Remembrance
Chapter 12
The doors of the St. Canard's Hospital's Emergency room busted open. Megavolt, package in hand, ran in. It appeared to be a very busy night, many people flooded the room, and the nursing staff seemed less than egger to help anyone.
Megavolt ran up to the desk, out of breath and exhausted. The nurse gave him the once over, probably wondering about his custom.
"I need a doctor." Megavolt managed to say between breaths.
"Just sit down and catch you're breath, you'll be fine." The nurse said as she cleaned her nails.
"Not for me." Megavolt pulled back the scarf, revealing the little girl, who appeared a blue color. She was still breathing, with was all the nurse seemed to care about.
"May I see some ID sir?"
"What?"
"ID sir. Are you the proper guardian of this girl?"
"No…But we're friends."
The nurse gave a groan. "Sir, can you please contact the guardian or parent?"
"Umm…she's the only one who has the number."
"Has she been emitted here before?"
"I don't know, probably"
"What's her name" The nurse readied the computer to input the data.
"Name…name….Let me try and remember….Gosylan! Yes it's Gosylan."
"Gosylan what sir?"
"Umm….that I don't know."
"Do you have any proof of insurance for this girl?"
"Now why would I need that?"
"Because sir, most people here waiting don't have proof of insurance. We only have one doctor on staff to handle that, so there is a long wait that is determined by severity."
"Which means….?"
"You'll have to wait."
"Well how much would it cost to see a doctor now?"
"It would depend on her condition. I would estimate around $1300.00"
Megavolt gasped, "And people call me a criminal?"
"Sir please fill out this paper work as best you can, and have a seat." The nurse handed a stack of papers to Megs. He sat down, annoyed.
"OH! This isn't helping." Megavolt started on the paperwork, still holding Gosylan, hoping she could some warmth from him. She began to cough.
Megavolt looked down to see her clinging to him. She started to speak. "Dad?….Where'd you hide them this year? I'll find my Christmas presents, you wait and see…."
"OH COME ON! What am I supposed to do? I'm just a super villain…" Then it hit him. "I'm a super villain!" A grin came across his face. He set Gosylan in the chair, carefully wrapping her tight in the scarf and approached the nurse's desk again.
"Excuse me…"
"Sir, are you done with you're paper work?"
"I don't think I'll need any paper work. Was that a First National Back I saw coming up here."
"Yeah?" She said in a confused voice. "Next door."
"I'm going to go make a withdrawal to cover her extensive hospital bill, please prepare a room." And with Megavolt strolled out, confidant.

"He's not here" Steelbeak said in anger. About a dozen Eggmen searched the old lighthouse. Tearing and banging just about everything they saw fit. So many light bulbs died that day.
"When I get my hands on that lying two-bit clown…." Steelbeak exclaimed but was stopped when he heard a noise. Something he had stepped on, a wrinkled newspaper. "What's this?" He picked it up and read the headline….
"Are you kidding me?" He started laughing. The eggman stopped what they were doing, and pondered what was wrong with their commanding officer. Some of them even started laughing to, just because Steelbeak was.
"All this time…." He laughed some more. "Oh Elmo, things are about to get a bit more interesting."
----------
For the second time in one night, Megavolt burst through the hospital's ER doors, only this time instead of carrying a little girl, he was carrying a sack full of money. He ran up to the nurses station, out of breath and poured the money on the desk.
"That better be enough!' He said panting.
She had a confused look on her face, but shrugged it off. She then began counting the money. Megavolt looked around, Gosylan was no where to be found.
"Where is she?"
"She was moved into a room. Her condition worsened and she needed to be warmed up."
"Will she be ok?"
"That little sport? She's a fighter, and she's not done fighting."
Megavolt felt good about that. This feeling of doing good things was strange to him, yet familiar. He liked it.
"Can I see her?"
"Room 226"
Megavolt opened the door slowly. The lights were on, but Gosylan was asleep. She was hooked up to an IV, probably just fluids, and she was breathing normally. Megavolt sighed, he had saved her. Now Darkwing would have to hear him out. He needed to save his friends.
