Loki ran through the streets towards Fairy Tail.
"If they're hurt I'm going to kill all of them," he muttered through gritted teeth as the guild hall came in sight. When he got close to the doors, he twisted his ring, making a magic circle appear on the large wooden doors, with a loud explosion, the doors swung open, one hanging by its hinges. Loki ran in, he stood in the middle of the huge stone room, his fingers still on the ring he wore on his left ring finger.
"What did you do with my family?" he yelled to no one in particular, everyone in the room turned to him, some quickly pointed to the door by the bathroom that led to the large area behind the guild hall. He ran past everyone to the door, some flinched as he sped by, he burst out the door. Outside he saw Mira and Lucy sitting under a shade tree on a blanket while Fairy was playing with Plue a little away from Lucy who he just noticed had a bandage wrapped around her head. Fairy suddenly looked over to her father.
"Daddy!" she screamed as she ran over to him, he knelt to the ground, arm stretched out to greet his daughter. She ran into his arms. She giggled as he picked her up, hugging her tightly. Lucy and Mira looked over to see the touching scene and immediately, Lucy jumped up. Loki saw, and put Fairy down on the ground.
"Loki!" she called as she ran towards him, instantly clasping him in a hug, He hugged her tightly and spun her around once, when he stopped she kissed him which made Mira squeal in delight; Lucy blushed before she turned back to her squealing friend. Seeing Lucy blush, Mira tired to control her squeals, but failed miserably. Loki felt a tugging on his pant leg and looked down to see Fairy trying to get his attention. He let go of Lucy and knelt beside their daughter who seemed excited to tell him something.
"Daddy, guess what!" she was practically bouncing up and down.
"What?" he asked with a smile.
"I ate fire, Daddy! I ate fire!" she told him excitedly. He raised an eyebrow.
"Why did you have to eat fire?" he asked her. Panic started to arise in Lucy.
"Why don't you go play with Plue, Fararia?" Lucy knelt down beside Loki, Fairy nodded as she ran off to play with her little snowman spirit once more. Loki and Lucy stood up, Loki eyed Lucy suspiciously.
"Lucy?" she looked anywhere but his face, he put his index finger under her chin and angled her face towards his, reluctantly, she looked at him. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"Three days ago, Team Natsu found out about the woman, they thought it was you who did it and came looking for you. They thought that you were still a celestial spirit and that I could still summon you, so they came looking for me. They confronted my at school and a fight broke out in the courtyard, and Natsu…" that was all Loki needed to hear, he went back into the guild.
"Keep Fairy out here," Lucy told Mira, who nodded her understanding. Lucy ran after Loki.
Loki looked around the guild for Natsu, when his eyes locked in on him, he was at the bar, where Lisanna handed him a pint of beer, he gulped some of it before he put the mug down to stare into the amber liquid. Loki tapped Natsu on the shoulder, he looked at him, and before he could say anything Loki pulled back his fist and hit his face with such force that Natsu flew several feet across the room and stopped sprawled out on the floor.
"Natsu!" Lisanna exclaimed. Whoever wasn't already staring at the ginger standing over the pink haired man was now. Natsu quickly sprang up; his fists were engulfed in fire.
"What the heck was that for?" He growled.
"You attacked my family." Loki growled lowly back at him.
"It was your fault, ginger! We were looking for you!" Natsu told him simply.
"Then why didn't you come looking for me instead of for my family?" He yelled at him.
"What are you talking about?!" Natsu shouted angrily. "You're a spirit! Of course we'd go for your Celestial Wizard, not you!"
Loki glared at Natsu from the bar. "You idiotic, flame-swallowing road-side attraction! I'm human now! She hasn't had to summon me from the Spirit World in five years!" He shouted.
Natsu glared at him in angry confusion. "What are you talking about? And how could I know that?"
"It doesn't matter what you know." Loki snarled. "All that matters right now is what I know. And what I know is you attacked my wife and daughter!" After he said that he launched from the bar towards Natsu, fists ready. Natsu ran forward to meet him, fists aflame. When they were within range, they both threw a punch towards the other, fists connecting at the middle. They quickly pulled back and threw another punch, Natsu aiming high for Loki's face, and Loki aiming low at Natsu's stomach. Natsu's connected first, messing up Loki's punch, which didn't hit as hard as he wanted. But Natsu still bent over a little, and Loki took this chance and grabbed Natsu's head with both hands and brought his knee up to meet his face.
