When Lucy finally came to her normal senses, she started to have a small freak out about the stranger that was in the cage next to hers. "Lucy..." Erza cooed, trying her best to stroke the blondes hair through all the bars. "It's okay, he's a friend." when the red head said that, the little girl calmed down and looked at the boy fully with big tears dripping out of her eyes. More rage filled in Natsu's chest when he saw those tears, blood mixing in with it from a deep yet small scratch on her eyebrow.

"Hi, my name's, Natsu. You're name's Lucy right?" he asked softly, which made her nod in response. "It's nice to meet you, Luce. Is it okay if I call you, Luce?" she nodded again. "You don't talk much huh?" she shook her head.

"S-sorry..." she whispered, making him blink in surprise before giving her a soft smile.

"There you go, now I get to hear your beautiful voice." he soothed as she came closer to him. The other two hybrids only blinked in surprise. The Lucy they knew never relaxed as quickly as she just did with Natsu. When they first met her, she wouldn't even look at them, just sit there in her own cage silently. But with him, she immediately looked like he wanted to be closer to him. Reaching his hands through the bars, he stroked the smeared blood on her cheek away making her close her eyes and sigh out softly.

Hearing the door slam open, the two jumped away from each other. Jude stood there with a broad smile on his face. Walking up to the two cages that held Natsu and Lucy in he glanced at the blonde. "Hello sweetheart," he spat but still sounded sickly kind. Reaching his hand through the bars in attempt to touch her face but she flinched away before he could do so. Laughing at this, the man turned his attention to the pinkette who sent the man a glare. "And you seem to be very comfortable with my daughter now," Natsu's eyes widened a bit. "Henry! Please bring in the new cage."

With that response, a man came in with an extended cage that could maybe hold three or so. Rolling Natsu's and Lucy's cages away, they replaced the empty spots where the old cages were before. Taking out Natsu, they stuffed him into it and closed it behind him. Whipping his head around, the pinkette watched as they took out the shaking girl who had tears in her eyes. Erza suddenly pushed herself against the bars and started to shout. "Jude! She just got back from a surgery! Give her a rest! Aren't you supposed to be her father?!"

Laughing, he put pressure on his daughters head making her whimper softly. "Of course she is! But right now we just want to test out how well she's doing with flying and all those new special skills we gave her." The little girl looked up at her father almost in a full out sob.

"Daddy...please...I'm tired..." Lucy begged, hoping that her father would say yes. Slapping her in response, she was sent flying and hit a wall hard. Crying out when she made contact with the cool stone, the girl went limp on the ground crying hard. Natsu's eyes raged with anger, his knuckles white from clutching on the bars so hard. Smoke came from his fists making the other two blink in surprise. Jude yet again laughed at this.

"Good try! But I made sure those bars wouldn't melt from all of that...Jose warned me about it!" Chuckling, he watch Henry pick up his daughter before they both left. Finally, Gray spoke up. "What was that, Natsu?"

"I...I don't know..." the boy spoke softly, staring at his still smoking hands in confusion and sadness.

It was near the middle of the night when a woman came in and placed Lucy in the extended cage that had Natsu in it before leaving. Crawling over to where the shaking body was, Natsu gathered up the small girl into his arms and wrapped his wings around them as best as he could. A bandage was now wrapped around one of her wings tightly. The other two hybrids got as close as they could. "Luce..." Natsu called softly, stroking her face softly. Blinking open her eyes, brown ones met olive ones.

"Y-yes?" she squeaked, fear crossing her face.

"Hey hey hey, shhhhhh, you're alright. But please tell us what happened." the pinkette asked, holding her closer if that was ever possible. Nodding shakily, the girl started to explain.

"W-well, first they made sure my speed was good while I was flying...it wasn't as high as daddy wanted it to be so I got this." she pointed to a bruise on her cheek. "Than he wanted me to try to telepathicily or something to him...after an hour he did this." she pointed to her other cheek. "Than tomorrow we have to try to get me night vision..."

"What about your wing, Lucy?" Gray asked, pointing to the bandaged wing.

"Oh...daddy wanted to try to get my wings a bit longer...so he had one of the doctors start yanking them and this one broke..." she pointed to the limp wing.

"It's okay now...go to sleep alright? We'll be here in the morning..." she nodded before immediately falling to sleep. Leaning against the bars, he rocked the girl gently in his arms before falling asleep himself. Staring at them softly, Erza sent Gray a happy smile.

"They're a cute couple aren't they?"

"I say it's disgusting that they're acting like that at our age..."

Perking his head up, Natsu sighed out in relief when they saw a doctor walk in with Lucy in their arms. Setting her down in the cage, Natsu quickly gathered her in his arms smiling small. "Hey...how did it go?"

"N-Natsu?" she almost screamed, touching his face all over, her eyes were glazed over.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"I-I can't see, i-is this you?" and than the rage in his stomach only grew.
