A/N;
Hi again everyone! Two chapters in one day? Yes! I love the story so much why not have some more? As I told you in the last chapter these two scenes are going to be split. So now we've skipped ahead a month in time, and Drake and Vivian have gotten a lot closer. If you didn't read chapter 5 already, I'll give you a little recap. In the last chapter we learned some more things about Vivian, what she used to look like when her and NegaDuck met each other, and his whole thoughts and feelings on the situation. Now that everyone's caught up enjoy this chapter!
A month later.
Willow had a really bad seizure, ending up in the hospital. She wasn't herself, she was very clingy to Vivian and when Honker or Gosalyn came to visit her, she would be very quiet and very non-talkative. Something was wrong, usually she would have one night in the hospital after a seizure that was this bad, but recently she's been feeling really weak and really tired. Something was wrong, and Drake had a feeling he knew who was behind this.
" I think I know who's behind this LP." Drake whispered to Launchpad, who, had just come back from visiting folks.
"Gee DW, Who do you think it is? "Launchpad asked. Drake scowled. "NegaDuck." He seethed.
"Really? But isn't it a little early on for him to be doing this?" The pilot questioned.
"Yes, which is exactly what he wants us to think." He whispers.
Suddenly a nurse came in. "Jim Starling is here to see you." The nurse said, in a thick New York accent. Vivian and Drake scowled, knowing that Jim A.k.a. NegaDuck was here to torture them both as well as Willow.
"Uh, I don't think Willow is up for visitors right now." Vivian interjected.
"He said he is her biological father, and the rules state that biological related family members are allowed to be here. "She says, as she looks down at her clipboard, her pen touching her beak.
The nurse gestured Jim in, as he had a fake innocent smile on his face. Drake got up, standing protectively over Willow. There was not much he could do in his civilian identity, he would prefer Darkwing to be here, but Vivian didn't know that he was actually Darkwing so that won't be a little hard right now.
Jim walked in, the same fake act he was using when he arrived. He was wearing his signature purple Business style jacket, with a blue top underneath, vastly different from his usual Super villain attire, the perfect disguise, along with his genius acting skills.
"My baby girl! "Jim said with fake innocence, Drake and Vivian both scowled.
"You are not her father! You may be her biological father but you are not a father to this child!" Vivian growled. Drake gestured the pilot to leave as things could get pretty ugly.
"Oh, is this your boyfriend? "Jim asked, seething. Drake quickly interlocked his hands with Vivian, playing along with the idea. "Yes, yes she's my girlfriend!" Drake said confidently, squeezing her hand and massaging it lovingly, before placing a gentle kiss on it to make his act believable. Although, in reality, Drake really wanted to make her his own, because he'd fallen head over heels for her, he admired everything about her. Her beauty, her strength and willingness to keep fighting even when times got tough, the fact that she wasn't afraid to admit when she wasn't okay, The fact that they could comfort each other with the same words meant things to him that he never had with Morgana. And to show how much he loved her, he was going to save Willow. And show how devoted to his little family he is. Because a hero would do anything for his or her family. And Drake knows this. He knows this very well.
Vivian played along with the act as well, squeezing his hand back and placing a gentle peck on the cheek. Drake smiled up at her, the same loving gaze in his eyes. "We've been dating for, around six months now. "Vivian said, Drake nodded confidently confirming. "He's treated my child with the love you failed to give her! She calls him Dad more than you could ever be considered one! Now get out, or else."
Jim continued seething, anger finally got too much and he grabbed Vivian by the neck pulling her upwards, she screamed. "I'm going to make your life hell Vivian! I'm slowly going to end your life! Inside," he gestured to the drip at the other side of his biological daughter. " it isn't feeding milk! Slowly, and carefully, your daughter is dying... The only way for her to survive, is an antidote, which I have. But, in return for the antidote, a certain terror that flaps in the night needs to give up his beloveds city, or else." He snapped his fingers. " she'll be gone. "He said aggressively putting Vivian back down and leaving with the same innocent smile on his face he had when he came in.
