Yakov was feeling pleased with himself about joe he helped Luna Frost and his friends thwart the Duke's plans to become filthy, stinking rich by robbing the Cent. The day was saved once again by the heroes of Royal Woods, and everything was at peace again (for now). For the time being, until something that involves fighting crime comes again sooner or later, Luna and Lincoln were having a little ice skating practice together on the forzen lake in the park. While Luna was a pro on the ice skating, Lincoln himself was having... some difficulty trying to be as good as his big sister.

"Come on bro, you can do it." said Luna. "Just keep tryin' to keep balance."

"whoa-whoa-whoa! I'm trying Luna. It's... whoa! been a while since I've done thiiiiiissss!" the next thing Lincoln remembered was slipping and sliding to a pile if show, landing on his back, looking annoyed with how much he was faltering in trying to ice skate once again.

Luna smirked and she rushed over to help Lincoln out with some more practicing. "You okay?" she asked as she was gently putting him back up with a helping hand.

"Yeah. I'm good. Like you said, I need more practice."

"That's right, little bro." then she pat him on the back. "All you need to do is get back in the swing of things in ice skatin'. But, why don't we take a breather?"

"Yeah, good idea." they looked at their surroundings and sat on a nearby bench. Of course, they had to brush the snow off for them to sit on. Looking ahead, they saw a couple of loons calling and waddling on the icy lake with babies.

It was a common sight to see a loon in parks and woodland areas of Michigan, or the more northern states. Not long after, the birds flew off in the grey, winter sky and it was a little quiet in the park. "So I hear that Yakov got a nice reward from Jackal after beating the Duke with us."

"Yeah, I know. He texted me about it. About five grand for helping us."

"Five-thousand dollars?" Lincoln looked a little surprised, "wow, that's great. I wonder what he's doing to do with that money."

"Beats me, Linc. Beats me. And I hope he finds his son someday."

"Yeah, it can be hard for a guy to be away from his son like that for so long." Lincoln admitted. "Maybe Leon will turn out one of these days. Say... maybe with the recognition, maybe his son will come find him."

"Possibly."

"Well I hope they keep that crazy Duke behind bars for as long as he is nuts."

"Totally. That old man just came here from a crazy train. If Luan saw him, she would have pulled out a cuckoo clock to point how crazy that old dude is." she imitated the sound of a cuckoo clock to make her point. "And maybe Living Taser and Hairdoom also."

"Yeah, they need to be put in a secure funny farm." Lincoln said. "If only we had something to take their powers away so they're no longer dangerous."

"Like you said, dude, not every supervillain has to have powers to be a supervillain."

"Totally." From the distance, there was Yakov, and he looked rather joyous at the moment. "Ah, here are my new comrades now." he shouted in enthusiasm. "I've been looking all over for you kids."

"Hey Yakov." Both the siblings said.

"I have myself some wonderful news." Yakov began explaining, "I think I saw my son in the mall today."

"Wow. Are you sure it was him?" Lincoln said.

"I am absolutely positive, Lincoln. I am a face person, and I have forget a face when I see one with my own eyes. I am completely certain I have seen him in the arcade playing Street Rumble 3."

Lincoln made a happy gasp when he heard that name. "I love that game! Did you talk to him?"

A small frown appeared on the cybernetic man's face and slowly bent his head down in sadness. "Well," he said, "I still don't know if I can face him looking like this. Or my own ex-wife. I... I want to see her too, but I don't know if she can handle the truth either."

"Come on, Yakov." Luna said. "Don't be a shy dude. Just go talk to him and tell him you love and miss him."

"I see. But, I just need to think of it some more. I want to see Leon again after all these years, but, I don't know if I can."

"You can, Yakov." Lincoln urged him. "Just go talk to him. And anyway, did you buy something from the money Jackal gave you?"

"Ho ho ho, mist certainly. I have managed to purchase some renovations for the walls in my house so they wouldn't be moldy anymore. And I have managed to get myself a person to clean inside and dust away the cobwebs."

"Nice." Luna said. "Glad you are gettin' paid like that."

"So what crimes will you stop next?" asked Lincoln.

"Well, I've been told that the local pawn shop is in a hostage crisis right now. But I am unsure." Yakov's phone began go ring and answered it. "Hello? Oh. Jackal, what is it? Oh. It's true? Then I have no time to lose." then he hung up. "Sorry friends, but duty calls."

"Need our help?" asked Luna

"You can if you want to," the man replied, "but I do not think I need any help. You can come and watch how i handle evil doers."

Lincoln and Luna followed Yakov to the pawn shop and it looked a little serious. Hostages held at gunpoint by men wearing black masks and holding AK-47 guns. "Wow. That looks insane." Lincoln said

"Not to worry, I will deal with this." To himself, he said: "Leon, dad will make you proud."
