AN: Emmy and the Warners will return in two chapters. I will warn you there is mention of death in this chapter. In this chapter, if multiple paragraphs are in Italics close to each other then it means it's a flashback.

"We're here, Sir" Thyme said to his current boss in the passenger side of his car.
Mike nodded, silently, an unreadable expression on his before looking around at the scenery outside of the car.
The sky was gray and looked like it was going to rain. The usually singing trees and flowers weren't singing and looked normal. The houses filled with holes and looked empty due to the darker colors. And a few splats of dried up dip and ink were splattered on the sidewalk.
Thyme shuttered at the sight. He could only imagine what had happened here.
"He did a wonderful job with the place didn't he, Thyme...?" Mike asked a smirk etched across his face.
"Yes sir, he...c-certainly did"
The cat toon nodded, the smirk still on his face. Like, he knew this place was giving Thyme the chills or something like that.
"Now let's go...to the big bosses house or now office, or whatever you want to call it" Mike said, and waved his hand dismissively. Before leaning his elbows on his knees.
Thyme nodded and started the car once more.

After, a while the two toons pulled up to a large house/ building. The house was a dark gray. The inside was covered by black curtains. And it seemed to have crows circling around the top looking for prey. It was very much a disturbing house. That almost no toon would ever want to step into. Like Thyme, but he didn't have much of a choice. Unless he wanted to be Dipped right then and there.
'And I'm supposed to be a villain toon' Thyme thought to himself with a shake of his head.
XXX
"So... are you just going to stand there or...?" Mike asked, his impatient mind starting to come in to play.
"Oh... Sorry, I thought you were going knock..." Thyme said, embarrassed.
"Why would I be the one to knock I mean seriously he is your original boss, not mine so why..."
Thyme just turned to the door and tuned out Mike's rambling. Before taking a deep breath and raising his hand to the door. 'Calm down... Thyme... it's not like he would kill you for knocking or kill you for coming back after HE himself sent me to Mike... then again... I've seen him plenty of toons that really did nothing wrong... Welp here goes nothing... I guess'
Thyme then knocked on the door in front of him.
A toon nearly three times bigger then him opened the door... before staring down at the toons in front of him for a few seconds. Making Thyme, feel a bit uneasy. This bodyguard should recognize him, right..?
"H-Hello... Mr. Soran... sir" Thyme said to the bodyguard.
"Oh... it just you Thyme...Mr.-" Soran was cut off by Mike. "And I'm here too" Mike said.
Soran shook his head slightly and Thyme wanted to do the same but decided against it.
"Yes, Your here too... As I was saying before I was interrupted.. was that Mr. Blade is ready for you inside" Soran spoke and Thyme nodded "Yes, S-sir, Come along Mike" Thyme said before being pushed aside.
"I know where I'm going. And I don't need any help from anyone. That also means I don't need help from Servants like you" Mike said going ahead. Thyme wanted to slam his head against the wall at this point but instead just followed Mike inside.
XXX
"Mike! Are you sure you know what you're doing...?!" Thyme said, getting frustrated with the cat toon in front of him.
Mike huffed and turned on his heel now facing where Thyme could see his face... "Duh, I know where I'm going I'm not a dumb ink spot like you!" Mike shouted.
Thyme couldn't take this toon's bull crap anymore. "I'm the one who's the dumb ink spot... We've been wandering around where I've lived for the past twenty five YEARS! Yet when I tried to do my job and help your Dumb ass! You don't pay attention and ended up getting us possibly more crap then we're already in! So I don't want to hear it. So SHUT your mouth and let me DO. My job!"
Thyme actually felt like a weight was lifted off of his chest when he let all of that out. Then, realized the possibility of Dangerous outcomes from Mike. With this in mind, he slowly looked at the Cat toon's face.
Mike's eyes were narrowed in annoyance but had a hint of amusement behind them. He then let out a groan.
"Finally, I was wondering when you break... I didn't know it was going to take this long..." Mike said, his arms now crossed across his chest.
"Oh... You... were testing... me" Thyme said, trying to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
"Well, Duh... What'd you think I was doin'...?" Mike said, rolling his eyes slightly before looking back to Thyme.
"I-I... I'm not going to answer that question...Let's just go to before we get our butts whooped" Thyme muttered before heading towards his bosses door
XXX
Once they were finally there. Thyme knocked on the door of his first and really the only boss. Thyme ever really had. Not long after he knocked a voice from inside stated
"Come in"
The dog toon took a shaky breath and opened the door. Before looking behind him at the cat toon.
"Come along, Mike"
Mike nodded and stepped inside the office.
The office had a cold and damp feeling to it as soon as Thyme stepped inside but it was a feeling that the Dog toon was familiar with but still very uncomfortable. The dark colors made it hard to see anyone, especially with the curtains, closed half the time. But Thyme noticed something that was a little different about the office it noticed a darker black spot in the room.
