Don't own Loonatics unleashed. Enjoy!
CH 1
No One's POV:
At the Loonatics tower, the Loonatics were lounging around since there hasn't been any crime lately. The hero's were doing just normal everyday things, Ace and Tech meditating, Slam eating, Lexi listening to music while Rev played video games with Duck. Totally normal things everyday beings would be doing, just sitting back and relaxing a bit. Everyone was getting along till Rev won the game and Duck started screaming at him that he cheated, which lead to both birds screaming at each other. This of course meant Ace had to stop them. So he stopped meditating, got up leaving Tech to continue his own meditation and went over to them to stop the screaming.
"ENOUGH!"
That stopped them for sure. Now both birds are staring at Ace in shock mostly from the sudden noise. Duck snapped out of his shock and immediately went to his defense.
"Ace, Rev totally cheated."
Duck pointed an accusing finger at Rev while he stared at Ace.
"I-most-certainly-did-not."
Rev had hit the finger, which was in his face, away and crossed his arm. Both birds were prepared to defend each other's own honor.
"I DON'T CARE! Look Duck ya need chill out."
Lexi, who was distracted from her music, by all of the yelling, decided to speak her thoughts.
"Yeah, you seem a bit cranky lately. Even by your standards. Have you been getting enough sleep?"
"Why does that matter?"
"Because if you don't get enough sleep you won't grow anymore."
"I TOLD YOU I AM NOT SHORT! I AM VERTICALLY CHALLENGED WOMAN!"
By then Slam had come and was now laughing at Duck with the others. Despite them all roughly the same age, Duck was the shortest of them all. Ace swore if he didn't have his teleportation power, he would be calling someone whenever he couldn't reach something.
"Sorry to interrupt this, and don't get me wrong I'm loving this."
Duck glared at Tech, though it had no effect on the scientist.
"But as a scientist, I have to state the obvious facts Lexi."
"Sure Tech."
"Thank you, anyway Duck is fully grown. After a certain age, a being stops growing, so it wouldn't matter if he was getting enough sleep or not. He would stay the same height. Now if he isn't getting enough sleep that can do some serious damage to his health."
" -deprivation-can-lead-to-higher-risk-of-chronic-health-problems-like-high-blood-pressure,-heart-disease,-and-stroke. And-for-Duck's-growth-age,-I-myself-stopped-growing-when-I-was-18. But-the-weird-thing-is-that-Rip-stopped-growing-at-17. In-fact-funny-story-my-dad-once-told-me,"
Having enough of his talking already Tech used one of his devices to shut the roadrunner up. Tech sighed after Rev couldn't talk any longer, since he knew from experience how long Rev took to tell a story. It wasn't that Rev was slow, he's a roadrunner he is not slow, it is just that he likes to go into detail and tends to get sidetracked-ed.
"Thanks doc."
Ace received a thumbs up from the coyote.
"Now Duck what's with the fowl mood dis evenin'? Ya ain't stayin' up late and not sleepin' like ya supposed too?"
Duck just looked at Ace like he was an idiot, while Ace was grinning like one. The others just shook their heads at the male rabbit. While Duck closed his eyes, then took a deep breath in then out, then went back to looking at Ace.
"OK, first"
Duck held up one finger in Ace's face to make sure the rabbit understood.
"never and I mean never make that joke again because it is not funny. And second"
Now he held up two fingers.
"I am fine. I don't need you or anyone else monitoring me. What I do is none of your guys's business. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be going."
Ace was silent for a second as Duck pulled his hand away from Ace's face and tried walking past him to the kitchen. But before he got any further he felt a hand grip his shoulder and a cold aura behind him. The others prayed for Duck not to do anymore stupid actions, but knowing Duck they knew that was impossible.
"OK thanks for your answer to the first question Duck. But what about the otha one?"
Duck did not want to turn around, nope not at all. So why was he!? But once he finally looked at Ace he regretted it with every fiber of his being. Ace didn't look mad per say, he just looked like Duck will regret it if he even dare lie to him. But Duck beijing Duck was stubborn and wasn't backing down, although a part of him wished he had just told the truth.
"I don't know what your talking about? Now let go."
Duck was now trying to pry Ace's hand of his shoulder. But the kung fu fighter wasn't having any of it and tightened his grip.
"Duck"
"What!?"
Duck now wished he hadn't lied or shouted. He had stopped trying to get Ace's hand of his shoulder when he returned his attention to Ace. He didn't know it was possible for Ace to get even more scarier, Duck gulped and let out a small "mother" as he started sweating under Ace's gaze. He felt a cold shiver run up his spine as Ace looked down on him, it didn't help that Duck only came up to Ace's shoulders. The others watched silently from the sidelines as to not attract their leader focus onto them. They already knew there was no more hope in saving Duck now.
"Speak. The. Truth. Or. Tell. Me. What. You're. Goin. To. Do. Next."
Ace's tone basically dared you to go against him. It was worst than his leader voice when he gave commands. Duck had seen him use it once when Tech wouldn't stop eating pizza and got sick after. It was Ace's protective voice, this voice only came out when Ace went into protection mode for his friends, be it against an enemy or them.
"I'm fi,"
Ace narrowed his eyes.
"going-to-go-take-a-nap."
Suddenly Ace's whole demeanor changed into a happy aura, his grip loosened on Duck's shoulder and was now giving him a friendly smile. Duck took this moment to run out of the room and actually take a nap. He had a feeling Ace would go and check on him, and he didn't want to know what Ace would do if he found out Duck didn't listen to him. So when he got to is room he actually put on his pj's and went to bed. Since he was up all night it was nice to get some actual rest.
Back with the other Loonatics, everyone was just glad Ace had calmed down. Lexi and Rev went over to the couch to play video games with Slam behind them watching. While Ace and Tech had their own conversation both leaning their backs against the island and drinking some wine. Hey they were both adults, they could drink some red wine now and then, plus after what happened they could use some.
"Don't you think you were a bit forward."
"Nope, as your guys leada and friend it is my job to make sure all of ya are safe and healthy. And if I have to use force so be it."
"OK fine but Duck is 20 years old, he can take care of himself and deal with the consequences of his actions."
Ace just stared at Tech with an, "Oh really" look on his face.
"OK maybe not always deal with them, but you know what I mean."
Sigh"Fair enough, but"
Before Ace could finish his sentence the doorbell range. Earlier Tech had ordered a bunch of pizza for the gang, mostly for Slam, and they had been waiting for it.
"Ace can you get that?"
"Sure Lex."
"And remember it's been more than thirty minutes so it's half off."
"NO-pay-them-full-they-need-it!"
"Yeah yeah."
Everyone knew about how Rev was a delivery bird before the meteor, and how much he wasn't a fan of having his pay cut because he was late. Any way with that being said Ace put down his drink and went to the door to retrieve the food but when he finally reached the door and opened it, he didn't find the pizza delivery person. Instead standing in front of him was a lady in a lavender purple pencil suit with her red hair pulled into a messy bun with a light amount of makeup on. Once she saw Ace she reached her hand forward which he took and shook in greeting.
"Eh whats up doc, I'm Ace Bunny and not to be rude but who are ya and whatcha doin' here?"
"Hello Mr. Bunny I am Sarah Kings from the Acmetropolis Child Protection Agency or A.C.P.A and I am here to take "Danger" duck with me to their new foster home."
One thing went through Ace's mind.
'What?'
And there you go chapter 1. I hope you liked it, bye.
