"With love you stupid -"

Megan bent over Veidt's body and shook it, hard.
"I wasn't thinking-"
Something small and hot touched her face, causing her to cry out again. She looked down.
Veidt's hand was destroyed, the robotic implant gone and taking the majority of his remaining fingers with it. The broken remnants of the implant were making small, desperate mechanical noises and throwing off sparks.
Megan's eyes slowly travelled up to Veidt's face.

Adrian's eyes opened.
He backhanded Megan with his malfunctioning stump hard enough to send her falling backward from him and leapt up again.

Megan screamed again and clutched the new, stinging gash on her cheek.

Dan rushed over to her and kneeled down "Adrian if you hurt her I swear-"

"You-eur 'and -" he said, jumping up, before, ignorant of the pressing matters at work here, throwing his arms around him.

Adrian picked up his charred cape and wrapped it around his destroyed hand.
"Dan?"
He plucked one of the other bullets from where it had embedded itself in the chest of his suit and looked at it in interest before giving Dan a particularly withering look.
"Grow up. My new world requires a higher caliber of heroism than your little schoolboy games."
He smiled gently and rubbed between Adrien's shoulderblades, then made a face and suddenly reached up to his mouth.
He spit a tooth into his hand and glared at Megan.

"Mon bel amour," he whimpered in relief.

"Take this," he muttered at Adrien, slipping the displaced tooth into his pocket.

Dan stayed kneeled beside her and glared up at Adrian.

Megan pulled her hand away from her face and saw that it was covered in blood. She gave out a faint little moan.

Dan reached down and opened up Megan's utility belt, which he never really got to show her how to use and pulled out a cloth and pressed it to her face. Before standing he whispered "Please don't move, next time, he might really hurt you, and I can't let that happen all right?"
Dan stood, ready to run at Adrian again, now angrier than ever.

Adrian just glanced back at Dan, unconcerned.

Adrien pocketed the tooth and looked up at Adrian uncertainly. There was now no question whatsoever as to whose side he was on, or whether or not he loved Adrian, but that didn't make any of it any easier, however much he would have liked things to be uncomplicated.

Dan took a step forward "How do you know what you've done, wont simply cause more problems?"
