Chapter one: Vacations
The sound of small steps all around the dark house going up and downstairs gave the creepy building a warm air. Three little girls were preparing for their first real vacations in their whole lives. Back when they were in the orphanage they couldn't even dream for something like that, even the last outside trip they had done was to pick litter on the side of a road in order to get more funds. But this time they were for real to a leisure trip with a real father. They were finally part of a real family.
Margo, the oldest one, was busy checking in a list if everything was in the luggage. The next in age Edith, was stubbornly hitting her backpack to make sure all her clothing fits inside. And the youngest Agnes was hesitant for which of her stuffed unicorn to bring to the voyage.
A week ago they were informed by their new father Gru that since summer vacations were about to start, it would be nice for the four of them to actually do some activities as a normal family. After stealing and returning the moon to its place he was nominated one more time for Villain of the Year, which gave him a lot of jobs.
The three girls had gotten used to the villainous actions of their tutor because they knew he was a good man with them. It was all that mattered over the fact that he'd been stealing works of art, strange lab experiments, illegal engaged species and such. Even when the bank of evil was pressing him too much for the loan to be paid, they had decided to go to Metro City, there was going to be the inauguration of a theme park the girls wanted to visit. And they deserved it, as last school year since adopted hadn't been an easy one.
"Ok gurls, it's time." The tall bald man showed himself by the frame of the girls' room door. He had waited enough for his 'kittens' to go downstairs. The taxi was already parked at the main entrance. Edith complaint she couldn't put everything inside her bag. Then Gru approached to realize his daughter wanted to take the freeze ray with her. "No no no, you can't bring dhees."
"Aww, dad. What if we want to blow another shoot-em all game?" Bluffed blond girl of the pink hat while her father put the device some part inside the gray jacket he was wearing.
"Mr. Gru's right. It's not in the list and you promised this trip to be a normal one." Margo scolded her sister while passing by with two suitcases according her size pulled behind her. Edith only grunted and closed her now not-so-tight backpack.
"Let's go Agnus." The smallest girl surrounded of stuffed unicorns was left behind with a frown; the other two had headed towards the taxi. She couldn't pick one of her toys. Then Gru gave her a fast lesson of Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, and the girl chose at the end the same unicorn her dad had won for her in a shot the space invaders game, one year ago.
A large group of genetically modified corn kernels were waiting for them in the living room. Some of them were cheering, some others on the verge of tears. And surrounded by them an old man wearing goggles, black gloves, and a lab coat was smile plastered on his face.
"Have fun in Metro City." Said the old geezer to Gru, and then added in a whisper. "And don't forget to call me if something comes up."
Gru nodded with a serious expression, and then he heard the calling of Margo and Edith from the taxi which was ready to depart. Some of the corn kernels were hugging Agnes, who was holding the strange dog like named Kyle and not wanting to let it go. Gru had to pull the little girl by the legs for making his 'minions' to release her. Also he had to pull Kyle from the girl. He waved a last good bye to Nefario. Then Gru closed the door behind him to ride the taxi, carrying the little black haired girl in one arm and a big suit case in the other.
"Why aren't we going in the ship?" Edith complained for the umpteenth time when the car stopped in the airport entrance. She was talking about Gru's plane, a ship made with the same design than his car, a winged tank made of silver colored plates. It could be easier to travel by air with it, and they didn't have to walk carrying the baggage from the taxi to the airport.
"Because Margo thinks it's more normal to pick a plane." Agnes answered with her innocent tone, yet minding her own discomfort. Her dad hadn't let her to carry her own bag where her unicorn was inside. The aforementioned sister rolled the eyes, feeling embarrassed that Gru had actually followed her idea. Not to say he was wearing that ridiculous Jamaican costume of the colorful hat with dreadlocks and some John Lennon like glasses. The airport wasn't a safe place for a world wide known villain like Gru, he had to take even more safety measures now that his beloved three children were with him. He was not only dressed as someone else, he also had registered for the flight as a Mr. John Who. Also his always reliable weaponry was hidden with a special force field that could dumb any airport checkpoint in the world.
