Author's Note: Another update involving Marvel's most famous duck in the world of Ducktales. Enjoy the chapter. Any and all comments are welcome.
"So… what are we doing here?" Howard asked standing in front of an electronics store with Huey and Webby. "So far, all I'm seeing here is a bunch of TVs about some guys selling ottomans."
"Easy there, Howard." Huey said. "You may have seen plenty of advanced technology from other planets, but you haven't seen anything like Earth science. This store has some parts that my friend, Fenton, needs for his latest project, one that could be a great scientific breakthrough."
"And I'm helping!" Webby shouted.
"Well, if that's the case, where is this Fenton?" Howard asked.
"Oh. He's… very busy. Working on… robotics." Huey answered nervously causing Howard to raise an eyebrow.
Suddenly, the trio heard something fly overhead. A duck wearing large, mechanical armor flew by and crossed the corner into an alleyway. A scuffle was heard afterwards until another man walked out of the alley in a shirt and tie.
"Sorry I'm late." he said.
"Fenton!" Huey greeted. "There you are! You just missed a Gizmoduck fly-by."
"You mean that guy in the armor?" Howard asked. "He's obviously the same guy."
Webby gasped. "You're Gizmoduck!"
"Huey!" Fenton yelled.
"I didn't say anything!" Huey said defensively.
"Hi! I'm Webby! Nice to see you! Does your suit have a toilet?!"
Fenton sighed before pulling out a pen and notebook. He then turned to Howard. "And you are…"
"Oh. I'm Howard."
"Thank you." Fenton proceeded to write Webby and Howard's names on a list labeled "People who know I'm Gizmoduck". Other names on that list include Gyro, Launchpad, Dewey, Huey, Beaks, Scrooge, the mailman, the drycleaner, the barista at Starducks, and "everyone who lives on my block".
"What's the big deal?" Howard asked. "So you fly around in a mechanical suit of armor. So what?"
"'So what'?" Fenton asked. "What, are you from another planet?"
Howard's eyes widened and he chuckled. "Whaaaaaat? Me? You're so…" He cleared his throat before he could say anything else.
"Look, as far as I'm aware, I'm the only person in the world with a mechanical suit of armor capable of protecting Duckburg." Fenton explained. "I've got a bunch of enemies, and they'll be gunning after me if they know who I really am, and I'm already burned out as it is. I've already got one rich jerk who knows who I am. The last thing is another."
"You mean Scrooge?" Howard asked.
"No. He said rich jerk." Webby said.
"He's talking about Mark Beaks." Huey said. He pointed at a billboard of a company called Waddle, which also had the giant head of a grey parrot man. "He's the CEO of Waddle, and he's obsessed with being more popular than Gizmoduck. Last time they clashed, Beaks nearly destroyed the city."
"Whoa." Howard said fixing his eyes on the billboard and Mark Beaks' head painted on it. "That's a big head."
"Yeah. A big billboard too." Huey said.
"No matter." Fenton said about to enter the electronics store. "Heroine is well and good, but today is about science. About Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera peeling back the veil of the unknown to make a discovery so revolutionary, that I'll be remembered as more than just…"
Before he can finish his sentence, he walked in and was cut off by all the TVs in the store with different news broadcasts, but all talking about the same person: Gizmoduck. Fenton frowned at that.
"Gizmoduck." Howard said. "You were gonna say 'Gizmoduck', weren't you? Sorta obvious, but… I'll just stop talking."
"Poor Fenton's worn out from saving the day every day." Huey said.
"The tragic hero that cares for everyone but himself." Webby added in.
Fenton turned away from the news shows and tried calling out to a passing employee. "Excuse me. I'm looking for your latest birefringent beam splitters." The employee didn't hear him.
"Birefringent beam splitters?" Howard asked. "What do you need those for?"
"It's for my latest experiment for Dr. Gearloose. I'm trying to figure out the formula, but I can't get any further without those beam splitters."
"Beam splitters, huh?" asked a woman who was overhearing. "Cubic or dichroic mirror?"
Fenton turned to see a woman with black hair, tan feathers, and a short, orange beak. She wore punk rock clothes.
"You know about dichroic mirror splitters?" Fenton asked.
"Yes, because I'm a scientist." The girl reached into her cart and picked out a small piece of tech which she passed to Fenton. "High energy physics can be challenging for a rookie."
