1 + 1 = Us (Gyro Gearloose x Reader)

The Great Dime Chase

Y/n POV:

I continued to work in my new office on the computer till it was time for me to leave. Once it was finally time, I closed my laptop and walked out of the office to find Gyro. Looking around the room was kinda empty and quiet. As if no one was ever here. Weird. I went upstairs to the lab and saw Gyro placing something in a box. "Took you long enough." He said as he noticed my presence.

He then placed a box in my arms and made me grunt in surprise a little. He literally dropped that thing. "And don't drop it, it's breakable." He pointed. "We're going to Mr. McDucks meeting to introduce MY invention to him and his business buddies." "And what do I do?" I asked. "You are to present it, we'll..depends if it likes you." "Wait..it's alive- "Anyways let's get started!" He clasped his hands together as he walked into the elevator.

I followed him into it and we waited for it to stop at the office. We were gonna be in here for a moment, why not small talk. "Hey Gyro, what's in the box?" I asked as I tried to peek. "Oh, NOW you ask about it. Lil bulb, the bulb that will do it all." I smirked. "A bulb?" "Yes. A bulb."

We then made it to our stop and walked to where I'm assuming was Scrooge's conference room. "Are you sure we should just walk in on Scrooge during a meet- he then l i t e r a l l y kicked the door open. "SHUT UP EVERYONE IVE DONE SOMETHING BRILLIANT!" I wanted to laugh. My, does someone have confidence?

"Ah. Gyro Gearloose and Y/n Vanderquack. My head of research and development, alongside his new intern. I then saw Louie who got up from his seat, I smiled at him as he waved awkwardly.

"I'm sorry." Interrupted the vultures that Scrooge was talking with. "But we- "Apology accepted. Now try to keep up with my mind-numbing genius." Geez, sassy much. It was very much hard to believe that this was my lab partner 10 years ago.

"Gyro~ what did we say about about interacting with other people?" Said Scrooge. Gyro scoffed. "The cards. Fine." He reached for the box I was holding and grabbed some cards from inside. He's so stuck up that he has to write introductions. This is laughable yet sad.

"Hello Mr. McDuck...and others." He said referring to the vultures. "Are you tired of using all those single-use gadgets cluttering up you junk drawer? 'What a mess. There's got to be a better way!' He then motioned me to bring out lil bulb. I opened the box and saw the bulb. It was literally a little bulb person. I placed my hand gently and it hesitantly went on it. I smiled as I brought him up.

"Meet Lil Bulb, a tiny all purpose robot that does  it all." The little robot waved which was adorable. "Wait, what does it do?" Asked the vulture. Gyro facepalmed and sighed. "It. All." I smirked. "Lil Bulb is an artificially intelligent personal robot helper." He then grabbed a piece of toast that was in the box. "He can make toast." He put the toast close to the bulb as he toasted it. "Find keys." He then jumped from my hand and grabbed one of the vultures keys from his coat as he placed it in his hand. "Serve as a book light for your late-night reading." The lil bulb then shone brighter in front of the vulture that was speaking. "You'll never have to do anything yourself, again."

I was actually really impressed with this invention. Lil Bulb can pretty much do anything, as he said. (Also a way that humanity can resolve to laziness) "Impressive Dr." I said to him. He smirked. "Of course it is, it's my invention." I rolled my eyes at this.

"Mhm. And how will you insure that this one won't achieve sentience and turn evil like all the others?" Oh dang, we're really bringing that up now? I wanted to butt in by Gyro interrupted me before I could. "Only HALF of my inventions turn evil. The other half are just, WILDLY misunderstood." The bulb then gave a 'I'll slit your throat' symbol to the vultures. Same Lil Bulb.

"What's it doing?" He pointed at Lil Bulb as he was waving, angrily at him. Gyro picked him up and looked at him with an frown. "Waving. It likes you." The businessman looked at the rest of his gang. "Request denied." He said. Are you serious? "Sir, why don't you give this invention a chance?" "I made my word fellow intern." I frowned. Gyro just sighed sharply and placed Lil Bulb back in the box as he dropped it in my hands again.
