"Well, what do you have to say for yourselves? Have you learned your lesson yet? Scary Lucy said.
"We have no idea what we did but we are so beyond sorry. We will never do anything else without your permission again, just please let us go home." Bickslow pleaded.
Scary Lucy glared at them. "Zen".
"The fuck" They all shouted at Lucy.
"We were grabbed and teleported to the top of a damn mountain and then had to climb down in with Bix as dead weight, all cause of Zen. Where is he, I'm going to fucking murder him, slowly". Cristoff shouted, his legendary patience was at its end. He was beyond pissed. Farron, Kaleb and Bickslow looked at him shocked, it had been a long time since Cris had been pushed so far and Lucy being the one to do it floored them. Vander, he could test Cris patience like no one else, so he was not that surprised.
"Ok, I concede, what did we do to Zen that warranted all this?" Vander stepped up to ask. "We're not were getting no where and I'm freezing my balls off here, can't have that now can we? I have big plans for them.
Scary Lucy face-palmed. "Of course, you would think with your cock first". Lucy looked around at them all, they really had no clue what they did, and it was just sad. She heaved a huge sigh and turned to walk away, motioning for them to follow her.
Getting into the SE car, Lucy just stared at them the whole way to the hotel, as they went up in the elevator and continued to stare at them as they sat on the sofas and chair and waited for food. Arman was waiting for them and he was very disappointed in them, more so when told that they didn't know what they did to warrant it all. Arman did think that it was a bit excessive, but he had learned that it was not good to argue with woman that was so mad, better for your health if you just went with the flow of things and tried to stay out of the line of fire.
"Um is anyone going to tell us what we did or where Zen is? If we did something to him shouldn't here mad at us?" Kaleb wanted to know.
"He's busy".
"Doing what or who?"
"I didn't do anything and should therefore not be included in this; Kaleb and I have work that needs our attention, and this has not helped our workload one bit". Farron was getting tired of the run around. This was a waste of time.
"The reason Zen is not here is because he doesn't actually know about any of this. Other than that, you pissed me off to levels that even Natsu and Gray have not been able to take me, and he sort of went into hiding. Though I doubt he sees it as hiding, but he decided to take some early classes the Academy." Lucy started out after heaving another sigh.
"What did we do" Cristoff felt like he was going to snap if he had to wait any longer.
"You abandoned Zen after getting him back is what you did, you insensitive assholes" Lucy stood up shouting. "He has been through hell for years, you thought he was dead, killed. You keep him in your memories Farron, told stories of him to all your siblings so that they would know him but as soon as you get him back you leave. He wasn't even settled fully in and you go out to a club. Knowing that Zen wasn't ready to be around others, hell he was barely coping with having his FAMILY back and you abandon him. What do any of you know about the struggles he has been having, the nightmares? Nothing is what. You know absolutely nothing. Some family you are!"
Lucy stood panting, glaring murder at them. Farron, Kaleb, Bickslow, Cristoff and Vander looked at each other. Did they really do that? Had they been neglecting Zen? They knew he had been through hell and back. They could see it in each other's eyes, they had done just what Lucy said they did and they have no excuse for it. They knew he needed time to adjust but he needed his family more and they had not been there.
All of them had tears streaming down their faces as they realize how they had treated Zen. They were no better than the monsters that had kept him from them for years. How could they ever hope to make it up to him, make him see that they loved him. They were so happy to have him back, the family complete.
"Wow remind me never to get on your bad side." Zen said from the back door. He had heard Lucy yelling as he landed and saw the pained d look on his brothers faces. He didn't blame them for continuing to live their lives, he had to adjust, and they didn't need to put their life on hold to walk him thought the new life he had now. Though it looked like Lucy thought they should.
Zen came into the room and pulled Lucy to a chair and sat her in his lap. "Lucy, I don't blame them for not staying by my side since I got back. I'm doing good, better each day. I can ask for help if I need it. It's enough to have my family back. I need time and space. It will all work out, I was going to ask to spend more time with them but …" he trailed off.
"I went crazy and over reacted?" Lucy finished for him. "You're not mad at them?"
"I wish they spent more time with me, but I also know they don't want to suffocate me, so no I'm not mad but they are not off the hook"
"We are so sorry Zen, anything you need just ask. We'll show you we can be the best brothers ever, let us make it up to you? "Farron was pleading with Zen.
Zen looked at them, they were devastated. "Ok" was all he could say, this would just be something else they would get through as a family. I hope no one pissing Lucy off again though.
