Just a nice cute little short one
It just sorta popped into my mind while I was working on the sequel and I had to get it out.
Insurance
"Officials are still unsure as to what started the blaze, but at this time have no reason to find it suspicious. This is Roxanne Ritchi, for KMCP 8 news." No sooner had she called for the cut that the squeal of tires cut through the air. Roxanne barely even had time to gasp as her head whipped around and she saw the car barreling straight for her. Time froze for Roxanne as the car bumped over the curb; everything was coming too quickly for her to move, even the thought to anticipate the pain.
She felt herself fly backwards, and when her back met against a building she came to her senses enough to see a pair of brain bots gripping either of her arms. She was only just in the clear as the car re-routed and sped on back down the road. Her heart pounded in her ears and she warily watched the brain bots. They bowged awkwardly at her before they flew away.
Roxanne always knew that she'd be somewhat safe where it concerned Metro Man and Megamind. She'd always been rescued; never once had she been left with a scratch from the kidnappings; dirty maybe but never injured. And even then she was growing the suspicion that she was never in any real danger during her kidnappings to begin with.
But now; this changed everything.
Now she realized that no matter what, Wayne or Megamind, she was always safe.
Two days later she found herself kidnapped again. She kept a rather stern expression on her face as Megamind turned in his chair and gave her his standard greeting.
"I should be furious you know…" she said to him. If she could cross her arms, she would.
"W-what?" he asked; honestly confused as to what she was referring.
"You're technically stalking me. Exactly how long have those robots of yours been following me around? I mean, really, when you think about it, I should be downright furious." She had watched as his face dropped; and as he swallowed the lump in his throat.
"But, I can't be angry with someone who saved my life." She smirked and watched as his face relaxed. He stood up from his chair and circled around her.
"Consider it insurance Miss Ritchi. Good captives are hard to come by, and I only want the best."
"Whatever you say Spaceman. So; what do we have today?"
Love it? Hate it? Let me know! The whole idea of her being saved by protective brainbots and the "I should be furious you know" just wouldn't leave me alone. I've had a few ideas for the I should be furious line... and it may appear in another one shot as well.. i mean; in all fairness; our friend Megamind has done a few things that Roxanne should be furious about! haha (and hey.. Wayne has also done some jerk things too!) Well, this writer needs some sleep! Hope you all liked this one! and yes, i promise, i really am working on that sequel. I was struck by inspiration the other night after a slight writer's block! ciao ciao all!
