Lincoln was currently in the basement with Lisa, although "together" was a word that fell short since he was simply sitting nearby holding Lulu while the genius put everything together by herself. Lincoln couldn't believe how A single woman could be so quick to put together technological devices, then he remembered the Lisa of his world, always inventing things and using him as a guinea pig; I hope the government realizes that he is insane and they revoke his title.
Lincoln: who is a princess? Who is a princess? Yes, you are... You are
Lincoln said that to Lulu while playing with her little hands holding her, while he let her sit on his lap or rather on his legs, little Lulu laughed while she continued carrying her pacifier; while Lincoln with a smile let go of her hand only to then poke her stomach with her index finger while she told him that she was a princess, she liked babies more than her other teenage children; They are easier to deal with and don't insult you or come with traumas included, if only they were all little babies.
Lisa: That's what you're wrong Lincoln, Lulu is not a princess, she is a lethal weapon of nuclear range; With night and infrared vision, she can see even further than normal, bend her bones as if she were an invertebrate, lift 20 times her weight, spit acid, walk on walls...

Lincoln stared at Lisa as he watched her stop building the portal only to then begin to list the things her daughter could do, he was between a mad scientist and a mother who treasured her daughter, it was a scene that seriously gave something. fear; So, stopping seeing and hearing Lisa, he would look at her little baby. He couldn't understand why everyone was afraid of such a beautiful little thing. She was just a very tender baby; While thinking that Lulu would look up to see his eyes blinking without his eyelashes, like reptiles, birds and sharks, nictitating membranes closed from one side to the other like a gate only to then open again showing how the pupils Lulu's were like those of a snake
Lincoln: ... —Lincoln froze watching that until he just ended up smiling nervously, taking Lulu under the armpits and then lifting her into the air, making Lulu laugh tenderly at being lifted into the air. ..Who just gave dad a scare? Who just gave dad a scare? If it was you, it was you

Lincoln was laughing with Lulu while Lisa continued talking in the distance. This would continue for a few seconds until the entrance door to the basement opened, letting in a secondary light from the entrance; While Rochelle went down the stairs, followed by Lacy, they were fighting to see who would get to the basement first to give the news to her father, but when they arrived, for fear of falling down the stairs, they went down at a slow and careful pace.
Rochelle: Dad, they called you from the hospital... They said that a friend of yours was injured, apparently she just wants to talk to you - Rochelle said that, stopping at the foot of the stairs looking at her father with Lulu, having a little desire to be smaller so her father can lift her into the air like Lulu–
Lacy: is he your lover? —Lacy asked that fearfully and sadly, if she were her father's lover; then it would mean that everything could end –
At Lacy's words; Lincoln stood frozen holding little Lulu who didn't understand anything, Lisa interrupted the count of things her beautiful daughter could do and Rochelle was so surprised that she seemed to be in a state of shock, she hadn't thought that maybe she was a lover; If she had known she would have told the doctor to put her to sleep like a damn bitch.

Then, on the other hand, you could hear a lot of people moving through the kitchen towards the basement entrance that was next to the back entrance, only to then go down the stairs; It was Lynn, Lori and Leni, Ronnie Anne was shopping so she had missed the mention of the forbidden word.
Lynn: Did someone say "lover"?! —Lynn looked completely angry and furious, looking at Lincoln as if he had already committed a great crime—
Lori: I thought you were different! —Lori on the other hand was angry and sad, as if he was disappointed in Lincoln—
Lisa: Tell me her name and ID number —Lisa said that with a robotic voice while she typed some things into her computer, it was a list of people in the country; while the CIA logo stood out in one corner–
1
Leni: I thought only we would be your lovers! —Leni, instead of getting angry, yelled at him like a child that she felt that her father lied to her, only that she felt that her lover had lied to her about the number of lovers she was going to have—
3
Lincoln didn't know what to say since every time he spoke one of the 3 women said something to him, he knew that if this continued like this he would end up with a couple more hits and problems, so after Leni yelled at him he simply covered her ears. to the little Lulu that he left sitting on his lap, yelling at everyone to finally let her speak
Lincoln: He's not my lover! ... —When Lincoln shouted that to them, they all froze for a few seconds before returning to normal, making Lincoln sigh while he moved his hands away from Lulu's ears — ...It's my partner Pears; He said his last name was Williams, right?
Rochelle: yes... —She said that with a still doubtful voice, she could believe that he was her partner; but her previous father had a history of lying–...So he's not your lover?
Lincoln: God, no... That idiot already fell in love with someone and besides; When I look at him I keep remembering the fat man who farted and left me locked in the room where I threw it at him.
