Chapter 1

No Doctors

Megavolt made his way through the sewers, it was ridiculous how well he knew them, every time he had a magnificent new plan Darkwing Duck would show up and ruin it, internally he was happy that he could say he knew the sewers so well, it reflected on his ability to get away from the caped crime-fighter.

He reached a junction and turned left, warehouse district, it would lead him to the duckhole right in front of his lighthouse, home.

He saw a faint light up ahead, strange, he'd never come across a light down here before, the light dimmed and stopped, after a moment the light came on again.

The light was the same 75 Watt glow a typical household light bulb would give off, it dimmed again and he frowned, whatever was lighting the bulb wasn't stable and to even think about the shortage of stable power reminded him of the fact he'd only just been shorted out. It was painful on his body, and his memory (though not the best) was filled with that same horrible feeling, the draining of power... the struggle to go on... he instinctively quickened his pace to get to the next corner.

There was a small heap of blankets on the walkway along with a cardboard box full of appliances, he hopped up onto the cement and walked over.

The first thing he noticed was that all of the appliances in the box were all broken, and then that the bundle was actually a person, a small pair of hands were holding a broken and cello-taped light bulb.

The effort to repair the broken glass was enough to make Megavolt curious, to him the tape was like bandages and anyone who cared enough about a light bulb to bandage it up and then collect broken appliances... he knelt down and said 'hey.'

The person moved quickly jumping up and backing away.

'It's alright.' He said standing again, this person was considerably smaller than the bundle of blankets that were draping it; Megavolt smiled 'What are you, some kind of blanket creature?' He joked.

There was a moment and the person laughed.

Megavolt stopped smiling; it was a little girl, and by the laugh alone he could tell she was far too young to be here on her own.

'I'm Megavolt.' He said holding out his hand to her. 'What's your name?'

There was a moment of hesitation and the little girl came over and took his hand. 'Luma Watt.'

'What a pretty name... simply electrical.' He said stepping closer and pulling the large blanket off of her face to see her better, she was a mouse, with a delicate face and beautiful blue eyes, her fur was white and her ears were quite small, the first thing Megavolt could think of to describe her as was "cute". 'So Luma Watt, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home with your parents?'

She shook her head.

'Hey.' He could see she was about to cry, he pulled her into a hug. 'What's the matter?'

'I ran away.' She said quietly.

'Why would you do that?'

'Because... they don't understand.'

'Understand what?' He considered the light bulb in her hand and the box of broken appliances, he reckoned he already knew the answer.

'They wanted to take me back to the hospital.'

He took her hands. 'Now why would they want to do that?'

He blinked as he felt a crackle of electricity from her and she frowned taking her hands from his quickly.

She held onto the light bulb tightly in both hands and it lit up, Megavolt frowned, now he understood where the power was from, he watched as the light dimmed and then grew brighter.

'It hurts.' She whispered. 'Lo, why am I hurting?'

Lo? Was she going drama student on him? He shook his head, no, Lo was the name of the light bulb, her repaired friend, and he could understand where she was coming from.

He knelt down and took her hands in his. 'Close your eyes.' He said, she did and he closed his, channelling the residue of electricity in his body and battery into her, he could see the entire situation as his steady current calmed her own and then returned to him, he felt slightly recharged, it was strange.

'You're like me?' She asked quietly.

'Yes.' He said, he scooped her up and stood. 'I'm like you...'

She smiled, he felt himself smile in response, it was nice to have this strange warm feeling inside, he considered the box of appliances. 'Tell you what, Luma.' He said. 'How about you and your friends come and stay with me for a bit.'

'No hospital!' She said quickly and left his arms nimbly, she backed away quite panicked. 'I don't need a Doctor!'

'I know you don't.' He said softly. 'If I thought you did I would be in Hospital myself.'

She thought about it, cocking her head, her ears twitching, listening all around them for the slightest sound.

'I won't get you to go home either.' He said holding out his hand. 'What do you say?'

'Why?' She asked suspiciously.

'Why?'

'Why do you want me to stay with you?'

'Because... it's cold,' He said. 'And it's only going to get colder since its the beginning of winter, I don't want you to get sick. Then you really would need a Doctor.'

She gave a slight nod and came over. 'Promise?'

'No Doctors.' He said with a nod. 'Promise.'

'Lo?' She looked to the bulb, there was silence a moment, Megavolt could hear it, talking to her, it was a very quiet bulb, most of the ones he knew were a whole lot louder. 'Well if the others can come too...' She said looking up at him.

'Yes, they can come too.' He said with a nod. She smiled.

