Chapter 2:
The back of her eyelids were red, indicating she was in a room with the light on. Her eyes opened slowly and she squeezed them back, not being adjusted to the light hurt the back of her eyes.
Levy blinked a few times before they shot open. She was definitely awake now. The room she was in was all white, even her bed. Lucy was still resting on the bed next to her. "Where the hell are we?" Levy groaned as she placed a hand on her throbbing head. Hangover.
"Here, I brought you some water and pills to help with your hangover." A strong feminine voice spoke to her left. Levy turned around grabbing the water and pills out of her hand, "Ah, thank you- WHAT!?" Levy shrieked, nearly spilling her drink.
A lady, about a year or two older than her smiled. Her hair was long and scarlet, entrancing Levy. "Just relax and take the medicine, I'm not going to do anything to you." The beautiful lady assured her. Levy glanced cautiously before popping the pills in her mouth and swallowing it down with water.
"I'm Erza Scarlet, it's nice to meet you Levy." Erza reached out a hand to Levy, who only looked back at her skeptically. "How do you know my name?"
"Huh? What the hell?" The two girls looked over to the other bed, where the blonde sat up in confusion. "Levy, where are we- Who is she? A friend of yours?" Lucy watched Levy and the scarlet haired lady who sat on a chair next to her bed.
"Uhh, actually, we just met like a minute ago." Levy confessed. Lucy stared at the lady for a long minute before something in her head clicked. "Who are you? Where are we? And who were those three guys we saw at the club last night?" Lucy bombarded her with questions until Erza lifted her hand, signaling her to stop.
"Calm down, and one question at a time. My name is Erza Scarlet, and you don't have to tell me who you are, I know who you are, Ms. Lucy Heartfilia," Lucy blinked in astonishment. "Wait-"
"Let me finish." Her eyes suddenly slanted in a terrifying manner, making the two girls lean away in fear.
"Right now, you're at Fairy Tail headquarters and you will be staying here for a while until it is safe enough for you two to leave." Lucy and Levy shared a questioning glance at each other before Erza continued.
"Those men you saw yesterday were Natsu Dragneel, Gray Fullbuster, and Gajeel Redfox. Those men are undercover agents."
"Undercover- Like secret, working force for some kind of government with strange gadgets and stuff?" Levy asked, amazed. Erza nodded, crossing one leg over the other to get comfortable. "Yes, something like that."
Levy's eyes sparkled.
"Whoa, I didn't think there were actual James Bond's." Lucy mumbled to herself before pausing. "But that doesn't explain why we're here." Lucy added while Levy nodded in agreement.
"All I can tell you right now is that we were given a special mission by the government and your father to protect you. And because 'sources' know that Levy has a connection with you and your family, we are keeping her under safe watch as well. But there is another reason why you're here Levy, but we'll get to that later." Levy nodded, her mouth slightly open in awe and bewilderment.
"My father, and the government? Of Fiore? What's so special about me that I need special forces protecting me?" Lucy panicked.
"Well, it's because of a new technology your father had created, he put it under your name incase anything would happen to him and if anything did we would protect you. The are different countries and not only countries but bad organizations out for your blood now to obtain that new technology."
"What's the technology?" Levy questioned. "That's classified." Lucy was quiet for a long period, thinking about what Erza had just said to her.
"... What... Happened to my father?" Lucy looked at the ground. The room became deathly silent.
"... I'm sorry, but Jude Heartfilia was assassinated a few day ago, everyone in the mansion was killed. He notified us just an hour before. Once they found out he didn't have it, they'd looked through his records and are now searching for you."
Lucy stared blankly at the ground while Levy teared up.
"No way..." She whispered. Levy was lifelong friends with Lucy since their fathers worked together and were also very close, after her parents had died in a plane crash, Levy was accepted into their home since Jude and Layla were written down as one of her guardians to go to if anything were to ever happen. More tears fell down her face as she wiped them away.
A knock interrupted the depressing atmosphere as a girl with long white, wavy-hair peeked through.