"Oh, I'm no rookie. I'm a scientist for McDuck Enterprises, actually."
"Ohh, sell-out science. Pushing pencils. Wearing a suit. Brainstorming that next Gizmoduck. Like we need more of that show off."
"Wait. What is it you do?" Fenton asked.
"Shatter expectations. I have no rules, no limits. I don't kiss up to zillionaires. I work for myself."
"Actually, I'm working on my own project that's pretty neat." Fenton said. "I haven't quite cracked the equation, but it's still very dangerous. The most dangerous kind of neat."
The girl gave a cocky smug. "All right, Suit. You're doing hard science? Show me your lab."
"Uh, yes." Fenton said with a nervous sweat. "My lab… that is mine. I'll pick you up at seven for some severe science-ing."
All the while, Howard, Webby, and Huey watched Fenton's conversation with the girl.
"Are they… fighting?" Webby asked.
"No, Webby. Clearly, this is just a classic courting thing." Howard said with a chuckle and a smile. "They're both impressed by each other, but they're trying to make themselves look more impressive to… impress the people they're trying to… impress… I said 'impress' too many times."
"What Howard means to say, Webby," Huey said, "Is that this is the standard romantic courting of adults, commonly known as a 'meet cute'.
"Are you sure?" Webby asked. "Fenton looks awfully sweaty."
"Clearly, he's never had a girlfriend before." Howard said. "Stop the presses."
"The only thing we haven't seen is the awkward-yet-adorable accident." Huey said.
Just then, when the girl offered to give Fenton her number, he accidentally knocked over a stand of batteries.
"Love is in the air!" Huey declared.
The girl took Fenton's phone and inserted her phone number in it before giving it back to him. "It's Gandra. Gandra Dee."
"All right, everyone." Huey said turning to Howard and Webby. "We've got a lot of work to do here."
"What work?" Howard asked.
"Duh! We gotta prepare Fenton and Gandra for their date." Huey explained. "Webby and I will help Fenton dress to impress. Howard, you go ahead to his lab and set up their romantic atmosphere. I'm thinking something Italian should do the trick."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Howard interjected. "Last I checked, I'm no matchmaker. I barely even know the guy. Why should I set those two up?"
"What about for the sake of romance?" Huey asked with pleading eyes. Howard stared with a severe lack of interest. "All right, fine. How's about pizza?"
"Pizza?" Howard asked. "You know, Della always talked about it, but I've never had the chance to taste it."
"Seriously?" Webby asked. "If you haven't had, you haven't lived! You help us with Fenton, and we'll get you all the greatest experiences for fun at Funzo's Funzone!"
Howard thought for a moment. "You know what? What the heck? This sounds like it could backfire horribly and I want to be there when it does."
"Love the enthusiasm even though the motive is all wrong." Huey said. "Me and Webby will go and help Fenton. You go on ahead and set everything up. Here, use this." Huey tossed a small, red book to Howard.
"What's this?"
"The Junior Woodchuck Guidebook. Turn to page 235. That's the romance section. That's where you'll find everything you need on how to set up for their date."
"Oh, and one more thing." Webby said. "You'll have to find a way to deal with Gyro and make sure he doesn't interfere. K. Thanks! Bye!"
With that, Huey and Webby ran over and left the store with Fenton. Howard was left alone and opened the book he has been given.
"Page 235, and we're not even halfway through the book?" Howard asked. "Is this a guidebook or an unabridged version of the history of the universe?"
Following the instructions in Huey's guidebook, Howard set up the underwater lab underneath McDuck Enterprises. Now, it was decorated with an Italian theme. Shortly after he was done, Huey and Webby entered the lab.
"Whoa. This place looks great." Webby commented.
"You followed the instructions in the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook exactly." Huey said impressed.
"Well, I like to be thorough." Howard said. "And as rule #10 says, don't cut corners." Everyone stared at him. "I decided to do some light reading waiting for you two. So sue me." He proceeded to hand the guidebook back to Huey.
"So what'd you do with Dr. Gearloose?" Huey asked.
"The rude guy with the glasses?" Howard asked. "I knocked him out and tossed him in the closet."
"WHOEVER DID THIS, I'LL SEND YOU TO OUTER SPACE!" Dr. Gearloose yelled from the closet.
"Been there." Howard said rolling his eyes.
