"Sir you need to see this!" Minion yelled and turned back to the TV. Megamind ran into the room and jumped over the couch, turning to his sidekick.
"What happened? Was Metro man defeated by someone else?" "No, worse. Miss Ritchi got hurt." Megamind's eyes darted to the screen. A male
reporter was discussing what happened. "Now we continue to Teresa who's on scene at the hospital." "Thanks Tom. I'm here at the Metro city
hospital with many other reporters as we try to find out just what happened to Roxanne Ritchi. The camera focused on a man behind a podium.
"Miss Ritchi was caught in a bad thunderstorm on the lake during a broadcast. The boat was said to have tipped over and everyone on board was
dumped out. Miss Ritchi is currently in intensive care. No more questions." "Back to you Tom." "Well it sounds like Miss Ritchi will be in the hospital
for awhile and is not allowed to have anyone bother her. Now we continue-" Minion turned off the TV and looked to see Megamind leaving the room.
"Sir, where are you going?" "To see Miss Ritchi." "But she isn't allowed to have visitors." The blue alien raised an eyebrow. "Minion you seem to
forget that we are evil. And evil doesn't follow rules. Are you coming?" "Yes Sir." The aliens arrived disguised as hospital staff members. Megamind
hacked into the computer system and quickly found Roxanne's room number. "Head to the elevator Minion. She's in room 301." "Sir what if-" "Just
go Minion!" "Alright alright!"
The two aliens make their way up to the room.
Roxanne had several machines buzzing and beeping around her bed. Megamind frowned and stood next to her as he switched off his disguise.
"These machines aren't even necessary. Roxanne's just fine. All their doing is jacking up her hospital bill. Minion, remove these infernal things." The
fish switched off his own disguise and obeyed his master. Megamind pulled a chair up next to the reporters bed and gently took her hand. "If only
you had listened to me when I warned you. Then again it was during a kidnapping and I am the villain. You were too stubborn to listen. Now you
have to concentrate on getting better." Minion stood on the other side of the bed. "Careful Sir. She could wake at any minute." "Yes Minion, good
observation. I think ill head down to the cafeteria and get us something to eat. Maybe they'll have doughnuts!" "Hurry back Sir." The blue villain
stood and disappeared out the door. Minion took Roxanne's hand gently and sighed. "You have no idea how much Sir loves you. He would give his
own life to ensure your safety. I wish there was a way things could change so you two would have a chance." At that moment Roxanne stirred and
her eyes opened.
