Summary: To me, I thought Magnolia was too adapted to Fairy Tail running round as super heroes in the recent episode, and it could just simply be because Magnolia is used to Fairy Tail being insane, but I had another thought to why they indulged Erza's superhero fantasy…
Pairings: Lots of family and friendship feels.
YouTube Prompt: A Gray/Juvia video to 'I Can Hear the Bells' from the musical Hairspray.
It happened on a rainy day.
Crap like this always seemed to.
Bored out of their minds, with nothing to do, the children ended up raiding the box of lost clothing that had been in a cupboard for the last century or so (Gray incidentally found twenty of his shirts, five trousers, and a lot of socks that he had discarded subconsciously) and were excited to find items that could make superhero costumes.
"I'm Fairy Woman!" Erza declared in a melodramatic voice. She wore an eye-mask, cat ears, and a purple dress over her armour. "I am the defender of Magnolia and all that is just and good in the world."
"And I'm Salamander!" Natsu leaped up beside her. He looked virtually the same apart from the red, scaly, mask he had round his eyes. "The most awesome superhero in the world!"
"Salamander is sooooooooooooooooooo stupid," Gray taunted Natsu, he stepped out to reveal…..that he forgot to put his clothes on, and was only wearing white boxers, a white cloak, and a matching mask. "Not like Ice Man!"
"Who cares about Ice Man," Levy retorted, "when there is the Book Wonder?!" at this she twirled out, her eyes twinkling beneath her orange mask, and the sound of her books falling in her bag could be heard from the other side of the building.
"Pfft, Book Wonder!" Cana snorted. She waved a tarot card over herself, giving herself not only a new look consisting of tight body suit and a matching mask but super powers to go with them. "You're nothing but a shadow in the light that is Card Girl!"
"Yeah well, Demon Queen, Beat King, and Animal Princess can kick all of your butts!" Mira snarled as she, Elfman, and Lisanna totally cheated and used their magical forms.
They all posed against one another, flaunting their new looks, and trying to outdo the other. All of them but Laxus, who wore a horrid orange body suit, with a yellow S on his chest, and a red cape with matching eye mask. Instead, he chose to stand in the corner, cross his arms, and sulk over the fact the others had tricked him into this.
"…..Why am I even in costume?" Laxus grumbled. "I don't want to play this stupid game. It's immature."
"Shut up, Sparky Man!" Natsu snapped. "You're part of the team whether you like it or not! Now the world needs saving!"
"That's nice kids," Master said behind his giant stack of paperwork, "why don't you all go and play outside."
The children all stared at one another and then shrugged. "I, Fairy Woman," Erza said passionately, "so solemnly swear that I will not rest until all crime has been defeated and all jerks put in prison."
"Fairy Woman can't do that if Demon Queen gets there first!" Mira shouted over her shoulder as she raced towards the door. "Transformation Siblings Unite!"
"Salamander will beat everyone!"
"Ha! Salamander can't do anything. Ice Man will clean this town up!"
"Come on Sparky Man!" Cana dragged Laxus forcefully. "You and I, and Book Wonder, ought to make sure the others don't accidentally kill one another."
"I. don't. Want. To."
There will be claw marks in the doorframe from where Laxus desperately clung tightly only to be successfully pried away by the girls and dragged off into whatever chaos the other were causing.
So much for a quiet afternoon listening to his new CD….
("Hey," Macao yawned when he got into the guild. It was entirely empty apart from Master who was still slaving over his paperwork. Wakaba and Reedus were out on jobs, Gildarts was gone God knows where, and the other members were never regular in their visits as the children and Macao was. "I might be hallucinating, sleep deprivation does that, Christ, the baby never sleeps, but I think I just saw the kids running round as superheroes. Natsu and Gray were playing tug of war with some old dear they wanted to cross the road with."
Master instantly spilt ink all over his paperwork as he stood up in horrified realisation. "Shit! Why the hell did I let those shitty brats out?!" he wailed. "Now I'm going to have to do more paperwork!"
He then raced out as quickly as possible to put a stop to whatever chaos his brats had caused now. Fortunately the only damage was a small fire on a market stall, and all of Magnolia was so smitten with the children playing superheroes that they encouraged them to do so again.
"Nah," Natsu yawned, "being superheroes is boring now. I think tomorrow I'll be a villain."
No one paid any attention to the tears pouring down Master's cheeks at that proclamation.)
