Hell Hath no Fury like a Duck Scorned
By Eiflin
Chapter 6
As soon as Wildwing heard Dive's call he sped off to the hangar calling Tanya and Duke as he ran. He burst through the doors in time to see the two duck cycles turning out into the road.
"Dive?" he called frantically as he took in the scene around him.
The room had been completely trashed, equipment was scattered across the floor and the Migrator.Wing couldn't believe it. The Migrator had been tipped up on its side, the wheels removed, the windows smashed and the shell crumpled.
"Oh my.' came a voice behind him. He didn't have to look to know that Tanya had just arrived with Duke. Wildwing shook his head and looked around the room again for any sign of his little bro.
"Dive." he called again and listened to the silence. Where was he? The ducks split up to search the room. Tanya and Wing were making their way quickly through the wreckage around the migrator when they heard Duke's call from the other end of the hangar.
"Wing! Over here."
The grey mallard was crouching over the unconcious teenager, lifting his blonde head away from the wall he had collapsed against. Blood was dripping out of a gash in the back of Dives head onto the metal floor collecting in a crimson pool contrasting with the young ducks pale face. Wildwing felt a knot tighten in his throat at the sight of his baby bro.
"Dive." he whispered.
The other ducks stood back as Wildwing silently dropped to his knees and gently scooped the injured duck up in his arms, concern and fear twisted into the features of the mask. His mind was racing, how could this have happened?.he didn't want to believe that either Mallory or Grin could have done this, even under Wraith's spell. Anger started to coarse through Wing's body, not at Mallory or Grin.but at Dragonus. He was the one responsible for this, he was going to pay.
Duke was watching Wing closely and noticed the change of emotion in his eyes. He decided to break the silence. ".Wing?"
Wildwing swung his head up to glare at the older duck.
"How could I let this happen Duke?" Wildwing felt his fury boil as he spoke. "Two of our teammates have gone crazy no thanks to Dragonus and now this." He fell silent and looked back down at Nosedive, holding him protectively in his arms.
Tanya stepped forward and placed a soothing hand on the leader's arm trying to calm him down.
"Come on Wing. We need to get Dive to the infirmary" she said softly.
Wildwing said nothing as he stood up and walked briskly out of the hangar, Tanya in tow. Duke stayed where he was, silently watching the door slide shut behind them. He had seen the look of revenge flash in Wildwing's eyes and he couldn't blame him. The kid was always strong and full of life, but to see him helpless had cut Wing deeply. Duke himself felt his insides crawl to see the kid in that state.
Duke turned back to look at the ruined Migrator and sighed heavily as his mind turned to Mallory and Grin. Where had they gone? Surely wherever they were going it was going to mean bad news. If they could do this to the kid then.Duke shook his head and headed out of the door to the infirmary.
Sure enough he found Nosedive on a bed with his big brother standing over him in silence whilst Tanya waved various instruments over the teenager with one hand whilst looking at the different read outs and explaining his condition. The mask that usually seemed permanently attached to Wildwing's face lay forgotton on the side. It was no longer important to Wildwing, it couldn't help his baby bro. He looked hopefully up at Tanya as she spoke again.
"I'm afraid Nosedive's going to have con.concu..cussi.uuh. he's not going to be feeling great" Tanya summarized the obvious. "He also seems to have fractured a couple of ribs and his left shoulder is busted". She sighed as she looked back to the leader. "He'll be ok Wildwing.Dive usually recovers quickly."
Wildwing looked at her before he turned his gaze back down to his little brother. "Thanks Tanya." His voice had no tone and didn't let out how he was feeling.
"I've got to run a few more tests and take some scans of his shoulder."
Wildwing nodded as Tanya went over to the computer. Duke stepped up beside him.
"Come on Wing. Lets leave Tanya to concentrate" he said softly.
Wildwing swung around and glared at Duke. "You want me to leave him like this?" He snapped.
Duke subconsciously took a step back.
"Woo, wait a second. I didn't mean to."
"Didn't mean to what?" Wildwing exploded as he rounded on Duke. "My little brother is lying here injured, and why? Because I sent him down to the hangar.I knew that there was a risk Duke, but I still made him go down there."
The older mallard took a deep breath to steady himself. He definitely was not used to having Wildwing lose control like this. He cast his gaze over to Tanya who had looked away from her computer and was regarding Wildwing with sympathy. Duke looked back at the leader to see tears brimming in his anguish filled eyes.Wildwing blamed himself.
"I should have been there for him Duke.He's my baby bro.I should have." Wing's voice cracked in despair and he turned away.tears rolling freely down his cheeks. "I.I let him down.".
Duke placed a hand on the white duck's trembling shoulder. "You did all you could Wing, you have not let him down. The kid will be up and about in no time won't he Tanya" Duke looked pleadingly at the technician as she came over and took Wildwing by the elbow.
"Of..Of course he will" Tanya smiled as she lead Wing to a chair next to Dive's bed. "He'll probably wake up soon.Why don't you.er.stay here" She stuttered in a soothing voice (or as soothing as Tanya could manage). The leader nodded as tears silently slid over his face and he took Nosedives hand in his own. Tanya gestured for Duke to follow her as she headed to the other side of the room and checked some more computer read outs as she spoke. "Grin and Mallory are loose Duke.er. will you be ok to go and check it out on your own?" Tanya looked quickly at Wildwing with worry before carrying on. "Its just that.I don't think he's gonna leave Dive and I need to stay and help." Tanya sighed. This was not a good plan but right now they had no choice.
Duke nodded grimly but understood. "Sure thing sweetheart, though I'm not exactly sure how I can stop them but..."
Tanya shook her head. "Just see what's going on.c..co..comm us when you find them and try and keep people out of their way.Its all we can do for now".
Duke smiled. "No problem"
She turned back to the computer. "Take the last Duckcycle, I've.er. linked it up with Drake One so you can track them." Tanya sighed as she turned to Duke. "Good luck Duke, just try not to..er.go and kill yourself".
The older duck turned to head out of the door. "I'll try sweetheart.and good luck yourself" he said as he took one last sad look at the brothers and walked out of the infirmary.
