DISCAIMER: Megamind and all the characters do not belong to me... except his sister!

Chapter 2 – Escape Attempts.

Sophie sat in the prison library with the story book 'Cinderella' in her hands. She used to love story books when she was younger and she missed her Dad reading them to her. He was too busy nowadays and always told her she could read them herself now. He often reminded her that she was 13. But Dad used different voices for each of the characters. And that was something she couldn't do.

Minion was on a cushion, sleeping, in his fishbowl. Sophie never did like the robotic body her brother had made for their fish friend. Whenever her brother wasn't around she would detach Minion from his suit and carry him around in his bowl.

Sophie hadn't seen her brother since breakfast. He had been present for roll call and had sat with her at breakfast (something he rarely did anymore as he preferred to sit with the other prisoners). But he had disappeared when they were being taken back to their cells. The place had gone into lockdown. No-one was allowed in, no one was allowed out. The Warden had cornered her and demanded to know where Blue was; but Blue never told her anything anymore and therefore she didn't know. Minion was with her also, which worried the Warden even further as Blue never went anywhere without Minion. It wasn't long before they were let out of their cells and Sophie figured that they must have found her brother.

Sophie turned the page of her book as she heard a pair of familiar feet marching down the corridor. She didn't look up until the feet came to a stop in front of her. She looked up into the eyes of her father, who didn't look happy. He had two guards stationed behind him. One guard bent down and picked Minion up (who awoke with a start) and the other grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a standing position. It didn't hurt her, but it surprised her a little. Her book fell to the floor, landing open on one of the pages.

"You know…" Her father began, crossing his arms. "I really hate liars."

"What?" Sophie mumbled, thoroughly confused.

"Take her to her cell." The Warden ordered the guard who had hauled her up. She felt the guards' strong hold fall on her shoulder and start guiding her away from the library and her best friend. Sophie didn't say anything as she was led to her cell and neither did the guard. But Sophie had a million different questions burning her tongue.

When they reached her cell, she wasn't surprised to her brother sat in the middle with his back to them, sulking.

Blue looked up when he heard the jingle of keys unlocking the cell. He turned his head round slightly to see a guard with his sister. He hid a sly smirk as Sophie walked into their shared cell.

The guard locked up again and left. For a few moments the two siblings stared at each other. When they both knew the guard was out of earshot Sophie crossed her arms.

"What have you don't this time?" She asked.

"Where's Minion?" Blue questioned, looking behind her as if expecting to see Minion jump out and scream 'BOO'.

"Dad took him." She mumbled before she resumed her demanding tone. "Now stop avoiding the question!" Blue waved a hand at her in a dismissing way.

"We've lost all our privileges for a week." He smirked. So, the sulking was just an act was it?

"What?" She yelled at him, letting her arms drop to her sides. Blue stood up and walked towards his sister. "What d'you mean: we?!"

"The word 'we' is used by a speaker to refer to themselves and one or more other people." Blue said, quoting from the dictionary. Sophie rolled her eyes.

"Why have I had all my privileges taken?" She tried a different way.

"We, little sis… not I."

"Why?!" She asked, getting fed up.

"Because I nearly escaped again." He shrugged.

"So I'm being punished for something you did?" Sophie snapped. Her brother was 15 and a right nuisance.

"No. You helped me." Blue smiled.

"I did not!"

"Oh, but you did!" Blue paused. "Don't you remember? I got you to map out the entire prison and asked you write down the times of when everything opened, closed, began, finished. And I even got you to write down the guards shifts?" Sophie's eyes grew wide.

She slapped him.

"Ow." Blue mumbled, placing a hand on his cheek that was slowly turning purple. Sophie ignored him.

"You said you wanted to make Dad a surprise party!"

"Well our so called 'Dad' thinks you're a liar now!" Blue smiled. He could see the realisation in her eyes that quickly turned to anger. "I wasn't going to take the blame for everything when you helped!"

"This happens all the time!" Sophie yelled at him. It had all begun at the time they were both excluded when she was 6. Blue had hated spending that night by himself and now, every time he would get into trouble, he would find a way to make sure Sophie was punished in some way as well. "I have enough of you!" She spat. She walked over to the bars and began to rattle them, much like her brother had done so many times when he was younger.

After a few minutes with no-one coming to see what all the noise was, she gave up and slid down the nearest wall until she was sat hugging her knees.

"Doesn't work, does it?" Blue commented as he sat down on one of the two beds in the tiny cell.

"Shut-up." She snapped. She hated her brother at the moment. She hadn't done anything and yet she was being punished. A whole week without her books or her yard time! It sounded pathetic but it was how she entertained herself.

"No need to be like that. You're the one that got yourself into this mess!" He replied.

"I gave up everything for you!" She said firmly, raising her head. "Ever since we got excluded!" She snapped. "I gave up all my friends!" She could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. "My best friend! I don't even hear from him now!" She paused as she whipped her eyes. "Because of that incident when you were 8, I've had to cut off the outside world. The only time I get to view it is when we're allowed out and I'm sick of the view of the empty road! I loved getting dressed in the morning for school with all the different clothes to try on! But I gave it all up, because you didn't like it! Now I wear this damn thing!" She motioned to the orange jumpsuit that was rapidly getting too small for her now. She made a mental side note to ask for a bigger one later. "I give up most of my free time to help you build useless objects! And even then you pushed me away! I share my lunch with you most days because some prisoner pinches yours and I don't even get a thank you! And I give up my time with Minion, especially when I want to talk to him, because you want to finish some project you're working on!" She paused, only now realising that the tears were falling down her face. "And I always lose my privileges because of you! And I do it all because I love you Blue." Blue didn't bother to correct his name with his usual retort 'It's Megamind'. "But all I get back is a stab in the back. I don't even know if you love me?"

