Her Hidden Powers

Chapter 14: First 100 Year Mission

11

Smiling at herself she looked down at the key in her hand. She had gone on 2 SS Class missions and one 10 Year mission with her team, in the past 3 weeks. Now that Lucy was stronger she helped end the missions quicker than they usually did. No one was complain because they had made REALLY good money completing these missions. That was what she was most happy about. If they hadn't gone on those missions, she wouldn't be in this office, having just signed the document to her new home. Key in her hand and tears in her eyes, she hugged the little old man that sold her his home. Memories of how lucky she had been to meet him that day.

A while back Lucy had become friends with an elderly couple after a mission she had done for them. They had a nice little house tucked along the coast overlooking the ocean. It wasn't far from the guild, but was also hidden enough to be private. Most people didn't even know that path was there. Which was how she liked it. Sadly, the wife had passed away and the old man was alone. He was struggling keeping up with the house and decided he was going to move into a nursing home. First, he wanted to sell the house and it's land to someone who would appreciate it and really needed it. Truthfully, he had Lucy in mind the entire time. One day recently, when she walked up to the decently sized Storybook styled house she saw the man on the front porch. He was in a rocking chair, just admiring the nature that sang around him. She greeted him and brought him some food she had made. She always took care of him now, making sure he had company. They talked about her new missions, her love, and she mentioned she finally was ready for a house. He had told about moving and such, and that he wanted to sell the house to her.

After much friendly banter, they had closed the deal on 25,000,000J (about $250, 000.00). Behind the house was a cliff that was fences off, and had gate that led down to a private beach. There was 20 acres of land in total, also including a bit of dense woods,a tiny field in the middle of the dense woods filled with flowers, a stream running into the ocean, and a small tucked away waterfall. It was heaven on earth to her. The next day the old man met her at the real estate office, with 4 suitcases of all the things he wanted to take with him. The rest of the items in the house she didn't want he left for her. This included a plethora of books, which made the bookworm happy.

After signing the documents so the home was now in Lucy's name, she escorted the man to the nursing home. Helping him with his bags and making sure he had no troubles getting in. She helped him settle into his room before saying good by. She knew she would be visiting this man as much as possible. Now, full of excitement and energy she went to her apartment. It was a small apartment, so it didn't take longer than a few hours for her and Virgo to pack everything up. While Virgo kindly took the boxes of her things over (it was easier because she could just poof them over), Lucy skipped over to her boyfriends apartment.

Knock! Knock!

Rustling was heard from with in, along with a "I'm coming." A few seconds later the door opened to reveal the love of her life. " Hey beautiful!' He had managed to say before Lucy wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a big wet one on his lips. He giggled and wiped his mouth and she pulled away. "Someone is a little TOO excited. Hehe."

"Well, I have some amazing news! I BOUGHT A HOUSE!" practically yelling, Gray covered her mouth quickly and dragged her inside. Realizing it was kinda late and she might have been a tad loud, her cheeks shone a rose hue. "Sorry! I forgot how late it was."

"It's alright, You were just excited. So, tell me about this house." Gray was saying as he made his way to grab her some water. It looked like she was slightly panting, assuming she had bolted over here to tell him, her throat was probably dry.

"Better yet, how about I show you? I did say I wanted you to move in with me, so tomorrow we can get you all packed up. We also have to take care of the rest of the years rent for our apartments, after that I can have Virgo move your stuff over while we hoof it. I got such a good deal on it too. I will explain it all tomorrow." She took a break to sip the water he brought her. They were both on the couch looking at each other. "Tonight though, since I am SO excited I figured you could help me burn a little energy off and I could just stay the night." She was sat the drink on the coffee table and slowly crawled over to him on the couch.

Watching her approach like a cat about to pounce, her sexy ass bouncing from side to side, he gulped. She crawled into his lap and leaning in to kiss him passionately, while her hand massaged his upper thigh, teasing him. It worked well and quickly, because next minute she felt him against her. Moans echoed the place as articles of clothing began to fly from their bodies. The pair of naked sweaty bodies made sure not to miss a possible new spot in the apartment, to have fun before they had to leave it behind.

Finally, after a cold shower for the both of them, the 2 climbed into Gray's bed, falling asleep into naked cuddles. Gray fell asleep after Lucy, he stared down at her for a moment, Thinking about how thankful he was to have her in his life finally. He felt like the luckiest guy in the entire world. Truthfully, he was super excited to be moving in with her. Not only was it because he could tell this was going to be what the rest of his life was going to be like, and with the woman he loved, but he also wasn't going to have any neighbours. Just peace and quiet, with the one he loved, and hopefully a family one day. Gray drifted off with the biggest smile on his face than he might ever have had.

