A/N: All right I thought I should explain why I made Jellal, Mystogan and Natsu's brother's, my original idea was to just genderbend Jellal and continue as if normal but I changed my mind because I felt that I could write this way out better as I am the oldest of 8 (including me) so I have firsthand knowledge on being on older brother and of how recklessly my younger brother's will behave, so there are my reason's .
Natsu stepped down off the railing and turned to Simon a large smirk spread across his face.
"What?" Natsu asked
"You got em all riled up," Simon said still smiling "You think we can do it?"
Natsu nodded "Yeah, no one can give you freedom, you have to take it."
"Well alright," Wally said with a determined look in his eyes "Not like we have any other choice."
Millianna and Sho stood up beside him with nod, Natsu gripped the sword tightly I made a promise to get you all out of here and I will do it he thought fiercely he looked towards the stop of the tower, just hold on brother we are coming.
Natsu's eyes opened and he groaned, a week of the same nightmares at least I can move again he got up and walked into the bathroom he splashed his face with some water and shook his head trying to get these thought's to leave him. he stared into his reflection specifically at the tattoo around his eye, he debated covering it again in his mind, I can run from my past as much as I want this tattoo is as much a part of me as my arms or legs enough of this, he stretched out slowly and walked back into the room, he leaned against the wall and watched a familiar redhead sleep, he shook his head and left the room and walked down the hallway.
Erza heard a door close and her head shot up, she looked around and scowled "Natsu, you foolish boy I am so sick of this crap." she said angrily jumping off the bed and storming down the hallway he stopped at the receptionists desk "Natsu just checked himself out again right?"
The woman nodded and Erza shook her head, How many people have to tell him that it will take another week before his magic energy is back up, this is what happens when you burn yourself out completely.
"Took you long enough," Erza's head whirled around and she glared at Natsu "Relax, all I want to do is pay a visit to the guild hall show everyone I am alright."
Erza shook her head "You are not alright, in fact you will likely fall over before we get halfway to the guild from here."
Natsu smirked "If that's the case you will have to carry me."
"Wha-What is this some big reason for you to be lazy?!" Erza stammered
Natsu shook his head as he began to walk towards the guild "Let's just go, remember if I injure myself and get bedridden for another week that gives you an excuse to stay close."
"Are you trying to say I like you being injured?" Erza demanded as she caught up with him
"Don't pretend you don't want me to be your cuddle buddy," Natsu taunted "Besides I pretty sure the guild has cake."
Erza stuck her tongue out at him "As if, I think you're the one that wants me around you."
Natsu smiled "Well what would I do without my awesome girlfriend to save me?" Natsu smirked and feigned dramatically.
"I about to hurt you if you don't stop being a fool, why can't you just be happy about laying around like a normal person." Erza complained
"The heart monitor annoys me," Natsu stated with a shrug "Besides the hospital bed is nothing like mine, I would be happy to lay around at my own house."
Erza shook he head "So why are we going to the guild hall?"
"I told you, they have cake and I want some." Natsu answered flatly
Erza noticed he hadn't covered up his tattoo "Oh, are you sure it's not to tell everyone your last name is Fernandes?"
Natsu shrugged "I decided not to bother covering it up."
Erza felt her eyes grow heavy and she fell forward, Natsu barely managed to catch her "What the hell, if this is some kind of joke it isn't funny Erza wake up!" he demanded with a small shake.
"I knew it was you!" A voice he barely recognized exclaimed, Natsu set Erza down carefully and turned around, his breath caught as he began to speak and he took a step back.
"You have always been immune to my sleep spell, Brother." The blue haired boy in front of him cocked his head slightly.
"R-Raken is that you?" Natsu managed to breathe out.
The man pulled down his face mask, to reveal his face "Been a long time big brother as you can see I have gotten taller."
Natsu sighed and shook his head "I see you are still as much of a joker as you used to be, so all this time you were really Mystogan huh?"
Raken nodded "Yeah, I had a feeling it was you but you always went to sleep before today."
