Chapter 2.


Duke stumbled into the mess hall (kitchen) and was assaulted from all angles by the aroma of coffee, eggs, bacon, sausage and toast which Mallory set down in his place. He gave her a nod of thanks and instantly plopped down in the chair which groaned under him.

"Duke!" Mallory snapped at him while he stuffed his beak full of scrabbled eggs. "You are going to break that chair one of these days and then what are you going to do, huh?"

Duke swallowed down his eggs, "Buy a new one." He stated simply. Most of the time he was cool and diviner, but not today. Today, he didn't feel like giving Mallory a witty remark or being cool or anything.

Mallory knew him too well after living with him for over a year. She cocked her head and eyed him a bit worriedly. "Hey, you okay?" She asked.

"No." He stated truthfully and flatly. He looked rather sad as he pushed his eggs around on his plate absentmindedly.

"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked, concern obvious in her voice. Duke shook his head and kept pushing his eggs around.

Voices came from the hall.

"Man am I starved!" Nosedive said as he entered the mess hall and grinned at Mallory.

"Here you go Nosedive." Mallory said, placing a steaming plate in front of him. "Hey, Wing, what do you want to drink? I know you don't drink coffee. Juice or Milk?"

"Milk." Wildwing stated, eyeing Duke which the ex-thief noticed much to his discomfort. "You all right, Duke?"

"Yeah! I'm fine. You know...I'm not really hungry, here kid," he pushed his plate over to Nosedive who was scraping his plate clean, "have the rest. I'm going out." He stood and left the mess hall.

"What's wrong with The Dukester?" Nosedive asked watching him leave. The other two ducks just shrugged equally as puzzled about Duke's odd behavior.

To Sailor Vegeta: Cool! Thanks for the awesome review! As this chapter points out, it is Duke who I was talking about.


To All the People Who are Reading this Fic, but not reviewing (Hey! I do it too!): I felt a little suspense was all the fic needed for the first chapter. I figured Duke would have been the obvious choice followed by Grin, since the clues were he was wanted by Canard (so that rules Canard out as also Dive, since Canard really didn't want him along.), but he came before Wildwing. That rules Wing out as well as Dive again, since Dive wasn't part of The Resistance until after Canard found them both. Eh...I figured that only gave you two ducks to choose from, but of course I'm unsure if Grin would have a wife or any other kind of romantic relationship. Also, since Thea is a girl God Forbid I do a femslash!! My regular slash ideas have never been posted, due to the fact they just don't make any since. The fact that I'm doing romance kinda creeps me out in the first place. I've never really done a romance fic, but I figured if I did one that it'd be a Mighty Ducks fic instead of the usual Harry Potter or Gargoyles ones I do. They're more action oriented. Well, hope everyone enjoys this chapter whether you review or not.
