Here you go true believers, chapter 3 of Spider-Linc, now we get to see the side-effects of that spider bite.

Also, did any of view notice the Spider-man Villain references last chapter? In the part where they were at the lab?"


He felt numb. All feeling in his body was cut off, he noticed that all he could see was darkness and he also felt a slight pain form his hand, he remembered getting home from his school field trip the other day, he recalled getting bitten by one of the spiders there that had escaped from its prison. The pain and stiffness he felt then was excruciating, it was both painful and at the same time life changing in a way. Everything else after that, was all a complete blur, he had no idea where he was, or what was happening. All that he did know was that the initial pain he felt started to waver and he didn't feel any of it anymore. Slowly, his eyes began to open and he begun to collect his surroundings, he was inside Lisa's room, he was laying in some kind of medical bed and had bandage on his right hand, he saw a screen that had an image of his body. "What?" Lincoln questioned, rubbing his eyes. "What happened?"

"Poo-Poo!" a young voice squealed. He turned and saw his baby sister Lily in her crib, she had just saw him wake up and squealed happily, she reached her hands out to him.

"Lily?" he groggily got up from the bed and moved to pick her up, the infant Loud smothered Lincoln's face with kisses much to his amusement. "Woah easy, I'm happy to see you too." he chuckled.

By that time, Lisa had just walked in with a clipboard. "Okay, time to see if there's been any-" she stopped herself as soon as she saw her older brother. "L-Lincoln?!" se sputtered in shock, not expecting this development.

"Lisa?" the white haired boy questioned. Before he knew it, the young prodigy hugged him around his waist tightly.

"Oh thank Newton." she sighed in relief. "We were all worried."

"Worried? Why?"

His 4 year old sister stared at him confusedly. "Don't you remember? You lost your consciousness and fainted right on the spot. Just a minute please." Lisa poked her head out the door. "Everyone! Lincoln's awake!" she called out to downstairs.

Lincoln heard a rumbling sound start to make its way upstairs and in only a short amount of time, all of his other sisters went inside the room and gasped as they saw their newly awoken brother.

"Lincoln!" they all hugged him from all sides, relieved to see him okay.

"Oh bro, you scared us for a minute there buddy." Luna caressed his face.

"We were so worried Linky!" Leni nuzzled his cheek affectionately.

Lori scanned him over with motherly worry sketched across her face. "Do you feel like fainting again? Should we get you to a doctor?" she askd with so many questions.

"Guys, wait a minute." Lincoln said, struggling to break free from their combined grip. "What happened?" he asked. "Why am I in Lisa's room?"

"Linc, don't you remember?" Lynn told him. "You completely fainted right in front of us."

Her younger brother blinked. "I-I did?"

"I just told you." Lisa deadpanned.

"You were out for about a few hours." Luan told him.

"Yeah, it was when we saw that icky spider bite on your hand." Lola added, rubbing it with tender care.

Lana nodded. "You were all sweaty and pale like Lucy." she turned to the goth. "No offence."

"None taken." Lucy replied before turning to Lincoln. "Tell me big brother, were you really bitten by a spider?"

Lincoln thought back to the field trip earlier this morning and remembered what happened, the bite, the numb feeling, and he slight pain he felt for a while. It was all coming back to him. "Yeah, I was." he finally answered. "It was when I was at the field trip. It crawled on my hand nd I guess I didn't notice it." he rubbed his head. "I think I'm alright."

Then, the sound of the front door opening was heard.

"LINCOLN!"

The white haired boy recognized the overly concerned voice of his mother, Rita Loud. "Mom, dad, we're in Lisa's room!" Lori called out. The two patriarchs of the Loud family went into the room and the mother instantly scooped up her only son.

"Oh, my baby boy!" she cried in relief then smothered him with kisses. "Thank goodness!"

Lincoln looked to his dad for some answers.

"Lori called and told us about what happened at the field trip and when you fainted." his father explained. "Your mother could barely control herself during the ride home." he ruffled his son's hair. "Glad you're okay kiddo."

"Okay?!" Rita repeated incredulously. "How an you say that Lynn?! Lincoln got bit by a spider!" she sets her son down and looked at his hand seeing the bite. "Oh god, does it hurt honey?! Should we take you to a hospital?!"

"Mom, mom, take it easy." Lincoln eased his mother's worries. "Look it did hurt before, but now I'm starting to feel a little bit better."

