Syx wasn’t much for seduction. Not that he didn’t understand it, but the first approach felt nearly impossible. So he fell back to what he always did to get another’s attention. He built a thing. In this case a floating bot, dark metal and trailing gossamer ribbons like a decorative tail. It hovered and spun in an odd little dance around the brooding man that had caught Syx’s eye.

“And what do we have here?” Zagam’s eyes widened in surprise, first wary, to see a strange artefact floating around him, but relaxed immediatly when noticed it was just trying to call his attention, thing that did succesfully. His gaze soon moved towards the blue man that for one second he thoug might be Mr. Drake. It wasn’t him, of course. The colony was not the same neither the energy. Another blue man?
Zagam flashed him a charming smile leaning forward on his chair, there is the resting area of the exhibition. “Pretty artefact you have here. Is it yours?” He asks with playfully interest.

Syx blushed hotly, he still called Wayne his nemesis… but the two were lovers as well. That was entirely private, however.

 “Just because I threaten to kill him on a regular doesn’t mean I can’t stand him,” he waved off, continuing in a grumble, “Rock spiders aren’t human, so yes I kill monsters. As far as servants… only those I make,” he frowned thinking of the Brain Bots, “I’ve built hundreds upon hundreds over the years…”

He shook his head, “The larger things were in the museum we’re heading to. Or at least ones made by versions of me. I don’t know if they have any of mine in there,” he shrugged. 

His Uncles and the blues might be more what the devil here would be asking about, but he wouldn’t mention them. They were protected. His allies and friends. They were part of his real life, not the super villain persona. They would kill for him and he for them. 

“Sure! why not love your enemy sometimes its more exciting just turn around and not know if he is gonna stab you or hug you. “ he laughed and waved his hand, completly agreed with syxs words and taking his excuses. such pride. 

“Don’t you have the patience to wash brain and get other servants usually those are also effective. I don’t see why not unless you are a socialkiller too. an Hermit?.” if he knows Harrison then maybe not but still he neother know how small Mr. Drake circle is also. Being alien forced them to distrust of others or maybe the high level of intelligence pushes them to not tolerate less rational people, which were almost all humans…

-”Here you keep a low profile, what do you fear to’ ? Demons maybe? like Mr. Drake?” his voice his silky attempting to touch a thin nerve.

A deep frown etched into Syx’s face, “Brainwashing is pointless. Defeats the entire purpose. If you are going to have soldiers then they have to be able to think of their feet. Make there own decisions. Otherwise they’re just useless cannon fodder,” he waved a hand dismissively, “You’re thinking too small scale. It’s better to control what they think of you. Shape how they see the world and you can manipulate the decisions they make for themselves. Politicians make a career doing this.”

It was the whole point of having both Mr. Blue and Megamind. Two worlds, two faces. To shape and manipulate how people saw him. To make sure they only ever saw the masks in public. There were cracks forming now. The game shattering. His plans slipping. All he felt he could do was try and desperately hold onto the shards as they slipped away.

With his holowatch firmly in place and activated, Syx strode into the small tattoo parlor wearing his most often used dark skinned face. His afro filling a portion of the space his blue head did in order to help the disguise generator. He found that the less the watch had to drastically fabricate the more realistic the disguise and the longer the charge lasted. Generating flowing hair and clothing he wasn’t actually wearing stressed the-the algorithms in the watch and increased the likelihood he’d end up looking like a CGI character come to life. 

Smoothing out his leather jacket, Syx grinned at his uncle and leaned against the counter. Chatting about business and news since he’d been in prison. Passing on messages from those who were still inside. 

Noticing Paige coming in he gave her a little wave, heading over toward her and plopping down in her tattoo chair as if he hadn’t turned down every offer she’d ever made to give him one. He flashed her a wide charming smile, green eyes shining. 

“Draw up anything new while I was gone?” he always adored seeing her sketches for her designs.

Her frown only deepened at his words, her confusion growing. “Wasn’t normal?” she prompted, raising a brow. She felt as if there were something else he was talking about it.. but for the life of her, she couldn’t figure it out. “Well, I dont’ really think I would care if you weren’t normal,” She informed him, though her tone expressed her confusion. 

“I mean, look at me,” she motioned to herself, pink hair, piercings, tattoos and all, “I’m far from being normal, and that’s alright. I think I know you well enough to know that you’re a good person.”

Syx grimaced, “That seems kinda petty…” but it was what he expected people to say. They valued ‘good’ and he was ‘bad’.

“I’m… I’m not a good person, Paige,” face falling dejectedly, Syx stood, shoulders slumped as he prepared to leave, “I should just go. It was nice seeing your art again.”

it was nice seeing your art again.. 

His words had her freezing, the concerned expression on her face stilling as a deep rooted hurt flashed in her eyes. She looked away, hoping he hadn’t seen that, couldn’t see how much his words had hurt her. He wasn’t here to see her. She knew she wasn’t terribly close with Syx, but she did like him.. enough for his words to strike a chord. 

“Ah… yeah. See you around..” She cleared her throat, pushing her chair so that she wheeled back over to her desk, setting her phone down on the counter. “You know where to find me if you wanna come see my art again.”

As he stood, Syx could smell the pain on her without even looking back. Hunching his shoulders more, he gave a half hearted wave. It was better this way. For them to not getting any closer. To keep from having to lie over and over again.

—–

The next time Syx was in the shop it was without his disguise. Without even a plan. Half delirious and stumbling he let himself into the tattoo shop. It was too hard to keep going and he couldn’t think straight from whatever Psycho had hit him with.

