Note: This is a follow up ficlet from Code: Get Cat (explaining in detail how Metroman got the cat). If you like this story, let me know and I can write more chapters. Right now it's a stand alone but might expand. :) Thank you for reading and I hope it makes you smile!
Metroman flew back to his sanctuary, the old elementary school house that he moved to a remote location, complete with ocean view.
While flying, Metroman pondered over the events of his day. He had stopped a train from speeding out of control, saved three people who had fallen off a window cleaning platform 60 stories up and thwarted Megamind's latest evil plan. This particular Megamind adventure was a bit more troublesome than usual, as it involved several large robots (versus one) and at least four lasers, three flame throwers and one plasma gun. Metroman sighed wearily, looking forward to going home and relaxing.
While hanging up his cape, Metroman detected an evil presence. His super scent was overwhelmed, almost causing him to reel over in horror. What was that abominable stench? A smell so bad that he, a fearless superhero, wanted to run away!
A ball of white fur started to rub up against his leg, startling Metroman from the assault upon his nasal senses.
"Mew!" purred Metromew, the latest addition to Metroman's home. Metromew was acquired from Megamind's evil lair and had taken up residency with Metroman.
"What is that smell?" Metroman inquired out loud. He picked up Metromew, who purred loudly at the attention, and started to wander around the house. The source of evil was sitting on his floor. The stench was almost visible.
The litter box.
"How.. how do you do it?" Metroman asked Metromew. "How does something so cute and furry like you produce something so evil, so iincredibly evil/i that I do not have the power to destroy it? My laser eyes, my super strength, my ability to move at the speed of light; none of these help me in the battle against your litter box."
In response to the accusations made against him, Metromew chirruped sweetly back at Metroman.
Sighing, Metroman plopped his cat onto the floor and used his super speed to quickly change out the litter box, put up an air freshener, and refill the food dish. He once tried utilizing his laser beam eyes to destroy the litter, but that resulted in an even messier disaster.
Chores complete, Metroman slumped onto the couch and turned on the television. His cat jumped up and started sharpening its claws on his tights, pulling the threads loose and getting snagged on the fabric.
Pulling the cat away from his now-destroyed tights, Metroman looked Metromew square in the face. "It's a good thing you are so cute, little buddy, because if Megamind ever found out about your evil powers, it would be my undoing."
