Prologue 3: A Talk and a bit of trouble
(Logan POV)
You looked at the young man and sighed as you pointed at the curb and sat down.
Shinji for his part took the hint and followed you as you sat down.
"Why the hell are you even doing this?" It was a sort of question that was both rhetorical and genuine at the same time. The sort of question that everyone wanted to actually answer.
He was quiet as you failed to get a really good look at his face under the scarf and the heavy jacket. "I help people, isn't that enough of a reason?"
You shrugged as the thought went through your head in a clear and notable way and then you went to another more obvious answer. "Not a good enough one for the courts. I mean we'll likely let you off on a misdemeanor if this was your first run, and knowing you it isn't but they don't need to know that."
He scoffed. "You enjoy bucking authority don't you?"
"Due process has its place, kid...but sometimes you need to move the wheel of Justice on your own time to make it work. I've been in your boots long enough to simply let something off when it's not worth it." You said not even trying to find out what his face looked like at this point.
He seemed in part relieved and still slightly on edge. "I'm...doing this for entirely personal reasons."
So he was finally going to give you an answer. "What personal reasons would you have in being a vigilante?"
"Guilt…" He said.
Wait...guilt...he wasn't one of those...quirk using criminals who grew a conscience after a dark heinous act? The ones that think their unstoppable and righteous but ruined everything in a single day?
"I don't follow?" You said.
"I was...in the MLA's Ecoterrorist department." He said.
"The Meta Liberation Army? I thought they were driven into Cells after Destro committed suicide?"
"Hence the Eco Terrorisim department...I've been trying to hunt them down ever since they abandoned me in Mt. Fuji operation about 3 years ago? Pieces of a HOUSE started falling form the sky and they left me for dead...and in doing so I realized how much of an idiot I was and ruined so many lives so guilt." He said.
Wait...that might have been...wait, Yu lived in the country and destroyed her house at least 4 times...and-.
Heh...well this is interesting.
"Oh...well I wish you good luck in actually finding and dismantling them?" You said standing up.
"Your not going to arrest me...or even make me you know file a report or turn myself in?" He said.
"Not how I operate...I let people make their own mistakes and learn, plus I'm not going to stop a man from getting revenge on parents who ruined their life for cold and arbitrary reasons." You said.
"And who am I to get in the way of that." You finished.
That made Shinji look in surprise. "Your going to let me go...to continue some mad quest to fight a terror group with my Arbor powers because I see it as the right thing to do?"
"Who am I to get in the way of a man's desire for justice and or revenge. This is your business not mine. Though as a precaution-" You then stopped and handed him a card.
"Take it and call if you need me?" You said.
Shinji looked at the card and put it in a wallet. "Azurewing? Why are you even doing this? This goes against Hero Society. And your completely okay with it."
"Kid when I was your age I've already been to five countries, killed at least 30 people for the government and won and lost a fortune in Platinum ore...what you're doing isn't anything special in my eyes. Good Luck though." You said.
Then you were gone, tired and knowing that somehow that kid was going to turn out alright.
You just knew it.
Reward: Information on Shinji Nishiya acquired for off the record activity. He may contact you in a few turns.
You like the Cut of his cloth...reminds you of yourself.
-----------------------------------------------
You kicked off your boots and crawled over to the couch.
"Ba." A small black puddle said as you looked around the floor. Ah there she is?
"Anna, what did we say about being a puddle...its a safety hazard."
"Ba Ba...ABA." It vibrated.
"I don't have time for this Anna, get back to normal." You said not even looking as she then put hands on the couch to both pull herself up and reform herself. At least she remembered to keep her jamies on when reforming.
Once was funny, twice was hilarious and three times was just embarrassing photo blackmail.
You then put her on top of you and looked at her. "Yeah dads home early."
She sneezed a bit and then laid on top of you. "Hey don't get too cozy, don't want to scrape you off the uniform again."
Taylor was making shadow puppets, taking little cars and making them fly. And above all being a kid.
Eva was napping on the other side of the room in a pillow fort that you knew couldn't stop the onslaught of hurricane Anna's tsunami slime attack.
And Yu was unconscious on the floor of her room too tired to really climb in after knowing training was not on the menu for a few days.
All was right in the world...now lets see if Sarah was coming home?
Sarah Luck of the Draw:1D100 => 22
Your phone beeped as a Text from Sarah came into view.
Logan…
As it turns out the Case with Money Laundering is MUCH bigger than I thought and I'm going to be government contracting for a few days in Kyoto as a result.
I'm sorry that I had to leave today even though I said I wouldn't, just make sure the formula is restocked, give Yu a break and try not to antagonize the other Heroes in the City while I'm gone.
And Don't let Anna cling to people again...she made it all the way to Juban without us noticing….so don't let it happen again.
Keep Taylor from using her Shadows to put things in her mouth again and Keep Eva from doing things like climbing to the top of the fridge again.
Other then that….I'll be home when I can.
Love you.
Oh no...you and Yu were alone with the Kids for a few days.
"Yu...when you wake up know that your break has been extended for the foreseeable future." You said firmly.
"Yay!" She deadpanned into the pillow just loud enough to be heard by you.
----------------------------------------
It was going to be one of THOSE days wasn't it?
Well lets make sure that they don't destroy the house.
Prologue Completed.