"You sure son?" his dad asked, wanting to make sure. "I mean, we can go to a hospital, have you checked out."

His 4-year-old prodigy daughter interjected. "Actually father, that may not be necessary." the bespectacled Loud said. "After fainting, I instructed th others to place Lincoln in my room so I could overlook his condition." she began to explain. "At first, his entire body seemed to have suffered quite a bit from the bite, but judging from these readings" she read a paper, detailing Lincoln's health state. "It would seem that he has fully healed, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong from what I can tell."

"So, he'll be okay?" Luna asked hopefully.

"Presently, I have to say yes." Lisa answered, causing much needed relief from the family. "With all that taken care of, I suggest we all proceed to our slumber, it is already late."

Lynn Sr. nodded. "Right. Okay gang, come on, let's get to sleep." he told everyone who obeyed an went to their separate rooms, except for Luna who stayed behind.

"Sure you're alright bro?" she asked.

"It's alright Luna, I feel perfectly fine." he reassured her. His older rock star sister gave him one last hug before they both went to their rooms, leaving Lisa and Lily alone.

After putting Lily to bed, the young prodigy girl went back to her studies before she too would go to sleep, there was just one more thing she just had to look at. She didn't say anything before, because she didn't want the others to worry more, so kept it quiet until after they had all gone, it was something her scientific instruments detected something in Lincoln while he was unconscious, a form of anomaly on his DNA, it almost looked as if it had been tampered with and changed just a little slightly. Other than that, everything seems to be the same before, so she wasn't sure if it was a glitch or the real thing.

"Hmm. This needs further study." Lisa declared. "Might as well start tomorrow." she aid as she went on her bed and drifted off to sleep.


"Damn you Tetherby!" Dr. Curt Connors slammed his fists to his lab desk in anger. A few hours ago, he was reviewing the lab in Royal Woods, and it was then that he made a startling discovery. One of the genetically altered spiders that was kept in captivity had somehow gotten loose and was nowhere in sight, with all he tests that were done on it, there's no telling what the effect of its bite could entail. He warned Tetherby that allowing children into one of their hihly experimental laboratories was a risky move.

"Curt? Is something wrong?"

The sound of an all too familiar female voice broke him out of his frustration. He looked to the entrance of his personal laboratory to see his loving wife, Martha enter with a concerned frown. "I heard a lot of commotion from here. You're not staying up late on another one of your experiments, are you? You know Billy will wake up and see what you're up to?"

Rubbing his temples, Curt addressed his wife. "No Martha, it's nothing like that." he reassured her. "Rather, I am just very frustrated with my employer at the moment."

That was all the answer Martha needed as she let out a groan and rubbed her own temples. "Don't tell me, Tetherby did something irresponsible again?" she guessed, of course at this point, it was a rhetorical question.

"Once again, you have come to an accurate conclusion, my dear?" he replied with a heavy sigh.

Martha shook her head, as she moved in closer to be embraced by her husband. "Honestly Curt, I don't know why you still work for that conceited, arrogant jerk. Guys like him only care about getting more money for their companies."

"Believe me Martha, you're in good company." Curt answered. "These last few years of working for him can be summed up as absolutely frustrating. He has no sense of security for his employees and for any potential accidents during a public presentation." he ranted, but then reminded her of something. "But of course, he's also the only one who will fund my research." he reminded her. "He can be a pain almost every day, but he does have enough money for me to work."

"You think it's too late to transfer to Stark Industries?" Martha asked.

"With all the work that's been done, I'm afraid so." her husband sighed. "If only Bruce was here, he always had a bright idea to help me. Ever since college."

"That's true." Martha nodded in agreement. "What is Bruce doing nowadays?"

"Last I heard, he was working on some military project with Betty. Gamma related, if I recall." Curt mused. "But back to the main topic, I just don't know how much longer I can deal with the likes of Tetherby. I might as well give him my other arm." he miserably looked over to his prosthetic one in sadness.

"Curt Connors, you stop right there." Martha sternly looked at the scientist in the eye. "The work you do may have to involve working for that man, but it helps provide not just for us but for our son too. Now come back to bed, you have work tomorrow." she guided her husband out of his lab and they went to their bedroom and drifted off to sleep.


