Headquarters::Location Unknown::Mega and Macon

[_into_the_fray_]

Roger and Aaron tried to walk next to Macon as they moved through town, leaving the Zapper HQ together and trying to look as if they simply blended into their surroundings. Leading Macon through town to their quiet headquarters on the outskirts, Aaron entered the building first. Melvin stood in the foyer with a clipboard, talking to a few Technos,

Macon nodded to Melvin as he warned him about Mega and he didn't expect this visit to be pleasant considering he knew that his little trip to the mall wasn't part of Mega's plans. Taking a deep breath, he walked into the room where Mega was, completely, at least he thought, prepared for what was about to happened to him. He scaned the room before resting his eyes on Mega and clearing his throat.

"Yes, sir.. You summoned me?"

[_mega_]

Mega stood with his back to the doorway, standing with his heels 12 inches apart, legs straight but not stiff. His hands where behind his back, at the small of his back, elbows bent, and his hands were folded together, palms outward, right hand in the palm of his left, right thumb over the left, forming an X. His head was straight, thought his shoulders slumped forward naturally, and he was silent and immobile. His eyes seemed as if they were trained on the monitors in front of him, watching the quiet streets, no one was fighting anywhere, not color war kids, not virts, nothing. His right hand lifted simply and he snapped, a silent command set in place long before the arrival of Macon

Macon waited uncomfortably for Mega to speak, his eyes shifting around, the silence almost unbearable. He didn't know what was in store for him, but the silence of Mega was never a good sign. Macon briefly contemplated making a run for it, Mega and his band of psychotic Technos could do some rather scary stuff, as Macon had witnessed and experienced for himself in the past, but he knew he'd never make it out of the front door. Macon knew how this worked, and he also wasn't a pansy, he would take whatever was given to him and he'd survive. Mega needed him, he wouldn't throw him away, there was no way he could train a new person to replace him, and that fact helped Macon keep his cool

Mega listened, returning to his parade rest position, one hand folded into the other, a military stance taught to all Technos. He could feel the anger fuming inside of him, but his voice came out evenly, finally, after a few more minutes of silence and Macon's frightened whinging. "Shut up Macon," he told him smoothly, not turning, as if he wasn't good enough to have Mega face him. "I know who you are, you incompetent idiot," Mega finally turned, but his face kept it's steely gaze, not looking at Macon, "You know, the best way to maintain control of a city is to fill it with fear, but not to actually give it anything to fear. Fear of the unknown is quite a tool, and you," he walked towards the boy, circling the chair, "you have messed that up," he stopped and bent over to look the boy directly in the face
