Lena's Flashback

All Lena ever wanted in life was to claim her freedom from Magica and put magic itself behind her. I mean, all it's ever done for her was harm the ones she cares about. She didn't think there was anyone worse than her aunt Magica when it came to being a witch, but she was surprised to find someone close to how obnoxious she was. Rosina Evermore, the witch with controlling magic had pointed out Lena's worse moments. She was a manipulator who let a money shark loose on her friends. To make matters worse that same witch had torn a rift between her, Violet, and Vincent; all so she could claim Vincent as a weapon. It was disgusting, and to make matters worse, Magica tried to get Lena to do the exact same thing when she met Vincent. Luckily things never got that far, Lena rejected the idea of recruiting Vincent immediately, and Vincent had rejected working with Magica when the offer was extended to him. If there was anything Vincent and Lena had in common, besides magic ruining their lives, it was the fact that they both rejected becoming the monsters that Magica and Rosina wanted them to be.

Lena laid back in her old underground room she stayed in during the time she worked for Magica. She sighed deeply as she stared at the friendship bracelet on her arm.

"How could you two set me up like that?", Vincent yelled at her from within her mind.

Lena groaned as she threw a pillow over her face. "He just needs space," she assured herself out loud. "It's not my fault Rosina tricked Violet and I." She remembered the time she had met Vincent, the two of them argued with each other because he referred to her as De Spell with animosity. She remembered how he searched all over the pier to apologize to her, even though he didn't know her.

"I'm sorry," the memory of Vincent apologized.

"W-what? Are you following me?!", she had responded. "Don't follow me weirdo!"

"I just came by to apologize for the way I acted. I didn't want any trouble?"

"I... I, why are you apologizing?", she had wondered. It could have been a trick. "That's not going to make us friends."

"I'm not trying to become friends," the memory of Vincent sighed. "I'm just trying to take back the way I acted. It was immoral, and I'm sorry for that."

Lena took her pillow off her head and then sat up. Vincent had searched for her and apologized at that time, and he didn't even know her. In fact, he was told she was dangerous by his mentor Madame Aurora. In spite that, he still saw her as another one of the duck kids. Like Webby and the triplets. Later he had been protecting her along with the rest of them. "Having friends is hard," Lena admitted to herself. "I can't lose him." She got up from her bed. There was a warning about a typhoon that would be hitting Duckburg soon, but she still had all day before that would happen. Violet had texted her, telling her it would be safer at the Sabrewing's house than it would in her dug up hide out. "I'll apologize to him first, and then I'll stay at Violet's," she decided. She took out her phone and texted Webby, asking if Vincent was at the manor.

Webby had responded that he was down at the library.

"All of my friends love books," Lena rolled her eyes. At least most of them did. Dewey and Louie could take them or leave them just like her. She got out of her place and headed off to the library. As soon as she got out of her place, she could see the wind in the trees picking up a little and she could feel some raindrops. "Starting up a little sooner than expected," Lena realized. "I'd better hurry, or I'll get stuck at that Library." She headed away from her place and down the street. But she seemed to run into some sort of invisible wall. "What the?", Lena responded. She felt along the wall and could feel a pressure pushing back against her. "That's just weird." She looked at her amulet and groaned. "Are you doing this?", she wondered. But the amulet wasn't behind the invisible wall, the alleyway that led towards the library was blocked by a familiar magic shop, that Lena for a moment couldn't see until she was really looking at it. Vincent's old place, Artifact had returned. The wind and rain was picking up, but there was no time to worry about that, she pulled out her phone to call Vincent, but her signal was bad. "One bar? Really?" She groaned again at her bad luck and started backing away from the storm to get a better signal, then the sky got dark, and lightning could be seen in the distance. "I better get inside." She headed towards the shop again and tried to enter, but that same invisible barrier was keeping her from entering Artifact. Then lightning begun to strike random places along the road as the rain started pouring down all at once. "What's with this storm? Is it magic?" She backed away from the barrier to see if any shops were open for her to take shelter in, but every building in the area was boarded up in preparation for the storm. "I'll go to Violet's," Lena decided aloud, but the wind picked up again causing her to lose her footing. She got underneath of a tree, protecting herself a little from the rain and wind. She pulled out her phone again, but it got blasted by lightning. She didn't get shocked, but the phone disappeared as if it was teleported. "Is this because Vincent is mad at me?", she called out to the shop. "I'm sorry, I wanted to apologize." Obviously, the shop didn't respond. She needed to go somewhere safe, but she couldn't leave her current spot because of the storm. She was stuck, and if the weather prediction was right, she was going to be stuck there for days. "I'm doomed." She could almost hear her aunt laughing at her within her mind.

