The young man named Brock seems very angry and yelling at himself; "I was supposed to be home but nooo! I had to save a weird kid that I don't know or have ever met in my life and now I have to be responsible for him! WHAT AN IDIOT I AM!"
The young man walks from right to left, looking upset and anxious, and putting both hands on his head while cursing himself. Meanwhile, Lincoln barely gets up from the couch, rubbing his cheek after that treacherous blow that Isaac gave him.
At that moment Lincoln, very upset, begins to speak to the young man with brown hair; "Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?! Why did you hit me!? And who are you?!"
Isaac looks at the albino again with great anger; "It seems that your brain capacity is very low, I'll repeat it to you again. My name is Brock old man."; The white-haired man gets angry and says; "Who are you calling, you idiot old man!;
Brock responds, "I don't see any other people with the same hair color as yours. Well, maybe the little girl... but that's not the point."
Lincoln replies; "I'm not an idiot old man! I was born like this with white hair."; Brock, tired of arguing, tells Albino; "We're not going to get anywhere. Help me get those girls in.";
Lincoln surprised says; "Sam and Lina, I forgot about them!"
Brock just sighs and says; "Typical idiot."; Brock angrily claims; "You're the idiot!"
Lincoln and Brock take the girls into the house, they put them in the living room and the worried albino says to Brock; "Are they okay?"; Brock answers; "Yes, don't worry; once the paralysis is over they won't remember anything of what happened.";
Lincoln sighs in relief and with a small smile on his lips he says to Brock; "Thanks for helping me with the girls but..."; Lincoln with a serious look asks him; "Brock, who are you?"
Brock looks at Lincoln and jokingly says to Lincoln; "Careful, you've already put on the typical look of an anime protagonist, now I'm really scared."
Lincoln angrily tells Brock; "Hey, I just want to know who you really are!"; Brock stops joking and tells the albino in a serious voice; "Sit down and I'll explain it to you, it will be very long or at least before the paralysis ends in those girls."
Lincoln and Isaac sit in the living room and Brock starts talking, "Well where do I start? Well how do you know? You've already realized that you're not in your own world, right?"
Lincoln just tells Brock, "Yes."
Brock continues; "I bet you think this is all a dream, right?"; Lincoln is surprised by his exact deduction and says; "If when I got out of bed I wasn't in my room, but in this world married to Sam and supposedly I have a daughter named Lina Loud."
Brock tells Lincoln in a serious tone; "Because in reality they are your wife and daughter my friend."
Lincoln in an annoyed tone says to Brock: "Don't call me Sherlock!"
Brock jokingly says, "You're welcome, dear Watson."
Brock finished joking and says to Lincoln; "But seriously boy, she really is your wife and daughter." Lincoln is surprised and looks at the girls who are still paralyzed.
Brock asks the albino something; "By the way, what's your name?"; Lincoln stops looking at the girls and tells Brock his name; "My name is Lincoln Marie Loud."
Lincoln sighs and says, "How is it possible that I'm married to her and we never even had a romance?" Brock tells Lincoln, "What you're saying is totally true, you never had a romance with that girl but your alternate version did."
Surprised, Lincoln says to Brock; "My alternate self?!"; Brock replies; "Yes, your alternate friend, do you remember what happened in the park?"
Lincoln begins to remember what happened at that moment and tells Brock; "I was reading my comic in the park and some thieves took me hostage to escape from the police and after that I don't remember anything else."
Brock applauds Lincoln and with a smile says; "Bravo, Bravo! Looks like your brain works after all."; Lincoln growls angrily and says; "Are you done making fun of me!?"
Brock jokingly says to Lincoln; "That depends on the answer you give me, kid."
Brock starts talking seriously; "Well I'll sum it up for you. You got hit in the head, you passed out, I saved your pale ass and now it's in a different world and it appears you're not dead or sleeping in a dog house. Hahaha";
Lincoln just looks at Brock with some annoyance and the brown-haired boy continues talking; "It seems you realized your size, friend."
