[To those who might know that Natsu had gone back, they may be surprised to suddenly see a transmission from him on the network. However there's something clearly wrong since it shows the corridor from a very awkward perspective and the image shakes at very slow intervals.]

Need....to go back....Lucy....Wendy....danger...Tarta..ros

[His voice is ragged, his breathing interrupted by violent coughing and the floor of the corridor gets occasionally splattered with blood that shows whenever the tablet faces in that direction.]

Neeed...to go....ba-

[And then he collapses as there is the sound of something heavy hitting the floor. The feed stays open for a bit longer before cutting off automatically.]

[OOC: So Natsu is back but a little worse for wear. Network replies will likely come after he's taken to the infirmary and he wakes up. However if anyone wants to find him on the floor, Action is still more than welcome.]

[ She told herself that if - no, WHEN, Natsu came back, she was never going to argue with him about every time he climbed into her bed at night, nor would she scoff at his reasoning. She'd had to admit it, she'd gotten used to him being there, enough that she found she didn't sleep nearly as well without him next to her. ]

[ When the network came back up, she only halfheartedly checked it, tossing it on the bed in disappointment when she didn't see anything. Until she heard his voice a few minutes later. She all but lunged at the bed to check the device, elation quickly sinking into horror when what she could see of him registered. ]

[ She was already sprinting out the door with her keys by the time the feed ended. She didn't know what was going on back home, but if Natsu came back that badly injured... ]

[She would find him barely a corridor away from the transporter room collapsed against the wall. His eyes were half opened and his breathing was labored but he could not move a single muscle. In fact the floor felt oddly soothing. Still he didn't want to give into sleep just yet. He couldn't. He had to go back. ]

[ She skidded to a stop when she caught sight of him, dropping to a knee at his side. ]

Natsu...

[ A hand reached out to touch his cheek gently, drawing her hand back for a better look at his injuries. At least he wasn't far from where the clinic was set up, but ... the fact that they even -needed- it was horrible. She reached down to her key, summoning Capricorn. Hopefully it was safe to move the Dragon Slayer. ]

[Even on the brink of unconsciousness, Lucy's voice still registered in his mind and he tried to open his eyes a bit more to see her. Unfortunately that was beyond his ability at the moment so all he could do was murmur weakly.]

L..Lucy...

[It was likely the only wat they would get him anywhere though by far the most grievous of his wounds were focused on his right arm and leg which were considerably more burned and torn up.]

I'm here, Natsu..

[ It was questionable if he could even hear her, comprehend any of what she was saying, but she knew being near always helped him. ]

Mind his arm ...and his leg too... god, what happened..

[ What was going on back home? He only ever got hurt when they were up against someone serious --was it something to do with the Eclipse plan? Something else? Capricorn was dutifully picking up said Dragon Slayer, taking very care not to injure him further - which is good considering the last time he carried Natsu he dragged him around like a sack of potatoes.

Lucy set the pace, wanting to run, but knowing they had to take it easy so as not to jostle her friend. ]

D-Don't...go...he's...too strong...

[Back home was turning into hell with people dying left and right without discrimination. Honestly she was probably better off trying to get answers from him after he recovered enough to get her up to speed.]

[Capricorn's care was duly noted though and while his whole body was in unimaginable pain it didn't get much worse as the goat buttler carried him to the infirmary.]

[ His delirious mumbling was driving her nuts with curiosity and worry. The worst part is knowing she wouldn't find out anything to make sense until he was conscious and coherent. She exchanged a glance with Capricorn as the two hurried along, and she put a hand against his head, petting it through his hair gently. ]

Shh... don't talk, Natsu.

[ Yeah he probably wasn't hearing her - she pushed open the door to the infirmary, flagging down one of the healers, and wishing Wendy were here, now more than ever. ]

[Strangely enough her hand was exactly what he needed to finally fall silent and into something closer to the healing sleep he so desperately needed. He didn't say anything else after that only making a faint whining sound when he was taken away from Lucy's comforting presence so the medical staff could get to work on patching him up. Without that there was nothing to prevent him from slipping into slumber completely.]

[ Capricorn stood at Lucy's side the entire time, with the celestial wizard spending only a moment to send a message to Erza and the others to let them know (admittedly belatedly) that Natsu was back. Once the doctors were finished, Capricorn silently returned to the Spirit World and Lucy quickly took her place at Natsu's side, where she would wait (eventually nodding off herself) for him to wake, her hand in his. ]

[Uh oh]

Uhhhh, dude? Dude you okay? Lucy's been looking for you, man.

