Hey guys, welcome back to another installment of my ongoing crossover. Here we'll see another time skip of two months, we're finally at the end of the school year along with things somethings developing.
A few weeks ago was the 20th anniversary since the release of the first X-Men movie, along with Sir Patrick Stewart's birthday. I wanted this chapter to be published by either one of those days but I didn't have enough time.
Now with that said and done, let's dive in to another chapter.
Chapter 13: A Night Out
It's been a year since Lincoln Loud brutally attacked two teens in a public park in Royal Woods and several Sentinel and police officers and ran off, along with several other mutants fleeing town too. Sentinel Services immediately sent out a nationwide search for these mutants, but found nothing.
With twelve months of searching and coming out empty handed, it surely can't lead to anything good, and it didn't.
Agent Fowler was called to the White House for a special meeting with the president in the Oval office. The president was not happy.
"How long has it been since the boy disappeared?", asked the president as he was looking out the window with his back to Fowler.
"Almost a year, sir", replied the Sentinel leader.
"A year. 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months ...and did you find him?"
"N-no sir. But we've been having the..."
"You couldn't find him", the president said interrupting Fowler, "Out of everything you tried, a whole year and you couldn't find him. How could you be that stupid? You've got a responsibility."
"I know."
The president then turned around and looked at Fowler with a disappointed look on his face, "That's it. It's over."
"Uh, sir I don't know what you mean?"
"The search is off."
Fowler was shocked, "What?"
"You've been looking for almost a year and couldn't find any of them. That's hundreds of thousands of taxpayers dollars down the drain."
"Sir, please, this boy is a menace to society."
"And was there any threat to the safety of anyone by any mutant in the past year? Let alone by anyone who fits the description of that boy you flagged?"
"No, but..."
"Then this search party of yours is a big waste of time and money. As soon as this conversation is over, your search is terminated."
"Please. Mr. President you can't..."
"Say what you want Fowler, but my minds made up. Just be lucky you still have your position."
Folwer was in such shock with the president's decision. The sentinel leader stormed out of the room clearly in distress.
He knew that he couldn't just let a boy like Weapon X be on the loose, or any mutant like that. But even though he was no longer required to find him through the president, he's still going to continue his search for the mutant on his own, and use his own way. After all, the president said that he's still head of Sentinel Services. This spells bad news for any mutant.
The next morning, up in the Hollywood Hills, Lincoln is in a good mood this morning. He was just lying on his bed, enjoying the morning in his undies putting the finishing touches on one of his famous Clincoln McCloud comics with the Swae Lee and Post Malone song, Sunflower playing on his bedside phone charger radio.
This comic was about a group of kids and teens with amazing gifts, trying to be excepted by others and helping those in need.
Lincoln was so focused on his comic and the music playing he didn't hear Carol knocking on the door.
"Lincoln."
He didn't answer as he was focused on his comic and even muttering the song's lyrics.
"Lincoln."
He still didn't respond.
"Lincoln!"
Lincoln jumped, this time he did hear her as he turned down the music, "Yeah?"
"Are almost ready?"
Lincoln looked down at himself as he was far from ready, "Yes...", he put his comic away and quickly threw on his clothes. After he got dressed, he hurried upstairs.
Once Lincoln entered the living room, he saw everyone getting ready for the day. Today was the last day of school.
Clyde and Sid were some of the first ones ready. Clyde was showing Sid a hilarious internet video song on his phone:
When your feeling kind of down,
And your craving something brown,
Eat chocolate!
Both Sid and Clyde started laughing hysterically.
But their laughter was quickly shut when Lynn then jumped on the couch still in her pj's right next to them, "You lame-o's better get ready for school."
"What about you?", asked Sid.
"I'm done."
"What?", asked Clyde.
"The day of your last final is your last day of school."
"Oh, so you and the high schoolers get an early vacation start."
"Yup. Now beat it, I recorded last night's major league baseball game. Unless you two wanna skip today and watch, always need an extra hand for my good luck rituals."
Neither Clyde nor Sid wanted to partake in any of this, since how far Lynn got with Lincoln that god awful time.
"I'm gonna pass", Clyde said, "I still have a reputation of not missing a single day of school and I'm not gonna break it today."
Clyde then poofed away to finish getting ready, "I should probably help him with... uh, last minute... school goodbye gifts", Sid said and turned invisible as she headed back to her room.
Lynn simply shrugged this off. Margo and Francisco were sleeping in today so she's gonna do her rituals solo. But she then had a feeling in her gut that the effects of last night's school baseball championship victory at Hurricane Grill Wings about to take full blast. She then runs to the bathroom.
With Lynn not hogging the TV or the living room this morning, Lisa levitated the remote to herself before anyone else could claim it.
They young genius girl then turned on the TV to CBS Morning News to be immediately meet with some very surprising news, "This morning, President Gideon has called off the search of the mutant boy who attacked several people in Royal Woods, Michigan."
Lisa was surprised, "It's over?"
"After a year since the attacks in Royal Woods and even an attack at a bodega in Great Lakes City, the President has ordered the end of the nation-wide manhunt to find the boy or any of his mutant accomplices effective immediately", the anchorwomen stated.
Lisa was at a complete loss for words, "It's finally over!", she said softly. Now her brother and the rest of the group are no longer wanted mutants. Now with an opportunity, she knew she had to seize the moment. She didn't want to wait for another possible risk for any anti-mutant law enforcement to target her siblings.
Lisa quickly headed downstairs to her lab to her computer.
Royal Woods schools were already done for the summer.
Since the fall, it had become the capital for anti-mutant rallies, led by Royal Wood's own Wilbur Huggins. Huggins was beginning to make a public name for himself as the anti-mutant principle activist. His mutant test and watch rules he started started to spreed to other public schools across the country, mostly to one of his life-long friend, Robert Kelly. Kelly's a U.S. Senator who shared in Huggins' anti-mutant platform. Huggins and Kelly were even in the process of proposing a new bill to protect all the country from any immanent mutant threat.
But never the less, now with school over, the Loud kids were taking it easy.
Lola and Lily got another local TV commercial with Leni as their assistant while Luan was at Dairyland on a date with Benny as they were having a special first day of summer sale on tickets and Lucy was at a poetry convention.
The commercial shoot was at the Flip's Food Fuel, shocking that Flip would spend money on an actual commercial that he could have made himself really cheap yet very bad. But it was a commercial shoot, something Lola would never say no to and Lily just wanted to have fun with her sister.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Your stars of Royal Woods are here!", Lola announced herself and Lily as they arrived at Flip's.
"Ah, there's our little stars", the director welcomed them, "You two can just head inside. You two miss", he said to the girls along with Leni as the three went inside the convenient store.
However once they were inside, they were surprised to find that there were no cameras, or any filming equipment, "Hey, where's like the movie stuff?", Leni asked.
