🔫 - (( *shoves this @ Pav and Hobie because fuck it we ball* ))

Send me a 🔫 for a starter where my muse has been shot. (X) @canon-fcdder

Maybe Hobie should be concerned with how quickly he threw himself between Pav and the BotW, and subsequently the fired bullet from the guy's gun, but concern would mean he regretted it in some way, that he had the thought of not doing it in some way, and that wasn't even close to being the truth. Hobie would die for his friends, hell even some strangers have been shielded full body by the punk, and that wasn't likely to change. Even before the healing factor that came with his powers, he would throw himself into danger without hesitation, now he just had even more of a reason to do it. He could take it, and while Pav also had a healing factor, Hobie would rather save him the pain of having to use it.

Long story short; it wasn't the first bullet Hobie and taken, and it wouldn't be the last, that was for damn sure. Luckily this time he didn't have to fight through the pain to finish the bad guy off, the benefit of a team meaning that while Hobie hit the pavement shook off the pain, Pav, Gwen or Miles could take the guy down without an issue while he focused on the spiderman he had just shot instead of the one swinging towards his face shoe first.

Another benefit to a team was that they were too busy with the bad guy to really notice Hobie had been shot in the first place, the punk able to shrug it off and cover the blood up with the buttoning of his vest while the others delivered the wannabe villain to the police station.

Most of the others, anyways. It was kind of hard to hide an injury from the one he had taken it for in the first place. In a way, Hobie felt what he was doing, protecting Pav like this, was wrong. He wouldn't be able to shield him forever, no matter what universe they were in, life always got messy. But was it so wrong to want Pav to stay that bright, optimistic ray of sunshine for just a little longer? To let him hold on to the super part of being a superhero for as long as he could? Besides, Pav wasn't stupid, he didn't get his powers because he had it easy, that was unforrutnely a constant with not just the spiders, but all of those deemed superheroes. He knew the world wasn't perfect, that eventually bad things would find him, but he still stayed optimistic despite it all. Hobie wasn't about to be the one to burst that bubble with realism, that would just be cruel. Sure, he was a bit nihilistic, the world sucked and there was no real way to fix it no matter how much he near killed himself trying to make things even a little bit better day after day, but the world was also filled with beauty like Pav if one knew where to look, and that beauty would persist if one took the time to preserve it as much as they could.

So, with all that in mind, Hobie took the most obvious course of action and tried to avoid Pav completely, and thus save him from having to see the full scope of what the bullet that was meant for him had done, his watch already queueing up a portal to take him from Pav's world to his own. "Right, 'nother barmy behind bars, 'nother piper pied. You guys got this now, yeah?" But he didn't wait for an answer, the punk throwing a wave over his shoulder as he staggered walked towards the portal. "Aces. Mozzle and brocha, 'n all that shit."
