12beninator5 came to me with this idea. A part of me wants to do this, however I am a bit iffy on doing a crossover fic where one half is part of something unfinished. So as of this time, this fic is nothing more than an experiment.
I do not own the Loud House or Inside job.
(The Loud House)
We open up at the Loud House and where everything seems calm. The family was sitting down and enjoying dinner, Lori even had some time off from Fairway University and came home to spend time with the family. Lincoln looked around and smiled. It was a nice relaxing day, and nothing could ruin it. Oh, how wrong he was.
Just then the door burst open, and a bunch of armed forces came bursting into the house and soon the family was surrounded with guns pointed at all of them. The family quickly raised their hands up in surrender.
"Oddly, enough I'm more surprised this didn't happen sooner," said Lincoln to the audience.
"What is going on here?" asked Luna confused.
"Lisa, what did you do?" asked Lola.
"Why do you assume it was me?" asked Lisa.
Everyone, even the armed forces members deadpanned and looked at Lisa, who said just, "Okay, fair enough."
"However, you are wrong little genius," said a voice that was familiar to the Louds, "They are not here for you."
A man stepped in front of the armed forces. He was a middle-aged Caucasian man, with a slim build. He had grey hair, grey eyebrows, a long-pointed nose, and a large chin. He also had a small tuft of grey hair in the middle of his chest, and stubble on his face. He was wearing a red beanie, a brown and orange robe with a pink flower pattern, dark green pants with yellow streaks on both sides, and brown pajama boots.
"Uncle Rand?!/Grunkle Randy?!" shouted Rita and the Loud siblings.
"What are you doing here?" asked Lynn Sr. angrily.
"I'm here because I am tired of the torment you give this kid!" said Rand pointing to Lincoln.
"Me?!" shouted Lincoln.
"Why yes Link," said Rand, "After everything this family has put you through, I've had enough, and I am taking you to leave with me and your Aunt Regan!"
"Regan took you in?!" asked Rita in confusion.
"You'd think she would allow her dad to live on the streets?" asked Regan.
"We wished she did," said both Rita and Lynn Sr.
"Well, either way you guys aren't exactly saints," said Rand as he nodded to an armed forces member.
The armed forces member pulls out a clipboard and reads, "The April fool's day incidents, the constant explosions, loud noises, locked in rooms, destroyed house over dress and...the Luck incident!"
The Loud Family got very nervous as Rand just smiled and said, "With this list of incidents, it is in my best interest to take my great-nephew Lincoln into my care."
"You're care?!" asked Lynn Sr. angrily, "What can you do to take care of him you drunk?!"
"Better then you two could!" said Rand, "Plus Regan will be helping me."
"That's the one saving Grace in my opinion," said Rita.
"Link, it's time to go!" said Rand.
"No!" said Lincoln, "I'm not going with you!"
"Sorry kid," said one of the armed guards, "You have no choice, not with a guy like this."
"Don't worry Link, you're not coming alone," said Rand.
"What?" asked everyone, even the armed guards confused.
"Given you still have some attachment to these guys, despite what they did, I have been allowed to have you take two with you to come live with me and Regan," said Rand, "One will be my choice, the other will be yours."
"What kind of court ruling BS is that?" asked Lynn Jr.
"None of your business Steroids!" said Rand, "And just for that you're out of the choice!"
Lynn Jr. growled at that as Lily got out of her chair and ran over and hugged Lincoln's leg out of fear, as Rand saw this we said, "Well that's one."
"But Grunkle Randy-" Lincoln started before Rand interrupted, "Either you choose the last one or I do!"
Lincoln looked around and saw his older sisters' gesture towards the younger ones, as he looked at them, he saw Lisa glaring murderously at Rand, Lola and Lana holding each other close in fear and Lucy had brought up her legs and held them close like a ball.
Lincoln sighed and said, "Lucy."
Lucy perked up as the other looked at Lincoln as Rand smirked and said, "Interesting, Link care to explain your reasoning?"
"My older sisters all have places to go and friends to look after them," Lincoln began sadly with his reasoning, "Since you choose Lily to come with us, I can't choose Lana or Lola because despite their differences they are very close and separating them from each other, even to come with me, would just hurt both of them."
