Jules was casually walking away from the building he had set on fire moments before. The explosions behind him threw him of his groove and through the air before he connected with a wall.
Not exactly the look he had been going for, but hé. Beggars can't be choosers.
Picking himself of the sidewalk and crawling back to his base was not the way he had wanted this operation to end, but he would take it. Anything to see 'Showers' face on the news tomorrow when they had to explain how the evil villain had managed to destroy government property.
It was a good day to be bad.
Well, it is was till a pair of boots appeared in front of his nose, and he was lifted in the air.
"What-" And here he was shaken around like a rag doll. "-do you think you are doing?"
Being evil, wasn't that clear.
"This is the last time I'll let you walk. Is that clear?"
Jules eagerly nodded, while trying not to look too happy about being overpowered by their resident hero.
"The next time you provoke me, you won't make it to jail."
With that Jules is dumped on the ground and Shower is on their way saving the day.