Natsu smirked "Yeah, I faked it to not be suspicious."
"You say that like I am the evil one," Raken said sadly "I know about Siegrain and Jellal."
Natsu nodded "Yeah I'd expect you too, although why did you choose Mystogan?"
He shrugged "It sounded cool at the time."
Natsu slumped with a small smile "You really haven't changed at all, would you mind waking her up." he gestured to Erza.
Raken raised his eyebrow "Word at the guild is you two are an item now, is it true?"
"You won't wake her up until I tell you will you?" Natsu concluded
Raken nodded "Oh, you know me so well." he smiled and moved his head forward slightly.
Natsu chuckled "Alright, we are as you so deftly put it an 'item'."
Raken stepped forward and stared at Natsu intently "Big brother you love her don't you," Natsu blushed slightly and Raken jumped into the air "Haha you do! I have the perfect weapon against you now!"
Natsu grabbed his collar and pushed him against the wall "What was that about a weapon little brother, you know I could just teach you a lesson like we used too."
Raken gulped "Did I say weapon? I meant congrats at finding the one and all that." he smiled sheepishly.
Natsu rolled his eyes "Why would you need a weapon against me anyway?"
Raken scratched the back of his head with a wide smile "Well I uh kind of got kicked out of my house for not paying rent."
Natsu slapped him across the back of the head "You didn't pay rent, Jellal and I raised you better than that!"
"Yeah I know I know," Raken said rubbing the back of his head "It was just I was always on job's and never there so I sort of forgot about it."
Natsu glared at him "You 'forgot' about your house, honestly Raken what am I going to do with you?"
"Well offer your little brother a place to stay would be nice," Raken suggested with a grin "And maybe a meal?"
Natsu rolled his eyes "How did you survive on your own for this long?"
Raken smiled "Well you see I am not alone."
Natsu felt a sudden impact against his face and he flew back a few feet, he was looking up at the sky in wonder, who the hell just hit me he sat up slowly and was staring at a small girl in her early teen's she had a blue aura around her right hand and was giving Natsu a death glare. Natsu blinked a few times nope still there "Um, hi?" he said questioningly
"Wendy," Raken said sharply "You just punched my already injured brother across the courtyard!"
Wendy turned towards Raken "Well why the hell was he pressing you against the wall!"
"Because I am a fool, I told you my brother's practically raised me," Raken explained "When he heard about how I had pretty much disregarded everything they taught me he got a little angry that's all."
Natsu groaned as he got to his feet "Wendy was it?"
The girl seemed to calm down but she still stood between him and Raken defensively "Look calm down, I am sorry I grabbed you Raken."
Raken placed his hand on Wendy's shoulder "It's fine, I actually expected way worse."
Natsu rolled his eyes "Hey after Jellal and I got captured I can't really point fingers."
"Well at least your back," Raken said with a nod "Oh, Wendy Marvel meet Natsu Fernandes, my older brother and our meal ticket for awhile."
Natsu groaned "So you are going to rope me into caring for her too, why don't you have your own money?"
"Well when the guy kicked me out he made me square up, so I am broke again." Raken said with a cheery shrug.
"I supposed I can move a few more set's into the house across the street to clear out another room," Natsu thought for a moment before looking down at Erza who was still asleep "Raken wake her up we have some planning to do."
Raken nodded and released his spell, she stared up at a blue haired boy and girl who both looked down at her with smiles, the boy reminded her oddly of Natsu "Hi, I am Raken and this is Wendy!" Erza stared up at them in bewilderment.
"Erza, we are going to need to have a chat about the last what was it 10 minutes," Natsu explained as he lifted her off the ground "We are going back to my place."
Erza just nodded and followed them, she felt like she had heard of Wendy before but she couldn't place it. she saw Natsu buckle and she rushed forward to catch him "See you injuries are still bad, you shouldn't be pushing yourself."
"I'll rest when we get back to the house," Natsu stated firmly "Raken come here."
