"Happy Metro Man Day, Metro City!" The newscast of Roxanne Richie said cheerfully on the radio of the lair. She was going on about how selfless and beautiful and big-hearted Metro man is and how the new museum is a dedication for all of his "hard work".

When she's finished I scoff into my microphone, "Can you believe that crap, Minion. I wonder if she was forced to say all of that or she wrote that from the bottom of her shallow heart."

Minion laughs, "Well, she won't be on camera for long. I'm just approaching the museum."

Minion was out to kidnap Roxanne and pick dad up from jail… that is, if our plan works, "Good, dad has received the watch, but the damn warden took it. I'll initiate scenario B and you swing by the prison once you get Little Miss Roxie."

"Got it!"

"Oh, and Minion… make sure you put the dirty bag over her head."

"You got it, ma'am. Over and out!" Minion ended the call and I switch to the watch’s call channel.

Since I was only fifteen dad didn't actually let me go out into the field with him and Minion. I used to when I was younger so I could lure Metro Man into traps, but even then my father was quick to hide me before the cops came. So my main job for today is monitoring the disguise generator watch and the intercom, and sending out the Brainbots to crash the city's little party for Metro Boy.

It's been almost a month since dad got arrested last so this was refreshing to get back into action.

'Time for the escape plan!'. I have thought of the possible things that could go down with this plan, like the warden taking the watch instead of giving it to dad. Scenario B starts with the watch scanning the Warden so dad could sneak out as him once he has the watch. Then I switch the watch to change the warden into dad and applied voice application, so he sounds like dad too.

Over the intercom, I heard people gasping and the warden scolding a few guards, but they quickly grabbed him, tased him, and dragged him back to dad's cell. I was then informed that the watch was switched off the disguise due to a new wearer.

The warden groaned, "You fools! He's tricked us."

Then I heard dad, "You were right." He switched the watch to appear as the warden, "I'll always be a villain." He cackles evilly.

"Woohoo!" I pump my fist in the air and called Minion, "Got Roxanne?"

"Tied up and unconscious as we speak." Minion said.

"Good! Dad has escaped. If you're not there, get to the prison ASAP!"

"Right away, ma'am! See you back at the lair?" He asked.

"Of course, but I'm going to change into something more presentable for our guest. Send dad my love!"

"Will do!" Then he ended the call. I stood up and stretched as I walked to my room. Dad was free, little Roxie is kidnapped and Metro Man is in for the surprise of his life.

I opened my closet and grabbed my costume for my evil alter ego, De Vil. I smirked as I put on my mask. 'Man, it's so good to be bad!'
