“Sander-what now?” Megamind squinted at her, “I’m a scientist. I don’t do the occult.”
“If you want to talk evil magic, you’re far better off with Hot Flash. Her and the Doom Syndicate are the only magic users living in Metrocity I’m aware of,” he blew out a breath, those elemental users were hard enough to deal with. He really didn’t want to know what she meant by ‘devil magic’ earlier.
“Hot Flash and the Doom syndicate I’ve never heard of such people and it’s Sanderson” Her brows furrow as she speaks a hardness to her tone despite her outwardly nonchalant air, she never spoken this type of way before and it’s somewhat weird to do so now.
But nonetheless she had to speak in some type of tone that she has heard her eldest sister use on many occasions. Sarah looked over the blue man and his fishy robot henchman once more and titled her head to the side. “Thou haven’t seen a black cat around here by any chance?”
Megamind raised an eyebrow at her, it seemed horribly cliche, a witch and a black cat, “Really? Isn’t that a little too on the nose?”
“You’ll have to be more specific regardless. Strays are horrible around here. The brain bots usually chase them off,” he motioned at the flying robots who were curiously circling Sarah from a distance, but growing closer as they became bolder.
“Oh thank you!” Minion replied brightly, “The secret is al-”
“Don’t tell her all of our secrets!” Megamind hissed, glaring at his loose-lipped friend.
“-mond extract,” Minion finished, giving the blue man a sidelong look, “I highly doubt she’s going to dupe our evil plans based on my cookie recipe, Sir.”
“First it’s cookies, Minion! Next, it will be the secrets of DNA extraction!” Megamind flailed his arms around as he paced, “You mustn’t let them worm their way into your weak-willed mind.”
Minion let out a long watery sigh, “If you say so, Sir.”
Spinning back around to their captive, Megamind pursed his lips, “Well you can’t stay here. I live here,” he narrowed his eyes at her, he won’t be able to live with himself if he knew she was going to be sleeping on the streets, “I’m a super villain, not a charity.”
The youngest of the Sanderson sister’s turned her head back around so that she was eye to eye with the blue super villain very carefully placing the rest of the cookie down onto the cover of the book but also being extra careful not to let any cookie bits accidentally go into the book’s still open eye this time instead of showing a look of comfort to Sarah the book seemed to be giving the super villain a glare of sorts.
Her eyes narrowed and her lips pursed into a tight line she very quickly answered back with a giggle in her tone of voice. “And I am an evil witch. Hast thou ever heard of the legend story of “The Sanderson Sisters? I am Sarah the youngest”
“Sander-what now?” Megamind squinted at her, “I’m a scientist. I don’t do the occult.”
“If you want to talk evil magic, you’re far better off with Hot Flash. Her and the Doom Syndicate are the only magic users living in Metrocity I’m aware of,” he blew out a breath, those elemental users were hard enough to deal with. He really didn’t want to know what she meant by ‘devil magic’ earlier.
At Minion’s direction, a brain bot appeared and draped Megamind’s caped mantle over his shoulders. Shifting the spiked leather around, the blue villain brushed the high collar up into place feeling more comfortable already. His shoulders back, he moved with more confidence and he paced the witch. The brain bot nuzzled into his arms for petting.
Stroking the bot’s dome, Megamind mused, “You don’t have any family here then?” he frowned, “Do you have any plans at all?”
He tried to remind himself not to get involved. This wasn’t his mess to deal with. Minion arrived just in time, toting a plate of warm sugar cookies decorated in holiday themes. He leaned down offers the plate towards their captive.
“There you are, Miss” Minion beamed, ever the helpful and bubbly hench-fish.
Shaking her head once more, Sarah replied with a sad tone to her voice. “I don’t have any family here whatsoever, Thou see all the family that I had ever had were all in the town of Salem but now all that family art gone. First it had been mother, devil rest her evil soul” She stopped then, letting her words trail off just as Minion reentered the room the nice smell of the sugar cookies drifting right towards her.
She threw a fleeting glance in Minion’s direction and she allowed what once had been a very faint smile to rise upwards a bit wider taking one of her hands from the book she took just one of the cookies from the plate choosing the one that was shaped like a black cat which reminded her of the boy she and her sisters had transformed into a immortal black cat the night they were hanged back in the 1600′s and the same cat who stopped their plans 21 years ago to this very night with the help of a child and two teenagers.
“I Thank thee” She commented before she took a bite out of the cookie she swallowed before she spoke again. “This is delicious thy a wonderful cook”
“Oh thank you!” Minion replied brightly, “The secret is al-”
“Don’t tell her all of our secrets!” Megamind hissed, glaring at his loose-lipped friend.
