A/N: Hey guys, I'm back. Here we have that Lincoln has met The Expendables and is now one of them. Anywho, I'll shut up for now so...SEE YOU GUYS AT THE BOTTOM!

At Tool's Tattoo Shop, after the guys got back from an intense mission, celebrating by Lee and Tool throwing knives at a board, Gunnar was now back on the team due to him giving Barney the info for Garza's palace. Lincoln was currently working on practice runs for network security on his laptop when Toll Road came up and popped a squat beside him.

"Hey, Barney told us that one of us has to be your legal guardian." The demolitions expert explained as Lincoln raised an eyebrow in to where he was going with this.

"Yeah, what about it?" The 11-year-old replied as Toll Road put on a concerned face and said the words Lincoln never thought he would hear from a couple of scary looking men who killed people to help the government.

"Do you want to be put under my care through the 10 years you're gonna be here in New Orleans?" Toll Road asked with such care as Lincoln started to tear up, the demolitions expert noticed and pulled him into a hug. Even though Toll Road was now getting better at talking to more people and pushing away the avoidant personality disorder (or APD), he felt Lincoln needed the comfort.

Lincoln wasn't crying his eyes out, he was just happy that he was going to have a home for the next 10 years, and Toll Road was offering to let him live with him.

Toll Road never hated children at all, he too like the others never had the chance to walk up to a lady and ask them out. Lincoln was finally calmed down and nodded to let Toll Road know he was calm now.

"Thanks Toll, I need that." Lincoln said as Toll Road smirked and ruffled up the boy's hair.

"Anytime, now at my house I have a vacant room, it's about 195 square feet and should fit a small queen's bed, desk, and even an entertainment center for a tv and game system. That sound good to you?" Toll Road explained as Lincoln's face lit up like a bright lightbulb.

"That sounds good to me." Lincoln replied as he grabbed his laptop while he and Toll Road headed out to his house.

While the two were heading to Toll Roads house, a certain elder of 11 was at the Sunset Canyon Retirement Home trying to video call Lincoln, but to his surprise, it was failing to call him. So, he thought the best thing was to talk to his daughter Rita.

Loud Residence

Pop Pop arrived in a cab to the house when he heard there was no crazy nonsense going on inside, the old man thought it was his head getting to him. He approached the front door and knocked on it, a few seconds later Rita answered it and noticed it was her father.

"DADDY!" Rita bellowed as Pop Pop felt confused to her actions.

"What's going on sweetie, I tried to call Lincoln on the video chat but to my avail, he wasn't answering at all." Pop Pop explained as Rita motioned for him to come sit down.

As the two sat down Lynn Sr came out with tissues and a small waste bin to discard them in. He knew Pop Pop was going to flip out to the news.

"Dad, Lincoln was...arrested." Rita explained as the old man started to heat up with anger.

"What...did...he...do...to...get...ARRESTED!" Pop Pop screamed as the younger adults feared he would flip out even more and break something out of anger.

All 10 girls heard what was going on and even decided to eavesdrop on the arguement.

"Albert! Calm down, you'll have a heart attack!" Lynn Sr tried to reason with Albert, but to his disappointment he wasn't going to back down now.

"YOU SHUT UP! AND RITA, EXPLAIN WHY MY GRANDSON WAS ARRESTED!" Pop Pop yelled at his son in law while the girls even gasped due to their grandpa having a meltdown like this.

"Daddy, Lincoln hacked into the CIA network and saw files that were secret. So instead of running, he called them and confessed to what he did. They came and got him, now he's in Virginia for a private trial. So now he's going to be serving 10 years in jail because of what he did, I'm proud of him for not running from his problems but I'm very disapointed in him for committing this crime." Rita explained as she wiped her nose to it running a bit.

Pop Pop stood there just gobsmacked due to the information that was explained to him. He sat back down with a bit of force and just put his head in his hands.

"All my life of spending time with my only grandson, I never thought he had the guts to do something like this." Pop Pop said as he felt a tug on his pant leg, it showed to be Lily wanting up on his lap.

"Poo-Poo." Lily babbled as Pop Pop could never resist to hold his youngest grandchild. As he brought her up to his lap, the two fell asleep while the parents got up to deal with their daughters eavesdropping on their conversation.

