The little blue boy blinked up at the blond woman. He shook his head vigorously no and put his fingers to his mouth in a shush motion. He was hiding from Daddy. Games were fun, even with Daddy’s mustache bristled.
Falling into a sleepy half nap the boy didn’t stir until his father’s voice reached him.
“BLUE!” James shouted, jogging toward the strange woman holding his adopted son. Holding himself stiffly as he approached her, his voice was gruff, “Thank you for finding him Ma’am. I hope he didn’t cause you any trouble,” his lips drew thin, fearing trouble was exactly what Blue had been causing, “I’ll take it from here,” he stepped forward to accept the small child from her arms.
Lifting his head up and rubbing his eyes, Syx murmured, “Daddy… I don wanna go home yet.”
The concern for the child wasn’t something that Mickey could fight as the man took Blue into his arms. Offering a sort of assuring smile, she nodded some, waving off his concern, “No worries. He was trying to play hide and seek with you when I found him,” she assured the man.
“I’m just glad I was able to help him find his father.”
Breathing a sigh of relief as soon as Blue was in his arms, James gave his son a stern frown, “You know you aren’t to leave the school grounds,” Syx just pouted and turned his face into his father’s chest.
What if someone had taken him? What if he’d been hurt? Blue was an alien and not even a citizen. What would he be able to do if someone stole him away? Go sick with worry and hope his resources could recover the boy. Fail him. More than likely.
Turning back to the woman, he nodded, “Thank you again. I should call off the manhunt before the men scare the neighborhood,” shifting his grip on his child, he offered a hand, “James Woodridge, I’m the Warden to the prison up the street.”
“Ha! Well what are you waiting for then?” Megamind gave the Crimson Fucker the come at me fingers from the piolet seat of the Spider Bot, “Come on an hit me if you’re able.”
Pausing in shooting, Megamind peered down at his fallen rival. Finally! He breathed a sigh of relief and leaned on his gun cannon, lips quirking in a smug grin, “That’s what you get for daring to challenging Megamind! What a picture of defeat you make, I rather with I had a camera.”
Defeat!?
Well… there went her plan. Snarling angrily, immediately reacting to the anger she felt at his words, she concentrated fiercely on the power she held within, exhaling in a swift motion as two inky shadows in a general animalistic form rose behind Syx.
She didn’t speak, didn’t give the man any warning before she instructed them to attack, moments before she burst into as intense of a flame she could possibly manage.
The shadow demons didn’t hesitate, leaping onto the bot that Syx was in, beginning to rip and claw at the joints
“OH SHIT!” twisting wildly around Megamind spun the canon to aim at her again, firing off a shot before, he became aware of his other problem. The spider bot stuttered under him, staggering to the side as its joints began to give under the claws, “The fuCK IS THAT? THE FUCK ARE THOSE?!”
Spinning the controls, he tried to shake the shadows off, cursing his stupid mouth and this stupid cat and this stupid everything. His heart hammering in his ears and moved the bot farther from the fire.
Megamind had been performing a steak-out. Sitting on the roof of a nearby building. He’d 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.
The night had dragged on. Too many long nights that he’d been building new machines and tracking this potential shipment. His eyes drooped and he was asleep before he knew it.
He was falling …up… the ground disappearing 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 confusion at the face that swam into his vision. The expression making it hard to understand who he was looking at, memories blurring together as he tried to put the right name to the face in his half awake state with heart still hammering, “Wha…?”
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 don’t know where the lines are for those feelings?
Megamind lips drew this and he contemplated what to say, “I know Harrison,” that was both true and safe, “And I’ve run into Sheldon,” he took a deep breath to calm his nerves, straightening and looking around to the area he’d meant to be watching, “Parallels and differences… the multiverse is a strange place. I know you’re not the cat eared girl I know because you’ve yet to badger me or throw insults. So you must be Sheldon’s,” he shrugged.
Emma watched him as he stood, her head swivelling and rising as her ears perked forward again, sniffing a bit and rubbing at her nose. “Well then,” She mused, shifting to stand right along with him.
“I haven’t ran into somebody who knows whatever-they-call-her in a while,” she mused, chuckling. “..You’re alright though?” She prompted, tilting her head just a touch, “This isn’t really the most comfortable place to be hanging around to sleep.”
“Wasn’t supposed to be sleeping,” Syx muttered dryly, rubbing his stiff back. Straightening out his hip gave a sickening pop and he sighed in relief. Trying to get back into his role, Megamind shook himself out and drew himself up, “Evil is never fine and always lurking. What better place then a roof top?” biting his lip he added, “You wouldn’t have happened to see a whole bunch of guys moving big boxes around down there earlier, did you?” he pointed across the street.