Lincoln just answers; "If it appears that I grew, I feel that it is my body, but not totally."
Brock tells him; "Technically it's yours but at the same time it's not."; Lincoln confused says. -How? Brock explains; "Lincoln your mind and body have merged into one with this alternate Lincoln."
Lincoln still confused says; "Wait I still understand this alternate Lincoln thing."
Brock says hitting his face with his palm in frustration; "A nerd who reads comics doesn't know about multiple alternate universes; how embarrassing you are."; Lincoln is in shock and says; "Alternate universe?!"; The words he said felt a huge chill in his body and Brock is still explaining to him; "That's right milk hair, you're in an alternate universe where you married this girl and she has a daughter or rather the Lincoln Loud of this world did it."
Brock adds;;"We're in universe 518; here Sam Sharp had problems with your sister, and you with an ex-friend; one thing leads to another and you became a father at 13.
Lincoln still scared of the tremendous news says: "How is it possible that I am in another alternate universe?!; I had a dream where my sister Lisa invented a dimensional travel device where my 10 sisters were brothers, but it was all a dream as I thought but this is not a dream."
Brock is a little surprised and says; "Lisa Loud? That's why that last name seemed familiar to me."; Lincoln gets excited and happily says; "Yes, Lisa Loud is my second younger sister, she's 4 years old and she's a super genius for her young age."
Brock tells Lincoln; "I know, she's a super genius, arrogant, stubborn and very headstrong but unlike your Lisa from your world; the one I know is 23 years old and left science for love, she married a certain Darcy, it went viral all over the internet."
Lincoln is completely shocked to hear what Brock said; "Whaaat?! Lisa became a lesbian?!"; Brock just tells him without much emotion in his voice; "Surprise, this is the multiverse, my friend." Then Brock continued; "And that thing about you and your siblings, it wasn't a dream, I had to fix things when I detected a dimensional jump"
Lincoln still in shock says; "If this body is not mine and I am in another universe? How the hell did I get here?!"
Brock answers: "I'll sum it up for you. I'm a dimensional traveler, I spend my time traveling through different multiverses just for fun; I got the technology from some alien friends and I did the rest myself. I've traveled to many alternate universes where I've seen almost everything; where the Nazis won World War II. Where there was never an LGBT community but minorities are still respected without making a stupid scandal and another is that I've seen millions and millions of deaths."
Brock sighs loudly; "After traveling so much I stopped in your dimension to buy a simple ice cream and I saw that scene of the robbers; and I'm not going to lie to you, I was going to leave you to die."; Lincoln swallows and says; "Why did you save me?"
Brock answers: "That's what I asked myself. I don't know if it was my conscience taking over my brain or if I was tired of seeing so many deaths or if the guys just made me angry. Maybe it's because I hate bullies and when I come across one I want to destroy them."
Brock takes a deep sigh and says; "In some strange way this makes me responsible for whatever you decide."; Lincoln confused says; "Whatever I decide?"
Brock says; "If you want to go back to your world or stay in a random universe like this one for example."; Lincoln was going to answer but is interrupted by Brock; "I have to tell you some rules first."
Lincoln scratches his head and says, "Rules?" Brock replies, "Yeah, buddy, in a world without rules, everything turns to chaos."
Brock looks seriously at Lincoln and says; "First: I don't know where your dimension is specifically; I just travel and return to the dimension where I belong; I don't write down where I want to go or not; it's the first time that I've had a case where I save someone by taking them out of their dimension."
Lincoln angrily tells him "Why can't you send me to my world?!";
Brock replies, "You remember what I said, right? I'm just doing this for fun and nothing more."
Lincoln says still angry; "So you can take me to your world!?"; Brock answers very seriously to Lincoln; "I can't do it Lincoln."
Lincoln angry and with doubts says; "Why not?!; I can be in your dimension and expect you to do your job.";
Brock answers; "Here comes the second point."; Brock says; "Second: In each dimension it is almost like a timeline, but with infinite possibilities; imagine a straight line that is your world Lincoln, now that straight line takes another path which is the one we are in now. This second line that we are in you are married to this blonde girl and that white-haired girl when you woke up you didn't know where you were and you thought it was all a dream."
