RWBY: Logan

My Sweetest Friend

Logan drove the Jeep with Ruby, Jaune, Nora, and Ren. Nora still wouldn't stop calling him "Old Man Logan." Logan didn't mind though. He did miss Nora's antics. "Where did you get this Jeep?" asked Jaune. Logan answered, "My neighbor Jennifer let me to borrow it for my job." Ren asked, "What is your job?" Logan replied, "Delivering goods. We're almost to my first stop." Ruby asked, "Where is it at?" Logan replied, "A town settlement called Hammer Falls." Nora then asked, "Hey, Old Man Logan, can you turn on the radio?" Logan nodded as he turned the radio on and it played "Rawhide" by Frankie Laine.

Finally they made it to Hammer Falls. The place had memorials for fallen heroes, including Thor's Mjølnir. Ruby asked, "Is Thor...?" Logan replied, "I heard a rumor that Thor might be recovering in Asgard. Hopefully that hammer will fly back to its master in time." Logan parked the Jeep in front of an auto repair shop. Logan climbed out as he went to the back trunk and opened it. He pulled out a package and walked inside the auto repair shop. The group was welcomed by a robot wearing overalls. "Hello," greeted the robot. "My name is Ultron 8. You must be the delivery person we were told about." Then a woman wearing a mechanic suit walked in and smiled, "Thank you for delivering our auto parts. Here's the pay for your troubles." She handed Logan the money and he counted it. Ultron 8 asked, "Is this entourage a part of your delivery group?" He was referring to Ruby, Jaune, Nora, and Ren. Logan shook his head as he explained, "Just some friends who decided to tag along after I got ambushed by the Ghost Rider Gang." Ultron 8 turned to the woman and said, "We should clarify with General Ironwood about that extremist biker gang, Tonya." Tonya nodded, "Remind me to do that after dinner." Ultron 8 nodded as the robot and mechanic said goodbye to Logan. He left the auto repair shop as he found Nora kicking back on the hood and leaning on the windshield. "Nora," grumbled Logan. "Get off of the hood. The Jeep's a rental." Nora slid off as she giggled, "Old Man Logan's getting a little grumpy." Ren sighed, "Logan is not that old, Nora," Ruby went to Logan as Jaune asked, "Is there a place we can eat?"

The group went to a restaurant called Stan's Diner. They all sat at a table and an older man with sunglasses and thick mustache named Stan Lee came to them. "Can I get your orders?" Logan replied, "I'll take the burger of the day." Ren said, "I'll take a salad." Nora asked, "Do you serve pancakes here?" Stan smiled, "Specially made by my wife." Nora shot a fist in the air as Ruby said, "I'll take the grilled cheese sandwich." Jaune said, "I'll take the soup." Stan finished with writing down their orders and went to the kitchen. Jaune asked, "So where do you live these days? You look like you haven't gotten out of the house." Logan looked at him as he replied, "Unfortunately with the Hulk Gang." They all gasped as Logan nodded. Ruby asked, "I don't understand. How did the Hulk turn evil?" Logan explained, "Yes, the Hulk used to be one of the most mightiest heroes. One time, he saved the world from a meteorite. He didn't fully realize the meteorite was made of a gamma poison that not only aged him, but turned the Hulk into more of a monster than he was before." Stan came to them and gave their food to them. As Stan left, Logan added, "Hulk is still able to revert back into Bruce Banner, but the Hulk's inhumane mind molded into his." Ruby asked, "Well, now that we found you, will you come back to help us fight back the people who were responsible for the Fall of Beacon?" Logan looked at her sadly and sighed, "I'm sorry, Ruby. I can't. It's not my fight anymore. I'm a pacifist now." Nora said, "You're not gonna fight? C'mon, you're the Wolverine!" Everyone's heads turned to Logan. He sighed, saying, "The Wolverine died the day Beacon fell. And I am not the Wolverine. He's dead. I killed him." Everyone's heads turned away as Ren asked, "How did the 'Wolverine' die?" Logan replied, "Got ran over by a train." Logan finished his food and paid Stan up front as he left the diner.

Logan got back to the Jeep as he checked his list for the next delivery. "At the Atlas kingdom, where?" murmured Logan to himself. "At the Schnee House." Logan leaned on the Jeep as he deadpanned, "This is going to be great." Ruby came up to him and asked, "You really aren't going to come back to the fight, with me?" Logan sighed, "Some people handle grief differently, Ruby. You saw I didn't fight back last night. As of now, the Wolverine is no more." Logan opened the door and climbed inside the Jeep. "I wish you good luck though," said Logan. "Has Yang called you?" asked Ruby. Logan sighed as he started the engine. "She won't answer my calls and I don't blame her," answered Logan. "I think we're both hurt." Ruby asked, "What about Blake?" Logan shook his head as he said, "I think she's doing fine. Then again, I don't know." Ruby held her head as she said, "Goodbye." Logan turned to see her as he tried to smile. "Despite everything, Ruby, it's nice to see you again." Logan backed up the Jeep as he drove away from Hammer Falls.