Lucy came in at this point and saw Loki and Natsu fighting. "Elfman! Gray! Someone, stop them!" She yelled in dismay. Gray ran from across the Guild hall to try and restrain Natsu. Gajeel appeared from behind Lucy and ran towards Loki. Gray was trying his best to keep Natsu back, but with little success, since Natsu was so fired up.
"Elfman, give me a hand here!" Gray shouted. The larger man strode over to where they were and helped Gray hold Natsu back. Meanwhile Gajeel had a grip on Loki while Lucy stood in front of him trying to calm him down. But he barely even noticed she was there. His eyes were locked over her shoulder on Natsu. And Natsu was staring right back. Natsu was struggling against Gray and Elfman.
"How could he do that?" Natsu thought, despairingly. "How could he… after all that time we all had together…" After five long years, he couldn't hold it back anymore.
"Why'd you take her from us?!" Natsu suddenly shouted, straining against Gray and Elfman.
Everyone stopped. They all looked his way. Natsu's head was hanging, his teeth bared.
"After all the time we all had together… And you just took her away from us…" When he raised his head again, everyone saw tears glistening in his eyes. He shook away from Gray and Elfman's grip and slowly began to walk over to Loki.
"After you left we looked for you. For more than a year, there was always someone looking for you. But you never gave any word or other indication that you even cared. Hell, some of us even thought you were dead!" He shouted at Lucy. Lucy held her hand over her mouth as she supported herself against the bar. "You didn't even come to say goodbye…" Natsu turned his attention back to Loki.
"And you…" Natsu continued his advance toward Loki. "What did you do? Did you even attempt to convince her to go back? At the very least to say goodbye? Or were you just so happy to finally get Lucy all to yourself?!" He was right in front of Loki at this point. Loki just looked at him, expressionless. "I mean, we all knew you were in love, but you still could've at least convinced her to go back and say goodbye!" He said, prodding Loki in the chest. Then he turned his attention back on Lucy.
"Did you even miss us, Lucy?" He said with a breaking voice. "For five years you never gave us any sign you cared. Not a visit, not even a letter. And then we find you after all this time, and find out you've had a daughter. You never even told us you had gotten married!" He gripped Lucy by the arms. "How could you do that? Did you just throw us aside? After all those years, you couldn't even come back to say goodbye?" He let go of her arms and dropped to his knees. "I just don't understand… Why…?" He began to get choked up.
Lucy just stood there, looking down at her friend. She covered her mouth with one hand, trying to hold back tears. She knelt down to where she was level with him. She placed both of her hands on either side and tilted his head up. She looked at him, and tears formed in her eyes. She reached out and pulled him into a hug. Natsu grew stiff in her arms, surprised at the embrace. But he soon softened and returned the sign of affection. They just sat there for a moment, but suddenly heard a small throat being cleared. Natsu looked up, and saw Fairy standing in beside them.
"Mr. Natsu?" She asked softly.
"Yeah?" He responded.
"Does this mean you aren't gonna try and hurt mommy anymore?" She asked innocently but sternly.
Natsu looked surprised at the question, but Lucy laughed and backed up from Natsu. She pulled Fairy closer and hugged her. "No sweetie, Natsu isn't going to hurt mommy anymore." She said laughing softly.
Fairy pulled away from her mother. "Then I guess I can like him now." She said as she gave Natsu a hug. Natsu just stood there kind of stiff, "Because, you know," she pulled away from him, "I don't wanna fight you again, even though it was fun to eat the fire," At this Natsu laughed.
"It is pretty fun, isn't it?" He laughed once more.
"Good," they heard a elderly voice call from the S-class balcony, "I'm glad that you brats were able to solve your problems before I had to step in," Makarov jumped down and approached the wizards, he went straight to Fairy, "Hey kid, I'm Makarov Dreyer, but you can call me Gramps," He stuck out his hand, Fairy took it with a straight face, then it softened as Makarov pulled her into a hug. "Welcome to the family, Squirt,"
