Two Sided Coin//Scrooge McDuck x Reader

Louie's Mistake

You were livid. Louie's greed and lack of consideration had resulted in a mad dime chase for something that was never even in danger.

A fit of laughter shook your body. Louie and Scrooge stared at you like you'd finally broke while your fingers dug into your skin.

"Louie!" You yelled, sniffling as your (s/c) turned red with anger. "The decoy! I thought- I was so worried-"

Over and over it played in your mind: The dime was safe. You were safe. For now, everything was alright.

"Oy, whats goin on?" Scrooge asked down to his young nephew. A nervous smile crept up Louie's beak.

"I thought I took your lucky dime! I ran all around looking for it, there was a robot, and Gyro, and what is so special about that stupid coin?!"

Your breath hitched as you pulled yourself together and stood back up from the ground while wiping your eyes. "Ugh! Louie! I am so-" You took a deep breath- "I love you, Louie, but never, ever do that again. That dime is a little important."

"A little!" Scrooge tapped his cane on the office floor. "HA! This dime is my most prized possession. It's the first I ever earned."

"Seriously?" Louie groaned. "Can't you just, I dunno, grab a new one?"

"Absolutely not!" Scrooge corrected as he pointed his cane in his nephews face. "Its value is more than sentimental, lad! This coin brought (Y/n) to our world! I wouldn't part with it for all the money in the world, and that's beside the fact I've already got most of it."

Louie turned to you. "Humans live in dimes? I thought you were from another dimension!"

"I am," you knelt again to Louie's height, placing a hand on his shoulder as your anger subsided, "In my world, I picked up a dime on the side of the street. In your world, it was the tail end of Scrooge's dime, and a spell meant to summon a great power dropped me, quite literally, at Scrooge's feet."

The story seemed to change Louie's mind. He looked to the dime with a new sense of wonder and a twinkle in his eye as Scrooge tucked the pendant back into his shirt.

"You have a magic dime! Do you know how much money-"

"LOUIE!"

You and Scrooge had yelled at him at the same time. Once again, you found that you were copying each other's pose as you put your hands on your hips and leaned down at the youngest triplet.

"You're still grounded."

"Aw, man."

Once you returned to the mansion, you took a quick shower and changed into your nightwear. You were humming an old tune peacefully to yourself as you brushed your hair in the mirror, ready for a peaceful night in. You looked away for a moment before turning back to the mirror and dropping your brush instantly. Instead of your reflection, a black shadow had replaced you in the mirror. A shadow with blood red eyes.

"Magica." You sneered at the mirror as you stepped away from . "Leave."

Her shadow grew in the mirror as she stuck her 'face' closer to you. "Ooh, I'm so scared! You don't tell me what to do, dear. I do."

You pushed yourself away from the desk in an attempt to get away, but she simply left the mirror to appear on the wall in front of you twice as large as before. You scoffed as you crossed your arms.
