Erza pov
Seeing Jellal again made my heart skip so many beats at once. I know i was the one who called him but damn. Even while saving Lucy he looked sexy as hell. No no no..Erza stop it. Now is not the time!.

I cleared my throat, clearing my thoughts in the process and reached my arms out to get Lucy. Moments before my finger tips touched her arm a pair of hands swooped her away from me. I gaped staring at the person who did so in awe.

"Natsu-"

"Luce.." he sobbed faintly as he broke down in tears. His bangs covered his face casting a shadow of his eyes. "Why is it always you...why cant it just be me for once..." he rested his forehead against hers and closed his eyes allowing the tears to fall freely.

The smile fell from my face as i took notice of Lucy's appearance. My blood boiled in anger but that was soon washed away with sadness as i watch Natsu turn around and slowly carry her inside the base.

I was about to follow them when suddenly Jellal grabbed my hand and pulled me towards his body.  His arms wrabbed around me as he pulled me closer as if i wasnt close enough. I could feel his chin resting on top of my head.

I clutched his shirt and sobbed on his shoulder. Its my fault i couldnt protect her the way i promised my uncle i would. I'm a failure...

Natsu pov
"Luce.." my voice trailed off as i sat on the couch waiting for Wendy and Cana to finish clean Luce up. My heart ached more with every passing moment. I'm such a disappointment. I failed her once again....why...why...WHY?! DAMMIT WHY!!

Gritting my teeth, i walked down the empty halls, passing members at the enterance. Turning the knob and opening the iron door i walked into the room where Yuna and Bun Bun sat back to back. As horrible as it was, i remember when Luce and i sat like this when we were kidnapped once.

I walked over to Yuna and crouched infront of him., taking note of Bun Bun who was sound asleep. Yuna looked at me and watched as i peeled the tape off of his mouth.
"So "son".." i said putting emphasis on the word son. "Tell me everything you know".

Jellal pov
Here i stood infront of all the members who were present with Erza beside me. My team  of four stood behind us, lined up shoulder to shoulder as if they were statues.

Once everyone was quiet i began introducing them one by one. Levy Redfox being the first one. Although she was deaf, she was extremely smart  and strategetic. Next being Gajeel Redfox, Levy's husband and our spy and assassin. Next is Juvia Lockser our poison and weapon crafter, also Gray's baby mother. Last is Gray Fullbuster, our sniper and strategic assistant. Juvia's baby daddy.

Our team may be an odd bunch but we can definitely get stuff done.

"Please rely on us and allow us to take matters into our hands" Levy signed as Gajeel translated for everyone to hear. They nodded in understanding and began doing whatever business they had to do.

I grabbed Erza's hand  and led her to the bar for a drink. Hopefully we'll be able to get her life back in order. I want nothing more than for Erza to be happy. Its what i want most in the world.

Wendy pov
I stared at Lucy's pale face as i wiped the sweat that trinkled beside her forehead. The room wasnt exactly hot so external temperature couldnt be the cause. I dropped the towel in the bowl of water and took one last look at her face before walking outside to call Natsu who was standing beside the door and staring at the wall blankily. Cana left a few minutes ago to continue to run the bar she worked at.

"Natsu..." as soon as i called his name his head perked up. The first thing i saw was his red puffy tear filled eyes that held so much regret, guilt, sadness and anger. He stood up and walked up to me slowly. "She was raped..." My voice trailed off in disbelief.

The signs were obvious...its just that my mind couldnt comprehend it no matter how much i analysed the situation. I saw Natsu's hand clench and unclench as he grit his teeth and stared off into nothingness.

"I'll leave you two alone" i spoke quietly as he walked pass me to Lucy's bedside. I shut the door and walked away dragging my feet along. Why is it always Lucy..
