO YOU ARE YOU’LL BE THE HERO OF YOUR STORY

COMPANY
DEAD NOT GONE

REMEMBER WHAT HE STOOD FOR
HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE
SUPERHEROES NEVER DIE FOREVER

WE WILL HONOR OPTIMISM
AND ALL THAT’S POSITIVE
THINGS ARE ALREADY LOOKING BETTER

ANNIE
ALMOST
