Chapter 23 Comics

Author's note: Sorry I haven't updated more, I've been busy with other things. Please forgive me

Back at the Loud House

Lucy looks at the comic book in front of her that reads "Origins of the Hare". It has a picture wrapping the text of the face of a white rabbit with metal in its ears and bright red eyes. Then she says to herself

"That's odd, Lincoln left out its sleeve, I could swear he yelled at us about keeping his comics in great condition," Lucy says to herself. She then goes to open it but suddenly the door is slammed open. After the sound dampens the cause is seen to be Lynn.

"Luce, dad asked me to try to convince you to come with us to the beach, come on!" Lynn rudely responds

"I already told them, I want to stay here and look after Lincoln" Lucy replies

"You still going with that nonsense, he's bad luck end of the story. So stop acting like he's so important, besides he's old enough to handle himself." Lynn retorts

"I'm aware of his age but we have restricted him from going inside completely," Lucy states, Lynn just rolls her eyes at Lucy and spot the comic within Lucy's hands.

"You know what, to help you get him out of your head I'm just going to" She reaches over and the comic out of Lucy's hands "take this and put it with all the other stuff in Lincoln's room to sell." Lynn proudly proclaims. Before Lucy could say anything Lynn walks away with the comic and the door closes behind her. Lucy then becomes red with anger. She gets up from the bed and then exits the room and follows Lynn in an attempt to reclaim the comic. Just as she catches up to her she is intercepted by Luna.

"Hey Luce, got a minute?" Luna asks in a mellow tone, Lucy nods her head yes. "Well, I was wondering if there was anything about Lincoln's location in his room" Lucy nods her head yes slightly and the two head off to Lincoln's room. As they approach the door they a voice from downstairs,

"Okay girls, the car's all packed, let's head off to the beach" Their father announces. Lucy and Luna look at each other with a bit of fear in their eyes.

"You go with the others but I need you to do something for me" Lucy states

"Sure, what do ya need?" Luna asks

"I found a comic in Lincoln's room but it doesn't look like something Lincoln would have, so I wanted to investigate but then Lynn snatched it away from me. I need you to get it back from her" Luna nods her head yes then goes downstairs along with her other sisters to the Vanzilla. Vanzilla departs and heads for the beach while Lucy is left alone in her home. She takes a deep breath, then she heads up to Lincoln's room and lays down. She begins to fall asleep,

In Lucy's dreams

Lucy opens her eyes and she is at the beach alone in the afternoon, she then feels a tap on the shoulder, she turns her head and sees her brother with an ice cream cone in his hand.

"Hey Lucy, I got the ice cream you wanted, dark chocolate just like your soul" Lincoln states, then with tears running down her face Lucy charges into her brother and hugs him almost making him drop the ice cream. "Whoa Lucy, are you okay? Are you doing another break from the darkness?" Lincoln asks with confusion in his voice.

"No I'm fine, I was just worried" Lucy replies, Lincoln smiles and hands her the ice cream.

"That's cool, hey I'm gonna go" Lincoln state which makes Lucy's heart skip a beat.

"What?!" Lucy asks worrisome. Lincoln doesn't respond and begins to walk towards the ocean so Lucy tries to grab his leg but her passes through. This confuses her but she keeps trying and failing to stop her brother. He then walks directs into the water to the point of him strolling through the waves. "Lincoln! Please stop! Don't leave me!" Lucy uncharacteristically yells with tears running down her face. Lincoln stops walking and turns around with a devilish smile on his face and all the sound around Lucy fades away for a second and all she hears is Lincoln.

"Lucy, don't worry I'm a lot happier to be away from you all," Lincoln responded with a wicked gleam in his eyes. Behind him, a giant wave this size of a building forms and then falls directs on him.

"Nooooooo!" Lucy yells as her surroundings begin to envelop her.

Back in Lincoln's room

Lucy is struggling to remain asleep when she suddenly wakes up.

"Noooooooo!" Lucy yells and then she starts frantically looking around to conclude that she is in Lincoln's room. " Weird dream" Lucy states.

Meanwhile in Vanzilla

The other member of the Loud family is on the highway, the sister looks a bit uneasy about their current situation but Lynn is oblivious to that so she just happily sits there playing a phone game. From the backseat, Luna notices that Lynn has a comic book sticking out of her pocket. Luna reaches over and taps Lynn's shoulder getting her attention.

"Hey sis, what's with the comic?" Luna asks while trying to her true intention. Lynn looks at the comic in question to conclude.

"Oh this, I found it with Stinkcoln's stuff so I'm probably going to sell it when we get home," Lynn replies. Her sisters overhear this and are left stunned.

"Would ya mind if I see it?" Luna asks nervously. Lynn shrugs her shoulders and hands her sister the comic. Luna looks at the comic's cover and thinks to herself, "This looks like a death metal cover and since when is Lincoln into this?"
