Ch.7: To Rid of a Nightmare
Ace: Rev, get Duck out of here!
Rev: On it Ace!
The roadrunner runs off with Duck in his arms. Nightshade makes no move to follow and looks at the little army gathered before her.
Nightshade: My job is done here.
She tries to walk away, but is stopped by Tech. His power trapping her in a mangentic feild.
Tech: Don't think we're done with you yet. Who are you working for?
Nightshade: What does it matter? I've done my job, she gives me cash, everything is on Easy Street.
Ace: Who hired you?
Nightshade: Listen I'm just a shape-shifter, a nobody. It's good to have a lot of alsiases when you want to get away from the authorites, but who has to ruin it for you? A big bossy lady which wants you to get rid of someone she knew since The Great War.
The Loonatics were stunned. The Great War had been fought years ago, and if Nightshade was telling the truth, Duck had to be fighting in it, and he made an emeny during the process. Further question revealed few answers and Nightshade was sent to jail while the team went to look at Duck. Tech quickly checked Duck's health.
Tech: His pulse is getting weaker by the second, and he's just barely breathing. We need to help him fast.
Lexi: Couldn't you make it faster, you know, before he...
She couldn't bring herself to say the last word.
Tech: I've been working on a medicine, that should have the same factor as my healing powers.
He uses it on Duck and as quick as a flash Duck's eye's begin to open.
Duck: Uhhhhh...Anyone get the lincense of that bus that ran me over?
Everybody laughed and hugged Duck tight, almost making him suffacate.
Duck: Whoa, What's with the hugs? I haven't been anywhere.
Ace: No but you were fixing to go somewhere if Tech's medince didn't work on ya?
Everyone gave Duck the details and he was surprised he hadn't remembered anything, but Nightshade.
Lexi: Hey Duck, when have you ever battled in The Great War?
Duck's face grew grim.
Duck: Who told you that?
Tech: Nightshade said she was working for an emine of yours from The Great War.
Duck's eye's grew angry and were starting to glow orange, but he quickly calmed down.
Duck: Yeah I fought in that war, but I at the wrong place at the wrong time, like always...
