44She raised Fenton without anyone else. No husband by her side, no parents by her side, no one by her side. Just her and her Pollito. In her language, it meant little chick.
She was a single mom that went through hell and back to have a job, a home, money, a good job and afford an education for her Pollito. She loved her son to the moon and beyond, maybe a bit too much. Her boy had made her proud. Fenton Crackshell Cabrera was her whole world.
So they had to find him. They had to find her son. And then she will kill him for being an idiot.
She wasn't stupid. Stupidity did not put her were she was. She was a police officer, and one with a high rank. She knew it had been her son in that suit of armor the moment he stepped in and protected her and the boy from the falling wall. She saw the suit deattach itself from Mark Beaks and attach to Fenton.
The whole ordeal worried her, specially if the suit was going to self-destruct. But she said nothing. She trusted he could handle it. But she said nothing.
And now she paying the price.
Her son was missing, possibly dead and she didn't stop him. What kind of a mother was she!? That should have been her in the suit. Now he was probably gone. She'll probably never see him again and it was her fault. Her fault and possibly whoever created the suit, to which she had a suspicion it was that jerk of a scientist, Gyro Gearloose.
Oh, he was going to be missing more than just gears when she was done with him.
"Officer Cabrera! We found him!"
OOO
"...Mamá?"
She raised her head. "Pollito!" She kissed him.
"I think I was fired. I was definitely fired."
She knew he was fired by Gearloose. God, she was starting to hate that rooster.
"Rest now."
Then Mr. McDuck came in. She knew what he was going to talk about with her son, so she just let them be.
"Try to get money out of him, he's loaded." Oh, she loved embarrassing him. Scrooge glared at her, but said nothing. She knew how to keep a secret.
She had a few days off from work. So she was going to put that time into good use.
OOO
Fenton walked into the lab with his arm still in a cast and a bag on his other shoulder to pick his things from his lab (aka the bathroom). He gulped as he greeted Manny and Lil Bulb and made his way towards Gyro, whose back was facing him.
He smiled nervously. He knew the scientist was still mad at him. "Good morning, Dr. Gearloose."
"Cabrera." Gyro turned.
Fenton winced. "What happened to your eye, sir?"
Gyro tried to glare, but his left eye hurt too much to do so. "Do you happen to know an Officer Cabrera?" He scartched his chin. "Brown feathers, badge around her neck, attractive features?"
Fenton arched a brow at the use of the word 'attactive' to describe his mamá, but decided he was in no place to question the rooster at the moment. "Yes...?"
Gyro pointed at his swollen eye. "Well, this is how I met your mother!"
"I am terribly sorry for this!" Fenton panicked. "If had known I would have stopped her!"
"She called me hijo de puta."
Fenton blushed at the choice of words his mamá had used to describe Gyro. He looked down.
"She also called me cabrón. And bastardo." He took a piece of paper out. "I also wrote down a bit of a sentence or two that I'm pretty sure were colorful insults. She said Espero que te mueras maldito pendejo. To which she added Que te pudras en el infiernoAnd then she punched me in the eye. What does that even mean? You speak Spanish, so I want an explanation, Cabrera!"
Fenton chewed at cheeks.
"Cabrera? I'm waiting." said Gyro a bit impatiently.
"She called you son of a bitch, idiot and bastard. Specifically in that order. As for the sentences, are you sure you want to know?"
"Yes!"
"She said she hopes you die, you imbecile. And the second line she said she hopes you root in hell."
They stared at each other for a few seconds before Gyro flipped over the table in anger, scattering everything around the floor. "What did I even do to your mother!?"
"I don't know!"
Manny tapped his hooves on the floor and got his message through.
"Of course she did." Fenton rubbed his eyes.
"So you're saying she figured out Cabrera is Gizmodork and that I invented the armor. Figures." He turned to Fenton. "I was going to tell you I would let you keep your unpaid internship as a part-time, but now I'm not so sure."
Fenton was about to say something when Scrooge McDuck walked into the lab. "Good morning, gentleman-whoa!" Scrooge stopped his greeting and looked at Gyro's eye. "That looks bad, lad."
"I know."
"What happened?"
"His mother. Gorgeous woman. Hell of a fist. That's what happened. End of story."
"Stop saying that about my mom! It's making me nervous!"
Scrooge looked at Manny and Lil Bulb as both doctor and intern argued. "Did Ah' miss anything?"
Hi guys! It's been a while! But I want to leave something clear, I don't PM and if I don't continue a story, I have a life outside fanfiction, I don't have all the time in the world and I will appreciate it if I was not pushed. Because I'm being pushed, that's how I feel. My last stories I have kept short because of time. If I publish something long, its because I had time. I've had some people pushing me into writing and PM and its becoming stressful. I can't write without thinking who wants to push me again. And for good measure, I've been insulted a few times. So please, on behalf of me and other writers who seriously don't have a lot of time, please be patient.That said, I hope you guys liked this bit. I always viewed Gyro as old as Fenton's mom and we've seen him treating Fenton like a kid many times. I am planning on developing that hint I left about Gyro finding Mamá attractive, but again, PATIENCE. And I'm just planning. I haven't written anything yet. And thank you.
