@unclescrooge liked for a starter with Joker!Launchpad.
It was months before Launchpad decided to return to the mansion. He’d been laying low in the seedier parts of Duckburg, around Beagle territory. Sure, he did a few odd jobs for Ma Beagle while he tried to work his way up in the criminal underworld, but the large drake refused to do anything relating to causing his old boss any harm. He was fond of the old duck, anyway.
A smirk lifts onto Launchpad’s scarred beak and he wonders if maybe Mr. McD would even recognize him, nevermind welcoming him back.
Chuckling darkly, a low raspy sound in his throat, he steps up to the mansion and rings the doorbell.
Scrooge opened the door to find one of the biggest shocks of his life. There before him stood his former pilot, though he recognized him instantly. He’d been on his mind more than he liked to admit.
“L-Launchpad!! Wh-what on earth happened to you?!”
Launchpad’s smirk widens into an odd grin, and he laughs. “Hehehehehe..ehh, well it’s kinda a long story Mr. McD..” A brow lifts as he looks up at the mansion then back at Scrooge. “Gee, you don’t mind if I come in, huh? I’ll tell you about the whole thing.”
“I, um, uh…I…suppose not,” Scrooge said hesitantly, yet also confident he could take him down if absolutely necessary, also as painlessly as possible. “What brings you back after all these months? Is everything alright?”

What’s so merry about it? I’ll tell you what Christmas is. It’s just another work day, and any jackanape who thinks else should be boiled in his own pudding! But sir, Christmas is a time for giving… a time to be with one’s family.
