Logan stood by on a wooden dock waiting for a signal from the broker 'Kenny'. So far it had been an hour and an half that Logan had just been waiting. No movement nor sound was heard that wasn't from Logan wandering back and forth. Before the mission was started, Logan had observed the kid smuggler to learn his habits, and so far Logan couldn't be distinguished from the original. Finally, after nearly two hours of waiting, a group of five arrived at the old warehouse.
???1 (Female): "Good, your here."
???2 (Male): "Where's the rest?"
???3 (Female): "Doesn't matter, does it?"
???1 (Female): "Yes, they still had some use."
Logan: "Good to see ya too." (different pitched voice)
???4 (Feral?): "Grrr..."
???5 (Male): "He says that Joey seems off."
Logan (Joey): "Yea, you would too if you were nearly R**** BY SOME DRUNK FOOLS! THANKS FOR TELLING ME THAT THEY WENT BOTH WAYS!"
This surprised the group of figures, allowing Logan to get a better look at them. The one leading them is a woman of average height with short auburn hair and green eyes. The man and woman who talked second and third were both dark skinned and dark colored hair. The two looked related but not twins, the man has a sharp face and brown eyes while the girl had striking blues and soft facial curves. The last two were both men; one wore a suit and sunglasses even at night and the other one looks like a caveman, loincloth and all. The weird thing is it was the one in the suit that growled and the one in the loincloth sounded like a refined gentleman.
Logan (Joey): "Be glad that they won't be a problem anymore."
Caveman: "May I ask what you mean by that? They still have their use, after-all."
Logan (Joey): "Simple. They got drunk and wanted to have some 'fun'. Ended up getting the drop om me. To make matters worse, they kidnapped three girls."
Female3: "If it was just that, why would you get rid of them?"
Male1: "I'm guessing that the problem was with who they kidnapped."
Female1: "Who were those girls?"
Caveman: "I'm guessing they were related to some very important people in the town."
Logan (Joey): "One was Ghira's daughter. And the other two were twins that belonged to some guy named 'Azrael' I think? I'm not fully sure, I got out before I was found."
Feral: "GRRRR!"
Caveman: "Joey, are you positive that's the name you heard? We know your new, but that name is taboo to us."
As Logan looked at the group with caution, he found that a few of them shook. It was as if his father's name was as if death itself was coming for them. The fear was clearly evident in their eyes.
Logan (Joey): "Haa... Let's get this done. If I'm wrong, I wrong. If I'm right, then we get this done and we get out of here. I rather not be here myself."
Female1: "He's right. The less time this takes, the better. None of us wants to meet that devil again. We get this done and get out of here."
All: "Agreed/Yea/Grrr!"
Female1: "Good! Joey, where's the shipment?"
Logan (Joey): "Inside. But before that, why Kenny? I mean, who is Kenny?"
Female3: "Past boy-toy. Great at massages."
Male1: "Died to a random arrow to the throat. I yelled 'You killed Kenny! You B*****d!' Somehow it was funny. I have his skull somewhere."
Logan (Joey): "That's F***ed up. On so many levels."
The Rest: "We know/Grrr."
Logan just shook his head. Then lead them into the ambush that the 'Black Fangs' and Qrow. As the group and Logan entered inside the warehouse, their first sight was that it was very ran down. It was almost completely empty except for a few crates and a table and chairs. Logan walked over to the table with the female leader while the rest when over to check over the shipment.
Logan (Joey): "Here's the shipping manifest. Everything should be there, I was busy not trying to hurl while I was with them. (Shutters) Needless to say, I never got to do a complete look over."
Female1: "Understandable. I probably kill them if I were you."
Caveman: "Linzay! Everything is here Ma'am!"
Linzay: "Good work, Confa. Hora, Temis, Gora, help Confa loading the shipment! I want no B****ing! Get moving!"
Group: "Understood/Grrr!"
Linzay: "Now about your payment-"
As Logan and Linzay were discussing payment for the shipment, a loud explosion rang from the crates. As soon as the group that was handling the boxes stood unsteadily, the 'Black Fangs' broke in and quickly surrounded everyone. The suit-wearing feral, Temis, roared and tried to tackle one of the 'Black Fangs' member. As Temis grabbed the 'Black Fang', a second one came from behind and smack Temis in the back of the head with a high-voltage stun-baton. Logan had graciously provided them with the blue-prints for them and stun-guns. With out much hassle, the rest of the group was detained with ease. Logan and Linzay had tried to make a run for it, they got as far as the outside immediately after the door. In front if them stood Qrow, Ghira, and Azrael.
Qrow: "Well, would you look at that! Seems we've got some rats scurrying around."
Azrael: "Qrow, now's not the times for jokes."
Ghira: "Come on. It at least derisive a smirk."
Azrael: "I'll never understand you obsessive love of corny jokes."
As Azrael said this, he shook his head. While Ghira and Qrow had a slight smile on their faces. Linzay was currently shaking, with fear of hatred, Logan couldn't tell. After a bit, Azrael looked to Linzay.
Azrael: "Now then, what will you do? Currently your group of misfits is subdued and you are all alone. No one is coming to help you. Not your backers, or your bosses."
Linzay: "I'm far from alone. We-"
As Azrael was talking, Logan quietly undid his ash that was covering his body making his skin darker. As Linzay began to shout, Logan turned his ash into a short-sword and pulled [Ebony] from its tattoo storage. With a simple poke, Logan silenced Linzay without much issue.