"No good deed goes unpunished little Lena," her imagination of Magica, criticized her.

Lena lowered her head and started tearing up. The storm didn't get better, it continued to get worse and was now was making pirates and ninjas appear from the lightning. So it was a magic storm, she should be at Violet's place right now, but instead she was going to die in a magic typhoon. She pushed back against the wind and headed back towards the magic shop Artifact. "Look, I'm not my aunt," she yelled. Constantly, she would go between Artifact and wherever she could for cover. She would even try to see if there was a way around the barrier. "I just want to talk to Vincent," she called back out to the shop. No responses came from the shop. It just stood there, close but out of reach. Lena was cold, wet, and had been blown over a couple different times by the strong winds, but at least the lightning wasn't striking her anymore."I'm not my Aunt!", she yelled again.

After she yelled that, she heard someone yell her name. Lena turned around to see Vincent was pushing himself against the wind trying to move towards her. The Magic Shop's barrier wasn't keeping him from moving down the alleyway like it did for her. So the barrier really was just there to prevent Lena and only Lena from entering the shop.

"Lena," Vincent yelled, panicked and worried. "What are you doing out here?"

Lena teared up again as she attempted to move towards him. "I- I'm sorry," she cried. "I was looking for you to apologize. I was going to call you, but the storm blasted my phone to who knows where."

Vincent grabbed onto her, attempting to carry her. He wanted to move towards Artifact it looked lie, but the barrier that wasn't affecting him now was preventing him from heading towards Artifact. He did manage to get one foot past the barrier, but the rest of him was stuck.

"Forget about me," Lena yelled at him. "The shop doesn't like me... I'll find another way."

"Another way? You should have gone to the Sabrewings. Violet told me that was your original plan!"

"I thought I had more time before the storm would hit. I didn't think I'd get stuck in the middle of it!" Artifact begun to fade from view. Vincent was going to lose his home again, and it was all because she was Magica's Shadow. "Go Vincent! That's your home!"

"No," Vincent grunted, surprising her. "I won't abandon you! A home that doesn't let my family join, isn't a home for me!" A blue aura emitted from the two magic users as they held onto each other. That aura turned into a magic shield that formed a bubble around them protecting them from the elements. They panted and shivered now that their bodies were adjusting to not getting rained on.

Lena could even see her breath because of how long she had been out there. She looked over her shoulder and saw Artifact completely vanished. How could that place leave Vincent behind. She never met Madame Aurora, but she assumed that she cared about Vincent. Why else would Vincent have spent so much time trying to find Artifact.

"Your place is no good," Vincent finally spoke up, after he caught his breath. "The Library probably won't reopen it's doors back up to us. Let's head to Violet's house."

Lena nodded.


End of Lena's Flashback

"Then we made it to the Sabrewings," Lena finished her story. "The point is, you went out and saved me, even though there was a magic storm."

Webby teared up hearing this story. "Lena, you were in danger out in the middle of a storm. I should have invited you and Violet to stay at the manor."

"What, no, it's not your fault," Lena shook her head.

"I went out into a magic storm," Vincent repeated. "I let Artifact go for you? By that time, I would have stayed at Artifact for three years, and I only knew you for half of one."

"You didn't even know me for a day and you searched town in order to apologize to me," Lena reminded him. "I wanted to return the favor."

"That wasn't a good idea risking the storm," Violet shook her head. "I warned you several days in advance to come to my place."

"I should have," Lena admitted. "I thought I had time."

"So I've rescued the both of you for nothing in return," Vincent finally admitted. "Even more so, I gave up on my alliance with Mr. Elite and my place with Madame Aurora for the two of you. I did this all for family."

"Pretty much," Lena and Webby responded at the same time.

"Wow," Vincent chuckled to himself. "My whole world is turned upside down." Vincent looked sad for a moment. "It was never like that with my other guardians. I took care of my mother for as long as I could."

"You did your best Vincent," Violet assured him. "At least, that's what you told me."

"I guess it's your turn then," Vincent figured.

"Indeed," Violet nodded.