Rand nodded in understanding, and seemed glad by Lincoln's choice, as the Louds and even the armed forces smiled at that before Lisa interrupted and asked, "And why not choose me, elder male sibling unit?"
"Because Lisa, would even you want yourself, Aunt Regan and Grunkle Rand in the same room together?" asked Lincoln with a deadpanned look.
"Excellent deduction as usual, Link," said Rand clapping.
"I sadly have to agree with Great Uncle discarded unit," said Lisa as she adjusted her glasses, "To be honest, I would rather stay with Great Aunt Ruth then him."
"Just for that third best, that's where you're going!" said Rand angrily as Lisa just shrugged.
Rand then turned to Lori and said, "So Golfing Queen, I would recommend making some calls unless you want Flower head to look after everyone and everything here."
"This is not over Grunkle Rand!" said Lori angrily.
"You're right!" said Rand smugly, "This is just the beginning."
Rand then took Lincoln, Lucy and Lily to his car as the armed forces arrested Rita and Lynn Sr., Lori started grabbing her phone and making some phone calls to those she felt needed to know. As the car drove off Lincoln, Lucy and Lily looked back as the Loud House got further and further away.
Lincoln then looked at the audience, "So I suppose you want some context," Lincoln said, "To start this is Grunkle Rand, He's Pop Pop's older brother and a complete jerk!"
"I heard that!" said Rand, "You also better also mention how smart I am to the Fourth wall!"
"Basically, he is so smart, he makes Lisa look...dumb," said Lincoln trying to find the right word.
"I think you mean retarded!" said Rand.
"You can't say that word to the fourth wall or even with Lily in the car!" shouted Lincoln.
"I can say what I want," said Rand.
"Lincoln," Lucy sighed, "Just tell them about Aunt Regan."
Lincoln then turns to the audience and continues, "But while Pop Pop and Grunkle Rand do not get long, the same is not said for Aunt Regan and Mom. The two are inseparable, almost like sisters. Aunt Regan was even the maid of honor at Mom and Dad's wedding. Speaking of her, I do fear how she will react to all of this."
(Regan's apartment)
"DAD! WHAT THE FUCK?!" shouted Regan in rage, Lincoln and Lucy making sure to cover Lily's ears to not hear her curse, "I know Rita screwed up a bunch of time but taking three of her kids! This is a new level of low!"
The kids looked at their Aunt Regan with a look of fear on their faces. Regan was a mixed-race woman, with a slim build, short brown hair , which she tied into a ponytail, and her remaining hair parted on both sides. She had deep eye bags and messy hair, caused by sleep deprivation. Right now, she was wearing a large orange hoodie and grey sweatpants.
"Sorry Regan, but that family was driving Lincoln into the ground, and he needs to be where he can excel," said Rand.
"Excel?" asked Lincoln as he, Lucy and Lily looked confused.
Regan growled before calming down a bit and said, "Lincoln, you, Lucy and Lily can bunk in the guest room, Dad can take the couch."
Everyone waited for a reaction from Rand hearing that, but Rand said nothing, to everyone's surprise. Lincoln, Lucy and Lily even felt weirded out by this, that they went to go unpack their things in the guest room.
"Okay Dad," said Regan, "You know as well as I do, we agreed Lincoln wouldn't be offered to join Cognito inc. until he was out of high school!"
"High school is not a place for smart people," said Rand, "Plus have you seen some of the stuff Lincoln does, he made a sculpture in less than a few hours, his planning skills are over the top, dude he has Phineas and Ferb levels of BS!"
Regan looked like she was going to say more but then Rand says, "Besides everything is already in order, JR has already accepted Link as an intern, the government believes he is homeschooled and while you take him to work, I'll stay here and homeschool Lucy and Lily."
"You watch Lucy and Lily?!" asked Regan in shock, "What makes you think I will allow that to happen?!"
"You have a job, and do you think you will find a school, or even preschool, in Washington D.C. that will take those two in?" Rand said smugly.
Regan growled and said, "This is not over!"
