▬▬▬ ☾☆      Della looked at Huey’s hand,  hesitating  only  brieflybefore  shaking  it.  He  was  very  formal.  She  didn’t  hold  on  to  it  for  very  long  though,  not  wanting  to  be  overly  enthusiastic… Even  though  this  was  a  huge  moment  for  all  of  them.  These  were  her  kids!  But  as  much  as  this  was  about  her,  it  was  also  about  them  &&  their  comfort.  She  could  respect  that.  After  all,  she  was  still  a  stranger  to  them.  
            She didn’t push the lack  of  any  response  from  Louie.  They  were  all  going  to  react  differently,  she  figured.  Still,  when  the  boys  sat  down,  Della  stood  at  the  table  instead,  just  watching  them.  
Tumblr media
                                  ❝  It is still chili night. Donnie sure does make a mean pot of chili. Way better than me at that, heh.  ❞  She  went  quiet  after  that  for  just  a  minute  before  the  silence  was  toomuch  for  her.  ❝  So… did you boys have a good day today?  ❞
            Hopefully that’d be a good  enough  conversation  starter  to  tide  them  over  until  Donald  returned. 
Tumblr media
Dewey finally took the lead. Louie was quiet enough to worry him, and so he was going to dewey what he did best - talk. “Of yeah, today was great! Learning is boring, but guess who’s got the best part in the big play! He’s got two thumbs and is this guy!” A grin and two thumbs pointing at himself.
That bit of ego was enough to draw a scoff from Louie, the youngest rolling his eyes. “He’s got two lines.” Dewey looked back at him, betrayal obvious. “Oh come on, you know it’s true!”
Huey shook his head, giving Della a long suffering look. “This is actually tame.”

          “ Oh, please, doc.” Gladstone rolls his eyes, dismissing the question he asks entirely. For the moment, anyway. “ I can invoke a real emotion out of anyone. ” Sure, usually those emotions are negative, but an emotion is an emotion. And he likes seeing them on the overworked scientist’s face. 
While positive emotions are preferred, he’ll take what he can get from Gyro.
         “ To answer your question, however, I knew that you’d be holed up in your little lab for however many days on end, and figured a little company might do you good. ”
Tumblr media
“As long as you’re not in the way.” Gyro acquiesces. Arguing with any member of the Duck Family is a losing game and that would take energy he could be using for his invention. Besides, as loathe as he was to admit it, he was still a social creature - company was helpful to him in it’s own way.
He almost wished it wasn’t.
“And as long as you’re willing to hold things if I need you to."

❝ you act like…you’re just a good man who did a bad thing. ❞ Gears @ Gyro | @geniusinventor​
Tumblr media
its easy to forget, sometimes, just how perceptive gears is. there’s the same genius behind the mask of mockery and deception, and a much deeper self awareness than the rest of their selves can really claim to have. he can’t even claim that he particularly likes any of their alternative selves - gears is his favorite, that’s a given at this point - but even so he has a list of people he’d rather have over gears in his life. but there’s a truth in gears’ words.
there’s no such thing as a good gyro gearloose.
he certainly wouldn’t claim it. he stood by and let his brother be killed and raised up by a necromancer as an undead servant and felt no shame, disgust, or affront. there was a grim elation at it, in fact. not the reaction of a good man.
“there are expectations in working for mr. mcduck.”
he shrugs, for all intents the image of nonchalance.
“we both know the truth, gears. i’m a bad man that occasionally does a good thing.”

Gyro swore off magic for a long time after Magica was trapped in the dime. How could he not, when all it did was remind him of her. There were bits that he couldn’t stop, inherent to his hands doing the work he loved, but outside of that, outside of protective enchantments under Mr. McDuck’s watchful gaze, he didn’t dare touch anything complicated and willful until after the Shadow War. After he was dragged unceremoniously back to his former mentor and found wanting.

“for someone who doesn’t like to feel things, you sure feel a lot of it out loud.”/ to gyro from gladstone <3 | @tournesolette​
Tumblr media
“i haven’t had a real emotion in twenty years.” comes the deadpan reply, sparing only a moment to shoot gander a glare. which yes, he is absolutely aware undermines his point. so too does whatever exactly this relationship they have is. blathering blatherskite, this is why he didn’t want anyone around him. “are you just here to point out things?”

The red clad Duck Cousin squirmed in the Egghead’s grip as the hold was passed on to Bradford. He remembered this from when Della and Uncle Scrooge almost got thrown in, what was supposed to happen to anyone who went into it. He didn’t want to go away, he wanted to be with his family, his precious cousins. He’d only just connected with his brother again! They were supposed to get together! Him, Gladdy, Abner, Della and- and- What was the last one? There should have been another, he knew it.
But the name didn’t come. Not immediately.
Only when it was too late did it come, “Don-”
And Fethry Duck was gone.

This was perhaps the most difficult of Scrooge’s ‘family’ to acquire so far, but a necessity if his plans were to move forward. He’d reviewed the footage from the library and took stock of who in particular had ruined everything the first time. This man in particular had been a thorn whether or not he had intended to be.
And taking him down would harm Scrooge irreparably - even if the old duck couldn’t remember him.
It took more people than he’d like to take down Launchpad McQuack, but all the same the man was here, tied up next to where the portal would soon open. The ripples would be greater with him, deep connections to Darkwing Duck and Gizmoduck as well as the McDuck family about to be severed. How the world around them adjusted would be interesting to be seen.
The machine whirred back to life and as soon as the portal was open, the pilot was thrown in - and removed from the fabric of reality.
