Aftermath

Logan stood on the deck of a ship as he watched the town of Kuo Kuana. Even as the ship sailed away, Logan could hear the roars and screeching of the Grimm. Logan could feel his heart acing as he drifted farther and farther away. Even though his system was alerting him that he had completed the first part of this mission, he could only feel the coldness of the night.

[Mission Updated! Operation: Messy House-Keeping (Rank: A)

Objective: Eliminate All that is in Kuo Kuana's maximum security prison before they escape and take hostages. Note, they have an outside helper. Eliminated: 9/9

Update! Mission: Shadows hid you... Erase any and all trace of you escape. Complete 0/1]

Logan just sighed as he turned away from the town. As he was on board a smuggler's ship, he wasn't worried about covering his tracks. He had already made sure that this bunch of low lives were the worst of the worst and that they only worshiped money. And right now, his destination was the island of Patch. Home of Taiyang Xiao Long, Qrow Branwen, Yang Xiao Long, and Ruby Rose.

Logan: 'I just hope that Tokage will handle what I asked her to do. Ghira and Sienna should be able to handle what Grimm came. My only issue is that Ava, Blake, and Eva can handle my disappearance. They're just kids, I'm not. I just hope that they can handle the lose of someone that they care about.' Logan thought.

As his mind was wondering, his body acted on auto-pilot. Moving without sound as he made his way to his cabin. About half way to his cabin, he unconsciously stopped at an intersection with a hall that had a blown out light. Ducking in, he hid himself in the shadows. Not even a minute later, several smugglers were rushing past him, all had looks of greed in their eyes. All heading to his cabin. Sighing for what he felt was the hundredth time to day, he activated his [Aura Pulse] and followed them quietly. Not much later, he and the thugs were in front of his door.

Thug 1: "Hey, is it true? That the 'passenger' left his stuff in there?"

Thug 2: "Yea, the camera's confirmed it. The dumbass is going to lose his shit and then be auctioned off to the highest bidder. I call dibs on his bow!"

Thug 3 & 4: "Get in line!/ First come first serve!"

Logan: 'Great. They're idiots. This is gonna be one long ride.'

=========================================

A few days have gone by ever since the 'Prison Break' happened. Ghira and Sienna had been working over time ever since then. Ghira being the voice of reason and calming, keeping the population from freaking out. While Sienna worked behind the scenes to find any traces of who organized the breakout in the first place. So far nothing had come up. And both of them were at their wits end about it.

Sienna: "It's been three days since then. The 'Black Fangs' have been working nonstop for those days, they need a break."

Ghira: "Your completely right that they do deserve one, but until there is any clear evidence of what happened there, the people will worry. And the last thing we need is fear ruling the streets. We both know what it was like the last time."

Sienna: "I understand. But they need this now. We've already had three drop from overexertion. And moral is at an all time low. A good meal and some decent sleep will do more good then bad."

Ghira: "I'm so-" Ghira was interrupted by a knock on the door. With a look at Sienna, they both silently agreed to see what it was. "Enter!"

The ones that enter surprised the two of them. One was Azrael, a trusted friend of theirs. The other was an attractive woman they haven't meet before. It was Azrael that spoke first after a simple greeting while bearing tea for the four of them. After setting them out and taking their seats, Azrael spoke.

Azrael: "Pardon the intrusion."

Ghira/Sienna: "It's fine/ No problem."

Ghira: "What do we owe the pleasure for your arrival?"

???: "Cut the crap. This ain't a social visit."

Azrael: "She's right. And sorry for her bad mouth" Azrael replied while dodging a punch to his arm. "We heard about the attempted breakout. Any news?"

Sienna: "None, I'm afraid. We haven't had much luck."

Azrael: "I see... I think that we might be able to shed some light on this."

Ghira: "What happened?"

???: "That brat happened."

Sienna: "Azrael, as much as I trust you, who is this?"

Ghira: "I would like to know as well."

Azrael: "This is-"

Tokage: "Name's Tokage. Tokage Marron. I'm a smith."

Azrael: "*Cough* Tokage here is someone that took care of Logan when he was younger-"

Tokage: "Other way around, Jackass. He took care of me. Weirdly enough."

Sienna: "I like her." Sienna said to Ghira, who was put off by her brash way of speaking. Sienna accepted her right away.

Ghira: "Anyway. What's this have to do with Logan? Was he hurt or?"

Tokage: "HAHAHA! Him? Get hurt!? Unless you throw an army at him, nothing is gonna stop him!"

Azrael: "*sigh* He disappeared."

Ghira/Sienna: "What!?"

Tokage: "No, ya dumbass! He left for ya sake!"

Both Ghira and Sienna could have had question marks above their heads and it would have been seen as normal. After a prod from Azrael to Tokage, Azrael clarified.

Azrael: "As you both know, Sophia and I adopted Logan after I found him in the woods, abandoned. All that was on him was a note that spoke about how his father had many, many enemies. Far too many for him to out run from as they caught up to him. He made the decision to leave Logan and tried to fight them on his own. He never returned and I could never find any trace of him or his pursuers."

Sienna: "Yes, we know. But how is this related to Logan?"

