Random Fun: Liquidator x Bushroot Style!
Chapter 1: And Mutant Baby Makes 3
The sentient mass of water slipped into the greenhouse with barely a sound. After an exhausting week-long mission for Negaduck, Liquidator was ready to lay back and relax. He really hoped his lover's mood swings were finally over.
A quick sweep of the greenhouse revealed the violet-haired plant-duck half submerged and fast asleep in the kiddy pool they'd stolen the previous summer. A tender smile crossed over the water-dog's liquid face as he slid closer, pausing at the base of the florescent green plastic to watch Bushroot sleep. He looked so relaxed, so innocent... so molestable.
Liquidator smirked as he slipped into the water and surged toward the mutant duck who was still blissfully unaware of his presence. A sudden resistance in the water caught the villain's attention. Sweeping his hands up, he lifted the unknown object into the air and froze in shock. The ball of water in his hands began to darken and shift the moment it hit the air. Seconds later, Liquidator found himself holding a tiny, blue plant-duckling. Green eyes twinkled up at him as the baby giggled and squirmed in his hands.
The duckling's laugh yanked the botanist out of his nap. 'Surprise,' Bushroot smiled nervously at his lover's shocked expression.
'10 out of 10 doctors would agree that two men cannot make a baby,' the water-dog commented, still holding the little one at arm's length.
'We're not men, we're mutants. And you'd better believe she's yours, Buddy,' Bushroot stated with a glare, reaching out to take the baby from his watery arms and pull her close against his chest.
'Does she have a name?' Liquidator asked, hoping to sooth his lover's temper.
The plant-duck relaxed at the question and sighed, looking down at his little duckling with a loving smile. 'Lily. Our little water lily.'
'That sounds appropriate,' Liquidator announced, watching the duckling's plant feet merging with the water.
'Are you upset?' Bushroot asked, looking up at his lover shyly. The water-dog simply grinned, melting back into the pool water. The plant-duck blinked and cocked his head to the side as he waited for the other mutant to resurface.
Liquidator surged up behind his favorite plant and wrapped his watery arms around him. Bushroot sighed and allowed himself to be drawn back into his lover's embrace.
'How could I be upset? She's beautiful and so are you,' the water-dog nuzzled against his lover's neck and watched his daughter squirm in the plant-duck's arms, giggling up at her parents with wide, innocent eyes.
'I suppose now would be a good time to start thinking about a change of careers,' Bushroot commented offhand, receiving a curious look from Liquidator.
'We will talk about it later, my little bloom. For now, I'm just happy to be home with my family,' Liquidator replied, pulling the botanist even closer.
...the end...
Note: I am considering a second part to this fic, but it takes place many years later. More Liquidator and Bushroot randomness coming soon!
