Stan "The Man" Lee.

1922-2018.

Marvel will never be the same without. We'll missed you. Nuff said.

After school, Lincoln, Clyde, Rusty, Liam, Zach, and Girl Jordan are walking home.

"So, Lincoln, any plans when you get home?" Rusty asked him.

"Actually, I have plans to visit a friend." Lincoln answered.

"A friend?" Zach concerned.

"Who is he or her?" Girl Jordan asks Lincoln.

"It's a she, and I can't tell you that information. But she's a good person who wants to hang out with me that's all." Lincoln lied.

"You should get there right before six, bro." Clyde said.

"I know, Clyde. I know." Lincoln said already know.

"Don't want to missed your "girlfriend". Rusty snickered.

Liam, Zach, and Girl Jordan snickered as well.

Lincoln rolled his eyes of annoyance.

It is around 6:00 P.M., Ruby is sitting on her bed waiting for Ace Savvy. A knock on the door and the opening it revealing to Ace Savvy.

"Ace!" Ruby rush to him to give him a hug. "You came back."

"Of course I come back. I would never break a promise." Ace said hugging her back.

Ruby stops hugging him and rush back to her bed. "Can we go back back to where we left off? I wonder what"

Ace sat on her bed. "Sure, Ruby. Now, where was I-Oh, yes! After I found a photo frame of my family in the cave, I was shock and surprised that my parents are crime fighters..."

*FLASHBACK*

Lincoln is sitting as he stay silent after looking at a family picture of his parents who reveal to be Ace Savvy and Lady Ace. What doesn't make sense is how did his parents get killed by a punk with a gun? Is it because they don't want to expose their identifies in front of me, then why did you tell me to go to the van if you're going to fight.

Lincoln sighed until something pops up inside his head. "Wait. Does Pop-pop know about this? Does he knows that his daughter is Lady Ace? I must speak with him!" He rush back to the elevator.

The Loud sisters are still watching t.v.

Lynn got up from the couch. "Okay, that's it. Lincoln has been in the basement far to long. I'm going to go check up on him.

Leni too got of the couch as feels worrying about. "Me too."

Lincoln rush out of the basement and head to the front door, but Leni stop him by hugging.

"Linky, thank goodness you're okay. We thought you're doing something down there."

Lincoln gently push her off. "I'm fine, Leni. I'm going over to Pop-pop right now." Lincoln said opening the door.

"Wait why?" Lori asks him.

"It's important. I'll back soon." Lincoln said leaving slamming the door behind him.

"Wasn't bro down in the dumps?" Luna confusing asks them.

"Yeah, but whatever he was doing in the basement must have snap out of him." Lori said.

At the retirement home, Pop-pop is on his chair looking sad as he looking at his old photo of him, his wife, and his daughter Rita. He thought to himself like "How could this happen after everything we've been through", "Who could have done this?"His thought's were interrupt when he hears a knock on his door which got him mad.

"Sue, now it's not the time for you-

Lincoln opens the door and enter his room. "Hey, Pop-pop.

Pop-pop is surprised that it's his grandson. "Kiddo, it's you. Um...How are you guys holding up?

"We're holding up just fine, Pop-pop." Lincoln got serious. "Look, I'm sorry but not here to hang out; just want some answers."

"Answers? Like what?"

Lincoln sighed. "I just discovered a cave beneath our house. Not just a cave, a Ace Cave."

This got pop-pop eyes widen.

"And I found the actual Ace Savvy and Lady Ace costumes that belongs to my parents. Since Rita is your daughter, did you train them, are you a superhero too?"

Pop pop closed his eyes to sigh and then open his eyes back to look at his grandson. "Yes, kiddo, to answer your question. I did train them because...I'm the First Ace Savvy.

Lincoln gasped. "The Golden Age Ace Savvy is you?!"

"Yes, but the comics you've read is not what I look like. Censorship back then-but anyway let's get back to topic. Years ago after me and the original Full House were disbanded, I retire and converted the Fortress of Solitude into a museum. Try to live a normal life after come back from the war, fell in love with a woman I love which result marriage and have a beautiful daughter name Rita. Then, tragic start; my wife was murder by Poker Face's son in revenge after what happen to his father. IT devastate me and my daughter. He destroy the evidence so I can't prove it. When Rita reach ten, she and her friend where in the basement messing around until they discover an elevator on the wall when her friend through a baseball on to it."

Lincoln gasped again. "That's the same way how I discovered it, Pop-pop!"

