At first Lucy looked confused, but then her memories were taken back to the Grand Magic Games. Back to Gray’s fight… Suddenly his named was clear to her. Clearer than she would’ve thought.

“R-Rufus…” she blurted out, her eyes wide.

”You remember me I see,” Rufus replied sophisticatedly, crossing his legs where he stood. “I know something about your brother. Luke Heartfilia.”

Widening her eyes, Lucy clenched the blanket covering her still sore body 

“You could start with telling me where he is, and why you took my memories,” Lucy said coldly.

“Okay, then,” he replied, rising his one hand, he made it glow slightly. “I can show you it. It’ll be easy!”

Lucy nodded, leaning back against the wall in exhaustion. Why did everything still hurt? I didn’t make any sense to her. 

“Fine by me!” Lucy replied.

“Yeah, but it’s not completely fine by me!” Natsu announced, stepping forwards. Crowded gasps were heard in the background continued with muffled mumbling. 

Happy, who sat on Natsu’s shoulder supported him with a determined: “Aye, sir!” 

“What if he’s tricking us, Luce?”

Rufus put on a fake offended facade. “Excuse you,” he said, lowering his hand. “I can assure you that I’m telling the truth. Why else would I have come here?”

“He’s saying something,” Gray, who had just entered the room, commented as he leaned up against the infirmary wall half naked. “If we have an opportunity to get her memories back, we should take it!” 

Crossing his arms, Natsu pouted like a child. “Nobody asked you, stripper…” he muttered. 

“What did you call, Droopy-eyes!?” Gray exclaimed and was about to start a fight if it wasn’t for Erza who separated them so they fell over-dramatically to the ground. 

“Lucy, I think we should take the opportunity,” Erza suggested, crossing her arms. Lucy nodded eagerly as the suspense was killing her. “Then it’s settled!” 

“Wait!” Natsu objected, jumping to his feet with a raised index finger. “Is there a possibility that we can see what you are showing Lucy?”

Putting a hand to his chin, Rufus hummed as he though about it. “Well, I can’t show you everything that I’m showing Lucy here,” he replied. “Those are designed for her brain and only hers. But I can show you the basics - if it’s okay with Lucy, that’s it!”

Natsu looked hopeful at Lucy who just shrugged. “I don’t even know what I’m going to be showed,” Lucy admitted, smiling gently. “I don’t mind!”

“Okay, then,” Rufus smiled, rising his hand again. “Then let the show begin.”

((This is what Natsu and the rest of Team Natsu is showed)) 

The scene started by focusing on a little blonde girl, who sat on a couch, watching a baby boy in his cradle. With her feet she rocked the cradle slightly, making sure she didn’t overdid it. The baby was sound asleep, wrapped up in blankets.
