Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 2

Chapter 24: Deathblade

Ellie knocked on Gloria and Gyro's suite door with Mark and Boyd behind her.

"Ummm, like, are you sure you want them to babysit Boyd tonight? After you and Gloria's "cat fight"? That bitch wanted to slice youuuu. #wack."

"Please stop with the cursing in front of Boyd." She warned. "But yes. We made up at the spa today with Miss Glamour's assistance. I believe we are finally close friends. Permanently this time around."

Mark looked up from his phone. "...what the hell is up with women?"

Gloria opened the door and smiled at all of them (except Mark because fuck him) "Hey, Ellie!"

"Hello! I hope you and Gyro are having a wonderful evening." She smiled back.

"We are, thanks... Is there something that you guys needed orrrrr...?" Gloria trailed off. She wasn't sure why all three of them were here.

"We came by to take you up on your offer to babysit Boyd." Ellie nudged Boyd forward.

"Oh! I mean... okay?" She did offer but she figured it would be something to do in the future... not 5 hours later! "Why do you need us to babysit him? Do you guys have plans?"

Mark rolled his eyes at Gloria. Were they friends that promised to stop fighting? Yes. But whatever. Mark was an asshole to everyone. "Yeahhhhh? That's none of your #business."

Ellie was aware Mark's comment was really stupid and decided to answer for the both of them. "We have not had time alone together for a while and Boyd seems to really enjoy your presence."

"Okay sure! Is there anything I need to know about Boyd? Like his bedtime or something?"

"Let the kid do whatever he wants." Mark shrugged.

Ellie eyed him. "Absolutely not." She looked back at Gloria. "His bedtime is at 8 post meridiem. And he needs vegetables included for dinner."

"Alright that's easy. Anything else?"

Mark shook his head "nah" but Ellie took her time to think. "No Pop Tarts or any other sweets. He gets extremely hyper on sugar and could possibly damage himself or someone else. Or very expensive objects."

Mark looked up at Ellie with an "oh shit" expression. "Wait forreal?"

She nodded. "Yes. I just know." Mother radar for plot. Also she had done research and found that was common for most children, especially for Boyd since he was built to be exactly like a child. "Well, we will be off. Thank you so much, Gloria. We should "hang out", as friends say, sometime in the near future."

"No problem, Ellie! Have fun on your dateeeeeee!" Gloria sang the word "date" before waving them off. She opened the door wider so Boyd could come in. "Hey Boyd!"

He scuttled in before spinning in circles to look around the room. "Woooowwwwww, Aunt Gloria! Your suite looks just like mine!"

Gloria closed the door behind him and watched his little chaotic body run around. "Did you have sugar or something?"

"I had a lot of pop tarts and an entire cake today!"

"Wow! Your mother has such a large variety of novels." Ellie clasped her hands together as the two roamed around the private library. She had insisted on going to find picture books for Boyd even though the whole point of having him be babysat was so they could be romantic. That's what Mark had thought anyway but Ellie must've been on another page. Now he was stuck in a dusty library, sneezing and coughing. Some of the dust was even getting on his phone so his selfies looked all messed up. His mom never read so why she had a library was a mystery. Probably because it was a mansion aesthetic.
