Metamorphosis
This is totally AU all the way as of now NO OC's (a rarity for me LOL)...I don't own GH just the insane amount of Plot Bunnies hopping in my fan girl head
As soon as Maxie left Logan knew he needed to get out. Usually when he felt like shit he'd drag his best bud Coop to a bar and drink however this time was different. This time drinking his sorrows away wouldn't cut it. He picked up a jacket and headed outside. He knew where he needed to go.

Spinelli felt horrible. He wanted to go back and apologize to his mother however at the same time he was glad he had shown some backbone. How dare Kate Howard ask NO demand that the Jackal change who he was just because he was her son. Her son that she gave up twenty years ago with no regrets until just the day before when she found out that he was her progeny. Spinelli wanted to talk to his Blonde One but alas she was out of town. Then there was the Faithful friend and dispenser of Wisdom...but he didn't want her to get mixed into anything that could happen. There was Stone Cold but he was out doing some business for Mr. Corinthos sir and couldn't be bothered at the moment. There was one person he could call and he didn't want to do it.

Kate was in tears as Sonny walked into her home.
"I blew it Sonny," Kate said, "I messed up with my son and I don't think that I can fix it."
Sonny placed his hand on her shoulder letting her cry.
"What happened," Sonny said, "I saw your boy running out of here upset."
"I let my career do the talking," Kate said, "told him that in my world...the fashion world image is everything...that if he was to be my son...well in the public eye..."
"You asked him to change who he was," Sonny asked.
Kate nodded.
"I told him I was planning to send him to Manhattan for a few days," Kate said, "have him meet with my people...I mean he wouldn't have to change who he was just how he looked...If only he would have let me explain it would be win win."
"If that's what you think," Sonny said, "honestly admit it you hope that your son can make a total change like Connie did in becoming Kate."
"do not," Kate said, "in fact I wish that Connie didn't change as much as she did...granted if that happened I wouldn't be where I was today...but maybe If I was laid back a bit more I would have had the guts to track down Damian sooner."
"So now what," Sonny said, "do you think he'll speak to you again?"
"I-I want him to," Kate said, "please can you talk to Jason...tell get him to talk to my son...I mean I've seen him with Jason and they are close."
"Like brothers," Sonny said.
Kate smiled. Little did Spinelli know his connection to Jason was closer then he knew.
'Should I tell Jason that Damian is his nephew,' Kate thought as she was trapped in Sonny's sweet embrace.

Logan reached the cemetery and watched all the churchgoers leaving. He knew he needed some kind of divine intervention and as it was too late for him to go to a service he thought of the next best thing. He knelt in front of the grave of a woman he never got the opportunity to know. This woman was his half sister Karen. He learned about her from the all too few conversations he had with his father Scott.
"Karen," Logan said, "you don't know me but we have something in common...late in life we both found out that Scott Baldwin was our father."
He took a deep breath.
"I know you're probably the last person on earth I should be venting to," Logan said, "but I figure divine intervention can't hurt. I've done some things in life that I regret...that I want to make up for. I made this stupid bet to get a girl into bed for the soul purpose of sleeping with another then I did something I never thought I'd do...I fell in love. The worst part of it all is that the girl I fell for isn't one of the two involved in the bet but the sister of the person I was to sleep with for my reward. I don't know if during your time spent on earth you met Georgie Jones. She is the best thing that has happened to me...unfortunately she doesn't know that yet. She thinks that I'm a womanizing pig which I admit I was...but...but I want to change."
Logan sat in silence until the sound of his cell ringing made him jump.
--
Spinelli was in the park trying his hardest not to cry any more then he had been.
"Pick up," he said out loud, "please don't go to voicemail."
However it did...
You've reached Logan...
Spinelli waited for the beep and began to talk.
"Logan," Spinelli said, "it's me...Spinelli...I know we aren't the best of friends...understatement of the year that I'm calling right...anyway if you get this can you meet me at my place. Stone Cold is out and I could use someone to talk to about well...yesterday."
Spinelli hung up his cell and headed to the penthouse hoping Logan would show up.
--
Logan picked up his phone and immediately heard Spinelli's message. He decided to let Spinelli's problems become a distraction for his own and headed to the penthouse. Soon there was a knock on the door.
"Spinelli its Logan," Logan said.
Spinelli opened the door and motioned for his former foe to sit down. He offered the other man some of his barbeque chips which he gladly took.
"What's the emergency," Logan asked.
"I didn't say it was an emergency did I," Spinelli asked.
"No," Logan said, "you didn't."
"You know how I found out that I was the person Mr. Corinthos wanted me to track down," Spinelli said.
"How did it go," Logan asked as he was with Spinelli when he first found out the news, "I mean I assume you actually told Sonny you were the kid...did you find anything else out."
"I found out the reason Mr. Corinthos sir asked me to find the child who turned out to be the Jackal," Spinelli said, "you see Mr. Corinthos sir and my mother were close and she actually wanted to know what had happened to the boy she gave up."
"So are you going to meet this Connie Falconeri," Logan asked.
"I've met her actually," Spinelli said, "rephrase that I knew her all this time."
"So she's someone in town," Logan asked surprised.
"This can't leave the apartment," Spinelli said, "but Connie became Kate Howard."
"Kate Howard as in fashion editor Kate Howard," Logan asked trying to picture it.
"My mom is grateful for finding me," Spinelli said, "in fact she is even interested in going public."
"There's a but isn't there," Logan asked.
"She wants the Jackal to change who he is," Spinelli said.
"Man what I'd give for a bit of self-reinvention right now," Logan said as Spinelli looked at him, "you see Spinelli there is this girl."
"Please let's not have the Blonde One ruin this civil conversation," Spinelli said.
"It's not Lulu," Logan said, "and if you promise to keep a secret I'll tell you more."
"Secret's safe with me," Spinelli said.
"Georgie," Logan said.
"You and the Loyal Little Sister," Spinelli said, "stranger things have happened."
"That's why I wish I could re-invent my self," Logan said, "I mean next Saturday I promised to take Georgie to the Metro Court to show her how I can be a real gentleman and frankly...I know I'm not going to fool her."
"It's funny," Spinelli said, "how alike we are at times."
"Scary is more like it," Logan said as the door opened and Jason entered.
"Well," Logan said looking at Jason who was not amused at finding Logan at the apartment, "I guess I should be going..."
Spinelli nodded as Logan headed for the door. He slowly turned back and smiled.
"Sometimes Jackal," Logan said, "change can be good."
Jason looked at Spinelli confused as Logan left.
"Sit Stone Cold," Spinelli said, "the Jackal has much to tell."

TBC...
I'm at the point where I have so many ideas/subplots I need to pick out the good stuff...still figuring out how the Quartermaine reveal is going to happen...Spinelli IS going to go and change his image but how drastic should it be??? As for Logan what do you think should happen as he goes through his own personal metamorphosis? Reader ideas loved...
