Megavolt got better as time passed and he didn't talk much to the strange family that took him in. He asked Drake a question from time to time about the time they had spent in school together and Darkwing Duck was never brought up for some reason until…

***

"Did you go to the prom?" Megavolt asked as he looked up at Drake from the couch. Drake was coming down the stairs from Gosalyn's room. It was pretty late and the question caught him off gaurd. He was very tired and knew he wouldn't have any time to sleep before going out to patrol the city. This wasn't a conversation he wanted to have at that moment.

"Um, yes, I did." Drake walked quickly into the kitchen and hoped the talking would end there. He didn't realize Megavolt followed him.

"What about the class reunion?" Megavolt appeared legitimately clueless.

"Yes. I went to that too." Drake moved towards the door but Megavolt stepped in his way. He wasn't very threatening without his battery but Drake knew he was still crazy and may do something stupid. Drake tensed up. He was afraid of what question would come next. He couldn't help but hold his breath.

"Oh do you remember when Darkwing Duck showed up and ruined everything for me?! I can't stand that guy! He isn't even a real superhero."

Darkwing's expression changed from nervous to irritated quickly and then his ego ran away with him. "What?! Darkwing Duck is the most heroically heroic hero ever to herald the streets of this city! He doesn't need superpowers to defeat his enemies!"

"Wow! You sound just like him!" Megavolt's eyes were big, surprised at the response.

Drake jumped up, still furious, and yelled, "I AM HIM!"

As soon as the words came out he regretted it. He was lucky enough that Megavolt couldn't remember the truth that he had already found out and now Drake had blabbed everything. He stood there looking worried once again as Megavolt's look of surprise grew even more.

"Darkwing?! You?" Now he looked as though the gears started turning in his head. "Hey! I remember now…"

"Yeah, you should. But you should also remember you'd be dead now if it wasn't for me!" Drake tried to sound as forceful as he could but the villain in front of him did not look impressed. They both felt threatened now and the conversation escalated quickly.

"Hey! I didn't ask for help, duck!"

"Well that's just too bad, huh, sparky?!"

"OOOOH! Don't call me Sparky! Why'd you help me anyway?!"

"Because I wanted to! Maybe I didn't think you deserved to die like that… You ungrateful …"

The argument was cut short by another loud voice. It was Gosalyn from the staircase. "Maybe you two should just give it a rest! Some people are trying to sleep!" Gosalyn headed back up to her bedroom and slammed the door.

Drake and Megavolt just stood there still staring at the other angrily. Drake felt a little embarrassed now. It was such a stupid thing to argue about. He had done something good and should be proud and Megavolt should be thankful he had come along when he did.

"I guess you are well enough to get back to your life by now and I can get back to foiling all of your fiendish deeds. Let's go get your stuff." Drake walked over to the armchairs and sat down. Megavolt looked confused again. Drake looked impatient. "Hurry up. Let's go! I have a city to protect tonight." Megavolt didn't know what to say but walked over to the other armchair and sat down. He looked over at Drake and opened his mouth but before he could say anything Drake slammed his fist down on the statue of Basil's head and the chairs went into their spin.

When they stopped, Megavolt looked dizzily around Darkwing Tower and remembered being there before. He jumped up and followed Drake who showed him a box with all his clothes and battery. Drake climbed a ladder nearby and a few minutes later returned as the masked mallard, Darkwing Duck. Megavolt was still putting on his belt and battery. Darkwing walked past him and hopped on the Ratcatcher. He started the engine, put his helmet on, and looked over at Megavolt . Megavolt walked over and climbed into the sidecar. The engine roared and the tires screeched as the motorcycle took off up the ramp and out of the tower.

Darkwing slowed the Ratcatcher as they approached the lighthouse, or rather where the lighthouse should have been. Megavolt looked shocked as the motorcycle stopped. He stood up and looked around. His eyes were huge and his mouth hung open.

Darkwing broke the silence. "What happened?" Even as he said it he knew. The lighthouse had been destroyed and it was no doubt the work of Negaduck. Almost sarcastically he turned to Megavolt and said, "I thought you said he was trying to kill you. You said he just got carried away." He didn't expect Megavolt not to answer him. Megavolt looked at him, horrified. He had really believed that. He never thought Negaduck would really betray him like this.

After a moment, Megavolt sat back down in the sidecar and buried his face in his hands, "What am I gonna do now?"