Once the two adults in the room were sure Jim had left. Vivian started crying. "He's gonna kill my daughter!" She sobbed, Drake was almost in tears as well, as he saw the sleeping victim. He cleared his throat, trying to get rid of the lump.
"Don't worry Vivian... We'll save her. "He said, trying to sound reassuring, but found it difficult as his voice was breaking. Vivian took Willow's hand and began to caress it lovingly. "Don't worry baby, we're gonna save you. I promise."
Drake gulped. He had to save her, before it was too late. No doubt the fearsome 5 were involved in this too, leaving even more villains to fight. Drake couldn't leave Vivian like this, he couldn't. But he needed to save Willow, saving Willow is more important than his identity crisis right now. Drake stepped over to Vivian, The single mother turned around her eyes looking painfully Red from crying. "I have to go Vivian. "Drake said softly, the single mother looked at him worried. "Where? I don't want you getting hurt… "Drake swallowed tickly. "I wouldn't be a hero if I didn't save your daughter." He said, getting his alter ego's hat placing it on his head, quickly getting his mask and putting it over his eyes.
Vivian gasped, tiering up. "Drake… No… You can't be seriously..." she couldn't finish the sentence due to being all weld up with emotion. Drake stepped forward, coming closer, taking Vivian's hands in his own. "I'm going to save our family... I won't rest until we know she is safe, who knows how long she'll have left… I love you so much… I'm going to do everything in my power to bring back our family and bring us together again… I promise. " he leaned up, pressing a kiss to Vivian's lips, concealing the promise. He then stepped back a little, caressing her cheeks. "I'll come back..." he whispers softly, caressing her cheeks again. "You have to trust me Vivian… You have to… it's the only way you're going to be able to keep Willow alive. You have to trust me.." he pleaded.
"I-I trust you, Drake…" she said, kissing him on the lips. He kissed back lovingly before quickly pulling away, and positioning his hands once again by her cheeks, once again caressing them. "Thank you, thank you for trusting me… I WILL save her… I promise. "He said, looking into her eyes one last time. She nodded, allowing him to leave.
Drake, now dressed in his alter ego, quickly slid over to Launchpad and Gosalyn, Who had resided themselves to the chairs in the waiting room. Darkwing looked at his sidekick, who looked up at him. "I'm intrusting you, LP. You need to make sure Vivian is taken care of, I don't want her going however many days without eating sleeping or doing anything hygienic. Make sure she takes care of herself. "He said, looking sternly at his sidekick. "Alright, DW. "Launchpad replied saluting. Darkwing giggled, giving his sidekick a hug. "If I need back up I'll let you know. Okay? " he promised.
"Gosalyn." Darkwing said fatherly. "Your job is just as important okay? Your job is to take care of Willow… Let her know that you're here, and that I'm going to help her… Tell her stories, tell her about your days at school, anything to keep her mind away from all the pain. " Gosalyn nodded, hugging her father tightly who hugged back just as tight as he placed a kiss on her forehead. "Be careful, dad. "She said worryingly.
Drake nuzzled his beak against hers. "I will. "He said softly. "Maybe You could teach her or sing her your little lullaby… It might help her through some dark times. Gosalyn nodded. "Well we are sisters. "She said, Drake smiled, his heart melting. "Yes you are." He said, squeezing her hands. " in a few years it will be official. I want to spend The rest of my life with her. "His adopted daughter smiled, nodding and approval. "I really want a Mom." She said. "You'll have one, whenever she's ready.… I don't want to force her, especially after what she's gone through. "His daughter nods understandingly. Drake stood up from his crouched position. "Let's save your sister." Gosalyn nodded. "Go get em, Dad." She said fiercely. "I will. "He says boldly, striking a pose before leaving, he turns around to face her one more time before giving her a nod, a signal that he will come back, no matter what.
