“Oh evil gods,” Megamind flinched back, hissing when his back hit the wall, “Fine, fine.”
Whole body tense, he folded up a wad of cape, “Get it over with quick,” he spat before shoving it in his mouth and biting down hard. Breathing through his nose as he scrunched his eyes shut and braced for the pain.
Scarborough arched an eyebrow. “You’d think someone with as colourful an appearance as you wouldn’t be so easily surprised by pyromancy,” she mused, but she did as he’d asked and pressed the red-hot needle into the bullet wound.
Megamind gritted his teeth, it was less surprise at pyromancy and more that with two fire wielding rivals, he’d had many a poor experience with fire. Grunting and squeezing his eyes shut, he tried not to jerk too much under the burning needle. The pain a white thing in his mind. Eyes watering when it was removed, he shuddered and focused on breathing. The scar would be ugly, but he had lots of scars…
Spitting out the cape, he managed a grumbled, “Thanks,” through the pain.
