It was impossible to dodge a bullet… for a mundane human, at least.
And yet, that was exactly what Mordret did.
He had been looking at the harrowing sight of the drowning city with the rest of them a split second ago. But when Sunny's revolver thundered, aimed at his head point-blank, he leaned sideways with superhuman speed, allowing the bullet to fly past.
'Damn it.'
Mordret took a step back, coming to stand near his other fragment.
The first to react was Saint, even if she only turned to look in his direction. Morgan and Effie spun around, wary and trying to understand what had happened. The Other Mordret was the last to realize what had happened, reeling back in shock.
Mordret reached a hand and grabbed his arm, preventing him from losing his balance.
"Goodness gracious, Sunless. What was that for?"
His smile was as pleasant as ever, but it did not reach his eerie, mirror-like eyes.
Sunny gritted his teeth.
"That was to slow you down."
