My Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated AU
By: Sayaalv
(A/N I own nothing and this is what happens when I drink a whole gallon of tea, watch SDMI, then drink a gallon of fruit punch. How will the SDMI universe change when Angel tells the kids who she really is during Revenge of the Man-Crab?)
"Is something the matter Angel? Do you know them?" Velma asks when the sassy black woman took the old paper clip from her hands and looked at it for a minute.
"Yeah. I do. These were my four friends when I was your age. See this torn spot right here? That's where my picture was." Angel says pointing to the spot that was missing a picture.
"Really? But you're not missing." Shaggy says more than a little confused.
"Nah baby, we didn't go missing. Me and my friends were mystery solvers like you guys but one day a masked villain called 'The Freak' made us skedaddle right out of town by threatening our families. I came back under my old nickname 'Angel Dynamite'. Whoever this 'Mr. E' is knows who I am and cut my picture out on purpose." Angel said narrowing her eyes at the picture as her mind went through thousands of possibilities in less time than it took for Shaggy and Scooby to go through an 'all you can eat' buffet.
"You used to be a mystery solver? How about a little help with our case then? We can use all the help we can get right now." Velma said looking at where Fred was scratching the floor frantically, and not knowing she had just pulled Angel from her thoughts.
"Sure thang babies. First let's get Freddie here in his right mind then we can go wrap this case up and rescue Daphne." Angel said feeling her instinctive motherly feelings grow towards the four teens and even their dog.
"Freddie? Freddie baby look at me." Angel said getting on her knees beside Fred who hardly glanced her way. Angel tried for a moment longer before sighing as she got to her feet.
"Baby doll, help me get him to his feet. Shaggy baby, hold his hands back so that he doesn't accidently hurt one of us." Angel ordered the two teens that immediately followed her directions.
"I'm sorry bout this baby but there ain't no other way ta get you in your right mind." Angel apologized to the blond teen as Shaggy held him up and his hands behind his back.
SMACK! Everyone stopped moving when Angel had slapped Fred across the cheek hard enough to leave a faint hand print.
"I'm sorry baby but if you were anything like Brad from my old gang then that was the only way. We need you in your right mind so that you can help us save Daphne. Understand baby?" Angel asks gently, remorse for what she had just done clearly heard in her voice.
"Yeah. Thanks Angel. I needed that." Fred said calming down big time after he had been slapped.
"You're welcome baby. Now let's see what this Mr. E has to say shall we?" Angel asks holding up a tape that Shaggy had picked up off of the floor.
"I call bull crap…or crab crap in this case. Any questions you have about me and my friends 'disappearance' you can ask me later. Right now let's go back to the beach and search for some more clues. Like I used ta say. Ya don't got three clues or solid pieces of evidence then don't start accusing people." Angel said rolling her eyes after hearing the tape just before the tape ejected and destroyed itself.
"Let's go investigate the beach where Daphne was taken. You might be able to find some clues we missed." Velma suggested causing Angel to nod and grab a blue and black helmet from a nearby shelf.
"Not a problem babies. Lead the way. I'll follow ya on my bike." Angel said quickly stepping into a blue and black full body leather outfit and zipping it up before putting on her helmet and grabbing some keys from the side table.
"Wow." Shaggy breathed as he looked the DJ over. Let's just say that a slim but muscular build, long slender legs, and a black and blue leather biking/spy suit that clung to the body would make any sane hot blooded male, and several females, stare at the Radio DJ.
"Thanks baby but you might want to close your mouth before some flies land in it." Angel said her voice sounding humored even through her helmet. Velma smacked Fred and Shaggy upside their heads before dragging them to the Mystery Machine with a laughing Angel not two steps behind.
"Hold up. This is the part of the beach that's over the Crystal Cove mines. We check out them mines and we will most likely find our Daphne, as well as the others who were grabbed by this 'Man-Crab'." Angel said after walking around the beach where Daphne was taken for a moment. This caused the four members of the Second Mystery Incorporated to grin and immediately lead the way towards the nearest entrance to the mines.
