Hello everyone! Welcome to a new story I called "The Loud Without Fear" Since you all loved my HercuLOUD story, I had an idea of a crossover between Loud House and Daredevil. Now I only remembered watching the film version of Daredevil and read a few Daredevil comics. I'm familiar with the storyline. I'm not sure how the story will turn out. Be as dark like the movie that no one liked. I haven't seen the show, but there are clips on YouTube. If you're a fan of Daredevil and seen the show, give me some options. Right after this chapter.

And now, let's begin reading, The Loud Without Fear.

The Loud Without Fear

Chapter 1: And He Cried "Dad!"

Saturday was one busy day at Lynn's Table. In the morning, the Loud family woke up and, by the patriarchy's orders, went to the restaurant to help. The staff/ family were busy taking their food orders to the customers or at the kitchen helping their father, Lynn Loud Sr, prepare the food. The entire community of Royal Woods were there in the restaurant. After the disaster on the opening day, everyone loves the food the man made as they were named after the family.

In the kitchen, there was the twelve year old white haired boy, Lincoln, Loud, stirring the barbeque sauce for the Beef Well-Lincoln. Like usual, he turned around to greet the audience. "Welcome to your typical Saturday morning in my dad's restaurant! As you can see, everyone from town are here to eat," Lincoln show the small window of the customers enjoying the food and the place. "Even though the restaurant's first day of opening didn't go so well, the family stick through. Me and my sisters and my mom are the staff as well as my dad's friend, Kotaro. But the man behind the success was our dad. His food have brought in more customers than we can ever imagine. That's why we're here every weekend. And so far, we got no fights."

"Hey Stickcoln!" Lynn shouted from outside of the kitchen. "Stop talking your imaginary friends and get back to work!" Lincoln roll her eyes at his sister's rudeness before returning to stir the sauce.

His dad and owner of the restaurant, Lynn Sr, came in with a smile. "Hiya, sport! How's the sauce?" He asked.

"It's almost ready, dad!" Lincoln exclaim back. Lynn Sr grab the wooden spoon that was next to the stove and scoop it before tasting it. Lynn Sr close his eyes and his smile widened. "Oh yeah!" He then spoke in an Italian accent. "The sauce-a is a ready-a!" Lincoln laugh a little. He felt his shoulder being pat in pride. "What say we take the beef out and we put the sauce together?"

Lincoln nod his head. After the food is place, Lincoln and his father both put the sauce on the Beef Well-Lincoln. Lincoln held his smile. Since the restaurant's great success, his relationship with his dad improved. They helped in the kitchen and prepare the food together like father and son. There was no difference between them beside watching their favorite show. Once the food is set, Lincoln is told to deliver it to the customer. Once he set it, he replied with manner like a waiter would say.

"Here's your food, ma'am," He said before his heart stop of hearing the person who ordered the food.

"Oh, thank you Lincoln," Lincoln leaned his head up to see his substitute teacher Miss DiMartino. Lincoln's face turn red upon seeing his teacher smile and eating her meal. The meal was named after him.

"Bah...Bah…" Lincoln mutter in a love sick tone. Luckily, his guardian came to the rescue.

"Don't mine him, Miss D," Luna Loud spoke behind the boy and teastly said. "Little dude is shy to greet his teachers at this place."

The teacher giggle "It's no problem, Luna. Ms. Johnson and Principle Huggins and the rest of the staff are here. Thank you for the food, Lincoln."

Lincoln's voice break before answering clearly, "Yo-Your welcome," Luna giggle in amusement and drag Lincoln away from the attractive Hispanic teacher. The boy then face Luna, "Uh, thanks."

"If it hadn't been for me, you would've been getting a nose bleed after beeping like a robot," Luna russell the boy's hair, making him pout. "Get back to the kitchen with pop star, and try not to flirt with your teacher before the staff sees you."

Lincoln argue in a whisper, "I was not flirting!"

Luna reply in a sing-sang tone, "Sure you weren't~!" She left to leave Lincoln with more red in his face.