Regan stormed off and Rand watched her leave with an evil smile on this face and thought, 'And now both of my fallback plans are under the same roof.'
Regan walked to the guest room and heard the sound of crying inside. Regan sighed and opened the door, seeing the sight of Lincoln, Lucy and Lily crying their eyes out. Regan approached them slowly, tears forming in her eyes. The kids looked up and saw Regan, they slowly approached her and held out their arms in a hug. Regan nervously approached until she had her arms wrapped around them.
"I'm sorry, I'm bad at this," said Regan.
"No, Aunt Regan," said Lucy, "We know it's Grunkle Rand's fault...and partially ours."
"Huh?" asked Regan confused.
"Grunkle Rand used certain incidents that our family did to me in order to gain custody," Lincoln admitted.
"Seriously?!" asked Regan angrily, "I get it took me a while to move on, but this is how you got here?!"
"Yeah, I know," said Lincoln as he looked at the audience, "It gets annoying after a while."
"So, how long will we be here?" asked Lucy with Lily looking sad as well.
"I don't know," said Regan, "And while Dad wants me to take Lincoln to my job for his homeschooling, I'm sorry to say you two will be homeschooled by him."
"WHAT?!" asked Lucy and Lincoln as Lily just dropped her mouth in shock.
"Why can't we get homeschooled at your workplace?" asked Lucy now fully scared.
"Lincoln is sadly the only one who meets the criteria of the place I work," said Regan sadly.
"Why just me?" asked Lincoln.
"You'll find out tomorrow when I take you there Lincoln," said Regan, "I will explain more when I get there."
Lincoln was quiet for a moment then sighed and said, "Okay Aunt Regan, I trust you."
"Okay, I'll help you guys unpack, set up a crib for Lily and then we'll get dinner started," said Regan with a sigh, 'I just hope Uncle Albert and Aunt Myrtle can do something about this.'
(Retirement Center)
While Rand was driving Lincoln, Lucy and Lily to his home in Washington D.C., then having his conversation with Regan, Lori was calling a bunch of people they knew and the first person she called was Rand's brother Albert Regan.
"Okay Lori, thanks for letting me know. Talk to you later," said Albert as he hung up the phone and shouted, "GOD DAMN IT RAND!"
"What did your brother do this time?" asked Myrtle sighing thinking it wasn't a big deal at first.
"He took Lincoln, Lucy and Lily from their family and took them to Regan's house...where he is now living!" said Albert very angrily.
"HE WHAT?!" shouted Myrtle.
"Yes, which means Rand has already made his move," said Albert sitting down and rubbing his head, "Lincoln will soon be joining-"
(Next day)
-Cognito Inc.?" asked Lincoln as he sat in the back of the car.
The next morning, after an awkward breakfast and plenty of remarks from Rand, where Lincoln had to make sure to cover Lily's ears a bunch of times. Regan took Lincoln, after some tearful cries and promise to his sisters, they were in Regan's car and going to her work.
"That is correct," said Regan, "This is what my dad wanted and knowing that scares me."
Lincoln looked at his Aunt Regan, who was now wearing a lab coat with a grey shirt underneath, green pants with a small tear just above the right knee, white sneakers, and low-cut socks. Lincoln guessed this was her work outfit.
"So, what can you tell me about this place and why does Grunkle Rand want me there?" asked Lincoln.
"Probably because of all the recent stuff you sent us," said Regan, "Especially the Scotland incident."
"And what does that have to do with your place of work?" asked Lincoln.
"You're about to find out," said Regan as they pulled into a parking lot, "Seeing is believing in this place."
As they got out of the car, Lincoln looked up at the building. It didn't seem to out of the ordinary, so Lincoln just followed Regan inside. When he entered, he saw nothing but a woman at desk, who had a soulless expression. Behind the woman was a big screen with the picture of a man with another soulless look, next to the words 'We're a company.' Lincoln also heard the loudspeaker say, "Welcome to Cognito Inc. We are a company. We are a company. We are a company."
"So, I'm guessing you guys are a company?" asked Lincoln confused.
"More than that," said Regan as she held up her badge and the 'receptionist' said, "Good morning, Dr. Regan."