"What about Manny and Little Bulb?" Webby asked.
"Those two. Apparently, they liked how I locked up their boss so much, they decided to help me with this setup." Howard said. "The doc's not their favorite person apparently."
"I believe that." Huey said. "Well, let's get started."
A short while later, Fenton and Gandra finally made it to the lab. They were most surprised to see the romantic table set up and the lights hanging overhead.
"Benvenuti. Welcome to Giroscopio's." Huey said in an Italian accent. "A place for romance. Prego, prego, prego! Please, follow me."
The Little Bulb acted as a light underneath a lamp cover in the middle of the table that Fenton and Gandra both sat at.
"This is your lab?" Gandra asked. "How do you get anything done with all this moody Italian décor?"
Fenton laughed nervously. "Yeah, this is not…"
"Bonjourno." Webby greeted in an Italian accent. Howard stood behind her. "Can I a-tell you about tonight's a-special? It's spaghetti!"
"Might as well order it. It's all we made." Howard said. "Sorry, but I have no practice with their accents."
"Sorry about this, Gandra." Fenton said getting out of his seat. "Will you excuse me a second?" He grabbed Webby and Howard and dragged them aside with him until they grouped up with Huey.
"Sheesh. You help a guy out, and in return, you get your shirt sleeve ruffled." Howard said. "Some gratitude."
"Gratitude? For what?" Fenton asked loudly. "This is a disaster! She's not into romantic accoutrement! She's into science!"
"Don't blame me." Howard said. "I was just following Huey's instructions."
"According to the JWG, mood is essential." Huey said reading from his guidebook. "Without it, how will you two develop chemistry?"
"With actual chemistry!" Fenton yelled before grabbing the decorated streamers and lights. He pulled them down and moved onto a pot of spaghetti. "Is this spaghetti tied together?"
"You're supposed to eat it, then eat in the middle for a kiss." Huey said.
"I think I saw a movie that has that." Howard said. "But it involved dogs."
"At the end of the night, we hand out souvenir photos." Huey explained.
Fenton rolled his eyes. "Just science and me and her… and the moonlight."
Howard raised his eyebrow. "You really like this girl, don't you?"
"I mean, she does have this attractive lure for someone like me." Fenton admitted. "I've never met a girl like her. I just… I want everything to go well."
Fenton broke off from the group to return to Gandra.
"Look, Huey, I'm all for seeing how this plays out," Howard said, "But don't you think you're kinda pushing this a bit much?"
"Not possible." Huey said. "Fenton's a friend of mine, and I want his love life to be perfect."
"It seems to me that he doesn't really need our help." Howard said just as he saw Fenton take Gandra up to the equipment table. "Just look. Like he said, all he needs is science, and it looks like she's really into it. Maybe it wouldn't hurt his chances if we ease up a bit."
Huey thought for a minute. "Can we at least keep the spaghetti kiss trick?"
"Well, it wouldn't hurt." Howard said.
As the night went by, Fenton started showing Gandra some of his inventions, including a spray which makes any food taste like glazed donuts, a solvent which eats through anything other than strong diamonds, and his own invention, Fentonium, a synthetic crystal which generates its own reusable energy (once Fenton works out the equation).
In exchange, Gandra showed Fenton some of her inventions, such as lenses which turns eyes into wireless cameras, and nanites inside her own body which creates external power. As the ideas were exchanged one by one, Gandra found herself becoming fonder of Fenton.
The two eventually returned to the table where Manny the Headless Manhorse began playing on an accordion. At the same time, Howard brought a tray of spaghetti to them. That's when he heard a feint vibration noise coming from Gandra's pocket. He looked and saw her phone sticking halfway out. His eyes then widened when he saw the name "Mark Beaks" displayed on her voicemail.
Without anyone knowing, he pickpocketed Gandra's phone and pressed play on one of the many voicemails that were from Mark Beaks. That's when he learned the truth, making him gasp silently. He then rushed toward Huey and Webby pulling them away from the dinner area.
"What's going on?" Webby asked.
"So, you remember how you told me about that Beaks guy who's out for Gizmoduck?" Howard asked. "Well, I just found out that Gandra is working for him. This whole date isn't about liking Fenton. She's just using him to get a passcode from him."
"WHAT?!" both Webby and Huey gasped.
"There's nothing in the romance chapter about spies in the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook!" Huey said. "This is gonna shatter Fenton's self-esteem!"
