Chapter 9

"Bonnie?" ThinkTank repeated.

Mage turned around and made eye contact with Beau, his eyes sad and sympathetic.

"Is she all right?" he asked.

Lady Lightning rolled her eyes, but ThinkTank grabbed her arm sharply, before she could protest verbally.

"What about Bonnie? And what does she have do with my mother?"

Beau placed his shaking arm around Shannon's shoulder.

"Is there a place we can talk alone?" he directed the question to the present day Quiverwing.

She nodded pointing to a nearby hall way.

Demigoddess watched them leave. She would be jealous of her cousin leaving with her crush if she didn't have this sinking feeling that something awful was about to happen.

Once alone, Beau took a deep breath, "I may as well spit this out before I lose my nerve and give us both anxiety attacks."

"Yes, please," Shannon agreed.

"I'm your brother."

"What?" Beau what are you talking about."

"If my theory is correct...Bonnie and I are your mother's children. Maybe I should talk to Dewey about this..."

Shannon gave Beau a deep look of desperation.

"How would that be possible? How old are you? My mom would have to be pregnant..."

"Now."

"Bonnie said she was."

Shannon looked toward the direction of the door.

"Dad..." she called in a whisper.

Beau walked closer to Shannon.

"I know this is a little of a shock."

"A little of a shock?" Shannon said. "Are you kidding?"

Shannon bit her bill and walked backwards and attempted to find solace into a corner. She stared at Beau with wide eyes.

"Bonnie visited her at the jail. She was quite pregnant. Maybe even twins. I thought I was part of a set of triplets, but I think...that I was twins. And that my mother is really my grandmother."

"Major Mind!" she muttered again, she tried to shout, but she found that her words were paralyzed in her throat.

The door opened and Shannon thought, her future father might have heard her mute cries for help but instead she saw Mage, who did not look happy nor did he waste any time to glare at Beau disapprovingly.

"What do you think you are doing?" he demanded.

"Were you eavesdropping? I put two and two together and I have a mother. Who isn't a crazy artist. Who knows, perhaps my father isn't a murderous lunatic as well. I'm going to see my mother," Beau informed him.

Major Mind followed.

"Shannon?" he said. "Did you call me?"

Shannon nodded and she retreated to her future father's side and wrapped an arm around him.

Major Mind held her close. "What's going on?"

"Just listen," she whispered.

Mage rolled his eyes. He did not even realize they had a new audience. "Yes Beau. And you will. Once we get home, we will tell Mrs. Duck that truth, and your mother will be ecstatic to see you on Christmas."

"Mrs. Duck?" Major Mind asked.

"She will be even more ecstatic if she had all four of her children at the dinner table. And with them all whole and away from Negaduck," Beau retorted.

Mage tried to be sympathetic "And I believe one day she will. Bonnie is turning around. She helped us on the case."

"But she isn't whole. And she will never will be again. But if I make sure Splatter and Negaduck never get their hands on us Bonnie would have to never live with any of the pain she must live with now. Both of us would have a safe childhood with love."

"You don't know it would be safe," Mage stated, getting impatient. "What I do know is that if you interfere now you might greatly change future events."

"You didn't care about future events when we started this mission, Mage."

"That was different. We had to do this Beau; we did it to save Lisa's life."

"Your sister's life!" Beau shouted.

By now, the commotion caused the rest of the Fury and new generation to come into the room.

"Your what?" Quiverwing shouted.

Mage started to say something but Beau stopped him.

"No Ronnie," Beau boldly called, "You are going to listen. Bonnie is my sister, and I can't pass up the chance save her too."

"Lisa was going to die," Mage argued.

"And don't you dare try to tell me Bonnie isn't. It might not be an alien toxin, but all the same, it's a poison. A slow poison that has been draining the life out of her for years… Each time I look at her, she's less and less the little girl I grew up with. Less the soul I shared my mother's womb with. She's been dying since the day she was born. And so have I. And if there is a way to stop our death, I will be darned if I don't try."

Mage's face fell at the realization of the truth in his best friend's words, but he still was not comforted.

"I understand your plight my friend, but what are you going to do? How are you going to stop your grandmother from taking you and Bonnie? Your mother's in jail. She's unmarried, and your father doesn't even know that you and your sister even exist."

"Ashley?!" Major Mind shouted.

"I plan to change that," Beau whispered under his breath

He turned around and saw Major Mind was staring at him. The rest of the gang a few feet behind.

Beau turned to Mage, "Looks like he knows now."

He turned to Major Mind. "Do you want to come with me?"

"Definitely..." Major Mind informed, and before saying anything else, the two left the room.

"Ronald Moloculo Mallard!" a new voice shouted. "Is that truly you?"

To Be Continued

Author Note: Yes, I'm alive. And not only that, I was able to get pulled away from Heroes a bit to finish this chapter for you, my loyal fans. Hopefully, if you are still here, this isn't too sub-par. I know it been (cough) almost 10 months (cough). Bad Me. Well, now that the cat is finally out of the bag I can at least, write a few more chapters to finish this story. Forgive me? Heroes was not the only reason this story has suffered. And I am not going to get into all the reasons, but I actually do know how I want this story to end, but the middle has been the pain! LOL Thanks for reading!
