'Thinking'
Chapter 10: The last year
Magnolia, Fiore, X785
The town of Magnolia was busy as usual with people doing their own things be it working, shopping, or everyday things like that. At Fairy Tail, even though it has been a year since Lucy became guild master, it was still a rowdy guild. Sure Lucy did her best to keep the guild together and running, but some people thought it was best to move on. And like Lucy said she didn't stop them from leaving.
Currently Lucy was sitting in the master's office working on the one thing all leaders hate with a passion, paper work. It was something she hated, but was something she had to do, or else something would go wrong somehow. Finally after what felt like forever Lucy finally finished the last paper work for the day, as she got up and looked at a nearby mirror and saw her reflection in it.
The last year had been good for her. She had grown out her hair a bit and tied it into a ponytail on her right side of her head. She now wears and low cut shirt and shorts now, with a belt. On her belt she has her Fleuve d'étoiles on the back and a collapsible bow staff that Tony made for her on her left side. On her right side she keeps a clip to hold her DISK's right next to her silver keys.
After making sure she looked acceptable Lucy walked out of her office (something she was still getting used to) and was going to hang out with her friends. As she opened her door she was almost ran over by Steve who was jogging by with several guild members following behind him. As she watched on she saw Droy, who looked a little fatter than he did a year ago, run by and he looked like he was about to fall over from exhaustion, only for Jet to help him out and help him regain his balance.
Lucy wanting to make sure everything was good with them walked over. "Droy are you ok?" Asked Lucy with a little worry as she saw he was breathing hard from his run.
The two looked over at her as Droy stood tall. "I'm fine master, just catching my breath is all." Answered Droy as his breathing calmed down a bit.
Accepting his answer Lucy put on a smile for him. "Ok, just don't push yourself too hard ok. I know Steve can be hard, but he doesn't want you to get an early grave." Lucy joked a little bit about Steve training as Droy waved her worries off.
"I know, but I got myself into this mess, so I'll get myself out of it." Stated Droy as he started to run again and tried to catch up with the others before they got too far ahead of him.
Jet looked over at Lucy as he got ready to go after him. "Don't worry master I'll make sure he doesn't push himself too hard." Said Jet as he took off after his friend leaving Lucy alone with her thoughts.
'Looks like Steve's exercise programs is still going strong.' Thought Lucy as she thought back to how Steve's training started.
Fairy Tail serval months ago
Lucy was currently heading back to the guild form a meeting with the town's mayor about the future of the guild. The mayor was wondering what was going on with them and where they were heading, but Lucy put his worries to rest with some help from Tony and Steve.
As they were walking back to the guild Lucy looked over to the two who were walking side by side, both wearing suits for the meeting. "Guy's thanks again for the help, I don't think I could have done that without your support." Said Lucy as Tony just waved her off.
"You did fine on your own, you didn't need our help." Replied Tony causing Lucy to smile at the complement that he gave her.
Soon the three of them reached the guild and went in and got a surprise with what they saw. Sitting at one of the tables was Droy, but he was eating a meal that should be able to feed five easily all by himself. Seeing this Lucy went over to Jet who was nearby watching his with a look of shame.
"Jet what's going on here?" Questioned Lucy as Jet looked over to her with a bit of shock on his face at seeing her back so soon.
"Aw Lucy, err, I mean master I didn't see you come in." Said Jet as he got over his surprise of seeing her back so soon.
Lucy looked over to Droy. "Seeing anyone eat this much would make anyone have a hard time to see anything else. So I'll ask again what's going on here?" Repeated Lucy as Jet look of shame increased.
"See Droy is taking out his misery of losing Levy out on food and is eating a lot lately because of it." Answered Jet as Lucy look down with shame. She also missed Levy after all she was one of her best friends, but Jet and Droy were on a team with her and knew her longer then her, so of course they missed her more than she did.
Meanwhile Steve heard everything and went over to Droy. When he reached him he took the edges of the table and then pushed the table away from Droy. Droy was surprised by this and looked to see who did it and saw Steve standing there.
"Hey what's the big idea!" Demanded Droy as Steve walked over to him and grabbed him by his shirt as the guild watched on.
"I understand you miss your friend, but eating like this isn't the way to solve your problems. It will only make it worse as time goes on." Steve said calmly as Droy got angry and got out of Steve grasp.
