Neb: I do not own Ducktales. Now I will tell each of the Duck Family member's stories of how they met Vincent and what he did that affected them in some way. I hope you all enjoy, I'm going to be releasing a bunch of chapters at once here.
Huey's Flashback
"What? Vincent's in the hospital?"
"Yeah, I'm planning on visiting him when Lena and Violet get here," Webby explained. Huey and Webby were hanging out by the front door of the manor. As Webby stated she was waiting on Lena and Violet before she would be heading out to visit Vincent.
"What happened to him?", Huey wondered.
"Granny stated he's fine, but he had gotten into a fight and lost," Webby explained. "At least he made it out okay."
"Okay? He could have died, why is he always getting into fights?", Huey wondered.
"It's not his fault," Webby shook her head. "I'm sure of it, he was ambushed."
"The coffee shop he worked at is completely destroyed," Louie pointed out from the living room. "I guess Vincent accidentally blew the place up during his fight. Poor guy can't catch a break."
"That's all you can say?", Huey responded. "Our friend is in the hospital."
"I know that," Louie replied insulted. "That's just some people's luck. You remember how often Uncle Donald would get burnt or electrocuted. It's not because he doesn't know how to work a stove or an outlet, that's just his luck. I think that same curse unfortunately belongs to Vincent."
Huey looked down and shook his head. He remembered when Vincent first ate with their family. How happy he was to find another kid he could relate to.
"I merely walk the Path of Order," The memory of Vincent stated. "I don't let it control my destination, I just prefer to walk a path I'm familiar with."
"Now I like him," Huey remembered himself replying. "It's the same with my Junior Woodchuck Guidebook. I like reading other books and can do it more often. But, I prefer the book I know by heart."
"I suppose that is similar."
"Look Huey, I know your upset," Webby begun. "I'm upset to, but it's not Vincent's fault one why he got hurt."
"Isn't it?", Huey wondered. "You guys remember back when Glomgold tried to blow us all up. Vincent jumped in front of the explosion to save us all. He didn't try to pull us out of the way, or yell at us to run. Instead he risked his own life trying to be a human shield."
"There wasn't a lot of time for him to react," Webby argued. "Besides he came out of that one unharmed."
"Oh yeah, how did he pull that off?", Louie wondered. "It looked like he took the full blast of the explosion."
"Magic, duh," Webby responded.
"But Vincent said he didn't know any other forms of magic besides blowing stuff up," Huey remembered. "So why was magic conveniently the answer that time?"
"I don't know," Webby shook her head.
"Well you'll have plenty of time to ask him that," Louie waved it away. "Look Huey, I know you wanted Vincent to be this duck who chooses to live based on logic and being organized just like you, but no one is like you. The sooner you accept that, the better."
Huey looked down angrily and then sighed. "Fine, your right."
"Hey kids, what's all the commotion over here?", Della wondered as she headed in through the front door.
"Nothing mom, it's just. A friend of ours got hurt," Huey explained.
"Oh no, a friend of my sons," Della panicked. "We should go check on him."
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Louie chuckled as he turned on the t.v.
"He's fine," Webby explained. "I've visited him a few times, but now I'm waiting on my friends to get here before granny takes us."
"Actually, Webby," Huey begun. "Do you mind if my mom takes me to the hospital ahead of you?"
"Not at all," Webby shook her head. "Just like you said, he's your friend to."
The two of them smiled before Huey headed out with Della.
"So what's this Vincent guy like?", Della wondered.
"Reckless," Huey admitted.
"Sounds like a great guy," Della laughed. "Hopefully not in the same way that Launchpad is."
"No," Huey shook his head. "He's an artifact collector like Scrooge is. But he collects them to study them, that's one of the traits that I liked about him. But he's also constantly throwing himself into danger. Now he's hurt because of it."
"That sounds like someone I know," Della admitted as she sighed. "Huey, I am sorry about getting stuck in space. I really thought I was prepared for anything. But that's just not how life works. I guess what I'm saying is, this Vincent fellow sounds a little bit like me."
"I... I guess he is kind of like you," Huey realized. "Louie pointed out he has Uncle Donald's luck though."
"Oh, that is unfortunate," Della grimaced. "Does he do anything else?"
"He works, and he writes," Huey explained. "He sees Webby as a younger sister. He'll do anything to protect her, and the rest of us."
"What? Your friend sounds amazing."
"Yeah, I suppose he is."
End of Huey's Flashback
"That should help fill in some blanks for you," Huey smiled.
"So I got hurt protecting you guys also?", Vincent wondered.
"Well no, you got healed when that happened," Huey explained. "I think it was Lena who did that. It was when you fought Britt and Quinn at the coffee shop that put you in the hospital. The only one you were protecting at the time was yourself."
"I suppose that's why I wasn't able to access that new form of magic Violet keeps bringing up," Vincent figured. "It doesn't appear when I'm in a state of danger. It seems to come up more, when you guys are in a state of danger."
"I guess so," Huey shrugged. "So do you remember anything?"
"I'm not receiving any headaches," Vincent explained. "So I guess your story isn't triggering anything. Still, it's a good story. I do apologize that my other self worried you so much."
"Hey, it's no big deal," Huey assured. "It's like Webby said, it wasn't your fault."
"I'm not so sure of that," Vincent shook his head. "I'm not sure what happened to me between ages fourteen and sixteen that made me... a sentimental fool."
