Logan: fiddles with a worn photo Damn it, I can't remember her face! Why the hell can't I remember?!
WhimsicalIsland
Sounds like a great motivator
Logan: snaps his fingers And you know what else motivates me, Sylveon? Being part of something bigger than myself.
WhimsicalIsland
Like a team environment?
Logan: nods enthusiastically Exactly! Being part of a team, having comrades who got my back, it's like one big family.
WhimsicalIsland
That's a great feeling isn't it? To feel like you belong
Logan: takes a deep breath Yeah, it feels like the whole fucking world belongs to me when I'm with my team.
WhimsicalIsland
Well you do. Your part of Xavier's and you've made lots of friends along the way
Logan: looks at MidnightOasis with a mix of gratitude and sadness You know, Sylveon, I never really had a sense of belonging growing up.
WhimsicalIsland
That's too bad. It must've been tough to switch between families
Logan: pauses, his voice cracking slightly Yeah, it was tough. Each new family wanted to change me, make me into someone I wasn't.
WhimsicalIsland
That must've sucked
Logan: clenches his fists, voice filled with anger You have no idea, Sylveon. They treated me like I was some kind of broken toy that could be fixed.
WhimsicalIsland
I think that's part of why you became a hero. You didn't want to be 'fixed' but you wanted to fix things
Logan: takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself You're right, Sylveon.
WhimsicalIsland
I'm always right lol
Logan: raises an eyebrow Always right, huh? Well, Sylveon, if being right means being a pain in the ass, then I guess you're doing great.
WhimsicalIsland
Lmao
Logan: laughs Hey, being a pain in the ass is a good thing! It means I keep people on their toes, you know? Like a little wake-up call.
WhimsicalIsland
True
Logan: smirks Besides, being a pain in the ass is a whole lot more fun than being boring.
WhimsicalIsland
That's true
Logan: stands up and cracks his knuckles Alright, Sylveon, let's shake off this heavy topic. How about a little training session?
WhimsicalIsland
Sure!
Logan: grins mischievously Alright, Sylveon, get ready for a wild ride!
WhimsicalIsland
Do you want to go to a gym or are we going to fight?
Logan: narrows his eyes Nah, let's just find an open field and let loose. I'll show you some of my tricks!
WhimsicalIsland
What tricks?
Logan: starts pacing around the area Alright, Sylveon, check this out!
WhimsicalIsland
Ok
Logan: quickly runs to a nearby tree, leaps off it, and performs a mid-air flip Watch this! lands gracefully, ready for another move
