'Can today be any worse?' I screamed inside my brain as I furiously trudged to my apartment, I didn't think that I really needed a car since my job was just a walking distance, or used to be.
A crackle of thunder and a flash of lightning answered for me, "This is just freaking great!" I exclaimed, throwing my hands in the air before reluctantly stepping out into the pouring rain.
"First, I lose my job and this. Stupid weather men, is nothing ever right with this city?" I grumbled under my breath, shivering and drenched from the fact that I hadn't brought a jacket, much less an umbrella.
'Channel 5 News is going to regret that he ever considered firing m-' My thoughts were broken as I slammed hard against something metal, knocking me down backward flat on my butt onto the sidewalk.
I groaned, shaken by what the heck had just happened, and gazed up to the empty street, "What the?"
Trying to regain my balance, I pulled my self together. Managing to stand straight, I stared intently at the strip of road in front of me, barely catching the outline of the object I had slammed against.
I slowly stepped forward, stretching my arms out in front of me, until my hands came into contact with a cold, wet metal, "What the heck?" I whispered as I felt around its slippery surface.
I stopped when my hand felt an indent of some kind. Pushing my hand in deeper, I noticed there was a piece could be moved. I tugged forward, opening a door to what seemed to be the inside of a car, "An…invisible…car?"
I scanned the area, hoping someone was around, "Um, Hello?" I called out over the rain, "Did anyone, um, misplace there invisible car?"
Noticing nobody here or anyone answering me, I crawled inside the car, taking a deeper look and hoping to find some information there. As soon as I managed to shut the car door, everything beeped to life at once, "Where to Megamind?" The friendly automatic voice spoke up asking me.
'Megamind? This is Megamind's car?' I was utterly speechless, "Uh…"
"Setting directions for Home." The friendly voice responded to my bright comment and took off in an instant.
I was just about to say otherwise, but then it hit me, 'This could be my lucky break. A cover story on Megamind and all of his most deepest, darkest secrets would be my ticket back in. I would be a way better reporter then Roxanne Ritchie could only dream of.'
I smirked at the devilish thought as the car had come to slow stop, "Welcome home."
What stood before me was the vault of all his secrets, the inside of his secret lair. It was filled with all the gizmos and gadgets that you could imagine a super villain having.
I stepped out amazed beyond belief, 'This is," I began speechless, but a grin slowly crept its way across my face, "Amazing! I'm going to be the greatest reporter ever!" I exclaimed until a loud creak from across the room told me otherwise.
I whipped my shocked to see Megamind standing at the door. I scrambled to the other side of the car hoping he didn't notice me at all, "Okay, Minion!" He yelled, "You were right! I was.. less right!"
'Minion? Who is Minion? Is he taking about the robot fish?' I noted.
"We should stick to what were good at…being bad." He continued sounding embarrassed.
'I wonder what happened between them to make him so upset.' I thought.
"Minion?" He pleaded again and I didn't even mumble a word not wanting to be found.
There was a very long pause. I was to curious not to know what was going on and I barely tilted my head from around the car peering at him, 'What is he just standing there?' I thought puzzled.
He unexpectedly whistled, summoning about thirty blue tiny flying robots, "You there." He pointed demandingly to one. It stared at him as if saying, 'me?' and the other robot thrust him forward, "Yeah you." It slowly hovered forward, "Bring out the Black Mumba." He commanded and they followed and flew off towards my direction.
Out of panic, I slammed my back against the car hoping none of them caught sight of me with there mechanical eyes, but I unfortunately caused the car to jolt, catching the attention of one of them.
I gasped, terror racking my body and instinctively bound out from behind the car in clear view of both Megamind and the robots.
I mad a break for it as soon as my eyes made contact with his, "You there, stop!" He ordered, but I didn't have much of a choice since the robots had cornered me, snatched me by the arms and dragged me directly to him, "Who are you?" He demanded.
"I'm sorry, I found your, uh, car and I didn't know who it belonged to and-"
"That doesn't answer my question." He retorted interrupted me.
"Jay Lakeview from Channel 5 news. Look, I'm really sorry about everything and I thought if I came here that-"
"You'd what? Drain me of whatever Roxanne Ritchie left; make me feel anymore like a smaller person?" He coldly snapped at me sounding almost heartbroken.
'Him and Ritchie had a thing?' I realized, "No, what? What are you even talking about?"
He grunted, "Now you know too much. I can't let you leave."
I gasped, "What are you going to do to me?"
He was silent, as if thinking hard about it, and then grunted once more, "Nothing, for now. I'm late, I have too much to do." He replied striding off as the robots followed close by dragging me with them.
"Late for what?" I pried hoping to get some information.
He smirked devilishly after realizing his robots had no idea what to do with me, "To take down the Titian. Tie her up boys, make sure she can't escape."
They understood and hauled me away. I could still hear his maniacal laughter echo through the whole hideout.
