The kitchen was done to Minion's taste with walls painted sea green with cream floor tiles and natical decorations like fish nets, star fish, lobsters and crabs. After all Minion was the cook, so he spent a lot of time there. It only seemed fair.
Megamind went to the kitchen and sat down at the table. "The brainbots have once again chewed my slippers to pieces, Minion."
Minion sighed. "Oh dear, I'm sorry, sir. I'll make you a new pair." He set a plate and glass in front of him. "Here you are sir, lasanga and garlic bread, your favorite." He sat down across from him.
"Ahh well, not your fault. I must do a check on their circuits and try to remove this tendency to chew things and bite when I have time," he grimaced at the memory. He had gotten bitten more then once. "You pamper me, Minion, thank you." Megamind dug in. He was starved.
Minion grinned, showing rather frighteningly sharp teeth. "It's my job to pamper you, sir. But you're welcome."
Megamind picked up the glass and noticed its contents for the first time. "Milk? Do I look three to you? Didn't we something more suitable?"
"You need the calcium, sir, but I made chocolate cake for dessert to make up for it," Minion said. "Of course if you don't drink it..." He shrugged.
Megamind rolled his eyes. "Blackmail, Minion, blackmail." He laughed. "You're learning!"
Minion laughed too. "Well, I learned from the best, sir!"
"That is a backside compliment," Megamind snorted.
"The word is backwards not backside, sir," Minion said.
"Potato, tomato." Megamind turned his attention to his food. He finished his dinner and drank the milk though he grumbled a bit. However having two slices of chocolate cake did balance it out.
Minion gathered up the dirty dishes. "Are you going to the lab, sir?"
Megamind considered then shook his head. "No, I believe I'll take a long soak instead. All that needs to be done is a couple final tests. It won't take long."
Minion bobbed his entire body in his version of a nod then frowned. "Do you need some of that salve you made rubbed on your back, sir?" He knew his sir well. He liked to tinker with new creations. It wasn't normal for him to not do so.
Megamind rolled his eyes. "Nanny fish." His jibe was filled with affection "I'm fine."
Minion smiled and began to wash the dishes. "So will we be kidnapping Ms. Ritchie tomorrow?"
Megamind shook his head. "No, I'm sure she'll be there with Metroloser anyway." He stood. "Do you have another cape ready? After all it is a formal party and I want to look my best." He smiled, knowing Minion was as talented with leather and fabric as he was with pots and pans.
"Not quite, sir, I'll have it done tomorrow by noon. You can try it on then I can make final adjustments if needed," Minion said cheerfully. "It is a beautiful cape. I think you'll like it. I added lots of silver spikes," he added in a mock whisper.
"Excellent, my fantastic fish. Thank you for dinner." Megamind left the kitchen and went back to his room.
After a minute Minion heard AC/DC coming from sir's room and smiled.
Stepping away from the stereo, Megamind kicked what was left of a mangled bat slipper out of his way as he headed into the bathroom.
The bathroom had a large tub, easily big enough for two people plus a roomy shower. The toliet was in a smaller room off the bath area.
The tiles were pale blue and the walls were a couple shades darker. The fixures were a highly polished, glossy black. A full-length mirror was fastened to the wall.
Megamind walked over to the tub and turned on the water, making sure the water was the right temprature.
When it was full Megamind turned off the water. "Start whirl pool." The water began bubbling and rolling. Megamind smirked. It had been a good idea to create a voice activated whirlpool.
Megamind shrugged off his robe and hung it back on it's hook. Stepping into the tub, he sank into the deliciously warm water and leaned back onto the waterproof cushions he'd installed for comfort. He sighed in pleasure.
Dishes washed, dried and put away, Minion walked down the hall and tapped on the door. When no one answered he opened the door slightly and peeked in. He could hear the whirlpool running.
Minion stepped in and picked up the splked belt and leather gloves. He put them away and pulled out a set of black pajamas and put them on the bed. He gathered up the leather catsuit and left, closing the door behind him.
Thanks to my reviewers and those that put my story on alert. Chapter 5 will be up soon. Please R/R?
