Chapter 2: Hay uncle
"What does this one do?" the little red haired girl was aiming at a sweet doll.
"No!" QuakerJack said jumping forwards just in time to push the young duck away before the doll changed into a demonic thing and threw several knives, which forced QuakerJack in a difficult position so the knives wouldn't scalp him. When they had flown passed him into the wall he lost his balance and fell on the ground.
"What the heck?" the girl said looking kind of shocked because of the high danger rate the cute doll had.
"Don't touch any toy except those which I told you, you can touch." he groaned getting up to study the position of the knives in the wall.
"It threw knives at me!" the girl said still a bit of surprised that her dad found that completely normal and was mad at her while the doll almost killed her.
"Yeah, I know it's supposed to do that but I need to reconsider a few things of it. It should have done it from the moment you touched it!" he said not really caring about her shocked expression as he was picking the doll up.
Juwe stared at him with widen open eyes, quite confused about what kind of toys her dad made when they weren't meant for her. Those others he used when he was a villain, they freaked her out.
The phone rang and QJ put away the doll "What? again, did you give this number to everybody? Gee, it's the third in one day!"
He picked up the teddy phone annoyed and yelled "I raised my life insurance last week, I don't want any therapy for villains and I never pay my taxes so get lost!"
"They actually invited you to that junk?" MegaVolt asked making fun of his feathered friend "That is so humiliating! You didn't actually go did you?" he continued.
"Megs?" QuakerJack said in surprise and blushed a bit when he saw his daughter glaring at him. "I thought it would be fun!"
MegaVolt was totally making fun of him and giggled as he asked "What did they do?"
"Nothing, it wasn't fun at all so I eeuh" he pointed with his hand that he would be back soon and went to his working room trying to avoid that his daughter would get mix with his business, beside he had promised her mother he would keep her out of it. "So I learned them to have fun!" he giggled evilly once he was comfortable again.
"Let me guess; boom?" MegaVolt asked rather bored
"Boom!" QuakerJack giggle even harder.
"I thought so!"
"Why did you actually call? You never call for a nice chat." QuakerJack said jumping on a chair.
"Yeah, why would I bother? You always call!" he said losing his 'I don't care, boom is so boring after the 7 million times!' tone.
"Got a point there I guess, so why?" QuakerJack asked getting curious
"Nega Duck is back and Reggie called me to say that we have a meeting?" MegaVolt answered losing his happy tune.
"When?" QJ asked wondering if this was good or bad news.
"In …let's see … 20 minutes!" MegaVolt said calm and careless.
"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" QJ said as he jumped out of his chair panicking.
"I forgot!"
"So I guess it's play time. What will it be this time: kill Dorkwing or get St.Canard to be ours?" he asked in a rather not-interested way.
"Probably both." MegaVolt said in the same way as QJ.
"At the hide out?"
"Yup, gotta hang. See you then!"
"Yeah!" he put down the teddy phone and left his room wondering if Negs would be in a good or bad mood, not that it really mattered, he would be terrorizing them anyway. Coming out of his workroom he bumped against the little girl who was staring at him and said with a troubled face. "Hey, that bear there!" she pointed "You should look at it, it tried to fry me"
"What?" he piped knowing what was coming next "How did you get out in one piece?" he added rather worried, knowing that the teddy bear would probably be in a worse condition as she was.
"I jumped behind the huge crying doll. So she kinda melted, sorry!"
"I told you not to touch anything!" he muttered and went toward the door.
"Where are you going?" she asked worried.
"My job!" Job didn't sound fun at all but yeah.
"So I'll be like alone here?" she asked sounding kind of worried.
"You can play with the toys."
"Yeah, well I'm more worried they will rather play with me!" she responded looking rather disturbed toward the toys "Can I come?" she said smiling sweetly
"What? No way kid, you're staying here!" what would his friends think of it? And even worse, what would Nega Duck do?
"Please, I really don't wanna stay alone!"
"No, and that is final!" the jester decided.
----
"Whatever happens, stay hidden in my part of the room there will be a bunch of teddies and that kind off stuff. Hide yourself there and when Negs is gone you can come out!" how could he have let her talk him over, he wasn't getting soft, was he?
"Who's this Nega Duck guy anyway?"
QJ shudder "My boss!" he said.
"Why would it be a problem if he saw me?"
"'Cause it is probably healthier for the whole of humanity that he doesn't!"
They entered the head quarters of the Fearsome Five. They were the first. QJ had taken the time top to get there not a second after Megs told him, so he could be early and hide her! She crawled between the huge teddies and kept quiet but searched a place where she could see what was happening. Her dad was working on a toy when the door opened not so long after they had entered.
