Okay First off this is my first Megamind fan fic, but hopfully you guys can enjoy, I don't really think it's perfect, just okay, just let me know what you think, and then it's possible I will work on the next chapter, I aim to make a few chapters ^^ Thank you and well... Enjoy!
I do not own Megamind, or anyone mentioned... That's Dreamworks amazing work, I just imagine and write (:
Roxanne yawned and turned herself over in her bed, clutching tightly to the pillow underneath her, she pushed herself up just enough to turn on the lamp on the side table, her eyes instantly shutting tight from the sudden brightness, even though it was an energy saving bulb that takes forever to get to its brightest, it still made her eyes ache… after a few moments she opened them again and looked towards the clock beside her bed… 3:18 am.
"Who on Earth?"
She spoke, annoyed at the rude awakening she yanked the covers off and stomped to her bedroom door pulling the dressing gown from the hook located on the door and tugged it on herself before making her way out her bedroom door and through the living room, her eye immediately surveying through the peephole… her brow furrowed instantly recognising the figure… she sighed and unlocked the door, only slightly as the chain gave her limited movement, which could be classed as a good thing…
"Minion? Can't it wait until morning… whatever it is?"
She questioned him; Minion shrugged his shoulders, a wave of guilt clearly washing over his face.
"Sorry, Sir's orders… uh, can I come in please, make it easy for the both of us then"
He said smiling slightly, she lightly rolled her eyes and closed the door, now if she was anybody else, she would easily slam the door, keep it locked and call the police, but no, she was not like anyone else, not that she would admit it, but she enjoyed this… although at this hour it was ridiculous. She pulled the chain off and re-opened it, leaving it to Minion, she stepped back and leaned herself against the wall.
"Could I at least get some clothes on?"
She asked him, he shook his head and at the same time pulled out the can, he pressed it a couple of times and frowned looking towards it a sort of confused look plastered across his face.
"We can't be out, this one's a new can" he reminded himself, pressing it a few more times, Roxanne watched him for a few moments, her eyes closing a few times before she moved herself to the couch in the middle of the room.
"I could easily get changed"
She mumbled to herself, pretty annoyed with the fact that she was getting kidnapped in her pyjamas.
"You know what forget it; I can change if I want"
She said standing to her feet, it was clear in her voice that she was not really going to change her mind, she walked to her bedroom, and stepped through the door, and she glanced towards Minion and rolled her eyes before closing her door.
Minion looked up to her, then back to the can, not really understanding what had just happened, he had been too busy concentrating on getting the spray to work.
"I… uh, one moment"
He tapped the side of the spray can a few times, and then he pressed the top the chloroform sprayed out and into the air, the excitement beamed in his eyes, he used his foot to kick the front door shut and he rushed across the living area pushing the door open which Roxanne not long walked into… he stopped mid way his eyes wide and a blush painted itself across his face.
"Minion close the door"
Roxanne shouted across to him, grabbing the bed covers to cover her nakedness, although it was more half nakedness, but still she did not really want him seeing her standing there with just her underwear on, she did not even need to tell him to do so, he had already slammed the door shut and stepped away, his blush still hot against his face, he tapped awkwardly against the side of the can…
The door opened and Roxanne stepped out, now covered up in a simple outfit of jeans and a white shirt, Minion greeted her with a shy smile and held the spray up to her, she gave a sigh and he pressed the top, from that point everything went dark, her eyes flickered shut and her body went limp, Minion stepped forward a little quicker than he was used to and caught her, he gently lifted her up and placed her over his right shoulder.
"Thank you for being so cooperative"
He said, though he understood that she would not hear, nor reply to him, he crossed back across her apartment and through the front door, shutting it up behind himself.
Minion had actually found it easy to get Roxanne to the invisible car this time, there was not really anyone around to notice, and well, she was not as difficult, it seemed to work out because of how sleepy she was, although… he did not expect to see that much of her… even thinking about it made him blush. Minion located the car, which was exactly where he left it, obviously expecting it to be there, he opened the side door and gently placed Roxanne on the back seat, he then got in himself, shut the door and headed for the lair.
Once arriving he parked the car in the usual place, out of view and turned to tie Roxanne up, only to find she was sitting there smirking at him, he frowned and rolled his eyes.
"I've told him to sort that little glitch out, how many times have I told him?"
He mumbled letting his own question mull over in his mind, Roxanne laughed and shook her head pretty use to this situation.
"Do you mind?"
He asked and she shook her head and moved herself to the front seat, she turned herself around and placed her arms behind her back, making sure she was comfortable as well, Minion smiled and tied them up using a simple but effective piece of rope, and did the same with her ankles.
"He expects way too much"
Roxanne said laughing slightly, Minion nodded his head and smiled, his hand coming up to the bowl as if hiding the fact he was smiling at her words, as much as them being true.
