While playing video games with Clyde and Simon, Sam's younger brother, Luna was participating in some more target practice with her ice powers. Mason was with her, along with Sam and Yakov themselves. The four of them were doing well in fighting off the target dummies and movable robots that Lisa made for them all in their time of practicing with fighting crime. Luna was hesitating and looked at the backdoor. While she was doing well, Luna was worried about Lincoln, as she wanted him to practice on these dummies as well. Granted, Lincoln doesn't have any powers, but he has helped Luna save the day a few times before, and she said to Lisa: "Lis, I'm gonna bring Lincoln out here and practice with us"

"I see. I'm starting to feel that he should be practicing since he has helped you on more than one occasion." Lisa said.

"Yeah, he should at least practice with us. He should be like the trooper if he is a hero like us. If someone takes his life, then my bro will take his too." then Luna went inside, and found him sitting on the couch with Simon and Clyde, and he was having fun. "Bro?" said Luna, "I want ya to practice on taking out those robots and dummies. Nothing personal, but... you are a hero like me and Color Fire, and you've stopped the bad guys with us a few times before. And I want you to remember those skills against the baddies next time."

"Oh. Do I have to?" Lincoln asked. "I mean, I know how to fight and use the beam sword and ray gun. You've seen how capable I am."

"I know, dude." Luna smirked. "But, I just want you to be safe and anything can happen. You could get shot, sliced by a sword, or mangled by a crazed maniac like Hairdoom or Living Taser. So come on, let's practice what you can do."

"Well, okay. Let me get my beam sword and ray gun." Lincoln said before heading to his room to get his weapons and went back downstairs to go outside and practice on the dummies with his weapons. He was practicing for about an hour and he was getting a little tired (probably because he doesn't have as much stamina as Luna or the others did.)

"Okay, let's see if I can get this down." the boy said to himself. He readied his sword and sliced at a couple of practice dummies with it, slicing them into bits. Luna looked on impressively, and she knew that Lincoln still has fighting spirit in him. A couple of attack robots were coming towards Lincoln, but the boy was smarter than the mechanical devices estimated.

Before those robots could think of anything else, Lincoln swiftly pulled out his laser gun from his holster, and quickly fired at the charging robots. Every one of those robot dummies short-circuited from the effects of the laser ray, and they immediately fell apart like scrap.

"Nicely done, Lincoln." said Yakov. "Not as fierce as my own son, but very impressive."

"Thanks, Yakov." Lincoln said.

Then the white-haired boy continued practicing for another hour and he took a little break. His arms were a little tired from swinging his beam sword, or raising one arm to fire the fuh at his opponents, but he did train well and hard. Of course, he was wearing his winter attire so he wouldn't catch the flu or a cold.

"Dude, that was totally awesome." Luna patted his hack gently.

"Thanks, Luna." Lincoln smiled gratefully. "My arms are getting a little tired."

"Ah, my arms are getting tired too, Lincoln." said Mason. "So don't sweat it. C'est la vie." as a matter of fact, the other heroes decided to take a break from target practice too.

"Lincoln, we're about to see the giant boggle king as a boss." Simon called.

Lincoln gasped and he said: "coming Simon! I cannot miss this opportunity!" he hurriedly ran back in the house to fight this boss. "You're lucky to have a brother like him, Luna." Sam said. "Simon's really glad to have a friend like him."

"I know." Luna agreed.

"So Yakov, have you got anything about your don yet?" Mason asked

"Not yet. I have searched in the mall and arcade, but I have not seen him." then he had a thought, and he said: "what if my robotic body scared him off? Gah! He must think I'm a monster.'

"No. Come on." Luna said. "We talked about this."

The other four heroes went inside and all hung out together around the three boys playing their game. "How long have you guys been playing?" Sam asked

"About two hours." Clyde answered. "But, we're almost done with it. As soon as we defeat the evil boggle king, we are taking a break for our wrists and hands.'

"Yeah, this guy is tough though." said Simon. "But I have to beat him somehow."

