I tell you all that, and you harp on my name?

[Really, do you have no soul, Paul?]

[probingtime]

You sound like some second rate comic book villian, man.

[hvymetalheroics]

I was a FIRST RATE villain and reformed into a fantastic hero, thank you very much!

[probingtime]

I'm just saying.

[hvymetalheroics]

[Megamind just massages his temples. Oh Paul.]

Regardless of my name being second rate, I still have something I've got to do.

So.

Either you can come with me, or you can drop me off when we find some abandoned cars. I should be able to cobble something together then...

[probingtime]

I don't know about you, but I'd just like to get out of this alive.

[hvymetalheroics]

[There's a long look and he shrugs his narrow shoulders.]

Then I guess you can drop me off somewhere and... go wherever you think is safe.

[He digs in his bag again, this time pulling out what looks like a battered iPad (with a bunch of classic hard rock/heavy metal stickers on the back) and begins to type something on it and then passes it over.]

Those are the major hot spots as current from my satellite hook up. You get me to a car I can salvage, it's all yours.

[probingtime]

I'll see what I can do, man.

[The trouble with these desert roads out west? Not too much in the way of other cars on the road, really. It's pretty... deserted. Doesn't help that the aliens are invading and everyone's probably dead or enslaved.]

[hvymetalheroics]

[Don't think that Megamind doesn't know that. He's -- pretty tense, looking out the window.]

[But he also refuses to let this go, so driving onward they go.]

Not your first time to the planet, I take it?

[Also, even when tense, he is a chatty motherfucker.]

[probingtime]

I was stranded here for sixty years. Decided to swing back for a visit. I picked a hell of a time.

[hvymetalheroics]

Really? I've been here my whole life. Well, Minus eight days, but who's counting?

But---yes. Great timing.

[Paul doesn't seem like an advance scout, since he hasn't spat acid or anything...]

[probingtime]

The name Clive Gollings mean anything to you?

[Yeah, he's name-dropping. What of it?]

[hvymetalheroics]

[Megamind thinks on this, and frankly, as a near eidetic memory. It doesn't take him long to put things together, and then... gestures weakly.]

...you've missing a few additions to be that Paul.

Is that some seriously artistic license, or are you going to swap genders without warning? Because if so, I'd really appreciate it if you put on shirt on first.

[probingtime]

Please. Everyone knows space babes are a better selling point.

[hvymetalheroics]

Well, I'm not gonna deny that.

But still. You're not my type, and I'm pretty sure if we added a third breast into the equation I'd die. I barely handle two--

[a beat]

If we do in fact save my girlfriend from the evil invaders? This conversation is never repeated.