Regan just walked past not even acknowledging the receptionist causing Lincoln to say, "Isn't that rude?"
"No, she's a hologram," said Regan as she demonstrated by putting her hand right through the receptionist's body.
"Oh," said Lincoln, "So I'm guessing this is a cover organization?"
"Correct," said Regan as she put her face to hole, which turned out to be a retinal scanner.
Lincoln was confused until he saw an elevator door open. Regan stepped in and ushered Lincoln to come in. Lincoln did so nervously, especially since he saw an armed forces man in the elevator as well. Lincoln stayed close to Regan as he the elevator door closed and went down.
As Lincoln looked around, he saw things that made him go wide eyed in shock. He saw an alien in a test tube surrounded by other humans and a human in a test tube surrounded by aliens.
"Aunt Regan, what was that?" asked Lincoln in shock.
"Well, you know all those conspiracies in the world?" asked Regan nervously.
"...Yes" said Lincoln sounding unsure of how to react.
The elevator door then opened as Regan said, "Well at least, I'd say 85% of them are true."
Lincoln stepped out of the elevator and saw fish people, sheep with human faces, lizard people, the machines that was used in alien 2, a bigfoot. There was a bunch for Lincoln to see and he was shocked.
"This is the Deep State, isn't it?" asked Lincoln deadpanned.
"No, we work for the Deep State," said Regan as they started walking through the building.
"So, the reason Grunkle Rand did that to my family?" asked Lincoln as they walked past what looked like Walt Disney's head.
"Yeah, we were going to wait until you graduated high school before asking if you wanted to join," Regan said with a sigh, "But I guess Dad didn't want to wait."
"Does anyone else in the family know about this?" asked Lincoln.
"Your mom and dad know, Uncle Albert and Aunt Myrtle know as well," said Regan, "And we have a suspicion that Lisa might know as well."
"Of course, she does," Lincoln sighed.
They then approached a meeting room door and Regan said, "Okay Lincoln behind this door are the members of my team, but be warned, they are all assholes in their own way."
"Thanks for the warning," said Lincoln.
They opened the door and entered the dimly lit room. Lincoln looked all over and saw four silhouettes in the room, which made him feel nervous until he heard Regan say, "How many times have I told you guys to turn on the lights?"
Regan turned on the lights, causing everyone in the room to groan, as she continued, "I told you my nephew was coming today to work as a high intern!"
Lincoln deadpanned as everyone continued moaning before Regan started the introduction. Regan approached a Korean American man with a slim build, short brown hair, and a very light mustache and goatee. He was wearing a lab coat, a pink shirt with a green tie, yellow pants, and pink crocs.
"This is Andre Lee, one of our biochemists," said Regan before whispering, "And an addict."
"You need a disease cured or made? I'm your guy!" said Andre before leaning towards Lincoln and whispering, "If you need any drugs come talk to me."
"Okay," said Lincoln weirded out.
Regan then walked up to approached what looked like a blue giant mushroom, given that is what its head looked like. The top had small sprouts on it and a purple rim around the edge. Its body was a large, translucent pod and it had six tentacles.
"This is Myc Cellium," said Regan, "He's a mushroom organism from the center of the Earth."
"Want to know why you humans are so smart?" asked Myc snobbishly, "Because you guys ate our leftovers!"
"Okay?" asked Lincoln confused and a bit grossed out, "I'm guessing you're an asshole?"
"And proud of it!" said Myc.
Regan rolled her eyes and walked to the next person. It was a cross between a human and a dolphin...who was also wearing a military uniform. Next to Myc, Lincoln considered this the weirdest thing he had seen yet.
"This is Glenn Dolphman," said Regan, "He's in charge of the company's arsenal."
"And a proud serviceman of this country!" said Glenn standing up and saluting.
"Alright, so..." Lincoln started before Myc said, "Why is he an ugly dolphin human thing? He agreed to a dolphin super solider project and now he can speak to marine life, but now looks like this as a price, though it was an improvement in my opinion."
"You sack of-" Glenn started before Regan shouted, "Moving on!"