Once landing they went directly to the Great Hotel of Metro City. An amazing building with forty floors filled with luxury. The girls had never been in a place like that. It had a wide reception room where the walls were covered with fine details. The waiting room housed XVII century chairs and a huge fish tank filled with sea fauna. Agnes immediately ran towards the 'little Nemo' that captivated her in a glimpse. From the hotel restaurant the clatter of guest cutlery and the smell of grilled beef made Edith drool. The bellboys took care of their baggage as they left it on the floor.
"Are you sure you can afford all this?" Margo carefully questioned his tutor, since she knew they had some money issues. The original idea was to lodge in a three starts hotel in the outsides of the city that couldn't bring attention towards the villain's family.
"Yes, everything ees covered, don't worry my kittn'" Gru smiled in a wicked way. Now he was wearing a dark blue suit with the red tie Edith had given him last Christmas. His disguise of rich entrepreneur was completely different of what Margo was used to see on him. She shivered with the idea of Gru being other thing than a villain or a caring father. The man signed the reservation once again under the name of John Who and patted his daughter. He was proud of Margo's vacations plan and happy to finally be able to share some quality time with the girls.
After unpacking in the room 509, the girls realized it was their first time in a hotel room. The place was as fine as the reception was. It had an old dressing table next to the door, and a yakuzi in the bathroom. There was a big king size bed with blue blankets in the right side of the room. That's where the girls were going to stay, while Gru sleeps in a individual size bed next to them. He simply didn't want his daughters to sleep by themselves in another room. The girls found also a balcony with a wide view of the recently rebuilt Tower of Metro City and the rest of the city itself, but their father didn't let them open the glass door. He reasoned out that it was dangerous for children. After all they were in the fifth floor.
The inauguration of the theme park was going to be the next day, so they had time for paying a visit to the city zoo and for get dinner somewhere near. For Margo, Edith and Agnes, their fist day of vacations was just perfect.
That same night while the three girls were comfortably cuddled each other in the hotel room. A shadow showed crunching to the wall of the Metro City Museum.
It was the shadow of a tall bald man dressed in black. He was wearing a pair of green goggles held on his face by his sharp nose, a jacket, and a belt which was filled with some mysterious rounded devices. The moonlight passed over this man as he plugged in his laptop to the alarm box. His short fingers started to dance on the keyboard. A beeping noise let him know the museum alarm had been deactivated. Shortly after, he placed a clawed glove on the surface of one of the large windows that decorated the facade of the building. Twisting his wrist, his palm formed a circle on the glass. It separated smoothly from the surface leaving a hole. His hand had enough space for opening the locked window from the inside.
Once he entered into the museum, everything was going according to plan. He ran towards the section of itinerant exposition, avoiding carefully the cameras. His goggles allowed him to have night vision so he didn't have worry about tripping, but his pacing descended while noticing his shoes were making squeaking noises with every step on the polished wood floor. He passed by some Greek statues and by a couple of pop art collages. None of the rest of the site pieces of art where important because he had come to that city aiming at one specific exposition. He found it inside a wide room. White walls where adorned with the collection of Van Gogh's sunflowers among others that were going to be exposed up until tomorrow. Gru smiled as his eyes shun. These pictures were going to fix his money issues and clean his villain pride after what he used to call the moon's fiasco. He checked his watch; it was one minute to midnight. He stood still leaning on the opposite wall, across to the paint about some yellow flowers. This was going to be the robbery of the century.
Author note: Uhm..well...hi. First of all this is my first story in this site, I've been reading fics here for a while but never had the guts for writing something. So, after watching Despicable Me and Megamind movies, I realized there're a lot of coincidences between them (seriously, even the narrative is similar). I looked for more crossover fics about them in here, but not finding more than what you can count with the fingers of a hand, I decided to write one by myself.
