Everything was quiet as the Fairy Tail members sat in what used to be their guild hall. Natsu was quietly seething in a corner, a cup of Firewhiskey gripped tightly in his hands, Erza was eating strawberry cake like there was no tomorrow, and Gray was making random figures out of ice as he stared into space. Lucy was with Percy, bandaging up people's injuries and making sure they were all accounted for. Ever since the battle, the summon hadn't spoken a word, simply grabbing a roll of bandages and walking off.

"Is he okay?"

Lucy looked over to see Levy looking over at Percy worriedly, "Yeah, he's just upset about everything."

"It's horrible," The blue-haired girl whispered, gazing at their makeshift guild. "This was our home…"

"Home is where family is," Percy was suddenly next to her, arms crossed as he gazed around at everyone. If he saw her start in surprise, he didn't say a word. "It doesn't matter if the building we stayed in was destroyed," He sighed, trailing his finger over a bump in a wooden table. "As long as everyone's alright, I'd say our home is fine."

"You're right," Lucy smiled warmly at her summon, who returned the gesture with his own, and walked over to Natsu. "Hey," She sat down across from him, catching his attention.

"Hey," He mumbled, looking at his drink. "Look, Luce, I don't really want to talk…"

The blonde went to open her mouth when she felt a gentle hand on her back. She looked back to see Percy.

"Can you go talk to Gray?" He nodded to the ice mage by the bar, "I can't get through to him."

Lucy knew he actually meant, 'I want to talk to Natsu.' "Yeah, of course." She got up again, giving the fire mage a soft smile, before making her way over to the bar. Gray barely spared her a glance as she took a seat next to him but there was a small quirk of his lips in greeting, "Hey, how are you holding up?"

"I'll live," He grunted, making the Fairy Tail symbol out of ice.

She sighed before gently poking the ice sculpture, watching it twirl in the air, surprising the ice mage, "You know, I know everyone's upset about the guild hall- I know I am- but at least no one's hurt, right?"

Gray blinked, sitting up straight, "You're absolutely right, Lucy. God, I am such an idiot."

"I wouldn't go that far," She giggled.

"Where's Flame Brain?" He looked around for the fire mage before spotting him in the corner. His eyes widened when he took in the sight.

Natsu and Percy were glaring heatedly at each other, teeth bared in snarls. Their eyes were dark; the fire mage's like a volcano about to erupt, and the god's like a tsunami ready to slam down on the world. They were standing, their chairs thrown to the ground, and they were grabbing people's attention. They didn't seem to pay them any mind, hands slammed down on splintered wood and magic filling the air.

"What did you say?" Natsu growled, voice low in obvious anger.

Percy sneered, crossing his arms, "Oh, I'm sorry, did I strike a nerve? Why don't you go home and cry about it?"

Mira went to stop them, worry in her eyes, when Makarov held up a hand, stopping her. "Don't, Mirajane. It's alright."

"Asshole!" Natsu lunged at him, effectively diving over the whole table, and grabbed Percy by the front of his shirt.

Said god didn't lose the sneer for a minute, eyes still clouded with anger. He held onto the mage's arm, looking him in the eyes, "Come on. What, you all bark, no bite?"

Suddenly, flames engulfed Natsu's body as he slammed the god into a wall, "Shut up!"

"This all you got, Candlestick?" Percy pushed his arm down, effectively backing the mage up a few steps, "I didn't even feel that."

Natsu screamed in rage, sending a flame-coated fist at the god, who simply tilted his head to dodge it. It created a hole in the makeshift wall and sunlight squeezed through it, obscuring some of the god's body from his line of sight.

Percy just sighed tiredly, like everything going on was sapping his strength, and he waved a hand in the air. Suddenly, water started circling around him and his eyes glowed a bright sea-green. Every step he took caused the feeling of power to invade the air. It was almost like watching Makarov use his Giant magic. Without even blinking, a fist of water shot out, slamming into Natsu's chest and sending him clear across the room. The water seemed to take on the shape of a panther, which was oddly fitting for the god, and circled around said man's legs.

The summon walked a few steps forward, gazing at the fire mage. "Get up," He growled, a scowl forming on his lips. "I said get up, Natsu!"

The dragon slayer's eyes snapped open and he shakily picked himself up, "Don't think… I'm done just yet."

"Oh, I hope not," The god drawled. "This would've been horribly boring."

Natsu growled and lunged at the man, slamming a fiery fist on the god's face. There was gust of wind as the man's head snapped to the side, though his body didn't waver an inch. He slowly turned his head back, spitting out golden blood on the floor, "Feel better?"

The pinkette breathed heavily, hands trembling, before he nodded, stepping back some, "I… Yeah…"

"Good," Percy rolled his shoulders like nothing happened, the cut on his lip slowly sealing itself up. He walked past Natsu, patting him on the shoulder, and made his way towards Makarov and Mirajane.

Lucy couldn't help but smile. Of course Percy knew how to deal with Natsu when the dragon slayer was in a funk. They seemed pretty close already despite the god being her summon and not Natsu's (not that the boy was a celestial mage).

Erza seemed to have the same understanding as her, seeing as she didn't step up to stop their fight. She had a proud smile on her face as she watched Percy's movement, though she was sad to see how distraught Natsu looked as he fought the god. Her guild mates were all saddened by the destruction of the guild hall but none more than Natsu. It was his second home after he lost Igneel and he didn't have any family members to go home to, save for Happy.

"Can I get a beer?" Percy sighed as he sat next to Makarov and smiled when one slid in front of him, "I need to speak to some people. I'll be gone for a little. If you need me, just call." He downed the beer and winked at his master, before disappearing in a blue light.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D