Then the Toon realized it was a toon's ink... His boss had killed another innocent toon. This sent a shiver down Thyme's spine and mentally noted not to piss off his boss ever. For probably the thousandth time.
Then, a voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"It's so lovely to have you back, Thyme"
The dog toon recognized the voice as his original boss, Icarus Blade
XXX
"It's great to see you again, sir" Thyme slightly bowed as he said this, treating his boss like he was a king. Though to every other toon didn't and hated him. Though only a few dared to say it aloud.
The dog toon then looked up to the back faced chair when a made a noise of protest when it started to turn.
When the chair fully turned. Thyme could barely see but he could see a little of his bosses white fur and his red nose.
The toon then heard the chair his boss was sitting on make another noise of protest as he stood up.
"Mike, Come see me" The Toon spoke.
"Yes sir"
"Oh and Thyme make sure to turn the light to the room"
"B-But sir, wouldn't th-" Thyme was cut off
"Mike, has already spoken to me about his plan with the Warners and he really wants to do this...he needs to know."
"O-Okay Sir, If your really sure" Thyme spoke and moved to a light switch where it turned on a light in the next room.
"Also stay here to make sure there's no trouble with anything or anybody"
"Yes sir"
XXX
The cat toon stepped into the lighted room and waited for Blade to step in. Honestly, he really couldn't believe that this really brutal and to Mike. Brilliant man. Was going to show him. His real identity.
Mike soon heard the door squeak and creak as the doorknob turned. And he turned his head to see him and once he did his eyes widened in shock.
The man standing in front of him was about 6'2 feet tall. He had white fur on his face but black fur on the outside of his face and for his hair. His ears flopped down a little on his head. His nose was a bright red color and he had beady eyes.
Mike couldn't believe that Icarus
Is a Warner.
XXX
"Y-your a Warner...?"
"No, I'm a monkey" Icarus remarked, sarcastically
Mike laughed nervously
Blade just looked at him with an unreadable expression
"Anyway let's get to the real reason why you're here"
Mike cleared his throat "Right"
"The real reason you are here is because of the Warners... or should I say, My children"
"Y-your children...b-but wh-"
Blade held up his hand in a stop monition
"Yeah, I know you're about to ask the whole created in the 30s and locked in the water tower crap and locked In there for 60 years... But all of it is a big lie"
Mike's eyes widened in bewilderment, he couldn't believe the news he was hearing.
"B-But I don't understand"
"…I don't expect you to…Perhaps I should start from the beginning…do you think that may help you understand it better..?"
"Yes Sir, It would"
"Alright then let's start from when I first meet her"
'Her..?' Mike asked himself
XXX
The Young Adult Warner huffed in annoyance as he mopped the floor of the small store he worked at. The store in his mind was nothing but a piece of crap that needed to be sold off to someone who actually gave a damn about it and actually wanted to take care of it.
'Stupid boss…Making me do his dirty work and I get paid barely even minimum wage…This damn place can go die in a hell hole for all I care'
His thoughts were interrupted by a tap on his shoulder and when he turned around. He saw one of the most beautiful toons he had ever seen.
The toon now in front of him was a cat toon. Her face was a very light grey color looking almost white though the fur on the rest of her body was black. She also had black hair that went past her waist. She was wearing a white summer dress with yellow sunflowers on it.
"H-Hello…Miss…May I help you..?"
"Yes Sir, I noticed on unkept this place was and wondered if you wanted any help on fixing it help a bit. My name is Ellie by the way"
"Nice to meet you.I'm Icarus and yes that would be absolutely lovely"
She gave him a soft smile in return "Great, now let's get started"
'Ellie…'
XXX
"From that point on. She would come to the store almost every single day and even one day. Buy the store and make it her own and by that time we were already dating…After a couple of years, I proposed and married her"
"Then, What happened ?" Mike asked he felt like a child being told a story
"Well…We had our first son… as he grew older he reminded me a lot of me. He was witty, sarcastic, and stubborn. Though like Ellie he had a heart of gold and protectiveness of his family especially after his siblings were born"
"What happened to Ellie…?" Mike was almost afraid to ask this question in case Icarus might bite his head off for even mentioning his wife.
"Passed away in a car crash. Just only five months after our youngest was born. Afterward, I deiced to put the young warners in the orphanage. Since they reminded me too much of her. After that, I was told they were given to the WB studios."
Icarus chuckled grimly to himself before he kept going
"Damn, WB has a dark past and way too many secrets especially with those three kids"
Mike titled his head in confusion
"What they did to those three is really messed up…When they hit the ages fourteen, eleven, and ten. They drugged them and made pills to make them think they were created in the 30s and locked in the water tower for sixty years and they do truly believe also made everyone else…Well, at least everyone in California at the time believe it. Though I'm one of the rare people who know the truth. There now you have some of the past of the WB Studios"
"Wait…Sir, What abo-" Mike was cut off
"I'm going to get a glass of water and this story will continue in the next chapter" Icarus stated as he started to walk out the door leaving a very confused Mike behind it.
