Qrow: "Kid? I'm sorry I ever doubted you."
What lay before Qrow and Logan was the town of Kuo Kuanna. What was once a small, tightly packed town were Faunus were terrified to even expand outward was completely different. What lay before them was a much, much larger town with walls, paved streets, apartments, farms, a massive market, a similar sized dock, and much more. All around, Faunus who were once too scared to even come out of their homes, were smiling and happily working to improve their lives.
Qrow: "What happened here? Its nearly 5 times the size from when I came here before!"
Logan: "Thanks to Ghira and Sienna, the two Hunters that fought the horde was announced to the populace. And the fact that they were Human, helped shine light on the fact that not all Humans are hateful to Faunus. And the fact that they tried to have me run away while they fought to buy time to prepare for the horde. Afterwards, it was announced that Ghira and Sienna had set aside their differences to bring a better future for all Faunus, all to honor the fallen Hunters. There wasn't much left of their remains, sadly. I did manage to find and retrieve their weapons so that at least a part of them can be memorialized for future generations to give them thanks."
Qrow: "So... the entire place knows about 'That' Grimm?"
Logan: "No. Only those that know are Ghira, Sienna, My mother and Father, and I. The story is that a large horde of 200 strong appeared, consisting of many different {Grimm}. The two Human Hunters found it after I did and tired to get me to leave after I had called my father to inform him. I saw that they couldn't handle it by themselves, so I jumped in with my weapons in my hand."
Qrow: "You jumped in to a horde to help them? And what weapons? I didn't see any on you, except for that sword you found."
Logan just reached under his shirt, around the armpit, and pulled out both [Ebony & Ivory]. As Logan was leading Qrow to Ghira's home, Logan gave them a quick 180 twirl and handed them back to Qrow. Qrow was startled at the sudden movement that he did not expect. As Qrow saw that Logan was handing him his weapons, Qrow was surprised as to Hunters, their weapon was their live.
Qrow: "First off, they're a bit gaudy. But I can tell that these are made extremely well, pack a punch, and can probably knock out pretty much anyone. second, why are you so trusting with me? Most Hunters are secretive when it comes to certain things about them."
Logan: "Qrow, it's like I said. I trust my gut and its telling me that I can. Besides, if you know about 'That' Grimm, then you must work for whoever Ghira trusts."
Qrow: "Be careful kid. Don't put your trust into the wrong person. I should know, I have."
Logan: "Thank you, Qrow, for the warning. But, there are things that the only way to get through, are to rely on less then trust-worthy people. At times, its those who wish to see you fall, are the ones with your best interests at heart."
Qrow: "You sound like you know that first hand, kid."
Logan: "No. I haven't yet. But, 1 thing I do know, is that the best teachers is time, pain, and experience."
Qrow: "True words from a young kid."
Logan just smiled. He always-ed like Qrow's character, a tough, calm, and smart man that was lead to drink due to his semblance. Logan thought of all the pain and suffering that Qrow had gone through because of it.
Logan: 'If there is a way to help Qrow, I will. He deserves it. All that pain and suffering he had to go through, even I don't think I would come out any different.'
Qrow: "Looks like we're here, kid."
Qrow broke Logan's train of thought as they arrived at Ghira's house. Or formally his house. Ghira convinced Sienna that to bring about a better cohesion with all Faunus to convert part of his home to an office that helped deal with problems that came up. The once three story house was now a three story public services office.
Logan: "Not quite. Due to all the changes, Ghira now lives in a more modern two story house. The one next door. This is now the 'Public Services HQ' for the town. Any and all services like firefighting, police, agriculture help, sailing, ect. If it needs an HQ, you can find it here."
Qrow: "Huh. Neat."
Logan: "We need to be here anyway, Ghira is here. And if you laugh, I will make you dance..."
Qrow: "???"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Qrow: "HAAHAHAHHAHAHAH"
Logan: "DANCE BIRDBRAIN! DANCE!!!!!"
Azrael: "I told you that this would happen."
Ghira: "Still, I didn't think he was serious."
What Azrael and Ghira were talking about was that Logan was serious with his threat to make Qrow dance. Sophia, Sienna and Ghira's wife Kali were just watching the scene play out while drinking tea and chatting, pointing out Logan's mistakes.
They watched as Logan used his [Ebony & Ivory] to fire at Qrow's feet. Needless to say, it was as if Qrow was dancing to the beat of Logan's bullets. And for Logan's dismay, Qrow was dodging every shot with ease while dancing, just to make Logan made.
Logan was wearing the clothes that the kid smuggler had on after they made him wear prison clothes. The shorts the kid had were very short, borderline booty-shorts and were a tan color. A dark grey sleeveless top that was too short that showed off his stomach. White tub-socks and brown leather shoes. Logan looked and felt like a fool, and Qrow made sure that he knew. To make himself look as close as possible to the kid, Logan had darkened his hair with ash to be a black color.
Azrael: "Logan! That's enough! We got work to do. As much as I want to see this to the end, we got more important thing on our plate."
Logan stopped firing at Qrow, who he had pined in a corner. Logan just shook his head and walked back to Ghira and his father. Qrow, who was thankful for this, managed to calm down from laughing and got over to them. Logan still had a gleam in his eye when Qrow came over, his anger only calmed never gone.
Ghira: "From what we could gain from the smugglers, the broker, 'Kenny', will be here in an hour to receive the shipment. Apparently, they planed to use Kuo Kuana as a mid-point to move smuggled goods. The goods in question are stolen firearms, ammunition for said firearms, swords, daggers, and the sort."
Qrow: "We got a meeting place?"
Azrael: "Yes. One of the old warehouses at the pier that haven't been taken down. There, there will be a group of 'Black Fangs' ready for the signal to spring the trap to capture the broker and his minions. Qrow, your on stand-by in-case there is any surprises."
As the discussion was going on Ava, Eva, and Blake came into the room. The majority of the group didn't notice, except for Logan and Qrow. Qrow saw them and immediately got annoyed. The trio came close with their heads down and were shuffling along. Logan broke everyone out of the discussion to address the trio.
Azrael: "Girls, you know this isn't a place for you."
The girls: "We know."
Azrael: "Then why are you here?"
The trio turned towards Qrow, who they were avoiding eye contact with. The three of them looked at each other before turning their eyes to Qrow. With what could be said 'well practiced movement', the three of them bowed their heads to Qrow.
Trio: "WE'RE SORRY!"
Ava: "We didn't mean to have that bucket to fall on you!"
Blake: "That was meant for us to dump water on Logan's head!"
Eva: "Sorry..."
The group knew what they were talking about. As Logan and Qrow entered the 'PSHQ", Qrow had got hit in the head with a half full bucket of water. The trio got spooked when Qrow shouted several profanities. As he was swearing, the trio ran off before he could capture them.
Qrow: "Haa.... Listen, I ain't mad. But the next time you pull something like this, be sure of what you're doing. If that was anyone else, that could have seriously hurt them. Okay?"
Trio: "Yes, sir!"
Qrow: "Now run along. What happens in here, your too young for."
Trio: "Okay!"
As the trio ran off, Blake looked back at Logan. Wondering why he was here, what he was wearing, and why has his hair was black. But all those questions went quite when her mother, Kali, ushered her out along with them.
Kali: 'Though I do appreciate the two of them becoming her friends. I due hope that she won't get any bad habits off of them.'
