Weird. Weird, weird, weird, Roxanne told herself, standing in front of Megaminds former evil lair in front of her.
Not too long ago, he had terrorized the streets of Metro City, kidnapped her on a regularly basis, picked up fights with Metroman – and now? Now she was dating him, Megamind, defender of Metro City and most wonderful person she ever had the pleasure of meeting in all her life.
This wasn't an excuse for being late on their interview, though.
Stepping from one feet to another, she finally decided to leave the KMCP van and to enter Megaminds lair. The doormat calling 'Secrit Entrance' had gone, for now there was no longer any need in hiding.
"Megamind?" Roxanne called out, her voice echoing from the walls around her. The lair was emptier than when she had found it first, but the Spiderbot stood in the middle of the room, trying to fetch some Brainbots, which were hovering around it, buzzing happily.
Roxanne couldn't be sure if Megamind already deprogrammed them so they wouldn't attack her, so she decided to sneek around them, entering a new room, which she hadn't seen before.
"Megamind?" she called again, stepping into the bright room. White walls were plastered with colourful notes, most of them bluescreens of things, she would think of were – guns and atom reactors? No, that couldn't –
"Roxanne!" Megamind said cheerful, appearing behind her back and scare her to death. "Oh, you screamed!" He added happily.
"What are you doing here? We had an interview, remember?"
Megamind seemed startled for a moment, rummaging his memory, until his eyes became wide and he panicked. "The interview! I dumped you! Oh god! I'm so sorry, Roxanne! I had so much in mind and then there was this thing and I had to work on, it - "
"No problem, I expected as much," Roxanne said, comforting him by touching his shoulder. Megamind looked at her hand as if he wasn't sure what to think of it, but when he saw her smile he calmed down again.
"So what now?" he asked her, still worried. "The citizens wanted to hear about the Mega-Megamind and I also have to cancel my inventions I sold. Argh, how shall I find the mustache-lady?"
Roxanne sighed, no clue what he was talking about. She saw dark lashes under his eyes. All the new things seemed to be a bit too much for the blue man. "It won't be too bad if we have the interview tomorrow instead" she began thinking. "We could take a free day, what would you think? You could show me what you were working on and I can say you why it will fail. This will prevent another Robo-Sheep - "
"Robo-Sheep was cool!" Megamind interrupted, but he wasn't angry at all. Apparently he had to laugh, remembering the fuzzy little robot eating all flowers of Metrocity park. 'More robot, less sheep' was the lesson he learned.
"A free day will be wonderful, especially spending it with such a fine woman as you are" he finally said. "Minion will do the details." He picked one of the blueprints from the wall, watching it carefully.
It was the one Roxanne thought was an atom reactor. "Excuse me, but what exactly are you working at? It looks like a small reactor - "
"Plutonium, to be true" Megamind said without hestitation. "You are such a smart woman! I'm impressed you recognized -" Then he saw Roxannes face. "Ah! – This. This was a joke. It looks like it, but it is. It is. A. A candyfloss-machinery. You fell for it. Haha. Hahaha." He hid the blueprint behind his back.
"Megamind!" Roxanne said angry.
"Come on. It's not evil!" he tried to explain, but Roxanne examined the other blueprints already, which were covered by Step-Notes. Search the Pinky. A sketch of a machinery gun. Something she couldn't understand at all, difficult circuitries with mathematical notes. What was he up to?
"Then it will be fine to show me" Roxanne deduced, crossing her arms. Women.
