After being carried like a sack of potatoes for ten minutes Lucia got tired of punching Laxus back. She didn't want to kill or him, or even maim him so using her super-strength to get rid of him was also a no go. Becoming a member of Fairy Tail so soon hadn't been in her plans, but then again, she did miss having hot water and a soft bed.

Her plan had been to roam around until the age Lucy joined the Guild and then she would look for stories about Salamander until she eventually met up with Natsu and Happy like cannon. Those plans, however, where now scrapped.

Laxus speeded up his pace, and in ten more minutes, they arrived in the town of Magnolia. People threw them looks before dismissing the teenager carrying a child over his shoulder, she rolled her eyes. The people in this town were probably used to the Fairy Tail craziness already.

She involuntarily tensed when they walked into the town, Laxus had probably noticed. She knew that nobody could possibly link her with Lucy Heartifilia, but after so many months on the run and avoiding other humans it was strange to see so many people again.

It didn't take long for them to reach the Guild, she didn't get to look at the building from outside since Laxus went ahead and kicked the front door open. Since leaving the mountain he had been a bit quiet, she didn't make conversation either. He grunted here and there, and commented on how little she weighed.

"Lana where's the master?" Laxus asked the waitress as he reached the Guild's bar. Lana was an older woman with dark purple hair, who was at the moment serving beer to a few guys sitting nearby.

"Upstairs Laxus. Who's that?" The woman replied, nodding towards me.

"A stray cat I picked up in the mountains." The blonde lazily replied, before starting to go up the stairs onto the second floor.

"Who's a cat you bolt head?" Lucia growled pulling some of his hair in retaliation.

"Tch." He grumbled, probably wanting nothing more than sending a few lightning bolts her way. "Be quiet brat."

He reached the second floor and walked to one of the last doors at the end of the corridor, at which he proceeded to open the door with a kick again. This bloody idiot had no manner.

"Gramps I brought you a new pet." Laxus declared as soon as he walked in, throwing her into the floor without much care.

"Careful with the goods dipshit." She snarled rubbing her back, her but was probably going to be purple tomorrow because the idiot had thrown her down to the floor.

"Laxus where have you been? I was worried!" And elder's voice said, and Lucia turned around to see an older tinny man on top of the desk, looking worriedly at the teen.

"I was training." The boy replied with a shrug before pointing at me. "I found this punk in the woods living with the Vulcans, I thought you might like another brat running around."

The older man turned his head slightly to look at her. "Hello my dear, what's your name? I'm Makarov Dreyar, the Master of Fairy Tail."

"Lucia Senju." She replied with a shrug. She wasn't sure how to act around these people. With Laxus she had merely been her sarcastic blunt self, but she was aware that she wasn't the most social person around. Well, she didn't want to pretend to be someone else either so she would be herself, but would try to curb her bluntness a bit.

"How old are you child?" The Master asked with a smile, taking her nonchalant attitude in stride.

"Ten." She replied, glancing at Laxus who was observing her from the corner of his eyes.

"And where are your parents?" The Master inquired, this time frowning a bit.

"Not around." Lucia said, this time rolling her eyes. She didn't particularly want to talk about that.

"Are you a mage?" The Master asked, changing the subject.

"The brat has super strength, destroyed with the ground with a punch." Laxus informed, speaking up. The Master blinked slowly, before looking at her with interest.

"Well that is one of the most basic magics a mage could possibly learn." Makarov said with a nod.

"Gramps it didn't feel like normal strengthening magic." Laxus commented, still watching her. "Strengthening magic makes the body stronger, this was like she was releasing power from her fist."

The older man was about to speak again when she decided to interrupt.

"Ahem." She gained their attention. "Technically speaking I'm Celestial Spirit Mage." She pulled her keys from her necklace and showed them.

"How rare." The Master commented as he saw her keys. "And you even have three Zodiac keys, very impressive."

"What the hell?" Laxus said, surprised. "Then how the hell did you throw that punch?"

"It's not strengthening magic, at least I don't think it is." Lucia replied. "I have very good control over the Ethernano in my body and, when I want, I can focus it in my hands and realize it."

"You can control it with such precision?" This time the Master was looking at her with wide eyes.

"I trained myself in it." She informed, to her it wasn't that special. To them, who had never heard of such a thing, it was something else.

"Child, mages are taught to increasing their Ethernano levels so that they have more energy to power their magic. They are also taught to control their magic, but to control the Ethernano itself is unheard of." The old man explained.

"I know, I came up with it." Lucia replied with a nonchalant shrug. Technically she stole it from Naruto, but they don't need to know that.

The old man gapped at her, while Laxus rolled his eyes at her attitude. Whatever, she didn't particularly care about what they thought but maybe she shouldn't tell other people about how she got her strength.

