There were other reasons for not killing Ark - and not just because he shared Megamind's face. Deep down, Megamind knows that Ark realizes that.
He lingered a moment longer before he went back to his task, gently swabbing Ark's face to remove the last traces of Miss Ritchi's attack.
Self defense. She would have likely died if she hadn't attacked him. Don't be upset with her.
Still - she'd hurt Ark - and in some small way, she'd hurt Megamind, too. His memory flashed to when Ark had first woken up and he'd been so...enthusiastic, fingers scrambling for Megamind, tracing delicate lines on his face, head tilted as he examined, in detail, the identical intricacies of Megamind's eyes, ears, nose...neck.
His lips, his cheekbones, his jawline.
Megamind's grip tightened on the cloth, and he pulled it from Ark's face. He looked away.
"Your hand's broken. Probably needs to be set."
His words were coming easier now, they were less slurred than before. The sedative was finally being flushed completely from his system, thanks to an increased metabolism and immune system.
