February 2, 2014. Inspired by another Tumblr comment about how Mindbender does not approve of Cobrator (SerpentorxCobra Commander). I swear someone has borrowed kusari61602's bunny flinger.
The nurse placed an ice pack over Serpentor's eye. He waited for Serpentor to place his hand over it, holding it in place, before attending to several cuts on his face. Dr. Mindbender stood nearby, arms crossed and scowling.
"I do not understand why you insist on keeping Cobra Commander around and keep provoking him! You could have left him to read his book and gone about your own business. Yet here you are, picking fights with him, telling people you are his boyfriend, letting him be one of your advisors. It would be better if you got rid of the fool once and for all and concentrated on taking over the world!
"I don't see how my preferences concern you, Mindbender. This, I command!"
Mindbender nodded. "Your preferences do not concern me. I know very well that the great warriors of history swung both ways and I do not care. But Cobra Commander? I did not bring you to life so you could waste your time fooling around with some two-bit, double-crossing, bumbling oaf! Get your act together, conquer the world as you were meant to, and for the love of all that is holy, find someone else!"
"What I do is none of your business! I'm not about to get rid of a great source of amusement just because you say so! Every court needs a jester. This, I command!"
"I am not saying that you shouldn't have a jester or some source of amusement. Everyone needs a hobby, but anyone else. Storm Shadow, one of the Dreadnoks, corrupt someone outside Cobra even."
"I'm not the one with the ninja fetish around here, not to mention, you used him to create me. That would be weird. As for the Dreadnoks, I don't think so. Your third idea has merit, but I don't want to find someone else. This, I command!"
"Take some time to consider it, and get rid of Cobra Commander! His continued presence only divides your troop's loyalties and holds you back."
"Leave me. I don't wish to discuss this further. This, I command!"
