RWBY: Fireborn

Logan: "Well, I got to hand it to the guy. He's got style." Logan said to himself as he stood inside Roman's office.

Currently, Logan was standing inside Roman's personal office impressed by the decor, having picked the lock of the reinforced door with his ash. From just what he could see, there was close to 2 million Lien in the furniture alone as it was made from the best ebony money could buy. As Logan started looking around the office, started with the book case as his curiosity got the best of him. As none of the books had any titles on the spines, Logan just grabbed one and began to read it. Only to shut it almost instantly after opening it with a beat red face.

Logan: "Okay, one, Roman your a pervert." Logan said to himself as he put the book back. "And two, how can Blake read this? It's so... raunchy." Logan shivered.

Logan then headed for Roman's desk, hoping to get those words he read out of his head. As he got to the desk, Logan notice how tidy and well care for. Logan made a mental note of this as he went through the drawers. In less then five minutes of searching, Logan found several plans and their timetables, building layouts with their security pointed out, and an old leather bound journal with neat and flowing cursive handwriting. Not hesitating to read the journal, Logan sat down the the high back leather chair that was behind the desk and began to read.

Logan was surprised to find out that it was a gift from Neo a few years ago as stated in the first entry. As Logan read on, he came to find that Roman only became what he is today out of spite of his father. A man who was a passive mafia boss from Mistral, yet helped out those less fortunate. A man who put the people he watched over first and himself last. Roman was pissed that the man had no greed and wouldn't use underhanded means to get what he wanted. Roman then made an off hand remark about how he was the third son and knew he wouldn't get the position after her retired so he did the most logical thing. He forcefully took over the entire mafia his father controlled.

From there, Roman took over a major port in Mistral and began expanding outward. Not long after Roman turned 20, he found Neo stealing bread from one of his restaurants. Roman took Neo in on the condition that she pay him back for everything he did for her. A.k.a, being food, clothing, shelter, training, e.t.c. Neo understood that it would be a working relationship between the two of them and held respect for him to a certain degree. At least, that was according to Roman's journal.

Logan shook his head as he put the journal down after finding nothing useful inside it. Not even the name of Roman's boss. Logan went back to going over the plans Roman had in his desk. With how meticulous Roman was, all of his plans were dated and had time-frames on them. Logan put together all of the plans that were still in the works and those that were completed and waiting to be executed and walked out the of the office. Once outside, Logan came face-to-face with a group of armed thugs.

Thug A: "Well, look what we have here! A little bastard that thinks he can move in on our turf." Thug A said as he is armed with a bat.

Thug B: "Let's show him what happens to those who try!" Said Thug B armed with a handgun.

Thug C: "Hey! Don't hurt him to much, I want a piece of his ȧss when we're done." Said Thug C as he towered over the entire group armed with brass knuckles.

Logan: "This never happened. There were no thugs here." Logan said to himself as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, which confused the thugs.

With a simple snap of his finger, Logan summoned his crimson flames in a circle around the thugs. As the thugs looked around them in bewilderment, the flaming circle shot up and engulfed them in an instant. A few seconds later, the fire disappeared and nothing was left of the thugs, not even ash. Logan sighed, and walked down the street before opening his wings and flying away with the plans in hand. Already having locked everything back up so that no one could get back in and mess with it's contents. As he flew, Logan called back Glynda to inform her what he found.

Glynda (On Call): "Hello?" Glynda said as her scroll connected.

Logan: "Hey Glynda, you'll never guess what I found." Logan said as he tried to ignore the background noise from Glynda's end.

Glynda: "I hope your trip was worth it." Glynda replied as the background noise began fading.

Logan: "I got my hands on several plans dated for the next three months and several others that weren't completed yet. We can get a jump on the next robberies before they even happen with these." Logan said.

Glynda: "That's great, we may see the end to those robberies now." Glynda sighed happily. "Anyway, Ozpin was asked by the council to have you participate in the single's round not that long ago. Apparently, they want to show all of Remnant what an S-class hunter can do."

Logan: "Wouldn't that require them to deal with numerous piles of paper work and be brought up months in advance?" Logan asked her.

Glynda: "Yes, and yet here I am dealing with the changes and problems that come up when it is done right in the middle of the matches." Glynda said tiredly. " I need a drink." she then mumbled to herself.

Glynda: "That would be wonderful, Logan." Glynda thanked him. "I'm at my apartment, I rather be comfortable when I have to pull an all night-er. Please knock when you get here and I'll let you in. Just make sure to drop the plans you got off if you can" Glynda said as she hung up leaving Logan to do what he needed.

