We move away from Metropolis to another big city that isn't as known but was still familiar to the Loud family; Great Lake City and it was home to the Casagrande family. The children of said family: Ronnie Anne Santiago, CJ & Carlitos Casagrande were watching El Falcon de Fuego which was still Carl's favourite TV show after all this time. The episode that they were watching was none other than a rerun of Carl's absolute favourite: the one that introduced the sidekick contest winners Tuba Boy and Pandalaide (as created by his close friends Alexis and Adelaide) and what introduced his own entry into that contest El Pollito albeit as a villain. The characters still strong in the show to this very day.

"Gets better every time that I watch it..." Carl sighed with happiness and Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes; though amused by her cousin couldn't get over the excitement after all of this time. "You know; I bet that I could be an epic villain in real life... If Alexis and Adelaide had to face me for real in real life as their characters; then they wouldn't have a chance..." Carl then bragged as Ronnie Anne started snickering behind her hand as Carl gave her a look. "What's so funny?" Carl asked as Ronnie Anne just whistled, not wanting to answer that.

"I don't think that you would be very good at being a bad guy since your own schemes do tend to backfire." CJ said bluntly as Carlitos nodded and Ronnie Anne shrugged her shoulders since CJ said it better than she could.

"I would so be a good supervillain or better yet a superhero; mark my words... If we lived in Metropolis then I would be the best!" Carl boasted and Ronnie Anne started outright laughing at that causing Carl to groan.

"I wouldn't be romanticising what it would be like to be in that dreadful place Carl! You know that Ronnie Anne's close friend Lincoln made it to the hospital within a week of the Louds moving to that city!" tutted Rosa Casagrande with her husband Hector and then followed by Carlos and Frida. Ronnie Anne's face fell upon the reminder and the room became tense at the incident being brought up.

Ronne Anne still remembered how it went when they all got the news: Bobby came home from a dinner date with Lori early and he looked hectic. He explained that Lori had to leave the table to take a call from her parents and she ended up shouting and got her jacket and said that she had to drive to Metropolis and explained why. Lincoln was in the hospital thanks to an incident at his dad's new restaurant location involving some idiot 'superhero' in a stupid helmet and a mercenary known as Deathstroke and it turned out that one of the chefs was an assassin! Then some research found that Deathstroke was known as one of the most wanted and feared mercenaries in the entire world!

Ronnie Anne was hectic and worried for Lincoln; phoned the Loud family about twice a day for updates and the others showed their worry for Lincoln. Rosa wanted to discuss with the Louds about Lincoln when he was better coming to live with Lori at her place where it would be much safer. She had to yell at him when they were able to have their next call and was glad that he was safe and even managed to make a new friend for himself at the incident.

Lincoln and Zee did sound to be very close and they even formed their own friend group with some more girls which sounded good; she hoped to meet them someday.

Soon came in Carlota and Ronnie Anne noticed all the family members coming in at once; Carlota had moved into her own place and was doing well as a make up artist. Then there was Bobby and Lori hand in hand with big smiles; "Thank you all for gathering here like we asked... We literally have the biggest news ever..." squealed Lori as she showed her new ring finger...


The Super Friends had just stopped a jewellery store robbery and while Zatanna was marvelling at the jewels on display at the store; the others were overlooking the husband and wife team that had done this with the husband calling himself Punch dressed in a multi coloured jester's costume and the wife calling herself Jewelee dressed like a clown. "So... Are these like goons of the Joker that came here from Gotham?" Limelight asked wide eyed as Batgirl shook her head.

"Trust me; the Joker would think that this was too gaudy and ridiculous" Batgirl said as everyone nearby heard loud excited screaming that sounded like it came from another city.

"That kind of sounds familiar..." Peacemaker muttered as they held their ears with Supergirl yelling in pain due to her super hearing.


Once the Casagrande family members finally calmed down and showed their congratulations (or disappointed sighed from Carl) to the now engaged couple; Lori then said "I kind of want to visit my family in Metropolis to tell them all in person..." Lori then said as Rosa then thought off something and stepped forward.

"You know; it's been too long since Ronnie Anne and Lincoln got to spend some time together; what do you think of coming with her and I can come along as well to keep an eye on you! To make sure that it's safe!" Rosa then said as Carl jumped.

"I want to come as well! Carl pleaded as Rosa gave him looks and Maria then looked to them as Ronnie Anne then thought it over.

"I could come Mum as I am due for a vacation soon anyway; would be nice to get to catch up with the Louds. I can look after Ronnie Anne and Carl if you let him..." Maria suggested as Carlos and Frida didn't look sure about letting Carl and he started pleading with them.

"I would be up for visiting; it has been a long while since I got to see him and I have been wanting to meet his new friends." Ronnie Anne then said as Rosa grinned.

"It will be so romantic... Together again after so long!" Rosa said as Ronnie Anne groaned and Carl snickered upon hearing that.

Punch and Jewelee were extremely minor villains that fought Captain Atom in the days of Charlton Comics and if you have read Doomsday Clock; then they were the inspirations for Mime and Marionette. The visit won't be for a while but this is to set it up. Plus since I forgot to mention it about the pairing: I have decided to just have it be and Perdita with Lincoln at least for now.