-------------
Morgana stood alone on the abandon street, pacing. "What am I going to do? My boyfriend's oldest arch enemy turns out to be his missing best friend, and if I tell him, it will crush him. He won't trust me ever again. His daughter is missing. Megavolt is still on the loose. Negaduck is back and knows who Dark is. And now I have a 2 ton super hero with amnesia lost in the city looking for his mother….
"Ok Morgana you can do this. If you can get through High School, you can handle this….There has to be a reverse spell. I should call the rest of the Justice Ducks. I just hope Fenton will be alright by himself."
------------
Steelbeak walked outside, newspaper crumpled in hand. "Oh I can't believe my luck. I must have been a very good Super Spy to get this."
An eggman asked with a confused expression, "What's that Steelbeak?"
His first response was his fist, then his second, "It turns out that old Megsy is a dear old friend of mine from Middle School. I always wonder what happened to him. Who would have thought he'd become a Super Villain, I'm sure not old Drakey." He laughed at that.
The injured eggman dared to ask another question. "Who's Drake?"
Again a fist and again a brilliant monologue, "Drake is a dead duck, as soon as I find him. It will nice to deal with them both again. Elmo and Drake, sitting in a tree, soon to be lit on fire by me." He said with the most evil of voice he could muster. "I just needs to find the both of them. Megavolt will be easy enough; he'll come back here and regroup, possibly with The Liquidator. Our network says that drip bucket is back in town. Once I have old Rats, the city will be mine, along with all of Duckberg for that matter. Now the hard part will be Drake, I lost track of him after he graduated High School. He traveled around to much and a lot of files were classified by SHUSH. All I could ever find is that he still lived in the city. I wonder what he's been up to all these years. I wonder where he is, who he's with. Does he have a family now? If so that will be all the sweeter."
Steelbeak was talking to himself at the point. The eggman decided to keep their distance so not to get hurt. It was then they heard a load crash.
Something large had fallen into a nearby dumpster. Steelbeak and the eggman ran up, guns in hand. And head popped out…"M'Ma, where are you M'ma?"
"It's Gizmojerk! Shot to kill" Steelbeak yelled, and everyone opened fire.
The bullets bounced off of Giz like nothing. He got up and brushed himself off. "Excuse me, but do you know where Duckberg is?"
"Hold your fire!" Steelbeak walked up to him. "You mean you don't?"
"Well….no actually….I need to find M'Ma and I'm told she's in Duckberg."
"You're from Duckberg, and you don't know the way? And who told you that."
"This woman with a red dress, she was very pretty."
"Morgana? This twit doesn't even know who Morgana is? Do you know who Darkwing is?'
"Umm….who?"
Steelbeak smiled. "Do you know who you are?"
Gizmoduck looked down, "No…I can't remember."
"OH THIS IS TOO GOOD! I must have been very good to someone for this to happen. I'll get to destroy two cities, get revenge on those two twerps, crush the Fearsome Five, and I get my own new toy too"
"So do you know where Duckberg is or not?"
"Oh, my friend I do, and I know where M'Ma is too."
"You do?"
"Yes, in fact I'll bring you to her, but first I need you to do a favor for me."
"What's that?"
"Somewhere in this city, there is a bad duck, who hurt me a long time ago. You see, he blew off my face when we were only kids, and all I asked to do was to play with him"
"That's horrible"
"I know, I need you to find him for me."
"Alright….What's his name?"
"Drake Mallard"
"That sounds familiar to."
"Listen I don't care if you have to knock down every door in St. Canard. I want his feathers."
"Every door?"
"Every door!"
Author's Note: Looks like Fenton's fear of his power getting into the hands of someone else has happened, and now Steelbeak knows the truth about Elmo….Dun Dun Dunnnnnnn….(Dramatic pause). Sorry this took longer than usual, it took me a while to figure out some order of events. I know you all are missing Negster, I sure am, he'll return soon I promise. Another cameo is coming up too; don't know if she'll make it into the next chapter or not though. To any reader who is or knows ER nurses, sorry mine wasn't a saint, I just had to write something similar to bad experience I recently had with my roommate giving birth and not having any insurance. I do not mean to disrespect you or your profession. XD