Logan sighed, the council was getting power hungry and doing things on whims more and more as time went on. Logan has suspicions about why, yet he had no proof or anything to go off of other then just suspicions. He had no idea what they were currently doing as he wasn't part of their security detail, yet he had ideas about what they were doing as one was know to be a frequent patron at a local ' Gentlemen's ' club. Logan shuttered at the issues that would pop up if that council man's bastard children came to light. One of the perks Logan had with being a friend of Junior and having access to his information network, other then the occasional free drink.

Logan then made his way to Ozpin's office to drop off the plans before heading off to Glynda's apartment. Stopping only a moment to grab a few things from his room at Beacon as he had pulled almost all oh his things out of his [Inventory] to wash, repair, clean, or something else it needed. And then buying a good bottle of alcohol from his [System shop] since he had a feeling that the two of them would need it by the time they were done. By the time Logan got to Glynda's apartment, he had several bags in his hand. A change of clothes, his coffee pot that he custom made to brew coffee in a unique way, a coffee grinder, a pound of high grade coffee beans, and a 90 proof bottle of whiskey for when they're done.

When Glynda opened the door, she saw that Logan was prepared for one long night. She smiled and let him in as the two of them got to work on the piles of paperwork that was on the dinning room table. As the two of them sat down, Logan took half and Glynda took the others as they began to write. From what Logan could read and figure out, all the paperwork was permission forms for the use of the Colosseum. From permission needed from all four kingdoms, which was thankfully given, was one of them. Others were possible expense reports, possible damage reports, number of tickets sold predictions, match length and allotted time, security details and patrol patterns written out, and so much more that needed to be sent in in triplicate.

It took them well into the night and several pots of coffee by the time the two of them got close to finishing the last of the paperwork. Well, for Logan at least. Glynda had a rish coffee Logan gave her as he was finishing the last few pages he had. When Logan finished up, he looked up to find Glynda wobbling in her chair; with the whiskey in her hands.

Logan: "Hey, you okay there Glynda?" Logan asked hesitantly.

Glynda: "*Hick* Hehehe..." Was Glynda's response, her eyes semi-glossed over.

Logan: "Glynda?" Logan asked again as he slowly got up and shook her shoulder lightly.

All Logan got was Glynda turning her towards him. In a split second, Logan could feel danger radiating from Glynda as she eyed him like a predator does a piece of meet. The next thing Logan knew, he was being forced to down the half of the whiskey bottle that Glynda didn't drink. Granted, nether of them ate anything since they started working so they were not the greatest when it came to drinking at the moment. So the alcohol hit them hard.

Before Logan could reply, Glynda kissed him softly on the lips. A light kissed filled with such emotion that Logan could feel Glynda tremble as her hands ċȧrėssed his face. Glynda pulled back and looked at him with tear filled eyes. Logan could see that she used the alcohol as an excuse to give herself false confidence to confess.

Logan was stunned. He never thought about what he did to help her as anything more then being kind. Yet, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that he had feelings for her. More then just affection, and more then just a fleeting love interest. He just never realized it until now.

Glynda pulled back, fearing the worst when Logan lightly stroked her cheek with his thumb. Logan went in this time, as he kissed her, it was one full of affection not ŀust nor sėxuȧŀ dėsɨrė. Just love. Logan stood up slow with her, and as the two of them made it away from the table, he wrapped the both of them in his wings' embrace and fell to the floor. That night, the two of them stayed in each others arms. Uncaring of anything outside the embrace, only focusing on each other. Night passed into a brisk morning and the two still held each other. Even when the two of them left to a bed, nether let the other go.

Hello, guys. It's your author.

I just wanted to thank those who stayed with me this far and ask you a question. How was the revel of Logan's love interest? I know it was pretty obvious who it was gonna be. I wanted to have Neo as the love interest but from the way I was writing, I just couldn't get a cohesive story around her. With Glynda, I had it basically planned out for me. Though I tried to make it seem like it was over a long time that their loved bloomed for each other.

And trust me, I have a 7,000 word chapter for cliff notes and story lines that I have been deleting as I got to make sure I follow it. And so far I have been. Yes, I had trouble here and there figuring out what to write, but that's half of the fun of writing!

Anyway, I'm getting side tracked. My questions are:

2.) Did I do a good revel for their emotions to one another?

3.) Did it feel rushed or forced in some way?

4.) How could I have made it better? (No I am NOT doing a sėx scene as I don't want to or feel I am capable enough to write one.)

5.) If you felt if something is off in the story in general, what was it and how could I have made it better?

Please answer as I wish you to talk to me more as I am trying to branch out to write an original story after this and maybe more. That's all I have to say and ask.

Thank you.