"Freddie baby, try to keep it together if you hear Daphnes voice. I do not want to have to slap you again." Angel said the moment they walked into the mines entrances, causing the others to look at her funny until Daphnes voice rang out calling for her friends.
"You're good." Velma deadpanned to her friend who merely smirked as they made their way towards where Daphne and the others who had been Crabnapped were being held in a metal cage.
"Thanks Baby doll. Ready ta get outta this cage baby girl?" Angel asks grinning at Daphne while all of the people in the cage were looking at her in shock, probably because she was still in her leather spy/biker outfit and her hair was flowing down her shoulders instead of in its regular afro. Daphne could only nod mutely, still in shock of how hot the radio DJ looked at that moment.
"Brace yaselves babies this is going ta be a bumpy ride." Angel said with a devious smirk that made those in the cage pale and immediately brace themselves for the worst. Angel reared her foot back and kicked the cage with all her might, sending it and those in it flying into the nearest cavern wall causing it to smash open, miraculously not harming anyone in it as it crashed into the wall.
"Holy-"Velma began staring at the cage and her friend in shock before she was cut off by the man-crab appearing out of seemingly nowhere.
"Crab!" Angel finished for the auburn haired girl as she bodily tossed the man-crab over her shoulder and into a cavern wall, giving everyone a chance to run for it.
"Move it or lose it peeps!" Angel yelled at those who were frozen in shock until a girl with an obviously broken arm yelled back to her.
"We can't exactly run! Dylan's leg is broken!" The girl yelled causing Angel to swear vividly before turning around to help the teenaged boy, by doing nothing less than throwing him over her shoulder and running with the girl not a second behind her trying her best not to snicker at the look on her boyfriend's face. After leaving the cavern Angel handed Dylan over to Fred, who ran to get him somewhere safe with the others following a second behind.
"Over here ya over grown seafood platter!" Angel yelled at the Man-Crab before turning and leading it towards where Fred's trap was set up.
"Nice trap baby. You're as good as Judy and Brad were." Angel comment with a smirk to Fred as his trap caught the Man-Crab.
"They were the trappers of your mystery gang?" Fred asked as Velma filled Daphne in on what they found out about the sassy woman.
"Yep, they were unstoppable when they put their minds to it but enough about the past. Let's see who the urchin here is." Angel said smirking when Velma hid a snicker behind a delicate hand at the not very hidden insult to the man in the Man-Crab suit. A few minutes later the gang was following Angel's motorcycle back to K-Ghoul to talk with Angel about her past.
"How bout you guys ask a question and I'll answer you truthfully?" Angel offered as she passed out drinks to the gang, all of whom nodded and thanked her.
"You said 'Angel Dynamite' was your nickname. So what's your real name?" Velma asked after taking a sip of her drink as she looked at the sassy woman.
"Cassidy Williams. I was pretty much the 'Velma' of my group, Mystery Incorporated." Angel said with a slight grin at the glasses wearing girl who looked mildly surprised at this.
"I even had glasses to match but they kept falling off so I finally got a pair of contact lenses about two months after my gang left Crystal Cove." Angel said chuckling slightly at the look on everyones faces, it was a little hard to picture the sassy DJ wearing glasses.
"Left? The newspaper said you went missing?" Daphne said after having looked at the newspaper caption, not bothering with the picture yet.
"That's what it looked like. One day Brad, the 'Fred' of my gang, said he saw someone coming and going at that old Spanish church and wanted to investigate. We found a piece of something known as the Planaspheric disk; it's what the Spanish conquistadors used to tell where they were when they settled in Crystal Cove. Removing the disk from the chest released a trap that flooded one of the old mines we were in, nearly killing me and my gang in the process. A few days later we were investing the cave for any more disk pieces when we were confronted with someone that called itself the 'Freak'. The Freak of Crystal Cove he made false reports that accused our parents of various crimes and used them to make us hand over our disk piece and leave Crystal Cove seemingly forever. From what I heard before we lost contact with one another, Brad and Judy, the 'Daphne' of the group, got married and were expecting a child not two years after we left before they tried to reenter Crystal Cove. I don't know what happened to them after that, last I know for sure was that Judy was screaming in my ear about how she was so excited to be having a beautiful baby boy on the way so that they could teach him all they knew about traps when they got back to Crystal Cove. I lost contact with Ricky, the 'Shaggy' of my group, shortly after I got the call from Judy to learn about my godson but I have been hearing rather suspicious rumors about what he may have been getting up too these last few years and I don't like it one bit. Pericles, the smarter and eviler 'Scooby' of my gang, had betrayed us to the Freak for the disk piece and was locked in an animal asylum last I heard. I left Crystal Cove and changed my name to the old nickname Brad and Judy gave me, 'Angel Dynamite', before coming back to Crystal Cove five years ago." Angel said after sighing and setting her cup of tea to the side so that she could lock eyes with the younger mystery solvers.
