Stay Out Of My Way (Scogan)

You Are Who I Want

What the fuck was he doing here? Out of all places and times, why was he here?! Logan was loss of words, staring up at the blonde man while Scott on the other hand stared with shock written all over his face.

''Homelander, nice to finally meet you.'' Scott held his hand out for the man to shake, blondie put on a fake smile and took it in his gloved hand.

''Pleasure to meet you as well, Cyclops. I've heard so many stories about you and your team. Got to hang out with this one for awhile, the bar was pretty neat. Thinking about going back anytime soon?''

Logan gulped, he can already feel Scott straightening up in his seat without really looking his way. This was definitely going to be the talk of the night when they got home.

''I don't think so, it was the only night I needed for myself but I'm good. I'm assuming you haven't been back there since then?''

John chuckled, pointing at the seat closest to their table. This was THEIR date, their special date that Scott spent hours planning out for the two. So why was one of the Lucky Seven here?

''May I sit?''

''I don't think so, we're kind of on a date right now.'' Scott scratched the back of his head, hoping he wouldn't have to get physical with this supe. He felt jealousy surge through his entire body, not missing the way Homelander's eyes stayed on Logan's face. Even whilst talking to Scott, he seemed to have kept his eyes elsewhere.

Logan placed his hand over Scott's, he could smell the rot coming from the other man.

''My apologies, Mr. Cyclops.''

''Please call me Scott, Cyclops is my mission name.''

The air around them felt tense, this was far too awkward and Logan wasn't feeling it whatsoever.

''We're going to go ahead and head out. It was nice talking to you, John.'' Logan stood up, patting down the front of his pants while waving down the waitress that they've had all night.

John? Scott looked towards Homelander who smirked in return. Logan knew his actual name? And why didn't Logan tell him about hanging out with the man at the bar?

''It was lovely seeing you, Logan. Nice meeting you, Scott and I hope to see you two around. Matter of fact, you and your team should come to the parade. I've sent your professor an email, so I'll possibly see you all there. I'll be giving one of my famous speeches and we'll serve some of the best foods in town.''

Scott had gotten the check, slapping money in between the flaps. He was grinding his teeth, if he didn't already dislike Homelander, he sure as fuck did now.

''We'll see if we can make it, Logan and I are real busy this week so don't expect too much. Ready baby?''

'Baby' the petname made John twitch, his eyes burning fire behind his lids as he stared into the back of Scott's head whom was putting Logan's cardigan around his shoulders.

Logan and Scott said their goodbyes to John and made sure to remind him that they may or may not show up to the parade.

''The parade isn't just for The Lucky Seven, you know. It's to let our people know that we care about them, that we'll do anything to serve and protect no matter how high or low. As Hero's, we stand together and unite to keep danger out of this world.'' John spoke, hands on his hips as if he were practicing for a commercial.

People in the restaurant were watching, taking pictures and recording with excited faces taking over their many emotions.

Scott bit his tongue, squeezing Logan's hand.
