The five strangely dressed villains all piled out of Quackerjack's ducky mobile and Megavolt's electric car. The four males were delighted that for once they had managed to obey Negaduck's orders without getting hurt or arrested. Megavolt was still coaxing Electra trying to get her to go inside the warehouse, while Quackerjack and Bushroot waited and watched.
As Electra got out of the vehicle she she looked towards the warehouse and got a very uneasy feeling. She didn't know why but there was just something about that place that scared her and she didn't want any part of going in it. "No way. Uh Uh. I'm not going in there" she said to Megavolt as she tried to get back in his electric car.
"Come on you have to go in" said Megavolt. "The boss is in there and if you're going to join us you have to talk to him first."
"I'm not going" said Electra again.
"Well why not? How come?" asked Megavolt. He had already forgot the incident earlier where Negaduck had threatened her with the chainsaw.
"I..Well... That is... I don't know. I'm just not going. Something about this place scares me and I don't know why but I'm just not going in there." said Electra and then she crossed her arms and planted her feet firmly resisting going into the warehouse.
"Guys? A little help here?" said Megavolt.
Quackerjack and Bushroot approached to give Megavolt a hand.
"Aw come on it'll be fun" said Quackerjack.
"I'm not going." said Electra.
"Remember how we discussed how normal people will react to you? And you decided to join us because we won't treat you that way? And how were going to help you and show you the ropes?" asked Bushroot.
"Maybe..." said Electra as she remembered part of the earlier conversation.
"Well what would people do if they saw you spark or do magick?" asked Bushroot again.
"Probably run away" she answered at last.
"OK. So then you're a freak like us" Bushroot said.
"I am NOT a freak!" yelled Sandy.
"Well you said sparking electricity and doing magick were freaky things to do" Bushroot said defensively.
"I did? Oh ya." said Sandy. "I did didn't I?".
"Well then lets say... Suppose we are the only people who aren't afraid of you trying to hurt you ok?" asked Bushroot.
"Um ok" said Sandy.
"Well why not hang out with us then? We'll be your friends and we'll be like a family to you if you join us in Negaduck's gang. And we'll show you the ropes. ok?" asked Bushroot.
"Um I guess. I mean if everyone else is almost always running away of trying to kill me... Why not?" said Sandy.
"Well you have to talk to the boss first before it's official and you can join us ok?" Said Bushroot.
"But I don't like this place it's scary." whined Electra, still not wanting to go in.
"Why is it scary?" asked Bushroot even though he knew full well why it could be scary to her, having been there when she had been threatened by Negaduck with the chainsaw. He asked it anyway though because he knew full well she didn't remember any of it, or at least he hoped she didn't remember.
"I don't know." Said Electra. "But I'm not going and that's final" she said.
"Fine super villain you turned out to be afraid of a little old warehouse" taunted Quackerjack. He knew why she was scared, they all did, but he also knew that if she didn't remember why she was scared they could get her to go in by insinuating she was a coward. At least he hoped it would work.
"I am not afraid of a little old warehouse!" Electra shouted back "I just don't like it that's all" she said.
"Bwak bwak bwak bwak chicken" taunted Quackerjack.
"I'll show you chicken!" said Electra rising to Quackerjack's bait and sparking angrily
"Prove you're not chicken" said Quackerjack.
"Ya prove it" said Megavolt.
"Prove it to us. Prove you're not chicken" said Bushroot, having figured out rather quickly what Quackerjack was doing.
"OK. I will!" said Electra. "Where's the way in?"
"We'll show you" said Bushroot. Then the four of them, Megavolt, Quackerjack, Bushroot and Electra headed to go into the warehouse.
Liquidator had been watching what had been taking place. Then he decided he'd better see if Negaduck was still in the warehouse and give him the heads up on Electra. Liquidator hurried inside. As Liquidator moved swiftly to the offices of the warehouse he rehearsed what he needed to tell the boss before sliding under the door.
Negaduck looked almost pleased as he alternated between several papers on his desk before his usual scowl covered his face and he shoved the papers aside angrily. He muttered to himself "It's no use, that dippy good-doer double of mine is sure to show up. What I need is a way to keep him busy so I can get away with the loot." As he saw Liquidator slip in under the door Negaduck growled menacingly "Don't you know how to knock?"
Liquidator formed himself into his usual dog-like shape and offered in his best sales pitch voice, "Act now and we will include at no extra charge a new recruit. This offer good only in the next few minutes. Act now for best results." and proceeded to inform Negaduck of everything he knew about Electra including the fact she didn't remember what happened at the warehouse earlier and his observations and suspicions about her electrical powers causing electrical interference with electronics.
Glaring at his pitchman he demanded, "Well... I hope you knobs didn't screw up too badly."
Stomping past liquidator, Negaduck started out the door when Liquidator quickly suggested, "Surveys indicate that our viewer's recommend being charming and not hurting or scaring new recruits who don't remember their former customer dissatisfaction in order to make a quick sale."
Negaduck glared warningly at his cohort before nodding decisively, "Just watch yourself there Licky, Dipwing isn't the only one who knows their way around a chemistry set you know." Plastering a reasonably pleasant look on his face, Negaduck adjusted his hat and opened the door just as Bushroot, Quackerjack and Megavolt were ushering in the girl.
Walking out of his office Negaduck saw the ratlike young female that had run off was in fact back and from the looks of her she had the same flamboyant taste in clothes as Megavolt and Quackerjack. Carefully keeping his opinion to himself about her 'fashion' choices he stalked over to his minions and stared at them until they all became uncomfortable.
Quackerjack offered nervously in Mr. Banana Brain's voice, "You're the boss Ross." and shoved Electra forward a little. Megavolt looked more than a little upset and braced her so she wouldn't fall while Bushroot offered to Electra, "He's our leader Negaduck. if you want to stay with us he's the one you need to talk too." as Liquidator slid his way up to the short mallard and said very quietly, "Act now and don't delay. this special offer includes not JUST the chance to explore the unknown. But the opportunity to recruit a new member of our little family. "
Electra couldn't really remember much, but for some reason the short duck made her nervous. Uncomfortably she started to speak but Negaduck interrupted her stepping forward to say, "Licky here tells me you need someone to teach you how things work around here. well, We are JUST what you've been looking for sparkler. he grinned and said charmingly, " We are used to being different and we will show you how to make yourself a success. All you need to do is remember that I'm the boss and do what I say and we'll get along just fine."
Now then, I take care of the members of my gang but I expect something in return...so i think we should have a trial run and let you find out exactly what you can really do. I already planned for my gang to pull off 3 simultaneous robberies and now with you in the gang there are 6 of us to pull this off. 2 for each robbery. This is perfect. Now here's what we are going to do...."