The last person Regan approached was a black woman, with a slim and curvaceous body, and defined cheek bones. Her hair was shoulder-length, straight, black hair transitioning to maroon, curling at the end. She was also wearing maroon/purple eye shadow and a bold red/maroon lip. Her outfit was an orange-red pencil-skirt, with a matching suit jacket with the sleeves rolled up and a leopard top. She also wore gold hoop earrings, a gold plain bangle bracelet on her right arm, two gold bangle bracelets on her left arm, a gold necklace, a red shiny buckle belt and maroon platform pumps.
"This is Gigi Thompson," said Regan, "The head of our PR and Media Manipulation department."
"Hey there cute thing," said Gigi to Lincoln, "How old are you?"
"Twelve," said Lincoln blushing.
Gigi then wrote on a piece of paper and gave it to Lincoln saying, "Call me in six years if you want a good time."
Lincoln blushed as Gigi winked at him before Regan pulled her away asking, "Can you please not hit on my nephew?"
Gigi looked like she was thinking then said, "No."
Regan growled and looked like she was about to say more when a man walked into the room. He was a middle-aged man with glasses and wore a brown and gray wig. He also had a gray stripped business suit with a white shirt and a black tie.
"Okay, so where is this kid Rand got passed the screening?" he asked.
"Right here JR," said Regan before turning to Lincoln, "And Lincoln, this is J.R. Scheimpough, the CEO of Cognito Inc."
"Nice to meet you sir," said Lincoln as he held out his hand.
J.R. reached out and shook Lincoln hands and, "Yes, welcome Lincoln Loud. We have been waiting for you for a long time. Hopefully you want have a nervous breakdown like your great-uncle did.
Lincoln now sounded uneasy and said, "Right."
(Regan's lab)
After that somewhat awkward moment in the meeting room and explaining to everyone about Lincoln joining as an intern, Regan took Lincoln to her lab. Lincoln looked around but what stood out to him the most was a robot that seemed to look almost exactly like the new President of the United States.
"So, Lincoln, what do you think?" asked Regan.
"I see why you wanted until I graduated Highschool before you invited me to join," said Lincoln, "In fact, it now makes me question, why Grunkle Rand wants me hear so early."
"Maybe after everything you guys talked about in your letters and phone calls made him feel you were ready?" said Regan sounding unsure.
Lincoln thought about it and realized how much he told to Regan. They didn't realize Rand was living with her, so that means either Regan told him or once again he decided to stick his nose where it didn't belong.
"So, you want to explain why that robot looks like the President?" asked Lincoln.
"I will explain more about that later this week," said Regan, "But first I want to know what you think."
"That I want to keep my friend Zach as far away from this place as possible," said Lincoln.
"He already is," said Regan pointing to a screen that showed people messing with Zach and his parents to make sure they don't find real aliens.
Lincoln went wide-eyed, "Wow, you guys are one step ahead."
"We have to be," said Regan.
"Well since there seems to be no way out of it and because I will get to help you out, I'll join Aunt Regan," said Lincoln.
"Really?" asked Regan in shock.
"I will always help my family," said Lincoln with a smile.
"Good," said Regan before pulling out a list of files, "Now we have to show you which conspiracies are real and which ones we use as cover to distract others."
"Oh, this is going to be a long introduction day, isn't it?" asked Lincoln.
(Regan's apartment)
"Well, let's hope my other failsafe will be of good use to me," said Rand.
"What other failsafe?" asked Lucy appearing behind Rand, while holding Lily, causing him to jump in shock.
"How the fuck do you do that?!" asked Rand in shock.
"I have my ways," said Lucy covering Lily's ears, "Now what do you mean by failsafe?"
"That's for me to know Little bat and you and smart baby here to never find out," said Rand.
"So, are you even going to teach us anything?" asked Lucy.
"Here's a lesson, Life sucks!" said Rand as he took a swig of beer and walked to the living room to watch TV.
'While I am grateful Lincoln chose to have me come with him, I am scared of what is to come and what Grunkle Rand has planned,' Lucy thought to herself as she held Lily close, both looking equally nervous.
Well that's about it. What do you guys think? Should this be continued even though we may never know what was supposed to happen after episode 18? Let me know what you think.
