Little Moments

Chapter 7: Possessive

The gun blasts — which isn't fair, he wanted to be the one to test it — and hits the Hero square in the chest. And Wayne–

Wayne falls out of the sky, hitting the ground with a large crash, clutching his chest. Megamind stands frozen as the gun powers up again, because nothing hurts Wayne like that and–

And he's going to get shot again, which could really hurt him. The big bully is going to finally get what's coming to him, and the gun's ready to fire, and...

And Wayne's screaming in pain, his eyes bulged out in fear, trying to scramble backwards. He's hurt, helpless, afraid — everything Megamind has always wanted him to feel, everything Megamind has felt, and it should make the Supervillain beyond happy.

Instead, all he feels is rage. Rage that someone would dare hurt his nemesis, rage that yet another bully was getting to cause this sort of pain, rage because he's a possessive idiot and Wayne is his.

The dehydration gun is in his hand and he's surrounded by blue cubes, and he can't really remember how either of those things happened but whatever. He locks eyes with Metro Man, who actually flinches back at the cold rage in them.

(Which, okay, might bring him just a little bit of satisfaction)

Wayne is bleeding, golden and glowing and no more human than Megamind. Megamind dehydrates him before he can do something stupid like fly off and try to heal on his own (probably would get an infection, the oaf), stuffing the cube into his pocket.

He takes Wayne home, rehydrates him and uses the Knock-Out Spray because the hero is weak enough to respond to it, then gets to work patching up his wounds. Minion's confused, but asks few questions as Wayne recuperates.

(Minion likes Metro Man. He didn't like Metro Boy, but he likes Metro Man. Maybe Sir won't be as mad to learn that as he thought)

Wayne wakes up, eventually, when he's almost completely healed. Megamind braces for a fight, he's resigned to one, but is surprised when the other just... Stares at him. For a few minutes. And then flies away.