Then they heard the clicking of a gun. The girls turned around to find the director holding the gun and pointed it directly at Leni. Even the rest of the supposed film crew were also holding guns, pointed at the girls. Soon all three of them were surrounded by a few SWAT guys. It was a trap.
"Put your hands on your heads. Now!"
Leni and Lola complied as the two put their hands on their heads and then kneed on the floor. Lily also did the same despite to her being a toddler.
"What is this?", Lola asked.
"Shut up mutant scum!", a SWAT men said as the others approached her and Leni with some kind of dog collar.
"That collar dose not match my dress", Leni stated in disgust, "I am not wearing that."
"Well too bad sweetheart", the SWAT guy put the collar around Leni and when it locked shut, Leni completely disappeared and the collar simply fell to the floor.
Everyone was shocked, except Lola.
"What was that?!", the director yelled at Lola, "Where'd she go?", Lola only smirked, "Talk you little shit!"
"I'm not a little shit! And I'm not just a cute little girl", in a split second, Lola popped her diamond claws and stabbed the man in the face.
Seeing this, the others started opening firing at Lola. While she did get hit twice, her wounds healed and none of the bullets could break any of her bones which appeared to also be diamond hard before her flesh grew back. The now enraged little beauty pageant queen jumped stabbed another. Even leaping from one to another slashing and stabbing, severing limbs and even pulling a Mike Tyson and biting good chunk out of some.
After taking out the remaining armed men in the customary manner, Leni and Lily then entered Flip's, "Hey Lola", she was clearly oblivious of what Lola just went through as she saw the bloody bodies on the ground and Lola still breathing heavily with her claws covered in blood, "Whoa, is this the commercial?"
Lola was confused, "What? That wasn't really you or Lily?"
"Oh, did I do it again?"
"Yes!"
Turns out that Leni made a duplicate of herself and Lily when she took Lily to the bathroom. Then they heard the sounds of police sirens coming.
"Oh no! We gotta get out of here!", Lola then dragged Leni and Lily out of the convenient store before the cops arrived.
While running, they accidental ran into Flip, who appeared to be all distraught. "Flip?"
"What? No", Flip replied.
At that second, Flip's body began to change. 'He' morphed into their sister Luan.
"Luan? Your Flip?", Leni asked.
"No! I turned into Flip", Luan said upset, "They didn't know it was me."
"Who?", asked Lola.
"Sentinel agents! After Dairyland, me and Benny went to pick up Lucy at her poetry convention. When we walked home, Lucy got shot with a dart and then these agents jumped out of nowhere and even shot Benny. He told me to run, so I did. I ran out of there and I saw Flip on his way back to his store, so I turned into him so they wouldn't get me."
The girls couldn't believe it, "They got Lucy?"
Luan nodded, "And Benny", Luan began to cry. Leni then pulled her little sister into a comforting hug.
"It's okay Luan."
"I can't forgive myself for leaving them", Luan cried.
"Luan if you stayed they would've take you too."
"I think we're gonna be taken too if we stay here", Lola said, "Come on!"
Leni and Luan with Lily then headed back to the house were they all packed their some of their stuff, including Mr. Coconuts, Mr. Sprinkles, and of course Bun-Bun, all while Lola quickly changed out of her gown covered in blood. Before they headed out, they left their father with a goodbye letter explaining their situation
With everything they need, the left home but with only one thing left, "What's the escape plan?", Luan asked about how their planning to skip town.
Trying to come up with a plan, Lola then saw a car pull up at a stop light nearby. She then got an idea.
The man driving the car was completely relaxed as he waited for the light to turn, then all of a sudden Lola popped up from under the window with her claws out and pointed at the driver, "GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR! GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR RIGHT NOW MAN!" The driver was panicking like crazy as Lola smashed the window in with her claws, "GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR! DO IT DO IT DO IT I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR!", Lola then dragged the driver out as he quickly crawled away as Lola and her sisters jumped in. "Drive!"
"But I don't have a driver's license!", Leni said.
"I said drive!", Lola shouted.
Leni then floored it and the car speed on out of there.
"Did we really just carjack someone?!", Luan asked in distress.
"Well it was either that or get arrested!"
"We're gonna get arrested!"
"No we're not!"
"Where are we going?", Leni asked.
"We're going to Fairway. Hopefully Lori can help us."
"Are you sure Lori can help?"
"Of course, Leni. When hasn't she?"
Leni didn't bother arguing with Lola as Lori did always help them. She followed her little sister's orders and kept driving southwest towards Great Lakes City.
Kids were going crazy at the middle school as they were so eager to get started on the summer. Since today was the last day of the school year, it was only a day that's just an hour-long homeroom, to get last minute yearbook signatures and say either good-bye for fuck you to their fellow classmates.
Lincoln and his friends all had the same homeroom. They didn't really make any new friends while there as they kept all to themselves together.
"Hi, Lincoln!", Lincoln looked up to see a girl classmate of his.
"Uh, hey Amelia."
"Would you sign my yearbook?"
"Uh, sure", Lincoln awkwardly agreed and signed her yearbook, but he didn't really know her.
After signing it, Lincoln handed it back to her, "Thanks!", she then happily went back to her seat, before being stopped by Rusty.
"Hey, you want me to sign your book?"
"No", Amelia then sat back down.
Rusty then turned to Lincoln, "How do girls dig you?"
"I have no idea", Lincoln replied, "Maybe they just like my hair?"
While Rusty may have been a bit jealous of Lincoln for girls have apparently really liked him, it really didn't really matter to Lincoln. He's already got feelings another girl, one of his best friend sitting just a desk next to him. But really he's just glad that they made a whole year without incident. Well, almost without incident.
The name of the incident was Steak Stankco, who just walked in a few minutes before the day ended. He smiled at some of the girls in an attempt to be the flirting jock but they just merely rolled their eyes in disgust at him either in front of him or behind his back. He was worse with girls than Rusty, times two.
"And here comes bloody hell", Tabby said.
"Well, if it isn't undies and his gang of dirty fags", Steak said smirking.
"Shut your mouth, Steak!", Ronnie Anne snapped back.
"No, no, Ronnie Anne", Lincoln said, "There's no need to stoop to his level."
"Really?", Steak asked sarcastically, "I guess your not 'The Wolverine' you call yourself."
"It's what they call my grandfather."
While he didn't show it, something clicked in Steak's head. Lincoln has a grandfather called 'The Wolverine', and during the wrestling match he lost back in the start of the year, he had some-kind of claw-things that came from his knuckles. There's something familiar about that, but just looking at Lincoln, he simply shrugged it off.
"Pfft, yeah right", the bully said as he walked to his seat, but quickly tripped and fell on his face. Apparently both his shoes were tied together.
Seeing Stankco on the floor, all his classmates just laughed at him and took photos.
