Her blue eyes flickered over to her husband with a soft expression on her face, despite the bad things that had happened before, she knew that without a doubt she would never change a thing.
"We did it." She said softly.
Gray rubbed his head against...
"I see it, there!!" Natsu pointed to the building up ahead as he lead the group towards it, his blood pumping at the prospect of finally finding Gray and knocking some sense into him.
"It looks like an old, abandoned church." Lucy observed, her eyes narrowing at the ominous feeling in the air.
"What do we do, Natsu?" Happy asked, wondering if they were going to launch a frontal attack or be quiet about sneaking in. He really hoped it was the latter since they had no idea how big the group was.
"Attack, of course!" Natsu said in a duh tone.
Haru sighed, not at all surprised by his suggestion. Before Natsu and Happy could attack, both Lucy and Haru, the reasonable of the group, grabbed them, hoping they didn't alert the enemy of their presence just yet.
"What the hell, guys!?" Natsu gave them an annoyed look.
"We don't even know who we're up against this time." She said, giving him a chiding look. "We can't just barge in there."
Natsu made a face, a frown on his lips. "But, Gray might be in there, y'know."
"That's exactly why we need a plan." Haru said, giving a pointed look, he wouldn't usually mind going with Natsu's plans but right now they couldn't afford for Gray to find out they know about his location.
He blinked, "Oh, right."
"We'll sneak in from under them with Virgo's help!" Lucy said, holding a golden gate key. Natsu made an 'O' shape with his mouth and nodded. The blonde's expression changed. "Alright then, Virgo!! Gate of the Maiden, open thee! Vir-" She was stunned when Virgo appeared bound by rope. "Go?" She crouched down, panicked look on her face. "H-HEY! WHAT HAPPENED?! ARE YOU OKAY?!"
"Who did this to you?!" Natsu exclaimed, ready to fight someone.
The pink haired spirit gave them a blank expression. "Don't mind me..." A small grin appeared on her lips as she stood. "I had some free time so I decided to punish myself."

Lucy's brow twitched as she gave her friend a weird look. "What's wrong with you..."
Haru sighed, his eyes flickering away from the weirdness to the place where Gray was. He wondered how the ice mage was going to react to them showing up. Would he be angry? Happy? Shocked? Well he didn't care. As long as the ice mage listened to him and tells him the truth for leaving his wife behind so abruptly.