Megavolt put the box down on the floor as Luma looked around the lighthouse and at all of his assorted electrical things.

'Are these all of your friends?' She asked him.

'I have others.' He said, he took his battery off of his back and plugged it into the power point.

Luma cocked her head as she watched him straighten up, she turned and walked around looking at the assortment of inventions.

Megavolt watched her, he knew that his lighthouse wasn't childproof but he was more nervous about her getting curious about his inventions they were very sensitive.

But with one hand holding Lo she was being very careful... he watched the light bulb, the electricity wasn't stable in her so she was using the light to help calm the more powerful surges.

She looked at him. 'You must be very smart to be able to make all of these things.' She said innocently.

He smiled, he was liking her more and more, she was a very intelligent little girl, well of course she was, with all of that electricity running through her it would be impossible for her not to be smarter than average.

'Yeah, well.' He felt embarrassed now, he walked over to the couch and sat down, he was still feeling drained and horrible, he rubbed his temples, what he needed was-

Luma walked over cautiously and put Lo down on the table, she looked up at him.

He cocked his head. 'Yes?'

'You're drained?'

'I had a rough night.' He said.

She hopped up onto his lap and gave him a hug.

He blinked slightly confused and hugged back, he could feel her unstable current growing within her, and she sat back and took his hand closing her eyes.

He felt the build up and closed his eyes, could he really take her electricity from her? He concentrated and took in what she was giving him.

He opened his eyes and blinked a few times, she let his hand go quickly and sneezed covering her face, he frowned. 'Oh no, you're sick.'

'Am not!' She said quickly.

'You've caught a cold.' He said.

'No-'

'I don't know any Doctors, well unless you count Dr Slug, but he isn't really a Doctor of medicine.' He said. 'I wouldn't know what to do to get you an actual Doctor... and I haven't got a clue where the Hospital is.'

She frowned not overly believing him. 'What do you do when you get a cold?'

He smiled. 'I go to bed and get a good night's sleep.' He said, he scooped her up. 'You can have my bed.' He said casually, he took her into the bedroom and put her down on the bed.

She smiled. 'Comfy.' She said as she patted the covers.

'Yeah, I can imagine it'd be a nice change.' He said. 'Alright let's get you out of this cocoon of yours.' He helped her unwrap herself.

After what seemed like forever the final bit of blanket was off of her, and he could see that she was wearing a tattered dress of faded red, and a pair of red shoes, now free of the blankets he knew she was malnourished.

'Oh, so there you are.' He said sarcastically looking at the large pile of blankets and back to her.

She smiled at him/ 'You're funny.' She said giving him a hug.

'No, you're just strange.' He said defensively.

'And you aren't?'

He blinked, she had a point there. He undid her shoe laces and took her shoes off working out how to counter what she had said. 'Very clever, now you get a good night's sleep.' He said picking her up and putting her under the blankets. 'And if you need me, I'll be right in there.' He pointed to the door. 'Okay?'

She nodded. 'Thank you.'

He tucked her in. 'Good night little Luma.'

'Good night Megs.'

He felt himself smile at her and switched the light off and left the room.

He wondered what he should do to get her over her cold, who did he know that knew anything about looking after kids? Megavolt frowned, he needed to get her some medicine, the medicine he had wasn't for children.

'Can you guys watch her for a moment?' He asked looking around. 'I need to get her medicine.' He headed to the door, a quick dash down the street and a quick return, simple.

Megavolt frowned, okay so the medicine choice wasn't as easy as he had thought it would be. He picked up a bottle of each type. Better safe than sorry.

He looked at the clerk. 'Do you know anything about what to feed a little girl who has a cold?' He asked.

'Er...' The clerk, though used to Megavolt, wasn't used to him actually talking to him. 'I'd say just make sure she gets her vitamins and eats good.'

Megavolt nodded. 'Right, can I get a bag for these?'

'Sure!' The clerk said and dove behind the counter and pulled out a paper bag putting the bottles in it. 'Kids bounce back quite quick if they eat well.'

'I suppose they would.'

'The trick is getting them to eat the healthy stuff... kids hate vegetables.'

'Oh...' He frowned. 'It's not impossible though.'

'No, it's just difficult.'

'I should probably...' Megavolt turned and picked up a packet of cereal, he didn't touch the stuff, but he knew kids did. 'Breakfast.'

'So you've got a kid?' Megavolt gave him a look; the clerk looked down. 'Fair enough, none of my business.'

Megavolt took the bag putting the cereal in it. 'Thanks for the advice.'

