"Yes." Ark's answer was immediate and firm; there was nothing short of the complete severance of all his extremeties that would persuade him to move under anything other than his own power. It was bad enough that he had come to the conclusion that Megamind must have carried him to the bed while he was unconscious.
He would not appear weak again. If he appeared strong, then he would become strong and his original wouldn't get any ideas about overpowering him. That was how it had to be; there could be no other dynamic between them now. Megamind would never die or come to serious harm under his care, but he couldn't afford to appear lenient.
Gritting his teeth, he pushed himself up using the hand on his good side and then swung his legs over the side of the bed. The world blurred and spun before him, but he closed his eyes and grabbed the bed covers in a tight fist until the dizziness and accompanying nausea had passed.
He would do this, damn it all.
Opening his eyes again, he took a deep breath and then pushed himself to his feet, doing his best not to stagger and not entirely succeeding.
"Fine, I'm fine," he muttered immediately, trying to fend off any offer of help. He wouldn't be patronized by anyone, not even Megamind. "Where..." A brief pause as he waited for the world to right itself again. "Where do we need to go?"
