Chapter 382.
This was supposed to be some idea from avenger44, but since I looked back on all of his concepts and what not, I decided to just add this one to the aftermath from Doctor Reality's requested from last chapter. Enjoy guys.
(The Loud House.)
Lincoln wakes up and he looks to his legs and he recalls that he is kinda sore after the fight he had with Jeffrey, he then sees Luna sitting at his bed side and smiling at him. "Morning little brother, sleep well?"
Lincoln nods. "Yeah, and still a bit sore with my legs feeling kinda hurt from yesterday."
Luna then hugs Lincoln. "I am so happy you're not in critical little brother, I don't wanna lose you and Jordan again!" Luna then strokes his white hair and she kisses his cheeks and then forehead.
Lincoln smiles and accepts the hug. "At least it was all done with and Edison and his new posse are gonna be sent to someplace else, but we have to be ready for when another enemy comes back to attack us."
They then depart from the hug and Luna gives him his single crutch for him to use, he doesn't need tow since his legs only feel sore from the not so deep cut. Lincoln then puts on the necklace that was what he got from Luna from his birthday last year.
Luna then has an idea. "How about we call our friends for an awesome hang out today at the mall, we could use it before I gotta go to a gig tonight."
Lincoln smiles. "That sounds like a pretty radical idea sis." They both use their phones and contact their friends and tell them where to meet them, they then leave the bedroom and head to the bathroom where Lincoln sees all of his sisters are waiting in line.
"Morning Lincoln, how are you feeling little brother?" Leni is the one who goes over and she hugs him.
"A bit sire, but I can manage" replied Lincoln as he hugs her back, and then Lucy joins in. Lincoln knows what this is all about still. "Guys, I'm fine and still walking, there's no need to be worried."
Lynn Jr goes towards him. "Bro, we have all the rights to be worried, that jerk Carson hurt you and took you down and… And he almost got the beat on you, and we nearly lost you bro." She wipes away some tears and this makes Luan go and hug her.
"We really were worried when he had a weapon that seemed to be better than yours and after what happened, we're all kinda on edge as to what might happen next" replied Luan.
Lincoln departs from the hug. "I know guys, and I get it. But I'm still here and I'm still walking and there is no way to hell am I going down so easily, you guys know how tough I am when it comes to these kinds of things."
"We know, we just don't want this to happen again Lincoln" said Lucy. Lincoln pets her head and kisses her forehead, and then she hugs him.
Lisa also hugs him. "The chances of another attack could be possible, which is why I was thinking of making some enhancements to Lucifer and make him as strong as the weapon Jordan, got which is named Queen. Or we could establish a meet up with FutureTech in making your melee weapon as great as what Jordan has."
Lincoln smirks. "Thanks Lisa and I'll think about it."
The door opens and coming out are the twins who had finished and they go over and they hug Lincoln. Lincoln knows with this kind of stuff happening to him right now, it's only a matter of time before Lori comes to the town to check on Lincoln, Jessica Carson did show up yesterday.
Then all the eagles fly in and embrace Lincoln. 'Yup, it's gonna be one of those days now.'
(Royal Woods Mall.)
The purple Ferrari arrives and coming out is Lincoln and Luna, though Luna helped Lincoln open his door and hands him his crutch and they walk towards the mall. The eagles all come down and land onto the roof of the mall.
"So, you think Gretchen is gonna tell ya more about her demented family member from yesterday?" asked Luna.
"Chances she will, she looked like she knew who the man was and I don't think her family likes that man either and they might have heard what happened and possibly don't want anything to do with him anymore" replied Lincoln.
They then spot all their friends waiting outside the mall and they are many. Sam, Simon, Stella, Clyde, Chloe, Liam, Tabby, Rusty, Polly, Zach, Giggles, Gretchen, Richie, Flat Tire, Jenny, Cristina, Trent, Kat, Lance, Joy, Artie, Cookie, Emma, Paige, Renee and they're newest member to the RW Cool Crew: Chad.
