Spells and Louds
Chapter 284: Things to talk about.
(Spellman Estate.)
After some hard talks about yesterday, almost all the Royal Defenders are now under some heavy grounding, they had to endure their parents scolding towards them, but they all had to take it with responsibility.
They are all grounded for the next two weeks, but they're not grounded from being heroes, unless Neil says so.
Leni is grounded for two weeks, she can still go to work but she will be monitored over and she can't be able to see Loni during her grounding.
Lori is grounded for two weeks, she has been blocked from calling and/or texting Bobby, she can't go to places using Vanzilla and Veronica and she has to do a lot of chores while being grounded.
Dana and Becky are both grounded for two weeks, can't hang out with friends after school and have to do some extra chores.
Carol is grounded for two weeks, can't hang out with friends, not allowed to drive her car and has to work double time at Lynn's Table.
Sam is grounded for two weeks, can't do anything romantic with Luna, grounded from rehearsals, and is not allowed to have her MP3 player.
Bobby is also undergoing the same punishment as Lori, but he now has to do more work in the Mercado.
Same with Lori.
Lincoln and Linka have been left off the hook, they didn't drink anything spiked and/or caused any trouble.
Luna has been left off easy, sort of. She is grounded till the end of April, has to do more chores around the house and can't use her MP3 or her instruments. Neil and Gwen were proud at how she took full responsibility to search for Lincoln and Linka.
They also needed to talk to Boomer about this, and his punishment for making this stupid prank is terrifying.
(Royal Fortress."
"What happens next is all on you!" said Martin.
Boomer struggles and tries to speak through his gag.
"Can't hear you asshole!" Victor pushes the button and a countdown is set.
Boomer is strapped to a Vacuum imploder and a nuclear missile. And it launches into the air.
Martin, Victor and Jack Cyber use binoculars. "Three …. Two …. One! Now!"
Penny uses her blade array to launch a large blast and annihilate the two warheads in midflight high above in the earth's atmosphere.
The blast is nuclear, but then the radiation is sucked into the vacuum and then it dissipates. Then they see a figure falling into the water.
They use their binoculars and see Boomer floating and raising his arm with a thumbs up.
"Someone go get him" said Martin.
"Permission to blast him while I'm at it?" asked Jack Cyber.
"Go nuts man" replied Victor.
Jack Cyber transforms into a submarine and dives into the water, torpedoes locked on!
"I hope Boomer learned something from all this" said Penny.
"Same" replied Martin.
"I wonder how the others are doing" said Victor.
(Spellman Estate.)
Lincoln is sitting by himself in his room on the beanbag chair going through some reports on recent light Hybrid invasions in the Koprulu sector.
Then Luna comes in and sits next to him. "Hey bro."
"Hey sis" replied Lincoln.
Luna sighs. "Bro, I need to know-"
"You wanna know why I wasn't fully disgusted by you breast fed me while you were drunk and delusional?" asked Lincoln.
"Yeah, how come you weren't horrid by what I did?! It felt wrong and I feel horrible for doing it!" Luna then starts to cry.
Lincoln stops his report reading and hugs her. "Luna, please stop."
They both stay like this for several minutes, and then Luna stops crying.
"Luna, you have been watching over me, holding me till I was calm and at peace, you held me when I was a baby, you were there for me when I was at my weakest and you had my back and cared for me. Like a …. Like a mom would do, and that's why I wasn't fully disgusted by what you did. Also, I did some tech and scan run a few days ago with McKenzie, he said that I may have a small problem" said Lincoln.
"A-And what's that?" asked Luna as she wipes her tears.
"After all we've been through. I may have a sort of personality disorder, but it's not that serious, just mild" replied Lincoln.
Luna couldn't believe what she was hearing. "W-What?"
Lincoln then looks to Luna. "Luna, who was it you saw when I was asleep and you were drunk?"
"My baby …. Baby bro!" Luna realized it.
"At that point, you were tending to the Lincoln who was very young and years younger than a toddler, and Linka has that conflict within her as well. We never told anyone because we didn want anyone to worry. Whenever we're in action that's when the grown up takes over, whenever school or homework is up the responsible kid takes hold, whenever we have some fun the fun seven year old wants in along with that eleven year old mind."
"Whenever we bond with the guardian siblings, then the eleven year old who needs some guidance takes over, and finally. When either Linka or myself are threatened with fear and scarred moments, then who takes over?" asked Lincoln.
Luna then hugs him. "The baby sibs that need help the most! So all this time, you and Linka had these personality disorders?"
"We did, ever since …. Ever since I went through the bad luck fiasco and Linka faced hers" replied Lincoln. He then returns the hug.
"Oh bro! I'm so sorry you and Linka re undergoing through that" said Luna as she hugs him tighter.
"Everything's gonna be okay Luna. Martin said that this disorder will fade once we hit puberty, well he hopes it will" replied Lincoln. "And I told him not to tell anyone."
Luna and Lincoln both remain in each other's embrace, but he doesn't know that Luna brought a small speaker so Leni can also figure it out.
At Leni's room, she is currently hugging Linka and both shed some tears.
Neil sits in the hallway leaning his back to the wall, he overheard this. 'Oh my sweet fucking god! Why?'
He has to tell Gwen about this, and they cannot tell anyone else. Even if they're twin children have this small personality disorder, they have to be there for them.
