Pausing to look around and orientate herself, Roxanne watched the Brain Bots fly around the room. They’d been drawn to the door thinking Daddy was home, but seeing [Special Case: “Roxanne” = passive mode, additional program, run: Do Not Play] they ignored her and went about their business. Roxanne didn’t notice their behavior as unusual as the bots had always behaved that way around her.
In fact, the only thing to shock the reporter as she stated into the lair was the unfamiliar glowing eyes and the woman’s voice. She froze, wide eyed at the stranger, feeling strangely offended. In embarrassment she realized it was the same feeling she’d had upon realizing as a child that her teacher had a life outside of school. She’d known that she didn’t know everything about the blue super villain’s life… but it was different to actually see something so unexpected staring her in the face.
Straightening her back to try and cover for her surprise, Roxanne countered, “Me? Who are you?” taking in the clothing she added hesitantly, “Do you actually live here?” she realized she didn’t really know if this was a home or a workshop or what it was to Megamind. She’d assumed he would just built his robots in a place like this. At the same time… it was hard to picture Megamind living in a normal house.
Anna was absolutely shocked by how it was the brain bots were reacting, looking at them as they simply went about their day as normal.. her eyes shifted to narrow over at the woman, looking the well dressed brunette up and down before her eyes settled back on her eyes. Obviously the bots were programmed in a manner that made her realize that Syx trusted this woman.. but why? Why didn’t he tell her about this woman?
Anna was not a jealous woman. Not in the slightest. They had a healthy relationship, one built on pure trust.. seeing the woman here, made Anna wonder if there was something Syx had forgotten to tell her.. and considering she had never seen this woman until now? She was likely a blast from the past, perhaps?
“Yes, I live here with my mate… now.. who are you?” she prompted, not about to give the woman her name when she had yet to give Anna hers. In her mind, Roxanne was trespassing on her territory.. and if the bots wouldn’t do anything? She would, if necessary
“Mate?” Roxanne blinked in shock, recalling that Harrison had used that word too, “You’re Megamind’s… girlfriend?”
He had a lover? Roxanne was flabbergasted. Not that it mattered no, no, of course not. It was just a surprise and well… she’d rather thought he had a thing for Wayne…
“Roxanne Ritchi,” it had been a long time since someone hadn’t recognized her, “From Channel 8,” she prompted. Finally, with a sigh, she added, “The one that always gets tied to things during Megamind’s plots?”
