For Megamind's parents I'm using the names from futureauthor13's story "Family Reunion" on . It's a really good story! Go read it after this! :D
Syx walked out of the immigration office pushing the door aside carelessly. He looked blankly out on the street not at all caring that the door hit Roxanne in the face on her way out. She had been expecting him to hold it for her like he always did.
Briefly looking at him confused she then ignored it and looked down at her phone walking up to him "Okay, so, what's gonna happen is; we will go up there, pretend like we're boyfriend and girlfriend, tell your parents we're engaged. Use the miles for the tickets I guess I will "pop" for you to fly first class, but make sure you use the miles. If we don't get the miles, we're not doing it. Oh! Please confirm the vegan meal, okay cause last time they actually gave it to a vegan and they forced me to eat this clammy, fish thing-" she looked up from her phone seeing him not doing a thing. "Hey!" she said stopping him "Why aren't taking notes?" she asked looking at her phone again.
He spun around "Oh the irony is killing me!" he cried throwing his hands into the air dramatically.
"What do you mean?" She asked looking up from her phone.
"I'm an alien, in every sense of the word yet you're the one being deported!" she glared slightly at his bright amused eyes as he let out a happy laugh. "Here I thought I'd finally be rid of you, but no! I'm suffering once again because of you!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked not looking at him.
"I'm sorry, we're not in that room?" he asked sarcastically, becoming serious once more.
She looked at him confused "What?" He looked at her "Oh! The thing you said about the raise and the interviews? Genius." She smiled down at her phone. "He really fell for it. At least, I think he did."
"I was serious." Syx said placing his hands pockets. "I'm looking at a 200, 000 dollar fine and 5 years in jail. That changes things. And quite frankly, I don't want to go back!" he cried.
"Back?" Roxanne asked confused. He had never told her he had been in prison. She was about to ask him more, but he wasn't done.
"I spent the first 7 years of my life in prison and I don't want to go back! Even though you have become my new prison, I still enjoy what little freedom I have!" he finished throwing his hands into the air for added effect. Roxanne stared at him as he went on pointing at her "If you want my help then some things need to happen."
She eyed him "Give you that raise and the interviews?" she asked with a condescending smirk "No."
"Fine." He said putting his hands in his pockets "Enjoy Canada." He then turned around and started walking away.
"What?" Roxanne cried "Megamind! Megamind wait!" he didn't stop. Finally she snapped "Deal! Deal!" he stopped and turned around. "I'll give you the raise you need to start your company and I'll arrange the interviews at the Paton office." He slowly made his way back to her as she continued "If you do the Alaska weekend and the immigration interview, I will do those things for you. Happy?"
He looked at her "And not in two years right away." Syx added, knowing her so well.
She swallowed "Fine."
"And advertising goes out right after that." He told her.
She paused "Fine. Advertising goes out to the US."
"Worldwide." He interrupted. She looked at him trying to contain herself. "We'll tell my family when I want and how I want. Now," he said softer "ask me nicely."
"Ask you nicely what?" she snapped.
He smirked "Ask me nicely, to marry you Roxanne." He said smartly.
She looked at him "What does that even mean!"
"You heard me." He said his confident smirk never leaving his face "Down on one knee."
She looked at him judging if he was serious. Oh he was. Glaring at him she looked around afraid someone would see before looking back at him. He smiled smugly at her. "Fine." She said then held out her hand. He took it as she kneeled onto the ground. Looking up at him she asked "Is this good?"
"Oh yes, I like this." Syx said nodding joking seriousness.
She brushed her short hair out of her eyes and asked nonchalantly "Um, will you marry me?"
"No." Syx said shaking his head "Say it like you mean it."
Her jaw tightened as she glared at him. Taking a breath she smiled sarcastically up at him and asked sweetly "Megamind, gentle Megamind, will you please, with a cherry on top marry me?" she batted her eyes as he looked down at her.
He took a deep breath "No. That's not my name and I don't appreciate the sarcasm, although I know that is your middle name. Try again." He offered once again smirking at her.
Roxanne closed her eyes and took a deep breath before looking at him "Syx," she began softly "would you marry me?"
