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 wasnât actually wearing stressed the-the algorithms in the watch and increased the likelihood heâd end up looking like a CGI character come to life.Â
Smoothing out his leather jacket, Syx grinned at his uncle and leaned against the counter. Chatting about business and news since heâd been in prison. Passing on messages from those who were still inside.Â
Noticing Paige coming in he gave her a little wave, heading over toward her and plopping down in her tattoo chair as if he hadnât turned down every offer sheâd ever made to give him one. He flashed her a wide charming smile, green eyes shining.Â
âDraw up anything new while I was gone?â he always adored seeing her sketches for her designs.Â
âBuying isnât necessary,â Syx gave her a confused look, âItâs my Uncles. But if you mean you get food because youâre with me, then yes I believe that would be what they call, âmy treatâ,â he rather wished he could double check with Minion about this sort of thing first.Â
He nodded and followed her, smoothing the high-necked mantle up as his trying to hide his large head. His hunched shoulders only making the cowl stand up more. He felt horribly exposed on the walk to her car.
Paige noticed how Syx was acting, noticed how uneasy he felt out in the open air. She led him to her old, obviously used vehicle, unlocking it and sliding into the drivers seat. She looked over at him once he was inside, frowning some.
âAre you sure you donât want to go.. home? Or..?â she trailed off, unsure just what it was that was making him act so uneasy.Â
âJust tired,â Syx explained away, relaxing once in the vehicle. He gave her the directions to his Uncleâs restaurant, fidgetting with his costume as he sat in the passenger seat.Â
âIâm not really good at this,â he sighed, it was easier when he had a mask on whether it was the fake face or the mantle of Megamind. The only people who knew Syx were family, âWhat… do we talk about now?â
âAnd what do we have here?â Zagamâs 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 wasnât 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. âPretty artefact you have here. Is it yours?â He asks with playfully interest.
Syx hesitated, batting his side for his de-gun to assure himself, âMetro Man might show up first but the cops always come afterward. I really have no intention of going to jail today. I have plans.â
Moving along beside Zagam, he continued, âI normally donât go into a fight with Metro Man unless Iâm prepared. Iâm hardly a match for him without my tech,â he admitted as he waved a hand at all the destroyed robots on display, âEven the idiot cops I wonât fight without backup. Thatâs why I built so many bots. One on one? Iâll win easily. I canât fight even five at once, though. Iâm not super human, just intelligent.â
And part of being smart was knowing when to run away.Â
âIâm correct in guessing those are limitations that a leader of hell armies doesnât have when faced with normal humans?â the blue man surmised, âIf you get me arrested for your amusement, I wonât forgive you,â he warned.
âplease! and stop a handsome officer to check me all.â he smiled playfully but kicked the smile. âDon0t be so dramatic. The police would run away just to see me. and you are with me now. Are you really thinking Iâm leaving you all alone and without protection? Please!. I am a devil but not that vain.â he pouts at Syx and moved his hand away  after the blue alien rejected it.Â
âOr we can fly away. easy. Donât get me wrong. I love how you plan everything, but Dear Dorothy, this is not Kansas anymore. You will survive. Trust meâ
Syx hummed in thought as he looked around them, âWell hardly any point in this now,â he spun the watch and revealed his true appearance again, âAnd no, I donât really trust you. Weâve only just met. Iâd be a fool to trust you so easily.â
Still, he moved a bit closer to the devil. He didnât have the same trust that Zagam did that the cops wouldnât just open fire when they showed up, âIf Iâm Dorthy, what does that make you? Glinda?â
âAnd what do we have here?â Zagamâs 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 wasnât 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. âPretty artefact you have here. Is it yours?â He asks with playfully interest.
âHard to walk? So⌠you actually change shape then? Itâs not just an illusion like mine,â Syx hummed in thought, âHow does that work?â
âActually you do,â Syx corrected, âIâve watched Minion plenty of times before he kicked me out of the kitchen. Cakes normally haveâŚâ he squinted his eyes as he looked for the memory, âAbout a small spoon of salt in them.â
âYes. human clothes donât fit me well and the idea of walk exposed doesnât fall into the mortal daily routine. They are a little picky when their eyes lay on you.â His lips formed a delicate grin, that could be more taken as a tease. âAnd no illusions, no. it worksâŚ..shapeshifting? my skin shape changes so fast that itâs almost imperceptible to the human eye.â Zagam shrugs, unable to form a more scientist explanation to describe the devils abilities.
âHaha, a spoon during the cooking. thatâs just to help the ingredients to merge. Nothing has to do with chance the flavor of the cream into a salty cream. Would you add salt to your ice cream after served or salt to a simple coffee? â he tilts his head aside to the question, fixing his eyes on Syxâs-
âHmmm… no, but then most people look to my sugar intake the same way theyâd look at adding salt to strange things,â Syx shrugged.Â
Walking to the next part of the exhibit. It featured a large statue of Metro Man holding him up by the neck. The blue man cringed at the sight of it. Returning to the earlier part of the conversation he tipped his head, âWhat sort of parts do you have that donât fit into standard clothing? Are you… like a werewolf or something? Or… wait you said devil. You donât mean the whole hoofed foot thing is right, do you? I always figured that was as fictitious as unicorns.â
At Minionâs direction, a brain bot appeared and draped Megamindâs 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.Â
Stroking the botâs dome, Megamind mused, âYou donât have any family here then?â he frowned, âDo you have any plans at all?âÂ
He tried to remind himself not to get involved. This wasnât 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.