While he didn't like the Stankco boy, Lincoln didn't know what the hell just happened. But then he turned to his speedy friend Liam. Liam responded shrugging his shoulders smirking.
Then, as the moment couldn't get any better, the principle came on the PA with her final announcement of the year, "Good morning students! As all of you know, it's the last day of school. This is all a day each of you should be proud of. All of the hard work you put into learning for the past ten months, has led you to this moment. With the knowledge each of you gained since September is one of the greatest gifts any child could receive. For all the knowledge you learned..."
But before she could finish, the final bell rang and students quickly ran out of their homerooms.
Principle Fletcher chuckled at this, "Saved by the bell. Have a great summer everyone! Well see you next year, and for out eighth graders the best of luck for you all in high school. Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours."
All the kids headed to the bus lot and boarded their buses for the ride home. Liam and Tabby were the first to board their's as the rest climbed aboard. Lincoln and Clyde sat together, with a massive relief, they made it through a whole school year in a new town after becoming a wanted mutant and discovering their gifts. Each of them did very well in class and none of them really got into any trouble.
Finally the time came for the buses to head out. As the first bus started to pull out, all the teachers and school officials lined up outside and waved goodbye to all the students who either waved back to them or flipped them off. Lincoln had a big smile on his face as he and his friends waved goodbye as the bus drove off.
Most city kids typically spend their summer days in the main place most kids like to play, in the park.
Carlota was watching both her younger brothers CJ, Carl and Carlitos while she was babysitting Adelaide.
While they were just enjoying the moment playing, none of them knew that they were all being watched. They didn't notice that there were people in disguise all around the park.
As Adelaide was playing tag with the boys and Carlota, she ran into a wall. Literally, she ran right into the wall but right through it as if it wasn't there in the first place. Ever since she and Carl ran through a wall after being chased by the street cats, Adelaide used her new found power a lot. With her walking through walls, it was like a fun magic trick. Unfortunately, it also proved that she is a mutant, just like her big sister Sid.
As Adelaide playfully ran through the brick wall surrounding the park trying to get away from Carl who's it. She looked around to see that no one payed attention to what she just did, but there were. Sitting nearby at a cafe outside were two men wearing earpieces. "We've spotted one sir", one of them said, "Permission to apprehend?"
"Affirmative", his commander replied, "All of them."
"Roger", from his seat, his partner tapped the right side of his head three times with his index finger. It was a signal for another man wearing camouflage hidden in a bush nearby. He pulled out a gun and pointed it through the leaves, aimed at Adelaide.
Adelaide poked her head through the wall, seeing that Carl lost her. He turned around and saw her head as she pulled it back giggling. Then suddenly, she felt a sudden sharp sting in her elbow, "OW!" She glanced at her elbow and saw a dart sticking out of her arm. Suddenly she started to feel dizzy and her vision started to become blurry. In a few seconds, she collapsed.
Now unconscious, Sentinel agents and SWAT quickly jumped into action and put on a mutant collar around her neck.
Carl came around the wall to find Adelaide on the ground and police, "Adelaide?"
One of the Sentinel agents saw Carl, and then pointed their weapons at him, "Don't move! Put your hands over your head!"
Hearing the commotion was CJ and Carlota who was still holding Carlitos, who saw police surrounding their brother. Carl complied with the Sentinels, but he recently learned something really cool he can do.
As they tried to close in on Carl, they noticed him smiling as they saw forms of energy start to shine around him. As they tried to open fire, Carl immediately shot blasts of plasma out of his fist and it blasted away several SWAT and Sentinels almost three yards away from both him and Adelaide.
As he tried to move close to her he saw more agents charging at him, which he shot another blasts of plasma through both his fists.
He turned around to find more agents from behind, "Jeez, you guys are determined. So am I", Carl smiled as he generated two rings of plasma around him and then threw them off his arms like a hula-hoop and then hit both the remaining teams of SWAT and Sentinels.
Seeing this, Carl then just stood there in triumph, "Ha! None of you can take down the handsomest, toughest, most macho kid in the entire universe, the one and only Carl Casa...", Carl was then shot in the chest with a dart while he was monologuing, "...sleepy", Carl then collapsed on the ground.
Now with another mutant down, they quickly put the power dimming collar on him too before he could get the chance of fighting back again.
Both CJ and Carlota saw this and even Carlitos too. With an upset look on CJ's face, "Carl and Adelaide are in danger! I have to help them", CJ said as he ran to his younger brother and his friend to help them.
"CJ, no!", Carlota tried to stop her brother while Carlitos was copying her.
"Let my brother go!"
The Sentinel agent looked to find CJ with a toy pirate sword and a pirate hat.
The sentinel just laughed at him as the others then pointed their guns at CJ. While still mocking CJ, he raised his eyebrow and smirked but there the agent then noticed that his pupils were turning red as he lifted his toy sword.
"What the..", before he could finish, CJ swung his toy sword and the moment it made contact with the man, instead of just harmlessly touching him, the force and kinetic-energy completely blew him away.
It wasn't long for the other Sentinels to see another mutant attack. As they secured both Carl and Adelaide into an armored mutant prison truck, the others were once again in peruse of yet another mutant.
Seeing men coming towards him, CJ hit the other end of the sword on the ground to flip himself towards the others. Once he landed on the spot, the kinetic-energy he created competently exploded, blasting away more of the SWAT. But just then, he saw the truck with Carl and Adelaide started to drive away, "No!", CJ tried to chase after the truck, but before he could reach for his sword a Sentinel Agent tackled him to the ground and tried to place him under arrest.
As others were trying to detain CJ, they too were quickly meet with blasts of some kind of small yet powerful fireworks. This incapacitated them long enough for CJ to grab his sword and then blasted the agents off of him.
At that point, the truck was long gone. There was nothing he could do.
He then quickly runs back to Carlota and Carlitos. He then pulled his big sister's arm, taking all three of them back to their apartment building into Bobby who was sweeping outside the mercado.
They then literally crashed into the teen.
"Woah! What the heck's going on?", asked Bobby.
"They got Carl!", CJ said about to cry.
Bobby was confused, "What?"
"They took Carl and Adelaide!", Carlota confirmed CJ's statement.
Bobby's jaw dropped, "Wait what?! What happened?"
"We were playing at the park, and then these agent guys came and took Adelaide. Carl tried to fight them but they caught him too."
"I tried to help them", CJ said tearing up.
"So did I", Carlota added, "B-but they already drove away and we don't know where they went."
"Oh my god", Bobby couldn't believe it, "It's just what happened to Lincoln."
"Bobby, what are you talking about?"
"Lori's brother Lincoln. He was chased out of town by government agents."
"What would want them for? Let alone Carl?"
Bobby tried to think of a reason why agents would want to take his cousin and his friend. Then he remembered the email Abuelo got a few months ago, "The school tests."
"What tests?"
"CJ, when you were at school did they do some kind of medical test?", Bobby asked CJ.
