if i couldn't be strong / would you still love me the same (scrooge x magica)

[blackmagicduck]

If a year or two ago, someone had told Magica she was about to do this, she would have laughed in their faces and slapped them. Magica De Spell, world's greatest sorceress, asking her number one enemy Scrooge McDuck for help? It was madness! It was insane!

... But right now, it was her only option.

Typically she only "attacked" him at work, trying at his actual mansion would be something new. If his family was home, she'd be kicked out in an instant. She had to make this quick...!

She circled the mansion several times atop her flying broom before spotting an open window. It was now or never, she could only hope she was right, and this was the master bedroom! At least there they would have some privacy, and surely he'd be home by now!

She took a deep breath, and then flew straight in, leaping to the floor without a second thought. "Scrooge McDuck!"

Scrooge just shook his head disappointed. The more she stuck to this ridiculous story, the more certain he was that it was a trick. It just didn't look like her.

Quick as a snake he approached her and grabbed her by the collar. He had never made a difference in how he treated women and men. He could hardly suppress his grudge, with his teeth bitten together he growled at her: "That's enough now, that's really the stupidest thing you've ever tried, and that's saying a lot. Do yourself a favor and get out of here. Next time hopefully you have a better plan."

It overtook him himself what disappointment he felt. This woman usually made sure that he had to bring up all his strength and his mind to stand up to her and now she begged him for money? That was not the Magica he...knew...

Magica winced - for a good moment she thought he was going to strike her. She knew by now he wasn't afraid to get physical with her, and in turn she could give as good as she got.

But she didn't raise her hands in defense - she hadn't even brought any wands. If he wanted to hurt her, there was nothing stopping him. But right now, his words were hurting her the most - she hung her head in defeat, her voice unusually hollow.

"... You really won't do it, will you." She'd given this everything she could, and nothing was working. "Nothing I say will convince you. It's... useless."