"Hey guys, looks like we're all here and…"Lincoln sees that someone is missing. "Guys, where the heck is- Oof!" Lincoln is being hugged by Jordan as she kisses his cheeks.
They all share a few laughs from that. "Sorry man, she wanted this to happen, and so we stayed quiet and let the good times roll" replied Simon.
"This was all her plan and we wanted to record the whole thing too" replied Clyde as he and the others had their phones ready.
Lincoln chuckles and he hugs Jordan and gives her a quick kiss. "Well, this made my day and I'm glad you made every bit of it as great as I always know you are."
Jordan giggles. "Oh you, also how're you feeling?"
Lincoln looks to his legs. "Kinda sore still, but I'll manage. Just as long as I don't run or do anything that involves moving fast on my feet, also how are things with the park after what happened yesterday?"
"Dude, the park will be unavailable for everyone until Monday" replied Zach. "Those FutureTech guys are coming here to begin fixing the whole place and making it look kinda better than it was before and as requested, they won't move or change the same bench where you and Jordan met. To the town, it's kinda historical for some reason."
Lincoln chuckles. "Can't blame them, that's how Jordan and I interacted and sparked the love we have now. Well, we have much to talk about and I think we should do it in the mall."
They all nod and head into the mall and see what they can do and the eagles follow behind them.
But then Leslie's limo drives by and then stops and backs up and is about to park itself, but then the tires are blown. "What the heck?! Why?!"
Leslie and her friends come out. "We don't have time for this, let's follow them now!" Leslie's friends nod and then she looks to her driver. "I want this limo back up and running, and fast!" She then races into the mall with her friends to follow Lincoln and his friends.
The driver sighs. "Why didn't she stay longer in the hospital?" He then gets back to fixing the tire of the limo.
Truth be told, Leslie and her friends are still pretty banged up. They did got out of the hospital, but they have a few bandages on them and Karen and Regina both have a cast on the right arm, Chastity has a cast on her left leg and is using crutches, while Hope has a cast to her left arm and Leslie just has a bandage to her right cheek and her left arm.
They walk around the mall and talk about some stuff. "So, what's the word for all of us on the same team for the Dodge ball tournament?" asked Lincoln.
"Well, after what happened. Coach Keck said that the whole event will be moved to the 21st of November, so we have tons of practice time before it actually begins" replied Trent.
Lincoln sighs in relief. "Thanks man, because sure as heck I am in no condition to do anything if the tournament is inbound and plus this will give us more time to train up before the big tournament against Beaverton."
"Dude, there is no way to heck the Royal Woods Middle Eagles are ever gonna lose" said Polly. "Plus, it's just gonna be me, Simon, Stella, Trent, Lance, Artie, Mollie and Jenny who need training. You and Rosato have the skills and the killer intentions to truly carry the whole dang team."
"She's right Lincoln" replied Liam. "with you and Jordan leading the team, there sure ain't no way the team can lose in dodge ball, heck you guys win in every dodge ball session we have on Thursdays and everyone wants to be on the winning side."
Jordan chuckles. "As good as a compliment that was, we do not wanna be the ones dubbed to be the only who carry the team. We're not like Lynn, we don't rely on our own skills. We fight togher, ride together, play together and have each other's backs. We are the whole team and we stand as one."
Luna chuckles. "Taking in some speech lessons as usual Jordan, just like the little bro."
"So, with that being said. Gretch, mind telling us more about the man named Lucas G. Warwick?" asked Sam. All of them look to Gretchen, they all wanna know who that man is and why she knows him and why he has her family's last name.
Gretchen knew it was time to tell them. "Lucas G. Warwick is the cousin of my dad and the troubled kid in the family. He was never the ambitious type and doesn't have any goals in mind to look forward too and that made him jealous of the other family members who were better than he was."