"Of course, he loves it"
He replied, Roxanne then closed her eyes to make out that she was unconscious; it would only make things easier, and well, more fun…
"Sir, I'm back, and of course, I have Miss Ritchi, just as you requested"
Minion said stepping into the main part of the lair, Megamind's face lit up and he jumped from his seat, he rushed behind one of the curtains and pulled out a chair which usually greeted Roxanne anyway, before running back and placing it in the middle of the room, he was about to sprint back to his rather large black leather chair but stopped in his tracks and seated himself down in the small chair set out for Roxanne, Minion frowned and then shook his head realising what he was doing, Megamind cocked his head to the side and used his feet to shuffle the chair a few centimetres to the right, he straightened his head and smiled, he then jumped up and turned to Minion.
"Okay set her down"
He said before rushing over to his seat, he sat himself down and straightened himself out a bit, Minion placed Roxanne down in the chair, she opened her eye a little and looked towards Minion who gently shook his head.
"One moment"
He mouthed to her; she nodded her head and once again closed her eyes, knowing that Minion was giving Megamind some more time to get himself ready, although he had all the time in the world, sort of.
"Minion, I need a brainbot, send one in, quick, she might wake up, it won't be as dramatic"
He said without turning to face him, but still Minion could hear of desperate and how quick that sentence flowed out, he smiled.
"Of course Sir, silly of me to forget that detail"
He stepped across and pressed a button on the side; a couple of brainbots instantly appearing in the room, Megamind looked towards one and pointed.
"You quick! Come to Daddy!"
He said, his voice softening, the brainbot slipped down and rested on his lap, Minion made his way back to Roxanne side and gently tapped her on her shoulder… she instantly got the hint and shifted in her seat.
"Ugh… where…"
She mumbled opening her eyes up a smirk forming on her face which she was trying her best to hide when she spoke.
"I should have known"
She said playing along; ah this was the fun part.
"At least that damn bags gone"
Minion shook his head and chuckled.
"Sorry not gone for long Miss Ritchi, in the wash"
Roxanne eyes widened and she looked up to him.
"Really, what an incredible improvement, what made that happen…?"
Minion was about to give her his reply but stopped as his eyes caught sight of Megamind who was sat staring at them both, his one brow raised and his right hand gently running along the top of the bot, his face then dropped when silence hung over the three of them.
"Minion? You was supposed to let me start the conversation, ruined it now"
He said, clearly hurt and annoyed, Minion nodded his head and mouthed a sorry, before standing straight, and Roxanne turned to look towards him, a slight smile lingering on her lips.
"I'm sorry, did we ruin your dramatic opening Daddy?"
She said winking his way… Megamind's face turned a light shade of purple and his eyes widened.
"What… wait, what are you going on about?"
He said with a laugh of embarrassment leaving his lips, clearly understanding that she had heard everything, she smirked and laughed shaking her head a couple of times.
"I'll keep it between us, don't worry about that"
She told him, Megamind stared at her for a few moments before realising he was staring and shook his head; he cleared his throat and let a smirk rise to his lips.
"Anyway…"
He said completely putting that rubbish start behind him.
"Welcome back! And this time, there is something brilliant going to happen, incredibly evil too, and you are going to have a front row seat…Again!"
Excitement was building up in his voice, he pushed to his feet, letting the brainbot leave his side, and took a few steps over to her, he stepped behind her and placed his hands on the back of the chair, his eyes towards the screen in front of them.
"Any guesses before we continue, you will never guess it"
He told her, he leaned to the side so he could look at her, determination in his eyes, pressing her to guess, she shrugged her shoulders and shook her head.
"No idea, would you like to enlighten me?"
She asked him, his face dropped disappointedly and he straightened himself up.
"Very well"
He mumbled walking towards his control panel, his right hand hovered over the top of a button, and he grinned towards Roxanne.
"Your boy friend won't be able to get this one sorted on his own, oh no…"
He said with a laugh, he let his hand drop and he pressed the button with force…. …. …. Nothing happened... there were just the sounds of brainbots occasionally going past, and breathing… Roxanne raised her brows and bit down on her lip, her eyes scanning around trying to find something different, maybe she blinked and missed it… or maybe this was for dramatic effect, as Megamind liked to call it, her blue eyes glanced back towards Megamind who was seemingly looking, well strange, a few things could be read from his expression at this moment, confusion, annoyance, anger, and well just more plain confusion.
"Minion…?"
He questioned looking towards him, trying to find an answer to the small 'slip up' that had occurred, Minion made his way over and pushed his finger down on the button a few times, once again nothing happened, he turned himself around in his bowl to look to Roxanne and then back to face Megamind, he leaned himself a little closer and signalled for Megamind to move to him, and he whispered something into his ear, Megamind face told her a few things, he certainly looked offended by whatever it was.
