Drake was about to complain that Launchpad was pulling on his hand too hard, when suddenly he wasn't holding his hand anymore. Launchpad was embracing that infamous miser Scrooge McDuck so tight and close Drake felt his stomach clenching up. What the hell? Why didn't LP ever give HIM hugs like this? Not that he wanted that kind of mushy crap from his sidekick, but this old geezer wasn't even in Launchpad's life ANYMORE!
Then his heart about stopped when Launchpad described him as his "partner." "Wh-wh-what?" He croaked out, shocked so hard he felt his feathers tingling. Then a small voice in his head reminded him, surely Launchpad meant CRIMEFIGHTING partner, but the big lug left out that part, thankfully, since then he'd have to explain about Drake's superhero identity. He didn't, COULDN'T mean "partner" any other way. Whew, the sun was hot today! Drake felt nervous and his face felt too warm. He could only stare dazedly at Scrooge and the lady in black standing behind him, who looked strangely familiar.
