Wanted to do another comic for my au which I'm yet to write, y'know the one I posted a year ago with Woodrow and a caged Worm, then another part with him and WX.

My piece for @wxwoodweek Day 3: Remember/Forget

Wormwood brewed some Forget-Me-Lots tea for WX-78, but it seems to have a strange effect on them.

My piece for Day 2 of @wxwoodweek! The prompt was Hurting/Healing.

Ficlet under the cut!

Wormwood winced as WX-78 removed the stinger from his skin.

“Yeowch!” 

WX-78 shook their head impatiently. “SO, WHAT DID WE LEARN TODAY?” they asked, in the most patronizing tone they could muster.

“Red buzzers…not the same as yellow ones,” Wormwood moaned, his swollen lips slurring his speech. “Red buzzers are bad…mean…bad buzzers.” He wriggled in his seat as WX-78 plucked another stinger from his sore leafy hide.

“HONESTLY, SHOULDN’T YOU KNOW BETTER?” they reprimanded him. “YOU MIGHT BE FROM HERE, BUT IT SEEMS YOU STILL HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT THIS PLACE. NOT EVERYTHING WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND.” WX-78 was pitiless as they pulled the final barb from his flesh; Wormwood bit his tongue to keep from yelping as the hooks made one last exit wound.

“Sorry…Thanks for helping…Won’t happen again,” he reassured. He stood to leave.

“WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING?” WX-78 shot suddenly, their eyes like daggers.

Wormwood shrunk away. “Umm. To get poop. For healing ouchie spots,” he mumbled thickly.

“OH NO YOU DON’T,” they returned, gripping his shoulder and forcing him back down into his seat. “YOU’RE NOT SLATHERING ORGANIC WASTE ON YOURSELF, NOT AS LONG AS I’M AROUND TO HAVE TO SMELL IT.” They pulled a spider gland from their medical kit. Wormwood observed with intrigue, then repulsion as they mashed the spider innards into a fine paste with a mortar and pestle. Before Wormwood could protest, WX-78 smeared the suspicious substance directly onto his bee sting.

Wormwood flinched as the salve immediately stung and inflamed his tender wound. “Ouch!” he cried. He felt his eyes water, his skin crawling, tingling and throbbing. He nearly tumbled backward as WX-78 moved to apply more of the sinister balm.

“DON’T BE SUCH A BABY,” they groaned, flashing an eye roll. “GIVE IT A MOMENT, AND IT WON’T HURT ANYMORE.”

Within a few seconds, he found WX-78’s words to be true– for all at once, the burning sensation fizzled out, and he was left with a soothing numbness in its place.

“SEE? JUST BECAUSE IT’S A LITTLE ABRASIVE, DOESN’T MEAN IT’S NOT GOING TO HELP.” Wormwood held his breath as WX-78 dabbed the salve onto the remainder of his wounds.

He smiled despite the pain. He thought those words especially fitting, coming from the surly automaton.

Day 2: Hurting/Healing

Whenever I see Verdant WX I keep thinking they are in constant pain. Might have been the first thing I thought of when I saw today's prompts :')
