"Observants"

Uhm, I've had this idea for a while now, 'hope no one has done it yet…

Clockwork stood at these who liked to consider themselves 'his bosses', posture straight, shoulders squared, and a perplex look on his face.

"I… I still do not understand how that could happen, I mean… he came out of nowhere!" He declared, floating from left to right with a hand on his forehead, apparently deep in reflection. "It was like…" A horrified expression crossed his face, whilst he changed to his child form and exclaimed "you don't think he has some sort of Time Powers, do you?"

"Quit the play, Clockwork." One of the Observants said, visible exasperation marked on it's only eye. "We know you let the humans and the halfa go. What we demand to know is why?"

The Master of Time gasped dramatically and put a hand on his chest, with a betrayed face.

"How can you think that? We are in the same side! Remember? 'Preventing the world from being destroyed'. And I was about to do it when that… unpredictable boy surprised me. Me! The Master of Time! How do you think I feel about it? Being outruned by a normal teenager!"

The Observants seemed to be ready to vanish him. If only it were not impossible for them, and if they didn't need him still. One was banging it's head-eye on the table, other had it's eye closed and a fist were would be it's forehead, and, in general, the others were just exasperated and resigned.

"Then why did you let him DO IT?!" Yelled one, green veins marked on it's eye.

"Honestly, if you can not believe me, I don't think we can really work together. But if you really think I did it on purpose, we can only watch it again."

Ignoring the grunts and protests from his 'superiors', Clockwork turned and moved his staff over his head, and appeared an engeen-shaped screen, which showed the moment the Master of Time was about to kill the young halfa, when the techno-geek… surprised him and the human teens ran away.

"You see? I was stunned in surprise! No wonder they could escape." He said, changing to and old man and folding his arms across his chest.

Another Observant was about to retort something and keep up the argument, but instead, just sighed and said "You know what? Just go and make sure Dan Phantom does not exists!"

With a tired sigh, and changing to a middle-aged man, Clockwork said "That's what I intend. Now, if you excuse me…" And with that, he opened a portal and returned to his lair, smirking and laughing on his way out. He hadn't had so much fun in a long while.

Once he was gone, One of the Observants asked incredulous "Why do we keep asking him for help?"

The Head sighed and said "Because we are forbidden to interfere… and he can see things we cannot." An finally, everyone agreed.

Clockwork is a little shit.

I love him.
