After Metro Man had dropped his archenemy off at the prison, he heard a cry for help; it was coming from somewhere on the other side of the city. He heaved a deep sigh; a hero's work is never done. He quickly flew to the scene of the crime, and then another and then another. He almost missed his appointment with Harry Harkton, but with his super speed he made it with 2.6 seconds to spare.
"Ah, Metro Man, thank you for being so, punctual. I know being a hero must be a full work load." Mr Harkton said pleasantly as he checked his watch.
"Yes, it can be difficult at times, but the happy faces of the people I rescue are all the rewards I need." Metro Man said repeating what he always said when someone brought up his self sacrifice or anything like that.
"I see, actually I'm here to talk to you about your heroics, in a manner of speaking." He said leaning forward in his seat. "I have a proposition for you."

Roxanne sat down at her desk and sighed as she pulled out her compact mirror. The makeup department did a fantastic job, but Roxanne could still see the trace of black from her lack of sleep. Crime was a 24 hour job, so was crime fighting, and as Roxanne had found out, so was reporting on it. She began to rub her forehead as she started tapping her pen; she had to write a quick blurb on her most recent kidnapping for the six o'clock broadcast. She leaned back in her chair and sighed again.
"Are you okay Roxanne?" Stacy from accounting said as she walked by.
"Hmm? Yeah, I'm okay, just a little tired." Roxanne said sitting back-up.
"Aw, that's too bad, you should get a coffee, I'm sure that will make you feel better." Stacy said walking away. Roxanne smiled in agreement, and nodded, the truth was she had already had 4 coffees today. It wasn't that Roxanne was just tired, she was of course, but it was more then that, she was physically and mentally tired. She sighed again; she'd been doing that a lot lately, she look down at her note book, and began to write about the 'terrifying' experience of being held captive by Megamind, the city's resident super villain.
"Down the hall? Right thanks." Roxanne barely paid attention to the voices down the hall; it wasn't unusual for people to be walking up and down the halls all day. So of course she was a little shocked when she heard the knock on her door.
"Come in, it's open." She said not bothering to turn around.
"Hello, am I speaking to Miss Ritchi?" A male voice said at the door, Roxanne finally turned around, she recognized the voice, but couldn't place it.
"Yes, I'm Miss Ritchi, can I help you?" She said turning around in her chair.
"Hello Miss Ritchi, I'm Harry, Harry Harkton." He said reaching his hand out. Roxanne smiled and shook his hand.
"Oh, yes, you're the one who talked to Metro Man after today's battle, how can I help you?" She asked again.
"Well, I was wondering if we could talk a little business." He said smiling.
"About what exactly?" She asked becoming suspicious, raising one eye brow.
"Actually, I'm here to talk to you about you're journalism, in a manner of speaking." He said his smile getting larger. "I have a proposition for you."

Megamind found himself once again sitting in his prison cell flipping through his limited TV channels. Where had he gone wrong? His plan had seemed so perfect, why did all of his schemes go south.
"Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it." He mumbled to himself. He stopped flipping channels, and began spinning around in his chair. What Megamind usually did when he found himself in a slump because of his latest failure, he would pick himself up and start work on a new plan, but right now he couldn't think of anything. "Am I becoming predictable?" He asked himself. Megamind swung around when he heard a knock on his cell door.
"Megamind you have a visitor, says his name is Harry Harkton." The Warden said frowning.
"Great, does he have a puppy with him?" Megamind said his face lighting up like a kids on Christmas.
"You just never get bored of that joke, do you?" The Warden said rolling his eyes. The guards chained Megamind up as they led him to the visitor aria.
"Hello Megamind, it's good to meet you, I'm Harry Harkton." Harry said through the phone, smiling.
"Ollo, what do you want with me? You're not another one of those lawyers that think's you can be a star by becoming my lawyer, are you?" Megamind said suspiciously, he was really getting sick of those guys, he was smart enough to be his own lawyer, besides there was no way anyone could win his court cases anyway.
"No, no, nothing like that, actually I'm here to talk to you about you're villainy, in a manner of speaking." He said as he leaned forward with a large smile on his face. "I have a proposition for you."
