Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Shadows of Legends. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Ducktales, Disney and Jymn Magon do.
(Duckberg.)
Webby found Marvin in the park reading a book… several books, in a higher branch of the tree she saw him in before.
"MARVIN!" Webby watched the teen blink and then look up from his book.
"'oh, hi Marvin! How are you? I'm fine, Webby, what's up with you.' that would have worked fine." He didn't notice Webby's shadow cock an eyebrow at the teen's snark as he dropped his bag onto the grass then grabbed the tree branch.
Huey, Dewey and Louie watched as he swung around the branch, once, then twice and released at the zenith of his arc and somersaulted before landing in front of the group.
"What's up?" He asked as he brushed off his jacket.
"You remember Scrooge having Nephews?" Marvin raised an eyebrow and Webby rolled her eyes.
Marvin was always trying to joke, whether is was funny or not, he had a mouth that never stopped talking.
"Wait… WAIT… YOUR HUEY, DEWEY AND LOUIE!?" Marvin asked as Webby nodded.
"Well…. I do not know what to say. Webs, how'd you know I'd be in the park? I didn't call you or anything." Marvin looked at his phone which was still within the tree.
"I saw you while I was going home?" Webby asked. Marvin chuckled before looking at the trio.
"Part of me wants to geek out over meeting the nephews of one of the best adventurers of all time…" Marvin brushed off his jacket.
"An autograph is 50 bucks." Louie said and Marvin hummed before he smirked again.
"The other part of me didn't know how to open a conversation… Your Louie, that would make Huey the one with the journal and Dewey is blue. You guys do know you're in Scrooge's autobiography? I still question why my dad buys books like that, seriously. I can't believe a biologist is my father." He saw Dewey raise an eyebrow before Webby spoke up.
Marvin did ramble at a few times, but he did always show signs of growing out of it when he was younger.
"Marvin is here with his aunt and uncle… His mom and dad are back in Ireland." Webby stated before Marvin hummed.
"My mom is a millionaire, not nearly as much as Scrooge… Not yet, but she's getting there. She runs the Canvasback Corporation. I met Webs here on one of her business meetings with Scrooge. I… those were fun times." Marvin hummed as he remembered when he was 10.
That was a fun time. He waved his hand before blinking and Webby remembered something.
"Didn't you mom just leave the military?" She asked before Marvin tilted his head.
"You mean special forces as a major? Yes, she did. I could show you the photos of her in battle. Mom and dad are back home watching the company with Mikey and… Milo. I came back cause of your letter. I also kind of wanted some space from the circus that is the Canvasback Clan. I love my family, but their nuts with their antics." Marvin waved his hand after this as if it was of no importance.
"Anyway, what have you been up to, Webs? I haven't seen you in 6 years and your still barely taller than before." He joked before Webby slugged him in the arm before he chuckled.
"Your right hook has been gotten tougher though. I think that's going to bruise." He hummed before he walked to the side.
"I was reading a book on magic relics. I was looking for a scepter that was hidden underground. I was going to ask if you guys wanted to find it. I might not be much into magic; you can't easily beat the circuits and chips of high tech… but I don't hate all the spells and such." Marvin said before he flicked a switch and looked at the others.
He fired a hook from his crossbow which ripped through the branch before pulling him back into the tree.
"I'm going to go home and grab some tech before going to do some exploring. I'll see you around, Webs." Marvin grabbed his satchel around his shoulder before waving and walking out of the park.
"So… You brought us in to talk with your friend who DOESN'T want to talk with us?" Huey asked before Webby rolled her eyes.
"You're the nephew of Scrooge McDuck. Marvin doesn't really know how to react to other people… I'm kind of the first friend he had, so he's not much of a people person. You just need to get to know him. like Lena." The last part made Webby look down at the ground.
Once again, another reaction from her 'shadow' that went unnoticed.
Neither Marvin, nor Webby… knew that someone would return and that among many other things, there was a fight coming to Duckberg.
Then again, neither had any real way of knowing anyway.
Author Note
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out right after this? I'm going to go to the show chapters like the return of Della Duck. Marvin is also going to go on his adventures… But I want your input if I should have Della appear next chapter or not. After Lena appears? The story will slow down. next chapter is in a week on Tuesday or so and will show Marvin chatting with Webby and meeting Scrooge. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
