Chapter Seven:
*M*E*G*A*M*I*N*D*
Eventually, all of the three avengers not currently incapacitated or busy found their way into the room that had previously held a devious god in it's depths. Megamind had been walking around aimlessly when he had heard the two in the room. Normally, the blue alien would have gone and joined in without a second thought, and all of them knew that, but the man who was under the illusion wasn't stupid. He knew not to talk to them because he could break his character, and then his lord wouldn't be able to achieve his goal.
"He was doing his job." The tall blonde says calmly to the slightly shorter one with brown hair, both of them staring at each other intently.
"He was out of his league." The brown haired one answers, seemingly attempting to come up with a reason for reacting like this. "He should have waited. He should have..."
"Sometimes there isn't a way out Tony." The blonde says, attempting to reason with the angry man in front of him.
Megamind is almost ready to turn away when the conversation does nothing but continue. But as soon as he was about to turn away, Tony seems to have a flash of brilliance, and simply says. "Son of a bitch."
"My Lord." Megamind says into the intercom quietly, having snuck into the bathroom and locked the door, and yet still worried about sound leaking out through the walls. "I'm afraid I have some bad news." He says in a deeper and blanker voice than Megamind himself would ever have.
"What is it?" Loki asks plainly from the other side of the comm, not bothering to address the man he took control of or even exchange anything similar to a greeting.
"They have caughten wind of the plans." Megamind replies, Loki clearly sucking in a strained breath from the other side. "They are making way to New York as we speak."
"Get here. Now." Loki growls and immediatly turns off the radio like device they had been using to communicate, turning to the few soldiers on his ship, and the second blue alien he had caught in a week.
"What did you do to him?" Megamind asks with a frown deeply imbedded on his face. He was upset. The black mamba had once again gotten torn to shreds. "Why is he following your every word?"
Loki smirks and looks over to Megamind with a deeply unnerving look on his face. "No worries. Everything will soon make sense." He says, Megamind looking at him as though he's completely crazy. "You see, you will be working with Spelvin now, and you will help me in optimizing the tesseract, and gaining control over Misgard."
"Um, yeah no." Megamind says as he stands up from the uncomfortable benches in the quinjet. "Why would you even expect that?"
"I never said that you had a choice in the matter." Loki smirks as he raises the scepter to Megamind's chest, who immediatly recognizes it and dodges out of the way. "You're not getting away from this. You have no escape."
"You wanna bet?" Megamind asks, tugging a small blue cube out of his pocket. With a slight wince, he spits on it, the cube immediatly growing into a gun with very decorative red stripes on it. Aiming behind himself and keeping a close eye on a scoffing Loki, Megamind pulls the trigger, a bright red laser shooting from it, managing to completely cut off the ramp. "What would you call that?"
Loki scowls and runs forward, Megamind yelping and jumping out of the back with a sigh of relief before noticing the buildings beginning to fly past him. "I...did not think this through..."
"Where the hell is that damned alien?!" Fury yells at the rest of the ones in the room, Clint thoroughly baffled by everything about this situation.
"We don't know director." Steve responds for all of them. "We haven't seen him since the attack on the carrier."
"Sir, it is very possible that he was somehow taken under control, like Hawkeye was." Natasha says and motions to Clint who grimaces and mutters a short apology.
"Let's hope that's not the case." Tony says with a grimace. "As much as I hate to admit to someone elses intelligence, the guys...he a sharp cookie."
"A...sharp cookie?" Fury asks in confusion.
"Look, I got thrown around by rotors! Give my brain a while to recalibrate!" Tony yells, ready to slam his head onto the table in frustration.
"Look, I think we all need to calm down a bit." Natasha says, holding up a hand. "Fury, we'll go to the city in a jet. Stark, you go in the suit." Clint, Steve and Tony all nod, getting ready to leave.
"Don't forget your intercoms." Fury reminds. "It'll be the only way for me to get in touch with you guys. I'll keep the carrier over the ocean."
The members salute and nod, running out of the room to get into their varying uniforms.
Loki. Was. Pissed. Somehow the damn alien had managed to get away. "Megamind!" He yells over the radio, the same empty voice answering him.
"Yes Sir?"
"I need you to sweep the city!" Loki says into the comm slightly louder and more violent than necessary. "Find the alien, and bring him to me!"
"Yes Sir." He says once more, the only difference being the inflection.
Megamind can only scream as the ground gets closer and closer to him. There were people on the street yelling out in fear, and he covered his eyes to get braced for the impact, but instead he was caught by a soft cushion that was strangely familiar. "Well, that was a close one, Sir."
"Oh Minion!" Megamind yells and basically throws himself into the fish/robot/gorilla's arms. "You fantastic fish you!"
Loki was overjoyed when he found out that Tony wasn't even in the tower when he had gotten there. He had Spelvin go out and set up the instruments needed for the portal as he simply watched the edge of the city. "Pathetic humans. Disgusting and gluttonous. Soon this world will be mine. And you all will serve beneath me."
"Hmm..." Megamind hums and looks up at the enormous skyscraper looming over them. "Stark Tower huh? Minion, let us make paste!"
"I think you mean haste, Sir." Minion corrects with a knowing smile.
"Yes." Megamind says with a smile on his face. By god, he missed his Minion. "So Minion, how did you make it here so fast?"
"I put the car on autodriver." Minion says with a happy little flap of his fins. "Remember, we added that function three years ago?"
"Oh yeah. Hah!" Megamind laughs, reclining his feet on the dashboard. "I totally forgot about that!"
"Of course you did." Minion mutters.
"Say, Minion, did you bring the stereo?"
"Yes Sir, why?" Minion asks.
"Well, we won't be able to save Tony without some kickass entrance!" Megamind laughs.