"Anyway..." Laxus said, moving the conversation along. They weren't getting any more information from her for now. "The brat wants to join."

"You kidnapped me and dragged me here." She deadpanned at the guy.

"I don't see you leaving." Laxus shrugged like he had nothing to do with her presence. She rolled her eyes at the guy but stayed where she was, there was no point in leaving now.

"Well then, where do you want your Guild Mark and in which colour?" The Master asked, stopping their bantering even if he looked amused.

"Red, and on my right shoulder please." Lucia replied. Since she wore her kimono loose around the shoulders it would be easy enough to show her Guild Mark when needed.

The old man nodded and stamped her in the shoulder with the Guild's Mark. The colour matched her outfit, eyes and face marks- she quite liked it.

"Now let's go downstairs and introduce our new member." The Master said with a smile, as he walked out of the room. "We're discussing where you're staying later. Every female member of Fairy Tail can stay at Fairy Hills, our female dormitory. The rent is 100,000 jewels but you only need to pay at the end of the month and there are a few easy jobs for younger kids around your age."

"Fairy Tail, I want to announce that we have a new member!" The Master reached the stairs and said loudly, pulling her along with his tiny hand. "This is Lucia Senju, our newest mage. You know what that means! Let's PARTY!"

Every member seating in the Guild put up their cups up and cheered, as the music started to play loudly. The Master quickly disappeared, already in the bar getting his own drink.

"The old man was probably bored out of his mind in the office and now has a good reason to drink and party the rest of the day." Laxus said from behind her, rolling his eyes at his Grandfather's attitude. "Come along brat, I'll introduce you. Dodge the bar stools flying around and if you get into the brawl, try not to destroy the building with one of those punches of yours."

Lucia looked around at the madness going on around the place before a small smile appeared in the corner of her lips.

This seemed like a fun place to be.

Surprisingly Laxus did introduce her around. There were a few kids around her age, and she already knew most of them.

Erza Scarlett, who already had the makings of the Titania of Fairy Tail, was two years older than her. Cana Alberona, the card mage, and Gray Fullbuster, the bloody stripper, were a year older than her. Natsu Dragneel, the pink-haired Fire Dragon Slayer was her age.

Erza welcomed her to the Guild by sharing a slice of her strawberry cake, according to Cana she should enjoy it because the red-haired girl almost never shared her cake.

Cana slipped her a pint of beer on the sly while stealing a few for herself from inside the bar- the card mage wasn't even fifteen and she already had the makings of a drunk.

Natsu and Gray were in mid brawl and both yelled their greetings while punching each other. Of course, after Erza had eaten her own slice of cake she proceeded to beat the snot out of both of them.

She also got introduced to some of the older members of the Guild, like Macao and Wakaba. Lana, who she didn't remember from the anime, was the bartender and waitress of the Guild and later took her to Fairy Hills where she managed to get a room which came with a very nice private bathroom.

Amid the chaos in the room- stools flying and punches being thrown while beer flew from the tap like a river- for the first time in a long while Lucia was happy. She almost decided to join in the brawl but decided it was best not to.

Five days later she did join, after Gray decided to strip next to her like a pervert. He dodged but she broke the sidewall of the Guild, received a lot of perplexed looks and a lot of cheering. Natsu, however, was another issue.

"Fight me!" The pink-haired boy demanded as soon as she entered the Guild. Since he had seen her strength, he was obsessed with fighting her, she really should have predicted this outcome.

"Did you say something?" Lucia said with a bored look on her face, in Hatake Kakashi fashion- because really Natsu was almost as annoying about challenging her as Maito Gai was about challenging is chosen rival.

"I challenge you to a fight!" Natsu declared, pointing at her dramatically.

She used her little finger to clean her ear and tilted her head to the side, still with an apathetic look on her face. "Sorry, I didn't catch that."

Natsu was almost smoking through his ears in rage, and threw himself at her with his fist high. Before he reached her, however, Erza appeared out of nowhere and hit him in the head with a bokken.

"Behave Natsu, Lucia doesn't want to fight you." The redhead said, glaring at the boy. "Respect her wishes. I'm sure when she wants to fight, she'll find you."

Lucia blinked and nodded. If she wanted someone to hit he would be a good target, as a Dragon Slayer, he could probably take a full-on punch of hers.

"Dragon breath leave the new girl alone." Gray said, from where he was sitting a few meters again.

"What did you say to me ice cube?" Natsu roared back, already mid punch. Yes, it was that easy for them to start a brawl.

Of course, they always forgot Erza was around. The brawl soon turned into Erza beating them both with a stick (cough, wood sword, cough) much like some people would train their dogs really.

"They never do behave." Lana commented from the bar, as Lucia took a seat.