Brock with a serious tone says to Lincoln; "Tell me, what would happen if I take you to my world and you don't know anything about the other alternate Lincoln?"
A confused Lincoln can't understand what he meant, so he asks, "What's another Lincoln?"
Brock answers; "I don't know that, it's possible that another version of yourself is fine; but if it wasn't like that?"; Lincoln swallows and listens more attentively to Brock; "Let's say in a hypothetical case that I take you to my world, but that Lincoln Loud is in serious trouble like some thieves like what happened to you in your dimension or he's in an asylum or possibly he has a terminal illness and he may have a few years, months, weeks or possibly even a day to live."
At that, Lincoln is completely frozen listening to all those possibilities and he asks with a scared face; "Why don't you separate me from this body and I am my original body?"
Brock says; "I can't do that either, apparently two individuals can't exist in the same world, so your body merges with the body and soul of the host in turn."; Brock, another with that super serious look, says to the albino; "Lincoln, if the host of the other universe of yourself dies, it will also be the end for you."
Lincoln goes completely pale.
Brock continues; "I have a special condition to travel to other universes. I don't need to merge with alternate versions of myself because I'm configured that way thanks to my technology. I don't need to eat, sleep or age; I'm totally out of the timeline"; Lincoln just stays silent, still not recovering from the news.
Brock snaps his fingers and says to Lincoln; "Wake up, class isn't over yet."
Lincoln wakes up from his shock and Brock continues with the explanation; "Third: you can only travel three times in each dimension, which means two will be for you and the third will be to return to my house, until a whole week passes."
A scared Lincoln says, "Why do I have to travel twice, and wait a whole week for you to pick me up?" Brock explains, "This machine I have consumes too much energy and takes a long time to charge."
Lincoln very upset and angry says; "Why don't you recharge it in the dimension we're in?!"; Brock jokingly says to Lincoln; "Good idea, how did I not think of that. Let me go to the neighbor's house next door and ask if she has enough electricity to light up the entire city of New York. How did I not think of that!"
Lincoln angrily tells him; "Stop joking, damn it!"
Brock answers: "Lincoln, the electric power is not enough; but I have a technology that helps recharge my machine, do you understand?"
Brock begins to talk about the next point; "Fourth: The week you are in the 3rd universe where you stay; I am not responsible for the stupidity that you are going to do with the other host of the other universe. I can help you find a Lincoln who is healthy and with his mind totally sane and also with this device we can communicate and I can give you information about the world where you are."
Brock takes out a cell phone and gives it to Lincoln. The albino asks, "What's this for?" Brock tells him, "It's to help you if you find yourself in trouble. But you'll be responsible for the economic, social, family and moral life of the alternate Lincoln; if you screw up, it'll be your fault and you'll have that guilty conscience. Do you understand?"
Brock says the last rule; "And fifth, never leave the country, you can go anywhere in it but if you leave I won't be able to come for you. It's a lot of paperwork in my dimension, and the truth is if you leave you're lost forever."
Lincoln nods his head. Brock is still talking to him; "Lastly, and I quote: if I find out that you're trying to trick me into taking my machine away, I have three big pieces of news for you.
"I am the only person with the knowledge and the unique DNA of my dimension. That makes it so that only I can use it; without me it doesn't work. The other, if you do something stupid, I will take you to a dimension where your life can become a real hell. And finally; even though I am separated from my machine, I can use it remotely."
Lincoln swallows and scared says; "Ok"
Brock gets serious and says to Lincoln; "Lincoln, have you made a decision yet? I have enough energy for three trips and the third is to get back home; I really want to go and rest."
Lincoln looks at Sam and Lina and thinks, "I'm sorry Sam and Lina, I'm not the person you know and I can't betray my sister Luna."
Lincoln becomes determined and says, "I want to go home."