"What do you know!?" Yelled Droy as he raised his voice and the guild was quite as they watched on.
Steve just stood there for a second before giving Droy an icy glare that would give even Gray chills.
"Where I came from I fought in a war. This war was a global war where many people lost their lives. I fought to stop this war with the help of my team the Howling commandoes. While out on a mission I lost my best friend Bucky. He only joined that unit because I pushed him to, but if I didn't then maybe he would have lived through the war. But I live everyday knowing that I watched my best friend died in front of me. But I still move forward, for him and myself, just like what Lucy said to all of you so if you still want to eat then go ahead, but if you want to make yourself better, then come find me and I'll help you back into shape and get stronger." Said Steve as he walked away and headed towards Lucy.
"I'm going to change into my uniform now." Was all Steve said as he left the room leaving everyone thinking about what he said.
Present day
As she thought about it Lucy was heading towards the main area of the guild. 'It may have taken a couple of months but I'm glad Droy took Steve up on his offer.' Thought Lucy as she was thinking that was the start of 'Steve's gym class' as Tony called it. Now every week, whenever Steve is around, he helps any guild members who want to get stronger or get into better shape, mostly by having them run drills and such. She even saw some towns folk in with the group every once and a while.
As Lucy thought about it she reached the railing on the second level as she looked over the guild. She saw many familiar faces mixed in with some new ones. Even though Fairy Tail lost its more well-known members, the Avengers have made up for it by making a name for themselves here over the last year.
Lucy then thought back to how some low-level dark guild took over a small town and was making big demands from the magic counsel, or else they would kill everyone in the town. Things could have ended badly there and then if Lucy hadn't stepped in and unleashed the Avengers on them. It wasn't a long battle and in the end everyone was safe and there was some damage to the town, but it wasn't too bad mostly broken streets. When word got out about how Fairy Tail handled the situation, many wanted to know what happened and who was involved.
So Lucy get up some interviews with some of the news and magazine company's and gave them interviews with the Avengers. Soon afterwards many wanted to meet them and/or work with them so some of the Avengers joined Fairy Tail like Janet and Steve.
Lucy was so into her thoughts she failed to hear someone walking up behind her until a hand was placed on her shoulder. Looking over to see who it was Lucy saw it a robotic being that was silver and had red glowing eyes. It had a mouth and it too was glowing red. This was Ultron a robot Tony made to help around the guild and his lab.
When Tony first showed every Ultron it was a mixed reaction with people running away and some trying to attack it. It took some time but people have grown accustomed to it, but not by much. Lucy would never say it out loud, but she still is freaked out by it and wanted to get rid of it. But it has helped out so she was willing to give it a chance.
Ultron then spoke to Lucy. "Miss Lucy, master Tony would like to see you in his lab." Stated Ultron as Lucy stared at it for a second.
"Thank you Ultron, I'll go see what he wants." Replied Lucy as she walked away from Ultron, not seeing Ultron watching her as she left with a calculating gaze, like it was it was learning all it could about her.
Lucy then headed down stairs and then went through another door near the side of the building. Lucy soon walked into and through Tony's lab and thought about how it got here.
'I can't believe that just over a year ago I was held prisoner here, and now its Tony's own lab.' Thought Lucy as she stopped and looked at the area where she was held prisoner by M.O.D.O.K. 'Though I could have done without Tony's whining about how long a walk it was from the guild hall to his lab.'
It was true after a couple of mouths of going back a forth from the lab Tony had enough and wanted to lab right next to Fairy Tail for an easier commute. After a huge fight with Lucy the two agreed that the lab could be put next to the guild, but Tony must inform Lucy of any and all experiment he was preforming no matter how small they are.
Lucy then heard Tony talking to some scientist yet again via communication lacrima. Ever since the Twin peak mountains many have called Tony for help on their projects. Though Tony has turned down many of the calls, he only takes the interesting ones as he says.
As Lucy neared Tony, she saw him wearing grey sweat pants and a black t-shirt, and that he was finishing up his call. "Now if you follow the plans that I sent you, you should have no problems." Said Tony as he saw Lucy enter in the room. "Now if you excuse me I have another appointment to deal with." Finished Tony as he turned off the lacrima and turned to fully face Lucy.
"Tony, Ultron said you wanted to see me?" Asked Lucy wondering what he wanted to talk to her about.