"Jinkies Angel-er Cassidy. I didn't know that someone would really go that far to stop someone solving a mystery." Velma said startled by her friends story of how she had vanished.
"You can still call me Angel. I don't know who it was underneath the Freak mask but I don't want to know what they'll try to do to get rid of me if they learn that I'm back. Daphne? Where'd you find this?" Angel said smiling at Velma before seeing the locket around Daphnes neck and gently grabbing it from her, holding it in her hands and looking it over as if not truly believing what she was seeing.
"I found it in the mines underneath the bank when we were investigating the 'Slime Mutant' fiasco. Why? Do you recognize it?" Daphne asked blinking slightly at the way the sassy woman in a biker/spy outfit was looking at the key shaped locket.
"Yeah. The locket was specially made for the girls of my group when we stopped a man dressed up as an evil monkey from robbing a blacksmith who was loaded with gold. The guys received golden clip on pendants while the girls received lockets on a golden string as a thank you from the blacksmith. This was Judy's locket; she lost it when the mines were flooded since Pericles still had it in his claws. The water must've carried it to the mine where you found it." Angel said as she ran a hand over her old friends locket.
"Oh. You should keep it Angel. It belonged to your friend after all." Daphne said since she hadn't realized it was made from pure gold or that important to her friend.
"Nah. It was Judy's spare, she still has the original locket she was given, and I'm sure she wouldn't mind me giving it to the next generation mystery solver. In fact…I believe I have a spare set of all of my groups pendants in a box in my closet, I doubt any of them would mind me giving the spares to you all. I even have a spare that can be attached to Scooby's collar. Be right back." Angel said after handing Daphne the necklace back as she stood up and walked into another room. The gang exchanged glances before looking up when Angel walked back in carrying a small black box.
"They always had me hold onto the spares since I was least likely to lose them." Angel explained as she opened the box and pulled a golden locket on a chain out, it was almost exactly identical to the one in Daphnes hand.
"This is my original necklace; I haven't worn it in so long it feels a little weird now. We all had small things added to our own pendants so we didn't get them confused so I think it only seems right that I give you guys the ones that match with you best. That means that Scooby gets the one that can attach to his collar and has a small claw etched onto the back. Fred gets the pendant that has a bear trap etched into it. Shaggy gets the one with a sandwich etched in it. Daphne has Judy's which has a small heart etched onto the back. Velma, you get my spare that has a pair of glasses etched into it. All of them can open up and have picture placed inside like Judy did. They also come with a mini walkie talkie built and tracker built in just in case someone gets lost or kidnapped." Angel said with a small smile on her face as she passed out the pendants in order, clipping Scooby's onto his collar for him.
"Thanks Angel. This means a lot to us." Velma said fingering the necklace that Angel had given her reverently.
"Not a problem babies. With these pendants I hereby declare the five of you as Mystery Incorporated the second!" Angel said grinning at the younger kids who looked surprised at having their group named after Angels.
"Not the five of us. After all Angel." Daphne began with a smirk while the boys noticed where she was going with this and nodded their agreement as Velma finished the red heads sentence.
"You're one of us now. You're part of Mystery Inc. the second." Velma said grinning at the older woman who merely looked at them shocked into silence for a moment.
"Thank you so much babies. This means a lot to me, to be able to help you all on your mystery solving and all." Angel said hugging each of them happily, glad that they had accepted her and would let her work with them on their mysteries.