Neil then heads into the kitchen and he sees Gwen making some lemonade. "Gwen" she stops and looks to him.
"We need to talk, alone" said Neil.
Gwen is confused but she does so anyway, Courage takes place and makes the lemonade.
Neil and Gwen head into their bedroom. "So, what's going on?"
Neil sits on the bed. "Gwen, I overheard Luna and Lincoln talk and they said something that they didn't tell us about what happened yesterday."
"Okay, what is it?" asked Gwen.
Neil then tells her about what had happened, and what Leni and Luna did to Lincoln and Linka while they were drunk and Gwen is at a loss for words. He then tells her why Lincoln and Linka weren't fully disgusted by it.
Gwen is now leaning next to the walk-in closet. "So, we just have to be there for them, all of them. And we cannot tell anyone else."
"That's the plan" replied Neil. "I was also thinking maybe we should let them go one day without some grounding." He then sits next to Gwen.
Gwen smiles. "Family bonding on Saturday, with my mom and brother and your mom. That does sound like a good idea."
"Yeah, I like that idea too. They can find some joy and less problems through some true family bonding, and we can bring along Duchess, Leon, Sergei, Loona, the pups and Sabrina" replied Neil.
"Speaking of Sabrina, I overheard you having a nice conversation with her, what did she want?" asked Gwen.
"No clue, she told me she wanted to talk to me about something important. Also she almost let loose a troll army to Greendale, thank goodness she stopped them" replied Neil.
Gwen chuckles. "No matter where we go or what dimension we're at, Spellman is the one thing that seems to be dealing with hardships and handling troubles."
"I guess that's how it all started, with my dad, who was a witch and also king of the witch realm. There are still so many things I never truly knew about him" replied Neil. "I should've gotten him something better than that apron for his birthday."
"Speaking of birthdays, Duchess's birthday is coming up soon" said Gwen.
"Yeah I know, our little black swan is gonna be 16 on April thirty. They grow up so fast" Neil wipes away a tear as he cries a bit.
Gwen leans her head onto his shoulder. "Neil, you didn't raise her or even spend her childhood with her."
"I know, it just feels right to think of that. I already have an idea what to do for her birthday" said Neil.
"You always know what to do, planning, preparing, tactical measurements, resources even at the lowest, investigating and most of all, caring for those who need help the most" said Gwen.
"Yeah, and the one thing that I am not quite sure about being happy. Is the day is, the day it all happened. How we all came to be" said Neil.
Gwen looks to him. "You're talking about the day Lincoln, Leni, Luna and Lily became part of this family right, we're close to one year of their new life, with us."
"Yeah, and I fear it could strike pain and sadness within the Loud family, but that road won't reach us till the end of summer, the next school year" said Neil.
Gwen then kisses Neil on the cheek and hugs him. "Whatever happens Neil, I know we're all gonna get through that day, Spellmans and Louds together."
Neil puts an arm around her. "Yeah, I hope so."
They stay silent like that, until they hear the doorbell ring. "And the moment is ruined" said Neil.
Gwen chuckles and they both get up. They both head downstairs and see Sunset come out of the kitchen. "Are we expecting company?"
"Not sure" replied Neil. He opens the door and sees it was his mom Diane. "Mom? I thought you were in Egypt by now."
"Well, I came back since tomorrow we're having this big family get together. So, where are the kids?" asked Diane.
"Leni and Luna are grounded, and almost half the Royal Defenders" replied Gwen.
Diane was shocked by this. "What? Why?"
Neil picks up her bag. "That is a long, long story."
(FutureTech HQ, Royal Fortress.)
Martin and Victor have already dealt with Boomer, and what they did to him afterwards is tied him to his Airship's propeller and let him spend one hour getting one hell of a spin.
Martin heads to the FutureTech base and gets back to work on analyzing on some dinosaur DNA.
"So, we planning on bringing back some dinosaurs?" asked Victoria.
Martin then puts all the files away. "Nope, we are not making the same mistake as Dr. Hammond, we'd end up in chaos if that happens."
"Good choice, so what next chief?" asked Jack Cyber who comes in.
Martin is about to say something, but then he gets a call from Pyrrha. "I wonder what she wants." He puts her on speaker. "What is it Guardian's apprentice?"
"Nice one" chuckled Victor.
Pyrrha: Martin, I haven't seen the Guardian since two days ago, he hasn't answered my calls and I can't track his energy signature.
This made them all worried, Penny arrives and hears this as well. "What did Gyro do before he left?"
Pyrrha: Right now I'm in his study and I'm looking at this odd toad warrior creature. He won't tell me where the guardian went, I think he went off to another dimension to scout, but I think he needs some help.
Martin looks to his allies with him. "Alright then, Pyrrha I'll be there soon. We can sort this all our together."
Pyrrha: Thank you Martin, I'll be waiting and also try to get this toad warrior to talk.
Martin then hangs up. "Okay, Jack Cyber you're with me, we're gonna head to Karazhan and sort out this missing Guardian thing."
"Okay" replied Jack Cyber.
"The rest of you do not tell the other Royal Defenders of what we're doing, but if they insist on asking where we are then tell them the truth and that we can handle it" said Martin to the others.
"Okay Martin" said Penny.
"You got it man" replied Victor.
Martin and Jack Cyber then head out of the base and head for the Great Gate. Martin locks in the coordinates of Azeroth using his tablet and they go through.
To be continued …..
