            “ might as well right ? you can’t coddle me forever , “ he teased quietly as he nudged past the other man with an amused smirk .

            ⁽  the  more  his  scalp  was  massaged the  quicker  he  would  drift  right  off  to  sleep. in  his  lap  he  felt  safe  and  secure  like  he  was  being  told  it  was okay  for  him  to  rest  now.  ⁾

            he smiled softly when will finally began to relax and close his eyes . mark leaned over and kissed the side of his head , continuing to massage at will’s scalp . he didn’t mind sitting still for an hour or two if it meant will getting some rest especially when he seemed so down . 

@IINVINCIBLES 
            
            ⁽  instinctively  his  eyes  shut  so  he  wouldn't  accidentally  get  poked  in  the  eye  or  something  like  that.  mark  removed  and  fixed  what  was  disorderly  about  his  appearance.  what  would  make  it  more  comfortable  for  sleep  to  find  him. the  only  response  given  was  a small  not  of  understanding  although  heavy  eyes  still  remained  open  until  his  fingers  ran  through  his  hair  and  they  would  start  to  droop.  but  it  was  almost  like  he  was  fighting  off  sleeping. ⁾

            “ fuck — sorry man . it wasn’t personal , i was just startled , “ an understatement really , the half viltrumite tended to get jumpy when people came up behind him .

' i mean , sure , but only on the telly¹ . ' 
            
            thumbs hooked in the pockets of his fatigues , he shamelessly eyed the man up and down — though the interest was in the costume , rather than any other ulterior motive . 
            
            ' you're not taking the piss² ? this isn't some hazing thing , is it ? i thought superheroes were only in america³ , and didn't like militaries . . . '

            “ you’ve never seen a superhero before ? seriously ? “ invincible rested his hands on his hips with a raised brow . no offense to the government or anything but he was getting kind of tired of having to explain to different squadrons that he wasn’t a fictional being .

@vltrumitpwr 
            
            " wouldn't it be better to do that kind of stuff with oliver since he doesn't know you as well ? " mark asked casually , of course he appreciated the effort that was going into repairing their bond , but he couldn't help but feel . . . weird about it . like something was off .

@taskdemo 
            
            “ very funny . . but seriously i don’t want to give birth in the car or anything . . “ mark huffed as he got out of bed with john’s help . he was quick to throw on some clothes and prepare himself mentally . he’d nearly toppled over just from the pain of the first contractions , exhaling sharply , it’d only get worse from here but he was glad they were nearing the end of the wait . there was also the natural fear he’d felt before this even started , mark wanted to be strong enough to deliver the baby even though he was already exhausted just from being restless .

@IINVINCIBLES 
            
            / spins him .
            
            blinking for a few minutes , brain still a bit blurry from sleep before it finally hit him .  blue eyes went wide , almost wide enough to fall right out from its sockets and paired with an almost quite yet somehow loud enough to hear ‘shite’ .  nearly falling out from bed as he sprung to his feet , making sure to offer the other a hand .  “ that time already ?  dinnae notice nine months could go by so quickly .  ” time really does fly by sometimes , too fast in john’s opinion .  “ here’s tae hopin’ i still have two hands by the end of this .  ”

@taskdemo 
            / scary ….
            
            “ i think . . . i think we should go to the hospital , “ mark muttered as he glanced up at john , he felt really weird , there was the ache of course but it was different this time . he hadn’t been able to sleep since four in the morning either .

@brickdup 
            
            “ yeah , but i was thinking about how easy it would be if you just . . . y’know , bought the candy yourself , “ invincible shot the guy a cheeky grin , only real assholes stole sweets from kids in his opinion .

@vltrumitpwr 
            
            “ really ? because i’m feeling fantastic as you can clearly see , “ mark huffed out through his teeth , his hand squeezing a cut on his thigh shut as his other began to thread a needle . better to do it himself , he was pretty sure flying to a hospital wasn’t the best option .

            listen ? the guy who wanted him dead wanted HIM to listen ? oh , the irony . mark would laugh if he wasn’t so distraught . 
            
            “ trust me , when you’re back in prison rotting in a cell , you’re going to wish you did kill me . “ 
            
            and yet despite his own injuries mark took powerplex’s wrist , beginning to hover , it was now or never , but even this was wearing him down . looks like he’d need to train more when it came to durability after taking more than a few heavy hits . 
            
            “ i don’t expect you to frolic in any field full of daisies with me , just tell me where you want to go next and i’ll drop you off , “ he’d be stupid to think that the other man couldn’t handle himself , the variants didn’t know his weakness . . . for now . it made mark’s stomach flip how all of these versions of himself reminded him of his dad , they were nothing but viltrumite conquerors . . 

﹙ although  he’d  be  lying  if  he  said  the  thought  didn’t  cross  his  mind  Scott  knew  doing  that  would  mean  two  things、lose  the  more  than  needed  extra  hand  when  it  came  to  rescuing  others  or  put  himself  in  a  spot  where  death  is  almost  certain  for  him  and  all  who’s  depending  on  them  as  the  last  hope  against  these  variants  ׅ  not  much  of  a  choice、is  it?  ﹚
            
            ゛LISTEN—-  ׅ⎖  ׅ⎖
            
            there’s   nothing   I   want   more   to   see   you   dead   but   right   now   this   isn’t   about   either   of   us   ׅ⎖
            
            everyone’s   at   stake   here、 we’ve   got   a   job   to   do   whether   I   like   it   or   not、and   I   swear   if   we   get   out   of   this   alive   I’m   NEVER   working   with   you   ever   again、 you   got   that  ׅ⎖   ゛
            
            ﹙ he’d   hiss  through  gritted  teeth  ׅ   annoyance  simmered  with  irritation  under  the  guise  he  was  mocking  him、no  matter  how  obvious  it  seemed  to  not  be  the  case  ׅ
            
            if  it  weren’t  for  the  sheer  amount  of  chaos  unfolding  everywhere  they  turned  he  definitely  wouldn’t  be  able  to  control  himself  ׅ   that  being  said  Powerplex’s  focus  shits  to  their  surroundings  that  looked  about  ready  to  collapse  at  any  minute  after  their  fight  did  a  number  to  the  building  they  were  in、no  telling  how  long  it’d  stand  ׅ   thankfully  they  managed  to  evacuate  the  last  remaining  ׅ  ﹚
            
            ゛shit—-  we’ve   gotta   get   moving   before   this   place   comes   down   ׅ⎖
            
            can   you   still   walk   or   fly  ?̲  ?̲   ゛

@powerplex 
            
            mark . . . or invincible in this case could only shoot an exhausted glance in his direction . he’d been focusing on evacuating and recovery for now , the half viltrumite was too injured at this rate to do much else , and staying out of it wasn’t an option . 
            this was all his fault , he should’ve made sure angstrom was dead for good . how was he supposed to know ? now people were going to die because of him . . . multiples of him from what it seemed like . 
            “ if you want to kill me now would be a good time , “ he chuckled wryly , a small jab if anything . invincible wouldn’t blame him if he actually went for it .
