Chapter 8: Returning Home
11 months has passed since Lincoln's discovery of his adoption and now he continues his life as he did before. After another training session with Artemis, Lincoln and Diana were heading back to Lincoln's home, Lincoln was evermore excited that his birthday was tomorrow and hoped to have a day of relaxation. As they entered Lincoln's Home, his mother had a surprise for him, which will change is life forever.
"Lincoln, I want to give you something." Alexa said to her son.
Both Lincoln and Diana looked at her confused, because they were expecting that Lincoln's birthday was tomorrow.
"Lincoln, eleven months ago I revealed, who you really are and as a gift, I thought it was best for you to reunite with your family.""
"What, How?" Lincoln responded to his mother's statement.
"Last week I used one of my favors from Apollo, to give us this Medallion, where it will transport you to your family's home." Alexa showed her son the Medallion that was to be his gateway to Man's World and Themyscira.
"If I turn it it'll take me to where my family lives?"
"Yes, but only if you want to meet your family." , said his mother.
"I don't know, I mean yes, I will, I need to know who my family is."
"When you travel there, ask the people if they are the Louds, that is your family name." Alexa informed.
"When will I leave?" Lincoln asked.
"I was hoping tonight, because this is around the time you showed up on Themyscira." , Alexa answered.
After the brief talk, Lincoln went into his room to pack up his things, that would be worth taking. Some extra pairs of clothes, a dagger which Artemis gave him for his tenth birthday, the Medallion of course, which he tied around his neck, and Bun-bun, the toy rabbit he had since infancy.
He went back to the home's living room and their were the people who were expecting him were his Mother, his Aunt Artemis, Antiope, Diana, and her little sister Donna who turned 6 a few weeks ago. They were all saying goodbye which a few of them feared it was the last time they would be seeing him.
"Just be careful and if anything bad happens, I want you to come back immediately." His mother spoke out of concern."
Donna went up to him and said, " I hope you have fun." He hugged her and told her that he will miss her.
" I hope you will be happy in Man's World, and maybe you'll find a wife there." Antiope said. Then Artemis debunked her statement, "Nonsense, He will marry Amazon or no woman at all." They all laughed. Then Artemis turned to Lincoln and said, " Remember what I taught you."
" I will." Promised Lincoln. Then he turned to Diana who gave him a tight hug, and out of nowhere kissed him with passion on his lips. All the other women were shocked and also at the same time thankful that the Queen didn't attend the goodbye party and Lord knows only what would've happened if Hippolyta witnessed her daughter kissing a man. Diana stopped kissing him and told him.
"Promise me, you will come back."
"I will.", Lincoln promised. And said his goodbye, because he might not be seeing them for a long time. He twisted the pin on the Medallion and he was gone in a flash.
Lincoln then found himself outside, in the yard of a large two story white painted house, he was looking around the area and noticed a lot of junk in the yard, and also noticed that the environment was far different from the tropical island of Themyscira, and that he felt a chill from the wind, the place he was in was a lot colder than Themyscira and to also the fact it was nighttime. Before he finished surveying the area, he was
tackled to the ground and on top of him was a brunette haired girl, with a ponytail, and she was wearing a white shirt with long red sleeves.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my yard?" She ordered him to tell her
