Logan now finished telling his Grandfather on what happened to him after he was forced to leave his family completely shocked Albert he had no words to describe how much it hurts to listen how much his Grandson suffered all those years ago but it wasn't painful enough to stop him from being joyful on whatever reason he had left Logan finally returned to his home.
(Albert will be Pop-pop from now on)
Pop-pop: I have no idea Logan I knew you had your reason to leave your family and I also know you are strong enough to survive on your own but even so I didn't know how much you've suffered all these years.
Logan: Pop-pop it's okay I-
Pop-pop: No! It's not Logan I also believed that you just left without a reason from the beginning but sooner, I then realized you had your reason and I was a fool for not trusting you back then when your family kept saying that you couldn't take it anymore with their awful behavior and annoying requests even though I told them that wasn't why you left a part of me also believed them and I regret ever doing so.
Logan: Pop-pop please I might have been annoyed at them in the past at some point but I loved them too much to ever think about hating them and I still do and I'm sorry I can't explain the exact reason why I left but sooner or later I'll tell you cause you're the one I trust the most right now.
Pop-pop: Rest assured kid I'll be waiting but until then take your time, Although I would like to know more of what you've been up to aren't you wasting your time here cause I think there are some people who you have a long-overdue reunion with.
Logan: *Sighs* Yeah I know I'm just hoping they'll understand and I get it if they won't forgive me for what I did cause whatever the reason why I left was no excuse of suddenly abandoning them and the truth is I'm scared.
Pop-pop: How come' Logan, What are you feeling scared about?
Logan: I'm scared of thinking that they will never forgive me even though I am prepared for it, It still scares me knowing I became distant from them and the distance only gets further and further and what daunts me the most is the thought of them moving on forgetting me, Maybe it's for the best if they do I no longer deserve to be a part of the family again-
*Slams*
Just before Logan continued with his mindless banter he sees Pop-pop slamming the table with his fist snapping Logan from his thoughts before saying...
Pop-pop: Logan let me tell in all those years you left I never stopped hoping you would return and yet here you are and also over the years as you went missing not once ever came a day that your family stopped thinking about you.
Pop-pop grabs Logan's shoulders and stared him eye to eye.
Pop-pop: You may have given up the thought of going back to your family but they never did ever since you left they never stopped believing that you would return that you would come back to them and all that happened would just be a terrible dream but No! You did leave and they were disheartened when you left but of all the thing that happened we never gave up hope so I ask you are you willing to leave them always wondering, always praying, always hoping that you would return and you never will or are you finally coming back, back to your home, and back to your family, So what's it gonna be Logan? The choice is yours.
Pop-pops' words finally made Logan realized what he should do as his fear has now been replaced with confidence.
Logan: (Grins) Heh, Of course, the choice is obvious, (Stands Up) Thanks again Pop-pop (Hugs Albert)
Albert: (Hugs Back) Anytime Logan, Now go and return home Logan Be "The One Who Returned The Loudest" (Pats Logan Back).
Logan: I will, Bye Albert I'll see you again after I resolve this problem of mine.
Pop-pop: I'll be waiting, kid.
Just before Logan walks out the door Pop-pop called him out to tell him something.
Pop-pop: Oh by the way there is a surprise waiting for you when you get back!
Logan: Surprise? What kind?
Pop-pop: You'll see Logan but I should warn you it's a big one.
Logan: *Snickers* Whatever you say Pop-pop, (Opens the door) I'm going now.
Pop-pop: Say Hi to the family for me!
Logan: Will do! (Closes the door).
Logan left 'Sunset Canyon' and went back to his motorcycle before heading off to his next destination his home 'The Loud House'.
______________________________________________
Not a minute passed after he left the retirement home he already started to become nervous, His hands began sweating and shaking almost making him crash towards a sign as he was about to he decided to stop and get off for a moment to relieve his stress and while he did he noticed he was at the Royal Woods Cemetery.
He thought about it for a moment before deciding to head inside to relax his head after a while he slowly began to calm himself down and then started to go back to his motorcycle but just before he leaves he noticed in the distance a little girl sitting on the brick walls surrounding the cemetery, Logan decided to see why a little girl like her went somewhere as secluded as this place.
While Logan slowly marched towards the girl he saw what the girl looked like she looked like she was 8-Years Old with Slender, very pale skin, long black hair that conceals her eyes, a small gap between her teeth, a striped shirt with a black dress over the shirt, striped leggings, and black shoes.
Logan finally came close enough and also sat down next to her before asking.
Logan: Hello.
She looked up and was met with a stranger whom was introducing himself to her.
Logan: The name's Logan, what's yours?
Logan took out his hand offering to shake with the little girl who spoke back with a gloomy monotone voice.
Lucy: Sigh, Hello Mister Logan my name's Lucy please to meet you.
Logan and Lucy shake hands.
Logan: So why is a little girl like you in a dark and scary place like this?
Lucy: I like hanging out in dark places it reminds me of the void within my broken heart.
Logan: Okay? Uh, why does your heartbreaks and the reason for it?
Lucy: A conflict between siblings my sister is just too much to handle sometimes.
Logan: Oh, I see but why do her actions affect your own, Even sibling rivalry benefits more to their relationship than one can think.
Lucy: How so?
Logan: Because don't you know in a relationship the more they fight the closer they are, the more they argue about something is a chance for them to learn about each other better, Rather than wallowing in your woes isn't it better to resolve the conflict between you guys so your sister can also be understanding knowing how you understood her.
