Computer God...
CHARACTERS: Megamind, Kirk, Spock, Caprica, Isaac, & Tali, and whoever else might join them.
LOCATION: Engineering.
WARNINGS: Megamind talks too much.
SUMMARY: Megamind's promised a tour of engineering. What it's going to be is more like...a a confession.
NOTES: None specific; pose order as we go, let's not be too strict about it in a scene with this many people?
He waited for them outside the lift on one of the engineering levels, still twirling the screwdriver he'd found between his fingers. It was a brief moment for self-reflection, and Megamind didn't like that much. If this were home, Minion would give him a pep talk, suggest they kidnap Roxanne, and move on with their lives.
Minion wasn't here. Oh, Tony Stark got his Minion, but no, not Megamind. Secretly, he was a little bit glad. That meant Minion was safe at home; not crammed in some awkward human body that he'd never know how to use or steer, or worse, still a fish in his robot suit, and thus, even more vulnerable to anybody who wanted to take a few swings with a hammer at the glass.
So-- there was no one to give him a pep talk. Nobody to prepare him for the uncomfortable things that confession could lead to. He had to put on his big villain's pants (such as they were) and face the truth:
They were going to find out he was just as screwed as the rest of them, with as much to learn, and they were going to ridicule him, and refuse to let him help. That he wanted to help scared him enough-- but he was already imagining being very small, in the time out corner, always trying to help, always trying to impress and never, ever quite making the cut. Never good enough. Always bad. Heck, they coudln't even listen to him when he knows bad.
Still, he had to try. It might be a fight he couldn't win, but he still had to take a swing.
