Megamind X Child!Reader

Chapter 4

"It's him!" You smiled widely. 

Metro Man flew into the air in the middle of the two monitors, speaking into the mic with a cautious, and unhappy tone.

"Megamind!"

"Oh, bravo, Metro Man." Megamind said, clapping mockingly.

Everyone in the crowd bellowed angry boos at him, and Megamind booed back. 

"Boo! Yes, I can play along too. Boo!" 

"Should've known you'd try to crash the party." Metro Man glared at the screen. 

"Oh, I intend to do more than crash it. This is a day, you and Metrocity, shall not soon forget!" The villain stated excitedly.

"It's pronounced, 'Metro City'!" Metro Man corrected boldly.

 "Oh, potato-tomato, potato-tomato." Megamind replied, as childishly sassy as ever. 

You laughed to yourself while still petting the brain-bot. "Classic Megamind."

"We all know how this ends: With you behind bars." Metro Man threatened, although you didn't really care.

"Oh! I'm shaking in my custom baby seal leather boots!" Megamind teased, showing off his boots before smirking confidently.

"You will leave Metrocity, or this will be the last, you ever hear of: 'Roxanne Ritchi'!" He pushed a button off screen, and footage of Roxanne tied up in a chair appeared on the left monitor.

"Roxanne!" Metro Man gasped. "Don't panic, Roxie, I'm on my way." He reached out to her, making you want to gag.

"Yeah, I'm not panicking." Roxanne pointed out, and you almost snorted.

"In order to stop me, you need to find me first, Metro Man." Megamind warned, seemingly a little too confident in his odds of winning.

"--We're at the abandoned observatory." Roxanne blurted out, smirking.

"Ah-ha!" Metro Man exclaimed. 

"Seriously?" You thought, face-palming. 

"AH! No, we're not! Don't listen to her, she's crazy!" Megamind turned off the view of Roxanne, attempting to keep her from making it worse although it was already too late.

Metro Man flew into the air, ignoring Megamind's protests, as per usual.

After a few minutes of waiting, Metro Man was revealed to be in the abandoned observatory, but Megamind, Minion, and Roxanne, were actually not there at all.

"Over here, old friend." Megamind called to Metro Man.

From that point, the two began their usual back to back counter-arguments and whatnot.

"In case you haven't noticed, you've fallen right into my trap."  

"You can't trap justice. It's an idea, a belief!"

"But even the most heartfelt belief can be corroded over time."  

"Justice is a non-corrosive metal."

"But metals can be melted by the heat of revange." 

"It's 'revenge', and it's best served cold!"

"But it can easily be reheated, in the microwave of evil!" 

"Well, I think your warranty is about to expire."

"Maybe I got an extended warranty!"

 "Warranties are invalid if you don't use the product for its intended purpose!"

Roxanne groaned, interrupting the two. "Oh, girls, girls, you're both pretty. Can I go home now?"

"Of course! That is, if Metro Man can withstand the full, concentrated power, of the sun!  Fire!!"

He pointed to the side, meaning he was probably talking to Minion. But after a few moments, nothing happened. Megamind dropped his hand and looked up into nothing briefly, then walked out of the camera view. You could hear the two conversing.

"Minion. Fire?" 

"Uhh, it's still warming up, sir." 

"Come again?" 

"Warming up, sir." 

"Warming up? The sun is warming up?!"

"One second more and... just tippy-tappy tippy-tap-tap, tip-top more and we are ready in just..."  

"--Honestly!" Megamind groaned.

After a few more exchanges of words, Megamind said his farewell, making you frown. 

"Aww man... I don't want him to leave yet..." You thought sadly. It felt like he'd only been there for a couple minutes! It wasn't nearly enough for you.

Suddenly, Metro Man began fumbling and shouting in... a desperate struggle to escape..?

"Dag! Crab nuggets!"

"What did he just say?" You somehow thought as Megamind said it at the same time. 

"'Crab nuggets'..?" Minion replied. 

"Fackled fish cracker!" He hit the ground with a pained groan.

 "Good lord, I'm trapped!" Metro Man stated.

Everyone in the crowd, including yourself, gasped in shock.

"What kind of trickery is this?" Megamind asked in confusion. 

"You mad genius. Your dark gift has finally paid off!" 

"It... it has?" Megamind continued to be completely dumbfounded, and who could blame him?

"This dome... is obviously lined... with copper..!" Metro Man whimpered.

"Yeah? So..?"

"Copper... drains my powers..!" 

"Your weakness is copper?"

"...You're kidding, right?" Both you and Megamind again asked at the same time.

Before anything else could be said, the death ray fired, and the observatory was completely obliterated.

You couldn't see what was left of Metro Man, which arrived in the observatory where Megamind was, but somehow, some way, it seemed that Metro Man was finally... dead.

"You... you did it, sir." Minion said.

"I did it?" Megamind seemed to be in as much disbelief as everyone else was.

"He... he did it!" You gasped.

"I did it! I did it! Metrocity is mine!!"

"He did it!" You shouted, jumping happily, hugging the brain-bot. You didn't care who heard you, even though it was still a mistake.

"It's the Megapainter!" A person shouted. 

You mentally regretted shouting and grabbed your skateboard, fleeing before anyone could catch you, and to your surprise, the brain-bot followed you.

You fled behind one of the buildings and after a while authorities came pouring in, surrounding City Hall. Most of the citizens fled from the area because word had gotten out that Megamind was on his way there.

This was your chance to see him in the flesh!

You'd never watched Megamind from anything more than a screen, leaving you wishing for the day you could see him with your own eyes, and now you finally could!

You waited almost impatiently, anticipating the arrival of your inspiration, and the only one worthy of your admiration, Megamind.
