Sparks Fly (Megavolt x Reader)

Don't Call Him Sparky

(Just don't, okay?)

Alright, a nice little break there. Now, where were we?

Oh yeah. Preparing myself for my doom.

I freeze in my place, awaiting my demise.

"Hey you! Lady!"

...

What-

Did someone just call me a lady?

What kind of-

"Could ya help a rat out over here?"

There's a strange, scratchy voice coming from somewhere... I look around but I don't see anyone. Great. Just great. Some creepy guy who still calls girls "ladies" is gonna kill me. What a story to tell my ancestors.

"W-where are you? Who are you?"

"Up here! Say, could ya bring those bulbs up to me? I kinda need them."

I look up and see a figure, illuminated by the partially lit billboard, on top of a skyscraper waving at me. Then I look down at the cemented ground and spot two broken light bulbs. They're shattered from falling who knows how many feet, so I scoop up the metal bases and raise them up as high as I could for this shady guy to see. 

Why am I even doing what he says anyways?

Oh yeah.

Because if I don't I'll probably die.

"You mean these?" I ask as I hold them up, attempting but probably failing to show him the bases. "Uh, it... the glass part broke so it only... only the metal part is left."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Figured just as much. Would it kill ya to bring 'em up anyways? Kind of on a schedule here."

All. The way. Up there?

Oh boy.

I don't wanna die. But I also don't want to die! Death by creepy guy, or death by tripping on a ladder step? Take your pick! And who's to say this guy is actually gonna pull anything if I don't bring him this junk? Why does he need it anyways?

... But who's to say he won't kill me with a gun or something if I try to run?

OH WELL, I GUESS.

I put the bronze bases in my pocket as I walk over to the jade staircase on the outside of the building and start climbing. Oh geez. This is kind of high up.

I don't want to bother you with the important details and pure joy of going up stairs so let's just skip to the part where I miraculously make it.

"Um, I got the metal stuff..." I had climbed up the ladder high enough to hold up the pieces. Before I could put them back in my pocket to finish climbing up, the shady guy snatches them from my hand, causing me to almost lose my balance. Well! 

He takes a step back and gives me a glare through his goggles. Is this guy some sort of electrician??? Or a mascot for one...? He's got a funky looking jumpsuit. And he's wearing a plug on his head. I'm... not entirely sure what I'm looking at right now.

The... Clown or whatever... gives me a once over before mumbling something totally incoherent and trudging back to whatever the heck he was doing.

"Thanks for helping me up ... Not." I mumble as I climb up the rest of the steps and onto the roof. 

"What?" He turns around.

"Uh, nothing!" I stiffen up.

He scoffs and goes back to his work.

My eyes dart around. "Aren't you... Going to kill me or something? Hold me captive?" I lean in.

"Huh? Oh. Wait what? Why the hell would I do that? Look, you didn't see anything, alright?"

See what? This guy's obviously up to something. Let me try this... "But you... You're just fixing the billboard, right?"

This time it was his turn to dart his eyes around. "Uhhh, yes! That's exactly what I'm doing. And it's very serious business. So go away or something."

Yeah right. "Uh-huh. Sure."

He groans. "Look, leave or you shall suffer the wrath of Megavolt!" 

Megavolt? What kind of name-

"What are you, deaf? I said shoo! Or I'll have to unleash all the forces of electricity! Ahahaha!"

Wow. What a loon.

"Look, Mr. Uh... Volt, I don't..." Ugh, gosh dang it. Can you stutter any louder? Pull yourself together!

"Listen here, Sparky! I don't know what kind of trick you're pulling, but if you think you can fool me with that crazy outfit of yours, then you're dead-"

I just realized Mega-guy was stiff the entire time. Some sparks form and fly around him.

"...wrong."

"Don't. Call. Me. SPARKY!"

Oh no.

Time to run.

"That's it! This is the last straw!" His intense anger was enough to have me stumble and fall on my rear. He takes this opportunity to walk closer to me. "First I can't find my goggles, then I get humiliated by Darkwing Dope, then I drop my precious light bulbs from a skyscraper, and now some jerk calls me... That!" His hands start to glow. I wince, preparing myself for my doom.

Wait... "Darkwhat who?"

The sparks die down and Megavolt slumps. "Uhh.. Darkwing Duck? The... Terror that flaps in the night?"

I blink.

"You mean to tell me you don't know who Darkwing Duck is? Gee whiz, what have you been doing your whole life? Living under a rock?"

"Well I was... I just moved in recently."

"Well aren't you missing out on all the fun..." Megavolt says ever so sarcastically. "Darkwing Duck is some jerk who sticks his bill into other people's business." He walks to the billboard behind him and starts unscrewing more bulbs(and also... talks to them?) I very hesitantly stand up and carefully make my way towards him. "He says he's a hero, but he's really just a selfish jerk."

"Hero? Like, a superhero?"

"Well he's got that stupid gas gun, if you wanna call that super..."

Superheroes? Like in the comics? And movies?  I'm in so much awe I missed his response entirely. "Superheroes... are real...? And if so, does that make you the villain...?" I point to him.

"Gee, how far out did you come from?" He examines another broken bulb whose light was out and frowns at its state.

"Well, I just moved in from Duckburg. We don't really get those sort of things there."

Turns out Megavolt was asking a rhetorical question because he responds with, "Hey, why don't you make yourself useful and unscrew the rest of these bulbs for me?"

I cross my arms. "Why should I?"

"Because..." Okay. Maybe it's time to lay off the sass. "If you don't, I'm gonna unleash all the forces of blah blah blah, weren't you listening earlier?!"

He did have a point.

I sigh and help unscrew the bulbs.

I'm probably gonna be here for a while.
