Welcome to my second MM story here. It won't be a sequel to my first story (which won't have a sequel) but I promise to try and make it just as good. Practically, this story starts after the events of the episode 'Lair, lair', so there will be spoilers all over. I got this idea after watching the episode and will be an AU continuation of that episode. That being said, I hope to get a bit of feedback for this story, so I know how to improve and what you guys think of this. It's just a chort chapter to start with, but I still hope you...

...Enjoy!

He was laying on something hard.

When he opened his eyes, he knew immediately where he was: three hundred miles bellows Mighty Med. He recognized it because of the small space in the rectangular rooms, in which he now was laying. He got up, and touched the force field, which made an out-of-tune noise. Only then, he noticed the three people standing there.

Oliver Pyne, the smarter of the two Normos who once had been his sidekick. Kaz Gordon, the dumber of the two who idolized him. Skylar Storm, the superhero who recently got her powers and his colleague when it came to serving the Annihilator.

"Let me out of here," Tecton said with a powerful voice. Oliver and Kaz leaned back because of the power, but Skylar didn't flinch. She just stood there, arms crossed, strict look in her eyes… she was good at acting like she was a hero. She shook her head.

"We got you, Tecton," she said, "After I caught you trying to steal those powers and hide them somewhere safe, I beat you and we discovered you were a mole all along." Tecton put his best evil look on and glared at the three teens before him.

"I should've known you were too clever to see past my lies." Skylar shrugged and gave him a smile you'd give to the person you were working with but the others didn't need to know that.

"Why, dude, why!" Kaz almost shouted before Oliver had placed a hand before his best friend's mouth. Tecton sighed.

"I can't help it! It was the Annihilator; he did this to me!" He tried to sound convincing, and he did. He had tried to not only sound convincing, but like the victim. And he was pretty good at it. He might have considered taking a course on acting when saying that, but his top priority was escaping, freeing the Annihilator and dominate the world.

"We can't help him now, Kaz," Oliver said, "We don't know how we can save him. For now, we just have to wait and hope Horace can get rid of whatever is making him believe he's working for the Annihilator." They talked with each other, too, before finally leaving Skylar alone with Tecton. He hadn't been listening to their Normo talk anyway, but he was waiting for those to leave so he and Skylar could have a talk. When they were sure the Normos and anybody else wouldn't be able to hear them talk, she gave him an evil grin.

"Thanks for joining us," she said. He shrugged.

"It's not like I had much a choice, but I'm glad you did this to me. It feels good… even better than being a good person."

"For now, you'll have to wait. I'll tell you what you'll have to do when the Annihilator has come up with a plan to succeed in our schemes." Tecton nodded and saw how Skylar just walked away from him without saying goodbye. Okay, he might just have turned evil, but that didn't mean Skylar could just boss him around. He sighed and sat down on the cold hard plate that was supposed to be his bed. He should give the staff a suggestion: softer, nicer beds. That could help a lot and make a prisoner's life at least a little enjoyable.

"Hey, you!" a too familiar voice shouted from ten meters next to him. "You're lucky to have the Skylar Storm visit you! Last time, those Normos visited just my cellmates. Nobody's coming for me!" Tecton sighed. He had hoped to never hear that voice again, but they are sworn enemies and would probably meet him more.

"Shut up, Leslie! I'm trying to think over here!" A long time, there came no response. Tecton almost laughed – how he'd wish to see Megahertz's face right now! – but decided not to, so he wouldn't offend his fellow villain.

"Tecton?" came the surprised answer, "Is that you?"

"Who else could it be?" he replied, and another silence followed. Tecton guessed Megahertz needed time to process all this information. He was part cyborg, after all, so he hoped he didn't just fry his circuits with telling him he was at the Mighty Max. Hopefully Leslie understood Tecton was here as a prisoner, and by hearing his laughs Tecton guessed Leslie understood.

"You? A prisoner?" was what Megahertz could say about it between the laughs. Tecton rolled his eyes, not wanting to wait until Megahertz was done with laughing.

"Are you almost done?" he asked the villain, sounding very bored. Eventually, Megahertz stopped laughing and continued to interrogate his number one nemesis. Tecton didn't like that, but it was better than hear your nemesis laugh at a failure/success.

"Why are you here?" Tecton shrugged, even though Megahertz wouldn't be able to hear it.

"Same old, same old. I was caught trying to steal superpowers from the Annihilator. I won't say more."

"What is wrong with you?" Tecton clearly could hear the confusion and the disbelief in Megahertz's voice. He was probably confused because it was Tecton of all people who had tried to steal those powers, and the disbelief was 'cause he had tried to steal from the Annihilator. He used those two emotions to tell him indirectly he had gone crazy because you just don't steal from the Annihilator, who has countless deaths on his name, and not only heroes and Normos have died because of him.

"Nothing is wrong with me, Leslie," Tecton said, "I'm feeling better than ever, that's all!"

"Don't call me Leslie!" Megahertz shouted back.

"You can't hurt me," Tecton replied with a taunting voice and then just ignored his nemesis. There were others things that required his focus. Like that one important mission Skylar indirectly told him about. He was trying to figure out what they expected him to do, when and where and also why. That 'why' was asked by the small part inside of him that was still good.

Tecton ignored that good part and started scheming.

Also, Happy Halloween!