The Park

While that was happening, Clyde and Ronnie Anne were at the park chilling under a tree, until a redhead saw them with a grin that would make him and the grinch who stole christmas best friends.

"I just can't believe Lincoln is in prison, can you Ronnie Anne?" Clyde asked the tomboy as she played along since she knew Lincoln's actual location and what he was going to be doing from now on.

"Yeah, I can't believe he did something that extreme." Ronnie Anne replied while Clyde asked a very common question.

"Are you and him...still dating?" He asked as the tomboy delivered an immensely powerful sucker punch to the arm, leaving a nice bruise.

"Yes...but I'm mad at him for what he did. I still love him but, just mad at him." Ronnie Anne lied about being mad at him fully, she still loved him and even knew she could face chat him when he was able to.

The conversation was broken up due to a familiar voice spoke up.

"So, Larry is in prison? PERFECT! I always knew he do something stupid to end up in jail!" Chandler laughed as Ronnie Anne tackled the redhead and put him in an armbar.

"STOP LAUGHING! THIS ISN'T FUNNY, YOU ARE THE MOST STUCKUP, SELFISH AND CRUEL JERK EVER IN THE WORLD!" Ronnie Anne finished ranting as Clyde tried to pull her from the pinned bully.

"THIS ISN'T OVER YOU REDHEAD DEVIL! YOU HEAR ME!" Ronnie Anne screamed as Clyde pulled her away from the park so she could calm down.

After 15 minutes of walking, Ronnie Anne was calmed down and ready to ask Clyde how Chandler even knew of Lincoln's predicament.

"How did Chandler find out Clyde?" Ronnie Anne asked as she was going to tear him a new one for leaking the info out.

Clyde knew he was in trouble now, but Mrs. Johnson did ask him where Lincoln was and Rusty, Zach and Liam were in the hall at the wrong time. So, he assumed that the 3 boys did not keep their words about not spreading the words.

"Mrs. Johnson asked me the other day where he was at, I told her what happened but Rusty, Liam and Zach were outside the door at the wrong time, so they found out at the exact moment.

Ronnie Anne just pinched the bridge of her nose with her two fingers in displeasure. She didn't want the whole school district finding out and even believing Lincoln's family was nothing but bad influences either.

"No one else must not find out Clyde, you got me!" Ronnie Anne spat as he gritted her teeth towards the boy while he nodded.

Back in New Orleans

Toll Road brought his custom black Harley into his driveway, Lincoln was sitting behind him on the back. He was a bit shaken up due to him never riding on a bike before. Toll Road just chuckled and motioned him to follow towards the house. It wasn't a big house like his in Michigan, but it was certainly home. It was a 1 story 3-bedroom house and had a grassy front yard too.

They made it inside and walked towards Lincoln's new room. It was a nice size; bigger than the walk-in closet he called a bedroom at home.

"Here it is kid, it's about 190 square feet. So, like I said, it should fit a bed, work desk and an entertainment center for you." Toll Road explained as Lincoln looked around the empty room, it had hickory flooring and even a nice stain finish.

"So...what type of bed am I getting?" Lincoln asked as Toll Road smiled and let him out to get a drink in the kitchen.

"I'll be getting you a small queen's bed, why do you ask?" Toll Road replied with his eyebrows raised due to the 11-year-olds question.

"It's just...my room back home was literally a walk-in closet. I barely had any privacy due to my sisters barging in on me and wanting me to be their step and fetch brother." Lincoln explained as Toll Road's eye shot open due to the info he had just heard.

"You're kidding me, right Lincoln?" Toll Road asked with confusion as Lincoln shook his head.

Toll Road never knew how bad it must be for Lincoln to get barely any privacy, so he thought the room was a bigger step into him being a father figure towards Lincoln.

"I see. Anyway, let's head to the furniture store and you can pick out the bed you like. After we're done with that, we'll head to the game store and pick you up a game system, so you're not bored while you're here." Toll Road explained as Lincoln ran up to him and hugged him.

Toll Road noticed and hugged him like he was his father, by now Lincoln knew he was in the care of a nice caretaker, good work and even going to school soon.