"Yes, you see I found something out about the DISK's and need to tell you something very important about it." Said Tony as he looked for something on one of his desks and couldn't find it anywhere. "Peter where is the data I need!?" Yelled Tony as a man appeared form the ceiling as he descended on what looked like a spider thread. He was wearing a black and blue suit with black lines running all over it. On his chest and back was a spider symbol. He wore a mask with the same web design on it and it had white lenses where the eyes are.
"You know you don't have to yell Tony." Said Peter as he dropped to the ground and held up some papers. "As for your data it right here. I was just going over it again to double check some figures." He finished as Tony took the data and looked thought it.
As Tony did that Lucy though back to how she first meet Peter Parker aka the amazing Spider-man.
Five months ago
Lucy was asking herself the same question over and over again at her current situation. 'How did I wind up here.' She thought as she looked around her and saw Vulcans surrounding her on all sides. She was told by Tony that there was a DISK in this area and she left Marco in charge as she went to find it. But somehow she ended up in a nest of Vulcans and they weren't happy to see her one bit. They then all did something weird and parted ways. At first she thought they were going to let her go, but she was then proven wrong. Stepping forward was a beefed-up Vulcan, but Lucy then recognized that it was the Vulcan that Tony beat when they first meet. The Vulcan made eye contact with Lucy and then roared at her.
Lucy then got out Hulk's and Thor's DISK's. "Sorry but your still going to lose. Hulk, Thor D-smash." Cried Lucy as the two appeared and looked around them.
"It seems that a zoo has lost all its monkeys." Said Thor as he saw the Vulcan's getting angrier at being called monkeys.
"Can I smash them?" Asked Hulk as he cracked his knuckles getting ready to fight them all.
"Go to town." Was all Lucy said as Hulk Jumped up and smashed the ground in front of sending about half the Vulcans flying away. Thor not wanting to be left out jumped into action and swung his hammer sending more of them flying. Soon Hulk and Thor took out all the Vulcan's, except the leader and were about to get him when Lucy stopped them.
"No, he's mine." Said Lucy as she brought out her bow staff and looked at the Vulcan in front of her. Seeing the look on her Face Thor stepped down, but Hulk looked like he wanted to smash some more.
"Make it fast" Was all Hulk said as he sat down and watch on.
Lucy charged at the Vulcan and swung her staff hitting the Vulcan in the head and disorienting him. Lucy then pressed her advantage by thrusting the staff serval times into its gut making it fall over. The Vulcan looked up and saw Lucy looking down on it. Seeing how she was handling him the Vulcan rose up with a mighty roar and swung its fist at Lucy. Lucy ducked down under the fist and then spun around and nailed the Vulcan in the head. The blow was so strong the Vulcan was wobbly on its feet as it tried to regain itself. Seeing that it was nearly done for Lucy then jumped up and finished it with her Lucy Kick. The Vulcan fell to the ground and wasn't going to get up any time soon. Lucy then looked over to Hulk and Thor and saw them clapping at her fight.
"Nicely done. You used those moves I showed you quite well." Praised Thor as Hulk looked indifferent at the scene.
"Nice smashing." Was all Hulk said, but Lucy knew he like it.
"Come let's find that DISK, before anything else happens." Said Lucy as they looked around the area for the DISK. After some time Thor found the DISK and handed it to Lucy. Looking at it, she saw it was blue and the Picture on it she saw was looked like a man wearing a spider themed costume. Curious as to it was Lucy wanted to ask, but the sound of stirring Vulcans made her wait till later.
Later at Lucy's place
Later that day at Lucy's Place, Lucy had turned on the projection for the new DISK she found and found the hero known as Spider-man and he had quite the story to share with the Avengers who joined him in projection mode.
"So let me get this straight when Loki was making his final move, he went out and captured you in a DISK. After he boasted how he captured many more heroes beforehand." Said Tony trying to make sure he understood everything.
"Yep, last thing I remember was Loki knocking me out, and then waking up her to see your friend Lucy here looking at me." Answered Spider-man as the Avengers thought about it.
"So that means there are more heroes out there then we originally though." Said Steve as Janet wondered something they were all thinking.
"Then what do we do then?" Asked Janet since they had no real plan to begin with and know they found this out.
