As always Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima

Chapter 6

Wake

Lucy felt like she was floating, through blackness, not able to move, only able to drift. There was a stabbing pain in her right side. She tried to remember what caused it but couldn't. All she remembered was falling asleep on the train, she was with someone before she had fallen asleep, but who? Oh, right, it was Laxus.

Faintly she heard people yelling. That sounds like Freed, but why am I hearing him? He wasn't on the train. That sparky bastard. Where the hell is he?

She tried to remember what had happened, but is was hazy. She remembered suddenly tumbling through the air, many people screaming, being dragged through something sharp, and then just waiting. It had been so cold, all her warmth had left and she was frozen where she was, unable to speak or look around.

Lucy heard someone next to her then, felt the warmth of someone brushing her hair aside. More shouting followed by more silence. She felt someone undo her keys from her belt, the tried to tell them to stop but couldn't. She heard more yelling and realized it was Laxus, he was yelling at her keys for help. Damn it, Sparky, don't yell at my keys!

The yelling stopped and for a second Lucy felt the presence of a spirit, but it was quickly replaced by another one she didn't recognize. The next thing she knew she was being picked up by warm strong arms and then felt wind. I must be flying... one of my new spirits must be able to fly.

~~~ Five days after Laxus was released~~

Lucy felt someone grip her hand, and she tried to grip it back. She must have because she heard a few surprised squeals and footsteps rushing around.

"Lucy? Lucy can you hear me!?" Lucy faintly heard who she thought was Levy, and she felt someone take hold of her hand again. "Lucy, if you can hear me squeeze my hand. Nami, Alex go find Wendy and Erza, quickly!" Lucy tried to squeeze the hand, and this time she felt her hand moving.

"So cold," She muttered and the hand holding her left for a moment, she then felt another blanket being put on her and sighed. A few minutes later she heard hurried footsteps around her.

"Wendy, Erza! Thank goodness. I think she's waking up." She heard footsteps moving closer and then felt magic.

"Her vitals look good. Lucy, if you can still hear us can you try to open your eyes?"

With a bit of effort Lucy managed to open them and look around. She saw two bluenettes and a scarlet haired woman looking at her with concern.

"Wendy... Levy... Erza... What happened?"

"Well, Lucy," Wendy looked at her. "How much do you remember?"

"I was on a train, Laxus was there, I fell asleep, and then pain. Lots of pain in my right

side, and screaming. So much screaming." Lucy shuddered at the memory and her hands went to her side. She felt somethng under her top and lifted it up, only to find her right side bandaged. She stiffled a scream and started to feel her body, finding more bandages, her leg, hip, chest, even her neck, all along her right side.

"What happened to me?" It was so low a whisper only Wendy heard.

"You went through the train window. Laxus managed to somehow summon one of your spirits, and he flew you here on it. After that Juvia managed to get all the glass out and I healed your major wounds. That was a week ago."

"No. That's not all true..." she whispered.

"What do you mean?" Levy asked.

"I didn't go through the window, guys. I was dragged, I remember that much."

"Maybe you were dragged because whoever it was couldn't carry you," Levy suggested.

"It's possible," I doubt that was the reason. Lucy sat up and propped the pillow behind her, and winced as her stomach growled.

Erza laughed a bit, "Levy, why don't you go down to Mira and have her prepare some soup for Lucy. Wendy, why don't you get started checking out Lucy's bandages, and replace them if you need to. If everything is fine you should be able to leave here today," Erza smiled at Lucy and the bluenettes went to work. "Oh, the Fantasia Parade is in two weeks. Do you still want your own float, Lucy?"

Lucy thought for a moment. "I don't mind sharing, but whoever it is has to get along with my spirits. I was hoping to bring them out this year." Erza nodded and left, leaving her alone with Wendy.

"So Wendy, are you going to take these off or what?"

Wendy laughed. "Okay, but you're going to be naked for a while.

Lucy laughed at that. "Well at least you don't get embarrassed about size anymore." Lucy looked at the Sky Maiden. She sure has changed the past few years. She looks more like the Edolas Wendy now that she has grown. Wendy just laughed and went to get supplies from the cabinet, and Lucy stripped off her clothes and blushed when she saw the panties she was wearing.

"Uhh... Wendy.. Did Mira happen to change my clothes?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"No reason..." Note to self, get revenge on Mirajane. She looked down at the panties again and sighed, they were hot pink and made entirely of lace. They aren't too bad and it's only Wendy seeing them.

"Everyone was worried about you," Wendy started as she walked back to the bed.

"Was it that bad?"

"It was pretty bad when I got here, and that was after Juvia had cleaned you up." She started to undo the bandages. "Laxus was injured, too. He was in here for about two days before he woke up."

Lucy was quite for a bit as she watched Wendy work. With all these bandages I must have been full of glass. "So how bad was Laxus?"

"Well, he had glass all over his palms and knees, a cracked rib, and a minor head injury. The only reason he was in here so long was because Cana had to sedate him."

"Why?"

"Something about it was his fault you got hurt, and he wouldn't let any near you."

Lucy could feel the blush creeping up her neck. "He said and did that?"

"Yeah. Now, I don't need to bandage you up again because the injuries are healed, but there will be some scars along your right side. Which is what this is for." Wendy held up a clear glass bottle full of bright blue liquid. She opened it and Lucy caught a faint whiff of mint. "This will make the scars lighter and eventually fade, but it only works on recent scars. You have to let it dry completely before you put any clothing on over it, though." Wendy poured it on some gauze and applied it to Lucy's scars.

Lucy jumped a bit, "it tingles."

"That means its working, but it will take a few minutes to dry so try to sit still." Lucy nodded and stretched her arms behind her head and closed her eyes, listening to Wendy sing softly as she cleaned up.

Wendy was across the room when Lucy heard footsteps in the hall. That must be Levy with my food. She let out a sigh at the thought of soup.

"Oi! I have some food for Bl-Shit!"

Lucy's eyes snapped open and she saw a very red faced Laxus standing in the doorway, his mouth hanging open, her food all over the floor.
