[Fenton & Morgana] + [Fenton & Della] = Fenton's Life Continues To Get Weirder

[Morgana]

[ While Morgana still didn't really think herself as a hero, she was still actively trying to be a Good Person. It wasn't easy, and it was often a struggle not to fall into bad habits, but she was trying her best. Having Darkwing, Gosalyn, and Launchpad's support was wonderful, but she wanted her circle to get even bigger. And what better way to make your boyfriend proud of you than by being friends with his friends? And a perfect opportunity had arrived to seek Fenton out!

During her last concert, Morgana had... gotten a little too into her music, let's say, and it wound up with her speakers exploding. While she knew the ins and outs of her own guitar, her forte was magic, not mechanics. And surely the genius inventor Fenton (as Drake had described!) would know how to fix her equipment! And maybe make it better than ever!

Alas, monster society and mortal society tended to differ when it came to certain social norms. For example, a mortal would think to politely knock at that person's front door, or ask a friend for their number. But monsters were pretty much used to hanging outside of people's windows and knocking on the glass to ask for permission to enter. ~~Not that she needed permission because she was a vampire or anything. A-hem~~.]

[Della]

[ Della tended to avoid Gyro's laboratory, mostly to... avoid Gyro. But he was away for a week for his own nerd reasons, but he'd also taken along Little Bulb and Manny, which meant most of the daily grunt work was left to Fenton. Days ago, Della had happily volunteered to help Fenton in whatever he needed. But since that day, something had happened. Something that had completely soured Della's mood.

So while she kept her word, carrying this and that around the lab, cleaning up, doing whatever Fenton asked, she did so with an annoyed expression on her face. Every so often, she could be heard muttering something. ]

Razza frazza Darkwing... razza frazza braggart... razza frazza incredibly hot rock-star monster girlfriend...

[ She puts her attention on him, but lets him have his space, cheerfully watching him. ]

Of course! I've heard so much about your technical prowess! All the good you do for the world's richest duck, your incredible inventions, doing all that work for that hack Gizmoduck...

[ Yep, this is Darkwing's girlfriend, all right. ]

... Winning over a former villain...

[ That last one is said a bit quietly, pushing her fingers together. Maybe, just maybe, this wasn't all about the speakers. ]

[ He fumbles a little when she mentions Gizmoduck, and he's glad his back is to her as he rolls his eyes a bit. Those two were meant for each other, all right...

But the mention of winning over a former villain has him pausing for a moment, because there's something about her tone that has him glancing at her curiously. ]

Is, uh...that something you wanted to talk about?

Whaaaaat? Noooo! ... But now that you brought it up -

[ She brought it up!? ]

Aren't you ever worried about... her? Like, maybe, she'll mess up and slip up back into villainy, even though she's trying really hard not to?

.............

[ Yyyyyyyyyeah, she is definitely a good match for Drake. ]

I'm...actually not? We've had some time to talk things out, and we promised to be honest with each other. So I trust that if she's having doubts about anything, she'll come to me so we can talk about it.

Wow! You really have that much faith in her? After all she did? After how much she hurt you?

[ She's in awe! Complete and total awe! ]

Well, it was difficult at first. We had to talk a lot about what we wanted, what we were willing to do, both for each other and for others. But that's part of a relationship, right? Being able to communicate with one another, about our fears and doubts as well as our hopes and dreams. Getting to know one another and really learning about the other.

[ Gosh, he's so worldly and wise! No wonder Drake recommended him! Gizmoduck has no idea how fortunate he is to have such a genius working alongside him! ]

That sounds so... perfect! And romantic! You're so good at both robotics and relationships!

[ At least she's as cheerful and supportive as Drake is? ]

I'm so glad I came! I already feel so much better about everything... To think, you have so much trust and faith in her after she seduced you into helpless mush!

[ Aaaand there's the other shoe dropping.

Drake didn't exactly give Morgana all the details to what happened with Fenton and Gandra, out of respect and privacy, which allowed Morgana to fill in the gaps on her own. She assumed, that much like her initial relationship with Darkwing, Gandra used her good looks to put the wibbly-wobbly in Fenton's heart and mind.

Because, y'know, how else would a villain!girl and hero!boy relationship work???]

[ Fenton sputters with a surprised squawk, dropping some of the tools he'd already gathered. ]

S-She didn't seduce me!

