Here's my next fan Fiction, thought I would try something different. Hope you enjoy (:
I don't own any of the characters and any of the ideas mentioned, I'm just using my imagination to bring something to life (:
It had now been almost a year since the Titan problem, and now being labelled Metro City's defender was amazing, Megamind was now accepted into this community, finding that he was not that much different anymore, aside from the obvious, his childhood was dead and buried and he could not be happier, he still had his best friend Minion of course that was a friendship that would never decay, no matter what seemed to happen, and Roxanne… over the past year they had grown closer, dated so many more times… they had been going out with each other for around 10 months, and still Megamind could not be happier.
The Evil lair was no longer Evil, he was considering an endless amounts of times to change the name and just call it The Lair, but never did due to Roxanne saying that if he wants to keep it an evil lair then do so, even if he is good, and if you want to change it to the lair then go ahead, always adding that The Evil Lair sounded much better.
Megamind had been too excited to sleep, there had been something he had worked on secretly for the past few years, it was finally complete and he was going to show it to Roxanne, he was grateful to know that she loved his work, no matter what it was he did. Megamind opened his eyes and pushed himself up and leaned back into his chair, he had fallen asleep, he glanced towards the clock 9:15am well at least it was still pretty early, and just in time to go and pick Roxanne up, he leaned forwards and stretched across the table to grab his phone, he kept his position spread across the table and flipped his phone up with his thumb, finding that he had one message waiting to be read. It was Roxanne giving him a 'Good Morning' he smiled and yawned unexpectantly, his hand had gone to his mouth, he pushed himself away from the desk and lifted himself from his seat, flipping the phone down and leaving it upon the edge of the desk.
"Minion, is the car ready yet?"
Megamind asked speaking into the watch, he had no idea where Minion was so this was one of the easiest ways to get in touch with him, without searching for him, he left the room and headed for the kitchen, stepping inside he made his way over to the refrigerator, he opened it up and leaned on the door to glance inside, looked like Minion had not really got round to the shopping.
"Sir the car is ready for you"
Minion's voice came through the watch pulling Megamind from his own thoughts; he smiled and pressed the button on the side of the watch to respond.
"Thank you Minion, I'll be down shortly, then we can go pick up Roxanne"
Megamind pushed the door shut and moved himself out of the kitchen, making his way down to Minion who was giving a few instructions to the surrounding brainbots, he had not really caught onto what he was saying he was still thinking about food, breakfast was a must have, as there was nothing in the fridge he just tried to ignore that fact, he walked over to Minion and stood by his side receiving positive noises from the brainbots as he entered their view.
"Morning Sir, how are you feeling?"
Minion asked turning himself in his bowl to face him; Megamind nodded his head and grinned.
"I'm feeling okay, I'm just hungry, and when are you planning to get food in?"
"Was going to do it today, as it is quite around the city, why don't you take Roxanne out for some breakfast"
Minion suggested, Megamind nodded his head sounded like a nice idea, and he knew a place she enjoyed going, and he had to admit he rather enjoyed it there too; the food was always to a good standard.
"Okay, I think I will"
Megamind turned and headed for the car, a frown quickly forming on his face, he turned on his heel and Minion chucked him the car keys, he caught them and grinned before turning once again on his spot and opening the car up, he got himself inside starting it up, Minion pressed the button and the door opened up leading up to the city.
As usual it had not took him that long to get himself to Roxanne's flat, he parked the car up and made his way through the door.
"Morning Carlos"
Megamind called out walking past the doorman, ignoring the look he was given, Megamind knew it would take him some time to forgive him for dehydrating him, or so he hoped, would anyone forgive you? Megamind stepped into the elevator and pressed the button, a soft 'ping' and the elevator doors closed and headed up. He stepped out of the elevator and headed down the corridor, finally reaching Roxanne's door, he tapped a few times and waited.
Roxanne had been getting herself ready, from the point she had gotten up, she had a shower, got dressed in something casual but nice, sent her boyfriend a text, and sat down on the couch awaiting his arrival, although she did prefer making her own way to meet him, but he always insisted on picking her up, which she had gotten used to know, and she really did enjoy it.
Roxanne stood from her seat pressing the off button on the television before peeking through the peep hole and smiled; she pulled the chain off and opened the door.