For a second he froze he had never heard her voice be that soft. Trying to hide his little momentary lapse he smirked then said "I didn't know you had a decent bone in your body, but sure." And with that he turned and left her, ignoring her hand that had reached out for his help making her fall to the ground. "See you at the airport." He called as he walked away.
She glared after him, but after awkwardly moving around she finally got up off the ground and headed to her loft to pack.
..::-::..
"So," Syx said flipping through a little blue booklet "these are some of the questions that INS is going to ask us." He and Roxanne were finally on the plane heading towards Alaska. "The good news is, I know everything about you, the bad news is you have 4 days to learn all this about me." He said looking at her.
She rolled her eyes and put the magazine she had been reading down and took the booklet out of his hand. Flipping through it she asked "You know all this about me?"
"Scary isn't it." He said looking out the window.
"Hmm, a little bit." She said snidely "What am I allergic to?"
"Peanuts. Peanut butter, peanut oil, just peanut everything. You just explode." He said blowing out his face showing her what he meant. "Also the full spectrum of human emotion."
She smiled "Oh isn't that so funny." She said before moving on "Oh here is a good one, do I have any scares?"
"Yes, on your left leg." He answered smiling at her raised eyebrows. "When you were 8 you fell off your bike and had to have stitches. Also I'm pretty sure you have a tattoo."
"Oh you're pretty sure?" she asked mocking surprise. "What with that big head you can't be just 'sure'?"
He glared at her slightly before continuing "Two years ago your dermatologist called and asked about a Q Switched laser. Of course everyone knows that a Q Switched laser is used for tattoo removal. But you cancelled you appointment." He finished and she looked at him "So what is it, tribal ink, Japanese calligraphy, barbed wire?"
She mocked laughed "You know it's exciting for me to experience you like this." She then pointedly turned back to the book in her hand.
"You know you're going to have to tell me what it is." Syx pressed.
"No I don't." she answered not looking at him.
"They're going to ask me." He offered but she shot him down.
"We are done with that question." She said. "Now for another question… ah. Here's one. 'Whose place do we stay at yours or mine?' that's easy; mine."
"Why wouldn't we stay at mine?" he asked defensively.
"Because I live in down town Metro City." She answered smugly. She then added rudely "You probably live in some one room apartment on the lower east side."
He looked at her slightly degusted. How could she just write someone off like that? Shaking his head he looked out the window. She would flip if she knew about the lab. Suddenly the image of a stunned silent Roxanne, standing in his lair entered his mind. This thought brought a large smile to his face and it remained until said woman opened her mouth again.
"So how about another question 'How did we meet?'" they looked at each other before looking away starting to blush "We are not going to answer that question." She said flipping to another page.
"Agreed." He said simply turning a slight purple, remembering what happened that day.
Before the woman could say any more a little girl popped up from the seat in front of them. She smiled as she leaned on the back looking at Syx she asked "Are you an alien?"
Syx smiled "Yes I am."
"Are you a nice alien?" the little girl asked, drawing some attention from the other passengers. Roxanne was embarrassed, but Syx was perfectly happy. This happened to him all the time.
"Are you a nice little girl?" he countered.
"Yep!" she said happily nodding her head.
"Well, then I'm a nice alien." He smiled at her.
"Do you eat brains?" Syx along with the other passengers laughed.
He shook his head still chuckling "No, I don't eat brains. I believe you're thinking of zombies."
"Oh yeah." She said thoughtfully. Then returning to her normal cheerfulness she asked "Why are you blue and have a big head?"
He raised an eyebrow at her and smirked "Why are you white and have a small head?"
She looked confused then shrugged "I don't know, cause my mom and dad were white and their heads were small too."
Syx nodded "That is the same for me. My mother and father are blue and have large craniums like myself. Just like you humans, my species has a special look to them."
"Ooooo." The little girl said, her eyes getting big "There's more of you?"
Syx grinned "Barely." He said. Roxanne snapped up from her embarrassment long enough to catch the sadness in his voice. What was that supposed to mean?
"Claire!" a woman scolded. The little girl looked down at the seat next to her "Get down from their and stop annoying people!" she snapped.
Claire looked sad at first, but then brightened up "Okay, auntie." Turning back to Syx and Roxanne she smiled "It was nice meeting you. You look like a very happy couple." She said smiling then turning around and sitting in her seat.
