Fatherhood

Logan should have known something was wrong when he brought Blake to the rally, Sienna and Victor were with them among the protests, Adam, at Fifteen, was a good security for the family that helped him and his mother escape an offsite mine years prior, the teen who at the moment was shielding him from the random gunfire roaring nearby, his katana easily deflecting rounds aimed his way, Logan was guiding the Faunus and people away from the random attack of racist idiots, Victor was moving after getting free from a ice grenade.

He took out three men already while protecting a mother and daughter, both human.

Looking around for Kali and Blake, he spotted them both hiding with Sienna behind a Van with a Chameleon Faunus beside them shifting colours in his panicked state, Logan moved with Adam to the trio and extra while Adam kept Logan untouched, not that he needed the protection but it was appreciated.

"Logan, what's happening!?" turning to Kali as she held Blake close, Logan looked around to the bodies, Human and Faunus alike, laying around in pain, the psychos shooting up the street like maniacs, Logan spared a peek to the shooters, and seeing Victor grinning as he was shot in fear, the other gun men were hunkering down with one holding a Scroll showing hi face… well shit.

"I would guess this was a planned hit on me" turning back to his daughter, he gave a sheepish smirk.

"Adam?" seeing the Bull turn to him with focus, Logan spoke firmly.

"I want you to keep them safe, Victor and I will handle this mess" getting a hesitant nod from the teen, Logan nodded while rushing out of cover, bringing forth his claws, he gave a roar of anger, startling the assassins who screamed in alarm at his charge.

Before they could aim though, a sniper shot rang out with Logan feeling the round ripping clean through his spine, Logan staggered momentarily with his healing repairing the damage without pause, Logan spun with a scowl, looking up to a rooftop, Logan snapped his head to the left as another round was fired, the sniper fired another round with Logan deflecting it with his right claws, he grinned viciously at the sniper who gave a growl of frustration as he fired again.

Missing once more, instead hitting one of his goons in the head, Marcus Black scowled in anger as he loaded a special round to actually get the job done, this round was made from an artificial dust mixed repeatedly… making acid.

Taking aim, Marcus' eyes snapped to the family behind the Van, he gained a cruel smirk as he pulled back, leaving Logan to his goons.

Turning back to the other assassin's, Logan slashed and carved them apart alongside Victor, he two saving others in the cross fire by acting as living shields for the bullets, Logan was now easily the target now as they focused solely on him instead of the bigger threat that was Victor, it was this moment the Mantle Police arrived, arresting the assassin's with extreme prejudice, Logan and Victor snuck off as they rounded up the would be assassin's.

Logan finding Kali and Blake with Sienna, the group were about to leave the scene if not for a voice to speak.

"Hey!" turning to the source in alarm, Logan and Adam spotted the gun aimed before the others, both he and Adam moved to shield Kali and Blake, his eyes blinked in confusion at the lack of pain or itch, the assassin rushed off with a smirk with Adam moving to give chase before turning in alarm.

Logan went to give chase as well if not for Kali to scream.

"BLAKE!" spinning around in alarm, Logan's eyes widened in horror at the sight of Blake holding his stomach, with green spreading quickly.

Watching her look up with tears falling, Blake spoke weakly.

"Dad?"

"BLAKE!"

Rushing to them with a frantic look, his thoughts going through every scenario.

"We need help!?" ignoring the voice of a man as he rushed to them, he was one of the humans he and Victor saved.

Soon the paramedics arrived, Atlas Medics, looking over Blake with soldiers making a perimeter, the medic spoke.

"SHIT, this stuff was supposed to be shut down years ago!" watching the man bring out a syringe gun with a blue dust chambered in it, Logan watched the man inject the dust into Blake's wound to show the green veins slowly recede, he cursed as Blake choked.

"Damn it it's eating her bones!" looking up in alarm and surprise, Logan reached into his jacket, praying the syringe was still intact, he felt panic before feeling his skin crawl as a hand held the Syringe in his face.

Looking up to the Entity that saved him, he took the offered syringe with a breathless thank you, Logan looked down to his Daughter as she cried at the pain, Logan watched time resume with his eyes noticing the bone claws sprouting from her own knuckles, they were tainted green while shriveling up, Logan grabbed his Daughters left wrist to inject the contents inside, Kali watched in confusion and panic, Logan crouched in wait before Blake gave a cough as the green on her body receded, as if something was forcing it out, she gave her thanks to the medic… with her vomit.

Leaving the medic gagging at the contents before ripping his vest off to let it safely melt away from his being.

Turning back to Blake as her skin took on a more healthier shine, her eyes blinked tiredly as the acid on her lips evaporated.

Logan watched Blake inhale deeply, Kali held her daughter in a death grip with Logan joining the embrace.

"What was in that syringe?" turning to the stunned Medic, Logan raised his right hand before his claws sprang from his knuckles.

"It's a family thing" this in turn, got a belly laugh from the Medic who sagged in relief.

All failing to spot a news crew watching the scene with bated breath that was released with a sigh.

Sitting within a large farm within Anima, a lone man sat in a living room with the TV showing news within Mantle, his eyes focused intently at the sight before him, the claws, the hair, the passive bitch face on a muscled man.

Turning the man spoke with a wide grin.

"Took the Author long enough to bring me in"
