Chapter 3

Metroman landed in front of the old school house that hid his base and went inside. He went to the hidden stairs and down a hallway that led to an iron door. He reached out to open the door and froze. His fringed glove was bright blue. He looked down, so was the rest of his costume. "Blast it all!" He yanked off his gloves and stormed into the hidden living area.

Drat that Megamind! This was a brand new costume and an expensive one, his mother had given it to him when he had visited home barely three days ago.

For once the beautiful room filled with memorbelia of his career and it's fancy gold and white decorations didn't soothe him. Quickly stripping off the stained costume, he took it to the laudry room and dropped it in the washer, adding a generous cup of soap. He turned on the machine and slipped on a robe of egyption cotten before returning to the other room. He chose a guitar from the instuments in one corner of the room and sat down to practice and relax.

The room were beautiful with white marble floors and gold veined marble pillars. A chandelier with crystals gave light. He had a tv, but most of the room was taken up by an elaborate and expensive sound system.

The bedroom furniture was white with gold accents and a king sized bed. The bath also echoed the gold and white theme. verything was top of the line and expensive, his mother had insisted on it , only the best for her son, Wayne Scott.

Wayne sat there strumming on the guitar and thinking. Megamind had actually planned a rather clever escape this time. Wayne knew he was plotting something or he would have just allowed himself to be returned to jail.

The super villain had proved that he could stroll out of jail pretty much whenever he wanted by his nineteen escapes, no, twenty including this one.

Hmm, tomorrow he'd see if he could find Megamind's hideout and nab him before he could use whatever plot he was planning.

A click told him the wash cycle was done, so he went in and pulled out the suit. It was still blue...and so was the inside of the washer.

"CRAB NUGGETS!"

Wayne tossed the ruined costume in the trash with a sigh. He felt a reluctant smile tug at his mouth. He wondered if the blue stain was an accident or it had been on purpose.

Either way, he knew Megamind would have been thrilled. He'd been invulnerable to whatever his rival had tried so far, but Megamind refused to give up, even when it was obvious he was losing. He couldn't deny he admired the super villain's tenacity.

Wayne shook his heed with a chuckle. Of course, Megamind could also be a major pain in the butt. He almost hoped he wouldn't be able to find him. He couldn't deny he was kind of looking forward to seeing what his rival was planning. He sighed suddenly.

The problem was the fact that poor Roxie would get caught in the middle. She was attending the charity ball with him as his guest. It helped her with her career, but it also made her a target. Megamind always kidnapped her to use as bait to lure him into whatever trap he'd planned.

Roxie's tough and she wasn't really scared of Megamind, he thought. The blue skinned villain was many things, but he wasn't a killer.

Wayne considered that and laughed a bit ruefully. He was the only one Megamind seemed determined to kill and he was invulnerable. It was ironic when you thought about it.

Returning the guitar to its stand, Wayne turned on the T.V. He'd relax tonight and tomorrow he'd search for Megamind.
