Okay by popular demand I'm giving you guys not 1, but 2 more chapters on "Thank you". To be completely honest I had no idea this would get so popular! XD Thanks for all the support! I hope you guys like it!
"Are you alright, sir? You seem distracted today." Minion commented when he walked into Megamind's work space.
Megamind looked up at his fish friend "Mmm? Oh yes, yes I'm fine Minion." he told him looking back to his work.
Minion raised an eyebrow not buying a word of it. "Then why are you letting the Brain-bots chew on your cape?" he asked suspiciously.
"GAAH!" Megamind cried retracting his cape from the bots. "No! No chewing on daddy's cape!" he said scolding them. They barked then zoomed off.
"Is there something on your mind, sir?" Minion asked walking up to his best friend. "I'm here if you need someone to talk to."
Megamind looked back at him and smiled "Oh, thank you Minion, but really, I'm fine."
"Alright," Minion said still not buying it, but dropping the subject. "if you need anything, just holler."
"Actually Minion could you please get me some water?" Megamind asked feeling his parched throat.
"Sure!" Minion called walking away. Megamind stared at his blank screen for he didn't know how long until his fish friend came back. "Here you are, sir!" Minion set the glass down next to his master's hand and waited for something else to do.
Megamind picked the glass up and drank from it. Regretting the action, he immediately spit the contents out, crying "Minion, what is this! Are you trying to poison me!"
Minion looked at him calmly and said "No, sir, that's the hairspray, that Ms. Richie dropped a couple of kidnappings ago."
Megamind stared at him then looked at the bottle in his hand. It was indeed hairspray. "Oh, well then, why did you leave it there?"
"I didn't, sir. You did." Minion told him "You wanted to test it to see if you could find a way to use it against the city."
"Right." Megamind said turning back around to face the screen and grabbing the real cup of water. "Well, thank you Minion. That will be all." Minion nodded and headed out of the room.
Megamind sighed and put his head in his hands. "Why are you on my mind?" he asked the thought. Megamind leaned back and closed his eyes using his perfect memory, he recalled a young child with brilliant blue eyes and strait milk chocolate brown hair. Ever since this morning he could not get the child, Claire, out of his mind. It had been at least two weeks since he had seen her last and he found that he was missing her terribly.
He sat up suddenly and scoffed at the absurd thought. Why on Earth would he, Megamind, master of all villainy, miss a child! It was something that was a hindrance to his thought pattern that day and this day as well! He should ignore the pathetic child for all the grief she has and is causing him! Yet he couldn't help but think how much his heart had soared when he had spoke to her. The simple, yet powerful words she had said truly made him happy. She had held no malice towards him, no fear despite who he was and that he was (in human norms) a freak. The only other person to ever make him feel that was and act remotely nice to him was Minion. Megamind couldn't even count Roxanne (even though he desperately wanted to). She believed him to be a completely different person when he was out with her!
Realizing that Claire was not going to leave his consciousness he called one of his many brain-bots to his side. "7!" Brain-bot number 7 zoomed to him. She beeped at him. "Go to the orphanage and find a small child of about 5 or 6 with blue eyes and brown hair, that goes by the name 'Claire'. Stay out of site. I don't want anyone to get scared. When you find her turn on your video feed and transmit it back here." 7 tilted her head to the side confused about the order. "Go." Megamind ordered pointing to the door. 7 nodded and went on her way to find Directive 'Claire'.
It wasn't long before 7 found Directive 'Claire' outside the orphanage. She was sitting in a corner of the playground playing with a couple of dolls. 7 beeped turning on her video feed and started transmitting it to her master. In the lair the screen turned on to show Claire in the corner of the playground. "Well done, 7!" Megamind praised and the little bot fizzled, it was so happy. "Now zoom in on her and enhance your audio."
7 did as she was told and zoomed in on Claire. "Honey, I'm home!" Claire said with her best impression of a man voice making one of her male dolls bounce up and down like it was walking. In her other hand was a female doll that she made bounce up and down in the same fashion as she said "Welcome home darling! How was work?" she made the two dolls kiss then having them bounce up and down, side by side she moved them over to where another doll was sitting. This doll, unlike the others, was smaller and seemed to be a female child. "Oh, you know how it is." Claire said answering her earlier question with the same male voice.
Megamind smiled at this. He knew exactly what she was doing. Claire was acting out what she thought it would be like to have a family. For the next 5 minutes he watched her play with a content smile on his face. The smile soon vanished when 4 boys walked up to Claire and tore the dolls harshly from her hands making her cry out in pain and anger. They seemed to be at least 3 or 4 years older than her. "Who said you could play with the good toys!" one boy snapped. He seemed to be the leader. Megamind stood at this and almost walked straight into the screen. Remembering where he was he simply took a step back and glared at the boys.
Claire stood and looked defiantly up at the bullies "I don't need permission!" she snapped "It's a free country!" Megamind smiled proudly at her with a contented smirk on his face."You tell 'em Claire." he thought. One of the boys pushed her back down on the ground making her cry out again. They all laughed at her.
She tried to get up, but another boy held her down. "Stay down!" he sneered.
She pushed his foot away and pushed herself up "You're not the boss of me!" she snapped. The third boy flicked her in the eye making her flinch and cover her eye "OW!" she cried out.
The other boys all started laughing and the leader boy said "Everybody hurt the freak!"
Claire was suddenly pushed back on the ground and attacked with kicking and flicking of all sorts. Even some other children joined in. Megamind had, had enough. "7!" he cried. She strained up at his call "Zap those little bastards till they burn!"
"Master!" 7 cried. The translation of her beeps showed up on the screen. "They're just children! I know we're evil and all, but we do have standards." she scolded him.
Megamind sighed "Fine, but still zap them till they cry!"
"That I can do." 7 said happily. She zoomed down and did just that. She used one of her beams and zapped every single one of the children attacking Claire. They all jumped and cried out in pain once the red laser hit their backsides. All the kids, but the four boys ran away crying.
The leader boy looked down at Claire and said "You really are a freak!" 7 zapped him again for good measure making the beam hotter in ferocity, before the boys ran away dropping Claire's dolls.
Claire sat up when she realized that the on slot had stopped. She looked around a bit confused "What just happened?" she asked herself. She shrugged then picked up her dolls and continued playing. "Daddy!" Claire said holing up the child doll. "I missed you daddy, Megamind!" she said making the child doll and the male doll hug.
"I missed you too." Megamind said smiling at her. "7," Megamind continued. 7 beeped. "I want you to look after this girl from now on. Protect her alright?"
"You got it boss!" 7 said before shutting of the video and sound feed.
On the playground Claire saw a shadow fly over her head causing her to look up. She caught a glimpse of blue and metal. Knowing instantly what it was she smiled at it then held her hands over her heart. Closing her eyes she said softly "Thank you."