Lincoln frown before his smile came back. Things have never been greater in Lynn's Table. The family have been getting praises from everyone. At work. At school. Even by their friends and co-workers. Everyone has eaten here non-stop. Members from City Hall came and ate here. And thanks to some encouragement, the restaurant has earned its place on the map to attract tourists during the summer. As much as Lincoln like to praise more on how well the place is doing, he couldn't agree with how the place also gain some backlash. Since Lynn's Table was founded, the family have been getting hate mail and threats. They thought it was a few customers the girls must've anger. But the mail keeps piling on. All were from disgruntled employees from several fusion restaurants. Lincoln and Lynn investigated, but there wasn't any proof it was them. Next were some local street thugs who enter the restaurant unannounced and made a ruckus in front of the customers. When asked why they are here, they demanded the place need "protection" from "unwelcome strangers." They wanted 250 an hour from each. Lynn Sr. threatened to call the cops while Luna, Lynn Jr, and Lana wanted to beat the bastards. They hired the three as the muscle to take care of any street thugs. And last by not least was Tetherby. The name brought venom in the boy's frown. He hated the old man because he was a bad influence. His sister couldn't agree more as well as his parents. He remembered when Lord Tetherby entered to eat, which was a surprise to the siblings since why would a high socialist would eat in a not so fancy place. Tetherby learned of the restaurant earning its place on the map and offer his help to change to place and add sophisticated food. Lynn Sr and Rita did not like the idea. Lynn Sr ask the old man to leave and is never allow here again. Lincoln and his family never saw him again. Other than Lucy and Lola seeing his limo parking outside of the restaurant and spying on them. This causes them to chase the limousine. Lincoln hoped there was no unwelcome surprises from either of them.

However, what he didn't realize is one is about to happen when the night is near.

Mr. and Mr. McBride and his son all thank the Loud family for the meal. Rita closed the door and flip the sign to indicate it was closed. Which gain a lot of relief from everyone. Cheers erupted.

"Great work everyone!" Lynn Sr said with joyness to his family.

Lori leaned back against the chair with a large sigh, "Now I can finally text my Bobby-boo-boo bear!"

Lola exclaimed, "I can count how much tips I got!"

Luan remark "I should tip my hat if I had one of how much I got from bringing smiles. Hahaha! Get it?!"

Lisa clear her throat to get everyone's attention, "Might if we reviewed our finances going over to where we took part is assisting as employees?"

"Spare us the details and get to the part how much this place made," Lynn Jr said with a greedy grin, not caring about their performances.

Lisa took out her notepad and review her notes, "It's been three weeks since the restaurant received no complaints or unwelcome visitors. Security is tight to make sure no one was harassing the customers or damaging properties," Luna, Lynn Jr, and Lana greet each other with a high five. "No arguments from staff, which is a good thing if we can keep this up at home. Other than that, we're in a grant total of $3,534.04."

The family loudly cheer at the empty place. Leni gushes "I can buy with so many clothes!"

"Forget clothes! I gonna buy my own motorcycle!" Lynn Jr grin widely.

Lynn Sr and Rita shook their heads in amusement of the kids exclaiming what they wanted to buy from the money they gain. From Rita's arms, Lily babble in what she wants to buy. Lynn Sr. said as he raised his arms, "Ok, gang. I know everyone wants to go home. But we have another day for tomorrow morning," This got groans from the family. But Lynn Sr kept grinning. "I'm not done. What say, we close the restaurant at three and you guys can spend your earnings throughout the rest of the day? You guys earn it."

Lynn Sr is brought into a group hug from his children and loudly say "Thank you." Rita gave her husband a kiss on the cheek. Rita said "I'm ready to go home."

"But first, somebody has to take out the trash," Lynn Sr said.

All girls shouted "Not it!"

Lincoln is too late to say it and curse "Dang it! Why can't any of you guys doing?"

Lola scoff "Did you not see us working throughout the whole day? We need our breaks!"

"Hey, I shared the work! I deserve a break!"

"Maybe you were too busy trying to flirt with Miss DiMartino or Leni's friends or some of your friends from school?" Lori teases Lincoln, bringing some mocks of cooing.

Lincoln yell "I was not flirting! I was keeping a cool head!"