"Hello you"
She said pulling him into a hug, she pulled back after a few moments and pressed her lips to his, before taking his hand and pulling him inside.
"Want some breakfast; I could make you something quick"
Megamind smiled and shook his head softly.
"Well I was thinking we could go to that coffee shop on the corner; grab something to eat there, if you want to of course"
"That would be lovely; I'll just get my coat"
Roxanne said pecking him on the lips once more before turning and heading into her bedroom, she return not long afterwards, her coat wrapped around her, she looked up and grinned towards Megamind, his smile comforting for her, he held his hand out and she stepped across the living room taking it into her own, they both turned and made their way through the door, Roxanne grabbed the handle and pulled it to a close, before it closed completely she stopped and pushed it open before leaning in and grabbing her phone and keys from the table near the door, she then moved back through and closed the door completely.
"Do you want to walk around or shall we take the car?"
Megamind questioned her as they stepped through the doors of the apartment complex; she met his eyes and thought about it for a moment before grinning.
"The walk will be nice"
Roxanne said snuggling into his shoulder as the cold air hit them both, Megamind nodded his head directing the both of them in the direction of the small café, it would not take them long to get there, it was only on the corner.
Breakfast had gone pretty well, it was nice to be able to sit and do something like that with someone, even at how simple it was, they was only out for around an hour, now reaching the lair Megamind had an excited look on his face, Roxanne could not help but notice, she grinned and shook her head taking in a breath before speaking.
"Someone seems in a very good mood"
Megamind glanced to her before focusing on getting the car back into its usual spot, his head nodding a couple times.
"Why should I not be, I have a wonderful girl, my life has turned around because of you, there's something I want to show you as well, I've been working on it for a few years now"
Roxanne smiled some more listening to his words, ignoring the blush that showed up on her cheeks, she always enjoyed looking at all the inventions he had created over time, good or bad, they always intrigued her, and it really showed him for who he is, even if the invention was to destroy, he always adding something to it to mark it as his own, to make it seem… less threatening, and she could not help but be intrigued by how most of them worked, and how he could create some of them.
"I can't wait, and thanks for breakfast, it was nice"
She said to him, he just shook his head.
"Anytime"
The car was now parked up and Megamind stepped out, Roxanne following him from her side, she walked around the front of the car and slipped her fingers through his.
"Now what is it you want to show me?"
Megamind smiled and lifted to watch a few centimetres away from his face.
"Minion, could you send a brainbot with the key to the DeLorean"
"Right away Sir"
Roxanne's head cocked to the side and a curious look was clearly plastering her face, okay so she knew that he and Minion had been watching movies a lot lately, and she knew that Back to The Future was his favourite, because of the whole science behind it, and the storyline it gave, but she never knew he would be that obsessed with something… not that she minded, she was a fan herself.
"As in DeLorean, DeLorean?"
Roxanne questioned, Megamind smirked and nodded his head, already leading her to his 'creation' a brainbot meeting them outside the door, Megamind held his hand out and the keys landed perfectly into his grasp.
"Yes exactly"
Megamind said leading her to a door which had a sign on it saying, 'Keep Out' Roxanne just laughed and shook her head, not that there was many people around to actually enter the room, but still.
Megamind opened the door and made his way down the small corridor, Roxanne still lacing her fingers through his, the door automatically closing behind them both, leaving them in the darkness for a few moments, the lights came on when they stepped into the large room at the end of the corridor, it was bigger than she was expecting, and there was not much in there, it just seemed like another workroom of his, bits of scrap metal scattered across the floor, a bench surrounding the walls holding tools, and bits of machinery, a few boxes with the words danger on them, and then in the middle of the room a car shape object with a cover atop of it, not hard to guess what was underneath it, and she could not help but feel excited about it.
Megamind pulled her closer and then let go of her hand.
"Just grab the other side of the cover, please"
Megamind said moving himself to the other side to take a hold of the edge of the cover, Roxanne did as she was asked and grabbed the other side, and he started pulling it off and over the top of the car, Roxanne doing the same movements to completely remove it. Roxanne stepped back and looked at the car, a smile on her lips; it looked amazing, just how it did in the films, if not for the few added touches Megamind had obviously added himself; Megamind slipped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him.
"What do you think?"
