Lucy sat back stage fuming mad as the bass from the music filled the air, 'Why is it always me in this situation. I am not the only girl in Fairy Tail with a nice rack, so why is it always me be being shoved into these ridiculous costumes.' She was really tired of it actually, always being the decoy was making her feel like being eye candy was the only way she was an asset to her team, as if they didn't take her seriously at all. 'I thought they swore that the last time was the last time. I mean really, being all but served up on a silver platter for a damn overgrown pervy mole, who puts their friends trough that shit. Uggh why did I even agree to this. Oh yea that's right because Erza gave me that look like if I didn't take this mission with her she would skin me alive." She checked herself in the mirror one last time and rolled her eyes. 'Well at least there are no bunny ears, and the guys aren't here to hold this against me.'

A day prior her red haired team mate had approached the blonde with the idea of a girls only mission and at first she wanted to protest. Leaving Natsu behind never went over well and she did not want to deal with the incessant whining that was sure to come. However, when she voiced this concern Erza shot her with a glare that left no room to argue, and when the flame brain himself started to complain the requip mage knocked him out cold. So here she was backstage at a seedy club waiting to go onstage as a go-go dancer while Erza posed as a cocktail waitress. They were there to look out for potential human traffickers as girls have been disappearing from the town as of late and all signs pointed to this establishment. With a sigh she got ready to get the show on the road so to speak and climbed up to the cage above the crowd that would serve as her look out perch for the mission.

Cobra really hated clubs, way too many people in such a small space, and as if his heightened hearing being assaulted by the robot fucking noises that people considered music wasn't enough, his soul listening was giving him a migraine with all the horny fucks on the dance floor. He was so pissed that he was here, especially because his guild master thought that he was going to get away with the lie he told the team to get them there. Sure there may be truth to what the former slave driver had said, the traffickers definitely could have a dark guild affiliation, but that was not why they were here. Nope not by a long shot. They were here because that damn red haired, hammer wielding lunatic was here for the very same job, and Jellal was using it as a cover to see the chick. It's not even like they were fucking, no not by a long shot. Jellal was to fucking repressed with guilt to make that move and for as fierce as the lunatic could be she turned into a bumbling school girl at the thought. So in short they were all in this hell hole for some stolen glances and blushes.

He was just about to let out a frustrated growl when he caught a familiar sent of strawberries and stardust that could only belong to a certain blonde fairy, 'Of course she is here, wonder if the rest of the demolition crew is around here too?' He decided to hone his listening in to her soul, even though he had yet to see her the direction of her sent was enough to get a read.

'Why is it always me in this situation. I am not the only girl in Fairy Tail with a nice rack, so why is it always me be being shoved into these ridiculous costumes. I thought they swore that the last time was the last time. I mean really, being all but served up on a silver platter for a damn overgrown pervy mole, who puts their friends trough that shit. Uggh why did I even agree to this. Oh yea that's right because Erza gave me that look like if I didn't take this mission with her she would skin me alive. Well at least there are no bunny ears, and the guys aren't here to hold this against me.'

Cobra snorted at her inner monologue, at least he wasn't the only one dragged to this shit hole against his will. 'So ash for brains and ice prick are sitting this little show out huh, interesting. And just how many times do they put this girl on decoy duty that she is this pissed about it, too bad about the bunny ears though I'm sure a nice little tail would go nice on that tight little ass of hers. Well at least I'll have something to look at while we waste our night here.'