"Yeah, they did", CJ confirmed.
Carlota still didn't know what her cousin and brother were talking about, "Bobby, what test?"
"Me and Abuelo saw an email he got on his laptop. It said the school district was doing some kind of mutant tests to see if kids are mutants."
"Oh, so they know."
"Looks like, but it said they would take kids if they were a threat."
"A threat? Mom and dad never got a call saying Carl or CJ a threat. And the Changs didn't say anything about any problems with Adelaide at school."
Bobby was worried, "This isn't good. Come on, it isn't safe here."
"Bobby, where are we going?", Carlota asked.
"Remember what I told you about what Lori and I were planning? I'm taking you guys along."
"Are you gonna fly us away Bobby?", CJ asked.
"CJ, I still don't know how to fly."
"Can't you try?"
"Now's no the time. You guys should pack your bags, we're leaving as soon as possible."
They knew that they couldn't waste any time. Bobby dropped the broom and he and his cousins headed up to their apartment to pack and explain their situation to their family. They we'rent going to take the news well.
To celebrate their first moments of the summer, the gang decided to spend it the way most kids do, in the pool.
The middle schoolers along with Lynn, Francisco and Margo were playing in the pool back at the house, while Lincoln and Ronnie Anne having a playful cannonball contest. As they two friends splashed down into the pool, Lynn even barged in at the last second trying to out beat them. Lynn's cannon ball splashed both her brother and Ronnie Anne.
"Woo!", Lynn cheered herself in her usual competitive behavior, "Cannonball champion for life chumps!"
Lincoln simply rolled his eyes as this is what he expects from his sporty big sister as he smelled someone behind him, but the smell wasn't exactly a massive threat. It was a playful threat.
"Surprise Attack!", Lincoln turned around to see Lana tackling him into the water and Lincoln simply played along with it. Lana always loved playing with her big brother as he has become in a way, her guardian like how Luna is to him. Lana has gotten along well with Lincoln's friends like she's an honorary member, but her bond between her and her brother grew the most.
Carol was nearby sunbathing after her shift at the hotel, enjoying her mutant family's fun company.
Just at that moment of fun, both Luna and Sam came to the pool, "Hey dudes", Luna greeted them, "You guys almost done? We gotta get to the Bowl."
"The Bowl?", Rusty asked confused.
Then Lincoln remembered, "Oh shoot! What time is it?"
Carol then checked her phone, "It's 2:20."
"The Talent Show!"
"What talent show?", asked Francisco.
"The Final Talent Show! All the schools in the district have the students perform at the Hollywood Bowl on the last day", Lincoln explained.
Tabby then remembered, "Oh no! The show already started!"
"Not to worry", Lisa said, "Lincoln included me as a reminder for your musical events for your band. You three were placed in the final slot of the show which in factoring the usual amount of time permitted per performance of around 4-6 minutes along with it's intended end time of 3:30 Pacific Daylight post meridiem, you three are scheduled to go on at approximately, 3:12 this afternoon."
"Wow, thanks for that long and confusing lecture, Professor Lisa Loud", Rusty stated sarcastically
"Dr. Lisa Loud", Lincoln corrected.
"Whatever."
Lisa smiled as her brother always calls her 'Dr.' so that people give her the respect she deserves despite being so young.
"Great, so you guys still got time", Carol said.
"I already put ya'll music gear in your trunk", Liam said now sitting on a nearby pool chair with a towel on his shoulders wearing his sneakers.
"But we di...", Sam realized that Liam took care of putting their music equipment the very second before. Sam smirked at the farm boy, "You sly little speedster."
"That I am", Liam replied with a smile now with a pair of sunglasses and taking a sip of a glass of lemonade.
"You guys go ahead", Lincoln said getting out of the pool and grabbed a towel, "We'll catch up."
"Sure thing bro", Luna said.
Tabby grabbed a towel and headed inside to dry off and change as Luna and Sam continued to get ready for the show.
Today is the first of the three day moving out period at Fairway University. Students are giving a selected day to leave their dorm, Lori was packing her stuff as her's was scheduled for tomorrow while her roommate's was today.
With her roommate gone, Lori had the room all to herself.
She then heard a frantic knocking at the door, thinking it's Bobby. She quickly opened the door only to find it's not Bobby, but her sisters Leni, Luan, Lola, and Lily.
"Hi, Lori", they all said while Lily babbled as they quickly came in and shut the door behind them.
Lori was surprised to see them, "What are you guys doing here?"
"We ran away", Leni said while shutting the window shades.
"Why?"
"Because there's bad people after us!", Lola shouted.
"What bad people?"
"The same guys who chased Lincoln away!", Luan said.
"What? Why would the Sentinels literally be after you guys?"
"Because of these", Lola lifted her fists and popped her crystal claws.
Lori gasped, "You have..."
"Don't you dare say it!"
Lori then glaced down to Leni, "Leni do you..."
"I don't think so, but Lola said those mean cop guys think I do", Lori was startled when she turned around to see another Leni standing right next to her.
"Woah, Lori", Leni said noticing the other her, "I didn't know you had a full mirror."
"Leni, you made her", Lola said in annoyance.
"Oh, right", both Lenis said simultaneously as the second Leni disappeared.
"You can make copies of yourself!"
Just then, there was another knock at the door. Lori answered the door again, this time she was meet by Bobby, "Boo boo bear!", Lori also saw that Bobby was accompanied by two of his cousins, "And Carlota, CJ, and little Carlitos, what a nice surprise."
"Babe, we got a problem", Bobby said worried as he and his cousins entered the door. Bobby was surprised to see some of Lori's sisters there too, "Uh, Lori..."
"Oh, sorry Boo boo bear. Carlota, CJ, you remember my siblings Leni, Luan and Lola. And I guess these two little ones know each other", Lily and Carlitos both giggled at each other obviously very happy to see each other.
Carlota and CJ and the three other Loud girls exchanged greetings.
"Babe, there's people after them!"
"You guys too?", asked Lola.
"Wait, Sentinels are after you too?", Lori asked.
"They took Carl and Adelaide", CJ said tearing up holding Bobby's arm.
"They tried to take CJ too but he like fought back with his pirate sword, and they were blown away", Carlota tried to explain.
"Blown away?", Lori asked, "You guys...", Lori couldn't even complete her sentence. From what they said and Sentinels after Bobby's family too, it was way too obvious.
"I told them about what we were planning", Bobby said, "And since Sentinels aren't after me, I thought it would be safe if..."
"...they could come along", Lori finished her boyfriend's sentence.
"Yeah", Bobby confirmed as he lowered his head as he started to get emotional, "It's bad enough I couldn't save Ronnie Anne or Carl, but i'm not gonna let them take Carlota or CJ."
Lori was touched and felt bad for her boyfriend. As he started to shed tears, she placed her hand on his shoulder, "Oh Boo boo bear", she then drew him into a hug as he cried onto her shoulders. "You care about your family so much."
