“I’d like to know more about the city, your experience in it,” she waved a hand, she wouldn’t be able to use it in a piece but this would be far more engaging mentally than the puff pieces she’d been assigned lately.
“About your childhood and so forth. My main experiences with Megamind were as an adult and in that kidnapping chair,” she put her hand on her hip, “I want to learn about the other side, the other possibilities. What do they call it? Mirror-verse? String theory?” she fluttered a hand not sure which thing it should be called without referencing notes.
“Sorry, if that seems a bit too self-interested,” she ducked her head and tucked a bit of hair behind her ear, “My life has revolved around Megamind for nearly a decade… and now… I’m just realizing how much I don’t know.”
“Um, okay?” Why she was being asked this by someone who was obviously older than Lucy was the teenager didn’t know. Still used to people she didn’t know dismissing her because of her age.
“It, um- that’s okay.” Even if it sounded weird to her that Roxanne had for the most part little else going on for that long, keeping a wary eye on the brunette. “Should probably find a place that’s, um, better to talk in, right?”
“Oh of course, I was on my way to the library but they generally frown on talking. Coffee?” she registered Lucy’s age and reoffered, “Cocoa or tea? There are plenty of quiet little places around here.”
Coffee was an adult drink, wasn’t it? Though the reporter had started drinking it with her dad when she was 14. Back when finding the truth was the only thing that mattered and they’d stay up all night chasing leads. Which is rather what was driving Roxanne of late. The need to understand the city she was in now, to piece everything together. Her work was suffering for it… but she couldn’t bring herself to care about any of those trivial news pieces or the latest round of the same political garbage when a true Earth shaking mystery lay before her.
