It was a beautiful fall day, warm but with a breeze that played with the handful of leaves that had already fallen in Metro City. And Harrison was glad for it. It had been raining on and off for most of the last week, but today’s forcast called for a warm golden day. Probably the last one they would get for a good long while so Harrison did not want to waste it. Wayne was taking Devin for another playdate with Vycter while he caught up on hero business with Girly, so the blue man was happy to have a little alone time. His full-time paternity leave was almost up and if he was honest, he was itching to get back in the CEO seat even if it was just part-time until after the holidays.
But until then, he had a day to himself and my god, he was going to enjoy it. He practically skipped down the stairs of Megamind Inc in his casual jacket and tie with a delightful pair of suede loafers. He’d forgone his usual security detail, since he had a new degun strapped to his ankle and another hidden in the breast pocket of his coat. He’d decided to skip the car today as well. It was just too nice to be inside! Perhaps he’d stop by the donut shop and ooh maybe pop into the Bvlgari store on his way to walking out by the lake….
Waiting until the blue man had gone by, Roxanne stood to follow, soothing down her yellow blazer. She could hardly believe her own eyes even though she’d seen the pictures. She pretended to be on her phone as she walked, occasionally taking pictures of him. Even without the lack of leather and actual fashion sense and glasses, it was clear very quickly that the only things this man shared with Megamind were the skin tone and body type. He didn’t even walk the same.
Still, the sudden appearance of more blue men in the city that for all intensive purposes had somehow always been here must be connected to Megamind. After all, his building was called Megamind! Once Roxanne had her nose on a story, she was horribly stubborn about following it to the end. Her mother always complained that it was her worst trait, and while it had gotten her into plenty of trouble over the years, it drove her more than anything to succeed.