"Also… he could be CAPTURED BY SPIES!" Webby yelled out.
"TWO BAD THINGS COULD HAPPEN!" Huey yelled before running over to Fenton. He casually led him away from the table and back over to Webby and Howard.
"Guys, it's going really well!" Fenton said happily. "Gandra's brilliant and charming and a little critical just like my mother and Gyro and pretty much everyone else in my life. Most of all, Gandra doesn't care about Gizmoduck. She likes me ...And you guys are just staring. Why are you staring?"
"Oh, boy." Howard said nervously. "You're not gonna like this, Fenton."
One explanation later, and Fenton returned to the dinner table staring with disappointment at Gandra. He dismissed Manny and Little Bulb for some one-on-one time with the woman who betrayed him.
"You know, I wasn't so sure about you," Gandra admitted, "But I like this."
"You sure you wouldn't like anything else?" Fenton asked with gritted teeth. "I spy the server right there! I can waddle over and get his attention!"
Gandra suddenly fell nervous. She knew she was caught, but she tried to play it off. "Oh, uh… No, no, no, no, no. Uh, but hey, what about a second date? We could do a picnic or get some fresh air. Go fly a… Oh, what are those things called? The toy that Ben Frankloon tied to a key?"
Fenton slammed his hands on the table. "I know what you're here for! Gizmoduck! Just like everyone else! There's a feeling man with feelings under that synthetic alloy shell!"
"Whaaaaaat? You're Gizmoduck?" Gandra asked in fake surprise.
"You know who I am! Who doesn't?" Fenton yelled. "Blathering blatherskite!"
Those were Fenton's key words to activate the Gizmoduck armor. As soon as he said it, parts of his suit assembled around him until he confronted Gandra in his superhero form.
"Is THIS what you want?!"
Suddenly, a metal clanging sound was heard. Everyone turned to see the parrot man from the billboard, Mark Beaks, drop down from the vents and landing in a pose.
"That's exactly what I want."
"I take it that's Mark Beaks?" Howard asked.
"Oh, yeah." Huey answered.
"Wow. I already don't like the guy."
"Oh, I don't need you to like me." Mark Beaks said. Gizmoduck may have the suit, but I have something better. A full-body upgrade!" He pulled out a vial of blue liquid which he spilled down his throat. "That's right. I drank Dee's nanite serum and linked it up with stolen Gizmotech. I just needed your passcode to boot it up."
Mark Beaks held out his phone and played a recording of Fenton saying the two words that activated his Gizmoduck armor: "Blathering blatherskite". That's when he began to change.
Beaks felt an intense strain inside of his body making him groan out in pain and disgust. "Oh, this feels gross! Ugh! This is normal, right? Right?"
"Did you drink more than one of the serum vial?" Gandra asked.
"Yes! I told you, I was bored!"
Suddenly, the sound of bones crunching was heard. He spasmed around as each of his legs grew bigger than his entire body. The Headless Manhorse tried to subdue him, but his arm grew to immense size and easily knocked him away. The rest of his body changed too tearing his shirt off and changing his torso into a full-body region of gigantic pecs and a six pack abdomen.
"Bigger than Gizmoduck!" he roared in a monstrous tone. "It's… MEGA-BEAKS! Oh, and you're all incredibly dead!"
"Yeesh." Howard said in a frightened tone. "Some days, it just doesn't pay to get out of bed."
"All right." Mega-Beaks said flexing his monster-sized biceps. "Which huge muscle should I use to destroy what first?"
"How about… neither?" Howard suggested. "I mean, you got what you wanted. Great muscle show. But how about you take your leave before…"
Mega-Beaks stopped Howard by grabbing his whole body and holding him up with one hand.
"How's this for a muscle show?" he asked before throwing Howard to the Italian table.
"I wanna go home." Howard groaned.
"Beaks!" Gizmoduck called out. "You've always been a monster, but now, you're a literal monster!"
He rolled over to land the first punch, but Mega-Beaks effortlessly stopped him and threw him aside. He recovered and swung a hammer at Mega-Beaks, but he caught it between his muscles and he flexed them until it broke into pieces. Gizmoduck then fired an airhorn at Mega-Beaks before launching a barrage of pies thrown at him. Mega-Beaks managed to open his mouth and swallow the last of the pies down his throat.
