Logan watched as the heart and Grimm slowly turned to black particles and disappear as they burned, not caring that the mountain that the Grimm was possessing was crumbling down around him. With a sigh, Logan turned and left as bits of rock started to fall. It didn't take that long for him to leave the cavern where the heart was located. Once outside, Logan took flight and left the mountain to crumble down.

Ozpin: "How did it go?" Ozpin asked impatiently once Logan returned.
Salem: "Dear, he has just returned." Salem chided him, seeing just how tired Logan was.
Logan: "The Titan is no more." Logan said, not caring for formalities since they were in a conference with the other Kingdoms. "Vytal is safe and all the Grimm with it have been eliminated."
.
There was a resounding cheer from the screens as Logan turned to leave. But a single voice cut through the cheers like a cannon shot.
.
Atlas: "How?" The voice of the Atlas representative spoke, and surprisingly, not Ironwood. "Less than a week ago, you were begging Atlas of a Manta craft for so hair-brained scheme. Now you're telling us that the Grimm is no more? I find that highly suspicious."
Mistral: "Really?" The Mistral representative spoke up. "He gets rid of something that could wipe out any of our Kingdoms, and you find that suspicious?" The rep argued. "Do you speak for all of Atlas, or just yourself?"
Vale: "I agree, that was going too far!" The Vale representative shouted. "He's a hero!"
Atlas: "All I was asking was how he managed to accomplish such a feat." The Atlas rep calmly spoke up in his defense. "All I find suspicious is that he managed to do it alone. And against a force that numbered far exceeded any Kingdom's standing force."
.
Logan just sighed in annoyance since he expected this from one of them and Atlas was his top suspect.
.
Logan: "Each of the Kingdoms will be getting a full report on all actions from the week and leading up until I had just got back at a later date." Logan said simply as he turned to leave. "Right now, I have a wife and child I dearly miss. That is more important than this debacle. Plus, I need rest."
Atlas: "Very well. Atlas will be looking forward to the report." The Atlas rep sighed, seeing that he wouldn't get much out of Logan at this point. "Go rest, you've more than earned it."
Logan: "You don't need to tell me twice." Logan muttered but they all heard it and watched as Logan stumbled out of the conference room.

Logan's eyes drooped as he stumbled his way towards his dorm where he know that Glynda and Dorothy were waiting for him. The announcement that the Grimm Titan that was heading for Vale had been defeated was already broadcasted to the entire Kingdom. Logan's name was on everyone's lips as he did his best to hide away from the crowds that were partying in celebration. For Logan's victory, for the death of the Titan, and for just surviving.
.
Logan couldn't care, not when what he fought for was waiting for him. Even as his body was crying out for rest, Logan forced himself to move. With arms and soles of lead, he all but crawled to his dorm. Desperate to make sure his family was safe, even if he knew they always were. As he got to the Teacher's dorm, Logan used the wall to support himself as he made his way home. Once the door was in sight, a drowsy smile made its way onto his face. Logan could feel his steps get lighter as he got closer.
.
Glynda: "Hey there, hero." Was the first thing Logan heard as he opened the door from Glynda.
Logan: "I'm back." Logan sighed happily as he collapsed forward.
Glynda: "Welcome home." Glynda sighed as she caught Logan's body, the familiar warmth seeping into her arms.
.
With a wave of her hand, the two of them were levitated up by Glynda's semblance and brought to the couch where Dorothy was playing with blocks, or rather, chewing on them. At the sight of her two parents floating, Dorothy dropped the block she had and raised her arms into the air at them. Glynda sighed and set the both of them down on the couch then used her semblance to pick up and pull Dorothy to her. Dorothy quietly yawned and snuggled into Logan's arms due to the warmth he was giving off. Glynda sighed and turned the tv on and cuddled with the two of them, soon succumbing to the lull of sleep due to Logan's warmth.

