A/N: Hello people. This is a AU Voyager FanFic. In this universe, a secret Starfleet branch excists, known as the Omega Division. It's excistence is important to the story. I've added some background. I've made some changes that may not be to everyone's liking, but to those people I say: Deal with it!
I think it's a great story (or else I wouldn't be writing it), so please read and review and let me know what you think.
Disclaimer: I do not own Startrek: Voyager.

Background:
- Omega Division:
The Omega Division was created during the experiments with the Omega-molecule. The known members of the Division, some leading Starfleet scientists, including the physicist Ketteract, all died during the destruction of the Division's top-secret research facility in the Lantaru Sector.
The Omega Division continued to exist however, as the behind-the-screen members continued with other top-secret missions and research, even though the Omega-molecule research was abandoned.
Now the Division exists as a secret branch of Starfleet, one of which only a few top-members are aware, and carries out missions too 'delicate' for Starfleet to handle.
After Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant, the existence of the Omega Division became known.
Even though they were forced to take on a public face, most of their missions today still remain 'dark'.
The Omega Division uniform resembles the Starfleet ones, except it's all black.
A jacket with ribbed leather shoulders, and a small collar which holds the silver rank-pips, over a collar-less black t-shirt.
They wear black leather combat-boots with silver buckles.
The combadges display the Starfleet-logo over the Greek letter Omega.
- Gabriel Logan:
Gabriel Logan was an Omega Division Commander, who volunteered to try and bring Voyager home.
The Omega Division had found a wormhole leading to the Delta Quadrant. However, scientists said it was only stable enough to make one trip one-way through. But chances were in favour of him opening the wormhole from the other side and bring Voyager back.
That plan failed, and Logan was now also trapped in the Delta Quadrant. He remained on Voyager and his knowledge and expertise gained him a role as advisor to Captain Janeway.
During his time on Voyager, Logan made many friends and formed lasting relationships with the members of the crew.
Commander Chakotay however, never trusted Logan, and in his eyes, Logan was slowly taking in his position as First Officer.
On one very dangerous away-mission, Chakotay and Logan got into a fight. Due to neglect of both of them, Chakotay got into a life-threatening position and the away-team could do nothing to save his life.
After that incident Logan was offered the First Officer's position, but couldn't except it over Tuvok's head. But he was a Division Commander, and advisor to Janeway, so his role on board was equal to Tuvok's.
When Voyager got home, the fact that an Omega Division Commander was present on Voyager confirmed rumours of the existence of the Division, and exposed the organisation to Starfleet and became public knowledge.
Everything during the series would happen as it did, except everything regarding Chakotay wouldn't have, obviously, since he's dead.

Chapter 1: Tahiti
The door chimed.
'Computer, open doors.' She was sitting too comfortable, watching her daughter play.
'Unable to comply.'
'What?'
'Sorry, hon,' a voice sounded from the kitchen.
'Think I've overloaded some circuits in here. You'll have to take a look later.'
'Access manually.' The computer advised.
'Great.' She thought.
Sighing she stood up and walked to the door. It swished open, hitting her with the tropical heat.
Her mood immediately improved when she saw who was at the door.
'What are you doing here?' She said as she hugged her unexpected guest and gave him a kiss.
'Just thought I'd drop by and congratulate the new Captain.' He had just finished the sentence, when he suddenly got stormed.
'Uncle Gabriel, uncle Gabriel!' Miral said happily, jumping up and down around his legs.
Gabriel Logan smiled at B'Elanna as he picked up the little girl.
Before he had a chance to say hello to her, Miral was all over him.
'Uncle Gabriel, look at what Daddy gave me!'
They walked to the living room and Logan saw a large antique LCD television-set, and a game-console. The game on the screen was paused.
'Tom calls it a play… play-stadium or something.' B'Elanna said smiling as Miral climbed of Logan and resumed her game.
'Playstation, sweetie, station.' Tom came in wearing a chef's apron.
'Hey Logan,' He said.
