A/N: TRIGGER WARNING! Mild language!

Darkwing Duck stared at his nemesis's evil lair, the smell of drugs emanated around his hideout. It smelt disgusting! Something his adopted daughter shouldn't be a part of. He stepped in, careful not to let his webbed feet step on any of the broken glass alcoholic beverages. Then he heard evil cackling from his one and only nemesis. NegaDuck.

"Hello Darkwing my old friend, I've come to torture you again." NegaDuck sang maliciously, parodying a song.

"Nice entry there bud, but unless you want to get a bunch of copyright lawyers here I would stop there. "Darkwing responded mockingly. His foe stood opposite him, glaring at him. "That's not why I'm here, I'm here to end that little asshole! She doesn't deserve to be here! Unless, you want to give me your beloved city now? I don't mind. "Darkwing glared. "NegaDuck, you do realise you're killing your own daughter right? You seriously realise that don't you? You're killing your daughter."

NegaDuck lunged forward, beginning to attack his archenemy. " yes, how smart! I do realise that you dumbass! That's why am doing this, I want her dead! She's done nothing but ruin my life! "He shouted beating Darkwing, causing blood to start trickling down. "Jim... I know you don't want to do this! I don't want to do this! Believe me, you're going to make yourself more alone and more miserable if you end her life like this! "Darkwing shouted, while trying to fight his enemy at the same time, who had managed to knock him in the ribs causing a satisfying crack to emanate from them. "I don't care! She's going to know the pain she put us through!" NegaDuck replied, going over to a monitor where he could lower and heighten the amount of the poison going into Willow. Darkwing stared at the poison meter already up 50%. He tried to lunge forward and push his enemy out of the way but his enemy was already four steps ahead of him. He pushed the button and the remaining members of the fearsome 5 appeared, all cackling and laughing wanting to get revenge on Darkwing.

The superhero lunged forward, taking out the remaining members with ease.

"Ha!" Darkwing said, as he arrived at his nemesis, who was smirking.

"Ha! Yourself! " NegaDuck said, pushing his enemy down, as chains wrapped around him, restraining his arms and legs. "If you wanted to put a restraining order on me just say. " Darkwing tried to joke, but he found it hard because it felt like the chains were physically burning him, which, they were.

"OW!" Darkwing hissed. "S-s-st-stop!" Darkwing pleaded, his enemy looked at him with the evil grin on his face. "Oh, I'll stop, when you're dead or if you give me your city now. "He said, coming over and peering down at his enemy who held a straight face. "Never! "Darkwing wheezed through pain, as his enemy looked at him completely enjoying this segment a little too much.

The fearsome 5 all stood there, laughing hysterically as they watched their biggest enemy get tortured alive. This wasn't the same as torturing Willow, but it would satisfy him, for now. Darkwing was getting weaker, the pain was getting too much, as fire rose upwards, worming its way underneath the hero. His cape was visibly disintegrating from the fire and his tailfeathers were almost the same colour as Daffy Duck's, Black as charcoal. Darkwing wasn't sure if he was going to even make this, but he had to, for Willow, if she didn't have a father figure in her life somehow then Darkwing wouldn't live with himself. He tried to wiggle free from the chains restricting him, but because of the heat they weren't going anywhere. Not even his magical cutters that could cut anything would work.

"P-p-p-please! NegaDuck stop! You don't know what you're doing! "Darkwing wheezed again, Having a coughing fit and gasping for air, as his lungs were filling up with smoke he was finding it harder and harder to breathe. But he wasn't going to give up, if only he could just reach his gas gun, then this would be over. This horrid dream would be over, none of this would happen anymore, and he could go home to his family and see them again. But, alas, NegaDuck had the cure which would potentially save Willow. So he had to keep riding, for her and only her. He just hoped LP could keep Vivian stable, he hoped that Gosalyn would be able to keep Willow's mind off the pain, he hoped that he could save everyone, he hoped that he could get rid of his arch nemesis forever, all of those were hopes, they weren't realities so the chances of that happening weren't unlikely but they weren't just going to coincidentally happen either.

He needed to save his family.

NegaDuck stared at him, looking down at the fire slowly burned him alive. "Please! You don't have to do this! You're not like this! "Darkwing coughed, More smoke filling his lungs. The evil counterparts staring at him. "Fine. Ya wanna know everything? Fine." NegaDuck seethed, turning it off causing the heroic version of his counterpart to sigh in relief.

Darkwing got up, his leg is very wobbly from being strapped down for so long. NegaDuck guided him to a chair, sitting opposite him.

He could do this.

NegaDuck could do this. He could tell his arch enemy everything. He could do this.

With one final exhale, his arch nemesis began the story.

"I met her back in college. I was doing classes to improve my acting skills, improv skills and so on. She was very sweet, and very smart. But she was very shy... One day when we were rehearsing for a show, I was the lead of course. Vivian came over with her costumes, which she designed. I was really impressed, and so was the teacher, I'll never forget the smile on her face that complimented her black cliche nerdy glasses. It was beautiful. We got relatively close relatively quickly and we always helped each other out, I loved her fashion design work she was always so creative, and she helped me rehearse for most things. But we had a dance that one night, that made me officially fall in love with her, she looked stunning in the purple lavender dress she had made by herself, I was so captivated by her I couldn't move..." NegaDuck said dreamily as he reminisced.