"I guess abuela was right", Bobby said as he smiled softly, "I am like a guardian angel. So, is it okay?"
Lori smiled, "Of course."
Bobby then pulled Lori into another hug, "Thanks babe."
"Alright this is getting really gushy, but what are you guys talking about 'coming along'?", Lola interrupted.
"It's a plan Bobby and I started months ago", Lori explained, "Bobby found a picture of Lincoln and Ronnie Anne somewhere in Los Angeles."
"Wait a sec", Lola said, "You mean that Lincoln, Luna, Lynn, Lisa and Lana all went with Ronnie Anne to LA?"
"It looks like."
"I can't believe it. I'm the one who should be in California!", Lola shouted in jealousy, "Why do they get to go were the stars play?!"
"Lola! That's not the point! They were chased out", Lori said, "The plan is for us to go out there and try to find them once the year was over."
Leni was confused, "But it's June."
"End of the school year Leni", Lori said.
"Oh."
Knowing how much trouble her sisters are in too, Lori knew what she had to do, "Look, with Sentinels after you guys too, I think it's best if you guys come with us."
"Really?", Leni asked.
"Yeah", Bobby agreed, "Plus with you guys, we have more help."
"We really get to help find Ronnie Anne?", CJ asked.
"You bet CJ."
"Yay!", CJ cheered.
"Shh", Lori shushed CJ so no one could hear him. No boys or family members were allowed in the room with her.
"Oh, sorry", CJ replied silently, "Yay!", he repeated but in a much quieter volume.
"Okay, we can stay here for tonight, then tomorrow we all head for the airport and fly to California."
Given all their current circumstances, they all agreed to hide from the agents after them and head west to find their lost family members.
While Lori did not expect their search party to grow beyond just her and Bobby, she wasn't one hundred percent surprised that her siblings also posed mutant abilities. For she too had a remarkable gift she kept secret from her family.
The school district's end of the year talent show was nearing the end by the time Lincoln and his friends Clyde, Ronnie Anne, Sid, Zach, Rusty and Lana finally arrived at the Hollywood Bowl. Along with friends and family of performers, there were also talent scouts and producers in the audience too for a possible new star in either music, theater, film, or TV. As they made their way to their seats, special seat boxes near close to the stage. While they were arrived at their boxes, a fellow band from Luna's school was already performing one of their newest songs called, Running in Circles. Liam and Tabby were backstage with Luna and Sam getting everything ready.
After about four minutes, the band's music faded and their performance came to an end. The crowd of the bowl erupted in a round of applauds.
"Give it up for CitySol!", the MC said as they crowd continued to cheer and applaud as the band went backstage. "And now, for our final act, these girls truly have an immense passion for music. They really put the shred in their name, give it up for Luna Howlett, Sam Sharp and Tabby Simmons! A.k.a., Shredding Ice!"
The crowd once again erupted in applaud and cheers as Luna's band, Shredding Ice, came on stage. With Luna on the lead guitar and vocals, Sam on bass and back-ups, and Tabby on drums.
"Los Angeles!", Luna shouted into her mic, ""Get ready to lock and load for a sick take on rock and roll in this world!"
They soon started to play a song from one of Lincoln's very first video game he ever played, and yet to this very day he couldn't even finish it before it bugged out on him every single time.
Come on and light the fuse
He's a rocket and he's ready to go
Cuz now the countdown has started and it's ready to blow
He's got the dope sounds bumpin', and in stereo (eo!)
Kickin' ass fast - puttin' on a show
Go on and get yourself together - there's no time rest
And if you put the time in, he'll put you to the test
He's like the running man - in his world, more is less
And if you wanna test him, best bring your best
He can't stop now - lock and load
Don't stop now - come on and rock and roll
In this world (his world) - Gotta make your own way
Where one is all In this world (his world) - Life is just a game you play
Never fear the fall
When you leap without a net, you'll find it won't be there all the time
So watch your step, now, watch your step - don't fall
Runnin' it back again - well, whatcha expect?
Comin' out to win 10 outta 10 - got a real rough neck
Spikes up his liberty and straps on his shoes
Cuz he's the best there ever was - haven't you heard the news?
Come on and psyche yourself up, cuz it's time to play
Bounce to the beats and the rhymes cuz they're here to stay
The one and only marathon man living today
Rollin' up, coming fast, and he'll blow you away
He can't stop now - lock and load
Don't stop now - come on and rock and roll
In this world (his world) - Gotta make your own way
Where one is all
In this world (his world) - Life is just a game you play
Never fear the fall
When you leap without a net, you'll find it won't be there all the time
So watch your step, now, watch your step - don't fall
Intergalactic continental champ running things
Hyperactive instrumental in pulling strings
He is the one who understands when the tides will swing
So he's breaking down doors - never following
Becuz the pressures of this world, they can take their toll
The only way to break free is to break the mold
He can't stop now - lock and load
Don't stop now - come on and rock and roll
In this world (his world) - Gotta make your own way
Where one is all
In this world (his world) - Life is just a game you play
Never fear the fall When you leap without a net, you'll find it won't be there all the time
So watch your step, now, watch your step - don't fall
In this world (his world) - Gotta make your own way
Where one is all

So watch your step, now, watch your step - don't fall Watch your step, watch your step
Don't turn around
Watch your step, watch your step
Don't turn around
Don't stop to look back again
Don't fall
The crowd once again roared and screamed in cheers like crazy as Lincoln even stood up from his seat cheering his sister and her band.
They loved it.
After the show, Lincoln and his friends congratulated his sister and her band after their show. It was one of the biggest shows Luna's ever performed at.
Both Luna and Lana offered to help Liam to put their instruments an equipment back in Luna's car after, even though they would be done a hell of a lot faster if they did. But never the less, they let Liam take a break for once.
As Luna bent down putting her axe in the trunk, she then felt the sudden smack of someone's hand on her ass making her let out a loud yelp. She quickly pulled herself out of her car and turned around to see a teenage boy with a smug grin on his face.
Luna pulled him by his shirt collar with an angry face, while the teen still smiling like a cock.
"Cute and feisty. I think I just hit the jackpot."
"I hope you've got insurance, dude", Luna said furiously, "Cuz your gonna need it!"
"I think all I need is a little some of you. I love a girl with fire in her belly", the teen replied.
Lincoln was way beyond angry. He tried to walk up to that jerk, but Sam grabbed his arm before he could do anything.
"Easy Lincoln", she said tying to calm Luna's younger brother as she held him back.
"Aren't you gonna do something luv?", Tabby asked Liam.
"I would, but Lincoln told me his big sis is sly as a fox", Liam replied.
And she was. Thinking back to the time Luna set up fake stories in her diary to get her siblings to come clean about reading it reassured Sam that Luna knew how to deal with something like this.