"Wait, did I just eat the pie tins?" Mega-Beaks asked.
Mega-Beaks continued the fight by throwing Gizmoduck around the lab. Once he had him grounded, Mega-Beaks threw punches at him. Gizmoduck managed to escape by grabbing his glazed donut spray can and spray into his face.
"Yuck! Glazed donut!" Mega-Beaks groaned in disgust. He then grabbed the jar of super acidic solvent and threw it to the ceiling causing it to burn through the support system.
By that time, Howard recovered and grabbed both Huey and Webby pulling them both away from the falling debris. He pulled them behind the flipped-over table.
"This date is a disaster!" Huey panicked. "Fenton's gonna be crushed!"
"Both literally and figuratively!" Howard yelled again seeing Mega-Beaks fall on Gizmoduck again.
Mega-Beaks grabbed Gizmoduck's visor and crushed it in his hands. Webby made a save by pulling out her camera and blinding Mega-Beaks with bright camera flashes allowing Fenton to fly out from under his mutated enemy. Once he was free, Fenton set up a rocket ready to be shot from his chest armor. He was ready to launch it until…
BZZZZT!
Gandra caught Gizmoduck by surprise by electrocuting his suit with her nanite-infused hands and short-circuiting his armor. He then fell in front of her.
"I'm sorry, Suit." Gandra said.
Mega-Beaks turned to where Howard, Huey, and Webby were hiding and approached them. Howard jumped in between and tried to shield them.
"Hey! Don't you dare…"
Mega-Beaks swatted Howard away and grabbed both of the kids in one of his hands.
"I've got your kids… Maybe. I'm not sure how this family works. But don't even think about following me."
On that note, Mega-Beaks busted through the window leading out into the Duckburg bay. Water poured in, but the window was sealed off before the room could be flooded.
"Ugh! That idiot!" Gandra groaned.
"He's the idiot?!" Howard asked angrily. "You just broke the only weapon that can stop him!"
"And you call me a suit!" Fenton scolded.
"I work for myself!" Gandra argued. "I just used Beaks for funding and resources!"
"For what? Was any of this real?" Fenton asked. "What are you?"
"A scientist! Free of responsibility!"
"Well, I hope it was worth it!" Howard shouted. "Fenton opened up to you and let you into his place, and all you did was lie and use him for your own ends and…" He stopped himself when he instantly reminded himself of what he's been doing since he showed up on Earth. "Wow."
"What?" Gandra asked.
"Nothing." Howard said with a low tone.
Gandra groaned and stomped her way to the elevator. It opened but before she entered, she gave one last look at Fenton looked apologetic.
"And look, for what it's worth… you're a good scientist."
"And you're a crook." Fenton shot back.
"Wait for me!" Howard yelled running into the elevator. He managed to get in with Gandra just before the door closed.
"What are you doing?" Gandra asked.
"The kids are in trouble, and I gotta go help them." Howard said. "Also… I just want to say… I think you really are sorry for what you did."
"What?" Gandra asked. "What on Earth gave you that idea?"
"Let's just say, your situation is similar to something happening to my right now." Howard said. "But you know that Fenton liked you. And, maybe somewhere along the way, you started to like him back?"
Gandra thought for a moment before scoffing. "What difference does it make? I already did my job for Beaks, even though kidnapping kids and hurting people wasn't part of the deal. And now, Fenton knows what I did. How can I possibly make this right?"
"Well… Beaks said he's using your nanites, right?" Howard asked. "If they're your invention, maybe you can help find a weakness."
Gandra took a moment to think.
After jumping out of the harbor, Mega-Beaks climbed up Waddle Tower with Huey and Webby in his hands. He smiled as he reached the big W on the tower wall surrounded by news copters.
"How is this a part of your plan?" Webby asked the monster.
"I wanted to up my visibility." Mega-Beaks answered. "You don't get more visible than being a giant monster!"
"You ruined Fenton's date!" Huey yelled out. "Where's your heart, man?"
"In here somewhere," Mega-Beaks answered, "Under all these righteous pecs! OW!"
Something hit Mega-Beaks in the side of his head. He turned and got hit again. He finally saw that it was the Fentonium orb, which was swatted at him by Fenton.
"Call me… Fenton!"