And if it was just on cue the little vixen herself walked up to the cage that was hovering slightly over head. And when Cobra saw her all his senses all but shut off except the sight of her. He raked in her body all the way from her platform combat boots that reached to her knees up her delicious fishnet covered thighs attached to a guarder belt that lead to the tightest black leather booty shorts he had ever seen that rested just below her sinful hip bones. Her skin was bare up until right above her navel where a black shear laced corset started and only became opaque at her generous cleavage which was pressed up in a rather impressive display. She had a studded dog collar choker on and her golden locks where pulled up in twin tails. He also noticed fingerless studded gloves donned her hands, to hide her guild mark no doubt. Her make up was dark complete with a sultry smokey eye look and black lipstick. As if her little outfit wasn't enough to break his brain she grabbed the bars of the cage turned her back to him and slid down slowly, paused for a second and began her assent to only bend forward and shake her ass to the beat of the music. He could feel the sweat drop down his brow. He was so captivated by the little show she was putting on that he didn't even notice his teammate's approach.

"Holly fuck little miss princess should dress like that more often." Came the statement from Midnight that brought Cobra back to himself with a jump. "Fuck man don't sneak up on me like that you narcoleptic asshat!" Cobra sneered.

"Was not trying to dick, in fact I thought it was actually impossible, but I guess I could see why you were a little bit distracted. God I'd love to put a leach on that." The reflector mage responded. "But what's the little fairy doing here anyway, moon lighting perhaps? Hey do you think she gives private shows because I'd be all for that."

Cobra was a little more than irritated with his friend, sure he was thinking along similar lines, but the idea of the gothic mage taking those liberties with the girl did not sit well with him for some reason. "She and the shebeast are here on a mission, related to ours, the lunatic is over their serving shots" he pointed to the corner of the club.

"So that's why we had to come here, I knew the story felt off, well that explains a lot." Midnight sighed he did not want to interrupt his nap for some dumb shit like his guild master seeing his not girlfriend. 'Well maybe if he's not getting laid at least I can, with miss priss dressed like that she is just my type, maybe I can get her to leave some black lipstick rings around my cock.'

"I can still hear you, asshole, and good luck with that, she is under cover not going through an identity crises she is still the same little poptart she has always been, besides I doubt she is into dudes that wear more makeup than she does, not to mention the whole you trying to sacrifice her to a clock thing." Cobra snapped.

"Oh like you had nothing to do with that plan either buddy. But hey maybe she is a masochist, in fact that would be hot as fuck." Midnight shot back.

"You're a sick fuck you know that right, like I'm an asshole sure, but you are twisted as fuck. Not even touching the things that you don't voice out loud. Besides she wouldn't be the submissive type, I mean look at her weapon of choice, chicks that wield whips are not the type to sit back and take it." Was the poison slayers reply. At this the Reflector Mage shrugged and just went back to his lecherous borderline sadistic fantasies, which Cobra decided to block out by once again focusing on the caged blonde bombshell.

'Loke are you in position, anything standing out to you?'

'Besides your radiant beauty love? Not yet. But I must say Princess you should consider this for a new look, you look positively edible. '

'DAMNIT LOKE focus on what you are supposed to be doing, you are not supposed to be ogling me you fucking flirtatious feline.'

'MMMM Lucy your use of alliteration is almost as tantalizing as the sway of your hips'

'I swear to the Spirt King himself if you do not refrain from thinking with your small head right now I am going to Lucy Kick you to Edolas and Lucy Ashley will kick you back!"

'If only you'd give me the chance to show you, you would know that nothing about it is small'

'That's it I'm closing your gate you clearly can't get your shit together, I swear Taurus is less of a perv than you are being right now'

'You can go ahead and try Princess, but I'll just come back on my own power, missing you dancing around in that get up is just not an option. But don't fret beautiful I am on full alert I know the stakes, just having a little fun. See anything from up there?'

'No this fucking fog is really making the advantage of height nonexistent, soo not worth me making a fool out of myself for the thousandth time. But I can still feel the fucking perverts staring at me even if I can't make them out. Go find Erza and report back.'

'On it,… But in all seriousness Lucy contact me before you get out of that cage, I don't want to leave you alone in that attire with slave traders on the loose I'll walk you back stage'

'Don't worry I don't plan on making a repeat show of being almost sold into sex slavery I have to dance for 10 songs then get a break we are on the 3rd now.'