Linzay: "Joey... I thought you were a good kid. I could have seen you going far. So why have you betrayed me?"
Logan: "Sorry, the real Joey was caught as soon as the ship he was on entered the harbor."
Linzay: "I see. Question, how old are you?"
Logan: "Almost 11. Why?"
Linzay: "HAHAHA... Sorry... The funny thing is, Joey is almost 23. I bet he's raving mad that a kid impersonated him."
Azrael: "His was, he got over. But the thing is, he had a request."
Linzay: "Funny, so do I."
Ghira: "Logan, head to my home. Let my wife know that everything went okay along with my daughter please. You, Az, and Qrow can spend the night."
Logan: "Thank you, I'll take you up on that offer."
Logan walked off after the group of smugglers were cuffed and not a threat. To the 'Black Fangs' and the rest, this was quite easy, but to Logan, this was a far, far more stressful then it seemed. And anyone who saw Logan walk off could tell that it was hard on him.
Ghira: "All right everyone! Let's get these guys back to the HQ! We need answers and they will give them to us!"
Black Fangs: "Yes, Sir!"
Ghira: "Good! Let's move!"
As they were moving the prisoners, Ghira held back an 'Black Fang' member and had her run to Sienna ad report what happened. Ghira even knew that Sienna would want an update on the mission. Success or not, she would want to know.
Qrow: "Ghira! Azrael! We need to talk."
Ghira: "What's there to talk about? From my perspective, everything went well.
Azrael: "I agree. This went extremely well. Even Logan played his part perfectly."
Qrow: "That's my point. From the way Logan acted, it seemed like he has done this countless times already. From the way he acted, to me it was as if I was watching a seasoned veteran following along. Even when that woman ran with the intention of escaping, Logan followed a second later with the intention to follow her. Even to me it looked like he was escaping as well. If I didn't know that it was him, I would have dropped him with her."
Ghira: "I... I hate to admit it, but he's right Azrael."
Azrael: "I know. Even I do question at times his real self. At times, he sounds and acts like a man who spent his life fighting. Others, he's no more then a kid trying to find his way in life. I will admit that I do have trouble teaching him."
Ghira: "How does he usually learn? By books or by doing?"
Qrow: "You think that's where we should start to look?"
Azrael: "Actually, its quite different from what you expect. He learns by listening. He told me that the best way to learn is by listening. I thought it was odd at first. I gave him a small packet of papers with problems written on it. In less then 10 minutes, and he finished it with no trouble."
Qrow: "So far, so good... I think?"
Ghira: "I don't think that's the end of it."
Azrael: "I don't blame you for thinking that. Most of those questions I gave him were very hard for even collage level graduates. Yet, not a single one was wrong in any way. Hell, he even corrected some of the questions I made a mistake on."
Qrow: "Okay... That is far beyond just listening and learning. I'm probably going to regret this, but, anything else?"
Azrael: "Well... As you saw, Kuo Kuana is in the mist of being rebuilt and strengthen. Most of it was all Logan's Ideas. I helped where there were issues that would pop up. From there, I never really helped at all with them. I would, now and then, ask how they were going. Never really had to do much except ask about different possibilities that could happen. Needless to say, he had a counter for quite a bit."
Qrow just gave Azrael a cold hard stare before just walking off to sit on a nearby crate. After sitting down, Qrow proceeded to put his face in his hands. A bit after, Qrow went for his hip flask to drain the whole thing in one go, but couldn't find it. Both Ghira and Azrael were somewhat surprised at his antics, but were worried enough to see if he was okay.
Azrael: "Hey, Qrow? You okay?"
Qrow: "What do you think? I just found out that a kid I just met is some sort of super genius. And that he is as skilled as he is smart."
Ghira: "I know that it's surprising that he is like that. But he means to do good by others."
Qrow: "Surprising is an understatement. And I can tell he means good and all. But..."
Azrael: "But what?"
Qrow: "Ahh hell. Logan might hate me for it, but you guys need to know."
Ghira: "What?"
Azrael: "If it was something important, Logan would tell us."
Qrow: "Those two Hunters... The ones that battled at horde..."
Ghira: "Jade and Reaper."
Qrow: "Yea, them... They had a child. A little girl."
Both: "We know..."
Qrow: "Do you know what happened to her?"
Azrael: "No."
Ghira: "We have a rough description of her. Pale skinned, tri-color hair; Pink and Brown with white highlights in the pink. That's it."
Qrow: "Well, Logan managed to find someone that matched her description. A girl called Neo, short for Neopolitan. I didn't inclined as to how, but what he found was... Haunting."
Azrael: "Tell us."
Qrow: "Where to began?"
Ghira: "At the beginning."
Qrow: "Not long after she was born, the two had to leave her with some trusted friends. Logan couldn't find out why, but that's not important. As she-"
At this point, Qrow was interrupted as Ghira's scroll was receiving a call. Qrow glared at Ghira as he gave a coy smile as he checked his scroll. His coy smile quickly turned into a frown as he saw who was calling.
Ghira: "It's Logan. Odd, why would he be calling me?"
Azrael: "I'm not sure. Put it on speaker and let us hear it."
As Azrael said this, Qrow nodded in agreement. Ghira just shrugged and did it anyways. As the call connected and was on speaker, what they heard was not what they were expecting.
Ghira: "Hello-"
Logan: "HELP ME!!!"