"Sorry if I interrupted anything, but breakfast is being served in the café." She smiled at the three, "Thanks Mira, we'll be right out in just a minute." Erza nodded to the white haired girl, before Mira closed the door.
"Well, if you'll excuse me, I'll be out in the cafeteria if you need me. Levy make sure to come speak to me later and Lucy... I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you two get comfortable." Erza said as she opened the door, she stopped again and turned back to the mourning girls.
"Also, in the bathroom on the door next to Lucy's bed are some spare clothes, feel free to put them on." She said before she closed the door softly.
Lucy and Levy sat there for a long time, engulfed in silence. Levy looked over to Lucy, "Lu-chan. I'm sorr-"
"Don't be," Lucy smiled. "Like the saying goes, it's better to remember the happy times. Plus, we need to stay strong for my dad, people are coming after us and we need to protect what ever it is he bestowed to me." Lucy said confidently, though Levy could see through her and tell how upset she was, she still nodded and smiled back.
When they walked into the bathroom, they gawked. It was big enough for five people to bathe together, like a really tiny public bath in their room.
"Whoaaa." They both said as they walked in, Levy nudged Lucy's arm, making her look down at her blue-haired friend. "What?" Levy smiled smugly, "How about we take a bath together again like old times." Lucy laughed at her, not even needing to reply since the two were already stripping down.
Oh my... That was amazing..." Levy sighed as she watched her friend finished getting dressed. Lucy was actually pretty impressed with the clothing that was given to her. Lucy wore a tank-top with and an unzipped, over sized jacket, with leggings and flats. Lucy actually loved the jacket and wondered if they would let her keep it (it kinda looked like a hip hop jacket from like the 90's, but all one color if you're wondering)
Levy chose to wear the jumpsuit with the boots and crop jacket that made her look like she was apart of Fairy Tail. Lucy laughed at her as they entered the café.
"We're in life-threatening danger but you seem to be having a pretty good time." Lucy snorted, "Well I was thinking maybe that guy would be here. What was his name- Gajeel?"
"Huh?" A voice sounded from the table beside girls turned their head to the topic of the conversation himself, but he wasn't wearing a suit. He had on a body fitting tank with cargo ants and combat boots.
Gajeel stared at them from his food and smirked. "Oh, well if it isn't the little Shrimp that was passed out drunk in Blondie's arms. I had to carry you know, do you even eat or is it because you're so tiny?" He spoke smugly, watching the tiny girl's face go red in either embarrassment or anger. Probably both.
"Don't call me short!" She yelled at him, crossing her arms before turning around and dragging Lucy. "Come on Lucy, we were told as children not to talk to freaks like him." She said as she dragged Lucy off who was laughing.
"Hey!" Gajeel's voice could be heard behind them before he clicked his tongue. When they got to the bar, Levy huffed. "Yeah, he's good looking and all, but his attitude is horrible." Levy grumbled as the same white-haired girl from before walked up from behind the bar counter.
"Good morning! Is there anything I could get you two?"
"Ah, good morning. You're Mira right?" Lucy asked, smiling at her cheerful mood. Mira nodded at them. "Mirajane Strauss. But you can just call me Mira for short. So what would you two like to eat, I bet you're starving!" Lucy and Levy like Mira already.
"Could I just have some pancakes? And Levy loves waffles." Lucy smiled while Levy nodded. Mira giggled and nodded, she turned her head to an opening in the wall behind her where the kitchen was.
"Lisanna, can you make the pancakes?" A head popped out with another white-haired girl. She looked just like Mira, only younger and her hair was short and straight. Her sky blue eyes glanced over to Lucy and Levy and she waved.
"Sure thing!" She said before disappearing back into the kitchen. Mira turned back to the girls, "That was my little sister, Lisanna. I'll start making waffles for Levy." She hummed before walking into the kitchen as well.
"She's so pretty and nice." Lucy admired. "Yeah, her sister Lisanna looked around our age, didn't she?" Lucy nodded. "Yeah, there's a lot of young people working here...Work!?" Lucy shot up from her stool, almost knocking it down.