[ ...not technically, but... ]

[ She raises her eyebrows, surprised. ]

What do you mean? Drake told me she was using you. Didn't she put on something form-fitting and slinky, whisper clever word play in your ear, trace intricate symbols up and down your chest, kiss you really deeply in order to distract you from whatever she was doing...

[ If Fenton doesn't stop her, she's just gunna keep going, so enjoy those mental images, buddy! ]

[ Oh hey, Fenton's face is bright red now. ] N-No! She didn't do anything like that! We were just doing science experiments!

... And that's not an euphemism?

[ How... disappointing. What was the fun of a villain/hero ship if one of them wasn't kabe~~duck~~don-ing the other to the wall and trying to lure them to the other side?

Ah well, not all romances can be the stuff of legends, she supposes. ]

No! We both like science and inventing, so we were just showing each other some of our inventions.

[ Look people are into different things, give him a break. ]

Then we had some dinner, and then I found out she was working for one of my - my boss' enemies.

[ ...was Mark Beaks really Scrooge's enemies, or had he turned into one of Gizmoduck's nemeses? He's actually not sure anymore. Beaks always seemed more opposed to him than Scrooge in general. ]

[ Luckily, she does seem to have greater control of her brain-to-mouth filter than, say, certain other ducks. So any disparaging comments are left inside. ]

Mm-hmmm... and then you worked together to defeat him? That's what happened to me too! And then, through more adventures, you won her over! It's still very romantic!

[ He chuckles, a little embarrassed, as he rubs the back of his head. ]

Yeah, uh...something like that.

[ That was a pretty simplified version of how it happened, but it was a good enough description. ]

B-But uh...I'm sure you didn't come all the way here just to talk about my relationship.

[ Please go back to talking about you and Darkwing. ]

Oh, right, the speakers!

[ That's what he meant, right? She turns around and begins climbing out the window, showing a remarkable amount of flexibility ... or something akin to a large spider. Don't think about it.

She's not sure if Fenton knows about the Drake-Darkwing connection, so she has to be careful how she words things. Once outside, she smooths down her dress. ]

I wasn't exactly working for a shady organization... I was the shady organization. At least, that's how I saw things... I thought I was in charge of the band, and that they wanted to follow my orders. But it turned out they were the ones pulling my strings, encouraging me to do the wrong things to get ahead.

[ Sure, the speakers are a good change of topic anyway, he'll take that. He'll also follow her out the window, because why not, but he's definitely a lot less graceful about it, and manages to slip from the windowsill and lands flat on his back on the ground.

He picks himself back up quickly though, especially as she starts explaining her situation. ]

Well...everyone makes mistakes. Sure, some might be a bit more...severe than others, but that doesn't mean you can't make up for those mistakes. Especially since it sounds like you've already started doing that, with helping out Darkwing against your former bandmates, right?

[ Fortunately, upon close inspection, the speakers don't seem too difficult to fix. Some frayed wires, some things bent out of place... a pair of bats sitting on top and looming over him... ]

Oh, but I never would have even thought about turning against them if it wasn't for him. It's like.. he somehow saw the real me, no matter what I did... even when I was beating his skull in with my guitar.

[ ... how. romantic? ]

[ He jumps a bit once he notices the pair of eyes just staring at him, but after clearing his throat he gets back to work on the speakers.

Though he pauses again at her words, because...well, that sure is an image. ]

Well, sometimes it just takes someone reaching out to us in order for us to take that first step. Besides, I'm sure he's happy that you're fighting alongside him now. Does it really matter how it happened?

[ Luckily, the bats don't really do anything more than stare at him. They're just friendly critters. ]

Well, the whole "villain seducing hero until he charms her into good" was a lot of fun... but you're right - the important thing is I've put my villainous ways behind me!

[ She props herself against the back of the speakers, watching him with interest. ]

[ With a smile, he points at her with the tool he's using. ] That's the spirit! And it seems like you've got some pretty good help with sticking on your new path, but just don't be afraid to ask for more assistance if you're ever having trouble, okay?

I'm sure you'll be fine.

[ Asking for help is still very new to her, as are so many things, but he says it with such confidence! What a good friend! No wonder Drake likes him so much! She wants to be friends with him too! ]

Thanks, Fenton... I really mean it. I'm glad I came...

[ Ending this thread soft and sweet? Not on my watch! ]

I just hope that loser Gizmoduck listens to you too. He'd really benefit from it! If you ever get sick of working for him, I'm sure Darkwing would be more than happy to have your genius!