Cobra was confused at first by the presence of another voice in her mind until the realization hit him 'She must be able to communicate telepathically with her spirits. Wonder what she meant a repeat of being sold into slavery? Just how many people have tried to kidnap this chick.' He would admit that he was highly amused with the witty banter the girl had come up with, and she was far more crass than she usually came across. The way she refused to put up with shit had him liking her for more than just her body.

As Lucy was dancing the fog was starting to clear a little just as her fifth song began so she made sure to focus on the crowd now that her visibility was back. 'Good now I can at least be a little fucking useful instead of just shacking my ass.' She scanned the crowd while dancing and almost froze when she noticed more than a few familiar faces. In the direction Loke was headed towards Erza she noticed a familiar tint of blue hair with an unmistakable facial marking. 'No Fucking way! So that's what this whole fucking thing was about. She fucking used me to see her fucking boy toy, and didn't even tell me about it. That's why I'm up here fucking wearing barely anything while she prances down there so she can be free to fucking flirt. That's it I don't give a fuck if she is S Class or the most terrifying female I have ever met. I am going to murder her and it is going to be slow and painful. I am going to get Virgo to get me magic restricting cuffs then I am going to get Laki to lend me on of her torture devices….. Wait a second if he is here where are his lackeys, I know they wouldn't want to drug to this shit hole under false pretenses either. I could get Merudy to use a sensory link…wait no she probably loves the idea of this fuckery. HMMM Midnight could conjure a pretty gruesome night mare for the two, but then I'd actually have to speak to him and he freaks me the fuck out. Angel would be up for some torture most likely, but I'm fairly sure she hates me still. Richard and Racer would be of no use….Ohhhh I know.' Just as she thought of the perfect conspirator in her revenge her eyes locked onto his sole Indigo one. 'Hello Cobra I know you can hear me. Want to join me on a little revenge I know you have a score to settle for that little hammer incident'

Heard her he had, ever single devious thought and torture plot and he could only meet her gaze with a sinful smirk that promised mischief and a nod. At this Lucy's eyes sparkled and her grin grew wide and with a wink she thought to him. 'Okay two more songs and I get a break you can escort me backstage where we can have a more two sided conversation.' She waited for his nod and then concentrated on contacting Loke.

'Loke did you or Erza find anything out yet?'

'No she hasn't seen anything out of sorts yet. But I'm not sure she is entirely focused either, did you know that Jellal is here.'

'Not until I saw him when the fog cleared, believe me I am super pissed about the whole thing. I'm off after the next song don't bother coming over keep your eyes out for the targets, I had a little mental chat with Cobra he is going to escort me backstage. He and I have some plotting to get to where our little friends are concerned. Don't you dare let her know I'm on to her little game. She is going to pay for putting me in this damn cage.

'Lucy do you think that is the best decision on either count of being alone with Cobra, or taking on Erza. He did try to sacrifice you to a clock and you don't usually have a death wish.'

'First he can hear you. Second I'm fairly certain that was Midnight's master plan, third you have seen Scary Lucy right….Erza doesn't stand a chance because this isn't even Violent Scary Lucy this is plotting lay in wait Scary Lucy, and lastly you know as well as I that yesterday's enemy can be today's greatest ally.'

'Uh ok Lucy you may be taking Capricorns lessons on War Strategies a little too close to heart '

'You can never take proper strategy techniques for granted Loke. Just handle your job I'm off.'

With that the last song ended and Lucy made her decent from the cage via the ladder. Cobra was waiting for her at the bottom clearly enjoying the view as she climbed down backwards. As she was about five feet from the bottom she slipped on a rung and began to fall, but before she could even let out a yelp she was in the arms of the Poison Dragon Slayer.

"Falling for me already Star Bright?" he stated with a smug smirk plastered onto his face.

'Great another nickname just what I need' She thought with a groan.