"Shit, I have to go to work, I never called!" Lucy fisted her hand through her hair.
"Don't worry. We have sources, they know you're in... Capable hands." Erza said calmly while she ate a slice of strawberry cake next to her. "Ah... Erza, when did you get here?"
"As, I was talking about earlier, Levy." Erza said completely ignoring what Lucy had said if she even heard her. "We would like you to work for Fairy Tail." Lucy's mouth dropped while Levy stared wide eyed in shock.
"Wh-what? But, I already have a job." She stuttered, Erza took another bite of her cake, unfazed. "It's up to you, but we know the skills you have and we think it would be useful for our agents. I'm not asking you to be an agent. I'm asking you to be a guider, someone who will guide our agents and also be able to pinpoint locations and decode devices or anything that could interfere with a mission." Levy was quiet, she looked over to Lucy, hoping she would provide any type of advice, but all she could do was shrug in shock.
"I- I don't..."
"You don't have to start up immediately, but consider it okay?" Erza smiled at her until her phone rang, she clicked her blue-tooth connected to her ear. "Excuse me, I have to take this call from the head." She said before walking off, with her cake.
"Who exactly is she?..." Lucy asked in wonder.
"Oh Erza? She's an S-class agent, one of the tops." Lucy and Levy whipped their heads back, where Lisanna stood, setting Lucy's pancakes in front of her while Mira came out, seconds after with Levy's waffles.
"Wow... How did you guys end up working here?" Levy asked as she grabbed her knife, spreading butter of her waffles. "Ah, Mira-nee used to be an S-class agent before, I was just a regular agent. But we stopped when we started noticing it was too risky for each other, so we help out around the headquarters now."
"Mira, you too!?" Lucy asked, Mira blushed and placed a hand to her cheek. Yeah, I guess... Ah, Lucy, I have a little favor for you since you're already done eating. Must've been hungry." Lucy blushed slightly, she was really hungry so she couldn't help herself.
"I know you probably haven't had a tour yet, but I need you to give this message to somebody for me. I'm about to go out to run errands with Lisanna, so I don't have time. Could you give this to them and say it's from the head? And I even have a map; I'll write where you have to go." She requested as she wrote down the directions on the paper. When she finished, she handed it to Lucy.
"Please, do you think you can do it?" Mira asked, Lucy glance down to Levy who was still eating very slowly, she waved her off. "Go ahead, Lu-chan. I'll still be here." Lucy nodded before turning back to Mira.
"I think so." Mira clapped her hands together in delight while Lisanna reappeared with a large purse. "Thank you Lucy! I knew I could count on you. See you soon!" She smiled before she and Lisanna walked out from behind the bar, putting a sign that said 'We're out for a minute.' and locking the bar door.
"Well, I guess I'll bring this to the person... This place is so weird, huh Levy. They act like we've been here our whole lives." Levy picked at her waffle.
"That's probably because they know everything about us... I don't think I would've been offered a job here if they didn't."
"Are you gonna accept?"
"... I don't know honestly. It'd be awesome, but I still have a pretty stable job already... I can't just quit." Lucy nodded in understanding before looking down at the note in her hand. "I guess you never can be really safe in this world. If someone wanted to, they could know all about you in an instant without your consent. We really do live in a scary world." She mumbled as she started heading out the café.
She followed the arrows Mira had written on the small map. It was still pretty confusing but she still found her way around, ending up at her destination; room 207. She hesitated before lightly knocking on the door. When no one answered after a while, she knocked a little harder.
Before she could even finish knocking, the door swung open, leaving her face to face with pecks... And abs, and biceps, triceps. Lucy ogled the body before her, but then snapped out of it rather quickly, raising her head to figure out who the perfectly sculpted work of art belonged to.
Natsu Dragneel stood there staring at her, a brow raised, his hands letting go of the towel wrapped around his neck. Lucy's face started getting red and hot...
With rage that is...
