Portal | a DuckTales story

twelve - saving most of them

Evan's POV

"And that's my newest plan to get rid of Scrooge McDuck." Glomgold smiled creepily as he ended his presentation. To be honest, I actually listened to it and thought of the flaws in the plan. I had a few ideas for him to mix things up, but his plan could actually work.

"What do you think?" He asked as I stood up and walked over to him. "It's pretty good, but I have a few suggestions on how to change it. Scrooge isn't a stupid opponent, so you need to strike at a time he wouldn't expect. Also-"

"Let him go Glomgold!" The slightly awkward voice of Huey Duck said as he and Gyro bursted through the door. I honestly didn't expect either of them to have rescued me, I assumed it'd be Launchpad or one of my friends.

"Uhm, actually... I'm okay guys. He's been annoy definitely, but I'm not hurt or anything." I reassured the two as they lowered the weapons the held. I also noticed Gyro's look of disappointment as he saw it was me.

"Oh uh, can we just take him back then?" Huey asked as he walked to Glomgold, who maniacally laughed before saying, "Never, he's my prisoner!"

"I am not your prisoner, I could walk out of here and you wouldn't do anything to stop me, so don't even. I'm only here still because I assumed someone would have gone to get me, but I wasn't expecting either of you." I turned to my rescuers, who both stared at me blankly.

"We didn't think it'd be you either. The others were all taken too, so Scrooge separated us all so we could save everyone. We didn't know who was taken by who, so we were randomly assigned." Gyro explained as I nodded. It made sense honestly.

"Alright Glomgold, you're an awful villain and I hate you, not as much as Mark Beaks, but I still hate you a lot. ¡Adios!" I waved, walking out of his "lair" with Huey and Gyro.

"So back to the lab, or...?" I asked as I noticed Huey was already ahead of Gyro and I.

"Evan, has there ever been that person in your life who seems to be alright compared to all the other annoying idiots you know?" Gyro asked as I blinked at him for a minute. "Are hinting at what I think you're hinting at or am I just going crazy?"

"I'll answer that question if you agree to help me tell her."

Tess' POV

"No. All of you stay away from me!" I screamed, running from the group of beagles that were chasing after me. Their mother had decided to scream at them again, so they decided kidnapping me would be the most effective way for them to receive attention.

"Can we at least get your name?" "Or a hug?" "Anything at all?" "Please??" "NOOO!!!"

I did not ask for this, I just want to be back at the lab, helping Fenton pick up papers that he accidentally dropped while Brynne and Gyro hopelessly try to flirt. That's my normal now, and I do not want to even think about getting used to this.

One of them was able to grab my leg and I was pulled into a huddle of beagles who all began to hug me. If one of them even thought about licking my face, I swear I'd throw up right here.

"Can we get your name now?" One of them asked with a smile on his face. I sighed and shrugged. If someone was coming to save me, I'd have to buy time and distract all of them so, I guess I'll just have to figure something out.

"My name is Tess..." I said with a smile before I felt a tap on my shoulder. Three others were behind me and one of them grinned and asked, "Are you single?"

"I- uh..." "If yes, would you consider going to with m- one of us?" He asked with a smirk forming across his face.

OH. HELL. NO.
