before i started writing i forgot my plot LOL
It took her a while to get her thoughts on paper. Logan was always the good writer. She wasn't very good with emotions. She most likely had made grammar mistakes. Maybe it didn't make any sense. But she was sure he'd understand it.
She searched for some pictures she knew she had of them. Some pictures they had when they were young. So she attached those to the letter and listened to know if Rorke and Logan were gone. Turns out they were, so she headed to Logan's room really quick.
She taped the letter on the door and decided to go talk to his friends. While it might be a bad idea, she was willing to almost do anything to try to fix things. Anything to get her best friend back.
And so she started searching for them. After a while, she found them sitting in the rec room, Smith reading a book, as always, Mitch watching TV and Angélica doodling in a notebook. Smith noticed her and glared at her before closing his book.
"Okay listen to me before murdering me," She grabbed the remote and closed the TV. Alex stood in front of them and raised a hand up. "Look. Logan told you about me, right?"
They glanced at each other and Mitch crossed his arms defensively. They all nodded.
"Alright, Logan isn't...The same right now, I mean, like I know this isn't him. You've known the...brainwashed part of him- All I'm trying to say is that I need your help to get Logan back and run the fuck away from Rorke," She finished and clapped her hands, feeling three pairs of eyes judging her. Mitch got up and shoved his hands in his pockets.
"And why should we trust you? I mean, it would be only make sense for you to support your dad, no? Logan says you're-" She waved her hands around and ran a hand through her hair.
"God no no, Rorke is an awful person I am not on his side, holy fuck. Okay look, long story short, Logan was my childhood friend, then Rorke fucking kidnapped me and shit happened and then he came back here fucking brainwashed. Rorke killed his father, Rorke was the one who tortured him, why the fuck would he trust him?" Mitch nodded and looked back at his friends.
"What do you need?"
Time skip
Logan was looking at Rorke pacing back and forth in his office. He tried to understand what happened earlier. It was like his cold and cruel composure was cracking. It was scary. For Logan and for Rorke, who didn't want to lose his puppet.
"I have a question for you Logan," He leaned on the desk and stared at him. "Do you really think she's a good person?"
Normally he'd say no, but today he hesitated. He thought about everything. His childhood, especially. Then the conversation he had earlier. Where he actually felt something, he felt slightly hurt.
He felt human.
"Do you?" Logan asked. He wanted to know if his opinion of Alex was his. If he had been brainwashed- was he brainwashed? Rorke had told him the torture was necessary to make him stronger. Rorke couldn't lie. He can't lie to him.
"Of course I don't. She's a brat. She deserves every hit that's being thrown her way." That one made him laugh. Logan never had laughed at Rorke. But now it felt nice. His superior had looked at him, and he knew he was annoyed. It felt satisfying. Be mad.
