Chapter Five
Magnolia X791
Lucy sat there wrapping her bandages around her feet again, she had begun to prefer the wraps to wearing the heeled boots she used to. Virgo stood in front of her with the other set of bandages. She could feel them staring at her. Waiting.
She saw movement on her left side, narrowing her eyes on Cobra who had decided to take a seat on the log next to her with a wide grin on his lips.
"So tit princess, any luck with that little shit fest from about two weeks ago?" Cobra questioned, deciding to be an ass around her said with a twisted smirk.
Lucy frowned at Cobra not really knowing what to respond. She didn't understand what he had said, his lips moving too fast for her to catch up. She couldn't let him know… Loke who stood on the other side of Lucy tensed glaring at the asshole that had sat in front of his master.
Hearing as he spewed nothing to but poison at his master who had no clue what was being said to her-
"Say that again puss," Cobra said abruptly, looking up at the lion. A strange gleam in his eye as he looked up at Loke.
Loke shook his head angrily. "Get the fuck out of my soul Cobra." Loke's eyes flashed gold with his power as he stared the slayer down.
Cobra looked at him with a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. He had just heard the best thing in a while. Cocking his head as he heard the magic rushing in the mystical cat.
"Do you want to fight puss?" Cobra licked his teeth in anticipation at the thought of a fight. He looked over at where Lucy sat glaring holes into his head as he taunted her spirit. "I won't go easy on you even if your little tit princess is watching. I mean after all she can't eve-"
With that the leader of the zodiac threw his first punch hitting Cobra square in the jaw cutting him off halfway.
"Try to finish that sentence again," Loke snarled anger rolling off of him in waves. "This time I'll make sure you lose your teeth, asshole."
Cobra laughed low in his throat as he rose, appearing every bit a snake as he acted. Spitting to the side the bit of blood and poison that had accumulated in his mouth from the hit.
"Have fun trying, Simba."
With that Cobra lunged at Loke his fingers coated in a paralyzing dose of poison. The plan being to rip the little shit's pride to pieces. Not expecting Lucy to appear before him in a ready stance. Planting her right toes into the worn grass she pivoted, her left leg snapping in the pivot catching Cobra on the opposite cheek.
Lucy of course reacting on instinct to protect her spirit did not see the clawed hand that ripped at her abdomen and her left leg.
Growling Cobra stumbled back as he was hit. He felt the heavy hand of Richard dig into his shoulders holding him back from going back to attack the fairy.
Lucy gasped at the sudden tingling that filled her leg and abdomen as she collapsed grasping at the cuts on her body.
"What the actual fuck Cobra you tried to poison my spirit you dumb fuck?"
"What the actual fuck with you Jugs this was between me and Simba over there." Cobra snarled, staring down at the blonde who jumped up but didn't register what he had said.
"Cobra," Jellal hissed in fury, making his magic surround him. "The antidote." Cobra stared at his leader being reminded of the reason why Jellal became the leader of their little ragtag group and not anyone else. He wasn't scared–he knew better than to be scared–he begrudgingly had a small level of respect for the blue-headed criminal who was once a recognized wizard saint.
With a growl direct at Richard who still had a hand on his shoulder lest he decide now was the time he decide to try and take out the cat that was trying to help his master he breathed in before leaning down coating his hand in the antidote and placing it on the marks he left on her body.
He couldn't resist his last remark as he heard Jellal apologize while Richard started preaching about love. He grinned at the lion cheekily before stating as he stood.
"She's deaf."
