The fire should have killed him. But it didn't and the recovery was long and terrible. Mick soldiered through it, through the therapy and through the painful healing. He survived and Mick wasn't going to give that up. He was going to fight.
It took even longer for him and Leonard to get back to something resembling normal but he wasn't going to give up on that either.
At first he didn't change what he wore, but after the first expressions of horror or shock by someone on a crew or just at a bar at the scars that twisted down his arms and across his torso, Mick started covering them up. He started hiding them. The scars reminded him of just how far he and Snart had spun away from one another.
How badly he'd messed up.
So he wears long sleeves. Gloves. Keeps them hidden.
A hum at Leonard's question. He's only barely been watching himself and flicks it off, leaving the remote on the table. "Nothing interesting. Thought you were reading?"
