Megamind knew he had to take over the town, and Roxanne would support him privately even if she couldn t do it publically. This was the strangest feeling. Roxanne liked him, but it was their different careers. So obviously she had considered being his evil queen.
The police see Megamind's swagger and were even more scared because for once there was no pretence. He started of. Where was his favourite reporter? She was not around to ask piercing questions. Still the speech was okay he thought, possibly not quite evil enough.
Still, he couldn't do much more than this, but taking over the town hall was necessary, and now it was time for some evil fun.
"Roxanne, tell me the story isn't true?" Abigail pleaded. Roxanne sighed, she'd like to lie, but in the end it was best to be honest. "A half truth, Abby. True but missing the essential point. Megs and I are very ethical people, even if he always tries to make it seem as evil as possible."
"Point taken but try convincing anyone else here about that. I at least know he's not quite as evil as he makes out, since he saved me from Metro Man's endangerment. But are you saying you two never slipped from the roles of kidnapper and victim into 'evil' date."
"Minion always interrupted at that point." Roxanne stated/
"Even if the weapons weren't ready." Abigail realised. "And then Megamind uses the safety word."
"Very funny." Roxanne glared at Abigail, even if in some ways this interpretation was true. Abigail continues "So what about what he's done lately?"
"What's Megamind actually done?" Roxanne pointed out. "Made threats we know he won't carry out, painted the town halls dome blue, and in an act of not thinking about the consequences stolen all the money. The last would matter less if not for the first. And I'd have been as bad as the rest if I hadn't noticed the stitch up."
"Really?"
"If I had a crush on Megamind, how heartbroken would I be if he turned out to be as bad as everyone says he is.""
"You can't deny you have a crush on the supervillain any more, even if you were never going to act on it. Smart girl."
"I'm scared about what to do. I'm being pulled two ways. A part of me wants me to throw Meg's under the bus, because it's the best for me. But my ethics say that's wrong."
"As does your attraction and the offer he's always given you. You'd make a really good evil queen Roxanne."
"You think I don't know that, but being his evil queen is wrong."
"So's throwing him under the bus."
"Exactly, Abby. I tried to get him out of this frame up, but who's actually going to listen to the supervillain's girl."
"You are, you know. Even if you were both too ethical to act on it there were enough leaks from both of you for it to be obvious as soon as people stopped seeing you as Metroman's girl."
"Don't remind me of either of those facts, Abby."
"A frequent kidnapping card, and his obviously sudden withdrawal of it when he realised it would compromise you."
Roxanne grimaced. She should have realised why he'd withdrawn that. She was obviously so off her game only pure luck had got her to notice the stitch up.
Minion sighed, Things were bad enough in his friends lives that he'd had to reveal he had already designed evil-queen outfits, and it could get a lot worse. It was time to work out the kinks. Probably eliminate the spiked collars. As much as it would work, and both his friends would want that, it gives the wrong message. If Roxanne's going to be an evil queen, it needs to be shown as her choice. Even if the citizens of Metrocity force her into it.
The invisible cloth could useful, and the capes can counter-act nudity to an extent. And it's expected of an evil queen to be darkly and seductively beautiful, to be a temptress If you're going to be a seductive evil queen, look like one. While a cat suit would work, he doubted Roxanne would be willing to wear it.
Still it had to be Roxanne's choice, which one she'd get. And being an evil queen she might want more than one outfit. Hell Megamind did and one of these was only really suitable for the bedroom. As much as Roxanne enjoyed the temptress role, Minion doubted she'd go that far. He'd keep it in the choices though.
