Megamind had been performing a steak-out. SittingĀ on the roof of a nearby building. Heād had brain bots watching the place and tonight should have been the night. A gang had been planning on moving very dangerous weapons through his city and he could allow that.Ā
The night had dragged on. Too many long nights that heād been building new machines and tracking this potential shipment. His eyes drooped and he was asleep before he knew it.Ā
He was falling ā¦up⦠the ground disappearingĀ beneath him until Earth was nothing but a marble in the black inkiness of space. His heart seized. No! Nooo! Not again!
Jerking wildly as he awoke, Megamind blinked in confusionĀ at the face that swam into his vision. The expression making it hard to understand who he was looking at, memories blurringĀ together as he tried to put the right name to the face in his half awake state with heart still hammering,Ā āWhaā¦?ā
Emma stilled when her name was spoken, looking down at Syx in growing confusion. Okay.. soooo.. maybe this was Sheldon? But she knew her friend wouldnāt be caught dead sleeping on top of a building. Certainly it wasnāt him..Ā
ā..Ah.. yeah. And you aaaareā¦?ā she drew out the last word, leaning back into a crouch as one ear turned off to the side, her head tilting just a touch to further express her confusion
Pulling back away from her further, it was incrediblyĀ disconcerting. Still, he was getting used to meeting doubles of people. Stiffly he answered,Ā āMegamind.ā
Eyes narrowed he hesitated,Ā āYouāre⦠Sheldonās friend, right? Harrisonās little brother, Sheldon?āĀ
He bit his lip, heād met Sheldon once and it hadnāt really gone well. But heād heard about the man enough from other people.
Emma opened her mouth, closing it again as he told her what his name was.. Megamind!? Well⦠well fuck. Okay then. She looked him slowly up and down for a moment, one ear turned off to the side and remaining there.Ā
ā..Yeah, I am. Why?ā She prompted, obviously growing weary, but she didnāt ridicule him for his question nor did she immediately sass him back like Lyn would.
Because I know your double? Because my girlfriend once thought she was you? Because I fell for her first when she thought she was you? And I donāt know where the lines are for those feelings?
Megamind lips drew this and he contemplated what to say, āI know Harrison,ā that was both true and safe, āAnd Iāve run into Sheldon,ā he took a deep breath to calm his nerves, straightening and looking around to the area heād meant to be watching, āParallels and differences⦠the multiverse is a strange place. I know youāre not the cat eared girl I know because youāve yet to badger me or throw insults. So you must be Sheldonās,ā he shrugged.