With a tearful good-bye, Lucy left her land lady's office. On top of the old man who sold her the home, she was going to also visit the land lady too. Gray was hugging her shoulder for comfort his love in her bitter sweet moment. They had woken up refreshed that morning, had a quick breakfast, got his stuff packed, and signed him out of his lease. Virgo had taken the boxes to the house for the grateful couple, so they could get everything else situated. They had been walking for a little bit, Lucy tell him how she got the house, but didn't mention what it looked like in the slightest. She wanted him to be surprised by something at least.

When the guild came in to view, Gray looked a little confused. "Uh, hun. Aren't we supposed to be going to the house? Why are we going towards the guild?" The ice mage said as he looked around confused.

Lucy let out a big giggle, " The path is to the right of the guild. We are close to the guild, BUT also secluded." Pointing to a small path barely noticeable she showed him "See, there is the path to our house. It isn't very noticeable, which I love that it is kinda secret."

Finally, his eyes laid them selves on to the path they had to take. His interest was peaked to say the least. Approaching the small path, there were trees on either side and went winding around a corner. The trees where pretty dense here so you couldn't see that there were little enchanted lanterns that lit the path up for it's owner. Once they turned the last little bend a decent sized house, with a field across from it and the ocean behind it, came into view. He jaw dropped and he couldn't believe that this was their new home. "Is this really our home?" Gray was trying to take all of his surroundings in.

"Yup. I got a really good deal. Can't you just see us one day having a little family here? Oooo, and having parties with the guild members away form the town. Also, I was thinking, since there is SO much land, maybe we could use a small bit of it in the woods to make another house. I was thinking Erza and Jellal could have there own little secret house." Lucy continued to ramble. Excited to finally show her man their new home. Their new future.

Gray was trying to not tear up. He thought about how Ur would be proud of him and how he couldn't wait to bring his brother over. Back when he was a poor little orphaned boy, he would have never have aloud himself to think he could have a future like this.

Lucy opened the door to there new home. IT was a nice open concept home and very modern compared to the outside. It was more his and her style more. The kitchen was to the left, it had an island with barstools to eat at instead of a dining room table and a BIG pantry, in front was a nice open living room area. the walls lined with bookshelves and a nice black sectional in the middle. Behind the living room was a door that went out to the back porch. To the left was a a door, most likely a bathroom, and a set of stairs that went up to a second floor. You could look over a railing down at the people below from the top of the stairs. There was a master bedroom on the left, with a walk in closet and master bathroom. On the right was a door to another bathroom and slightly down a hall a 2 more bedroom doors. Gray walked out onto the back porch and looked out over the ocean, taking in the new view he got to see every morning. Lucy was inside unpacking her boxes that were littering the rooms, along with his boxes. Gray had old furniture, it was still in good condition so he decided to donate it the church for whoever needed it. He was glad he did because the space would have been cramped. After a while Gray came inside to unpack his stuff. Lucy eventually started dinner, the pair was starving, they skipped lunch because they were distracted with unpacking.

Taking a break from unpacking and organizing, they sat down to a have their first meal in the new place. "I still can't believe that not only am I getting to live with you finally, but I am living with you in this house. It is amazing. More than I could have dreamed." Gray said looking over his new domain.

Lucy giggled, "I am so happy Gray. I can't wait to show our family. There is enough outside space, Natsu can be kept outside and not destroy anything. Hehe". She smirked at herself thinking about how THE Salamander destroys everything. "Oh, how about, after we do the next mission we have a house warming party? Invite the guild and our friends from the other guild?" her head cocked to the side as she asked him this.

"That sounds really nice actually. I haven't talked to Lyon in a while. It would also be nice to catch up with Juvia. I may not have had the feelings she wanted me to have, but I still cared about her as a friend. I still want to make sure she is happy." He said thoughtfully and kind of nervous at what Lucy might say. Her and Juvia were more frenemies, because of him.

"Of course! I want to see how she is doing as well." Lucy said without a second thought and a smile. Gray was happily shocked. Seeing this she re-assured him. "I know you love me Gray and you now I love you. I have complete trust in you. So, don't worry any about her coming." She went to clean her dished off leaving him with a gentle kiss on the forehead. Yea, I am definitely the luckiest guy I know, he thought as he also finished his plate.

Putting his dishes in the sink, he came up behind Lucy and put his arms around her waste. Leaning in, he stopped at her ear to whisper, "Now, how about we break the new bedroom in?" Not actually waiting for an answer he nibbled on her neck, making her words stop in her throat and letting a gasp escape instead.

Gray carried his love up stairs to their room. THEIR ROOM!. He thought excitedly. A smile spreading on his lips as he continued to make out with his love. That night, they did a great job at breaking the new room in. After a quick rinse they fell asleep almost instantly. They were tired from all the unpacking that day.

