Over Royal Woods, lightning flashed through the dark clouds of the night sky. Heading across the road, young Lynn Sr. and Rita Loud were driving back home in their death trap they call Vanzilla. The weather kind of worried them, as didn't seem to be calming down any time soon...

Rita:"Lynn, are you sure we should be driving in this weather?"

Lynn:"Well, we didn't have much choice. But don't worry, honey. I can guarantee that we'll be heading back home, safe and -"

Before he could finish that sentence, Rita yelled and pointed towards the front of the road, where someone seemed be crossing. Slamming the breaks, their van skidded across the road, stopping mere inches towards the person, who suddenly collapsed as the van came to a stop. This left the couple, shocked and terrified...

Lynn:"Please tell me I did not hit that person."

Rita:"No, they just collapsed right in front of us!"

Quickly getting out of the car to see if the person was okay, both Rita and Lynn were shocked to see a white haired woman, around Rita's age, holding something wrapped in a blanket in her arms, dressed in long robes and caked in blood on the ground. She seemed to be wounded on her upper chest, having a burn mark that sunk deep into her flesh. In a state of panic, Lynn quickly checked to see if she was breathing or had a pulse, but they were barely even relieved when they saw her quickly come to, coughing and gagging at they feared was her own blood...

Lynn:"Ma'am? Can you hear me?"

The woman barely had her eyes open as she struggled to raise her body up, but the couple tried to keep her relaxed...

Rita:"Easy, you've seem to have lost a lot of blood."

Lynn:"Please, listen. You're gonna be okay, alright? We'll get you to a hospital."

Woman:"(groans and aches in pain)"

Lynn:"Please, stay with us. You're going to be alright."

Woman:"אנא, אדוני, תרחם עלי."

Rita:"What? What is she saying?"

Lynn:"I don't know. I never heard that language."

Woman:"שלי ... הילד שלי."

Lynn:"What are you saying? We can't understand you."

Woman:"My...boy. Take...care of him."

Rita:"...What?"

Struggling to lift up her arms, the woman gave the thing wrapped in a blanket to Rita. This was more a frightening shock, as Rita now held in her hands a sleeping baby boy with hair as white the woman's...

Rita:"...No. Please, don't do this to us. This is your child!"

Woman:"My boy...לינק...take care of him. He has it. He has...it..."

Those were the woman's final words as the life drained from her body, and tears filled the eyes of both Rita and Lynn, having witness the death of a woman caring for her child, and now having the responsibility to care for that child. On a unrelated note, the skies had finally calmed down. Not long after, they were at the hospital where the doctors looked over the body of the deceased woman, and others looked over the baby they were with. And at that time, Rita and Lynn were confronted by police, who began to question them about what they saw...

Officer:"And who have no relationship with this woman?"

Rita:"No, but she told us to take care of her child. She kept saying that he had..."it", whatever that means."

Officer:"Well, we'll look into the cause of this attempt of murder. I'm deeply sorry you had to see that."

As the officer left the couple to themselves, a nurse came by them, holding the sleeping child in her arms...

Nurse:"Mr. and Mrs. Loud? The boy turned out perfectly fine, but..."

Lynn:"What is it?"

Nurse:"Well, for one thing..."

Showing to both of them the baby, it was revealed that on it's back, there was a strange tattoo in the shape of a rune unfamiliar to anyone...

Lynn:"A tattoo?"

Rita:"Could this by the "it" his mother may have been taking about?"

Nurse:"Well, we're not sure what it means. If you'd like, we may be able to have the tattoo removed."

Rita:"I'm not sure that'd be a good idea. This is just a baby, and it needs to be cared for."

Lynn:"That mother entrusted us to care for her child; it wouldn't be kind of us to not take it in."

Nurse:"Would you like to legally adopt this child then?"

The two looked at each other for a minute, then at each other and decided...

Rita:"Yes."

Nurse:"I'll go get the paperwork then."

Before the nurse left, she gave the baby to Rita, who held it close and cooed it. Though, for a second, there seemed to have been something on Lynn's mind.

Lynn:"Do you remember what the woman called her child?"

Rita:"Hmm...unfortunately not. She said it in that language we couldn't understand."

Lynn:"So, what are gonna call him then?"

Rita:"How about..."