Lincoln said that, appearing annoyed, there was a season of pranks and the farts were the beginning, but then they moved on to scares, shooting each other with Paintball bullets or ruining something important about the other.
Lincoln, seeing that everyone seemed to be better, although they were still somewhat jealous or doubtful, simply stood up, holding Lulu in his arms.
Lincoln: look, if you want, a couple of you can accompany me... You can meet Pears and see that there is nothing between us
Upon receiving that option from Lincoln, they all felt more relieved and secure, since they could send a couple of them to see that Lincoln was not lying to them; The Lincoln of his world made them feel bad for doubting him, only to later make them feel like bad girlfriends for doubting their boyfriend, leaving as if nothing had happened; although later they discovered that he was seriously going to see others.
Royal Wood Hospital.
Doctor: Mrs. Williams, I must admit that you are very lucky... Although in your x-ray we are seeing twelve sprains, two minor fractures and one strain... You did not suffer any major injuries, you are very lucky
In a hospitalization room, a woman with brown hair was lying on the right bed. She was the only patient in that room because another patient who needed hospitalization had not yet arrived. The woman's left foot was on top of a hammock that was hanging. from the ceiling for his recovery from the sprain, the woman just stood still while she let him talk and looked at him with a tired expression, she seriously couldn't believe it ended like this.
Abel: Haha, lucky me, my car ended up in a mess and the trucker is sure to sue me.
Abel laughed a little as he remembered everything, he was going to work normally; except that this time she had to drive and go alone since her husband had stayed at work the night before due to a problem, her children did not want to go to school; Although everyone fell asleep, even her, that was the reason why she was going so fast, otherwise she would be late for work and her partners could get angry. At first, when she opened her eyes, she didn't know what happened; But over time she remembered, as she reached an intersection she was going to brake for the red light but his body had frozen and a severe headache invaded her skull, her vision became blurry and bright.
The result of this was that she continued passing at full red light with vehicles passing at high speed, her car ran in front of a cargo truck that took her completely; As the doctor said it was lucky that she didn't end up dead or with bigger injuries, almost as if she was blessed by good luck.
Doctor: a lawsuit is nothing compared to life, just think positively, you were in a car accident and you came out alive - The man with black hair and dark skin told him that with an animated smile, patients very rarely arrived after a accident of that magnitude with such minor injuries–
Abel: I guess you're right about that... you can tell me what happened —Abel asked him that while moving back a little, resting his back on the pillow and his elbows on the bed, looking at the doctor with a serious expression; He knew what had happened but he still had to know what the experts said –
Doctor: He didn't have a heart attack nor did he suffer from any stroke, which I don't know why he asked for the diagnosis for that with his age, but no, it wasn't a stroke —The doctor explained that to him while he was looking at the report of the diagnoses, it didn't seem like Is there an explanation for what she described or something else that would cause him to freeze with a sudden increase of light in his eyes -
Abel: And what do you think it was? —Slowly he was becoming afraid of the doctor's response, because if he said what he thought he would say; Lincoln's words were true–
Doctor: well... Your brain x-ray, the one we did for stroke, is strange... —The doctor told him that while he took out an x-ray from among the report papers, only to then approach the window arranging it so that it could be seen. well the shape of his brain–... It shines more than normal, I mean it is a beautiful brain, but his brain produces more biophotons than most... We are talking about double, as if it had two x-rays glued one on top of the other, I even doubted that this was real
The doctor said that, laughing a little because he was nervous about what he was seeing, while Abel, like Lincoln, knew what it was; His brain carried more ions than any other due to the mental fusion, he didn't really know how that worked or how it was possible for his brain energy to fuse with Abel Williams's, yet now he was in a hospital bed looking at an x-ray so that it was something real and feasible
Abel: Do you think this caused me to freeze? —Abel asked him that with fear, hoping that his answer would be No and that Lincoln would be wrong, even if sometimes he thought that he was right, he wanted to believe that he could have more time—
Doctor: Well, it would be more of a hypothesis than something certain... But look at this point... —The doctor pointed out a part of his brain that showed less brightness than the other parts, almost as if he were at rest or lethargy. .. You see how its brightness is less, what I believe or think is that perhaps an increase in brightness; I mean, the transport of ions through your brain caused a cut or a small stroke without side effects, I mean...
Abel: ...My brain received more energy than it could handle and a light bulb exploded —Abel said that, interrupting the doctor while he settled better in the bed, lying on his back, resting his neck and the back of his head on the bed. pillow-
Doctor: Yes, something like that... But don't worry, it seems that your brain will soon regain its brilliance.
