A Spark Chapter 2
No Longer Grounded

Laxus POV
The reaction to seeing Blondie in my arms was instantaneous the moment I stepped into the guild.
They all went stone still before rushing towards me and blasting me up with question after question.
Just as my patients was running thin, getting ready to zap the present 'nuisance' when Gramps came down from the stairs "Quiet, you brats, haven't you noticed she's fast asleep"?! And just like before everyone only just notices she's out like a light, causing them all to shut their traps. Inwardly, I grin because I've never seen it so quiet before.
Gramps walks up to me with a question in his eyes but I remain quiet. "Laxus, come with me to my office, with Lucy". He begins walking up the stairs and I start to follow with the sleeping girl still in my arms.
Once through the door, I set Blondie down gently in an armchair while I sit in the one next to it.
I look towards the old man sitting on the desk who in turn is looking straight back at me, after a few moments he sighs in exasperation.
"What happened Laxus, and tell me from beginning to end".
So I explained everything, from her being responsible for destroying the Infinity Clock, to her slight physical change.
The only thing I didn't mention was when she was pretty much clothe less in my lap. I internally groan as I think back to how smooth her creamy, faultless skin felt flushed against me.

'Get it together Laxus! For peats sake, why can't I stop think thinking about that blonde? I mean sure, she's got all the right curves, she's intelligent, she has got a sunny personality that will burn you if you piss her off, she is a feisty one at that to, than there's those outfits she wears, all tight tops and short skirts, bikini tops and mini-shorts that barely cover her round ass, 'Growls mentally' I'd love to just rip off all of her clothes and see what's underne- No! I am not fantasizing about a girl who I don't even know personally'!
I come out of my daze to see Gramps looking at me funny, I then realise that I'm still holding said blonde in my arms.
"Thankyou Laxus, that's all you need to tell me, do you think you could take Lucy back to her apartment, I'm not sure I want one of her teammates to do it because they may wait till she wakes up and pile her with questions". I give a short nod before turning back to the door when Gramps called out.
"And Laxus".
I just grunt back in reply.
"Thank-you, for bringing back our light". I hear the sincerity in his words.
"I was just helping out a guildmate old man". Then I walk out the door and down the stairs, unaware that the man behind me is smiling proudly as a guildmaster and a grandfather.
Makarov POV
As I watch Laxus leave, I can't help but feel happy about how far he has come.
If this was Laxus Pre-Fantasia, he wouldn't have bothered to help out, but now, he cares for his guildmates, old and new, powerful or not.
The guild is still a little weary of him, but that's only because he still is withdrawn, he will acknowledge them with a small wave or nod of the head, which is a lot more than just outright ignoring them or insulting them.
I can tell he still feels the guilt from Fantasia and it is something he'll probably never rid of unless he can be comfortable around everyone.
'Oh, Laxus, if only you could see how human you truly are'. I think as I reminisce back to when he was a cheery, optimistic little boy.
'You may never be that little boy again, but you're are still a good person'
I feel tears coat my cheeks as the memories of that dreadful day…
The day my little Laxus left me, the day I lost my daughter in law.
Laxus's POV
Walking down the steps I see flame brain and his team have arrived back at the guild, looking a tad agitated by something and everyone knows why.
'Lucy'
Well their going to have to wait a little longer on that little irriatation.
I need to inform them about staying away so I'll do it now.
"Hey, Erza"! I call, ignoring the other two for now since they'll just protest unless I can get Erza on them, which just means I need to say exactly what needs to be said.
"Yes, Laxus". She eyes me wearily as she sees I'm still holding Lucy in my arms.
"I need to inform you… and the two idiots behind you". I get an indignant "Hey"! from both of them before continuing as if nothing had happened.
"Orders straight from Gramps to stay away from Blondies apartment for the next few weeks". Let's just say that it didn't go over well with them as Natsu started growling with flames coming off his fists, Gray's hands coated with frost, Erza summons a large sword before pointing it threateningly at me.
"Explain". The Titania commanded but I just stood there, my stoic mask is on firm and is not planning on cracking before these 'Flame-Heads'
At the same time, realise that Lucy had woken up now and I felt her tense as if waiting to lunge at any second, the other three don't seem to notice as they glare at my now slowly degrading mask as I start wondering why they are acting so hostile.
'News flash, you tried to kill them as well as turned their friends to stone and made them fight eachother'
Oh yeah, what am I thinking, of course they wouldn't trust me, even if I am a guild-mate, well, may as well just get used to it.
I harden my apathetic gaze as say the next few words
"Why should I have to explain an order given out by OUR Guild-master"? I say bluntly.
This sets them as they suddenly launched.
Before they could get any further, all hell breaks loose

Or should I say Heaven…
ToBeContinued
Hey guys! Sorry if it's bad, but I've been suffering from sleep deprivation as of late, which means most of my free time is focused on catching up on it.
Well if you liked it then thankyou
If not then I will take helpful criticism only.
So, anyone wondering what that ending was about?
Well you'll find out next time on my little bookself (the self was intentional)
