Fairy Tail Furious

Chapter 14

Natsu sighed and ran his hands through his salmon colored hair. "I know how you feel about guns and bombs and all that, so I figured a taser would be better for you to deal with until you're more comfortable. You do get that you're going to jump onto a train, right? There is a high chance that there will be people trying to guard, and I can't be in there to watch you, since I'm driving the car..."

Lucy smiled at him and rolled in her seat to balance on her hip, buckling the taser to a loop on her shorts so he could see it. A faint blush was on her cheeks as she grinned at him. "I'll be fine, Natsu," she assured him. "I took gymnastics for a while and I've done some crazy things whenever I got out of the house in high school. Even if it's a moving train, it won't be much different as jumping cliffs and exploring caves with no ropes."

"I just don't want you to get hurt, Luce," Natsu grumbled and started the car. He had changed a while ago into dark red jeans and a black sleeveless shirt that clung to his hard body pretty tightly. "It's your first job, and I have no idea why Gramps would call you to do it. Not like I'm talking down about you or anything, but we are suppose to be a gang, remember?"

"I know, and I'm not going to get hurt," Lucy's brown eyes softened at seeing him being tense and stiff, which was new to Lucy having someone worry for her openly like this. It felt nice. "Jellal said he'd take care of me, as ordered by Erza, if anything were to happen. Him and Erza looked at the case file of where it's the safest place to enter the train, so I'm not doubting them."

Natsu sighed again, but didn't say anything. Lucy perked and hugged her legs up to the seat. "And you're going to be driving, right? You'll catch me if I have to jump off of the train because of a bomb, or something, wouldn't you?"

"Of course I would!" he exclaimed, hitting the gas as he sped out into the road. Lucy took a peek in the rearview mirror to see the last remaining members of the garage getting ready to head out to the destination: an abandoned parking lot outside of the city that is close to the rail tracks, as ordered by the anonymous employer to group up. "No way would I let you fall or get hurt, Luce. I hate to sound like a hounding mother and all, but please, please be careful!"

"You got it, Natsu. I'll make sure to stay with Jellal the whole time and I'll use the taser on anyone who tries to get to me," Lucy gave him a thumbs up, adjusting the straps of the small backpack on her shoulders, instructed by Erza to carry the packages easier than by hand. "It's going to be fine. I'll be tough as you and kick some ass. You've done stuff like this before, right? Jumping on trains and stuff."

"Trains, trucks, trailers...and every job I did on foot was pretty difficult," Natsu sighed again. "Although...a few times I've kinda got into it with Gray while we were suppose to get these other guys, and they were just as confused. Erza would get mad about that, and scare the crap out of us."

"Damn it, Natsu..."

"There was also this one time Gray left his pants while we were suppose to be sneaking in and out of this trailer that was carrying guns, and we had to do back and get them because the idiot has a freakin' stripping habit," Natsu said outloud, shrugging. "Then, we couldn't find his freakin' pants, and we started arguing and we didn't realize that the guards showed up."

Lucy snorted. "Then what happened?" she asked.

"We took care of them eventually, but they stood there like idiots watching us... They thought that ice prick and I were a couple, or something," Natsu gagged. "I don't want to talk about it anymore, please, Luce."

Lucy nodded and turned on the radio, twisting the knob to the station that connected Natsu's Lancer with Erza's Toyota Supra, where they could hear Jellal and Erza conversing. "Erza!" Lucy chirped with a bright grin on her face.