The others were quite as they thought of an answer, but so far they had nothing to say. "I guess we do what we were doing before, going after the DISK's when we find them." Answered Lucy as she spoke up to the group, giving them her option on the situation.
The others thought about it and agreed with her. "I guess that's the best thing we can do at this time." Said Tony as Lucy then looked at Spider-man and thought it was time to introduce herself to him.
"Hello my name is Lucy Heartfilia, it nice to meet you. What your name?" Said Lucy as she introduced herself to Spider-man.
"Nice to meet you Lucy, the names Spider-man." Replied Spider-man causing Lucy to frown a little making Spidey wondering what he said.
Seeing this Janet stepped in. "Lucy prefers to call us by our real names, not our super hero names." Supplied Janet as Spidey looked at them all and knew where this had led to in the past.
"I don't like giving my name out to people I don't truly know, in the past it has hurt my friends and family." Said Spider-man as Lucy hung her head down hearing this. "But maybe in time, I'll tell you." Finished Spidey bring a smile to Lucy face.
Present
Lucy was then brought out of her thoughts when she heard Tony yelling her name at her. "Lucy as you even listening to what I'm saying?" Asked Tony as Lucy was brought back to the present.
"Sorry Tony I was just remembering how we first meet Peter here." Answered Lucy as she starched the back of her neck in embarrassment for zoning out like that.
Tony just rubbed his eyes in frustration at it. "Well as I was saying, snice we first meet you couldn't keep us out that long, but now you can keep three of us out of the DISK's for about 24 hours each. But when you're in a fight that number changes depending on how many heroes you smash and the state you're in." Said Tony as he explained things to Lucy who just listened to what he had to say.
"We also tried using other forms of powers, and no I'm still not saying magic, to activate the DISK's. But so far your celestial powers seem to be the only form of power that works." Continued Tony as Lucy understood everything so far.
"I know all this Tony what are you trying to say?" Asked Lucy wondering where this was going.
"Well me and Peter took a look at this data and we think that maybe one day your power will be strong enough to free us of the DISK's forever." Summarized Tony shocking Lucy, she always wanted them to be free, but never had a way till now.
"So that mean you all have a chance to be free." Said Lucy who was still in shock a little.
"Yeah one day all the heroes you have will be free." Said Tony as Lucy started to think of all the heroes she had at the moment.
'Then that means Ironman, Hulk, Wasp, Captain America, Thor, Spider-man, War Machine, and Hawkeye will be free one day.' Thought Lucy as she looked at the others with a smile.
"Well I say we celebrate this great news, what do you guys think?" Asked Lucy as Tony got a smile on his face form that idea.
"I agree let have some drinks." Said Tony as the three of them walked out of the lab feeling pretty good about themselves at the moment. Little did they know trouble was on its way.
Loki's location
After a year of working this problem, Loki was finally ready to punch a hole in this barrier. It did frustrate him that he had to work on it for so long, but even he had to admit that whoever did this spell was good. Currently Loki was speaking some strange ancient language as the barrier around the island was starting to fade a little in one area. Once the spell was done there was a large enough hole in the barrier for Loki and one other to get through.
As Loki flew through the hole he checked this remaining time. 'This spell won't last long, I must find someone fast and hope they have strong ties to the girl.' Thought Loki as he reached the ground and started too looked around.
He saw battle damage all around him, but there was no one to be seen. Taking a look around he finally found someone laying on the ground. Smiling Loki levitated the person up and then flew towards the hole. Once through he looked at the person and went into their memories. Once he was done a grin appeared on his face as he started to laugh. This person had very strong ties to the girl and hopefully she had strong ties to this person.
"Soon both my brother and his allies will fall, by my hands." Cried Loki as he continued to laugh as he went back to Alavarez Empire to get some more tools to help him, finish his brother once and for all.
Sorry if the chapter seemed a little short it was more of a stage setting chapter for things to come. Also for the adventures Lucy did in the past year I might special chapters for each of them. Am I'm still not sharing who Loki grabbed, you're just going to have wait and see.
And on a side note the next chapter won't take so long, now onto the next chapter preview.
After enjoying the peace that has been the guild since Lucy appointment, Loki strike and bring terror and destruction with him. Can Lucy and the Avengers stand up to Loki and his evil plans, or will Loki and his secret weapon be their down fall.
