❛ they’ll only ever use you, it’s all you’re good for. i can give you so much more. ❜
MEME: Antagonize the antagonist
♉ - ❝ After everything you’ve done, you’ve got so much fucking nerve to be coming out with that bullshit. ❞ He wasn’t quite sure what he expected from Mendoza– another bullet to the chest to try and finish the job, perhaps? But he didn’t expect what he heard, and quite frankly it was insulting, as well as enough to ignite his already incredibly short fuse, darkened eyes narrowing as he damn near snarls at his enemy.
❝ Whilst you were locked up in a shitty little cell for three years, I made myself good for a lot of things. I made millions, I killed a lot of people, and I made many more answer to my every beck and call. And now you think you can just come along, all full of your usual ‘delivering justice’ bullshit, and take everything from me? ❞ Stoddard’s voice kept rising until he was shouting the last few words, anger not even covering half of what he felt for Nick right now. ❝ -They didn’t use me because I fucking used them, you could at least do me a favor and get your facts straight if you’re going to try and spout some kind of bullshit to try and win over my loyalty. You don’t deserve it, Nick, you never will! ❞
By this point he’s acting entirely on impulse, moments like this was why he was called the bull. And it’s a nickname Stoddard’s all too happy to live up to right now, drawing his gun before Nick can do the same and aiming right at him, at his chest. Because that’s where he shot Stoddard the last time they met, and he’s going to return the favor if he decides he’s getting bored of trying to make the fucker beg for his life first.
❝ -I was going to drag this out because you deserve to feel all the pain you put me through but y’know what? I don’t know what I want more now– I don’t know if I want you begging for mercy, or if I want you screaming, or if I just want you fucking dead. So go on, Nickie– you think you can give me “so much more”? Tell me what you can give, or I swear to god, I’m going to fucking kill you. ❞