A dog made entirely out of water entered, he was looking rather strong and had a cool attitude. Juwe never saw anybody like him. How it was possible? She didn't know, but this was only the first of the weird things she would see in the dark world her dad cold his.
"So Megs gave you the message!" the Liquidator asked.
"Yeah only Sparky told me today, I would have killed him if he had forgotten it!" QJ muttered moody.
"Don't call me Sparky, besides, how did you get here so fast? I live closer by and I left immediately after I called you!"
"That's for me to now and for you to question, Sparky." QJ said getting less grumpy now he could tease some one.
"I told you NOT TO CALL ME THAT!" MegaVolt said nearly yelling this time.
"So what if I do Sparky? Oeps I said it again, Sparky." he giggled hysterically "It just doesn't seem to get out of the system Sparky, sorry!"
"Maybe this will help!" Megs said and shot a bolt of electricity at the duck that hadn't seen that one coming and took it right in the face, felt backwards and screamed "Aaauw! I'll get you for that one, Sparky!" QJ flip-flopped toward Megs stopping a few steps away and took 2 huge water guns and pointed them at MegaVolt.
"You wouldn't?" Megs said rather worried taking a few steps back.
"Wanna try me, Sparky?!"
The Liquidator was watching this scene rather amused. No matter how many times he saw this, it didn't cease to amuse him. Those two always kept fighting and arguing over the most stupid things as a married couple.
"Don't even think about it, stupid duck! I need Sparky for this job!" an angry duck groaned as he had came in from the other room.
"Oww, hey boss didn't see you!" QJ muttered scared.
"Hey boss good to see you" MegaVolt said on the same way.
"Oww boss that a long while ago! Nice seeing you again!" Liqui said on a tone they use in commercials.
"Shut up you knobs!" he groaned "Where is Reggie?" he added, getting agitated, he hated waiting.
"Sorry I 'm late." a mutant plant came in "Oww, hallow boss!" he added with a shaking voice when he saw Negs looking rather mad because he had to wait.
"So now all of you idiots are finally here we can get to business!" he said still groaning and let the way to his office. The door closed behind the 5, leaving a little girl alone in a pile of teddies.
--
"So I guess you boys all did your homework I gave you last time" Negs said dangerously sweet.
QJ who had entered last and closed the door was standing behind the other three and as they where all nodding enthusiastically he was making a rather worried face.
"Liqui?"
"I did as you said boss: here's a diskette with all the information of the public school of St.Canard, till now an hour ago you, could ever find!" he said proud of his work.
"Great!" Negs said with an evil smile "Veggie? Did you finally got those buxsus under control?"
"Yes boss, it took a while but now they obey my every comment!"
"Great, that might take away failures like last time!" he said nasty "Sparky, what about you?"
"I made the new electric devise you asked for, I just need to test it!" he said proud "Don't call me Sparky please!" he added almost in a silent whisper.
This made Nega Duck grin evilly when he turned to the last of the five. "QuakerJack!" he said with a darker voice already suspecting that there would be something wrong. The clown hadn't start giggling hysterically as he used to do when he had a new toy to show and be proud of. The other villains heard the dangerous sound in Nega Ducks voice and did a step back leaving QJ, right in front of Nega Duck who was looking impatient, to scared to say a thing
"You did make my new little toy, didn't you!" he said adding the last part rather threatening.
QJ stood nervously trying to make a sentence which would be understandable "I… it's that…I was kinda busy…and I forgot …and… I…!" he muttered trying not to fall at his knees immediately "I need some more time!" he concluded shyly.
"What did I told you knob last time when we busted out of prison?" he asked as he was walking around QJ and his desk making the first one really nervous.
"That…that we had to see… that they were ready when you came back!" he said quietly knowing that it wouldn't help to ask his friends for help cause they were just as him to scared of Nega Duck.
"So you know what I said?!" he said still quite calm as he approach.
QJ nodded getting more intimidated with the moment then Nega Duck jump forwards suddenly and grab QJ by his collar, holding him right in front of his face, the other had taken another step back.
"So why the hell didn't you do what I asked you, stupid clown!" he yelled and then said on his most blood lusty way "Give me one, just one good reason not to kill you right now!"
"I…I...I'll make it, I can make it!" he stumble out fearful. Why hadn't he done it earlier? he wondered "I'll make it right away boss, it'll be even finished this evening!" he muttered searching desperately for more to say.
"Really?" Negs asked calmly again but still didn't let go of him. This made the other fearsome looking worried toward each other Quaky was really in the deadly risky zone for the moment.
"Why didn't you done it earlier then?" he said, his words where poison.
