RWBY: Logan

Empire of Dirt

Logan parked the Jeep in front of the Schnee Family Home's estate. He got out of the Jeep and grabbed the package for the Schnees. Logan walked over to the front doorstep and rang the doorbell. A few seconds later, a butler answered the door. "A package for a Jacques Schnee?" said Logan. The butler nodded as he let Logan in. "My master is in his study," said the butler. "Follow me." Logan nodded as he began following him. As Logan walked behind the butler, he looked around the manor in amazement. "Something is on your mind, sir?" asked the butler. Logan replied, "It's a nice place, too bad it's an empire of dirt." The butler nodded, "I would agree with you, but it is my job to serve the Schnee's every need." "'An empire of dirt'?" asked a young boy offended. "Who is this peasant?" The butler answered, "I believe this is the delivery person General Ironwood recommended." Logan took a good look at the boy. He had short white hair, pale skin, and pale blue eyes. Logan smirked, "Who knew that Weiss had a little brother? No wonder she doesn't talk about you 'cause I can see why. You're a real pain in the ass." The boy snapped, "Who do you think you are, peasant?" Logan replied, "The name's Logan, and I should get going. Your daddy's gonna wonder what's taking his package so long." The butler and Logan left as the boy snapped, "This isn't over, Logan!" Logan sighed, "It is for me." Weiss was hiding behind a corner with eyes wide.

The butler and Logan made it to the study where Jacques and Ironwood were talking. Ironwood noticed Logan as he walked over and gently put the package on Jacques' desk. "You seem a little pushed, Logan," observed Ironwood. "You all right?" Logan answered, "Just tired, general. I had a long night." Ironwood nodded, "I heard. You got chased by a Ravager, a dinosaur like Grimm." Logan shrugged, "I was more concerned about the safety of the packages and my neighbor's Jeep." Jacques scoffed, "Well you certainly handled well for a filthy Faunus like yourself. You're just lucky my package wasn't damaged." Logan sighed as he rolled his eyes. Ironwood frowned, "Jacques, cut him some slack. You know he did a good job and you refuse to admit it because of his Faunus heritage." Logan sighed, "He ain't wrong about the filthy part. My landlord's a dick 'cause he cut off my hot water." Both Jacques and Ironwood were in silence as Logan asked, "Is Weiss here?" Jacques replied, "She is rehearsing a song. She is not to be bothered." Ironwood said, "I'm sure Weiss has time for a friend." The butler offered, "I can take you to her room if you want to." Logan was just about to speak but Ironwood interrupted, "Do so immediately. Logan looks like he needs to see a friend." Logan frowned at him as he hesitantly agreed, "Sure. Why not?"

The butler led Logan to Weiss' room and knocked on the door. Logan could hear her singing. 'She's gotta a good singing voice,' thought Logan. Weiss asked, "What is it?" The butler answered, "A friend is here to see you." Logan contemplated on what to say to her after six months of hardship. "Send them in," said Weiss. The butler opened the door and Logan reluctantly walked in. Weiss turned to see him and asked, "Logan, is that really you?" Logan smiled, "Hey, Emma Frost." Weiss frowned at first but rushed forward to hug him. "It really is you," said Weiss with tears. Logan hugged her back as he let go and Weiss released. She chuckled, "I knew it was you when you called my family's 'empire of dirt' to my younger brother Whitney." Logan said, "He seems to be kind of an asshole like your dad." Weiss sighed, "No surprise there." Then Weiss asked, "So what happen to you?" Logan sat down on her bed and Weiss sat next to him as he told her the entire story. Getting ran over by a train, living with the Hulk Gang, getting the delivery job, and his beatings at the end of every month. Weiss grasped his shoulder gently as she said, "Is that why everyone hasn't seen you in months? I'm sorry." Logan replied, "It's not all that bad. There's still one good Hulk: Jennifer Walters. She's been like a mother figure to me and she has an adopted daughter named Doreen Green. She just turned eight and a squirrel Faunus." Weiss smiled, "I would like to meet her someday." Logan chuckled, "Trust me, she's adorable." Weiss sighed as she smiled and then frowned. "What's wrong?" asked Logan. "I just can't believe I'm back here," muttered Weiss. "In this house. Where I spent my miserable childhood." Logan sighed, "You're lucky I know what that's like." Weiss reminded, "Well, yours was a little more extreme than mine." Logan got up and said, "I gotta get going. My last package ain't gonna deliver itself." Weiss agreed, "And my show isn't going to sing itself, but before you go, there's something I have to ask you." Logan replied, "Shoot." Weiss asked, "Did you find that peace you always wanted? Did you find contentment?" Logan sighed as he nodded, "Yeah." Weiss held his shoulder as she said gently, "Then congratulations." Logan added, "Winter said hi by the way." Weiss smiled knowingly as Logan left. He went through the doors and went into the Jeep. Logan drove out of the Schnee Family Home estate.
