Ride with the Reaper
Lincoln's stalked down the street, the merc's mind filed with a red mist of anger. Although finding out that he was willing to take care of Luan did quell his rage a bit, learning that he dumped Luan as soon as he found out about the miscarriage made Lincoln snap.
He was out the door before anyone could stop him. luckily, he'd left his M1911 behind. At least he wouldn't be tempted to shoot anyone. The same couldn't be said for the brass knuckles that Lincoln kept on his person most of the time.
Lincoln came to a row of nice looking houses, the house he came to be at was the once his victim resided in. He crossed the slightly unkempt front lawn, furiously bashing on the door with a gloved hand.
"Chandler, get your ass out here" The merc yelled, slipping his hand out of his gloves to reveal brass knuckles. The door opened to reveal Chandler, looking as if he'd just woken up.
"Larry, Is that you? Dude, where you been?" Chandler asked, completely oblivious about the beating he was about to receive.
The first punch had caught the former bully off guard, his gut expelling the air in his lungs. He staggered, trying to block the next punch with no success. Lincoln grabbed Chandler, kicking him onto the front lawn.
"You are fucking asshole, of all the things you've done" Lincoln said between punches "Bully me and my friends, pay goons to chase me, even humiliate me. All that I can tolerate but getting my sister pregnant"
Lincoln's tirade was interrupted by a strike to the jaw from Chandler, who'd gotten back to his feet during Lincoln's rant. The merc ducks away from his opponent's wild swing, punching him in the solar plexus once again. He grabs the winded boys arm, bringing his knee down on it. The arm cracked under the force, breaking it
"And worst off, not even being there for her when she lost the baby" Lincoln said, eliciting a genuinely shocked reaction from Chandler
"She actually lost the baby, I though she said that because she didn't want me around. Oh god, I can't believe she lost him. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry…" Chandler broke down into a sob, pulling on the Merc's heart strings
"Lincoln!" He heard Luan voice call out from the street
Luan rushed over to Chandler, checking him over for any serious injuries. Upon deeming to not have any fatal injuries, she turned to slap her brother across the face. She gave him a very sour look, crossing her arms
"I'm sorry Luan, I may…have overreacted. I promise I wasn't going to hurt him to badly, I only broke his arm cus he swung back. I'm sorry" Lincoln said, helping the injured Chandler to his feet.
"I'm sorry to Luan, I never meant to abandon you. I didn't think you want me around after everything" Chandler said before turning to Lincoln "No hard feeling though, I'd have done the same thing If it were my sister"
Lincoln opened his mouth to speak, only to be interrupted by his phone going off. The merc pulls his phone from his pocket, glancing at the number before answering
"Hey, Luna. Don't worry, I didn't kill him. You won't need to bail me out of jail" Lincoln said with a chuckle, only silence meeting him on the other end "Luna?"
"Linc, Mom's in the hospital. They think she had a stroke or something coming down the stairs, she's in bad shape dude, you gotta get to the hospital" Luna said seriously
"I'm on my way" Lincoln said sternly
"What's going on Lincoln?" Luan asked with concern
"Mom's in the hospital, they think she stroked out on the stairs. We gotta go" Lincoln responded before pulling out his phone and calling Victor
"Hey Vic, You I need pick up ASAP. My mom's in the hospital"
"I'll see you in 3" Vic responded, hanging up to the sound of tires squealing
True to his word, a black SUV came squealing down the street. It came to a screeching stop, the passenger side door opened to reveal Victor. Lincoln nodded to his mentor before turning to his sister
"Hop in…Chandler you are coming?" Lincoln asked the injuries teen
"Ye…Yeah" He replied, climbing into the back seat.
The drive to the hospital was quiet, a mournful tension in the air. Luan clung to her brother, desperately trying to keep a grip on the sudden shock to her system. Lincoln hums to his older sibling, gently stroking her hair.
He's always hated seeing his sisters upset in any capacity, even before his disappearing act. Lincoln felt bad that he had victor pay the cops to stop looking for him, just so he could disappear. Some brother he was.
"Victor, do you think I did the right thing all those years ago. You know disappearing instead of going back to my family" Lincoln asks his mentor in Russian, not wanting chandler to get in on their conversation.
"That's up to you to figure out Kid, I'm just guiding you remember" Victor responds, glancing at his student.
"I have seen what my disappearing has done to my family, now I feel like shit" Lincoln mutters, glaring at the hospital as they pull into the parking lot.
Lincoln can't help but think that this is going to be a shitty day for him and his family.

FiggyPuds1225: I'll Certainly keep your suggestions in mind. If I do use them, I'll make sure to credit you for giving me the idea.
Darth Nihiilus: Question answered
Dread55: Wrong on both accounts, don't worry. I'm sure not a lot of people would have guessed the father. As for the police question, they were paid off to stop looking and the merc's would pay their taxes. Sans Lincoln of course.
People telling me to stop Lynn Bashing: Chill, I have a twist coming
