The day had gone quite differently to be honest, usually I would get up for work but on the way there i heard an engine with no car, and the heat signatures of Minion peered next to me as he held out a spray can. I quickly grabbed it and held it from his reach.
"No need." I grinned. "I know where we are going." Opening the door i sat in the back seat as Minion drove us to the lair.
"He's been quite excited to see you." Minion said, trying to create small talk.
"Oh has he now? I suppose he took up the offer on how to tie ropes better."
"Ah, something like that. Now, don't say anything but he's been requesting we kidnap you, rather than Roxanne." He chuckled and swam around in his bowl head, and I leaned towards him from the back seat.
"So i suppose I'll be expecting it from now on?"
"Unless you want the thrill of letting Megamind believe you to be scared."
I poked his shoulder toyingly. "Consider it done."

Once we had gotten to the base, Minion picked up the spray can that had knock out spray. "May I?"
"Ah, i guess." I closed my eyes as the spray hit me, I inhaled and felt myself fall onto the car seats.

Moments later, I woke again in a chair but in a different room, in fact the one with Megaminds plans for a new hero, and i was attached to a swivel chair with rope bound around my body and the chair, rather than just my arms. Reaching my feet to the floor, I swiveled myself to the other side, looking through his ideas as if i had not seen them already. It had definitely been updated for sure, now that he HAD a new hero, Hal, and information about him that Megamind or Minion may need to know.
"I've got them, sir, in your idea room."
"Ah, minion! They werent to see the plans yet!"
"I apologize."
"No use for it now, i shall be but a moment."
"Don't forget this, its for your head."
"Thank you minion, now be gone, i have important business to attend to!"

I heard the curtains move, and Megaminds thick boots thud on the concrete flooring. "Ah, i see you are awake and have seen my plans. Are you afraid, dear temptress/tempter?" Another thud, Megamind had placed an ice pack beside his feet before continuing about.

I swiveled myself to face him, a light grin. "Excellent to see a face of villainy, I'm quite afraid I must say, what exactly do you plan on doing with a hero to fight like you did with C-" I caught myself. "Metro man?"
"Have I scared you so much that I am keeping you at a loss of words? Fantastic!" He walked over and placed a hand at the backing of the chair, coming close to my face. "You see, ruling MetroCity isn't much fun when you don't have anyone who will fight for it, takes all the pizzazz from the job." He quickly moved his face from mine and looked away, just seeing a small pink tint on the tips of his ears. "And so, while creating a hero I will have a battle worth knowing, all throughout history people will tell about it!"
"And why tell me this?" I asked.
"Well, simply because we need bait, and I am not able to tie knots very well, which is why you will teach me, or rot in with no chance of escape!"
I nodded. "Sounds fair, I'll help." This would be a good way to keep an eye on him and his hero.
He hopped over to me giddily and began undying the binds, and we soon got to work, myself teaching him different knots and different ways to move the cord, making it tighter. I had him practice on my arms, telling him what he had done right and incorrect. He was quite endearing, asking if it was too tight, but also cute about how he would get excited of a knot well made, or a binding well executed. I suppose he had caught me staring in awe when he looked up and snapped his fingers.
"Did you hear what I said y/n?"
"What? Oh, yes yes! I believe that you should make his suit white but also red, rather than gold."
"Ah, i see! Fantastic idea. And you shall help me make it, word has it that you helped create Metro Mans suit as well."
"I.. I guess." I went quiet and he stopped working on practice tying my hands together.

"Still sore, huh?"

I faced down to him from my original sight of the ceiling, seeing a somber look appear on his face.
"I suppose.. I am as well. Its not everyday a hero comes to fight great evil." He made a fist and shot it up into the air, though it didn't make it past his eyebrows, only to then fall back at his sides. "We may not have gotten along but we were close, when it came to conquering or saving Mectrocity."
I brought my wrists to my face and took the end of the tie with my teeth, pulling it loose. "You've got yourself a new hero now, though." I said, trying to cheer him up.
"Its not the same, im having to train this one."
"Wait. You are training a superhero?"
"He isn't that amazing - yet - he needs some, well, pushing in the right direction."

I stood up and grabbed the rope that had been thrown about, putting it on the swivel chair in a polite pile. "Hey, I have some things to attend to, but good luck with your.. Hero training." I grabbed the ice pack and brought it up to him, my fingers brushing against his hands. "I'll see you soon!" I smiled, quickly leaving and getting to my job.

Megamind sat there, placing the ice pack slowly to his head not quite understanding what happened, but got up and walked to his plan board and began placing down more ideas with a slight smile.