"Someday Erza will have beaten them enough with a stick that they behave at the sight of her." The white-haired girl commented amused, she had found out early on that she could be her blunt and sarcastic self around the Guild because they were a bunch of weirdos themselves and took almost anything in stride. That, and most of them were drunk more times that she could count.

"One can pray." Lana wished, used to their antics. "What about you Lu-chan? You've only joined the Guild a week ago, how's everything? Do you like Fairy Hills?"

"All good." She easily replied. "It's nice, there's not many of us so it's quiet too."

"I'm glad." The bartender commented with a smile. "So why are you here so early? Did you come to have breakfast?"

"I want a mission." Lucia replied, she wanted something to do other than training and a mission seemed like a good solution.

Lana nodded and pulled a large dossier from behind the bar. "Well, there's an old woman near the city limits that needs her mow her lawn."

"Pass." Lucia replied, rolling her eyes. That sounded boring.

"There's also a couple that needs someone to walk their three dogs a few streets over." The older woman said.

"Hard no." She narrowed her eyes; this was starting to sound a lot like 'catch Tora the Cat' missions.

"One of the ladies from the fish market needs a babysitter for her three-year-old son." Lana continued to read, and Lucia couldn't take it anymore.

"Fuck no, I am not doing E-rank missions." She blurted out, not fucking amused.

"Language missy." The older woman corrected, while Lucia continued to look at her with a deadpan expression on her face. "You do know that jobs don't have classes or ranks, other than the S-Class ones, right? Jobs are just that, jobs."

"No, those are boring jobs that even bloody no-majs could pull out in their sleep." The red eyes girl said. "I want something interesting."

"It's your first job, and you don't have a team." Lana said, trying to reason with her like she was a child. Technically she was, but not really. Plus, she had been away from people for months, she wasn't keen on being ordered around.

"I'm not a team player, and didn't you just say a job was just a job?" She refuted.

The bartender was losing her patience when a blonde teenager took a seat on the other side of the bar. "Laxus come here!" Lana called.

The grumpy teenager got up and walked towards them, before seating on the empty stool next to her. "What do you want, old woman?"

Lana's brow twitched as she glared at Laxus. "The Master doesn't pay me enough to deal with you brats! Take this one out on a mission and get out of my hair already!"

Laxus glanced at her, before turning to Lana. "Why the hell would I take the white-haired brat out on a mission? I have to prepare for the next S-Rank Trials in five months."

"You brought the stray cat home know you go walk it." The bartender hissed, tired of both of them. Lucia silently wondered how her getting a mission turned into her being tossed at Laxus like a baby needing a babysitter.

"Hey, I resent that!" She grumbled. She just didn't want to do stupid missions- they only did that in Naruto for teamwork and she was a solo player. The only team she needed were her spirits, and even her spirits would find those jobs tasteless.

"What's in it for me?" Laxus asked, trying to bargain.

"Do whatever I tell you for the next five months and I'll tell the Master that I think you're ready for the Trials." Lana replied with a smirk, losing her annoyed expression.

Laxus glanced at me, before turning towards the bartender. "Deal, but you better not go back on your word old woman."

The older woman clenched her jaw at being called old and pointed at the notice board. "Pick a job and get out you nuisances, it's not even nine o'clock and I'm already in the mood to commit murder."

Laxus quickly hauled himself from his seat and before Lucia could say anything, the lightning idiot had already grabbed her and put her over his shoulder like cargo.

Instead of punching and kicking him like last time, Lucia pulled his hair and nodded at the board. "Get a move on lightning bolt, if I'm using you as transportation at least walk faster than a turtle."

"You're going to regret saying at brat." Laxus replied with a feral grin. He walked to the board and randomly grabbed a job, before turning to Lana who was still watching them. "Old woman we're taking the Clover Town job, and you're telling my team you put me on brat duty."

"Now wait a minute..." The bartender called out but Lucia never heard the rest of it. Because the next second, Laxus the bloody idiot, teleported them using lightning.

She had never teleported before, never mind by freaking lightning. Stupid lightning dolt, was going to be the end of her!

If she died from this, she was definitely coming back to haunt him silly.

A/N: Well, I bet you guys weren't expecting an update so soon. I hope it was a nice surprise since I felt inspired today to write another chapter.

What did you guys think about it? Should I have written more interactions with the guild? It's just that I thought Lucia would keep to herself for a while, she did just spent the past six months in the middle of the forest with just her spirits and magical creatures as company. She also is going to feel resistant to being treated as a child, she actually not one and even in the Konzern they didn't treat her like one. So, she's not going to be receptive to being taken care of, and will probably struggle to contain her blunt and unapologetic personality.

Also, If you guys thought I had introduced Laxus early on to just ignore him until Lucia is older that though luck because he's going to be around even if just to be his asshole self we known and love. Lucia isn't very keen on him either but she'll enjoy trolling and annoying him to hell and back.