"What do I think? It looks amazing"
Roxanne said looking into his beautiful green eyes.
"Can I have a look inside?"
"Oh, yeah sure"
Megamind said removing his arm and stepped forwards pushing the key into the lock, he then pulled at the handle and the gull wing door opened up, Roxanne stepped to his side and bent herself over a little to look inside, the interior looked amazing, and she could not help but be amazed by the detail, it looked just as good as it did in the movies, her brows raised and she looked up to him, a proud look clear on his face.
"You even have the time circuits"
Roxanne said, excitement clear in her voice, Megamind nodded his head and shifted himself around to her other side, pointing into the car.
"That's not all"
He mumbled, she looked up to him and then followed where he was pointing.
"The Flux Capacitor"
Roxanne squeaked like an excited child, Megamind chuckled and nodded his head a little before squeezing to sit himself in the driver's seat.
"Not the best thing, it actually works"
Megamind said to her, Roxanne sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Of course it does, it's a car."
Megamind raised his brows, a smirk clear to his lips, awaiting a different response from Roxanne, after a few moments, he could see that she was processing something in her mind, somewhat trying to believe, she frowned and tilted her head a little before taking in a breath and releasing it, soon her words following.
"You mean? The Flux Capacitor? It works as in… it can travel through time? As in go back in time, forward… stuff like that? Or am I just getting the wrong end of the stick?"
Roxanne questioned him; Megamind smirked and nodded his head, more for an answer to each of the questions she asked him, her brows raised…
"Are you serious?"
Roxanne questioned him, trying to get her head around it, the fact that he had a DeLorean was fantastic, and she was happy that he was able to get something like this, and build it up to scale, but actually being able to use it to time travel was just… well it was unbelievable, but as she thought about it, this was Megamind, inventing things, knowing things, was just him, he was incredible, and well… how could she even begin to question that.
"I'm serious"
Megamind scooted himself across, avoiding sitting on anything else but the seat, and then leaned over and tapped the driver's seat; Roxanne sat herself down and glanced around.
"When I was a child, someone suggested that I watched it for some reason, and well, because that someone spoke to me, after no one would, I trusted that it would be a good idea, never saw her until recently, she really changed my perspective on life, watching it, I started to get obsessed, which I found to be a good idea, and that's where I found how to develop the Flux Capacitor, and actually make it work, with a few alterations along the way, to actually make it work, after that I got to work on the DeLorean, I did not really want to change the design of the car, or use another car, because well, I love the whole DeLorean concept, and did not want to change that"
Roxanne smiled, taking in his words, so someone already tried changing his life way before she did, how she can not feel jealous over that, pushing those thoughts aside she nodded at the appropriate times.
"So, you have tested it out then? 88 add to the whole thing as well?"
Roxanne questioned, Megamind nodded his head.
"Yeah I tested it a few days ago, just to make sure of a few things, works perfectly as well, I developed a form of fuel which produces an electric charge, which powers up the Flux Capacitor, with a help of a few more electrical charges from a few other developments, which I find works really well, although it does need topping up frequently, and yes, 88 mph, I made sure of it"
Megamind said with a nod of his head, Roxanne smiled and shook her head, it was amazing, it truly was.
"Any chance you could take me somewhere?"
Roxanne asked him, obviously taking in the whole Back to The Future mishaps that happened; she knew that Megamind would not let anything change. Megamind nodded his head softly.
"I was planning to take you somewhere tomorrow, if that's okay?"
"Of course it's okay"
"Good, I was thinking we could go on a picnic… I mean I know it sounds a bit… crappy, but I mean when I was on that picnic before with you, when I was Bernard, It felt amazing, and well, I wanted to recreate it, but with it being, me and you… the real me"
Megamind said to her, she grinned and pulled his hand into hers, pulling him gently to him, she pressed her lips to his, a gentle but passionate kiss, he of course returning it, after a few moments she pulled back and placed her hand against his cheek.
"That sounds perfect to me"
Megamind smiled.
"Well I have the location sorted, we could leave in a few hours, I think Minion should have finished up the picnic basket for us"
Roxanne smiled and nodded her head gently, it would be nice to go on a picnic, just like they did before, but this time, and it would be the two of them, instead of Megamind hiding behind a mask.
