Starheart
Chapter 1
Midway City
Midway City. One of the largest cities and one of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States of America. Midway City was an international center for business, politics, theater, music, fashion and finance. And crime but they don't tell you that. The city was the home to many celebrities and many hard working Americans.
Midway had been through a lot in the recent years with the uproar of metahumans in society and the discovery of aliens foes who want to take over the planet or even worse. For a while, it was also the home of new metahumans which means danger for those non-powered citizens if those metas wanted to harm them in anyway. Midway City had seen invasions with the intent to destroy the city and kill the humans along with it. But thanks to the may heroes like the Justice League, the Earth and Midway City was safe. And it seems like the League could always protect the planet.
Or so they say.
"Uncle Logan! Uncle Logan! Uncle Logan!" said a 3-year old little girl with curly brown hair with brown eyes wearing a pink onesie running into the living room of a 1-bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment in Downtown Midway. The little girl ran and jumped up onto the couch where her uncle lay. The 6'4, Caucasian dark-brown haired male awoke from his slumber. He had a light 5 o'clock shadow on his strong jaw that had met up with the short faded sides of his hair cut. He had medium hair that was spiky on top. He turned his head and looked at his niece who then started to try to climb up on the couch. He groaned as he sat up and gently picked up his niece and sat her down on his laps.
He looked into her big brown orbs with his ocean blue eyes and smiled. He then leaned down and gave her a kiss on her forehead making her chuckle.
"My god do you not need sleep? You are a restless child." He said.
"I think she gets it from her uncle." He heard a voice making him smile. The angelic voice belonged to his longtime friend and longtime girlfriend. He looked her up and down taking note of her angelic features. She had tanned skin that was almost the same skin tone as his but probably just a bit more tanned. She had dark brown hair that was darker than her boyfriends and also had dark brown chocolate eyes. She had a build like that a model. Tall, athletic, built with weight in all the right areas. She was wearing one his plaid button up shirts with the top two buttons unbuttoned and she had her hair wrapped up in a ponytail.
He chuckled as his girlfriend walked over to the couch and picked up his niece and took a seat on his lap with his niece in her lap.
"Good morning honey." said his girlfriend who leaned down and gave her boyfriend a kiss while they both smiled.
"Yuck!" his niece said as she stuck out her tongue and placed her hands over her eyes. Logan rolled his eyes with a chuckle.
"Alright who wants pancakes?" said as his niece then jumped off and ran towards the kitchen.
"Meeeee." She shouted as she ran into the kitchen while they watched on.
"Thanks Micaela." He said as he grabbed at her hand and held it tight.
"For what?" She said as her brow furrowed out of confusion.
"For watching her last night and sticking with me for so long. I know I'm not the richest guy that you could've been with but I promise I will do everything in my power to take make you as happy as possible." Logan said. She then leaned down and gave him a kiss on the forehead.
"You know I love you right?" Micaela asked as she looked him in his eyes.
"Yeah, I know. And I love you too." Logan said as he gave Micaela a quick peck on her lips before Micaela rose up off his lap and walked into the kitchen.
"I think you better hurry up, Anna's kinda hungry." Micaela yelled from the kitchen as Logan got up and walked into the kitchen.
Minutes Later
Logan sat at the table with his niece sitting in his lap while Micaela sat in the chair next to him. Logan would sometimes feed his niece Anna pancakes and sometimes feed himself while Micaela sat their watching the two in amazement of how good of a man that Logan was. It was one of the two weekends that Logan would have with his niece. Family was an important thing to him and family was the reason that he kept working as hard as he did.
"How cute can a 3 year old get?" Micaela asked as she looked at Anna.
"I don't know but wait till we have our own 3 year old." Logan said making Micaela's smile widen even more. Just as Micaela begun to talk Logan's phone started to ring making him exhale as he picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID and then looked up at Micaela.
"It's them." He simply said as she sighed and picked up his niece and walked towards their bedroom. She closed the door after them as he accepted the call.
"What do you want Waller?"
"I want you in ARGUS."
"Not happening. I told you after what happened in Metropolis that I was done. Done with the Marines. Done with ARGUS. And most importantly done with you."
"That was 2 years ago. We all live and forget."
"Well, I didn't forget. I'm out of ARGUS.
"Let's make one thing clear: The only way that you're done with ARGUS is when you're in a body bag. I would hate for your brains to splattered all over the table that you just ate at with your niece."
"Well let me make something else clear for you Waller: I told you I'm done. And get rid of me if you want but leave them out of it."
"You need to serve your country once again. 'Cause if you don't I can make that money that you're sister was saving for Anna all disappear. And It would be a shame if your girlfriend's father just suddenly lost his fight against cancer because of you. She would be devastated and imagine if she found it that it was all because of you."
"That's enough Waller. I'll do it. Meet me at Clark Avenue."
"You don't call the shots Mr. Galloway. I do. You meet me at Wilson Street." Waller said as she then hung up the phone while Logan looked out of the window eyes looking directly at the weaponized drone that Waller had outside of his window. The drone then flew up and flew away from his window.
"Caela." Logan shouted. Micaela then walked out of their bedroom holding onto Anna.
"I need to go."
"Let me guess, she called you in?" Micaela asked as Logan nodded with his eyes looking down at the ground.
"Go. I can take Anna to my sisters and we can stay there until you're sister comes to pick her up." Micaela said.
"Alright I just need you guys safe. I don't know what Waller has planned up her sleeve." Logan said as he grabbed Micaela and placed a quick peck on her lips. He then turned his attentions to his niece who looked with a hand looking to grab him. Logan smiled as he appealed to his niece's wants and gave her his hand. He then kissed her on the forehead.
"I promise you both that I will come home." Logan said then looking on at his girlfriend and niece.
"I know you will. You always do." Micaela said kissing him but this time more passionate and more fearful.
Hours Later - Downtown Midway City
Logan sat on a park bench now dressed in blue jeans with brown chukka boots with a white t-shirt and a black jacket over it with a hat and a pair of sunglass to cover up. Suddenly a black SUV pulled up on the curb next to him.
"Get in." said Amanda Waller who sat in the backseat with a pair of sunglasses on her face. Logan exhaled as he got up and followed Waller's wishes and got into the SUV while the window rolled up and they then started to drive off from where he was sitting.
"Your assignment." Waller said as she handed him a folder. He opened the folder and read the information.
"I told you that I was done. And that includes Renegade." He said as he closed the folder.
"And I told you that the only way that you're done is in a body bag. Now if you want that I can grant your wish and deliver your head to your girlfriend personally." Waller said.
"So let me make sure I got this straight. You want me and your personal pawn to infiltrate a government facility and erase whatever files they have on ARGUS."
"Wow, you can read. Am I supposed to be impressed?"
"After this, I'm done."
"You don't listen. You don't make that decision with your mouth. You make that decision with your life. And from what I can tell, you're not ready." Waller said as she looked at Logan with a smirk. Logan frowned as he looked Waller in her cold black eyes. She was hiding something and he was going to find out what.
