“What makes you think I don’t?” Megamind turned to her in true bafflement. The inability of human’s to think of things from many angles simultaneously often confused him despite being raised by them. To him the fact that she could be Roxanne, Hostage, His Victim, Reporter, Wayne’s Girlfriend, her Parent’s Daughter, and any other number of things all at once made perfect sense.
“And why wouldn’t I be? Honestly Miss Ritchi… what has gotten into you today?” Megamind cursed the day in general. Nothing was going right.
Roxanne pouts a bit, frustrated at the double-questioning, but tries to press forward, only hoping her mic’s battery will hold out long enough to capture any truly juicy bits. “Why wouldn’t you be happy with the status quo? You mean the one where each battle ends with you bruised, bloody, or otherwise broken? Where you usually end up back in jail, with another sentence added to your record? With nobody but Minion to really talk to, when it really matters?”
She trails off, deciding not to go any further and provoke a negative reaction while Megamind is driving and she’s tied up. “Which reminds me… where IS Minion tonight, anyway?”
Megamind scoffed, “I’ve come closer to nearly winning then you are recalling, clearly Miss Ritchi,” frustrated at how today was going, he snipped, “And why is it exactly that you assume I don’t have anyone? Hmm?”
“Do you really think that my entire life revolves around you and Wayne, really Roxanne?” he sighed, his mood dipping low enough that he broke character briefly. Shaking his head and scowling at himself he tried to shake himself back into the right mindset, “Miss Ritchi, all will be clear once we arrive. I’ll get to enact the latest great battle against my lifelong nemesis, you’ll get your story, and the status quo will remain. Everything is perfect. Just how it is,” his jaw snapped. Do. Not. Ruin. This. For. Me. He added silently.