Slumping down in the parlor chair he idle giggled to himself as he browsed through tattoo art until he fell asleep. Still laying in the chair come morning as the sun rose.

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…?”

Heart still beating too loudly, Megamind sat staring blankly at her. He’d forgone the overly large cowl and cape, opting for the suit with the tall tight collar. To aid with stealth he’d worn spikeless gloves, giving his villainous attire a much softer look.

Logically he worked through what he could see. His first though was the Crimson Fucker, the face and hair was right. The expression was that of Anna… when he first met her… when she told him that her name was, “Emma?”

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 wouldn’t be caught dead sleeping on top of a building. Certainly it wasn’t him.. 

“..Ah.. yeah. And you aaaare…?” 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 incredibly disconcerting. Still, he was getting used to meeting doubles of people. Stiffly he answered, “Megamind.”

Eyes narrowed he hesitated, “You’re… Sheldon’s friend, right? Harrison’s little brother, Sheldon?” 

He bit his lip, he’d met Sheldon once and it hadn’t really gone well. But he’d heard about the man enough from other people.

“Draw up anything new while I was gone?” he always adored seeing her sketches for her designs. 

Syx just shook his head, eyes closed tightly, “Won’t work. No way around it,” not without turning of the holowatch, not without having to tell her.

Looking away from Paige, Syx finally asked, “What if… I wasn’t so normal?”

Her frown only deepened at his words, her confusion growing. “Wasn’t normal?” she prompted, raising a brow. She felt as if there were something else he was talking about it.. but for the life of her, she couldn’t figure it out. “Well, I dont’ really think I would care if you weren’t normal,” She informed him, though her tone expressed her confusion.

Syx howled in pain, clinging tightly to his beloved Anna. He couldn’t cry, not like humans, yet his eyes filled with unshed tears. Inner eyelids blinking them away and blurring his vision. His face flushed as he rubbed against her, seeking comfort. It had been the hardest decision he’d ever made. Ripping his heart to shreds and leaving him a mess. It was right and needed. It was horrible and he was a monster. Nessisary to move on. Regretted instantly. Heartache overcame him.

It didn’t take long, not as long as it would have before she came into his life, for Syx to start talking. Quick;y enough that it shocked Minion greatly. Seeing as his duty as shoulder to cry on was now a shared duty, he slipped out of sight to let his Sir and Ma’am talk. He kept an ear turned to the conversation, though.

Curled in Anna’s arms on the leather sofa, Syx sniffled. Rubbing their foreheads together he sought every bit of comfort he could, “I… I broke up with Wayne. I had to,” he hiccuped and rubbed his nose, “No more dating, no more battles… what am I suppose to be without him?” he felt pathetic, yet… 

“but I couldn’t… just keep going on like that,” Wayne’s jealousy had been eating away at him for too long and as much as he loved his hero… he couldn’t, wouldn’t, give up the other people in his life. 

Anna had been his constant companion through it all, urging him to eat with gentle words and hands, making him do the things he likely didn’t even want to do. Though through it all she never stopped touching him, never stopped offering him her comfort. 

The words that Syx spoke wrenched her heart, and she knew he likely smelled the shift in her emotion, but she didn’t linger on the thought as she drew her hand up and down his back. 

“..You’re so brave..” she whispered, pressing a kiss to his temple, letting the contact linger for several moments. “I’m so sorry Syx.. I’m so sorry..” she whispered those words, tears rising to her eyes as she tried to imagine the heart ache Syx surely had to be feeling. She knew of the relationship the two held.. 

“..its hard.. its so hard.. but we keep going.. me and you, together. You come out better than before..” she urged the words gently, unsure if they would do anything for him. She didn’t know if she was doing this right.. but she spoke from the heart. She truly meant it.. she would be with him through it all, thick and thin

“I don’t feel brave,” Syx sighed, “I feel useless and selfish and horrible.”

He curled his face into her neck. Hadn’t even said goodbye, just left. He was a monster. Yet he’d never been able to face Wayne and tell him that they couldn’t be together like that anymore. Wouldn’t have had the strength to walk away.

As it was… Syx pressed a hand to his stomach and shuddered. He didn’t want it to happen again. Even if it was from a man he loved. Even if it could mean… he hoped beyond hope that nothing would come of it, whimpering softly.

my favorite thing that Clark Kent does is try to figure out how a Normal Human Man would respond to getting injured

like if someone shoots at him he can say “oh he missed” and if someone tries to punch him he can kind of roll with it and barely avoid getting hit so they don’t smash their hand while going “oh ow oof what a punch ouch”

but then here comes the Joker with a comically large wooden mallet and now Clark has to figure out how Normal Human Man Clark Kent could conceivably survive this without making it obvious that he is not actually a Normal Human Man. just “oh goddammit i’ve never even seen someone get hit with one of these before, the joker’s probably seen all kinds of people get hit, he knows what this is supposed to look like but i have no goddamn idea i am so fucked”

superman may have the power of flight and super strength but clark kent has the power of improv

BUT YOU FORGOT THE BEST PART

POLITELY ASKING JOKER TO STOP

you are completely right, clark kent asking people to please stop trying to murder him is definitely way up there on the list of reasons he is amazing

#EXCUSE ME SIR #BUT I AM TRYING
TO LIVE
 #COULD YOU
PLEASE TAKE YOUR MALLET ELSEWHERE
 #THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME AND COOPERATION
 #there’s no way
he should be able to dodge but the joker is way too busy being mad at the gall
of him to think about that
 #so offended
that someone he had not planned to waste time on was still alive

(( i love this and am now picturing the retired Wayne Scott having to do this as Music Man. XD ))
