Hey! This is my first fanfic ever and I really hope you would leave me some reviews and feedback how to develop better writer etc. I'm sure there's some problems with language and grammar 'cause english not my native language but I hope my text is understandable.

This story was inspired by these songs:

Coldplay - Viva la Vida

Evanescence - My Immortal

...

Megamind was sitting in front of his workbench and thinking furiously, tapping his pen against the surface of the table. It had been weeks since he had last time kidnapped Roxanne Ritchi and to be honest he hadn't any idea when there would be the next time.

The last couple months he had felt more blue than ever before in his entire life. He had thought all kinds of occurrences in his life but especially last seven years, the period when the kidnappings had started to these days. It all had started to appear for him in a new light and that wasn't a good light. The more he had thought those years to more it started to show there wasn't a point in his actions, had there ever been? All those encounters followed everytime the same scheme; abduct Miss Ritchi, tie her in the chair, reveal your new brilliant evil plan how to destroy her dumbass boyfriend, have some witty banter with her and try to make her scream, call Metro Man and try to defeat him with your new weapon, screw up and get hauled back to the jail by him, escape from the prison and start to plot a new evil scheme..

Yes, it was always like that, every time, but the worst thing was that he always lose, always. So, what was the point to continue? He let out a deep sigh, furrowed his brow and let the pencil drop from his hand.

"What's the point?" He muttered quietly. He couldn't deny Roxanne was one reason why he had kept on going this game so long time. These encounters were his only chance to see her, to say something to her, to touch her skin briefly when tying her wrists and ankles. He couldn't deny he liked that woman from her appearance to her quick-witted attitude. He liked how she dedicated to her work and all other things. He was secretly impressed by her nosy reporter skills although he would never ever let her know that. He really liked Roxanne. She was a perfect little package. She was fantastic, fascinating and unique lady. The girl of his dreams.. And then there was that Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes her beloved boyfriend who always saved the day, kicked his ass and flashed that oversize smile of his all over the place and everybody was cheering.. "Stupid Mr. Perfect hair.."

"Sir?" Said the careful voice behind him and he jumped a little in his black leather chair letting out a little scream while falling from his deep thoughtful mind and turning the chair around.

"Minion! Stop sneaking around and scaring me!" He snapped panting a little bit and holding a right hand on top of his chest trying to calm down the wild heartbeat. "What do you want?"

"I just.. Is everything all right?" The fish continued with a small tentative voice, touching his metallic fingertips nervously. "It's been awhile from last kidnapping. It just isn't your style to prolong encounters this much.. Is there something I should know?" Minion stared Megamind his eyes full of worry and anxiety.

'Oh crap' Megamind thought quietly. Of course he should have realize that Minion would notice that everything wasn't all right. He had been so withdrawn and wasn't creating, sketching, building or planning like usually. In fact he hadn't invented anything new in weeks or hadn't furiously written his scenarios down and hanging up to his idea cloud. What should he do? He didn't want to make him worry but he also didn't want to lie to him. He was his best friend. His only friend. His companion who take good care of him. He wasn't sure he could have made it so far without him. It wasn't helping that Minion was staring at him with those big sad brown eyes full of urge to know what was going on in his master's big blue head.

"I'm sorry Minion, I just.. I got scared." He apologized humbly, a little hint of melancholy in his voice.

That wasn't natural for Megamind to apologize without any arguments or excuses. Everything really wasn't okay. "I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have approach you without giving any sign." Minion said, even he know his metallic gorilla body suit could keep such a loud voice only a deaf couldn't hear it.

"What's wrong Sir?" he asked again with a gentle voice and pleading eyes, smiling sincerely.

'Ok, he wouldn't give up until he get some kind of answer.' Megamind pondered and started to formulate a reply in his large brain. Minion was his best friend however so why he couldn't tell the truth?

"Minion, I'm got so bored in these kidnappings.. They're always so similar.. I.. I just don't see any point to continue those episodes.. I'm so tired of planning these encounters because I.. I never win." His last sentence was barely a whisper and he turned his chair slowly back towards the table like it was before Minion came to disturb his pitiful thoughts. Megamind was wrong when he thought revealing his deepest sentiments would help him feel better. He was so wrong, he felt much worse. The rock wasn't fell from his heart. He felt so miserable. He felt he was nothing. He was so tired of everything.

"Maybe we could figure out some new plan how to destroy Metro Man without Miss Ritchi. Something bigger and evil with explosives and spikes?" Minion tried to cheer his boss up with enthusiastic and gleeful attitude of his.

Megamind heard only one sentence 'Without Miss Ritchi..' If there wasn't kidnappings there wouldn't be Roxanne. The only point of these encounters was to see her. If he quit kidnappings his only chance to see her was on TV or public events in the city which he would try to ruin. He didn't know what to do. He felt he could find some hole, crawl there and start to wait death. He was trapped.

When Minion noticed his boss wasn't reacting he added "Or maybe we could arrange one last grand kidnapping. Everyone would recall it. After that we could focus on new plans how to destroy Metro Man."

When he said that Megamind's face brighten up and a smile crept in his features. 'That's it. That's the answer' he thought. He would put in order one last kidnapping. It would be shocking, dramatic and memorable. Such a presentation.

"Minion, you fantastic fish you!" he cried out and jumped in fish's lap with a smooth movement. "What would I do without you?" he grinned and pushed his forehead against the glass dome of his lifelong friend.

Minion hold him against his furry gorilla body being careful not to hurt him fragile little body. "Anything for you Sir." he said quietly staring at Megamind's amazing wide green eyes with his brown ones. "Anything for you."

Hugging him one last time Megamind jumped back to ground and returned to his workbench, starting scheming furiously the last one grand kidnapping.

Minion was happy his master was cheerful again and acted more normal than before. He left Sir planning and continued household works he had started before. If he had known what would be Megamind's role in the last kidnapping he wouldn't be so cheerful.