"He was always envious of how successful each of the Warwick's have been. My dad, my two uncles and the three cousins to my dad's side, but Lucas was the one who had it hard since he has only his mom and no siblings. His father died in the Vietnam war, after his dad disobeyed orders and started killing the civilians there."
"This resulted in his death in the hands of his own commanding officer and when word got out, that when Lucas got dark and was against the whole US stuff and failed in his studies fast. He then tried to be better, but he couldn't and so he became the low-life in the family and lives in the house where he grew up and then his mom passed away and he was all alone."
"All members of the Warwick family have lovers and families and I have eight cousins and I get along with them well and we all have our own goals to look ahead to and that just made Lucas jealous and hate us all more, but I did not expect him to even work at where Jordan's dad works."
Jordan sighs. "Yeah, my dad told me about him and why he was fired and the arrested. He is one perverted freak of nature."
Gretchen sighs. "Trust me, he was like that at the Warwick family reunion. He tried to harass the female members of the family and… and tried to do the same to me." They're all shocked to hear this.
"But, because of what he did, he was casted out of the family will and the riches were split to my dad and his cousins and siblings and he was left out with nothing, except for a book on good morals which he may have tossed away or burned, that was the last time I have heard from that scum bag and I am so glad he's gonna be going back to jail and this time, no one can bail him out!"
They all see so much anger and hatred in the eyes of Gretchen, she literally hated the man she was related to.
"Okay, so let's tone down the issue at hand and not lose our cool" replied Emma.
Gretchen then calms down. "Sorry guys, I'm just so glad that man is not gonna be an issue anymore."
"Well, we should see what we can all do in the mall now, perhaps some time in the mall could ease our thoughts after what had happened yesterday. Also I haven't seen Darrel, Allison or even Laurence" said Lincoln. "Where the heck are they?"
"Darrel said he has to help his dad with the Royal Woods Theater, someone is planning to perform there soon" replied Tabby.
"And from what I heard, Allison and Laurence are getting all we need ready for December, which is when the club sets up for our first ever Gamers Club tournament against a rival school and the game of choice is League of Legends" replied Simon.
"Awesome!" said Lincoln. He then looks to the rest of the group. "Well, we can talk more about that stuff later, for now let's split up and see what we can do at the mall."
They all nod and split up.
Lincoln, Jordan, Luna, Sam and Tabby head for the music store to see what they can do there.
Renee, Liam, Zach, Artie, Chad and Lance check out the comic book store to see what's new.
Stella, Paige, Sadie, Richie and Jenny go to the electronics store and they meet up with Hassan.
Clyde, Chloe and Emma make their way to the cooking store and they are interested in the new cooking stuff they have.
Gretchen and the other gals head for Reiningers and see what they have in store from Leni and her new fashion line called: Thank goodness it's the month of giving!
Trent, Flat Tire, Polly and Rusty check out the sports place, though Rusty is checking out the shoes only.
As they split up, Leslie and her friends see this and groan in annoyance. "So, we follow Lincoln right?" asked Regina.
"We follow Lincoln, now where the heck did he go with that Rosato girl?!" asked Leslie. They weren't there to know what they had in store, they were too slow to even head there.
"Looks like we'll have to split up and see where they went" said Hope. "But they could be anywhere in the mall."
"Then let's get going!" said Leslie. They all split up, but they're starting to see that splitting up is a bad idea since some of them have casts and are still sore after what happened when Leslie's limo took a hit from an explosive.
(An hour later.)
Lincoln, Luna, Sam and Jordan arrive to Reiningers and look for the girls there and they see them talking to Fiona, Miguel and Leni, and they look like they have lots of bags with them. What did they buy?!
"Hey girls, the rest of the crew is waiting at the food court for us and we came here to look for you girls, why were you all taking so long anyway?" asked Jordan.
"Sorry Jordan, we were too occupied in the outfits they had here and it's so awesome and so suits all of us and we're gonna surely wear them when thanksgiving begins!" said Cookie.
