=========================

Logan's on his way back to Florida, Tampa to be exact, his parents moved out there when he turned 18 to retire, they retired quite young, they had no reason to keep working since they made good money and had a lot of savings, Logan was the only one to stay back in England during that time though so he can finish his education, Megan went with them but when Logan was finished, he came over to America and hasn't really been back to the UK since, maybe he'll go back one day.

Desmond: "Let me know when you land?"

Logan's sitting in the airport with a simple carry on, he's not sure what kind of welcome he's going to get when he gets back but there's nothing here in LA for him no more, his friends are gone, the girl that said she loved him has taken most from him, all he has left is in Tampa, he has to head back, sure he has Desmond but with him on tour with his girlfriend right now, Logan's not gonna lodge in his place till he gets back, he'd rather head home to fix things.

Logan: Will do. Thanks again mate. I owe you one 👍

Logan isn't sure what he'd have done these past couple of weeks without Desmond, he's not even his oldest friend but he's proven why he's one of Logan's closest, Logan made sure to send the text before contacting his mum letting her know he's on his way, waiting at the airport now, sure he could get a private jet and fly over there much quicker but he's not like, so he got business class, not too flashy but it's comfortable.

Desmond: "You gave me a job, I'd say we're even."

Logan chuckled to himself, nothing he can do will ever repay Desmond for everything he's done for him during this really weird and messed up time for him, Logan is a great guy so when stuff like this comes out, people believe it because they want to believe that everyone is evil, they want to think that all people in society is bad, Logan learnt that pretty quickly after Lia posted that video, even though she's known for lying and using people, others still came at him calling him a monster, Logan didn't really want to think about it anymore, so he took his laptop and just messed around on YouTube, most the notifications are from his videos old and new giving him support but a good friend of his posted a video on the situation, Penguinz0.

Charlie: ... Before we get into this gobledy gook and why I think Sniperwolf needs a brain scan. I just want to say something on Logan's behalf...

Logan first met Charlie a few years back, near his 4th or 5th year on YouTube, they aren't best friends, more like neighbours because his parents live not too far from him, their not close friends, they've exchanged messages on line and greetings when they've met each other in the outside world but Logan's glad Charlie's on his side, he's seen Charlie destroy careers with just one 5 minute video before so it's nice to know he has some support.

Charlie: ... There's not many generally good people on this platform anymore but he's one of them. Without even reading these lies, I 100% don't believe them.

Logan's just sitting there with a smirk on his face, earbuds in leaning on his right hand while watching the video, he doesn't tend to watch YouTube all that often, he'd rather watch a Tv Show or something but he needed to know there was more in his corner then just his mother and Desmond, sure he's spoken to his dad but not as much as he used to, so he needed to hear something like this.

Charlie: I know Logan, his parents live not far from me, he's a great guy and Sniperwolf is full of horse doo-doo.

Charlie always had a way with words, always was able to make a pretty fucked up situation seem a little better then what it was, not just his situation but all of them, it's why so many people tune into him most days, he just seems to be able to make a bad thing better and that's what Logan needed, till his peace was disturbed.

Teenager: Hey, your Logan right? Can I get a picture?

Logan looked up to the lad and his small group behind him, he's not sure why there's a group of teenagers at the airport but here they are, Logan being who he is, agreed, he didn't see an issue with it, besides what's the worst that can happen, no one knew he is here so they can't be those weirdos that wait at the airports for them.

Logan: Sure.

They all seemed pretty excited when he moved his laptop to the side and stood to take pictures with them all, he wasn't overjoyed by this of course he didn't want to be around a bunch of fans during this time but he's not going to say no to his fans, they at least understood that and left Logan alone once they got a picture, said what they needed to say, Logan thanked them silently for that before getting ready to board the plane heading home to Tampa...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Logan made it back to Tampa for the first time in a while, his first time back in Florida for a while, he's actively tried to avoid it for obvious reasons, he's hoping not to come back to a cold shoulder but if he does, he's more than deserved it, however, as he left baggage and got through security, on the way down the corridor, he saw his mother, standing there looking over to him, he hasn't seen his mum in a long time, so long, he couldn't help but drop his bag and give her a large hug.

Logan: How bad are things...?

They got into the car and started the journey out of the city, Logan can drive but Lia convinced him to sell his car last year, she told him he wouldn't need it because she has a car and will drive them, Logan wasn't against the idea but now he knows why she did it, however, his mum seemed a little on edge about what he's done, she might say she's forgiving him but forgetting is entirely another thing.