'Check it out, the Playstation XIV, a technological masterpiece in the day. It's creates something like a 2D holodeck!'
Logan smiled as he gave Tom Paris a handshake.
'And you replicated it just for Miral?' He said as he eyed a game called "Advanced flight-simulations, Mark X".
Tom grinned and changed the subject.
'You are staying for dinner. I made it myself. Replicated chilli just doesn't do it for me.'
'You'd made Neelix proud.' Logan said.
'It's almost ready.' Tom said as he walked back into the kitchen.
B'Elanna motioned Logan to sit down with her at the table.
'So,' Logan said to her.
'How do the four pips look on you?'
'Actually, I don't know.' B'Elanna said.
'I haven't accepted the promotion yet.'
'Why not?' Logan looked at the almost-Captain with surprise.
'I'm not looking forward to change the yellow for the red, you know? I'm working on getting reassigned to Starfleet Headquarters. If I could get an engineering position there, I would accept the promotion, and I could spend more time at home with Tom and Miral.'
Logan nodded
'I know a few people in San Francisco' He said.
'If you want, I can see what I can do…'
'Come on, you know you don't have to pull any strings.' B'Elanna said.
'Starfleet is so happy with our experience; they're doing a whole lot to please our family.'
'Speaking of your experience…' Logan said.
'I have a favour to ask of you and Tom.'
'Ah, is the true reason of your visit going to be revealed?' B'Elanna laughed.
'It's going to have to wait until after dinner.' Tom said, appearing from the kitchen holding a big pot of chilli.
He set the food on the table and placed an extra plate for Logan. Miral joined them after she'd set her game on 'pause' again.
'Alright, let's catch up.' Tom said as he filled everyone's plate.
'How do you like retirement so far?' Logan asked.
'Oh it's great,' Tom said.
'Away from the stress and busy duty-rosters, no admirals breathing down your neck… I should have quitted the moment we got back home.
Instead I get to stay home with Miral, bring her to school, pick her up, do groceries, cooking, that sort of thing. And watch very old reruns of Oprah.'
'What's an Oprah?' Logan asked confused.
'It's something he calls a 'talk show' and he watches it on the television. And most of the time he just uses the replicator anyway.' B'Elanna answered for him.
'Well… if it's there you might as well use it. We haven't been on rations for 4 years now. And, I find it very interesting to watch those old shows. You wouldn't believe the problems those 21st century people had. It's very entertaining.' Tom said.
'I swear the thing is addictive.' B'Elanna said to Logan.
'He keeps downloading those 'tv-shows' from the databanks…'
Logan grinned.
'But how are you doing?' Tom changed the subject.
'Well you know, that's… classified.' Logan said with a smile.
'No, it's more of the same really. Secret missions here, scientific research there. Actually, I am in the middle of something. Something I need your help for. But we can talk about it later…'
'Well Tom, I have to say, I had my reservations about having chilli in Tahiti with 30 °C, but it tasted damn good.' Logan said after dinner.
'Thank you.' Tom said.
'Glad to hear it. Sit down; I'll open a bottle of wine… We can talk.'
B'Elanna and Logan walked over to the couch and sat down. Miral went to bed after kissing her mother and Logan goodnight.
Tom came from the kitchen with wine and glasses, and promised he would tuck her in in a moment.
He joined them on the couch and filled the glasses.
'Now,' B'Elanna said as she handed Logan a glass.
'How can we help you?'
In the following moments, Logan told them what he had told again and again the last month, and explained to them what he wanted them to do.
'I'm not sure…' B'Elanna said when he was finished.
'What about Miral?'
'You know, it does sound like fun. Think about it for a second.' Tom said
'Alright,' B'Elanna said after a while.
'But only under one condition…'
Logan smiled. He had expected this.
'Don't worry.' He said.
'That's going to be taken care of…'
'Who have you talked to about this?' B'Elanna asked.
'Almost everyone. I have only one more stop to make…' Logan said.
