The evil shadow (Despicable me x reader)

39. Dangerous wind

The location of the girls was close by, according to the gadget Gru was using. That they had to walk over a bridge, while lava was flowing beside it, took some guts to master. The other side was rather unusual, letting in a water fall, while below developed a thick mist. At least they couldn't see how far it gone down. The brothers hesitated at first, seeing how thin the bridge was. For Gru not understandable, "How can anyone walk over such a bridge? It is way too small "Suddenly, they heard footsteps behind them. Gru grabbed his brother arm and orders him to follow him up the walls beside the entrance. An old man appeared. With his wheelchair, that turned the bottom into several rolls, he glided over the thin bridge, like it was some kind of train tracks. Now Gru had his answer. Remembering him from the villain con, he knew they were close, "Okay Dru, we use our slime mode. For this, we have to lie down and mode forward bit by bit, like going up a tree." Like the one time, as they went to Bratt's place, he had to help his brother out. Pushing him with his head forward was nothing he would be proud to tell, considering it was pressed against Dru's butt. A fart might be fatal at this point.

On the other side, Gru had to rub his face, feeling really embarrassed. Memo to myself, teach Dru how to use his suit more effectively, he thought to himself. Dru waited with excitement, completely forgetting the previous moment. The next room around the corner was no better than the one before. Gru had to swallow hard...there were several bridges to the other side. While Dru smiled, his brother was mentally vomiting. Why me, he thought.

The girls were all in one cage, while another man was held in another. Hanging on the ceiling they could see underneath the lava, flowing like a lake, making it extremely hot at the place. Agnes felt unwell, lying in M's arms. Edith tries to get the bars open, while causing the cage to move around.

"Stop it Edith, you are making it worse!"

"I am only trying to help!"

Agnes eyes were almost closed, "I am thirty Margo."

From the distance, the man in the wheelchair watched his hostage suffer, pressing a button. From above a sprinkler system went off, while underneath the fog was rising. It wasn't enough to drink or feel refreshed. The man laughed at their frustrated expressions. With interest, he rolled towards the lake of lava, "No need to look so depressed my dears. I am sure someone will come and rescue you soon." The guy looked in his direction, "You are Wendigo!"

The man laughed, "And you are Carl, a close friend from N/A...or shall I say...Shadow? "

Carl would have spat at the old man, if only he was in reach, "Why can't you leave her alone?!"

"Reverse question...why didn't you?"

This made Carl silent, knowing that he was right. He never told me about himself. Wendigo however, seem to know him very well, "It was no coincidence, that you let her live with you. You have been the famous henchmen for a long time, till you decided to call it quits. Unlike you, she belongs in the world of evil, she will never change sides."

"With you haunting her down, how could she?"

"She belongs to me, my henchmen. Robert thought he could protect this little girl from us, but he was naïve. As long she is alive, she is mine and mine only."

The girls had listened to the conversation, not believing what they heard. The babysitter they came to love so much was actually a villain. Edith finds it awesome, while the others weren't too sure about it. But one thing Margo was certain, "She is good hearted, N/A can change to the better!"

"You think?" he grinned wide; "...I guess she didn't mention her revenge on the entire Gru family, including getting rid of you."

Agnes shook her head weakly, "You're lying, N/A loves us."

"Keep dreaming dear, you see her true side soon."

Wendigo turned around ad was heading towards the exit, until Carl spoke up, "You think you can mess with her? Don't underestimate this girl!"

"I am not I can assure you. I respect my henchmen, as long as she behaves." With that, we left, leaving only a long shadow behind. With his wheelchair, that had large antlers at its back attached, it looked like a real Wendigo. The way he also treats his enemies were also the reason he got his name.

By that time, Gru's face was turning green. The last bridge, Dru couldn't stop the wind.

At least he was so kind to warn him first....at the middle of the bridge, "Gru...I can't hold it any longer...I have to break wind"

"Keep it in!"

"It is breaking loose"

"Don't you dare!"

Dru closed his eyes, "It wants to get out"

"I am warning you!"

...

...

...

..."Gru?"

"What?!"

Dru bit his lip, "...incoming."

And what was one of the worst things that could happen at a time like this...it was a silent killer.

"What did you eat?!" Gru needed a lot of control not to breath till they reached the end. Eggs on toast...why?"

Gru's face changed in color, "Just guessing."

At least he had a break now, continuing their path to find the girls. Dru headed toward a door and looked amazed at the several statures, "Look at this Gru, figures of women!" They all made different poses, but apart from that, nothing were different. As the brothers were in the middle of the room, the door closed itself, while a sound was heard from the other side. Something locked their way out, this only means that they can only go forward. Since they were in a room of beautiful statures, they should hurry. Gru was right behind his brother, as one of the figures moved. Dru didn't notice, looking at another stature, "They all look a little like N/A."

"Dru, it is not time to interact with art"

Gru was right, because it had other plans for the two, getting off their platforms. While they prepared to fight the intruders, Gru and Dru looked at each other.

"You know what I am thinking?" , grinned Gru, ready to get out his Martial art skills.

"Totally..." answered Dru, turning on his heel and ran towards the next door, with his hands up in the air, "...run!!!!!!!!!"