“-mond extract,” Minion finished, giving the blue man a sidelong look, “I highly doubt she’s going to dupe our evil plans based on my cookie recipe, Sir.”
“First it’s cookies, Minion! Next, it will be the secrets of DNA extraction!” Megamind flailed his arms around as he paced, “You mustn’t let them worm their way into your weak-willed mind.”
Minion let out a long watery sigh, “If you say so, Sir.”
Spinning back around to their captive, Megamind pursed his lips, “Well you can’t stay here. I live here,” he narrowed his eyes at her, he won’t be able to live with himself if he knew she was going to be sleeping on the streets, “I’m a super villain, not a charity.”
Megamind rubbed his hands over his face. He’d already finished a night of Halloween activities and had really been just looking forward to a quiet night in the Lair with his loved ones. Was that so much to ask.
“So you wandering into my Lair is just entirely by accident? No evil plots?” he sighed. Maybe she was just a homeless new villain in the city.
“I’ll be right back with some cookies then Miss,” Minion added brightly, making a note to at least bring Sir his cape. He knew hope naked the blue alien felt without it when talking to the public.
Sarah nodded her head, continuing to very gently run her fingers over the cover of the book before she felt yet another smile tug at the very corner of her lips and despite herself she giggled before shaking her head.
“Yes thou is correct and yes there are no evil plots coming from me. It was my sister Winifred whom came up with with the plots back when she was still alive”
Sitting back in the chair, the young witch felt her heart pounding from the inside of her chest and for some odd reason it grew harder to keep her breathing in check, it seemed that every time she every mentioned her sisters she just couldn’t control her emotions any more.
At Minion’s direction, a brain bot appeared and draped Megamind’s caped mantle over his shoulders. Shifting the spiked leather around, the blue villain brushed the high collar up into place feeling more comfortable already. His shoulders back, he moved with more confidence and he paced the witch. The brain bot nuzzled into his arms for petting.

He tried to remind himself not to get involved. This wasn’t his mess to deal with. Minion arrived just in time, toting a plate of warm sugar cookies decorated in holiday themes. He leaned down offers the plate towards their captive.
“There you are, Miss” Minion beamed, ever the helpful and bubbly hench-fish.
“Uhhh… you’re not supposed to cry… screaming is far more appropriate,” well great, now Megamind felt like an ass. Shit, and the family thing pulled at his heartstrings, but damn it! She could be faking to get his guard down! With a furrowed brow he looked to Minion for help, “Yes but… why here?”
Minion just shrugged at his Sir, mammals made even less sense to him. Pushing a chair at the distressed witch, he offered, “Would you like a cookie, Miss? They’re fresh out of the oven.”
Even if she did need to be tied down, it would be easier if she was already in the kidnapping chair.
Sarah looked down at the book in her hands for a few moments, trying to think of what to say she took a rough deep breath before looking back at the both of them titling her head slightly to her right hand side as she took a seat onto the chair and she ran her fingers gently over the fleshly cover of the book that she now put onto her lap at her touch the brown eye of the book looked up at her seemingly giving her a look of comfort and also pure bliss.
“This seemed to be the only city that I know of which seemed suitable for a lady like me” At the mention of cookies, she turned her attention to the fish and despite her tears she allowed a very faint smile to come onto her lips. “Oh I’d very much like to have a cookie, thank thee..”
Megamind rubbed his hands over his face. He’d already finished a night of Halloween activities and had really been just looking forward to a quiet night in the Lair with his loved ones. Was that so much to ask.
“So you wandering into my Lair is just entirely by accident? No evil plots?” he sighed. Maybe she was just a homeless new villain in the city.
“I’ll be right back with some cookies then Miss,” Minion added brightly, making a note to at least bring Sir his cape. He knew hope naked the blue alien felt without it when talking to the public.
Gripping the very soft fabric of her purple cloak and burying the front of the book extra closer towards her chest, the young witch felt herself growing very nervous but also a bit of faint wonder coursed through her veins when she took notice of the fish with the robot body of a gorilla went into her line of vision though by now she couldn’t see much due to the tears over flowing in her eyes a few of them had already came down her cheeks leaving wet trails behind.
“I had to leave my home. There was nothing left for me there my sisters are dead and now I feel as though I have nothing left to live for being all alone like this without a family to call my own” Feeling her face scrunch up, she couldn’t hold back a sob.
“Uhhh… you’re not supposed to cry… screaming is far more appropriate,” well great, now Megamind felt like an ass. Shit, and the family thing pulled at his heartstrings, but damn it! She could be faking to get his guard down! With a furrowed brow he looked to Minion for help, “Yes but… why here?”