"Really? Well, her friend was creep out and doesn't want to know so she left while Rita decided to explore even more discovering the Ace Cave, a secondary headquarter of The Full House. I found out about this when I pick up a silent alarm on my phone and explain my daughter who I was and told her it was destiny for you to discover the cave." Pop-pop explained.

"Destiny?" Lincoln asks.

"Yes. Because this happens to me when I was your age after me and my parents moved. It's a strange pattern." Pop-pop smiled. "Rita connives me that Poker Face is out there getting away the crimes he committed which I understand but I can't let her go. Too dangerous."

"And she doesn't take no for answer, right?"

"That's right." Pop-Pop said nodding. "She create her own costume This force me to come out of retirement, but she did prove to herself to me. Unfortunately, we fail to stop him but we did a good protecting Royal Woods. So I train her to be better and when training is compete we become "The Dynamic Duos of Ace Savvy and Lady Ace".

"Woah." Lincoln said.

"And you probably know how your parents meet, right?"

Lincoln nod.

"Well, he doesn't know she's Lady Ace until their third date. Lynn wants be at her side fighting until then so beg me to train which I did since he love my daughter so much, and will do anything to help her. After hard work, he has earn to become the next Ace Savvy as I finally retire. And so the love birds Ace Savvy and Lady Ace became the next protector of Royal Woods. Until two members join with them but I never knew them that much." Pop-pop said finishing his story.

Lincoln smiled. "All be. Thank you, Pop-poo." Lincoln is getting ready to leave.

"Wait, kiddo, I hope you're not doing what I think your doing."

"Yes, Pop-Pop. If mom doesn't take no when a killer took grandma's life, then neither will I." Lincoln said.

"But you're going to get yourself killed." Pop-pop said

"Lynn taught me karate. I'll be fine."

"Kiddo, wait!"

Lincoln left his room.

Pop-pop is now more worrying and don't think he can handle another lost in the family, he prayed to hope nothing terrible will happen to him.

Later that night at the Loud house, everyone in the house are fast asleep except for Lincoln who looking through his closet to find an old costume he made (Sleuth or Consequences) and quickly puts it on.

"All I need is a mask."

Lincoln found his old swimming goggles and puts them on.

"It'll have to do for now." Lincoln tiptoes out of his room. He steps on Cliff's tail again. Cliff meows loudly in pain until Lincoln pets him to sleep. He goes out the house and stop near the sidewalks. Lincoln sighed. "I'm coming for you." He rush off in a full sprint.

The thief ran out of the store while the store clerk tries to goes after him. " Hey, stop! Somebody stop that guy!" The Store Clerk yelled. The thief laugh but then soon got trip by Lincoln as he is hiding in the alley.

Lincoln kick him in the face to knock him out, and grab the thief by the collar to check the tattoo on his face, but nope. No tattoo. He grab the stolen money that the thief had taken and return it to the stork clerk.

"Wow. Thanks, kid. You not only you stop the thief, but save me job."

"Your welcome, citizen. I must get going." Lincoln said as she rush off.

"For hours, I've search through dark alley to fight off thugs who are trying to rob people or committed theft while trying to find the man who murdered my parents. I'm very lucky to win these fight. Of course this got the attention over the media as people talking about be me in the next morning even my sisters heard about this." Ace narrated.

At the start of school, Lincoln is walking down the hall while listening to everyone talking about a fanboy dressing as Ace Savvy beating up thugs and saving a bunch of folks.

Chandler scoffs "I don't know if that is kid is stupid or have a death wish. The next group he'll faced will be his last."

"You wanna bet?" Chandler's friend asks.

"Hell yeah. $20." Chandler grin.

"You're on."

Lincoln groan of annoyance as he kept walking until his friends call him.

"Hey, Lincoln, did you hear?"

"No, Clyde. What is it?" Lincoln asks him.

"A kid dress as Ace Savvy beat up some punks all over part of Royal Woods." Clyde answered.

"I got to say that kid is one tough son of a gun." Liam smiled.

"Yeah, he's got balls. Like the kid as Kickass." Rusty said.

"And he's pretty cute too." Girl Jordan said.

"I still wonder what happen to the other Ace Savvy and Lady Ace. They disappear all the sudden just for that kid to jump in." Zach said.

Rusty turn to Zach. "They're probably injured themselves in a line of duty."

Lincoln looks away with a sad tone. "Yeah. Injured themselves. I'm going heading to the bathroom." Lincoln said as he walks down.

"Alright, dude, but hurry back class will start in a few minutes." Rusty said.