As if right on cue, Luna smiled deviously at the punk teen, "Well, you did complement me. I guess your not that bad."
The punk smiled in triumph as he got what he wanted.
"Pucker up lover boy", the teen complied as he prepared for a kiss from the rocker girl. But instead, he was met with a hard kick to the crotch making him scream like an opera singer. He then fell to his knees holding his junk in pain.
"My nuts!", he shouted in a high pitched cry.
Luna again replied by punching him in the face, "Keep your hands to yourself, pervert!"
Despite the pain he got to his groin, the teen managed to pick himself up and quickly ran away.
Seeing this and that Sam let go of him, Lincoln decided to go after the jerk in an attempt to finish the job. Yet again before he could even get close, he felt someone's hand on his shoulder, which turned out to be Luna.
"Dude, what are you doing?"
"Gonna keep teaching that asshole a lesson!", Lincoln attempted to go after him but Luna quickly stood right in front of him.
"Whoa! Relax dude. He learned his lesson already."
"Well it's not enough. No one messes with my sister!"
"Relax, little bro. Look, I'm really touched that you'd do that for me but I don't want you to get wrapped up in stuff like that or get into a fight. I ain't risking you loosing control and go all delirious."
Lincoln then calmed down, "I'm sorry sis, I just don't want anyone messing with you or any of you guys. It's the least I could do for what you guys did for me."
"Dude, you don't owe me anything. We wanted to go with you bro. No Loud left behind", Lincoln looked up and smiled at his big sister, "Plus if anyone messed with you, i'd probably do the same thing."
"Thank's sis."
"It's what siblings are for dude", Luna wrapped her arm around her brother's shoulder, "Come on, let's head home."
They soon met up with their friends as they finished loading up their gear and headed back.
Finally Lincoln and his friends arrived back at the house having taken the bus back since they all couldn't fit in Luna's car.
As they walked inside, the immediately noticed downstairs in the living room that Lisa had called everyone for a very important issue.
"Uh, what's going on?", asked Lana.
"Glade you've finally arrived", Lisa said, "I have a very urgent matter I need to discuss with you all."
Lincoln and his friends then headed down the stairs and then sat down in the living room with Lisa having the floor right in front of the TV.
"Earlier today I saw a news report stating that the massive manhunt for you and any one else in connection to your whereabouts has been terminated."
"Y-you mean we're not in danger of getting caught anymore?", asked Clyde.
"Precisely", Lisa confirmed, "With us no longer ruled as a threat to society, I immediately had to seize the opportunity without a moment to loose. I recently retrieved an email from Xavier's school for gifted youngsters and just a few minutes ago, from Professor Xavier himself."
"Really?", asked Lynn who didn't really know where her sister was going with this, "What's that mean?"
"It means that I contacted the Professor of the school we're our parental grandfather dwells."
Hearing this, Lincoln immediately started to get excited, "You mean..."
"Yes, elder brother. I can hear your thoughts of excitement. It means we all can finally head to New York and meet our parental grandfather."
They all couldn't believe it, after a whole year of waiting, they could now head to Xavier's School for mutants. Everyone cheered and Lincoln hugged each all his sisters over the news.
"This is great! So, when do we leave?" asked Carol.
"In two days. I informed Professor Xavier when he should expect us. But I also told him not to tell Logan until we arrive."
"Why?", asked Lynn.
"Because after Lincoln told us the story he learned from Pop-pop, it would be better if we tell him in person. Apparently he's as hard as the adamantium graphed to his bones."
"Hpm, I like him even more."
"Yes, I assure you two would get along very well. Now if you must excuse me, I need to start packing", Lisa then headed back downstairs to start packing her bags.
"Congratulations Linc", Ronnie Anne playfully punched him in his right arm.
"Thanks Ronnie Anne."
While he was excited, there was a feeling inside the young white haired mutant that wasn't one hundred percent okay. Out of all the excitement going through everyone's heads, he didn't show it.
By sundown, most of the group of mutants had already started packing most of their stuff. Liam already packed all of his things in only a second. Now they took a break and were all together in the living room watching the 1986 thriller film Manhunter.
But there were two kids missing from this movie night, "What the heck's taking Lincoln so long?", asked Luna, "This is one of his faves."
Stella then realized something too, "Yeah, come to think of it, Ronnie Anne's taking a while too."
They didn't notice that Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were trying to sneak out literally right behind them. The two were climbing up the stairs and made it to the front door. As they were about to turn the doorknob to leave, Lynn cleared her throat, they were caught, "Dang it", they said at the same time. The two turned around to find everyone looking at them.
"Uh, h-hey guys", Lincoln said as he and Ronnie Anne nervously smiled.
The main thing catching their attention was their formal wear. Lincoln was wearing a white long-sleeve dress shirt, khakis, brown dress shoes, fancy white gloves, an orange vest, and a red bow tie.
Ronnie Anne was wearing a purple dress with matching shoes, light violet long gloves and had her hair down and even styled.
"What are you guys up to?", asked Carol.
Both Lincoln and Ronnie Anne didn't want to say anything, but they couldn't come up with an excuse. So they decided to come clean.
"We're going to grab a bite to eat to celebrate us going to New York", Lincoln said.
It wasn't long before the girls started to go frantic with excitement, "You two are going on a date?", Sam asked excitedly.
"It's not a date!", they both shouted in annoyance.
"Really, then what's with the fancy clothes?", asked Zach.
"I-it's... formal night", Ronnie Anne said.
"That's a lie", Lisa stated, "Both your claims are deceptive for your plans this evening."
"Well your wrong!", Ronnie Anne said harshly.
"I'm not wrong on this."
Everyone then agreed with Lisa as they got happy for the two as they were both blushing.
The two then headed out the door to get away from all the embarrassment, "So when's the wedding?", Lana playfully asked.
"Not anytime soon!", Lincoln then slammed the door right behind him.
"Okay, I gotta see where this is going", Lynn said laughing.
"Come on Lynn, cut them some slack", Margo said.
"She's right", Rusty agreed, "You can't just crash someone's date. It's their time. I've already got the perfect place for me and Margo", Rusty tried to wrap his arm around Lynn's best friend.
Margo quickly unwrapped it and threw it back to him, "You can't even find The Bahamas on a map."
"How was I suppose to know they were islands."
"Wow, you got a real man Margo", Lynn mocked.
"I am a man", Rusty replied, "And i'm hot."
"Ugh, well if your a man, can you handle a tickle?", Margo asked with a smirk on her face.
"What tickle?"
Margo then poked Rusty in the gut which shocked him with the force of a couple thousand volts, making his hair stand on end.
"Wow, your an amazing women", Rusty then passed out.
Everyone laughed at Rusty.
While he is kind of pathetic, Margo had to give him that he always complements her and likes her despite her powers. Plus he can make her laugh while trying to impress her. She thought to herself that maybe he isn't all that bad.