Three days quickly flew by for Logan and his family after he wrote and sent off the reports that the Kingdom representatives wanted. For Logan, the days passed by peacefully. For others, they were celebrating the defeat of The Mountain, for three days. Crime in the Kingdom was at a low during this time as even the criminals knew that this wasn't the time for anything bad. Joy and jubilation were flowing through the streets as people partied and celebrated life in general.
.
For Logan, he was spending the majority of his time with his wife and daughter. Playing with Dorothy or even just cuddling with Glynda, Logan did what he could to spend time with the two of them. Though, Logan and Glynda did have a bit of private time when Dorothy was asleep.
.
Logan sighed in contentment as he and Glynda had just finished up their private time for that moment. Glynda lay next to him with a content smile on her face as the two of them were covered by a thin sheet. While the two of them were basking in the afterglow of their relationship, Dorothy started crying causing the two to groan and sit up. Seeing as it was eight in the morning, Logan offered to handle Dorothy if Glynda got breakfast going. Glynda agreed as the two of them quickly got dressed Logan walked out in only a pair of pants, leaving his torso exposed to the world and Glynda drooled slightly at it. Logan chuckled at his wife's action and left to go deal with Dorothy.
.
Logan entered the kitchen not long after and set a still teary-eyed and snot-covered Dorothy into her highchair. He had just grabbed a napkin to clean Dorothy off when Glynda walked in, in just her bathrobe and from what Logan knew about her, she wasn't wearing anything underneath it. Logan sighed but a smirk tugged at his lips at his wife's antics.
.
Logan: "Hon, as much as I love and want to, please go get dressed." Logan sighed in defeat as he cleaned Dorothy. "I rather not have Dorothy wonder why I was wrestling with you on the table."
Glynda: "Don't worry, I have underwear on underneath this." Glynda teased Logan by showing a bra strap. "And we both know you'll never do that."
Logan: "...Really?" Logan asked while cocking his eyebrow.
Glynda: "We have too much decency to do that." Glynda rolled her eyes. "Now, eggs sound good?"
Logan: "Throw in some ham and cheese please?" Logan asked as he got up and grabbed Dorothy's baby food. She had a fondness for mashed and soft carrots.
.
Logan sighed as Glynda cooked and he fed Dorothy. A smile adorned his face as Logan spoon-fed Dorothy and as he heard the sizzle and smelled the scent of eggs being cooked. Logan couldn't help but find it all peaceful. An idyllic day with his family.
.
*Knock**Knock**Knock*

.
Logan sighed and quickly cleaned up Dorothy and headed for the door after hearing the knock. After giving Glynda a chaste kiss, Logan barely made it to the door when whoever was on the other side knocked again. From how polite it sounded, Logan assumed that it was Salem dropping by for morning tea with them while she played with Dorothy. Something she's come to love doing.
.
Logan's hand didn't even touch the door when it exploded open. Knocking his hand back and throwing him off balance. There, on the other side, was the familiar black hair and red eyes of Alica. Alongside her was a kid of about ten years of age with brown hair and glowing orange eyes. The Fall Maiden.
.
Alica: "Sorry for dropping in unannounced." Alica sweetly called out as Logan's ash shot at them. "Misty."
.
The fall Maiden, Misty's, eyes glowed brighter, and fire shot forth towards Logan's ash. Blocking it and obscuring the three of them from each other. Logan acted first and dove into the kitchen, grabbing Glynda with his ash and Dorothy into his arms as he made a break for the window. Giving Dorothy to Glynda, Logan ushered them out while an ash wall blocked a fireball launched towards them. Glynda didn't need to be told twice and was out the window and onto the ground before the second fireball impacted the ash wall Logan made. Once the two of them were out of the way, Logan dropped the ash wall and pulled his sword and [Ace of Spades] out of his [Inventory], and charged at the two.
.
Alica: "Oh, you'll play with us?" Alica teased as Misty blocked Logan's sword with one of her own. "Are you trying to cheat on your wife? Sorry, but you're not my type!" Alica shouted as she lunged at Logan with an ungloved hand.
.
Logan leaned back and put a round through Alica's hand who pulled it back and hissed at Logan as he blocked a sword swing from Misty. Logan retaliated with a double-cut that Misty blocked the first and dodged the second cut that nipped a bit of her hair as it flew up. A swift kick greeted Misty's face from Logan as he Lim bowed under another ungloved hand. The hand then clawed down in an attempt to scratch Logan's eyes out to which Logan used the side of his sword to smack the offending hand away. Logan then twisted out of the way to dodge Misty's sword and jumped back when Alica went for him again.
.
Alica: "You've always been a slippery one." Alica hissed as Logan calmly took a few steps back into the kitchen.
Logan: "And you," Logan breathed out, "are a crazy b*tch that wants to f*ck with death."
Alica: "Please, I'm not that messed up." Alica scoffed.
Logan: "You let your daughter get turned into a Grimm." Logan countered as he used his sword to send Dorothy's mashed carrots at them.
Misty: "..." Misty kept quiet during their little back and forth, but her eye quivered as she burned the carrots to ash which added to Logan's.
Alica: "She wasn't my daughter." Alica howled, "She was just a tool to be used. Though she was weak, she had her uses."
Logan: "And what a great mother you are." Logan sniped back before chuckling.
Alica: "What's so funny?"
Logan: "You forgot what I can do." Logan said as the flames from the fireballs Misty turned white and launched themselves at Alica and Misty.
.
The two dodged away with Misty trying to take control of the flames but failing and Alica doing her best not to touch them. Logan lunged at them as they dodged, aiming for Alica first since she was the more dangerous opponent. Logan engaged her, doing his best to incapacitate her before dealing with Misty. He managed to remove one of her arms and most of her left leg while cauterizing the wound, searing them closed to keep her from bleeding out.
.
During this time, Misty was looking around the kitchen. Seeing the highchair and partially made breakfast made her pause. Then a look of realization donned on her.
.
Misty: "Alica was lying." Misty muttered to herself as certain pieces of the puzzle she had started forming in her head. "He didn't kill them...