The doctor said that, ignoring the fact that it was strange, he was not a Neurologist so he did not know much about brains since it was not his area, after saying that he began to save everything in the report, leaving it hanging later at the foot of the bed, when he saw Abel seemed to want to rest, he simply said goodbye and started walking towards the exit, ending up leaving the room.
Meanwhile, walking through the hospital corridors towards Abel's room, 3 people were following a nurse who was leading them in silence; At first she wanted to talk to the white-haired man because he seemed familiar to her from her days in high school, but then when she saw how the brunette teenager was looking at him and how the man's partner seemed very toxic, she simply decided to stay silent while he guided them.
Lincoln: Could you stop looking at me like that —Lincoln said this, annoying Luna because she kept looking at him as if he were a piece of shit or someone who had committed a terrible crime on purpose, his look of distrust or repudiation was clear as water—
Moon: how? I'm just looking at you, don't worry, just go and talk to the nurse... It's obvious that you're looking at his butt.
When Luna said that, Lincoln was upset by the nurse's blushing as she quickly placed her hands behind her back, covering her butt, looking back at Lincoln with an expression of disgust at how trashy Lincoln was, making the Albino just wince. feel even more upset with Luna for making a stranger think she's trash
Lincoln: I wasn't looking at her butt and I didn't even pay attention to it, she doesn't attract me in the slightest - After saying those words Lincoln would feel a pang from the nurse's new look, he seriously didn't understand women; If you look at them because they are attractive, you are a pervert and if you admit that you don't find them attractive, you are a trash who doesn't appreciate a good woman–
7
Rochelle: Auntie, stop bothering Dad... He's not one of those people so don't slander him.
Rochelle said that to Luna while she felt calmer after listening to how her father admitted that he was not sexually attracted to the nurse. It was clear that her father was not like the Lincoln of this world who is after any ass that comes his way; He was a good man who loved his daughters and then loved his mothers, that was the list, them first then his mothers later.
Luna: he is good at pretending, but when he shows himself as such he is... I will be there to find out and show everyone who you are —Luna spoke like a journalist or a person who was obsessed with proving that a person was bad—
Lincoln: Well, you'll have a lot to wait, because I'm not an idiot like your husband... Also, you should stop thinking about him, it seems like an obsession.
Lincoln told her that in a sharp way, knowing that it was going to hurt her when someone told her that she still loved Lincoln, but even if he said it in an insulting or mocking way, you could tell a little that Luna was still affected by what her Lincoln did to her. ; She never spent a single second without talking or thinking about Lincoln, even if she did so in a hateful way, it was clear that Lincoln was the first thing on her mind.
Nurse: It's here, you can come in.
The nurse would interrupt Luna's possible insults, since when she heard what Lincoln said, her expression became completely angry because of the anger she had. Lincoln thanked the nurse for helping him prevent Luna from making a scene in a hospital, but upon looking into the nurse's eyes he would feel the look of disgust on her part, causing him not to thank her and just enter the room, being followed by Luna and then Rochelle would stop in front of the door looking at the nurse in silence.
Rochelle: ...You're ugly.
1
Rochelle would tell him that with a superior smile before entering the room, closing the door behind her, still looking superiorly at the nurse as she closed the door.
Upon entering the room you could see how the window was open to let the wind in, one of the stretchers was empty while in the other there was a woman with brown hair resting her back on a pillow while she lay sitting on the stretcher with her left hand on the control, changing the TV channels without much encouragement
Lincoln: I see you're upset, you only change the channel when you're upset... It's a very annoying habit.
Lincoln laughed a little at his female-looking friend, who upon hearing his words stopped his thumb from pressing the channel change button, while the albino approached the television hanging on the wall only to then turn it off by pressing the button. button on the television, but after a few seconds the television would turn on again through the power button on the control
Lincoln: whatever you want —Lincoln said that, looking a little annoyed at Abel/Pears for his childish attitude, it was clear that he was upset because something was happening that he couldn't stand—
Abel: You were right, are you happy?
Abel told him that with an annoyed tone while he turned a little to leave the control on the nightstand, then returned to his previous position he would look directly at Lincoln, looking out of the corner of his eye just a little at Luna and Rochelle.
