"Grocery Shopping"

"Grocery shopping" drabbles 2

In the rare occasion Black Hat and company need to travel outside of their home, it's usually when they need to buy groceries. It is Black Hat's worse nightmare, shopping like a normal human being.
Black Hat's eye twitched when Dr. Flug pulled at Dementia's leash as they went through the sliding doors. Dementia was on all fours, barking at terrified passerbys making Dr. Flug struggle against her. He tug at the leash, his sneakers sliding across the market's floors.

"Dementia! Heel! Heel! And stop biting the leash!" Dr.Flug yelled out. Dementia spat out the leash and growled at him. "If you keep acting like that, you won't get any candy!" Dementia's tune swiftly changed and stood up, her arms hanging from her sides.

"Okay-" She sighed.

Black Hat growled deeply in annoyance when he saw the shoppers exchanged glances at the odd group, murmuring amongst themselves.

"Dr. Flug! I do not wish to be here any longer than I need to be!" Black Hat snapped. "Where is 5.0.5 with the blasted shopping vehicle?"

"You mean the cart, Sir?" Dr.Flug replied softly. Black Hat whirled at him with a glare, causing the good doctor to raise his hands up in defense.

"Don't try to correct me, Flug!"

"Sorry Sir!"

"Now, let's hurry and get what we need on the list." Black Hat said, straightening his collar. He pulled out the folded up piece of paper out of his breast pocket, just in time for 5.0.5 to show up with the shopping cart. Dementia quickly jumped inside with a large grin, making Dr.Flug tie the end of the leash to the handlebars of the cart. Black Hat rolled his eyes at her and tossed the paper into Dr.Flug's hands.

"I want everything on that list and into this cart in ten minutes." He said. Dr.Flug opened up the piece of paper and like an accordion, it fell to the floor. Flug's eyes nearly bulged out of his goggles from the amount.

"T-ten minutes, S-sir?"

"Did I stutter?" Black Hat snarled, making Flug gulp and Dementia giggle. Black Hat pointed at his wrist. "Tick-tick, Flug...better get moving."

"Y-yes Sir! Come on 5.0.5!" The trio raced off down the aisle, knocking aside any unsuspecting shopper as Dr.Flug scrambled to get the groceries. Black Hat was left alone, standing silently in the produce section with annoying background music playing in the intercoms. He crossed his arms and tapped his foot. He noticed the other shoppers avoiding him, most even avoiding eye contact with the villain. He does have a reputation, which made his chest swell with pride when he saw the fear in their eyes. But, waiting around and doing nothing was quickly became boring. He gritted his teeth and looked at his watch. Dr.Flug has nine minutes and thirty seconds left. Black Hat yanked his arm down and snarled to himself for not giving the cowardly doctor five minutes instead of ten.

"Free sample, Sir?"

His brow raised and turned around, seeing a young woman behind a small table. She was dressed in a white apron, wearing a chest deli hat and holding out a plate of cheese.

"What?" Black Hat said, his sharp teeth showing with disdain.

She held out the plate, giving him a smile. "Free sample? This is our new type of cheese, it's monterey jack mixed with Munster cheese."

He stepped forward with his hands behind his back, staring at the plate with suspicion.

"Hmm, what's the catch?"

"No catch Sir, just cheese."

He gave her a glance and with a frown, he picked up a piece of cubed cheese by the toothpick and lifted it up to his face. He gave a sniff and put it in his mouth. He chewed it slowly before swallowing it. He shrugged, unimpressed.

"Good."

She lifted up another plate. "Would you like to try another type?"

He rolled his eyes and gave out a heavy sigh. "If I must." And he grabbed another piece.
It wasn't long until he was sitting on one of the spare sitting stools that the employee had behind her counter. Black Hat tossed his fifteenth toothpick into the garbage. He saw Dr, Flug having a bit of trouble with Dementia, who somehow got out of her leash and was now jumping on the shelves in between aisles. Black Hat blinked when he smacked his lips.

"Not bad, what was that one?"

"West Country cheddar." The employee replied. Black Hat cleaned his sharp teeth with the toothpick before tossing it away.

"I'll take it."

"Very good, Sir." The employee said. She reached behind the counter and pulled out a pound of the cheese, wrapped in a tight plastic. Black Hat grabbed it without giving her a glance. "Would you like the coupon that goes with it? It will save you one dollar."

"A coupon?" He turned and grabbed the piece of paper. "This thing will help me save money? What kind of idiot designed this? I would rather keep every penny."

"Which is why it's limited Sir, only one for each cheese."

"Hmm, well I suppose I should use it, no sense wasting it. Dr. Flug!" Black Hat yelled out, his voice reaching through the store. "Time's up!"

He scowled when he saw the doctor pushing the cart with 5.0.5 struggling to keep Dementia inside the cart and attached to the leash. The mountain of food rocked back and forth as they made their way towards Black Hat.
Black Hat took out a small notebook from underneath his top hat, along with a pen. He glanced back at the employee.

"What is your name?"

"Amanda, Sir."

Black Hat scribbled the name down and shoved the notebook into his hat. "Congratulations, "Amanda", you have now made the list of humans to show mercy to."

She tilted her head. "Excuse me?"

Black Hat ignored her when he strolled up to the cart. Dr.Flug was hanging down from the handlebars, breathing heavily as he lifted up a finger.

"W-we got everything, S-Sir Black Hat."

Dementia shoved a bag of jaw breakers in front of Black Hat's face. "And I got candy!"

Black Hat immediately shoved the bag back into Dementia's face. "Cut it out! Now! Let's go!" Black Hat began to walk towards the door, but Dr, Flug stopped him when he asked.

"What about paying for the groceries?"

Black Hat's neck snapped when he turned his head completely around like an owl. He gave the trip a devilish grin. "Who said anything about paying?"