Tokage: "Well, here's the thing. Before the whole, 'Make Kuo Kuana Great!' shit when down. That brat managed to make some less then 'clean' friends. Ones that like to move goods."

Ghira/Sienna: "Smugglers."

Tokage: "Yea, them. Tho these ones were moving goods for Faunus and the island. He helped them by finding a middle man that would sell the stuff for them and cheaply."

Sienna: "I've had suspicions about a few merchants, but that just confirmed it. Thank you."

Tokage: "No problem. Just treat me to a drink." This earned her a smack to the head by Azrael. Getting the message, she continued. "Anyway, as thanks, they became his information broker."

Ghira: "The point?" Ghira asked as he had too much paper work to deal with because of what happened.

Tokage: "Point is, he knew that something would happen. Just not the scale of it. I could tell that he would try ta hamper it at all cost."

Ghira: "How much?" Ghira's voice with lined with anger. Sienna wasn't any better.

Tokage: "The most he knew, it was gonna be bloody. And he was gonna make enemies, a lot of 'em. He left to draw them away from here. He only found out a few days before it happened."

Both Ghira and Sienna were doing their best to think rationally about the news. After taking a few deep breaths, Sienna was the first to recover.

Sienna: "To think, he hampered it. We lost close to 80 people in the prison alone. Repelling the Grimm took a few as well. I can't imagine what would have happened if he hadn't."

Ghira didn't say much. He then stood up, catching the three of them off guard. He then walked over to a cabinet, opening one door and removing a bottle. Needless to say, it was appropriate now more then ever. Ghira then poured some of the contents of the bottle into everyone's cup.

Ghira: "It's whiskey. I think we all need some."

The rest: "Agreed." As they all took and drained their cups.

Ghira: "Anything else we need to know?"

Tokage: "He left some gifts."

Sienna: "Well, at least he kind enough to give out apology gifts."

Azrael: "Well, they're for Ava, Blake, and Eva."

Ghira: "Huh?" Ghria was confused about the reason why, while Sienna was curious.

Azrael: "From what the twins told me, Blake is planing to be a Huntress, right?"

Ghira: "Yea, she just started her personal weapon design about a month ago. She only finished her design about eight days ago."

Tokage: "I'll take it from here. That brat saw what she was making and planed ahead for it. He gave me a rough copy of what he could remember."

Sienna: "That's not surprising, Logan's mind is extremely sharp for his age. And for the twins?"

Tokage: "The brat called in a favor with me. The twin pistols he had, 'Ebony and Ivory' as he called them. He had me modify them for the girls. I have ta say tho, those are some well designed handguns. It took me three days to finish them for the girls. I still have ta look at the plan your kid made tho."

Ghira: "Logan, just what are you up to that you can't call on friends for help?" Ghira wonder out loud after he heard Tokage talk. Saying the unspoken question on everyone's mind. Silence over took the small group as they all pondered what goes through Logan's mind and what he's facing.

======================================

Logan could be seen flying through the air towards the island of Patch. His ash grey wings are a stark contrast to the brilliant blue sky. A black duffel bag tied off on his back contained most of his earthly possessions. As he neared the harbor's docks, Logan could make out the outline of a familiar person in a grey shirt. Smiling to himself, Logan descended down to the dock to greet his old friend. Touching down, Logan greeted the man before him.

Logan: "Hey, Qrow. Long time no see!"

Qrow: "It's been a few months, hasn't it. What's brings ya this far from Menagerie? It can't be just because you missed little old me, is it?"

Logan: "*sign* No." a small smile on his face and a slight giggle escaped his lips.

Qrow: "Well, what happened? All I got was that you needed a place to stay." Qrow asked as he started to walk with Logan following him.

Logan: "A lot. Quite a lot."

Qrow: "Hey, I got time."

Logan: "Thanks, but first things first. I need some place to rest. I've been flying for the last four hours. The ship I was on was ordered to return to port for some odd reason."

Qrow: "How fast can you fly, kid?"

Logan: "With a good tail wind, just about 40 miles per hour. It was around 200 miles that I flew."

Qrow: "*Whistle* Damn kid, that's some distance." Qrow was surprised that Logan could fly that far. "Still though, you okay after flying that far?"

Logan: "Just tired and drained of aura. I nearly ran out."

Qrow: "Well take it easy for now. I've talked to my brother-in-law about letting you barrow a room. Once we get there, you can rest till his kids get back from school. I'll warn ya now, they're a handful."

Logan: "Qrow, you've met my sisters. How back could they be?"

Qrow: "Kid, you got twin sisters that love to play pranks. He's got one that loves puns and the other one is hyperactive. Hell, even I have trouble with them. And I'm a hunter."

Logan just laughed as he had an idea of what to expect with Ruby and Yang. They made small talk all the way to Ty's house. Mainly about this and that, mostly random stuff. Then Qrow notice that Logan was missing his handguns.

Qrow: "Hey, kid. What happened to those hand cannons you had? I figured you wouldn't leave those behind." Qrow said as he examined Logan who was in a tight sleeveless shirt.

Logan: "Like I said, Qrow. A lot of things happened."
