Q's Bayou Adventure Pt.1

Adopting to his new lifestyle was a rough task at first, but he had gotten used to it. Q, a man trapped in an owl's body, now had his predatory nature down pat, swooping down on unsuspecting rodents in New York

What he did not know was that today, an assembly of rodents was gathering near the United Nations. It was the Rescue Aid Society, a group of mice devoted to helping anyone in need. Based around the tale of the mouse and the lion with a thorn in its paw, the mice ensured no one was alone in their troubles.

Q may have not known about the assembly at first, but he did notice a lot of mice scurrying about New York's streets. He waited on a perch high above, removing the thimbles Zephyrus had given him. They were great for everyday uses, but when he hunted, he had to leave them on a perch. Eying two mice scurrying off, Q swooped down and lifted the two mice up, one in each talon.

He was used to his prey squeaking in terror, he had long since learned to ignore it, but he had not expected voices.

"Put me down you big jerk!"

Q's grip loosened immediately in shock. The rats began to tumble to the road below, but Q quickly swooped them up again, this time to rescue them.

"I sure hope I didn't catch one of those muppets again," thinks Q as he drops the mice safely on his perch.

The two mice were Bernard and Miss Bianca. Bianca was a Hungarian mouse and an agent of the society, whereas Bernard was a janitor conscripted by her to be her co-agent for the mission. They had just found a lead on their case. They explained all this to Q, who understood their plight and was intrigued by the Society's missions to help anyone who needed it.

"Well, I do apologize for scooping you up, but now it seems I might need your help myself. You see, I am not supposed to be an owl. I was somehow turned into one."

Bernard and Bianca looked at each other in disbelief. Bernard speaks up, "Well, Mr. Q, I don't know much about transforming, but if you help us with our mission, maybe we can help you with your troubles too."

Bianca laughed. "Of course we will help you dear, we just need to find the little girl first. Her name is Penny. She is a little orphan who some crazy lady took to Devil's Bayou."

"I have never heard of that place, but if you tell me the way, I could fly you there. All I ask is that someone from your society helps me after your mission is complete."

"You've got a deal Mr. Owl! I mean... Q" Bernard quickly climbs aboard Q's back, pulling Bianca up. The group flies off to Devil's Bayou, seeking the young orphan Penny.
