Lucy looked outside her bedroom window and started to draw on her notebook. She was sketching some flowers she was observing from afar, with some music on. Just then, she heard a knock at her door and inside came Shinji.
"Shinji, I take it your here to ask me a ton of questions." said Lucy.
"I did. But only one if you don't mind. Why are you being such a shut off now? You just told everyone you knew the Dark Master, now every one is freaking out. You have no idea how many texts Matt is sending me. He's got your number, but he's not texting you." said Shinji.
"I thought it was the perfect time." said Lucy.
"They are friends of ours Lucy. You are not alone. Everyone wants to help you, one way or another. When you told me about your history with the Dark Master, I thought this had nothing to do with what's going on now. But it does. You need to come clean with everyone else." said Shinji.
"You say Matt was texting you?" asked Lucy.
"Yeah. Why don't you talk with him about it? If anyone knows how to handle supernatural things, it's him." said Shinji.
"I don't want to trouble him." said Lucy.
"Well you practically did. You made it seem that you were a caring person. But underneath it all, you are an angry young lady." said Shinji.
"Shut up Onni san." said Lucy with a smile.
"Did you just call me brother?" asked Shinji blushing with joy.
"We are brother and sister now. What makes you think that your my confidant on things." said Lucy.
Matt met the others at Destiny's pharmacy. They were to have a small get together and get things to the point. He was waiting anxiously with Ethan in the entrance of the pharmacy when Lucy, Shinji and Owen showed up.
"Hey you guys. What bad timing." said Matt making levity of the situation.
"Where's Destiny and Tyrone?" asked Owen.
"Tyrone got sick and Destiny is here in the pharmacy. I was going to tell her, but I think we need to talk with Bill." said Matt.
"I talked to Capsar last night. He said that he was going to talk to his uncle to meet up with us." said Owen.
"No one is going to address the elephant in the room?" asked Shinji.
"The what now?" asked Ethan.
"He means my history with the Dark Master." said Lucy with her head down. She somewhat felt a little embarrassed to hide such info from the group. But Matt then spoke up.
"It's alright Lucy. One way or another, we all had some sort of experience with supernatural enemies. That's why your one of us." said Matt with a smile.
Lucy looked at Matt and blushed.
"C'mon, I was expecting some drama." said Shinji.
"So what really happened between you and the Dark Master Lucy? Have you ever met the guy?" asked Owen.
"I have. As a little girl. It's a long story, but I'll do my best to tell you all what I remember."
My father was a scientist working for a lab in Portland. At the time, he was working on special robots for the military. However, he made a new friend who came to work with him. He was a rather friendly man with knowledge about robots. However, in time my father noticed things about this man that were not right. His views on the world were dark and very terrible. One day, my father learned that the man stole some of his blue prints, and when he confronted him, the man introduced himself as the Dark Master. My father got away, took me and my mother to Gravity Falls and he tracked us down. My father left home supposebly to stop him. But he never came back. It's been three years already." said Lucy.
"Robots? That explais the hacked computers." said Ethan.
"But what about all those other leads? The Flowers of Order, my Dad's co worker whose in jail, and the hacked Gameboy? What does it all mean?" asked Owen.
"To side track all of us. But we came to the truth anyway." said Shinji.
"This puzzle is so confusing." said Matt.
"I don't get why the Dark Master is making us go through all that trouble." said Owen.
"To mock us I guess." said Lucy.
"So what are your plans Lucy? What do you want to do?" asked Matt.
"What?" replied Lucy.
"The Dark Master may have done something to your father. And he's a huge threat. And by how he's described, he sounds like the type of person who likes to play mind games." said Matt.
"That is why we need to talk to Bill." said Owen.
"What about the Moth? He seemed to know more about this than us." said Ethan.
"I like that idea!" said Owen smiling.
"But how can we find the Mothman? He could be anywhere." said Lucy.
"I think I know how to call him." said Matt with a wink.
