âLike ya havenâ been doinâ the same thinâ, blue boy. Actinâ like ya wonâ be needinâ any sorâ of help. Especially here.â Considering both she and her husband had a fairly good hand over what was their part of the city, his insistence on going it alone, to Rockatoo, was painfully misguided.
âOh really? I have three words for you Mrs. Delic,â he pointed up, âOrbital Death Laser,â with that, he squeezed the trigger on the de-hydrate setting.
The answer sheâd been about to give is cut short, a momentary register of shock on the womanâs face just before a small blue cube clatters to the pavement.
Sighing, Syx hit the cube with de-coupage to keep it from uncubing too soon and gingerly picked it up and tucked it in his cape pocket with as much care as if it was a live grenade. What had he gotten himself into? But being seen as weak, that he could be bent to anotherâs will, especially to the will of a much more violent villain was just not an option. He set the rules, he didnât play by otherâs rules. Heâd made it on his own on these streets since he was 15. Heâd always gone his own path, never siding with the big gangs. The trick was doing it right. He was hardly alone anymore… nearly a thousand functioning brain bots and a team of a hundred that were battle trained and kitted out. His Uncles and other criminal contacts loyal to him. Police and Prison Guards on payroll. Favors owed to him by other villains and heroes. No… if this Rockatoo thought him weak and in need of help, she and her team had another thing coming. Still… he now had a cube to package and send off and a lot of plotting to do…
In truth the bigger lie was that he /was/ going to hurt her, but she didnât need to know that. Megamindâs main plan was just to scare her and prove a point, though her being cubed was now a guarentee as he continued to roll the cylinder.
âYou need to stop underestimating me, Mrs Delic. Why ever would I send you back to your dearest hubby if I didnât WANT trouble? Oh I look forward to seeing just what you can do. And you, little miss Iâm to good for this, brought it on herself.â

“Oh really? I have three words for you Mrs. Delic,” he pointed up, “Orbital Death Laser,” with that, he squeezed the trigger on the de-hydrate setting.
Standing her ground, she looks more irritated than scared. âWhaâ happeneâ ta âwouldâ hurâ a pregnanâ womanâ, mm?â Rockatoo crosses her arms over her chest, staring Megamind down.
âIâm a the bad guy. I liiiied, its what we do,â humming he spun the chamber on the de-gun, âWhat shall it be, what shall it be? De-bilitate is aaalways fun. Oooh, but de-moralize, now thatâs a real treat,â he snickered darkly and raised his brows, âbut de-regulate⌠it wonât hurt one bit, but youâd rather be dead I promise.â
She immediately quashes her first response.
âNo sense of honor, course noâ. Ya really think ainât nothinâ gonna happen if ya try somethinâ?â

âTry harder. Anâ he will be hearinâ abouâ this.â
Megamind drew his de-gun smoothly from his hip holster and aimed it at Rockatoo with a hard look in his eyes, âWhy Miss Delic, you wound me! I havenât yet begun to threaten. How about I send you back to your husband in a tiny gift wrapped box?â
Standing her ground, she looks more irritated than scared. âWhaâ happeneâ ta âwouldâ hurâ a pregnanâ womanâ, mm?â Rockatoo crosses her arms over her chest, staring Megamind down.

â âEy, itâs ya decision. Buâ ya ainât gonna have an easy time of iâ, if thatâs the way ya wanna go.â
âOh, I expect it will be quite⌠entertaining. I was more than willing to come to an amen-itable agreement so make sure you inform your Psycho Delic that you caused this.â
âIf ya tryinâ ta be scary-â
âTry harder. Anâ he will be hearinâ abouâ this.â
Megamind drew his de-gun smoothly from his hip holster and aimed it at Rockatoo with a hard look in his eyes, “Why Miss Delic, you wound me! I haven’t yet begun to threaten. How about I send you back to your husband in a tiny gift wrapped box?”
âI am perfectly happy to work with sane people but I refuse to play your cryptic guessing game. We work together, itâs straight forward and as equals,â snarling he lost his temper, fully dropping the villainous persona, âFuck off with your damn paranoid bullshit. I donât know what game you think youâre playing at, but Iâm not biting.â

âI donât need to work with him or you. This was a courtesy I extended that youâve done nothing but disrespect. If this is the way you conduct your affairs, I donât know why Iâd want anything to do with you.â
âIf ya wanna geâ anywhere here, ya do. So ya may as well geâ useâ to thaâ facâ.â
âNo, I donât. Megamind does not kowtow to other villains. If you donât work with me, then we are not allies. I. Do. Not. Need. You. If you get in my way, I will crush you like a spii-der.â
âIf ya think workinâ wiâ is kowtowinâ, thatâs ya problem, isnâ iâ?â
âYa sure thatâs ya final decision?â

âThaâ gonna be your problem, isnâ iâ? Considerinâ ya mighâ end up workinâ wiâ him anyway, ya may as well try anâ make sure iâ goes gooâ firsâ.â Ignoring the initial comment, knowing that she had been purposely stubborn, Rockatoo goes straight for what she felt was the truth.
âI donât need to work with him or you. This was a courtesy I extended that youâve done nothing but disrespect. If this is the way you conduct your affairs, I donât know why Iâd want anything to do with you.â
âYouâre utter nonsense and obstinance is making me want to have nothing to do with you or your husband,â frankly, if she kept it up he was likely going to be rather creatively prankful in the future. Whatever her intention, she was earning herself an enemy.
