Previously:

"I haven't seen him so I think he did. He usually doesn't start messing with people till after he has found one of us."

The two of them sat enjoying the craziness going on around them. The two started laughing when Lucy when she told Gray and Natsu, "Lame insult guys."

Then Loke burst into the room making almost everyone in the room freak out over two sentences, "Got bad news!" Loke looked panicked, "It's Erza she's on her way here."

Now:

Reinhart watch as the others all panicked. Rolling his eyes he went back to his food and alcohol that his wife had gotten him. Viper happily on his daddy watching the chaos going on behind the man eating. The black cat that had draped himself on Kristina's shoulder's didn't even bother to open his eyes as he took a nap from his mother's shoulders. His ears were flat against his skull blocking out most of the noise. Midnight was used to the loud noise as he came with Kristina from time to time to the guild.

Kristina pet the cat's side softly as she put her apron away. She then walked over and sat next to her husband pulling her plate over to eat and a glass of water to drink. That was when the door carrying a large decorated horn on her hand. As she dropped it to the ground Erza said, "I have returned, where is master Makarov?"

Lucy seemed shocked seeing the swords woman, "Wow she's pretty."

Kristina looked over her shoulder drinking some of her water letting Mira answer, "Welcome back Erza, the master is at a conference right now."

The red head nodded, "I see."

One of the guild mates asked, "So, what is that humongous thing you got there?"

"It's the horn of a monster that I defeated. The locals were so thankful that they decorated it and gave it to me as a souvenir." Erza's eyes narrowed at the man, "Do you have a problem with it?"

The two men freaked out, "No, not at all."

Cana spoke softly to Macao, "I bet she's heard about what happened at Mt Hakube."

Macao sweat, "You think so. Oh man I'm a gonner."

Reinhart chuckled by the man's reaction, "She's Erza, she hears everything."

The red haired woman turned to the rest of the guild making them stiffen up, "Now listen up, while I was on the road I heard about a few things. Word is Fairy Tail is causing nothing but trouble as of late. Master Makarov may not care but I most certainly do." She started to focus on individual members, "Cana, you need you need to start controlling you drinking."

Reinhart burst out laughing causing Cana to glare at him. He pointed at her, "I am so blessed to have the wife I do."

"Reinhart." Cana growled shaking her fist at him.

Erza continued in the background, "Wakaba, get rid of that filthy habit. Nab, I suspected I find you dallying in front of the request board. Just pick a job! Macao,…" She sighed looking away.

Macao looked freaked, "Please just say something."

The red head touched her head, "I don't even know where to begin with you. You cause so much trouble I have almost given up." Deciding she didn't know what to say she looked over and said, "Reinhart,…" Yellow eyes looked at her unaffected and pretty much daring her to say what she wanted to say. The woman continued to look at him, "I heard you caused damage. You haven't done that in two months. However giv…"

"So what of it." Reinhart continued the stare down cutting her off as he was irritated that she opened her mouth, "First off you are not my mother. Second off in this job we don't always get lucky and not destroy something. Third none of the villagers complained. Forth the damage I caused was the least of their worries. Their health came first."

Erza shook her head, "If you had allowed me to finish I was going to say given the situation thank you for looking out for those villagers and doing what you could. You went above the call of what they asked for. We could use more people like you. However next time I will make sure to start to with the good news next time." She shook her head looking around as Reinhart rolled his eyes going back to his food as he growled:

"Or don't say anything at all."

"She's really tearing into everyone." Lucy whispered turning away, "It's like she's taking over."

Happy smiled, "That's Erza for you."

"Even if she is bossy she's still saner than every one else here. I don't understand why everyone is so afraid of her."

"Are Natsu and Grey here?"

Happy nodded, "Aye."

Lucy about fell over seeing the two that fought like cats and dogs holding each other like they were best friends. Both were shaking as Gray stammered out, "Oh, h…hey Erza. We're just hanging out like good friends tend to do."

"Aye." The dragon slayer agreed.

"Why is Natsu talking like Happy?" Lucy asked in shock.

Reinhart looked over to make sure that Erza wasn't going to mess with Natsu too bad. Erza seemed pleased, "That's great, I'm quite pleased to see the two of you getting along so well." She smiled at them making The Mystery Man of Fairy Tail smirk a chuckle forming in his throat, "However, it's only natural for even the best of friends to lock horns every now and again."

"I don't know if we are the best of friends." Gray somehow said without a scoff.

"Aye." Natsu replied sweating.

Lucy shook her head, "What's gotten into Natsu?"

She looked over as the two barmaids explained starting with Kristina as Mira drew with the light pen, "Oh, he's just scared sweetheart."

Mira picked up where she left off, "A few years ago he challenged Erza to a duel to which he lost badly."

Lucy sweat dropped, "Well that was a stupid thing to do."

Macao smiled, "After that she found Gray walking around naked so she decided to beat him up too."

Cana laughed lightly, "And let's not forget that she beat up Loke for trying to hit on her. He totally deserved it though."

The blond looked at the two snickering, 'Wow you would think they don't care for their guildmates at all. But…' "I can't say I blame her."

"Natsu, Grey. I need you to do me a favor." Erza's eyes turned to Reinhart and Kristina, "I would like to ask you two a favor as well if you have the time to spare."

Yellow eyes locked on to Erza and let her explain, "While traveling I overheard something that has me worried. Normally I would consult with the master before acting but he's not here and this is a matter of utmost urgency. The four of you are the strongest wizards here I could really use your help."

While the others talked around them Kristina shook her head, "I can't Ezra I'm sorry."

The swords woman nodded, "I understand Kristina." Her eyes turned to Reinhart waiting for his verdict.

His first response was going to be 'no' but he could tell this was important and it wasn't often Erza asked for help. Especially for both Kristina's and his help, this had to be bad. Generally most people of the guild saw him and Kristina as overkill if they worked together, Erza was one of those people though she never complained since his wife had a tendency to help the town rebuild if she caused the damage. It also didn't help that both he and his wife were S class wizards. He tapped his bottom lip, "I'll help."

Erza nodded, "We'll meet at the train station tomorrow morning."

Mira seemed shocked, "Erza, Natsu, Gray, and Reinhart on the same team. I never saw that one coming. This could be the most powerful team Fairy Tail has ever seen.