In the boy's restroom, Lincoln is watching his hands after finish his business. "Nothing. Still no sign of him. Did he skip town? He better not be." He lift up his shirt sleeve to stare a bruise on his arm. 'I got to be more careful next time and survive a next fight." Lincoln said to himself as he roll down his sleeve. "I will not stop until I find him." Lincoln said to himself leaving the bathroom.

At the Police Station...

"So let me get me straight, Detective Bojack. A ten year old kid dress as Ace Savvy took out some thief's and thugs without breaking a sweat?"

"That's pretty much it, Commissioner Grouse."

Commissioner Grouse sighed. "Just Perfect. When Ace Savvy and Lady Ace disappeared, some kid dress as Ace Savvy so he could be a hero." Commissioner Grouse got up from his seat. "I don't care if he's doing good; he's going to get himself killed. You see him, arrested him and bring him."

Detective Bojack said. "Alright, sure." He leaves his office.

Commissioner Grouse sat back down. "Several months and still no call for them. I'm starting to believe that their dead."

Later that night at the loud house, Lincoln is in his room waiting for his sisters to go to bed. He hears the door closing from each of their room. "Good. Now to get-

"Lincoln."

Lincoln gasped and quickly turn. "Lucy?! How did you-you know what forget it."

"I just want to see if your alright. You've change recently; grumpy every morning, getting unexplained bruises, and spend less time with us." Lucy said feeling worried

"Oh, uh, don't worry, Lucy. I'm still the same brother you love. Just going through stuff right now that's all." Lincoln nervously smiled as he lied.

"What stuff?" Lucy questioned.

"Stuff, stuff." Lincoln lied. He then hold both of her shoulders as she blushed. "But I promised to you, I'm still the same person."

"Okay." Lucy said.

Lucy is about to leave but Lincoln call her name.

"Lucy, um, is there a way you can talk to mom and dad from behind the grave?" Lincoln asks her.

Lucy looks down. "I'm sorry, Lincoln. I've been trying to contact them, but their not available. But I won't stop trying."

Lincoln smiled. "Thanks, Lucy."

Lucy blushes as she smile. "Your welcome." Lucy leaves his room.

Lincoln watch Lucy walks into her room and close the door behind her. "Whew." Lincoln grab his costume from under his bed.

Down in a another alley, a woman is about to be attack by two men.

"No please! Leave me alone!" Woman cried.

"No, please! Leave me alone!" First man mocking her as he laughed.

"Will leave you alone, if you give some something." Second Man grin as he looking at her body.

"HELP!" She screamed.

"Leave the woman alone!"

All three of them turn to see Lincoln in his costume.

"Beat it, kid. This is grown up stuff." First Man said.

"I said leave her alone!" Lincoln grab an empty soda can and throws it at the first man.

"Oh, you're so dead." Man said pull out a pocket knife.

Lincoln is getting ready to fight. The man charged for to make his first attack, but Lincoln grab his arm and flip him. Lincoln check his face for tattoo but still no tattoo. "Damn it." Lincoln said to himself.

"Hey, that was my bro that you flip him!" Second Man took pull out his pocket knife and walk towards him while the woman make a run for it.

Lincoln is in position to fight. The first man recovers and join in with his bro as they surrounded him. The fight soon interrupt them when they hear a police car approaching which got them spooked. Fearing that they'll go to jail, they quickly run away. "Hey!" Lincoln shouted.

Detective Bojack got out of his car and finally meet "Ace Savvy". "Ah, so you're the kid that's been causing a lot of troubling. Come on. We're going downtown."

"I can't, sir. Not now. The man with a blue flaming baseball tattoo on his face who've killed-uh, the boy's parents at the parking lot near the theater is still at large, and I'm going to find him." Lincoln tells him.

"And what. Kill him?"

"No, I'm going to find him and bring him to justice." Lincoln said.

"How noble of you." Detective Bojack smiled. "But why don't you leave it for the professionals. Now, let's go."

"I said no." Lincoln said as he getting angry.

"Fine, kid. Looks like we're going to do this the hard way." Detective Bojack took out his handcuffs.

Lincoln can't deal with this so he makes a run for it.

"Hey!" Detective Bojack chase after him. "Get back here!"

The two ran down to another alley while trying not to get hit by a passing vehicle. The Detective isn't as fast since he's a bit overweight but struggles to push forward. A few minutes of being chased by the law, Lincoln ran to an dead end after making a wrong turn, he's know cornered.

"No where left to run, kid."

What is Lincoln going to do? If he fights him, he'll be even more trouble than before. No choice. He has to surrender but hope they don't unmasked him...until.