"I can't wait"
Roxanne said pressing her lips back to his.
The time had passed pretty quickly, Megamind and Roxanne were already on their way to the location Megamind had found for their Picnic, Minion had been kind enough to pack the basket, full of sandwiches and other goodies, they had taken the hover bike, telling her it was the easiest way to reach their destination. And of course Roxanne would not argue, she was just excited to find where they were going… it had not too them too long, around 25 minutes to reach the area, it was a small island just past the city, trees and small hills, population zero, it was too small to have anything living on it, apart from the odd bird trying to find somewhere to nest.
Megamind parked the hover bike on top of one of the small hills and took the basket off the back and into his hands, before taking Roxanne's hand and helping her down, he then made his way to the edge of the hill which turned out to be on the side of a cliff, he placed the basket on the ground and took out the blanket, placing it on the ground and setting the basket upon it, Roxanne came over and seated herself down.
"You will need this"
Megamind said pulling out a blanket and chucking it over to her, she caught it and looked up to him.
"Going to get chilly are we?"
"Well I figured I would show you a few things, the sun setting here looks amazing, the view of the city lights, plus you can really see the stars from here."
"You know, you really do know how to be romantic, even if you don't think it is"
Roxanne said to him, smirking widely, Megamind sat himself down next to her, pulling the basket across so he could reach it, a light purple tinge adding to his cheeks, he pulled out the food from the basket and shook his head a little.
"I guess, I can be surprising sometimes"
Megamind said with a soft laugh.
They both ate what they could, noting how amazing it was, especially after Minion had made it, spending however much time on it he did, time was passing by, there had been there for longer than 5 hours now, laying down next to each other, the blanket covering the both of them, to keep them warm, the sun was already starting to go down… they had been sharing many thoughts, feelings, which Roxanne had to get out of Megamind a few times, but still he seemed okay to talk about anything and everything which she really appreciated. A few more hours onwards Megamind had drifted off to sleep as the comfortable silence had shifted between them, Roxanne still lay, her eyes towards the stars that had appeared, scattered across the sky, all that was on her mind was what Megamind had said the last time they had their picnic, when he was Bernard… about never fitting in at school, she turned her head and watched him sleeping… he must have gone through hell to turn to a life of villainy, it was something she could never understand, he was such a brilliant guy, obviously everyone judged him before they knew him, she was just glad she could know him, that she could love him as much as she does, she just wishes that she could do something about how he was treated… Roxanne leaned herself over pulling the covers with her, her arm slipping across his chest, and her lips pressing to his cheek, avoiding to wake him up… she failed, he shifted in his place and sucked in a breath before turning his head to look at her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, was I asleep long?"
"A bit yeah, but don't be sorry, you work yourself too hard, I understand that, you should get back and sleep"
Roxanne said, he smiled to her and glanced towards the sky.
"It looks beautiful doesn't it?"
Roxanne nodded her head and snuggled up to him.
"It sure does, I prefer you to anything in this world though"
Megamind smiled and turned his head back so he could look in her eyes, his lips pressing to hers, finding that passion once again.
They knew after a while they needed to get back, obviously Minion would be expecting them, and well Megamind needed his sleep, which still Roxanne understood, he was always up later than he should be, inventing something. They was both back at the lair, greeted by a cup of hot chocolate that Minion had just made fresh for them, after sitting together with the fire blazing in front of them, Roxanne suggested it was time for him to sleep… so that's what he did, Roxanne never needed to worry if she stayed over, they had most of her clothes there, it was practically her second home.
They both lay in the bed, snuggling closer to each other as the cold outside the covers tried creeping in, Megamind was already drifting, but Roxanne, all she had on her mind was Megamind's childhood… she stroked the side of his cheek, as if trying to comfort the child within him, trying to tell him that it was okay, she was there for him, and she always would be… she closed her eyes for a moment, letting sleep take a hold of her, until something popped into her mind disrupting that balance, her eyes snapped open and she sat herself up, her eyes connecting with the clock in front of her, 11:45pm… not that it seemed very important, what did seem important was the fact she knew she could do something about his past, there was a time machine in the lair, she could go back and change his childhood… although that was all she was thinking about, she was not taking anything else into consideration like that fact it could change a few more things along the way, but so what if it did, they would only be small changes… right?
