"Yeah," Mira said. "Thanks for shielding me with your body. How did he miss you that many times though?"
She tried to walk around me to look at me back, but I turned so she couldn't see the holes in the back of my clothes.
"What are you hiding? Are you hit, Dylan? We need to get you to a hospital!" Mira said.
I gave up. There was no way for me to hide that I was shot and didn't get hurt. If I went to the hospital there would be even more questions waiting for me there.
"I'm fine," I said.
"Then let me see your back," Mira said through gritted teeth.
"I'm fine!" I said again.
"Let." She grabbed my balls. "Me." She squeezed them lightly. "See." She squeezed them harder. "Your." She squeezed them even harder. "Back." Surprised I hadn't gone down yet, she squeezed them with all the mechanical might her cybernetic hand could muster.