"Well, I'm sure you guys will get it eventually." Mason smirked. Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Yakov was the one who answered it. What he saw next, set his heart beating like a drum and the world stood still for a second at who he was greeting. "L-Leon?" he recognized it. Indeed, it was his own son. Next to the boy was a lady with a good over her head in the cold, snowy weather. "Annie!"

"Yakov!" the woman exclaimed with joy before hugging him.

"Dad, I am a glad you are still alive." Leon embraced him after. It was funny; for Lincoln, his voice sounded a little like him, but a little deeper.

Another thing Lincoln noticed was that he saw a full view of Leon and he looked exactly like Lincoln! Except there were a couple of differences. He had jet-black hair, a red jacket with light-blue Jean's and he didn't have buck teeth at all. His head was also round like Lincoln's, and had a few freckles on his face.

Getting a closer look at him, and he looked like an evil clone of Lincoln. "Leon, I am so glad to see you again." Yakov had a few tears in his eyes. He noticed Lincoln, and said: "Lincoln, this is my son and ex-wife: Leon and Anastasia."

"Hello." Lincoln said.

"Ooh, you look like me a little." Leon addressed the white-haired boy. My face looks... similar to yours."

"I... I know." both boys looked at one another and it was like the were looking at themselves in the mirror. They even had their hand reaching to the same position as the other person was. Could this boy be a doppelganger?

"Yakov, how long exactly are you?" Sam asked curiously.

"Abour seventy years old."

"Wait, shouldn't your son be a little older?" asked Luna

"I know what you mean," Yakov replied, "but I forgot to mention you that: thanks to this bionic suit I am wearing as my new body, I have a longer lifespan and it slows down my aging process a little."

"Yakov, what happened?" Annie asked.

The poor cybernetic human sighed and he said: "i... hoped you would never see me like this." and he turned his head sideways in shame. "Leon, I didn't want you to see how much if a freak or a monster I have become."

"A monster?" Leon asked. "But dad, you're not a monster. You're still you. But how did you get this way?"

"A very bad car crash, son."

"A car crash?" Annie said. "We both thought you were dead.'

"I didn't want you to find me." Yakov remarked. "I was worried that you would think of me as a beast or a monster."

His own son frowned with sympathy. "Monster? Dad, you're not a monster, or a beast." he touched his father's hand with his own. "Although I'm curious on how you turned into this."

Yakov sighed, and he said: "well, I might as well tell you since the dog is out of the bag." the cybernetic man cleared his throat, and clasped his hands together with a small exhale. "I almost died after the accident, but some scientist saw my head and saw that I still had life in me. In fact, I was barely alive with a small percentage of my life force left inside of my head. As you know, the brains are the batteries of the human being."

"So he turned you into a cool cyborg?"

"Da. He did. But I didn't want it to happen to me. I just wanted sweet death to take me away into the afterlife and be rid of my pain. But then, Luna here convinced me that I can put it to good use."

"Now he's a superhero, dude." Luna added

"Right you are, Luna." Yakov pointed. "And I... saw you at the mall the other day, and I wanted to see you, but... I had second thoughts."

"But, why didn't you tell us you were okay?" Anastasia asked her ex-lover.

"I told you: I didn't really want to be found. Not like this anyway. But, how did you find me?"

"We saw you on TV, dad." Leon clarified.

"Ohhhh. I forgot about that."

"I didn't think your son... looks a little like me, Yakov. Not that it's bad, I'm just surprised."

"Me too." Leon said. "Lincoln, I don't mean to make it awkward for you." he ruined the back of his head awkwardly.

"No, it's fine. It just surprised me. That's all."

"Well anyone can have a look-alike, Lincoln." Lisa said. "Just look at me, I studied that I have a few hundred look-alikes living in a variety of countries."

"Dad. You're not a monster." Leon reassured him. "I love you. Cyborg or human, you're still my dad." then he hugged him tightly.

"And you will always be my lover." Anastasia added before joining in on the hug. "Always."

Lincoln, Luna, Sam, and Mason saw how touching this scene was to them, and Mason said: "why don't you all make up for lost time? I'm sure you have much to talk about."

Yakov smiled, and looked at the French-American boy before saying: "I think that is a good idea, Ma- i mean, Color Fire. Leon, why don't we build a snowman together?"

'Sounds fun, dad."