'Anytime' The clerk said. 'Hope she gets better.'

Megavolt left the store.

A small while later and a few quick phone calls in a panic saw the clerk watching a massive bike pull up, he was even more nervous now.

'Okay, I know that this is Megavolts local one-stop shop, but-' Darkwing said entering the shop and coming over to the counter.

'Look, he was different tonight Darkwing.' The Clerk said, this Duck never messed around with the pleasantries, all the times he'd shown up here he understood just how risky it would be if anyone got word the clerk had been talking, so it was always straight to business.

'Well I shorted him out a few hours ago.' Darkwing said.

'No, that wasn't it!' The clerk said 'He was talking about a little girl.'

Darkwing raised an eyebrow 'Megavolt doesn't-'

'I don't know the details.' He said quickly 'but he wanted to know what you feed a little girl who's sick, and he took a whole lot of children's medicine too.'

'Medicine?' Darkwing asked in surprise.

'Yeah, cough syrup, bronchitis, the lot.'

'Alright, that is a bit strange-'

'Megs never really talks, random things here or there, but he really wanted to know how to get her better.'

'Ok, just calm down... I get the idea.'

'And he was very serious when I asked if he had a kid.'

'Well?' Darkwing said wanting more detail.

'Like he didn't think it was any of my business.'

Darkwing scratched his head 'so did he seem upset at the suggestion?'

'No, more dazed at the idea, like he was somewhere considering it.'

'Megavolt's long lost child?' Launchpad asked.

'Well, I don't know; that would imply he had a relationship, and I know he's single.'

'Oh?'

'Yeah, only ever gets enough to feed one, nothing fancy just the basics... the fanciest thing he's ever taken is that box of cereal just a little while ago.'

'Alright, if you see or hear anything else call it in.' Darkwing said.

Megavolt stepped inside and looked around, everything was the same as he'd left it.

He went and put the bag on the table.

He looked to the bedroom door and went to it, was she alright? He opened the door and looked at her, she was fast asleep.

He blinked; the light was on, he was certain he'd switched it off.

He went over and checked and smiled, she was powering it with electrical waves, the small flickers were concerning.

He thought about himself, when did he get like that? When he was sick he had trouble with it, he nodded, well he'd get her better and see from there, he left the room and retrieved his battery, he took it into the bedroom and put it by the bed and undid some of the straps, and tying them together, he then took her arm and tied the strap around it.

The light turned off, and he consulted the battery, yep, the power flow was even now, he nodded and looked at her, in the light from the other room he watched her sleep, she was much more comfortable now.

He turned and left the room again, well at least he knew something that would help.

He looked at the bag on the table and pulled out the contents; in the morning he would know which one she would need, the cold and flu one sounded the most promising.

He sighed, what was wrong with him? He'd never cared about anyone like this before, well at least not to his recollection.

He looked to the door again, why was he acting like this? Something about this kid just made him need to help her, she was like him, and she wasn't doing well... well she was doing alright, just like he was doing alright, he scratched his head, but she wasn't as stable as he was, he needed to work out why, the power surges were definitely not good... he sat down on the couch, why was he so compelled to help her?

He yawned and stretched, he'd work it out in the morning.

'Gee DW do you think Megavolt's kidnapped someone?'

Darkwing looked up at him from the computer screen 'No, randomly kidnapping a little girl who's sick and leaving her alone to get her medicine, doesn't fit with any previous scheme of Megavolt's.' He sighed 'well, one thing's for certain, he isn't holding her for ransom.'

'So he's just going to look after her?' Launchpad asked 'That's a bit strange.'

'Megavolt never really is predictable, he's insane, and him having enough rational thought to collect one of each type of medicines for a child and then ask for some tips-'

'And take the cereal.' Launchpad added.

'Yes, he's going to be feeding a child healthy things? He has to have a reason to help her get better.'

'Maybe he just wants to help her.'

Darkwing raised an eyebrow 'Well he has done weirder things in the past.'

'She must be a special kid then.' Launchpad said shrugging.

'Yes, and I can't find anything out until he makes a move!' Darkwing covered his face 'I hate this bit! I always have, and I always will! Criminals always take so blooming long working out their next move!'

'Why can't you just go up to Megavolt and ask him?'

'Launchpad are you nuts? There's a little girl at stake! One sign that I'm on him and she'll be as good as a hostage... right now she's being looked after, I'm inclined to let him be... just this once... lets leave him alone, and try and find out who she is and how they just met.'

Launchpad nodded 'Missing persons?'

'Yep, missing persons.' Darkwing said looking back to the computer.
