Gosalyn's Gambit
Epilogue
EPILOGUE
It was finally done. That it had been an interesting spring was something Honker could not deny in the least. Mind controlling pollen, giant cleaning robots, and of course incest. He sighed as he focused on sorting the myriad of arrows; it was busy work he under took when he just wanted a little quiet thinking time. He still had a lot to think about. Had he done the right thing? He had after all been a willing accomplice in what was at best just paedophilia and at worst, paedophilia, incest and statutory rape. He did not like to think the sort of prison time that lands one. He heard footsteps.
"There you are Honker.”
"Oh hey Gosalyn I was just..."
"Yeah I can see what you're doing, hiding from basic drills again. Nice try" her arms were folded in that typical 'caught you with your hand in the cookie jar' facial expression.
"No, no that's not-"
She smiled, "Anyway, get your butt in gear we've got a roof top scavenger course to run"
Those courses were not so much his favourite. Darkwing would set out somewhat of a random scavenger hunt of clues for them to follow and solve in a given time period. Usually twenty-four hours. Of late, he seemed to be focusing less on combat and safety practice and more on honing their deductive and analytical skills.
"Yes Gosalyn" he knew there was no point in trying to declare himself innocent, besides the fresh air might help clear is thoughts. He started to put away the arrows in proper fashion, when he felt something soft bounce off the back of his head and turned just in time to see Gosalyn departing.
"Don't keep me waiting" were she parting words.
He looked down at what had struck him. It was a rolled up into a ball, bundled and held in shape by two rubber bands. He reached out, he knew what it was the moment he touched it, but still he eagerly tore off the rubber bands that kept it bundled. A minute later, he was in full uniform, suited, geared and darting out of the base at a speed. Later he'd recall he forgot to pick up the item, Gosalyn would be furious with him for leaving them laying around the base, after all those were her favourite pair of white and red polka dot panties.
It was going to be an interesting Summer.