Logan: ... Be honest, I'm a big boy now. I can take the truth.

Logan sat there in the passenger seat while his mum drove, she doesn't usually do the driving since she's not the tallest person, his mum's only 5'2 so she has to adjust the seat more than most and then his dad will get annoyed since he's taller than Logan, he's 6'1 so he tends to do most the driving mostly because he's constantly building things around the house and needs to go pick things up, Evie however is more than happy to see Logan again, she just wished he didn't put the family through all that he has.

Evie: Well, Megan's still not happy with you.

Evie glanced over to him while she tried to keep her eyes on the road, they aren't sure what he's been through these past couple of years, all they've got is what Lia says and what Logan's saying, of course they believe him, he wouldn't lie about this sort of thing nor do them in general, also he's her son, her only son what is she supposed to do other then forgive him.

Evie: Just give her some time.

Logan hummed, Megan was always the one with the temper when they were kids, not so much angry but she'd hold a grudge, that's for certain when they were kids, Logan lost one of her pencils in school, in return, Megan hide his PS2 controller, she didn't tell him where it was for a week, all because he lost a pencil, so he knows Megan won't forgive him for a while, doesn't mean he can't be upset about it though.

Evie: How are you?

Outside of text messages and phone calls, that's the first time he's been asked that question and honestly, it's easy to lie over the phone and while typing the words but actually lying to some one face to face isn't just something Logan's quite bad at but he also doesn't want to do it, even when he was younger, telling lies was never something he wanted to do, which is why most people don't tell him their secrets, only a few who knows he'll never spill them, keeping secrets is one thing, lying in general is another.

Logan: My career might be over. My future? Who knows... and everything I've accomplished has been pissed on from a great height...

Logan's seen people's online presents end with fewer accusations, he's not sure he'll ever be welcome back to doing what he loved, it's a weird career but it was his, he did what he wanted, played what he wanted and met a lot of great people, some were his fans turned into friends, others were people who started to play games with him but bailed out because it wasn't working out for them but their still his friends now, if it wasn't for him sitting there and playing video games, Logan never thought it would grow to this extent but there he was, none of that ever mattered though, not if it meant losing the people around him.

Logan: ... But I don't care about all that, I just want my friends and family back to the way things were.

Now that Lia's gone, he realises what is and what was the most important thing to him and that was the people around him, as soon as he broke up with her he really realised how alone he actually is now, he realised what he had done and he'll forever have to live like this, with this guilt but Evie didn't see that he'd need to feel like this for too long, Logan was always good at getting back to his feet when he fell down.

Evie: You're a good man Logan. You'll get back on your feet.

Evie is very proud of the things he's done, sure the past couple of years she hasn't seen or heard from him all too much and it's made things tough for them all but since he was a boy, he was always a good person, he never got into fights, he always protected the people around him, as his mother, hearing about everything he's done has made her very proud but what he's been through, she's heartbroken for him.

Logan: Thanks mum.

Logan needed to hear that and Evie needed to see her son smile, it's been a while since she's seen his real smile and it's a nice change, so when the car was parked, they got out and walked to the door, Logan was a little unsure about going in, worried about who else is in there but there wasn't anyone, it's just going to be, Logan, Evie and his father.

Logan: Hey dad.

Logan stood in the living room that opened up into the kitchen, Micheal was busy doing something, so busy that when Logan said that, he bumped his head on the kitchen counter, Evie chuckled to him while Logan just stood there, not sure what's going to happen, Michael looked over to his son, cleaning his hands as he stood up, no one said a word, not even when he marched over to Logan and pulled him into a hug.

Michael: Welcome home.

Evie smiled while holding back the happy tears as was Michael, Logan however let his tears flow, he thought he was alone in the world now but in reality he's never been alone, dropping his bag before putting his arms around his dad, both embracing each other in the middle of the living room, however, this was a little too soppy for the Kenway's making Michael break the hug and pat both Logan's upper arms.

Michael: Now man up and help me with this.

Logan chuckled while he went to help his dad with a busted pipe, it's not leaking or nothing but it's an easy fix, Michael used to run his own company, handyman services, he taught Logan a few things to make sure he'd be able to do this stuff for his family one day, Michael never taught him to push his family away though but it's nice to have him back again, whether it takes him a few days to get back on his feet or forever, Logan's home and that's all that matters...