"Of course it's plugged in"
He shouted towards him in response, another small whisper came his way and he shook his head. "No I do not want to check"
He spat back turning away to cross his arms and pout, although in his own way he was 'secretly' checking to see it was actually plugged in. Megamind's face dropped and he glanced over to Minion who was already getting what the face was for, Minion slipped away and stood himself in front of Roxanne giving her an awkward look but the main purpose of standing in front of her was to block her vision… whilst Megamind…. Plugged the machine in. Megamind heard the generator turn on and he jumped up from behind the machine.
"Technical Glitch all sorted now"
He told them, this gave Minion the hint to move himself, so that Roxanne could see, she cocked her head to the side and smiled a little, Megamind pressed the button… and… Nothing Happened? Megamind smirked this time.
"For dramatic effect"
He said to her, a noise could be heard this time, it seemed to be getting louder, and closer and well more constant, it was an alarm… and by Megamind and Minions faces, it was not a good alarm, the screen lit up and a voice emanated from speakers.
"Evil Lair Lockdown Activated"
The voice said, repeating it every few seconds or so, Megamind seemed to go into a state of shock, not moving, not saying anything whilst Minion on the other hand spoke back to the voice.
"Uh… Lockdown Cancel, Uhm… Stop, Sir, what was the…"
Slamming, and loud crashes cut him off, as they echoed through and to them, Roxanne glanced up to Megamind who was now moving, trying his best to press buttons, pull at a few leavers and just generally not do anything…
"Evil Lair Lockdown Complete"
The voice said, once the voice's echo subsided, the computer shut off and every button that had a light or a colour shut down and turned off…
"No, no, no"
Megamind shouted a few times.
"Minion"
He shouted turning himself to face him; Minion looked towards him, a questioning look upon his face.
"Sir"
He replied a little quieter than how he had been spoken to.
"Go down and find the generator, see if you can get it online, I think the power went out as well as… well, everything else"
He said, Minion gave him a puzzled look and shook his head.
"No I'm sure the power is still with us, I mean the Li…"
He was cut short as the lights went out… leaving them in the dark, the only light source was the brainbots huddled in the corner, Minions hand instantly clasped the front of the glass bowl.
"Ooops, I'll uhm, go see"
He said before signalling to a brainbot who rushed towards him, he left through the back the brainbot leading the way…
Roxanne could not help but let one question run through her mind; ah she must have given him enough time to mull over what had happened…
"Was you supposed to lock down the lair, I mean I know what you mean when you say that my 'boyfriend' won't be able to sort this one out, because well yeah he doesn't know it's happened, so…"
Roxanne stopped her words, deciding it was best and moved her head back noting that Megamind face was now in front of her own, he eyes a little wider than before.
"Hilarious, make a joke go on, laugh about it, do what you will… but this is no laughing matter. We have no power Miss Ritchi, we need the power to have light, we need the power to have power to the controls, the powers needs to power up the controls so I can deactivate the walls that have blocked our entrances, oh forgetting to mention the fact that those walls are made from the strongest metal in the world, why not even go so far as to say the universe… those walls are deadlocked sealed, sealed from something getting in, and something getting out, we cannot get out, nor anyone can get in, oh and that's not the worst thing about it, oh no"
He said pointing up towards something, his eyes not moving away from hers the whole time. Roxanne looked up following the direction he has pointed and all she could see was a metal generator, or something, she looked back to him and raised her brows.
"What is it?"
"The oxygen source"
Megamind told her.
"And guess what? That also needs power"
Megamind was now moving himself back and seating himself down in his leather chair.
"The oxygen source, wait you mean now that, that is off, we have no way of getting oxygen?"
Roxanne asked him, he nodded his head a few times to confirm her words; she took in a breath and shook her head.
"Well, we will be fine won't we? Minion will find the generator soon, turn it on, then we will be okay"
She was starting to worry now, the fact that oxygen could run out was something anyone would worry about… Megamind shook his head and sighed.
"The generator won't work"
He said leaning his head back.
"What do you mean?"
She asked him, waiting as patiently as she could for the answer even though patience at this point was really not her friend.
"It's a fake, so to speak, never got it working, never really thought it would be needed"
He said to her, she gave him a frown and shook her head.
"Why, why would you not think of something like that, look how easy it was to lock down your lair, I should be in bed, asleep, not worrying about how much oxygen I have"
She said her voice starting to rise.
"Why did you send him, if you knew it would not be working?"
"Because I could not bring myself to tell him that if the reason behind this lockdown is not found, then we will die"
He said to her, his voice was calmer than she had ever heard it before, almost comforting, but that also meant all that he was saying, all that he was telling her, was the truth.
"We need oxygen Miss Ritchi, more so than he does, if you have not noticed, I…"
He paused and let his head hang.