"Toll Road, when I start school, can you teach me martial arts and stuff like that?" Lincoln asked as the demolitions expert just smirked and ruffled the 11-year-olds hair.

"I plan on teaching you. Me, Lee, Yin and Barney will show you everything of how to be an Expendable. So you're ready to go out into the field when your 17." Toll Road explained as Lincoln beamed once more.

"Now let's go to the furniture and game store, so you can get what you need." Toll continued as Lincoln followed him to the garage, where a black sedan sat, looking like it hadn't been touched in a while.

"I also have a healthy dinner I'm making later I think you'll like." Toll said as Lincoln nodded and they set off towards the furniture store.

Downtown New Orleans

Toll drove towards the closest furniture store, Comeaux Furniture & Appliance. He pulled into the parking and noticed Lincoln sleeping and grinned. Toll parked the car in an empty space and shook the sleeping boy awake.

"Lincoln, wake up." Toll softly said as Lincoln's eyes opened slightly, he yawned and stretched a bit as he looked at the furniture store they were in front of.

"How long was I out for, Toll?" Lincoln asked him as he got out and walked towards the entrance of the building.

"About...35 minutes or so." Toll shrugged his shoulders as they entered the building and felt the cool air hitting them.

A woman who was in a white blouse and black pants, looked around early 40's noticed the two enter and instantly put on a positive looking face.

"Hi, welcome to Comeaux Furniture & Appliance. My name is Michelle, how can I help you today?" Michelle introduced herself as Toll smiled and shook her hand while explaining what he needed.

"Well, I was wondering if you guys had a small queen's bed, a work desk and a nice entertainment center for my son here." Toll explained as Michelle nodded slightly towards the man's info.

"Well, if you'll follow me, I can show you the queen's beds." Michelle led the two towards the queen beds, but then Lincoln saw a small queen's bed he liked.

Toll noticed Lincoln looking at a specific bed, it was a small queen's bed and even had red buffalo plaid bedding. He and Michelle walked towards the bed and looked at Lincoln with concern.

"Is that the bed you want, Lincoln?" Toll asked him as Lincoln turned his head and nodded at the bald man.

Toll Road then looked at the price, $495.99. It was around his price range. He then looked at Michelle and nodded while smirking.

"We'll take this one, Michelle." Toll told her as she nodded and took the price card and wrote, Reserved, on it while Lincoln smiled at his new bed he was getting.

They then made their way towards the work desks and explored the different styles, colors and even materials that the desks were made of.

"Do you have an L Shaped desk?" Lincoln asked Michelle as she smirked and nodded.

"Certainly, sweetie, follow me. It should be here...somewhere." Michelle before she found what she was looking for and had the two follow her.

Michelle brought them towards a L-Shaped Computer desk, and Lincoln even smirked at the design. It looked like it could rotate and move easily too, so he thought that one would work.

"That's the one." Lincoln said as Toll chuckled as Michelle marked the desk, Reserved, as well. The trio then went towards the entertainment centers of all colors and sizes. Lincoln then saw a nice and small TV entertainment console center that had 2 cabinets.

"That's the one, Toll." Lincoln said as Toll patted him on the shoulder softly and let Michelle know that is all they'd be needing.

"I can have these all delivered to your address sir, if that's fine with you." Michelle asked Toll Road as he nodded and reached out to shake her hand, file paperwork for the delivery and pay her up front.

After a little while of waiting, Toll Road and Lincoln walked out of the store with a smile on both of their faces. Toll had paperwork for the delivery tomorrow when they would be bringing Lincoln's new furniture.

"Now, let's get you a game system. Just so you'll have something to do, if you get back to the house from school and no one is there." Toll explained as Lincoln just sat there and smiled like he was the luckiest boy alive.

They drove towards the nearest game store, it had game consoles, video games and even game accessories too.

Toll parked the car and the two got out to walk inside the nice game store. As soon as they walked in, they were immediately greeted by the game nerd behind the counter who honestly looked around his early 20's.

"Hi, welcome to GameStop." The man introduced himself as Toll nodded slightly and tapped Lincoln on the shoulder.