Leni point out innocently, "You're not worrying of a brain freeze, Linky?"

"Ha! He was!" Lynn Jr exclaim before laughing.

Luna giggle before seeing how upset Lincoln was. She said as her hand tuck his cheek, "Aww, cheek up, luv. We're just teasing ya. I heard from Leni's friends you look cute as a waiter," Lincoln remembered Leni's friends were cooing at him bringing his food to them and greeted with a smile.

Luan grin with a laugh, "All you were missing was a tuxedo suit and you fit for the role as one of the penguins from Mary Poppins."

"It's alright, Lincoln. I can help you," Lynn Sr offer his help. Lincoln nod his head before he and dad made their way to the kitchen.

Outside of the restaurant, the father and son both were carrying a trash bag. Lynn Sr. carries it with one hand as Lincoln was dragging it. They loaded the trash in the trash can with Lynn Sr. helping his son.

Lynn Sr. remarked, "You should exercise more, son."

"Why you think I have Lynn?" He reply back, and the two chuckle. Lynn Sr. spoke more, "Don't listen to what your sisters say. So you had a run in with your teacher. Not a big deal. At least she and the other girls think you're handsome," Lynn Sr. smirked mischievously. Lincoln laugh more. "I'm serious. You should take pride as a Loud."

"If I would, my sisters might hound me into my love life."

"Oh, so you have a love life, mister?"

"I would if my sisters can't stop meddle in my life," Lincoln's smile flatter down a little. His father understood what he meant.

"You know they love you, son. They agree to tone down the meddling if you meet a girl."

"If a girl who loves me doesn't get driven away by my sisters."

"You'll find the right girl, son. She just has to meet your soulmate. That's how I met your mother."

Both of them say to each other, "No pun intended."

"And you raise a huge family in the end, and promise to be a great protector and role model," Lynn Sr. finished. He eyed on his son, who looked at him with soft eyes. "One day you'll know what it's like. The family is like your pack. To protect your pack from danger, you got to be a man. You can't show any weakness from anyone. Just like how I handle those people who didn't like my restaurant," A sigh escape from his lips. "This place is like my second home. I don't know what would happen to it if I let strangers ruin it."

Lincoln nods his head with determination, "We'll make sure that won't happen, dad."

Lynn Sr. pat his son on the head, "I know you will. Don't wanna keep the family waiting," The two turn their heads to head inside before a voice stopped them.

"Stop right there!" The two turn to see a mugger with a gun pointing at them. Both of them stand still. "Wallet! Now!"

Lynn Sr said, his voice calm "Alright. Take it easy," His hands were going to his pockets. Lincoln is frozen like a deer caught in the headlights. The mugger point the gun at him, resulting in a low gasp. "Don't point at my son. Here, take it," The wallet is right at the man's hand. The mugger move his other hand to take it. The two took a step back while Lynn Sr spoke more "You have your money. Just leave and we won't call the cops."

The mugger took an inside look at the wallet. He frown menacingly at what he saw. "This is all you got? I want more!"

Lynn Sr. said while Lincoln look ready to run and get help, "L-Look, I'll get more inside."

"What you got, kid? Tell me!" The gun point at Lincoln again, this time the mugger is ready to kill him.

"Don't shoot my son!" Lynn Sr. yelled in anger after losing how negotiation tactics. Lynn Sr. grab the gun, and the two begin to wrestle. Lincoln made a silent scream. His eyes never turn away at it. His hands shaking. His breathing raspy. The white haired boy didn't know what to do. His body made him move to pry the gun from the mugger.

Lynn Sr. shouted in fear, "No, Lincoln!"

The mugger then slam Lincoln against the trash can. The gun is set to launch a bullet. But once the gunshot is fired, Lincoln's eyes saw his father taking a leap. The bullet had entered the man's heart. Lincoln's shaking eyes never saw the mugger's face or him taking out something from his back pocket and said he seen too much. His eyes start to burn from a dash of cold, green liquid that splash into him. Lincoln cover his eyes and yell; the mugger run away as Lynn's Sr body fall to the ground.

All he did was cry in the night of Royal Woods. "DAD!"