âThere you are, Missâ Minion beamed, ever the helpful and bubbly hench-fish.
Shaking her head once more, Sarah replied with a sad tone to her voice. âI donât 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 soulâ 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.Â
She threw a fleeting glance in Minionâs 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 1600â˛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.Â
âI Thank theeâ She commented before she took a bite out of the cookie she swallowed before she spoke again. âThis is delicious thy a wonderful cookâÂ
âOh thank you!â Minion replied brightly, âThe secret is al-â
âDonât tell her all of our secrets!â Megamind hissed, glaring at his loose-lipped friend.Â
â-mond extract,â Minion finished, giving the blue man a sidelong look, âI highly doubt sheâs going to dupe our evil plans based on my cookie recipe, Sir.â
âFirst itâs cookies, Minion! Next, it will be the secrets of DNA extraction!â Megamind flailed his arms around as he paced, âYou mustnât let them worm their way into your weak-willed mind.â
Minion let out a long watery sigh, âIf you say so, Sir.â
Spinning back around to their captive, Megamind pursed his lips, âWell you canât stay here. I live here,â he narrowed his eyes at her, he wonât be able to live with himself if he knew she was going to be sleeping on the streets, âIâm a super villain, not a charity.â
Pursing his lips, Megamind was a bit suspicious at how quickly she agreed, but ah there it was! Shaking a finger, he answered, âAh, no, no, Iâm afraid I will have to insist upon the bag, Miss Ritchi,â he expected the standard protest, but he quickly held up the bag. It was a new one, just for today, orange with a jack-o-lantern grin to add to the theming, âI canât have you using your willy reporter skills to learn my secrets.â
Looking over her outfit again, he realised how long she said sheâd been out. Presentation really was everything. The both were used to putting on a public face and heâd always made sure she could look her best before being on camera. So he offered, âDid you want to freshen up or change first?â
She pressed her lips together and let a sigh pass through her lips at the sight of the new bag,she hated to admit it but he was right about that.
She nodded her head once in agreement before looking down at her outfit delicately but slowly running her fingers over the very soft fabric of the skirt and the long sleeved corset type of top and she felt her cheeks flush slightly at the sudden thought running through her mind: how was she meant to get the top off on her own, she really didnât want Megamind to see her cloth less body so getting changed into something else while he was here was really out of the question.Â
âOh yes I think itâd be the right idea to freshen up a bit first before going on the cameras after all as you always say: Presentation is everything. I wonât be a momentâ She answered before she turned and walked into the apartment room heading over towards the bathroom.Â
Once she got there, she shut the door and removed the cape  and the wig so they wouldnât get in the way while she was redoing her makeup.
Checking his watch, Megamind sighed. This was going to put them dangerously behind schedule, but it would ruin the night just as much if Roxanne had running make-up or had a wardrobe malfunction. It would hardly be the first time heâd called a fight for those reasons. Still, it frustrated him. The Pum-King had to be tonight! Otherwise, heâd have to wait until next year to use the bot!
Following her into the apartment, Megamind wandered into the kitchen while Roxanne shut herself away into the bathroom. Idly and brashly, he poked through the fridge. Maybe he should get a drink while he waited? He could only guess how long it might take. His own costuming would take hours if he had to do it without the assistance of Minion and his brain bots.
Roxanne crossed her and glared at the blue man sitting on her balcony railing. It would be so easy to just push the asshole off the ledge and be done with him, âWhat is it Megamind, you are being cryptic and I am far to tired for this shit, alright? Itâs god awful in the morning and some of us have actual jobs!â
âYouâre his âgirlfriendâ you should know something!â Megamind leaned forward instantly, barely hanging onto the edge onto the railing he was perching on. They both knew that Roxanne wasnât actually dating Metro Man, well Syx did now anyway, but sheâd still been closer to Wayne for longer that the blue man had been, âYou have to know whatâs going on with him! Go call him up or talk to him or something!â
Roxanne pinched the bridge of her nose, teeth gritted, as she pulled her thin robe closer around her to cover her pajamas. Even after the revelation, the villain before her seemed to refuse to accept that her and Wayne Scott had never had a close relationship. She had coworkers she was closer with than Wayne, âIâm going back to bed.â
âHey!â Megamind shouted as she turned to leave, lunging forward to stop her from entering her apartment, âMiss Ritchi, this is important.â
Pulling away from him, Roxanne glared at the super villain, âOh dear god Megamind, I swear to god if you kidnap me to have this conversation I will drive one of those spikes through your foot.â
Both were so caught up in their heated debate they were completely unaware that they had company…
[TXT: such a naughty boy. Not getting enough attention are you? >;) ]
[TXT: *sucking in a breath at the thought* Biting is good. When I let you. But maybe sometime I can get caught. Bad boy that I am. And punished. Just no permanent marks ]
[TXT MSG: Well you are a very bad boy.  Good thing I have a weakness for bad boys.  I promise to go easy on youâŚ. at least at first đ ]
[TXT: Iâll warn you that Iâm quite the ~escape artist~ getting caught and turning the tides if half the fun. So youâd best be nice when Iâm captured for Iâll always be free once again. >;3 ]