Lincoln...That's the name they legally assigned to the child, as he now officially became their son. All the while, the boy was sleeping for a long time. But soon enough, his eyes opened and saw his new parents smiling over him. He let out a confused expression, which the couple understood since he's never seen them before, but Rita held him close, which made Little Lincoln feel comforted. Not long after, Rita and Lynn were now driving home, with Rita holding onto the boy ever so carefully, and Lynn could tell in his wife's eyes were concern and fear...

Lynn:"...Still thinking about the boy's mother?"

Rita:"This all just happened so fast, Lynn. We didn't have any real right to take this child in, yet the woman trusted us. He'll have to grow up...without knowing where he really came from."

Lynn:"...It's going to be alright, it has to be alright. He'll fit right in with our family...I'm sure the girls will love him...So much, that they'll protect him."

Rita:"I hope your right."

After a little while longer of driving, and awkward silence, the two, now three, finally made it back home. It was big white house in a quiet neighborhood, and it was referred to as "The Loud House", by the neighbors, not just because of their name, but also because of their reputation. Lynn and Rita walked up the steps and found that the door was unlocked, leaving Lynn a little peeved...

Lynn:"We really gotta teach those girls to lock the door."

As the opened it, they saw several girls fighting. One having a light blue top and shorts, having her blonde hair in pigtails and looking at the age of 7, Lori, was in the middle of a slap fight with a 6 year old girl, Leni, wearing a seafoam green dress and sunglasses. Meanwhile, a 5 year old brunette wearing a light blue purple shirt, and skirt, Luna, was busy chasing a 4 year old light brown-haired girl in a yellow dress, Luan, who was laughing like crazy at the angry girl. Last but not least, a 3 year old girl wearing small, red and white sports jersey shirt, Lynn Jr., was on the coach, enjoying the show. This left both parents unamused, as then Lynn whistled at the girls, and the chaos came to a halt and each of them came up to their parents, front and center...

Lynn:"Normally, I would ask what is going on..."

Lori:"We're really sorry dad. But Leni wanted one of my sweaters!"

Leni:"You said I could borrow your clothes!"

Lori:"I told you my sweaters are off limits!"

Lynn:"GIRLS! Please...we have someone new with us, and we need him to feel at him."

All:"Him?"

Leni:"Who's "him"?"

It was then that Rita came in and showed what they were talking about. Lynn Jr. was still on the coach, so she couldn't see, nor did she care. But she could see that the four girls were entranced by their newest guest. The sight of the sleeping baby Lincoln made everyone of the girls' eyes glisten with delight and enjoyment...

Rita:"Girls...meet your newest little brother, Lincoln."

Lori:"Brother?"

Leni:"OMG! He's so adorable!"

Luna:"He really is!"

Luan:"Ooooh! Can I hold him?"

Leni:"Let me hold him first!"

Before the girls could get into another fight, Lynn broke it off and said that Lori may go first, since she's the oldest. The thought of having a new baby bother all of a sudden made Lori feel slightly uncomfortable about this, as she now awkwardly held the little one in her arms. But then, she looked into his eye, as did he and she then realized she would always love him. Every one of the girls got a turn at holding the baby, and they all grew to love him instantly...

Lynn:"Junior, sweetie? Wouldn't you like a turn at seeing your new baby brother?"

Lynn Jr.:"...Hmph."

Lynn:"Guess not."

Rita:"I'm sure she'll grow into it. For let's all just get to bed."

Lori:"But where's Lincoln gonna sleep?"

Leni:"Can he sleep with me?"

Luna:"How about me?"

Luan:"No, me!"

Lynn:"Enough! All of you, upstairs, now!"

With that, they went upstairs, even Lynn Junior...

Lynn:"They do have a point, though. Where is he gonna sleep?"

Rita:"We'll just have to use some of the stuff we already have."

Lynn:"Well, that's better than nothing."

Once they got things situated, both of them had a baby crib ready for their new son and Rita kissed the sleeping child on the forehead and had put him down in it...

Rita:"We'll always care for you, Lincoln. Welcome to the family."

As they left the baby to rest, Lynn could tell that Rita may have still been thinking about that baby's real mother, and it even began to concern him as well. What kind of monster would go and try to kill a woman caring for her child? A thought that needed to be put to rest, just as the two headed into their bedroom. Hopefully, some questions will be answered tomorrow. But the answer to who did try to kill the child may have already been answer. For, in the darkened night sky, within the thundering clouds, a being of light with golden wings and sword of fire saw the house below and scowled, knowing that his target rested within...
