Chapter Text
Thomas didn't even want Logan there.
Stood rigid among the others as the topic dragged on, discussion at a standstill because the rest of them were too busy with a distraction of semantics, Logan stared at Thomas.
It was clear he didn't care that Logan was there. He hadn't asked for his input... Hell, he hadn't even called on Logan for this discussion, it was Virgil who had done that, summoning him simply because it was bothering him to have Logan absent.
The moment he opened his mouth to speak, however, he was cut off by everyone, and Thomas had said nothing about it.
It was as if Logan wasn't there at all, as far as Thomas was concerned.
If he did speak up again, Thomas wouldn't listen anyway. He never cared for his suggestions, he always dismissed them out of hand.
The discussion around him grew into argument. He swallowed. At least he wasn't causing it this time...right?
He glanced around at the others, all looking to each other, so emotional and wrapped up in their defenses.
Logan didn't matter to them, either, of course.
He knew that. He had often questioned it... Well, he hoped, perhaps, that they did, once upon a time, but no longer. He knew the truth and he had since accepted it.
They didn't want Logan there.
