Hey, what's up guys? I decided to make a sequel to My Name is Fear. Actually, there is going to be a third book as well but honestly beyond that I haven't the foggiest where this story is going. Like the other one, I intended for this to be just a one-shot in which Duck introduces his baby sister, Marina, to the team; but like the other one, it ran away from me and I had another drama filled story that started twisting in ways that even I was surprised. I doubt it's going to be as good, but either way there are some warnings we have to get out of the way so here we go…
MUST READ:
I didn't intend to carry on with the story when I first wrote it so if the first one kind of feels complete within it itself, I apologize for uprooting it and hope I'm not ruining the charm by adding to it.
If you have not read "My Name is Fear", STOP RIGHT HERE! Go to my profile, scroll down the list of my stories, and READ IT! Going any further will confuse you, irritate you and ruin the first story EMENSLY!
This story, I think, is a little more mild than the first, but I'm keeping the same category and rating just to stay consistent. I don't want a younger reader seeing this and then realizing they can't read the first…that's just mean
However, this still contains TechxRev (obviously) but so far there isn't a love scene between them like in the last one so if you don't like boyxboy smutt don't worry you're safe…for now…I will warn you before anything heavy comes up and like the last one if you choose to skip it will not effect the flow of the story I promise. That said, I ask that no one flames me…I'm warning you and there go it is your own choice to continue or not. Choices come with consequences people…that's all I'm saying…
Also, I don't think it was saidin the last story and I apologize if that's the case...but if it's not already painfully obvious...I don't own Loonatics Unleashed…though writing this story I kinda feel like I do he-he
Ch. 1: Indroductions
"So, you've got a sister?" Lexi asked as Duck tore off a bite of pizza. He nodded and swallowed.
"Her name's Marina and she's 18." He said before taking a swig of soda. Ace chewed his pizza thoughtfully.
"How come we nev'a heard a her before?" he asked.
Duck shrugged. "Didn't come up before." He said evasively. The truth was, he had just reconnected with her a few months ago and he hadn't wanted his friends to meet her until he had caught up with her properly. Not to mention he was still uncertain about his teammates.
All six of them had been kidnapped and tortured by all of their arch enimies who thought it would be benifitial to gain up on them. It had almost been the end of the crime fighting gang, but Duck had somehow managed to save them. It had come at a cost though. Duck had almost died and that wasn't anything compared to the psychiatric torture he had gone through. They had all been forced to 'live' their worst fear, but his had left him questioning the bond he had with his friends; with his family. He was a lot more trusting with them these days…but still…there was a lot he was being cautious about, including introducing his baby sister.
"Well, you could have told us about her when we met your old pig friend from the orphanage." Tech said, grabbing the last slice before Slam could take it. "Sorry, Slam, my slice." He grinned and gestured to the second box. "More in that one, though."
Slam frowned at the vegie pizza.
"We were more concerned with dealing with Pinkster." Duck reminded him.
"At-any-rate-we-get-to-meet-her." Rev said as he inhailled the sesame seed pizza he had all to himself. He was the only one on the team who ate as much as Slam. Well, maybe not quite as much, but just about. "When-did-you-say-she-was-coming-over?"
"She's visiting today." Duck said.
"(Today?)" Slam asked, his large mouth full of vegie pizza. Duck and the others barely looked disgusted. They were all used to the huge guy's lack of table manners.
"Yeah, in an hour or so." Duck said, looking over at the clock on the wall.
"Well, I think it's good you've reconnected with her." Lexi said supportively.
"Yeah, maybe she'll help ya loose some a d'ose annoy'n qualities a yours." Ace teased. "D'aflate ya head a bit."
Duck glared. Over the last six months or so he didn't let a sly comment like that go without a back lash of his own, but he was starting to slowly get less defensive these days. He took a deep breath and another bite of pizza, allowing his anger to subside before daring to speak again. They all finished then cleaned up. Within the next hour Duck was answering the door and Marina Sheldon Duck was standing in the middle of the living room shaking hands all around.
"So, you're already graduated?" Tech asked her as they sat around, getting to know each other. She nodded. Her black hair was in a pony tail and long bangs were swept over to one side, falling a little in her deep blue eyes. She had her arms crossed tightly over her purple tank, the sleeves of her red denim jacket straining just the slightest bit. She was sitting with one leg draped over the other, her converse shoe shaking nervously. Though her face was relaxed enough, her pose suggested she would be ready to run at any time. None of them, not even Duck, knew quite what to make of it.
"Would ya like somet'in to drink?" Ace asked, trying to show her that they weren't going to bite. She shook her head then seemed to gather her strength.
"No, thank you." She whispered. Duck was looking at herw with concern.
"What's with you?" he asked. She was not a shy girl. On the contrary, she had retained a boisterous, child like enthusiasm for meeting new people and taking life by the horns. Something was wrong.
"I'm fine." She said a little too quickly. Clearing her throat, she made a conscious effort to stop shaking her foot. She raised her hand and nervously tucked her bangs out of her eyes. "I finished high school last spring and now I'm looking into Acme Tech. I want to become a robotic engineer." She said, a little more confidence in her voice.
"Do you have an admissions paper typed up already?" Lexi asked. "Tech used to go there, maybe he could put in a good word for you." She glanced at Tech who was a little slow on the uptake.
"Well, it depends on her grades from high school, the quality of the paper-" he was cut off by a nudge from Rev.
"He'd-be-happy-to-if-you-would-like." Rev rambled while Tech glared at him, rubbing his stomach.
"Thank you." Marina smiled. "I'll let you know if I need anymore references. But I have a 3.9 GPA and my paper's already been turned in. I'm just waiting to hear back from them. If I am accepted, I'll be starting in two months." She was glowing with some pride now.
"That's great!" Duck said, squeezing his sister's shoulders. Just then her watch beebed.
"Oh, is it two o'clock already?" she looked genually surprised but also a little fearful. "I'm sorry, guys, I have to go. I'm, uh…meeting someone. It was really nice meeting all of you. Erin," she turned to her brother, "I'll call you later this week, okay?" she stood up and gave her brother a hasty hug before waving to the others and dashing out of the building. They all turned to Duck.
"Well," said Ace.
"she seemed," started Tech.
"(nice.)" grumbled Slam.
"Something's wrong." Said Duck. "That isn't how she usually is."
"Don't worry, Erin, I'm sure she's just got a boyfriend or something." Laughed Lexi, emphasizing his real name.
He looked startled. None of them knew that Danger wasn't his first name. Well, now they did, and he wasn't sure if he liked it. It would be harder to sound, well, dangerous, if they started calling him Erin Mathew Duck. And did she just say 'boyfriend'? He was about to reply, but just then the red sirens went off and their boss Zadavia came up on a hologram in the next room.
"Yo, Boss Lady." He was the first to hurry over to her, gladly breaking the conversation short with the others.
"There's trouble, Loonatics." She said grimly.
"Can't you ever pop up just to say 'hi'?" Lexi sighed as she and the others followed Duck over to the consul table.
"Sorry, Lexi. But this is urgent. Dare's been killed." She said gravely.
"Good." Muttered Duck. They ignored him but Ace secretly agreed with him.
"Witnesses said they saw Mastermind, Sypher and Massive leaving the scene."
…the funny part…I didn't even see this coming lol anyhow don't forget to R&R and keep reading!