The jester thought deeply he couldn't possibly say that for what he cared about Nega Duck could go to hell, which would be a one-way to hell for him instead. So he was just hanging there waiting for Nega Duck's next move!
"I want it tomorrow first thing in the morning at my desk!" he groaned "and if not, you'll have a private appointment with my favourite chainsaw, if you get what I mean!" he said menacingly.
QJ nodded fearfully, why the hell did he say that he could do it in a night that was impossible.
Nega Duck let go of him roughly and looked with poisoning eyes at him then he turned to the rest of the coward as well. "You'll notice when I need you knobs." he said and walked out throwing the doors open roughly.
The other villains of the fearsome just looked at QJ, who sat on the ground still trying to get over his fear.
"Why didn't you do it earlier?" Megs asked finally.
QJ didn't answer and stayed as last one in the head quarters. When he was sure the where all gone he went to the pile of teddy's "Hey kid you can come out now!" he said rather lifeless.
"Who the hell was that creep?" she asked.
"My boss!" he said still shaking.
"You okay dad?" She asked when she noticed he was acting strange, or better quite normal what was strange for him, who mostly act strange.
"Yeah!" But for how long? He was wondering to himself. "Lets' get out of here kid!" he said and picked her up and placed her in his neck and started to dance out of the building.
--
"Don't move Quaky but you have a kid on your head?" MegaVolt said while he jumped from behind the corner of the Fearsome Five's hideout where he had been waiting for his friend. Holding his hand ready and zapped toward Juwe who was sitting in QJ's neck as they came out of the building.
"Wait, no, don't!" QJ said and dove away from the bolt "Did you totally lost your mind!" QJ yelled angry at MegaVolt and placed Juwe on the ground.
"Who didn't?" Megs responds dryly.
"Yeah, okay stupid question!" QJ admitted remembering that he didn't even knew one physically healthy person in whole St.Canard, and certainly not his friends. MegaVolt saw the kid who was standing at QJ side and was staring at him with big brown eyes.
"Who the heck is she?" he asked looking at QJ while pointing at the kid.
Juwe had at first been a bit shocked when she saw MegaVolt for the first time. The moments she had been hiding she had only heard his voice because he was always out of her sight. She had thought that the voice would belong to a freaky person but when she had seen the owner of the cranking voice she rather liked him. He was wearing a weird yellow jump suit with a huge plug on his chest and a battery pack on his back. He had a funny look in his eyes, almost no hair and a weird hat, which had sparkled when he wanted to zap her. Probably that was why her dad and everybody else cold him Sparky. And leaving his cool but freaky powers out she didn't fear him. Probably because she knew he wouldn't hurt her as long that her dad, his best friend would be there at least. Now she was hopping on a cheerful way toward the rat from out her hiding place behind her dad.
"So you're Sparky?" she asked taking another studying look at him.
"Don't call me that!" he cried ready to zap her but QJ jumped protective in front of her again. "No, no, no, no don't. Calm down Megsy!" he said quickly.
"You have quite cool powers!" she said as she crawled threw QJ legs to face Megs again. "My dad told you had kinda of amazing electrics but I didn't expect this kinda stuff!"
"He did?" Megs asked flattered "Wait a sec, who is your dad? Am I supposed to know him?"
QJ nodded not to, afraid of the humiliation that would follow, but it was too late as Juwe already said it. "Suppose to! From what I heard you're his best friend!"
Megs looked confused at her, not able anymore to follow what was happening.
"He's standing in front of you!" she said pointing at Quaky who was making a whiny face.
"What?" MegaVolt said to surprised by this ridicules idea to know if he should be shocked or to laugh "Hey kid I don't think so!" he got himself up again "That is QuakerJack feared villain and member of the Fearsome Five he isn't a dad!"
"Bet he is!" she said challenging the villain.
"Yeah right!" MegaVolt was totally making fun of her not even considering believing it.
"Ask him." Juwe said on an even more changeling tone.
"Hey Quaky she's totally crazy isn't she?" MegaVolt asked being to curios after his comrade opinion that handn't said anything yet in the whole discussion.
"You are what?"
"Pregnant, how many times do I have to repeat it I said it like 30 times by new!"
"How the heck is that possible?"
The young women gave him a sarcastic glare at his last commends.
"Okay!" he said releasing the stupid ness of his question "Never mind that! But what are you going to do?"
"I?"
A young duck, at most 20 years old looked confused to the young women who was standing before him.
"Your also responsible for it!" she snapped.
"Okay, I get it. But I mean what are you going to do?" the jester clothed man repeated his question.
"I think I wanna keep it!"
"It'll stop your career wouldn't it?" he asked doubtfully.
"Yes, probably but I just can't … it's she is…" their was a silent "I would prefer you wouldn't come near me for a while?"