Detective Bojack got hit from the back of his head; knocking him out.

Lincoln gasped. "Mr. and Mr. McBride? How did you-where did you-".

"Come on. We need to get you out of here." Harold said.

Inside the McBride's home, The three are sitting in the living room couch. Lincoln is eating a cookie and took sip off milk until he finally say something.

"I supposed I don't have to ask you on how do you know it's me under the costume." Lincoln smiled.

"The white hair. It's very rare their is a boy with white in Royal Woods." Howard said.

"Right." Lincoln realized it.

"And you call us by our last names." Harold added.

Lincoln smack his head for feeling stupid.

"So, you've discovered the Ace Cave under your house." Howard asks him.

Lincoln is surprised to hear that from. "Wait. How did you know about that?"

"Because we got a secret room that not even our son found out about this, connects to the Ace Cave. It alert us on our phone when someone is in the cave and used the security on the Ace Cave's monitor to discover it was you." Howard explained.

"We wanted to speak with you after you leave the house; you're sisters should not know about this or they're going to get hurt as well. We could have gotten here sooner, but you know bad traffic." Harold finish explaining.

"How do you two know all of this?" Lincoln asks him.

"Because, Lincoln, I'm...Four of Kind." Harold said.

"And I'm Pair." Howard said.

"And we work along side with your parents." They said.

Lincoln gasped. "No way."

"Yes way, Lincoln." Harold smiled.

"Well, we were until we found out what happen to your parents." Howard sighed. "It was awful."

Lincoln feeling sad now. "He's out there. I need to find him and bring him for justice. So, please, don't tell me to give up all this. Every night I've been having the same nightmare, seeing my lifeless parents laying on the street while the man laughed and ran off. This pain won't go away until I find him." Lincoln got on his knees and begged for them. "Please, train me."

Harold and Howard look each other and then look down on Lincoln.

"If this what you wanted, then so be it." Howard said said.

Lincoln quickly looks up with a surprised look on his face. "Really? You'll teach me?"

Harold and Howard smiled as the nod. "You can come by every night on Friday and Saturday." Harold said.

"That way your sisters won't see when they fast asleep and you won't fell asleep in school. You need some good sleep to get up for school." Howard said.

Lincoln is smiling and tearing up a bit. "Thank you. Thank you for everything." Lincoln hugs them.

Harold and Howard smile and hugs him back too.

*FLASHBACK ENDED*

"For several months, Pair and Four of Kind have trained me really hard until I'm fully ready to go out again. They past on a copy of my dad's old costume which is a much better detail than my first costume." Ace finished his backstory.

"Woah. That was incredible, Ace. You got trained by other former superheroes." Ruby said.

Ace chuckles a bit. "Yep. They're good teachers." Ace looks at the clock and sees it's very late. " Oh, its past 9:00. Time for bed." Ace tuck Ruby into her bed.

"Thank you for telling me your backstory, Ace."

"Your welcome, Ruby. Sleep tight." Ace kiss her on her forehead and leaves her room.

Ruby yawned. "Goodnight, Ace." She fell asleep.

For a whole month, Ace spends time with little Ruby. They read comics together, play action figures, and secretly Ruby wants Ace to swing around the city just for a short time. But when the month is about to end, it was time for Ace to depart. He's getting ready to put Ruby to bed.

"This whole month as been great." Ruby looking sad. "I wish you wouldn't have to go."

"I wish I could stay stay and spend time with you even more, but you know the rules." Ace said.

"I know. Ace, before you go, could you do something for me one last time."

"Of course, Ruby."

"Would you take off your mask for me? I want to see who you really are."

"I-I'm not..." Ace looks at Ruby with her puppy eyes. "Oh, why not. For you, Ruby." Ace removes his mask revealing Ruby his true identity. "My real name is Lincoln Loud and it's nice to meet with you." Lincoln smiled.

Ruby chuckles. "Nice to meet you, Lincoln." Ruby hugs him. "And goodbye."

Lincoln hugs her back with a smile. After a hug, Lincoln tuck her back to bed as he puts back on his mask.

"I'll keep your secret all to myself, Lincoln. For the rest." Ruby smiled.

Ace smiled. "Thanks, Ruby. Goodnight." He leaves the room.

Ace reach outside to get on his bike, he puts on his helmet and drives off into the night. Pass by without knowing, the man with a blue flaming skull tattoo on his face was hiding in the alley after spotting Ace who was driving by. "Whew. That was a close one." He pants.
