Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 5

Chapter 39: Doofus' Snowcone

Gyro wandered the ship, looking for Future Gloria. Homeboy had been looking for hours and she was nowhere to be found. And he checked every bar too. And the casinos. And sadly the strip club which was one of the most uncomfortable experiences of his life. At this rate it seemed he was going to have to search the island next.

The more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed. Future Gloria checked in with him all the time, especially when he was going to die in the future, so it was weird for her to not speak with him in a few days. Plus she was never this hard to find. Of course he couldn't find her when he needed to talk to her most. Of fucking course.

Unless... she was missing?

Or dead?!

No. Gyro shook that thought out of his head. There was too much going on at the moment for him to start stressing over that.

Ashley caught wind of what Gloria had told Dr. Anity last night. About how he was starting to get suspicious. Dr. Anity told Gloria that she should work it out but he later instructed Ashley to bring him into the lab after Gloria left for the night. He figured that Gyro would only grow more suspicious and there was no harm in having another fellow scientist around while his experiment was nearing its completion.

It didn't take long for Ashley to find Gyro. Dude was built like a tree. She walked over to him and smiled with her signature move. Two drinks at hand. One was spiked. "Hey! You're Gyro right? I know we haven't met yet but I'm Ellie's new girlfriend and I wanted to introduce myself!"

"Don't care." Gyro sped up to get away from her. He was in the mood for no bullshit.

Ashley followed him and laughed. "Hey! What's the rush?"

"None of your business. Now go away. Thank you very much."

She held out one of the drinks. "Well could you at least take one? I bought you a drink so we could get to know each other. I already met Gloria." Wow this guy was rude as hell.

Gyro stopped in his tracks. "You know Gloria? Do you know where she is and what's going on with her?" He didn't bother to explain why he was asking those questions.

"Yeah she's on the island right now, hanging out with Ellie. She was a little busy when I saw her but she asked me to find you."

"She asked you? HA! Yeah right. She would come ask me herself, not send you." He stepped closer to get in Ashley's face. "Listen Ashley, I'm not an idiot. I know Gloria is involved in something and whatever it is, Ellie's in on it too. And now I'm starting to think you know about it."

Damn. Ashley realized that Gyro was too smart to just drink a spiked drink out of nowhere. Unlike Mark who literally chugged it in seconds flat. She set the drinks down and got in his face, her happy attitude gone. "I don't know what you're implying."

"Dropping the nice act?" He raised a brow. "Well... guess that means you're one of the people pulling the strings." He pointed to the drink. "You thought a spiked drink would work? Better luck next time."

Ashley scoffed, not wanting to deal with this dude anymore. She took out Plan B, a syringe filled with the same thing found in the spiked drink. She swiftly jabbed the needle into his neck and injected him with the poison . "You're such a pain in the ass. Whatever. You should have listened to your girlfriend when she said to stop asking questions." Ashley smiled again.

"Ow!" He jumped back, holding onto his neck where Ashley had injected him. "Goddamnit!" He grit his teeth. "No matter. Guess what, Ashley? I know the future and-"

Wait... timelines change and Future Gloria was gone and... oh no.

It was a possibility she could have died because something was going to happen to the new Gloria in the current, brand new timeline.