"What? Why?"
She gave him a loving but sad look at the same time "It's not entirely your fold!"
"Interlay?"
"Listen I need some rest okay this is very hard for me!"
"And not for me or what?!"
"Are you walking around with a twice as big belly!" she asked which made him reconsider his snappiness on the last comment. "Listen I would prefer that you don't tell too much persons about it!"
There was a other short silent "I won't tell but I won't lie!" a Mr.BananaBrain doll said with a high peeked voice.
----
"Why didn't you tell me?" MegaVolt asked with still tears of laughing in his eyes.
"You're the only one I ever told actually!" QJ said rather annoyed with the fact that his best friend had been laughing at him for over 15 minutes, rolling over the floor laughing so hard it surprised that S.H.U.S.H. hadn't come to see what was going on. They were now walking toward their hideouts, as they had to go the same way for a little part of the way they had joined up. Juwe was running forwards playing with Mr.BananaBrains that QJ had used to insult MegaVolt the next 10 minutes after he had been laughing.
"You a dad! Who had ever expected that?" Megs giggled.
"Stop it! Please I can't stand that word!" QJ said moody.
"Why dad?" MegaVolt teased, happy that the roles had change for ones. They were almost at the lighthouse.
Suddenly QJ turned to MegaVolt and took his upper arms in a thigh grip forcing Megs to face him. "Just don't." he groaned angry then stared to look pitiful. "Megs … I need your help!" he whined quite ashamed that he was asking help.
"What? With what?" MegaVolt asked already suspecting he wouldn't like what was about to come.
"I need you to baby sit her!" QJ said on a diplomatic way, as if he was trying to sell his toys in the old days.
"What you are kidding me right?" MegaVolt said shocked, he knew that whatever QJ was going to ask for he probably wouldn't like but this he wasn't expecting.
"No I'm seriously!"
"Well no way and I 'm serious as well!"
"Please, please, please, please, please Megs!" QJ whined.
"Nononononono!" MegaVolt said quickly, he was not going to fall for this and add quickly "Get yourself a baby-sitter!"
"Nobody dares to come to baby-sit. They think she's a psycho or something!"
"Well I'm not gonna do it either! You should have think and then act!" he said.
"Oww really wise Megs!" he said rather annoyed then change his tone "Please Elmo.." he begged.
"Don't call me that either!" MegaVolt said feeling rather weird, it was a while ago he heard his real name. QJ was the only one who sometimes used it as well as Dorkwing although MegaVolt had no idea how he knew his real name.
QJ ignored that last part "Nega Duck is going to kill me if don't get that new toy finished by dawn!" he said looking freaked out and scared "and building the toy in that one night is already impossible but I really can't work with her at my place. She's asking to much attention and that kind of stuff, please Megs!" he asked and fell on his knees before the rat. This was so humiliating but he was his last hope.
Megavolt was rather shocked by this "Why don't you ask Liquid or Reggie?" he asked on an uncomfortable way. He never saw QJ so depressed (perhaps the time he had lost Mr.BananaBrain and he had asked Megs to help find him. Megs didn't really felt anything for a search behind that stupid doll, it was always being unbelievable rude to him and QJ never said a word about it.), leave away kneeling for anybody else that Nega Duck (witch everybody would, so).
"Yeah right!" QJ said almost disgusted by the idea "I don't trust Liqui with her! And Reggie knows plant no kids!"
"So do I. I know bulbs no kids!"
"Please!" he whined still on his knees.
MegaVolt got tired of looking at the pitiful clown and couldn't stand it that he was losing even more time not to mention this was also harming their super villain reputation. (In reality MegaVolt could just not deny that QJ was his best friend and he really loved him, on a friend way that was, and see Nega Duck kill him wouldn't be so nice so!) "Okay!" he said doubtfully.
"Yes!" QJ jumped up "Thanks Megs I knew I could count on you!" he was so happy he even hugged this comrade villain for a moment. Juwe was standing before them leaving the 2 guys blushing of shame and letting go of each other quickly. Juwe gave her dad a rather weird glare, which he personally didn't even want to understand.
"Hey listen kid your gonna have a sleep over at your uncle Megs!" he giggled smiling jovially at her waving his arms enthusiastically "So I can finish my work!"
"Don't cal me that either, either!" Megs said still looking uncomfortable and having a weird sensation with the uncle thing.

Authors note: I just uploaded this chapter again as well. I slightly rewrote it or structure it but most of all I tried to improve the spelling. There will probably still be a lot of mistakes in it but I can assure you it are a hole lot less. I really try to work on my grammar. Anyway I hope it's a bit better this way. PLEASE REVIEW!