[By the time he replies, he's already met with Lucy. She just so conveniently happens to be out of the room at the moment.]

I'm better now. Lucy kinda found me lying on the floor in the corridor.

[He smiles sheepishly.]

I really got her worried sick didn't I?

Ouch. Tough break.

[He nods] Yeah, she was seriously panicked. I haven't seen her that worried before.

Yeah. Things got pretty rough back home.

[That's understatement of the year. Still he can't help but look really guilty about causing Lucy that much distress.]

I guess she got a taste of what it was like for me when she went back. Kinda wish she didn't have to though...

Sorry to hear that, man.

[Heath shrugs and offers a smile] She's a tough cookie. Now that you're back I'm sure she'll be back to herself in no time.

As soon as the nosy doctors let me go I'll make sure she is. Gotta make it up to her after all.

[And he's not accepting anything less.]

If I were you, I'd go for chocolates and flowers. Make it a two-fer, you know? I don't thinks this is an either or situation.

Chocolate? I'll have to look and see if they have any left on the station. But flowers I'm sure there aren't any in this place.

Then make some Papier Mâché ones, dude. It's really easy and the ladies love it when you make an effort.

Paper flowers. I guess I could try. Never made any before.

[Since you know paper catches fire REAL easy and if he gets too frustrated with his attempts the paper catches fire spectacularly.]

[Boy does Heath know THAT pain]

Or you could just cut some up to look vaguely like flowers. There's that too.

Hmm that I could probably do. But first I need to heal up my other arm.

[Crafting with one arm in a cast isn't going to turn out well for anyone around him]

Is there anyone in the clinic or whatever with healing magic?

...Mr. Natsu?

[Well if it isn't the other member of his family stuck in this place. Natsu flashes a wincing grin before relaxing into a more natural stature.]

Hey, Juvia. I'm back.

[Just really roughed up and don't ask about Gray cause he doesn't know what team he's in but he'll probably end up fighting a demon like Jackal too.]

[Juvia just frowns at Natsu out of concern. She's trying to figure out what to say ~~and being serious for once~~]

Mr. Natsu shouldn't be moving around so much in that state. [Then another pause] Is someone coming to help you?

[She'll be asking about Gray later though]

Lucy dragged my sorry ass to the infirmary. She's gone out to get me something to eat though.

[And he should be sleeping but wouldn't you know it? He just can't both because of his natural energy reserves as well as the small fear of having the same dream from earlier once again only this time Lucy wouldn't be there with him.]

So you're just going to stay up until then?

[This was an important question....and what's he doing with Lucy? Stop thinking things like that, Juvia]

[Whoa there Juvia stop giving him Erza vibes. Though why would it be a problem if he were doing anything with Lucy? Not that he's even thinking along those lines.]

Errr well maybe unless I start feeling sleepy?

[There's a moment of silence before she gets back to her normal self and presses her hands together]

Then Juvia will stay on until then!

[She needed something to do anyway]

Ah...what happened back home?

[He's never gonna get used to these switch on a dime moodswings of yours, Juvia.]

Uh sure if you don't mind.

[He doesn't. That dream is still fresh.]

Lots of stuff and it's been getting pretty bad recently. We won the tournament and beat all 7 dragons. Well six since one of em ended up joining our side in the fight.

But now Tartaros started causing trouble.

[Juvia would remember that name since she did bust up dark guilds with Gajeel during their Phantom Lord days.]

[She blames the love rivals]

Juvia heard about the tournament and the dragons, but...Tartaros?

[Yes, she does recognize that name from when she was in Phantom Lord. It's the part that catches her attention the most. She raises a hand to her mouth]

They're not attacking the guild are they? What about Gray-sama?! [Of course she'd ask] And the others?

[The ones in her head? Truly a force to be reckoned with.]

Yeah Tartaros.

[He frown with a bit of a grim look on his face.]

Nah. They didn't target us specifically. The destroyed the magic council though. Killed them all and then they went after old Magic Council members too like old man Yajima. He would have died if Laxus and the thunder god tribe weren't with him. Though they all got poisoned and a whole village was as well.