As morning rose across Royal Woods, Lincoln Loud was sleeping quietly inside his room. He was quite comfortable to say the least, whatever pain he felt when the spider bit him was completely gone as if it were never there so there wasn't any discomfort as he was slumbering. Once the alarm clock went off, he suddenly slammed sown hard on the clock and it broke apart on impact in an impressive how of strength, making him wake up with a surprised shout.

"Ah!" he exclaimed once he heard the noise. "What just happened?" he looked to his clock and saw it destroyed. He stared at it for a few seconds. "Man, dad sure bought a cheap clock." he shook his head, not knowing that it was much more than that. He got up from the bed and changed out of his pajamas and into his regular clothes, getting out of his room, the white haired boy walked through the hallway of the first floor. He was behind Lori and they both waited for the person in the bathroom to get out.

"Morning Lori." he greeted to his older sister who was on the phone.

"Hey Lincoln." the eldest sibling waved without even looking but did a double take. "Lincoln? What are you doing up?" she asked.

Her younger brother raised an eyebrow at her. "I'm gonna brush my teeth and get ready for school?" he answered, thinking that it was obvious.

"B-But you were bitten by a spider." Lori pointed out. "Shouldn't you maybe take a sick day?"

Lincoln sighed, while he appreciated that his sisters can be protective of him, it can be annoying when they smother him too much. "I told you and everyone else already, I'm fine. That spider bite was just fleeting, it only hurt for just a little while."

The door opened and their comedy sister, Luan, came out. "All yours Lori." she then noticed her brother. "Lincoln? Why aren't you in bed? That spider bite might weave some trouble you know." she jokingly winked. "Get it?" her siblings groaned but she laughed nonetheless. "Ha ha! But seriously though, you should stay home little brother." she spoke honestly and seriously this time.

Lincoln could only shake his head in exasperation.

After finishing brushing his teeth, he made his way down to the dinner table and proceeded to eat breakfast, and once again he was doted on by his family, this time it was Leni and Luna.

"Linky, what if that spider come back and bites you again? Then, it might bite all of us." the fashionable teenager shivered at the thought.

"There's no way that could happen, Leni." Lincoln told her as he ate. "And you guys can stop worrying already." he told them. "I'm perfectly f-." a sudden sensation went through Lincoln's system as if some hair on the back of his head stood up and suddenly, he felt the urge to duck down under the table, which was a good instinct since had he not done so, he would have made contact with the incoming soccer ball that now only hits the wall.

Both him and his older sisters turned to the culprit which predictably, was Lynn who looked sheepish. "Um, oops?" she smiled nervously.

Her older sisters and younger brother looked at her with annoyed glares. "Lynn, you know about dad's rule about no kicking any balls in the kitchen. Didn't that incident with the hot sauce teach you anything?" Lincoln reminded her.

"Oh chill out Linc, that was like a long time ago." Lynn dismissed her brother's worries.

"I thought that was just last week?" Leni raised an eyebrow.

"That's because it was." Luna told her. "You're lucky Lincoln didn't get hit. Good dodge by the way, bro."

Her white haired brother got up and blinked. "Yeah...thanks..."

It wasn't actually luck that prevented Lincoln from being welted by the ball. In truth, he wasn't even aware that something was coming straight at him until he felt the sensation, almost as if something inside him told him that going under the table was the best course of action. Normally, he doesn't have such good instincts, him along with most of his family could never predict when Lynn would throw or kick one of her sports balls, especially him. Shrugging it off, Lincoln went out of the kitchen and into the living room, his backpack was on the couch and he picked it up. As he opened the door, the same sensation from before came back and he jumped out of the door before he could get wet by another one of Luan's buckets of water.

"Dang it." he heard Luan from inside. "I'll get the drop on you yet, Lincoln. Double dang it, I used an old pun. Gotta be more original."

Lincoln was once again surprised by another feat of good reflexes. He warily walked away from his house and went onward to his school.

As he walked, he didn't know that Lisa was observing him secretly. She didn't perceive Lincoln's quick reflexes as just random, in fact, by all counts he should have been hit by the ball and got wet by the water. In the kitchen, as soon as Lynn kicked the ball, Lincoln got the sudden impression that he should move and just as he touched the doorknob he jumped out immediately. Tapping her chin in thought, she walked up to her brother's room and peeped inside to see the broken remains of his alarm clock.

"Interesting." she mused.

"Lisa!" she heard her mother call. "It's time for school!"

"On my way mother." the prodigy replied, and was inwardly thinking of what this could entail.
