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…?”

“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.

Emma watched him stretch out and listened to him as he spoke, raising a single brow as she does so. She couldn’t help but compare him to the other two blue men that she knew, couldn’t help but see the differences in them. Her pale blue eyes took in everything, not even bothering to try to hide the intelligence she held. It was far too early to play the game she enjoyed normally. 

“Large boxes? There are always people coming in and out with boxes.. I mean this building is a bar.. but ah.. yeah. I have,” she pointed to the building he indicated. “They’re different this time. They all put it into a uhaul moving truck.”

Syx wanted to smack his head against a wall. One not being available, he used his fist, “Stupid. Fucking. Time. To. Fall. A. Sleep. Idiot!” 

Groaning and staring up at the stars he asked dully, “I don’t suppose this bar has outward facing cameras that might have caught the plate at least?” 

He’d left the brain bots behind to avoid suspicion in his hiding. He had a patrol nearby waiting, but he doubted they caught anything useful.

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.

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.

Emma opened her mouth, closing it again as he told her what his name was.. Megamind!? Well… well fuck. Okay then. She looked him slowly up and down for a moment, one ear turned off to the side and remaining there. 

“..Yeah, I am. Why?” She prompted, obviously growing weary, but she didn’t ridicule him for his question nor did she immediately sass him back like Lyn would.

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?

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 had heard the sounds above her home when she came back from her closing shift at the bar down below.. and despite the bone deep weariness she had, she made her way to the roof. Seeing a man who looked an awfully lot like Sheldon had her heart picking up, her body acting before she could think when she saw the thrashing man. 

She jerked back when Syx woke with a start, both ebony ears turned back, but still visible. They were quite a ways from being pinned to the back of her head. Her light blue eyes were filled with concern for the stranger.. she knew it wasn’t Sheldon, but the similarities of them were far too close for her to simply ignore it. 

“Are you alright?” she urged, her tail moving to curl around her as it laid along the ground.