Lucy thought about it for a moment and realized Logan was right.
Lucy: Yeah I guess your right thanks Mister you've been a great help but how do you know so much, do you have siblings too?
Logan thought about it for a moment before saying...
Logan: I used to but for unforgivable reasons, I left them years ago when I was a child and now I was planning to see them again but I'm afraid, In all my years of running I thought I lost this feeling but I guess not and now It pains me to think that they moved on without me and I guess I kinda deserve it too.
Lucy somehow felt Logan's pain and tried to comfort him Lucy tries to hug Logan but because of the height difference she only managed to hug his knees so Logan bent down to hug her evenly, Lucy felt something different when the mysterious man hugged her back she felt safer and it feels like she was home in his embrace as he also did to her. They soon broke apart and Lucy told the man what she learned from him.
Lucy: Mister I think you also need to resolve your problems with your sisters cause from what you told me I think they miss you a lot the same as you do to them.
Logan: (Chuckles) Yeah I guess your right thanks, Lucy.
Lucy: Don't worry about it Mister you also did the same for me now I guess I should be going home so I can also fix the feud between my sister and me.
Logan and Lucy bid farewell and went their separate ways.
Logan's Mind: What a nice little girl hope she and her sister would make up, now I guess it's time I did too.
Logan then returned to his motorcycle and now with his confidence, he drove off determined to go home at last with no more interruptions.
Time Skip
Logan is now driving pass his old neighborhood he observed the houses both old and new in the block and he recognizes a few and in the distance, he can finally see it the home he left behind as a child the family he once removed from his life and the sisters he abandoned before.
Not much has changed since he was gone, there were still a bunch of toys laid across the yard with some on the roof of the house...
Logan's Mind: Seriously! No one ever bothered to get those things down?
He chuckled at the thought that his old home still remained the same even after his departure, but then remembered his purpose for being here.
He was nervous again he began feeling anxious about what's to come but what he learned from coming here from all the people who helped him is that he needs confidence and to believe in himself because if he always remains as is he will never be whole again.
It took him a good few minutes before finally getting off his motorcycle but then he suddenly heard his phone ringing from his pocket and he sees the caller was his Agent.
Logan: (Picks Up) Hello?
Agent: (Answers) Hello Sir, I'm calling about the house and lot you are inquiring and the seller approves of your proposal. The one near 1216 Franklin Avenue is that correct Sir?
Logan: Yes that's perfect, Oh and also can you call someone to transfer my belongings from the depot and also hand them my security key. I'll allow the access so long as you supervise them.
Agent: Of course Mr. Logan, is there anything else I can help you with Sir.
Logan: No, that's all for now but I'll call you again when I do and also don't cause such a ruckus when moving that'll be all.
Agent: Very well Sir I await your next patronage It's a pleasure to be working for you farewell Mr. Loud.
Logan: Likewise see you soon (Hangs Up).
Logan's Mind: I guess it's time.
Logan removes his mask and gloves while he slowly marched unto the pavement towards his old house as he does his thoughts began flooding his mind but he just shrugged them off knowing that this was one moment he couldn't mess up.
After years on the run he met different friends and fought dangerous people he also lost valuable comrades along the way and he was different than most people as he was said to have lost his emotions and became stoic but what does it apply to now as he finally removed all the nervousness and anxiety built up inside him because what he hates most is showing weakness even towards his family and now he was about to knock on the door as he already arrived on the footsteps of his old home.
Logan's Mind: Be brave Logan what happens now will happen and you must stay strong on whatever does happen.
Logan: *Knocks*
As Logan knocked on the door he heard an all too familiar voice he recognized it as his Mom Rita Loud yelling...
Rita: Lori can you get the door I'm doing the taxes right now sweetie!
Logan's Mind: Oh great out of all of my sisters it had to be her the one whom I spent the most time with well I guess I better prepare for the worst both mentally and physically.
Lori: Lincoln you get it I'm busy calling Bobby.
Logan's Mind: Bobby?! Isn't that the kid who had a major crush on Lori who she was also crushing on back then too? Well, I guess they got together in the end not that I have anything to say in it... Wait a minute?... Who's Lincoln? Come to think of it the house seemed livelier and louder than usual.
While Logan was in his thoughts the door opened revealing what appears to be an 11-Year Old boy wearing an orange polo shirt, blue jeans, gray socks with blue and red stripes, and white sports shoes with red stripes, having freckles on both cheeks and similar to Logan also has snow-white hair but he also had a turkey tail sticking out.
Lincoln observes the tall man with noticeable features but what appealed to him the most was his Snow-white hair similar to his own being unknown to who this individual is the man said...
Logan: Um, yes hello this is the Loud residence right? Is there a Rita Loud in here?
Lincoln: Mom! Someone is looking for you at the door and do you know anyone else with white hair.
Logan's Mind: Mom?!?
Then a woman wearing a pink buttoned shirt with a white collar and cuffs, and purple pants appears. She has big blonde hair and white earrings. She also wears blue eye shadow and red lipstick, while wearing black low tops.
Rita: Well there's only you, your Grandfather Pop-pop and-
Rita saw the Individual standing by the door her eyes widened and she dropped the papers she was holding from the shock as she spectated the tall rugged man he was unfamiliar to Rita at first until she saw his familiar snow-white hair and the most unique eyes she was flabbergasted at who the person standing right by the door was until she said with a frail voice...
Rita: Lo-Logan is that you...(Tearing up)
Logan: Hey Mom, It's been a while... hasn't it?