Minion just shrugged at his Sir, mammals made even less sense to him. Pushing a chair at the distressed witch, he offered, “Would you like a cookie, Miss? They’re fresh out of the oven.”
Even if she did need to be tied down, it would be easier if she was already in the kidnapping chair.
“You just randomly found a secret entrance into a super villain’s lair?” Megamind groaned, covering his face with his hands. Damn it, he didn’t even have his gloves on! He wasn’t prepared to be dealing with this. “You honestly expect me to believe that?”
Hunching his shoulders in the way that would normally make him look bigger if he’d had his spiked mantle on, Megamind glared at her. He had no idea what to even do with her. “Why are you even in Metrocity?”
Sarah’s eyebrows rose up in surprise, her mouth opened and closed several times struggling to find a proper way to respond until eventually she managed to stammer something out, though it was by no means a satisfying reaction but she kept her tears at bay from escaping the corner of her eyes. Even if it was just a question she felt a sting within her heart “I chose to come to this city and I don’t think the reason for my being in the city is any of thou concern”
“Considering the fact that this is my city, I think it is!” Megamind raised his chin and the woman, “And you are in my Lair!”
He refused to feel bad about upsetting her. She was the one who had invaded his space. Minion had been lurking for a time now, having gotten the cookies in the oven and gone around to close the door they’d left open. He made himself know now.
“Should I get the knockout spray and the ropes, Sir?” he looked at the poor woman with a bit of worry, hoping they could get her back where she belonged at the very least. But their own safety came first.
Swallowing, his mind raced… devil spells? Fuuuuuuuuck. Why magic? And now some new stranger who didn’t even have the courtesy NOT be in his home.
“Oh!” Megamind let out a nervous chuckle, “Evil book, how positively bad. What exactly are you planning to do with it?”
“Also… evil god, why are you in my Evil Lair? I don’t take visitors to my secret hideout,” which was a complete lie, but she didn’t need to know that he’d now had plenty of visitors, invited or not.
At his question’s she just couldn’t contain the nervous laugh that had been building up within the back of her throat before clutching the book closer towards her chest as though that would help keep her growing heart rate in check, though she didn’t even know why her heart had decided to speed up just a little. “I don’t have any plans of what to do with it… It’s just with me so I have a piece of my sisters Winifred and Mary still with me..”
“I must apologise for intruding” she mumbled softly. “I wasn’t looking where I was going when exploring the city. I’m not exactly from here and when I noticed this building from the outside of it I thought it would have been abandoned so I went closer to that ‘wall’ just outside not knowing what to expect and.. here I am”
“You just randomly found a secret entrance into a super villain’s lair?” Megamind groaned, covering his face with his hands. Damn it, he didn’t even have his gloves on! He wasn’t prepared to be dealing with this. “You honestly expect me to believe that?”
Hunching his shoulders in the way that would normally make him look bigger if he’d had his spiked mantle on, Megamind glared at her. He had no idea what to even do with her. “Why are you even in Metrocity?”
“I- what? Ugh…” Megamind rubbed his large forehead, “Playing stupid isn’t going to earn you point, though I must commend your ability to stay in character. Gorgeous presentation and the costuming really is spot on,” he continued encouragingly and he approached, making shooing motions towards the door.
As he got closer, however, he froze, his eyes widening. What he had taken for a simple prop… was looking at him…
“Wha- that…” his mouth worked but nothing coherent came out, “That’s… a neat… effect?” he tried hopefully.
When she very quickly took notice of his attention drawing towards her eldest sister’s precious book that the youngest Sanderson sister held in her hand in a tight but also gentle grip as though the book in itself was weight worth in such gold and it gave her some form of comfort within tough situations as though her sisters were actually here with her at this very moment.
“Why thank thee.. but I must confess that this is not a costume not at all though I must thank thee for the compliments none the less..” Sarah chirped while another wild giggle escaped from her before she could try to stop it. Unfortunately, Sarah had not been born with the knowledge of when to keep her mouth shut.
“Oh you like the book.. It’s my sister’s” She purred using a motherly type of tone in her voice when she turned her own attention to the book she held in her hands after she tucked her broom safely under the nook of her underarms. “This book was given to my sister by the devil himself. It contains recipes for powerful and evil spells and nothing good can come from this book”
Swallowing, his mind raced… devil spells? Fuuuuuuuuck. Why magic? And now some new stranger who didn’t even have the courtesy NOT be in his home.
“Oh!” Megamind let out a nervous chuckle, “Evil book, how positively bad. What exactly are you planning to do with it?”
“Also… evil god, why are you in my Evil Lair? I don’t take visitors to my secret hideout,” which was a complete lie, but she didn’t need to know that he’d now had plenty of visitors, invited or not.