"I don't want to worry him; he does enough of that without this adding"
Megamind said to her, his tone quite but still she could make out what he was saying, and well she could understand him too… she watched him silently for a moment and sighed deeply.
"Could you untie me please?"
Roxanne questioned, he looked up to her completely forgetting the fact that she was actually tied to the chair, he stood to his feet, and walked over to her and started at the bonds tying her ankles together, he pulled at the rope and they fell off, he then pulled off the rope around her wrists and she moved them forwards, rubbing her wrists gently… she paused and glanced up to him, just as he was standing back up.
"Megamind?"
Megamind met her eyes and awaited her question.
"What do you mean by if the reason behind this is not found… you mean someone… or something caused this to happen…?"
Megamind watched her for a moment then nodded, taking in a soft breath before giving his reply.
"The system was created a while back, I'm not sure I can even remember how it works myself"
He said with a soft laugh and a shake of his head, before continuing.
"But from what I can remember there is a sort of system running through the whole of the lair, if anything way out of the ordinary is located by one of the daily scans then the whole place will go into lockdown, until that threat, if you want to call it… is eliminated, it's like a computer virus and a computer virus system, it does these daily scans when there is no one around, and usually if something has been detected then it would give a warning"
"Well how would you get rid of the threat?"
"Well first you would need to have it located, which should be done by the system itself, and then it would well… destroy it"
"Then why has it not done it already?"
Roxanne asked him, instantly shooting questions his way once an opportunity came, he sighed and shook his head.
"Because we are here, well that should be the reason. The system is supposed to do scans when there is no life forms around, the fact that it done this when we were here is rare, meaning this certain threat, is not living, but it's not machine either… and the fact that it never warned us it not good either, that means that the system was shut down way before it could do so… which means…"
Roxanne lowered her head and raised her hand, causing him to go silent.
"Please, don't. That will do"
Roxanne said looking up to him.
"My mind can only take in so much"
Although it was more that she was terrified, she was not planning on telling him though, she needed to stay strong; she was strong after all…
"What do we need to do now?"
Roxanne asked him hoping that he had an answer, he watched her closely, taking note on that word 'we' it sounded a little strange but still.
"We can't do anything until tomorrow"
"Why not, we need to do something?"
Her head quickly shot in his direction, shaking, she stood to her feet and made her way over to the console, she turned back to him.
"Can you stop being so depressive, and help out, please Megamind, you're the only one who knows what to do, just stop it"
Roxanne shouted, melting down against the console and finally seating herself on the cold floor, he had never really handled a situation like this before, and well if he was honest with himself, it was much harder than he had thought not that he had thought about it that much. What do you do when girls get like this…? And now... she's crying, even worse, what do you do when a girl is crying?
Megamind shuffled uncomfortably in his place, opening his mouth a few times to speak, but deciding not to, he could only see her through the shadows, her head was buried into her knees, her arms wrapped around them… Roxanne knew she needed to stay strong but it was overwhelming, and she was trying to hide it… But then again…
"I don't like the dark"
She whispered in a low tone, Megamind frowned and stepped closer to her.
"You don't like the dark?"
He questioned her, just to make sure he had heard her correctly, she nodded her head, from Megamind's point it seemed like nod anyway, which meant he could understand. He sucked in a deep breath and let his hands folded into each other.
"Why don't you sit down, I'll get a brainbot for you, might make you feel a bit better"
Megamind said to her, she looked up towards him her eyes red from the tears and she gently nodded her head she was not planning on arguing with his words, in all honestly that was the best plan he had come up with, she leaned up and grabbed the side of the leather chair before pulling herself up and curling up in it, her legs resting underneath herself. Megamind's whistle echoed and a light instantly made its way towards him.
"Stay with Miss Ritchi"
He ordered, the brainbot was by her side, shuffling itself under her arm to get close.
"Oh and no biting, I'm going to see if I can find Minion, he might have figured that I was not really giving him the truth about something by now, I won't be long"
Megamind told her, Roxanne watched him, and from what he could see she was terrified, her eyes wide.
"You'll be fine; the brainbot will look out for you"
He mumbled, realising that was the wrong thing to say now he was giving her something else to worry about, she could have taken it another way, like something was coming to get her, or was it? Could have been a good way to tell her she was safe, but still that could still go back to being the first thought…
Megamind turned himself away and walked in the direction, from what he could see anyway. He could only remember that this was the route Minion took not so long ago... Roxanne let his words run through her mind at least trying to keep her at peace, quite and comfortable she would be alone, her eyes closed, and she pulled the brainbot closer to her body, keeping in mind that it could bite; she kept her hands away keeping to the top, knowing that the brainbot was her only company until Megamind returned. Before long she was drifting off into a sleep.
A review would be nice. (: If not, I hope you enjoyed enough to read to the end ^^