Later that night, Dopinder dropped the two tweens at one of the nicest Italian restaurants in the city called 'Soleanna'.
Lincoln held the door open for Ronnie Anne and they walked inside to see the beautiful Italian theme with an accordion player near the entrance playing a song. However, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne smelled the presence of another mutant. Ronnie Anne just smelled a mutant but to Lincoln, the scent was all too familiar to him personally. Before he could look back, the host arrived.
"May I held you?"
"U-uh, Howlett. Table for two", Lincoln replied.
"Yes sir, right this way", The host escorted them to their table with the accordion player keeping an eye on both of them as he continued to play. None of them noticed that his eyes flashed yellow.
The host then placed the two at a table next to a big window.
As they tried to enjoy themselves, Lincoln kept looking over at the entrance.
Ronnie Anne noticed this, "You okay Lincoln?"
"Y-yeah. It's just... I think I smelled a mutant just a second ago."
"I did too. Maybe their just hiding. You know, try to blend in so no one would be bothering or hating them."
"Yeah, I get that but, i-it's just that I know that scent."
"Maybe, you've ran into him before?"
"Maybe...", Lincoln shrugged it off, but he knew that scent, he just couldn't put his finger on it.
Never the less, he didn't want a weird hutch of his to get in the way of his nice dinner with Ronnie Anne.
As the night progressed, it went without incident. They enjoyed their meal, had a nice conversation and Lincoln even picked up the bill with money he saved drawing commissions and even taking a special loan from Carol.
It was nice, the two of them spending some alone time together without anyone else saying that their boyfriend and girlfriend or being embarrassed or teased for enjoying each other's company and for the moment, their feelings.
Just then, they both heard a song began to play. Lincoln got an idea to make the night even better, and got up from his seat.
Ronnie Anne confused, "What are you doing?"
Lincoln extended his hand to Ronnie Anne with a smile on his face, "Wanna dance?"
Ronnie Anne blushed, she didn't like being the center of attention but she did tell Lincoln that she did like to dance to K-pop. Even though this song wasn't even close to K-pop.
She didn't want to be embarrassed, not by being with Lincoln, but dancing in public. But she saw the look on Lincoln's face as he wanted her to have a good time with him since no one they knew was around. If anything, they were going to do it together.
After some time thinking, Ronnie Anne smiled and grabbed Lincoln's hand as they both moved to the dance floor and started dancing together in each other's arms.
When I'm lost in the rain
In your eyes I know I'll find the light
To light my way
And when I'm scared
And losing ground
When my world is going crazy
You can turn it all around
And when I'm down you're there
Pushing me to the top
You're always there giving me all you've got
For a shield from the storm
For a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you
When I lose the will to win
I just reach for you
And I can reach the sky again
I can do anything
'Cause your love is so amazing
'Cause your love inspires me
And when I need a friend
You're always on my side
Giving me faith
That gets me through the night
For a shield from the storm
For a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you
For the arms to be my shelter
Through all the rain
For truth that will never change
For someone to lean on
For a heart I can rely on through anything
For that one who I can run to
For a shield from the storm
For a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For everything you do
For everything that's true
For a shield from the storm
For a friend, for a love
To keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong
For the will to carry on
For the everything you do
For everything that's true
I turn to you
I turn to you
As the song came to an end, their dance also came to a close with Lincoln holding Ronnie Anne close in his arms. Both of them blushed and smiled.
Then they heard the sound of applauds from the other dinners who enjoyed seeing the two young kids were dancing together like in a ballroom.
They quickly let go of each other. Ronnie Anne was embarrassed that all the eaters were looking at her for sharing a dance with her friend, but the feeling soon went away when she felt Lincoln's hand holding hers. He didn't want her to be embarrassed when he wanted to do something really special for her and him to enjoy together. And she did. She slightly gripped his hand as they both took a bow and smiled with with to the dinner's applauds.
They then headed outside after their fun night as Lincoln pulled out his phone to order another ride from Dopinder. But Lincoln was having trouble.
"I don't have a signal."
"Really? Here let me try", Ronnie Anne pulled out her phone too but it was the same thing, "Are you kidding me?"
"Maybe we should take the bus", Lincoln suggested.
Being that's their only option, they headed to the closet bus stop. Unfortunately the closet stop was about ten minutes away on foot. While walking, they found themselves in one of the bad parts of town, a dark abandoned street with only two street posts on.
They were on alert to see if there were any thugs or anything creeps nearby. They didn't see anyone. Until they heard a familiar voice, "Nice night of a walk ain't it?"
They turned around to see the voice was Steak Stankco who was holding a bat.
"Oh great", Lincoln said softly in annoyance to himself as he and Ronnie Anne simply continued on their way. But Steak quickly caught up to them.
"Well this is something, undies is trying to act all formal with his girlfriend", neither of them answered, "What, giving me the silent treatment? That's original."
"Just leave us alone", Lincoln replied coldly.
"Why should I? I was already on my way home from baseball practice but then I saw you two dancing like a corny Disney movie and I thought, why not?"
"You saw us?", Ronnie Anne asked.
"Yup. It was the most stupidest thing i've ever seen. I can't believe you'd dance with that."
Lincoln then stopped, "What did you just say?"
"I can't believe you danced with her."
Ronnie Anne then got offended, "With me? What's that suppose to mean?"
"Your a brute who thinks you belong in this country. No one in their right mind would want to be with you. And it looks like i'm right since you hang out with undies and his band of misfit turds, wetback."
Ronnie Anne got upset and started to tear.
Lincoln was furious at the Stankco boy as his face started to turn red. It was bad enough he hurt Ronnie Anne's feelings before, and he didn't want her to be hurt again, and Stankco just crossed the line, "Don't call her that!"
Reaching his breaking point as Lincoln swung his fist towards the bully, "NO!", Ronnie Anne shouted.
Steak quickly caught Lincoln's arm, dropping his bat. He then saw that Lincoln had three claws coming out of his glove, just like he did back during the wrestling match. Still having his suspicions, Steak then removed the glove to find that the claws were coming out of his knuckle. It finally made sense.
"It's you", the bully said, "Your the mutant kid who went crazy!"
Lincoln didn't say a word.
Stankco then remembered what Lincoln said in school earlier today and started laughing, "Your the grandson of Weapon X?" The bully just kept laughing that this white-haired looser is from the same family as that animal and that he was wanted by Sentinels, "Your in serious trouble now."
Lincoln growled as his other set of claws come out from his left fist.
Seeing this, Steak quickly kicked Lincoln in the gut but was soon tackled by Ronnie Anne. She then grabbed him by his shirt and threw him onto of a nearby car. He picked himself up and saw that Ronnie Anne had grew fangs and razor sharp fingernail claws protruding from her fancy gloves.
