Chapter 3

Sup guys I'm so sorry that my updates take so long, but homework is a b#tch. Cooky guy is back(AKA Doom Marine)! I love you! Also he wants to see a disclaimer XD. I don't own Fairytail or Arrow if I did I wouldn't be here, I'd be sitting in my hot tub on the back of my rainbow pooping horse.

The guild door slowly opened, revealing the entire guild. Erza and Gray both lifted their heads as they noticed that the entire guild had suddenly become very quiet. Natsu held his breath as countless familiar eyes stared at him. Even Cana had put her barrel of beer down to see who was at the door. What happened next surprised Natsu as well as poor Wendy.

"Natsu!" The entire guild called out and tackled him to the ground. Even Gray was hugging Natsu tightly. Everyone practically crushed him in the dog-pile-like-hug. This continued for several minutes before Natsu opened his mouth.

"I missed you guys too." At this statement the entire guild hall roared with laughter.

"What is all this rachis? I can't go to the john for five minutes without you brat's..." Makarov cut himself off as he stared at the pink haired mage. His frown turned into a big and bright smile as he made eye contact with the mage.

"Hey gramps." Natsu called out with a small smile.

"Well why didn't you bratts celebrate louder! A member of our family has returned!" This caused the entire guild to erupt in shouts of joy and happiness. For 5 long years their brother and friend was missing and now that he was finally home they could celebrate!

Bier barrels were opened, hugs were given all around and a few people stayed by Natsu to hear of their friends adventure. Though they all ignored the two white haired mages faking a smile, to them it was Natsu's fault that Lissanna didn't return home. Of course they were glad that their friend was home, some wounds would never heal.

Natsu tried his best to answer everyone's questions as undetailed as possible, but they wouldn't leave the subject alone.

"So Natsu, did you at least learn how to fight properly on the island?" Gray asked as he, Natsu, Erza, Gajeel and Levy sat at a table.

"I'd rather leave the Tenrou Island where it floats than talk about it Gray." Natsu warned as his patients started to thin out.

"Come on it couldn't have been that bad, Natsu?" Gajeel smirked.

"Enough. Natsu doesn't want to talk about it so he doesn't need to." Erza interrupted the argument.

"Agh come on, Erza. Deserted on a tropical island is on my bucket list and flame brain has already crossed it off." Gray smirked.

"Are you and idiot or what ice for brains. I said I don't want to talk about it." Natsu stated calmly. The pink haired mage could feel unwanted memories return. He could hear the gunshot rip through the air and he could hear himself screaming at his father's lifeless body.

"What you want to go, Fire-freak?" Gray challenged. Now that was the last straw. Natsu had, had enough.

"I said shut up!" Natsu yelled as his entire body caught on fire as he flipped the table. The heat of the fire was so intense it burned Natsu's entire upper attire to ash. Before he could lay a hand on Gray though he stopped his fist right in front of the ice mage's nose. He eqstinguished his flame and pulled his arm back.

As the pink haired man tried to steady his breathing so he could regain his composure, several gasps echoed through the guild. Only when Natsu started to look around had he noticed that they were all staring at him, or rather his scars.

"I knew this was a bad idea." Natsu muttered to himself before he stormed out of the guild. Erza moved to go after him, but Makarov stopped her.

"The boy needs some time, Erza. Let him be." Erza nodded obediently, but she turned her head to Gajeel and Gray, who were both trying to slowly creep away.

"Oh, no." Levy said as she ducked behind the table.

Meanwhile Natsu made his way back to the Dragneel mansion, brooding over most things.

"I knew going to the guild was a horrible idea." He sighed terribly. His mind kept echoing with his fathers gunshot. With Lissanna's screams and the noise and cracks of the boat that sank all the way to the ocean floor. Only when tears started to sting at the back of his eyes did he set to work. He wasn't far from the mansion and that meant he wasn't far from his crate. At this moment all of his strength was in that one single box.

Luckily his mother was at the office and so was his stepfather. He quickly made his way up the stairs to his room and pushed the door open. He would've tried to reconnect with his friends and he would've tried to make it up to Elfman and Mirajane for what ever they thought he did wrong, but that wasn't going to happen. He didn't have the luxury of friends or family anymore. All he had now was his father's list and his bow.

This was where the people's rain of poison ended and where he would heap his city and his world. He would fix his father's and everyone else's mistakes. This is where he would put his fist down. No one would harm another soul on his watch, eve if it meant that his soul would turn to ash.

As Natsu ran his hands over the wooden crate his father's words echoed through him once more.

"We are now one, Dad."