Clearing his throat, he continued. "We started dating each other not long after that night, and, if I'm being honest, I don't know if I regretted it or not. I loved her... I really really did... "He said, beginning to slip out of his super villain character. "I really loved her... I really really did... "He spoke on the verge of crying.

"But, NegaDuck, Vivian told me you cheated on her. If you truly loved her why did you cheat on her? "Darkwing asked. He is evil counterpart opposite him looked at him. "Vivian and I had a big argument, and Megan saved me. She was a lot more outgoing than Vivian, in my personal opinion I don't regret cheating on her. I loved Vivian, but I couldn't, I couldn't because of her goddamn pregnancy! I told her on many occasions that I never wanted kids! I told her so many fucking times!" Darkwing stared at him, asking him to continue.

"I never wanted kids. Ever. Kinda ironic now that I have Gosalyn. But she had the nerve to get fricking pregnant! " NegaDuck seethed. As Darkwing cut in.

"Your, daughter, is, dying! Don't you care?! Your own daughter is dying! What father would be so cruel to kill their own biological daughter?! Your daughter has spent seven years in the St. canard Children's Hospital! SEVEN YEARS! She's only just going to school, she only just started making friends, and you want her dead? She's barely experienced the world! Be lucky she is still alive now. Your daughter was born three months early! She could've died at birth! But no, you're too busy thinking about yourself rather than what you put your family through. Kill me, I dare you. But you will not, and I repeat, WILL NEVER lay one fucking finger on that child! Ya hear me? Not, one, finger. Or you'll surely know you fucked up!" Darkwing threatened.

NegaDuck stared at him. Three months? Three months early? How did she-

NegaDuck's racing thoughts were cut off as his nemesis stepped towards him. "I know you don't want to do this… I know you don't want to… So why are you doing this? If your daughter was here, would you listen to her? Scratch that, if both your daughters were here, would you listen to them? There's no use in running from your problems, NegaDuck. They'll only follow you. Trust me.. "

NegaDuck sunk down to the bottom of the machine, tears falling down his cheeks. Darkwing sat beside him, his mask off. "Every villain has a chance at redemption, Jim. Even you." Jim stared at his arch nemesis with his mask off. "Drake…? "He asked. "Yes Jim, it's me, Drake Mallard. The kid that was inspired to do what you did every Saturday morning. You inspired me, Jim. You inspire many of us. So stop playing the villain character you weren't meant to play, and play the character of the hero you always played. If not for me, do it for Willow… She needs a hero she can look up to…"

Jim turned to his number one fan, smiling. "I think she's already got one… She has you, Drake… She doesn't need me... i've never been there for her… And besides, I think Vivian found her hero as well. She deserves you, Drake. Make Vivian happy…"

Drake smiled at his hero. "I will." He said, helping Jim up. Jim led him to the back of his letter, where indeed, there was the antidote. "Take this to her. "He whispered. Drake looked at him, putting his hand on the antidote. "Why don't you? It would show her that you care about her… She'd love it." Jim squeezed the antidote gently, seeing visions of his biological daughter with her rightful family.

A/N: FINALLY! I updated! Finally finally finally! Honestly I don't know where this is going XD! I originally wanted them to actually battle each other, not just a little bit like in this chapter but like a lot. I scrapped the idea because I remembered that I am sticking to the DuckTales 2017 Jim character. Jim is originally an actor in the DT reboot, so I'm sticking with that for this. Unlike the reboot, they suppose Jim is dead, but as you can clearly see from chapter 3 he's not dead, clarified when Vivian remembers him and in chapter 6 when the nurse tells Drake and Vivian that he is here to see them and ends up threatening them.

Also, I originally wasn't planning on Jim having a mini break down until further in the story, but I was listening to praying by Kesha, and my story took a U-turn lol. Because of this, I wanted Drake and Jim to have a moment together, as like a 'fan and Idol thing' basically instead of the Idol telling the fan that they can do anything and stuff, it's the other way around. I know in the original DW series NegaDuck NEVER had a redemption arc, but hey, I like redemption arcs, because I'm nice like that. But, I'm not sure about going to go with the redemption arc thing, because there's not really anything Jim can do to kind of deserves redemption. I mean, come on! He cheated on his girlfriend for crying out loud! This ain't Eliza and Hamilton.

But maybe? I don't know yet.

Also. I apologise for not updating this in awhile, I've been taking a break from it so I don't have to force myself to write anything. I've been going through a lot lately, and Darkwing hasn't been on my priority list right now. There's a lot going on surrounding my personal life right now, and with school on top of all that, I haven't had any time to update anything. But I'm not going to make promises anymore, I said to you two weeks ago almost that I was going to have this finished by now. And look where that landed me. So from now on, not to set deadlines for myself. I'll update the story as and when I see fit.

So until the next time I update! Stay dangerous!