Abel: This must be Luna and the girl is...? ... —Abel would observe Luna for a few seconds only to then point out Rochelle, he didn't know her from her world so he didn't know who that brunette teenager was—
Lincoln: this is Rochelle, my daughter —Lincoln introduced Rochelle, pointing to her with his right hand, before approaching the chairs in the corner, pulling out one for Rochelle, then another for him and nothing more—
Luna would be waiting for Lincoln to also give her a chair, but seeing that he only gave it to Rochelle, she would look very angry with him for what he did; She only then passed behind Lincoln giving him a small blow on the forehead with her left hand, then she would take one of the chairs and place it next to Lincoln's, sitting still with an annoyed expression.
Rochelle: I'm Rochelle, it's a pleasure to meet you... —Rochelle said that with a friendly and respectable tone, hiding that she came with Lincoln to see that Abel wasn't a bitch who was trying to take away her father—... I hope you get better
Abel: Thank you little one, I hope your father is not causing you problems... Where we come from he always spent his time looking for problems, he never tired of ordering us to do things... Even though many people lose their lives because of those same projects.
Abel at first spoke to Rochelle in a friendly, affectionate tone, as he would with his daughters; but then remembering how many times after finishing one project they were thrown into another, she moved her gaze from him to Lincoln, looking at him with a sharp and somewhat annoyed expression, making Lincoln raise his hands.
Lincoln: oh yeah; Excuse me for being a slaver, but everyone knew what they were getting into when they signed the contracts... Besides, the benefits were greater than what one of you could ask for or get - Lincoln also responded to her sharp words, slowly beginning to lower his hands also looking at him defiantly; But before his discussion began, Luna interrupted them.
Luna had hit Lincoln on the back of the head, making Rochelle look at him somewhat annoyed by such an unnecessary action while Lincoln, after the blow that Luna gave him that pushed his head down, raised his face to look at her. annoying aside, at that time Lincoln was wondering if hitting a lesbian counted as female aggression; Maybe he could claim that he hit a person who identified as a man.

Luna: let's avoid remembering your beautiful friendship, if you are friends - Luna said that in a grumpy and annoying way, while she crossed her arms, placing her left leg over her right knee -
Abel: I see that your Sister is the same in both worlds —Abel had been looking at Luna in surprise, there were some changes like Luna was an addict with big problems, while this Luna was normal but very grumpy apparently; The only thing they agree on is that they both hate Lincoln for different reasons—
Lincoln: yes, but in the previous one at least I had an advantage —Lincoln settled into his seat, leaning on the back of the chair, smiling a little when thinking about that advantage—
Abel: which one? —I never heard of an advantage, so Abel looked at him somewhat confused by Lincoln's words—
Lincoln: I never saw her because she hated me —Lincoln said that while moving his hands as if he were playing a drum after telling a joke—
After that bad joke Lincoln would look up smiling to see if anyone was laughing, but the expressions he found were that Abel and Rochelle looked at him without laughing as if he were an idiot, while Luna looked at him, annoyed as always, raising her left hand. to give him the middle finger, they were a difficult audience apparently
Lincoln: It's a good joke, boring people... —He would say that with an offended tone because they don't laugh, before lowering his hands, crossing his arms; only for after the offense he felt to move from him to Abel—...Well, I guess you already understand why we should leave.
Lincoln's words made Abel get even more serious, while Luna just didn't give it any importance because she didn't care about that Lincoln or any Lincoln, but on the other hand Rochelle focused on their conversation while clenching her fists on her hands. legs
Abel: It was just a temporary paralysis and a slight headache, if I hadn't been in a car it wouldn't be a problem - Abel said that denying that Lincoln was right, even if he was right he would cover his eyes before accepting that he should leave this world-
Lincoln: These are the first things that happen, now it's just that, but soon it will become a big headache and your paralysis will be worse, Pears this will not get better, this will be worse —Lincoln told him things clearly, which had not been getting better; It would only start to get worse and the more stress you have, the faster everything would happen–
Abel: I can talk to doctors, maybe they will find a way to make the paralysis go away and stop what is happening.
Lincoln: The doctors don't know who we are, the only thing you'll do is waste your time.
Abel: you don't know that, the only thing you want is to go back to your rich Playboy life.
Lincoln: If you stay you're going to kill the real Abel!
Abel: And if I come back I'm going to die alone!
Lincoln: Better to die alone than commit suicide with an innocent woman! We are parasites Abel, we must return to our lives!
Abel: You don't know what my life was like!
What started as a serious but calm conversation began to escalate to the point of being pure shouts on the part of both of them, Lincoln even stood up while shouting at Abel to understand that they should return; but then upon hearing Abel's desperate cry with some tears in his eyes, he was surprised making him stay silent.
