Forbidden Fruit Tastes Best

Barbie turned her head. Bright emerald eyes meet the eyes of the disguise. Not that she knows its a disguise. She smiled gently. Sheldon lifted his head up and out of the water to look at the other man.

“Hello! I’m Barbie. This is Sheldon.”

Licking at the back of his teeth, the alien is continuing to keep to himself, scanning the approaching people ahead of him before catching sight of Barbie. That wasn’t a look he was familiar with… though he did recognize the type of fish she was with, watching as the smaller creature was released into the lake.

Curiosity prompts him forward, taking the chance to venture closer and find out what was going on. Even so, his approach is roundabout, recent events still in mind.

The magenta alien approaches the water. Having taking off her shoes and socks. She had worn shorts for this very reason and pulled the sweater up a bit to make sure it stayed dry. She waded till the water was at her knees. This allowed Sheldon to playfully bump her legs and nuzzle her while still being able to go off and have his own kind of fun. She laughed as she reached down and gave him and gentle stroke on the top of his head.

Trilling quietly to himself, when Azlariel is finally close enough to be heard he’s still being cautious to keep out of arm’s reach, keeping his greeting quiet when he finally does speak up.

Sighing, Azlariel is keeping to himself, mostly. Watching the people passing by from his vantage point somewhat further up the beach, disguise watch on as per habit.

Incredible illustrator @thelatestkate has never been afraid to talk about difficult topics; in the past, she’s shared her personal experiences with depression and leaving her religion, and her courage and candidness are always inspirational to us.

“All in the past now, yeah? And I made it here! I’ve got all my wonderful friends who have been so very kind. Metro Man and Rex both have said they will make sure he doesn’t find me again.”

Sheldon was doing small, simple tricks in the fountain. Entertaining the youngster as he used to do for his sister, his ward. Jumps. Flips. Dives.

…but it’s working.

“Yeah other actors thought the same thing until they actually met me. Also people paid….high for that reason too.”

She didn’t have to watch the child or the fish knowing he would keep the girl safe. 

“And no embarrassment is had here. I do not feel ashamed for my job. Just ashamed about my past that lead me to it. Apparently Detective Rex had a hand in getting me and Sheldon away from….him.”

While Maria and the fish got acquainted, Six turned back to Barbie. “I used to think that as well, but we found out otherwise. And I know several other human-and-blue couples who have children.” He thought of Katelynn and her artist husband, who’d welcomed their first baby in August, and of how Harrison had gotten Ramona pregnant. Not to mention Roxanne and the female Megamind (though, since a magic anon had been involved, that might be a special case). “We all come from different dimensions, though, so our genetics may not all be the same.”

He could tell Barbie was trying to avoid mentioning something inappropriate in front of Maria, and he scanned her mind a little deeper. 

She was … a sex worker? And she…

“Good….”

Barbie almost jumped again at him when he exclaimed her name at that. She smiled nervously but nodded.

“Yeah…yeah I’m that one as you said….My start in such a business wasn’t one of a…well….consensual choice and I just found I was good at it and once I got to a safer environment for it I kinda blossomed.”

She laughed nervously and was grateful when sheldon started to cough. He also was feeling really dry in her hands.

Since Barbie seemed all right with it, he let Maria get up from the stroller and approach the fish. “Be careful, sweetheart. You need to be gentle with him, understand? Ask before you touch him.” 

Maria gave a solemn nod. While she could sometimes be mischievous, she could tell when her father was serious about the need to listen. “Uh… hi.” She waved again. 

“Pet….please….

Barbie looked up at Six. Surprise visible in her eyes. Damn it was a good thing she always insisted on protection being used in her line of work.

“Woah…really?! I thought those of our kind couldn’t…you know….with them…I mean especially in my profession….before the modeling with Harrison…”

“I think thats the name I was told. I’ve mainly stayed around Rex, Megamind, Harrison and Metroman.” 

She shrugged. Sheldon moved to the very edge of the fountain. Seeing how intrigued the child was. Magenta fingers dipped into the water and scooped him up gently. She knelt down and held him out. The fish would be alright out of the water for the girl to investigate.
