New AU story! By the way, before you say anything, yes, I am continuing Secure in Your Embrace; I just had written this particular story down on paper and wanted to publish it, and it won't leave me alone, so here you go! But I plan to work on this one a lot, too. This is going to be rated T for later events, and may be moved up to M (probably not; I'll have to see where this goes and what my readers think) for things like self-harm, alcohol and drug use, violence, bullying, sexual references, and swearing. Well, here is a new story, MegaScars. Oh, and, by the way, this is NOT a Crossover of Megamind and Madagascar, like the title looks like. It's only derived from the one (fantastic) movie, Megamind. Hope you enjoy! :D
The blue teenager shook the rusted bars of his own personal prison cell, which was decorated in ACDC posters on the cold cement wall as well as colourful papers hanging from the ceiling with complicated mathematic equations written on top of them. "George, could you please get Warden for me? I have to ask him a very important question," the adolescent asked the young officer who was walking close by.
"Sure thing, Big Brains," he answered back. George was the alien's favourite officer, with the exception of Warden, of course. Having to leave them at a very young age of only eight days old, he never got to know his family, and so Warden was like the dad he never had, and George was something like an older brother, even though Minion was still the closest thing he ever had to a family. George was also the only one who called him "Big Brains", though. Everyone had already accepted the new name he had recently made for himself, which was Megamind; if not, they had at least just called him by his legal name, Dex. However, the extraterrestrial had actually taken a liking to the nickname he was given to by the officer; he pictured it as sibling-to-sibling humour.
When Warden arrived, he gleefully greeted the boy, "Good morning, Megamind. How are you today?"
"Fine, thanks for asking. Look, I have an idea. Well, it's more of a request, but can I please go on?" the lad asked of the older gentleman.
"Has my disapproval ever stopped you before?" the warden commented with a roll of his eyes.
"That's what I like to hear!" the adolescent said with a smile on his blue face, and then continued, "I was thinking that maybe, just maybe, I am ready to go back to shool. It's been quite a while since that incident happened ten years ago, so, what do you say?"
The middle-aged man replied, "Well, aren't you worried they'll treat you like they did when you went to that Lil' Gifted School?"
"I have considered it, but I really think that I'm ready to re-enter society as a solid citizen. Get back to the real world, ya know? It's late September, and they should have already started by now, but it is better to do something sooner than later, right?"
Warden let out an exaggerated sigh and spoke, "If that is what you wish for, I'll enrol you today, and you should be starting soon. But keep in mind that high school is harsh and demanding. Kids are cruel, and I can guarantee you that you're going to get bullied. High school boys are pitiless. And the teachers give you an overwhelming amount of work to do."
"I know," Megamind said in a defensive and condescending voice while doing the clichéd teenage roll of the eyes.
There was a long pause that followed the boy's comment in addition to a small stare down between the two males. Warden broke the silence and said, "You'll be in 11th grade, correct?"
"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" the teen enthusiastically exclaimed. He could barely compose a full sentence, shaking at the mere idea of school.
The warden was happy to see Megamind in such an elated state and tried to repress a smile, but could not, yet to keep his serious attitude, he forewarned the young man, "Well, are you absolutely sure? Because once I register you, you can't just quit," Warden cautioned him.
"I know. I've thought this one through long and hard and this is what I want," the cerulean boy replied.
"Okay, then. In that case, I'll go call them now."
Megamind shouted graciously as the warden walked away, "Thank you, Warden!"
Megamind restlessly waited in his cell, walking back and forth around the perimeter of his cell, hoping that he would hear some news from the warden soon. Is it really happening? Will I finally get to learn outside of an encyclopaedia? Will I finally be able to make some friends?
He looked over to find Minion sleeping. Minion was his best friend and brother (at heart). He never went anywhere without him. The space fish had always helped him through any problem, no matter what the circumstances were. They had a brotherly bond that could not be broken by the strongest force in the universe, and even though Megamind's ego often got in the way, at the end of the day, he really did appreciate Minion.
After anxiously pacing around in an unsystematic pattern in the region of his cell's floor, silently, so that Minion would not be disturbed from his slumber, for just about thirty minutes, Warden walked by. He spoke to the blue boy, "I just called."
"And‽" the overly-excited alien interrobanged. He simply could not bear to wait to hear what the warden had to say.
"My head officer will take on my duty while I go to Metro High School to fill out some papers. If everything goes alright, they said you should be starting tomorrow."
"Really? That's fantastic!" he bellowed with joy.
"Well, just make sure you get ready. You wouldn't want to be unprepared on your first day back to school," the warden scolded.
"Okay! Thank you, Warden! Thank you so much!" the extra-terrestrial exclaimed. After that, he used up all of the time he ought to have spent by sleeping by instead getting ready to confront the most complex, thrilling, and dangerous invention in the entire history of mankind: high school.
