Two Darkwing Duck Adventures for the Post of One!
[For Morgana]
[Drake's quest to find answers about the missing Professor Waddlemeyer was full of dead ends. He had made no progress, and he felt bad about the effect that had on Gosalyn. She was still her normal chipper self most of the time, but he had learned to see the cracks in that. And he wanted to do everything he could to help her feel better until he could reunite her with her real family.
These days, it seems the thing she got most excited for was a band. To Drake's relief, it's not like other music of the youths which register just as noise for him. This actually sounds like the kind of thing he'd listen to in high school! And the singing is just great... but this is about Gosalyn! In a spot of bad timing, Gosalyn's fallen sick while the band's has come to St. Canard for a concert. And so Drake's claimed to be out for a night of quiet patrolling while Launchpad tends to the sick kid, but in actuality he's doing something as Drake Mallard. If she can't attend the concert, maybe he can at least get an autograph for her or something. Maybe that will raise her spirits!
And so, Drake Mallard sneaks around backstage at the concert, for any sign of mysterious melodist...]
[For Della]
[It was a long night of fighting crime in Avalon for one Darkwing Duck. Some sort of magical monsters were on the loose, and he didn't get out of it without a comical number of bruises on his head. He was also left somewhat disoriented...
So when he slinked back home in the wee hours of the morning and tried to clamber into his bedroom through the window, he did not realize that he was going through the completely wrong window, into the room of the one person who didn't yet know his secret!]

[ Speaking of, she heads over to close it so no one else hears all these shenanigans. His secret is safe from the outside world for another day. ]
Are you about done flapping your gums?
no subject
[He chuckles sheepishly and heads towards the door.]
I, I guess I am just about done here. I probably should get to my own bedroom, since I am kinda extraordinarily exhausted... And I'm sure you have a lot to process. I'll let you soak in the full weight of this incredible revelation in peace!
no subject
[ She will follow him to the door, mostly to make sure he does leave. ]
For the record, I'm the only one in the house without a secret identity. 'Cause I don't need one.
no subject
Of course you are. You're a mom and a real life hero! That's something you don't need to hide away.
[He smiles sincerely, but then after a moment he opens his mouth again.]
It's just a shame that doesn't come with the same kind of dedicated fan base...
no subject
Y'know, maybe she's been too hard on him. He's not all bad. He tries his best, he's helping others, he's -
RUINING IT YET AGAIN WITH THAT LAST SENTENCE. ]
OUUUUUUT!
[ At which point Della promptly and literally kicks him out of her room. And it's with the metal leg, so extra ow. ]
no subject
Guess I... made it. ... Close enough!
[He sighs.]
She must... feel jealous....
[With that, he just falls asleep then and there.]
no subject
But it's now going to be difficult... because she's got that STUPID THEME SONG STUCK IN HER HEAD!
SHE'S GOING TO HATE THIS GUY FOREVER!!! ]
