[ Peter stepped into Mantis’ memory a little while ago, and had fired almost a half-dozen shots through the apparition of Ego’s stupid face. It hadn’t been nearly as satisfying as he had hoped it would be, and even less effective.
That doesn’t stop him from resting his hand on the grip of his gun, holstered at his hip. And it doesn’t stop his fingers from twitching a little, either, as Ego goes on and on and on about the children he sired and discarded, like he was some asshole looking for pearl and killing every oyster on the way.
Peter’s jaw clenches so tightly he’s pretty sure his teeth might shatter, or that he’s at least going to need some serious dental work later, but for now, he drags his gaze away from Ego’s infuriatingly smug face to look at the kid – Percy, apparently – beside him. ]
If you tell me it involves killing this guy— [ No need to specify which guy, obviously. ] —you can be my new best friend.