"Which game system do you want to get?" Toll asked Lincoln as he looked towards the consoles on the racks behind the counter.

"The Xbox One." Lincoln replied as Toll nodded and they both headed towards the counter where the young clerk stood behind.

"Hi, my name is Steve, how can I help you sir?" Steve said as Toll Road told him what he was looking for.

"Do you have the Xbox One?" Toll asked him as he turned around a bit and back again to reply positively.

"Yes, we do actually, that one just came in this morning." Steve explained as Toll Road pulled out his wallet to fish out his credit card to pay for the system.

"We'll take it, and...what shooting games do you have for it?" Toll continued as Steve looked on his computer and a beep came up letting him know he was in luck.

"We have 3 shooting games, all 3 are Call of Duty." Steve finished explaining as he prepared the credit card scanner.

"I'll take those 3 games also." Toll continued as Steve resumed with the payment.

"Now sir, these games are rated M for mature, are you ok with your son playing these types of games?" Steve asked as Toll Road put on a serious face.

"Yes, he has seen much worse...trust me. No offense too." Toll replied as Steve just chuckled.

Minutes later, Lincoln was walking out with Toll Road while holding his new game system. He felt so relieved he chose this option instead of jail, he also felt glad he could resume school.

The car ride back to the house was genuinely nice and quiet, it did take about 35 minutes to get home. Toll peeked at Lincoln every now and then to see him sleeping. It was a sweet sight, Toll had tried to ask out girls in high school, but it never worked out well in the end due to his schedule. He also had an extremely high case of APD, so it never was his cup of tea.

Once they got back, it was 10 to 5. Lincoln was still asleep when Toll pulled the car into the garage, he killed the engine and noticed the boy was still snoozing. He carried him inside and let him doze off on the couch until Hale came over to hang with him.

45 Minutes Later

Lincoln started to wake up and stretched but was unfamiliar with his surroundings. He then heard whistling and turned to see Toll Road in the kitchen cooking dinner. He got up and went to ask for a drink.

"Well, look who's up." Tool said with a smirk. Lincoln just smirked back and rubbed his eyes, knowing it was a good nap he just woke up from.

"What's cooking Toll?" Lincoln asked him as he pulled the pan from the stove to show him dinner.

"Cajun Shrimp Pasta, with zucchini to go with it. Also, you want to set the table with forks and stuff?" Toll explained to Lincoln as he did what Toll instructed him to do, then the front door opened to a familiar black man.

"Hey Toll, you home!" It was Caesar, and he was happy than a hungry baby at a topless bar for some apparent reason. He walked into the kitchen to see his friend and the newest recruit setting the table.

"Hey Caesar, you hungry? Toll asked his fellow brother in arms as he went to get a cup of ice-cold water since it was a bit humid outside.

"Where were you guys by the way?" Hale asked as Toll then got plates out for them to get their food.

"Lincoln and I went to get some furniture for him, the extra room I have is now his room. I also got him an Xbox, just in case if he gets bored and if he gets home from school before we get here." Toll explained as he nudged Lincoln a tiny bit and heard a slight chuckle from him as well.

The 3 made their plates and started to eat. But 5 minutes into eating, Toll cleared his throat and put on a stern face. It did get Lincoln's attention quick, so he just sat there and listened to what Toll had to say.

"Now Lincoln, you will have chores, ok. All you'll be doing is taking the garbage out and making sure your room is spotless, can you do that?" Toll finished explaining as Lincoln nodded.

"Good, now the furniture won't be here until tomorrow. So, you'll have to crash on the couch, that ok with you Lincoln?" Toll continued as Lincoln just smirked and nodded.

"Sounds good Toll." Lincoln replied and went back to eating.

The rest of the dinner, the 3 were cracking jokes and having a blast until Lincoln to fall asleep. So, he changed into his pajama's Church got him and made camp on the couch. Toll and Caesar got out a couple beers and drank until they both passed out from being too drunk or being too tired.

A/N: Holy moly, another one done! Anyway, I hope you loved this one, I did my best to add some little background info about Toll Road. Also tell me what you thought of Pop Pop and Chandlers parts in this chapter. Alrighty Me-Harties, I have to go but until then...SEE YOU GUYS LATER!