Steak just smirked, "Two freaks in one day. This couldn't get any better", he cracked his knuckles and charged at Ronnie Anne. But Lincoln quickly ran up on him and scratched his right cheek as Stankco punched him in the face.
Ronnie Anne then charged at the bully but punched her across her face and grabbed her arm, putting her in an arm lock and pinning her down by stepping on her other arm. He then body slammed her back, cracking it as he then used his strength to pull her arm out of it's socket, she let out a cry of pain as Lincoln soon grabbed him by the shoulders off her but Steak managed to back-kick him in the crotch. With him distracted, Stankco used his Jr. bodybuilder strength to throw Lincoln against a wall and fall onto the sidewalk.
"I gotta say undies, i'm really disappointed in you", Steak said, "Those claws of yours are just for show."
Lincoln then again managed to pick himself up and tried to stab Steak with his claws, but they were quickly blocked as Stankco managed to grab his bat and block them and hit repeatedly hit Lincoln in the head with it.
Ronnie Anne quickly lunged towards him but manged to him her in the head with it too. With her down, he grabbed her by her dress and threw her into a street post, in which the lamp fell on top of her, knocking her out. He then grabbed her again and threw her through the window of a nearby closed bank.
While Lincoln was in a daze, Stankco grabbed him by his shirt and threw him into the path of an oncoming truck. He hit the grill of the truck as he rolled over the top of as the truck kept moving, and eventually rolled off and landed face first onto the road.
With Lincoln laying on the ground, Steak stood over looking down at the weakened white-haired boy.
"Hmph! The grandson of one of the deadly mutant ever, can't even beat me in a real fight!", Steak mocked him, "Your, nothing but a joke! And just wait t'ill those cops get their hands on you and your illegal girlfriend."
"D-don't... you... dare!", Lincoln said while breathing heavily.
Steak smirked, "Oh yeah? And what are you gonna do? Your nothing but a freak and a loser."
The bully raised his leg and smashed Lincoln's left claws, making him let out a loud cry of pain. The pain from his broken claws along with the ones from the fight was way too much for him as he started to tear up and soon passed out from it and the exhaustion of the fight.
With the mutants down, Steak whipped the blood off his face as he reached into his pocket for his phone, "You freaks are gonna make me and my dad very, very rich."
"Put the phone down!", Steak heard someone shout. He looked around and saw the accordion man from the restaurant standing a few feet away.
Steak shrugged this off, "Get lost Mario!", Steak then finished dialing 911.
At that moment, "911 operator, please state your emergency."
Before he could let out a single word, the Stankco was kicked in the face. The force of it sent his phone flying out of his hand and landing on the nearby road, shattering it.
Steak saw his broken phone as he picked himself up and saw that the one who kicked him was the accordion man, "What the hell!?"
"Get out of here and don't say a word about this to anyone...", before he could finish, Steak jumped up and punched him in his right right eye. The accordion man then fell to the ground with a swollen eye as the Stankco boy just stood there thinking that he's won. He turned around and started walking home to tell his father of what happened.
Behind him, the accordion man looked back a the bully, and licked his lips before picking himself up. Seeing a nearby bottle on the ground, he quickly grabbed and threw it at the last light streetlight, causing the street to go completely dark.
Steak was surprised that the light went out and couldn't see. Seconds later, he was meet with a kick to the back of his head. He turned around in attempt to punch his attacker but his fist was caught in someone's hand. He tried to swing his other fist, but was merely caught to as he was kicked in the face and flipped onto his back.
He was then grabbed by his shirt up to his attackers face. By this point, Stankco was already dazed by both fights and with it already being pitch black, he couldn't see the face of his current attacker. All he saw were two yellow eyes. "Leave the kids alone", the mystery attacker said reveling that the person was actually a women. She then threw the bully against a nearby dumpster and landing in a pile of trash, knocking him unconscious.
With the Stankco boy out of the way, the mysterious women quickly ran up to an unconscious Lincoln and bent down and gently placed her hand on his head, "Your gonna be okay", she said to him before giving him a kiss on his head.
She then picked him and Ronnie Anne up and headed down the block near the restaurant. Before she could reach a light up parking lot, she transformed into a brunette women, unfortunately her swollen eye was still present. Looking and seeing that there was no one around, quickly ran to her car placed the two into the backseat and buckled them in to make it look like they were her sleeping kids. She then jumped in herself and drove off, heading towards the Hollywood hills.
Unbeknownst to her, parked in the street nearby was the same women with black hair whose been following them around. She had already taken many pictures of Lincoln, his sisters, and his friends. She was on the phone with her boss.
"They got some special helper", she said.
"What about them?", her boss asked who spoke in a British accent
"Their down. They couldn't even stop some jock kid."
"Their young and inexperienced Christina", he reassured her, "All they need is a little boost."
She didn't bother questioning her employer and took his word as these kids were very unique to be left alone.
He hung up and looked at his laptop of a reply from a Lisa Loud thinking it was from 'Charles Xavier', stating that they would be coming to New York in to days time along with their abilities and even a certain family connection to a familiar mutant.
The man then pulled up some of the pictures his henchwomen had taken of the kids along with a teenage friend of theirs in red who to him looked more like some weird sex toy. But he was more focused on a rocker, a young athlete, a young blond tomboy, a Hispanic girl, and finally a boy with hair as white as snow. He had special plans for them.
He soon got up and headed into a place he called, his 'Workshop'. It was an open lab with several water tanks that were large enough to hold a body along with several smaller tanks. Inside them were heating some kind of silver colored liquid.
And that's a wrap!
I can't believe it's been 20 years since the first X-Men movie premiered! God time flies fast.
That little song about chocolate towards the beginning is of some funny song I keep hearing online.
The band performing right before Luna's is actually the real life band and one of my favorites on YouTube, CitySol, performing my favorite song by them, Running in Circles. You guys should definitely go check out their channel on YouTube their really great.
And of course, the song Luna's band was performing is the Zebrahead version of His World from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). I find it a great song for any upcoming action scenes in this story. Also the song Lincoln and Ronnie Anne were dancing too is I Turn to Youby All-4-One from the movie Space Jam.
Lincoln and Ronnie Anne's formal outfit was created by GriffenLee0 and nbwatts on Deviant art.
We also learned a lot more about the Louds and the Casagrandes new gifts. If you've read before: Leni has the powers of Multiple Man, Lola with the abilities of both Wolverine and Emma Frost, and finally Sid's younger sister Adelaide has the powers of Kitty Pride. Luan has the abilities of Morph (remember him from the 90's series?). Carl has the powers of both Havok and Bishop, and CJ with the powers of Gambit.
So stay tuned until next time when we learn something very interesting about a few people in the next chapter as we get close to them meeting the X-Men.
Leave a comment and share this story. And if you want, go check out my new Deviant art page, I'll be posting character designs and drawings based on my stories.
See ya.