The sound of nature woke Lucy up, with a happy sigh. She looked around at her new surroundings and still couldn't believe this was her new home. Her mom and dad would be so proud and would have loved this house. She sat up, and walked to the balcony that overlooked the ocean in the back. She was still naked, but she didn't care. She could walk around freely and not have to worry about anyone seeing. The ocean air felt warm and comforting as is skimmed across her skin.

"Now, this I can wake up to ever morning." A low rough voice said from behind her. Obviously sounding like he was till waking up. He slid his arms around her and just stared out at there new view. It was breath taking. He would never get tired of seeing it. "We better get ready to head out soon. We want to be able to get back and pack so we can leave asap."

"Agreed! I could use more money since I bought this place. I want to change out some of the furniture to something more me and that is also stain resistant lol." Lucy agreed, already freed from his arms and heading to the bathroom. They showered together, got dressed, and had a quick breakfast.

Soon they were walking into the guild. It was pretty empty at the moment, except for a Mira and a few other mages. Erza was eating a strawberry cake, Natsu and Happy were laughing and chatting with each other, Laxus was in the corner with his eyes closed, Wendy and Carla were sitting at the bar talking to Mira. When the couple walked in the greeted everyone.

" Hey, hun, I am going to go upstairs and look at the missions." Lucy said and gave Gray a kiss on the cheek. Making her way up the stairs she had an idea on what mission to take. She had eyed it before and thought now was a good time to go for it. Thankfully it was still there. A job worth 5 BILLION Jewels. It was to help the country of Enca with the strange weather that has surrounded the 3 islands for many decades. She had heard about how the there was so much lightening there that lightening mages often went there to train. Deciding on this job she made her way down stairs. " Erza, Natsu, Happy, Wendy, Carla, Gray and Laxus.." She glanced over at a stunned lightening mage who hadn't expected his name to be called. " . . want to help with a mission? The reward is 5 billion jewels." Now Laxus was really interested.

"Sure!" They all said in unison. Laxus made his way over to overlook the mission he was asked to join. "So, why did you decide to invite me this time Lucy?"

"Oh, I have been looking at this job for a little while and looked up Enca. It is know for strange weather, like snowing with lightening. Apparently, there is A LOT of lightening on the islands. IT burns down peoples home often, and I figured you are an expert at helping with any crazy lightening." She smiled up at him. He blushed a little and being called an expert, he didn't compliments like that a lot from other's outside his team.

"Oh, well, thank you for thinking of me." He mumbled out, pink still on his cheeks.

"Mira! We all are going to go check this job out!" Lucy said waving the pamphlet in the are.

"Oh this one! You are the first ones from our guild to try to solve this mission." Mira said as she recorded it in her log book. "There you all go. You are set. Have fun." She said giving the group one of her million watt smiles.

"Okay, so how about we meet at the train station in about an hour?" Lucy suggested. The group nodded and parted ways to go pack.

Gray was happy to be able to use the dimension Lucy had, so they didn't have to carry all there stuff and they could take extra things as well. They made their way to the train station. Erza and Wendy were the first ones there. Erza of course had a mountain of things she wanted to bring. Soon the rest showed up.

"Hey guys, so I want to show you a secret that will help us travel I think. Follow me!" Lucy mentioned as she motioned them to follow here behind a building near the train station. They watched in awe, except for Gray, as she made a portal in the air. She walked through and Gray motioned them to follow her.

Once inside, she turned to the group. "So, long story short, this is a dimension that I created and control. I store my stuff here when I go on trips. I also can control the time here, so I did a lot of training every night by making time stop here. Then when I went back, it was like I never left. While we are travelling you can leave your stuff in here, it makes it easier. Also, I was thinking, since Wendy and Natsu get sick on the train, Gray and I can get tickets and you guys can hang here. Once we get off the first train we can check in with you guys before getting on the second train. THENNNNN, once we are done with the second check in once more before getting on a boat to the island. Saves us money on tickets, we can visit while on the train also. You can cook and sleep on beds here. train if you wish. What do you think? Lucy finished taking in a deep breath.

"That idea sounds great Lucy. This is perfect and insane." The Titania exclaimed as she took in the universe surrounding her.

"Luce, this is great, no motion sickness!" Natsu said, Wendy shaking her head up and down in agreement.

Laxus already found a chair and was relaxing. "It is nice and peaceful her" he breathed out softly.

"Okay, well Gray and I will be getting back then. Have fun!" The couple were through the portal one moment and then the portal was gone. The team relaxed in the nice comfortable space.

Once they got their tickets, Gray and Lucy were on the first train with in 5 minutes. They got cosy next to each other in their long single seat and relaxed. Ready to start this journey to Enca and spend all that time together.