Roxanne and Syx stared at the back of the seat, before blushing slightly and going back to whatever they were doing. Syx pulled out a piece of paper and started working on some designs and notes. Roxanne went back to looking through the booklet.
She tried to focus, but what Syx had said about his family jogged her memory and after a few minutes she finally got up the courage to ask him something. Upon further thought she wondered; why'd she need to get it in the first place? She was Roxanne Ritchi! She wasn't afraid of anything! Shaking herself she finally asked "Megamind?"
He looked up from his notes "Hmm?"
"What did you mean, you didn't want to go back to prison?" she asked softly.
He looked at her for a moment then said "That… is not a question in the book thus you don't need to know the answer." He finished then looked out the windows
"I thought we needed to learn everything about each other?" she asked with a smirk.
Still not looking at her he replied "Everything, but that."
Roxanne rolled her eyes "Oh come on-"
"Drop the subject, Roxanne." He growled spinning around to face her, giving her a glare.
She flinched slightly, never before having seen him act that way. "Fine." She said strongly, hiding how much he had shaken her. He looked at her for a second longer before returning his attention to the window. She looked at him for a moment; she had never seen him get angry like that… it was rather frightening.
She wanted something, anything to break the tension that was growing around them and was thankful for when the pilot said "We will be landing in Juno within the hour."
Confused she asked "Juno, I thought we we're going to Sitka?"
He sighed and looked at her "We are going to Sitka."
"Then how are we getting there?" she asked snippily.
He smirked.
..::-::..
This is not what she had in mind! Ridding in the smallest plane, moving so much she felt she was about to crash, and crowed to the point she had to touch him in order to stay upright!
Syx on the other hand was used to it and didn't mind it at all. Looking out the windows over the mountains he sighed, not sure if he was happy to be back or not. Finally they landed in the Sitka airport. Syx looked out his window to see his beautiful mother and best friend/brother Minion, waving and jumping up and down holding a sign that said 'Welcome home Syx!' Despite the situation he couldn't help, but smile.
Getting out of the plane he squinted at the sun light and walked down the small steps of the plane and to his family. He ignored Roxanne having trouble as she followed him and ran to his mother "Mother!" he cried giving her a hug.
The alien woman smiled at him and gave him a hug back "Oh my boy, you're back in my arms!" she cried happily.
Syx smiled at her as they pulled apart. Like him, she was blue had a large bald head, not as big as his or his fathers, but still large and amazing green eyes.
"SIR!" Syx and his mother turned around to see Minion. Minion was a fish that looked a lot like a piranha inside a giant robotic gorilla suit Syx had built for him a long time ago.
"Minion!" Syx said going to give his brother a hug.
Minion wrapped his metal arms around his master. "It's good to see you again, Sir! I'm so happy you decided to come back!"
They pulled apart as Syx asked "Where's dad?"
His mother and Minion shared a look before Minion replied "Well, you know the master, Sir, he's always working."
"Never mind about him," his mother cut in. "I want to meet your girl, where is she?"
Syx looked around for her then finally spotting her he pointed and said "There she is!" Roxanne glared slightly walking up to them.
They watched her walk up when Minion asked innocently "Are you sure, she's female?"
They chose to ignore the fish. Once she reached them Syx's mom went to hug Roxanne, but she held out a hand instead. Awkwardly his mother then gave her a hand shake "Roxanne this is my mother, Lactea Mind."
"Nice to meet you." Roxanne said shaking the woman's blue hand.
"And this is my brother, Minion." Syx finished pointing to the fish.
"Pleasure," Roxanne said smiling as she shook Minion's hand.
"Well hello!" Minion said happily "Now do you prefer being called Roxanne, or Satan's mistress?" he asked.
Roxanne looked at him, forcing the smile to stay on her face. Syx hit Minion's back telling him he approved of what Minion said as Lactea said "He's kidding."
"Oh! Oh, okay." Roxanne forced a laugh as they all looked at her. "Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this weekend."
"Oh of course!" Lactea said smiling "We're thrilled to have you! Come with us to the house." She said walking away. Minion nodded and followed her.
"Okay!" Roxanne said nodding, following them and giving Syx a look.
Syx ignored her and wrapped his arms around his family leaving Roxanne to follow.