Abel: ...You... You don't know... I was alone, Lincoln... It was lonely, sad and pathetic... My life wasn't parties and glamor like yours... I just worked all day at the laboratory and at night he slept in the laboratory - Abel began to speak while resisting with all his might not to cry, all his life he was a pathetic weirdo who loved science because he was afraid of socializing and people -
Lincoln: ...But you... You loved your job...
Abel: ... I loved him ... I loved him because I felt safe, I loved him because it was the only thing I felt and it filled me with a feeling of joy to see a finished project ... —Abel began to speak while he She cleaned her eyes with her hands, although her left arm hurt a little because of the syringe that went through a vein–... But... Now it fills me with joy to see my little Leta say "Mommy 2" even though she shouldn't have said to me Thus, it fills me with pride to see Leyla play in the high school band, be the president of the school council and that she is always improving to fulfill her goal of being president... It makes me happy to challenge Levi for making a joke and congratulate him for getting a good grade, although at his age I was a brainiac...
Abel said that with a small smile of maternal joy, they were not her children and she had known them for a few months, but she already knew everything about them and she would give her entire life for them to be well, she loved her husband but with those 3 children he It was something relevant, sometimes she even told him, when she remembered her husband covering his eyes with his arm, she continued speaking.
Abel: ...And I love a man... Even if that makes me strange, I love hearing the words "I love you" from his lips or I would even love him if he said "do you want sugar with your coffee?" haha... That's how crazy I am
Abel moved that arm up to lift his hair back, looking at Lincoln, Luna and Rochelle with a happy smile while his eyes were red from almost crying; It was a strange situation, but no one could judge being a guy who slept with his sister, a lesbian who had a slight obsession with her little brother, and a girl who walked miles to see a man, only to end up deciding that That man was his real father... That room was full of strange people.
Lincoln: ...—He would remain silent for a few seconds, letting Abel digest everything and calm down, only to then look at him swallowing everything sentimental—...I understand you...
Abel upon hearing his words would look at him sharply, it seemed that Pears did not believe that Lincoln understood what he was feeling right now.
Lincoln: ...No, I really understand you... What I have here I don't have where we come from, for God's sake, I fell in love with my sister and I feel that with her I could be truly happy, I gained a family with many children who They love me just like I love them... For the first time in years I feel like I can be happy
Lincoln sat down again while ignoring how Rochelle was looking at him. The brunette wanted to tell him to leave everything behind and that with Lisa's help they would find a way for him to stay, but she had already done it without her consent. Lisa's response was that it was impossible to keep whatever Lincoln became inside a body, it was as if the mere possession of the body began to kill the host.
On the other hand, Luna looked at Lincoln having some feelings of pity and compassion for that Lincoln, it really seemed like he loved Lynn just like the children; but her stone heart made it difficult for her to accept that idea.
Lincoln: even so... We have to leave, so that the true owners of these bodies can fix their lives and live them, if we stay we die, we kill these bodies and leave two families broken... —Lincoln told him that with a feeling of sadness, it hurt him to have to leave but he knew it was the right thing to do; Even if the Lincoln of this world was an idiot who rejected the best he could have– ...Are you going to come with me? Or will you destroy a family?
Abel, faced with Lincoln's words, could only resign himself to accepting, imagining what the life of his 3 little angels would be like when they lost their mother; It was something that he didn't want to happen and wouldn't wish on anyone, so swallowing all the ideas of being able to stay here to be happy, he responded
Abel: At least give me some time to say goodbye to my children and my... Husband - Abel asked him this while watching Lincoln stand up, he hoped he would accept the request -
Lincoln: I'll give you some time, but we have to leave soon... I'll let you know when the machine is ready.
Rochelle and Luna would also stand up, Lincoln would approach Abel extending his left hand to shake Abel's left, but she would only look at him for a minute before raising her left hand to shake it, after that Lincoln's family would leave. from the patient room, only for Abel's family to arrive after a few minutes; Her husband looked disheveled from leaving work quickly, while her children were very worried.
Abel: Hello my loves, I'm sorry Layla for missing your recital.
Layla: Don't worry mom
Layla, almost crying, wiped away her tears while holding the case of her violin with her arms, while she watched how her little sister Leta and her younger brother Levi jumped on her mother, only to be separated from her by their father.
Ethan: Well children, stop hugging your mother tightly... You're going to break her haha —Ethan laughed a little as he approached his children, taking them away from their mother since it was obvious that the hugs hurt her—
After separating the children from Abel, Ethan would slowly approach his wife giving her a small kiss on the lips; only to then look into her eyes smiling mutually, not knowing that that afternoon he would find out something surprising.