Blue looked at his hands. He didn't realise that she had spent most of her life sacrificing things to keep him happy. He knew he should get down on his knees and hug her, but he didn't know if he should. He was the bad guy after all and it would look bad for his image if he was trying to cheer someone up.

But that someone is your sister. A voice mumbled to him in the back of his head. He shook the thought away and led down on his bed, looking at the ceiling. He heard a scoff come from his sister.

"That says it all doesn't it!" Sophie snapped before she buried her head into her knees and cried.

Blue sat for a few minutes listening to his sisters sobs. He just couldn't bring himself to look at her. He knew if he did he would bend and run over to her to comfort her. He then remembered what his dad, his REAL Dad, had said to him when he was placing him into the escape pod.

"Listen here son…" His father said. "I want you to look after your sister. She is your responsibility now. If she is hurt, make her better. If she's upset, comfort her and make her smile again. If she wants to talk, talk to her. Make sure you are always there for her and that way she will always be there for you." He paused. "She's all you've got left. Make it count."

Blue shook the memory from his mind and sat up again. He looked over at Sophie, who was still crying.

"Sophie, listen…" He began.

"Go away." She choked on tears. Blue gulped. Why did Warden take Minion away? This was Minion's job!

But Minion isn't here at the moment. The voice whispered. Blue hated that little voice in his head. Warden had said it was his conscience; whatever that was! Blue stood and went over to his little sister and knelt in front of her. He put his blue skinned hand on her head and she leant into the touch. He smiled lightly as she practically fell into his chest for a hug.

Blue noted that it had been years and years since they had hugged and he had to admit he missed it.

"I'm sorry." Blue mumbled into her ear. "I didn't mean to make you feel this way." He reached for her hand, which he held in his. "And I'm sorry. I really am." He paused. "And… I do love you, I really do. But sometimes I need reminding." He reached up his free hand and dried his tears. "I'll tell the Warden the truth when he comes round to speak to you later." He said honestly. "I tell him that I was the one lying, that I had asked you to draw out the prison for me and I had tricked you into doing it by not telling you about my planned escape attempt." Sophie looked up at him.

"You would really do that?" She asked as Blue whipped her tears.

"Yeah, I would."

That sat together for hours, talking, remembering, laughing and hugging. It was times like these that they both missed.

When Sophie had turned 14, the Warden had placed her in the cell opposite from her brother. He had said how the four walls of their shared cell were barely big enough for her and blue, let alone Minion as well. And all 3 were still growing. Blue always had Minion in her cell and Sophie felt more alone than ever. She hated having her own cell.

One sunny September morning, Sophie was sat at the table away from all the prisoners. It was her brother's birthday in 2 days' time and she had made him a gift. She had made him a photo album. She had asked her dad for all the photos he had taken when they were younger and she had stuck them in a little scrapbook. She couldn't wait to give it to him. He would be turning 17 and dad had said how that was a big step closer to him being able to leave.

Sophie looked over the table where the prisoners always sat. She could just make out her brothers blue head and Minions fishbowl. She turned back to her cornflakes and smiled. She was proud of her brother and wasn't afraid to admit it.

A few moments later someone plonked themselves down in front of her. She looked up into her brothers green eyes.

"Morning." He smiled.

"Morning." She replied.

"Look, I won't be around for a while." He began. "So I'm leaving Minion with you." Sophie looked up further than her brother and sure enough, there was Minion in his big, gorilla, robotic suit.

"Where are you going?" She asked, looking back at her brother, her smile now faded from her lips.

"Metrocity!" He declared happily.

"Has dad given you permission?" She asked, raising a quizzical eyebrow. He never gave her permission; there was no way he would give it to Blue.

"He's not our Dad!" Blue snapped. "He's the Warden." Sophie rolled her eyes, not replying to his comment. "And no, not exactly. He hasn't."

Sophie's eyes grew wide as she grasped his idea.

"You're escaping?!" She asked in a hushed whisper.

"Shhh!" Blue placed a finger to his lips. "Don't say anything."

"Blue…" She began.

"Sophie! You know my name's Megamind." He sighed.

"Please don't go."

Blue stood.

"I'm sorry Sophie. My mind's made up."

And with that he left.

A few days later, Sophie was lounging in her cell, reading. Minion was sat, knitting and Blue had escaped. His cell had been empty for the past three days straight; and Sophie missed him. It was his 17th birthday today and he wasn't around for her to congratulate him. She sighed as she turned a page of her book.

As she thought of her brother, the silence of the cell block was broken by the sound of yelling and struggling. Sophie stood from the bed and made her way over to the bars to try and see what all the noise was about. Many of the other prisoners did as well.

"You haven't seen the last of me Metro Man!" Someone yelled. Anyone who had spent the last year in the prison knew who that voice belonged to: Blue.

Sophie watched as her brother was hauled down the corridor by two guards who were struggling to keep a grip of him. She watched in surprise as one guard unlocked his cell. The other pushed him inside where he tripped over his feet and went crashing to the ground. Sophie couldn't believe it! They only treated the prisoners like that. The cell slammed shut and the first guard locked it again.

"Happy Birthday… Blue!" The second guard said slyly. The two walked away laughing. Sophie tried to call after them, but she couldn't find her voice. After a moment of silence, Sophie turned back to look at her brother.

"Blue?" Sophie asked, concerned as he brother pushed himself up.

Little did Sophie know, that was only the first time she would see her brother pulled back to his cell and treated in that way.