The boy complied and Natsu leaned on him "Look's like your little girlfriend took a little out of me that I didn't have so you are getting me home if you want to stay."
Raken nodded "Well let's go."
Natsu unlocked the door to his house and with Raken's help managed to get to the couch, he sat and sighed heavily "Alright all of you sit down."
Raken and Wendy seemed to challenge each other over who would get the single seat, the two looked at each other with a wide smile as they dashed for it, Raken landed on slightly before Wendy landed next to him.
"Hey, I was here first slowpoke," Raken groaned "Find your own seat!"
Wendy patted her head and wiggled into a more comfortable position over the top of him he laid back lazily "Nope, I think right here is good."
Natsu watched the ordeal with amusement, Raken's blush was icing on the cake he gave him a knowing smirk.
"All right Raken," Natsu said after the commotion had died down "Spill it."
Raken frowned while he decided where to start "Well I suppose it started the day you and Jellal disappeared, I started looking for you two with only that old training staff remember the one?"
Natsu nodded with a smile "Yeah, Jellal and I build it for you because you really wanted to practice that style of magic, who knew you would actually be good at it."
Raken nodded with a smile "Yeah exactly, I was leaving another town searching for any sign of you two, when I stumbled upon Wendy here in the forest, apparently she is the Sky Dragon slayer and her Dragon Grandeeney had just up and vanished."
"Wait a minute was this about 7 years ago, 7/7 right?" Erza cut in with the question and Wendy nodded.
"That's the exact same time Igneel disappeared!" Erza exclaimed
Wendy's eyes widened "Wait you are the fire dragon slayer?!"
Erza nodded proudly "In the flesh."
"Anyway," Raken cut in "I ran in to her and we were travelling for awhile then I heard a rumor that someone that's description matched yours was in the Fairy Tail guild and I came here." Raken finished
"Then under the persona Mystogan you joined the guild to look for me, but you assumed I wasn't me because I fell asleep the first time you used the sleep spell, I get it." Natsu finished
Raken nodded "But at that point I didn't want to just quit the guild so I stayed around good thing too cause I finally found you."
Erza looked back and forth between the two and everything suddenly fell into place in her head "Wait you two are brothers!?"
Natsu frowned at her "Yeah, we told you that didn't we?"
"No," Erza shook her head "No you didn't you told me Siegrain was a projection of your brother and that he was evil that's all I know about you."
Raken looked at her in disbelief "We have the same eye tattoo, he told you that only our family has them right?"
"Well yeah he did," Erza answered "But I hadn't actually noticed yours until just now."
"Well it's nice to meet you Erza, I am Raken the younger brother of Natsu." Raken introduced with a small bow of his head.
"Raken, I know Wendy isn't a member of the guild why didn't you recruit her in, I am sure it wouldn't have made a difference." Natsu looked at him confused.
"She is in the guild," Raken said with a smile "You were on a longer job when it happened so you must have missed it."
"I think someone would have told me about the Sky dragon slayer joining the guild." Natsu retorted
Erza turned around and looked at Natsu "Um, we did Natsu you just didn't listen."
Natsu slumped "Please tell me you didn't open with a guess what Erza, you know I never listen when you open with that because it is never anything seriously."
Erza glared at him "Well who's stupid fault is that?!"
"Telling someone that another dragon slayer is in the guild," Natsu glared back "Is not a 'guess what' scenario!"
"Whatever." Erza huffed
Natsu rolled his eyes and turned back to Raken and Wendy, he opened his mouth but Raken cut him off "So what about you?"
Natsu sighed and looked at the floor, "All right you all deserve to know."
A/N: All right, that is the new team Erza! (well team Natsu technically) I hope you all like it and for anyone that is wondering (Ra-Ken) is the correct pronunciation (just in case) as always hope you all enjoyed and I will see you on the next one!
Oh and the next chapter of Dragonfire's passion will be out soon, the next chapter has giving me a lot of trouble to get it to a point where I like it and it won't be much longer!
