This was a fantastic beginning to a new chapter, exploring a much ignored aspect of the Megamind film. I don’t think I’ve read any fic that deals with what the HECK happened to Bernard immediately after Minion found him in the laundry machine, and bopped him on the head with the forget me stick. Poor Bernard was bound to be in for a rough couple of days (if not weeks) re-adjusting back to whatever was left of his normal life. So I was so pleased to see that beginning of a fic that’s going to be covering that.

Heeee! And I also love that we’re going to be seeing this played out from a completely neutral perspective. Bernard’s point of view might be fun and interesting, but I think there’s a limit to how much of his inner-thoughts I can take!

Which is why I’m already VERY fond of Chloe. LOL! The poor girl has been through a rough time herself. Newly moved to a city, during a time when the metropolis suffered through massive upheavals, including, but not limited to the unexplained disappearance of her boss, AND the complete destruction of her work-place. Talk about steep adjustment curve, eh? LOL! We’re not even going to LOOK at the absurdity of her city being attacked by a megalomaniacal super-powered bully, and then being saved by a self-proclaimed evil mastermind, LOL!

So I really enjoyed Chloe’s introduction, and how it was explained why the poor girl was essentially sitting, stunned and shell-shocked, at the base of a destroyed museum, just trying to take a breather and get her bearings in all of this chaos! It provides a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why Bernard’s very own assistant was the only witness to Bernard being returned back to the museum from which he was abducted… two weeks ago… by the newly minted hero and defender or Metro-City, LOL! The coincidence and absurdity of the situation was deliciously priceless, and had be ROTFLMAO! I loved it!

Oh, and poor Bernard. Literally dumped back at the broken, destroyed museum, without so much as an apology or an explanation about what happened. It was hilarious seeing Megamind’s skewed perspective that everything was put into its proper place because he returned his kidnapped victim back to his ‘home’, TWO WEEKS after the initial kidnapping, after two weeks of impersonating the poor guy for his own self-serving purposes. Seriously, you’ve gotta feel sorry for poor, mal-used, mistreated Bernard.

Oh well, at least Chloe was there to welcome Bernard back to consciousness. His assistant, ready and waiting to help out her boss with whatever orders he spouted at her. It could have been a lot worse for Bernard, as far as rude awakenings go, LOL! Fantastic chapter. Thanks for posting. Please post more soon!

Wow, you're JUST TOO FANTASTIC! I don't think I've ever gotten such a detailed review of anything I've ever written. Thank you so much!

I'm really enjoying writing Bernard from an outside perspective. Not only do I get to develop and expand his personality, but I also get to write other people's reactions to whatever he dishes out. XD

I'm so glad that you're enjoying Chloe. I'm always nervous when creating an OC, knowing how many stereotypical Mary Sues are out there, and how they make people wary of all OCs, even the good ones. If there was a character in the present Megamind universe whom I felt I could've use for the purposes of my fic, I would've used him or her. However, none of them just seemed to fit what I was looking for, so I decided to create my own. I just hope I did a good job.

I've done some brainstorming for this fic and I'm about a page into chapter two now! I'm so excited about everything that's going to happen and about all of the new characters which will eventually make their way into the story! Expect some Chloe backstory and emergency room adventures in the near future. XD