"I have never seen such an awesome fashion line for the month when Thanksgiving begins, this is so my first time seeing them and Leni is such a fashion genius with them!" said Gretchen.
"Thanks girls, this was something I came up with after Halloween and I knew that we'd have tons of people who would love them and I made as many as I can with the help of the FutureTech manufacturing thing" said Leni.
"And we have Lincoln and Jordan to thank for that one, they know help with Reiningers and the rest of the mall with mass producing some stuff we all sell" replied Mrs. Carmichael who arrives.
"It was the least we could do" replied Lincoln. "And if Jordan does wear what Leni made, then sure as heck I'd like to see what she would look like wearing them."
Jordan blushes. "Oh, well maybe I should get some too and maybe when Thanksgiving hits, I might be the only one you'll be focused on." This makes everyone else laugh.
"Then how about me? Would I look good in them?" They all stop laughing and they know who it is.
"You gotta be kidding me?" said Fiona. They all see it was Leslie Silver and…. Yeah, it's just her. The rest of her pals aren't with her because they split up and they're kinda slow when they're moving because they're still kinda sore.
"What the heck do you want Silver?" said Leni. "Also, you're band from this place!"
"So what? I can come whenever I want, ban or no ban I am the richest girl around town and I wanna see this so-called thanksgiving fashion line you have and I wanna judge it to see how lame it'll look like" replied Leslie.
"Get out of here Leslie, this is not your place to be mean and judge people with your cruel sense of humor" said Jordan.
Leslie scoffs. "I do not take orders from you and I also came here to check on my lover and how he's doing after that mean boy tried to hurt him."
Lincoln is annoyed by this. "Again, I am not your lover and I never will be. I'm with Jordan now and I suggest you get out of her before we all start to make sure you stay down for the count." Everyone else looks to her in anger and they all do not want her here.
Leslie smirks. "And what are all of you gonna do about it?"
Leslie is then tossed out of Reiningers and lands onto the floor and who tossed her out? Gretchen Warwick. "And stay out you retard!" They all go "Oh!" at what she just said to Leslie.
Leslie gets up and looks to them in anger. "You can't do this to me! My name is Leslie Silver and one day I am gonna own this clothing store, this mall and soon this town! Heck, I'm gonna own the state!"
Lincoln is not impressed by this. "No you can't and sure as heck we are not gonna let you take over what we all treasure dearly."
"Yeah, so make like a pile of washed up cash and just leave!" said Miguel. "Because you still got bandages on you and it would be a shame if you got hurt more."
Leslie chuckles at this. "Oh really? And how do you all intend to make me go back and get patched up?!"
Mrs. Carmichael smirks. "This." She then replaces the sign on the sale to 76 percent off and a buy one take one deal as well.
Leslie is confused. "I don't get it, what the heck is….." She then feels the ground shake. "Oh no." And she is run over by tons of women who come racing in and wanting to buy what has been on sale and they trample all over the 12 year old girl, Leslie Silver.
The others all back up and watch as this happens and they see the tons of customers all over the place. "Well, looks like we're gonna be busy" said Fiona.
Lincoln and the other walks away from Reiningers and head for the food court to meet up with their friends and the Leni and her friends get ready to handle this massive sale that Mrs. Carmichael just made.
Meanwhile: Hope, Karen, Regina and Chastity all gather around Leslie. "Are you okay Leslie?" asked Hope.
Leslie is face first to the ground and she has so many shoe prints all over her. "Where the heck were you girls?"
"Leslie, you told us to split up, remember?" said Chasity. "Also, half of us are still sore from what happened a day ago."
Leslie sighs. "Right, okay someone take me to the hospital, now."
To be continued...
A/N: This is the aftermath, but is it over? Nope. Next up: Lori and the College girls come to see the one place they have never been to and with the help of Gretchen Warwick. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