After another hit with the Fentonium ball, Mega-Beaks left the kids in the W sign and dropped down and landed both his feet to the ground in front of Fenton. The hero swatted his ball back at him, but Mega-Beaks caught it easily.
"Wow. I never actually caught a ball before." Mega-Beaks said. "Well, who's the loser now, Coach Dad?!"
BZZZT!
Gandra caught Mega-Beaks by surprise by electrocuting him from the back the same way she electrocuted Fenton. Howard watched from behind.
"I'd say you're still the loser!" Howard yelled. "You two take care of Beaks! I'm going to save the kids!" He turned to run into Waddle Tower.
"What are you doing, Agent Dee?!" Mega-Beaks asked fighting through the electrocution.
"Hurting puny, helpless heroes was not part of our deal, Beaks!" Gandra answered.
"Gonna focus on the hero part." Fenton said.
Through sheer force of will, Mega-Beaks fought back against the electrocution and pushed Gandra away from him. She was knocked all the way to Fenton, who saved her and lead her to cover.
"Are you okay?" Fenton asked.
Gandra looked at her hand and saw the small sparks of electricity flickering in her hand. "I… I can't shock him anymore. His nanite-enhanced skin is too tough."
"Yeah, but what matters is inside." Fenton said. "Under all that, he's still the same weak, ego-fueled dweeb."
"Ugh, heroes." Gandra scoffed. "Always with the morals."
"No, I mean inside, he's weak." Fenton clarified his idea. He then jumped out of his hiding place holding out his phone for Mega-Beaks. "You can stop, Beaks! Look! You're trending worldwide!"
Mega-Beaks smiled excitedly. "I wanna see! I wanna see!"
Fenton threw the phone to him, but when he tried to scroll down on the phone's screen, it broke in his fingers. He gasped upon realizing a harsh truth.
"I can't use a phone. I CAN'T USE A PHONE! NOOOOOOO!"
With Mega-Beaks yelling out in frustration, Denton and Gandra took their advantage. Fenton picked up his Fentonium ball and threw it to Gandra, who charged it up with the remaining electricity in her hand. She then threw it upwards allowing Fenton to strike it with a paddle and send it right into Mega-Beaks' open mouth.
As soon as the ball entered his body, he felt a surge of energy coming from inside. He felt every last nanite in his body break down and short-circuit. Without it, his body shrank down until he was finally normal-sized, back to being normal Mark Beaks. He coughed out loud as he finally threw the Fentonium ball out of his mouth.
"Oh, come on!" Mark Beaks yelled standing back up. "You can't beat me again! I had all the strength! I had all the power! I have…"
"A knuckle sandwich?"
Mark Beaks turned around seeing Howard standing before him with Huey and Webby beside him. Beaks was going to say something, but before he could, Howard punched him hard causing him to spin around and fall unconscious. He was left with a black eye.
"Heh. One punch. What a mook."
Webby looked around. "Hey. Where's Gandra?"
Fenton looked around seeing that she was nowhere in sight. "She must have fled after we beat Beaks."
"So much for a shot at romance." Huey frowned.
Howard looked down and found Fenton's paddle which he used for his Fentonium ball. He picked it up and saw that there was a scientific equation written on it along with the words "To a fellow scientist".
"I think he's got a better shot than we thought." Howard said before passing the paddle to Fenton, who's face lit up when he read what was written.
"She did it." Fenton said happily. "She actually cracked the equation."
"So… do you forgive her?" Howard asked. "I mean, she lied and used you."
"Not gonna lie. That did sting." Fenton said. "But, you know, I think some things can be overlooked with the right amount of wrongs made right."
"Plus, she did help save our lives." Webby said.
"Why do you ask, Howard?" Huey asked.
"Just… asking for someone."
Gandra Dee found her way into an alleyway. She hid herself in the shadows and looked around to make sure no one else was around. That's when she pulled out her phone and made a call.
"Agent Dee."
"Director." Gandra said. "I got visual confirmation. Looks like McDuck does have a mystery houseguest."
"A houseguest who we know nothing about. Even with my partner's extensive searching, there is absolutely no record at all on this Howard character. Did you learn anything about him?"
"Not much." Gandra answered. "A lot was going on tonight, more than I bargained for. But, after a conversation with him, I'm starting to think he's hiding something, even from the rest of the Duck family."
"Whatever it is, we'll find it. After all, there are no secrets from F.O.W.L."
