I wake up to Levy banging on my door. "There's a meeting." She says. I walk out in my pajamas and Levy takes me to an area with couches and tables, it seems like a lounge. Wendy a short girl with long dark blue hair sits on a couch surrounded by Gray and Natsu.

"Did you get taller? You seem taller," Gray comments.

"Gray I was gone for a weekend, I didn't grow," Wendy says, her voice soft and sweet.

"Oh you must be Ms. Kardia. Hello I'm We-" I cut her off before she can finish

"Wendy Marvell. The youngest agent here, specialties are disguise and makeup, also psychic, I will be honest I'm extremely curious about that." I say remembering what I had read on their files.

"How did... I know they didn't tell you anything. Did you hack into our systems?" She asks in a curious and excited voice. "I can sense other people's feelings when I touch them, if I want to. If I go to a crime scene I can see what happened. I can't see that far into the past, 6 years maximum," She explains.

"Well, it's nice to meet you," I say and hold my hand out for her to hold.

"Can I?" she asks as she reaches for my hand, I nod and she takes it.

She swiftly pulls away with wide eyes. Her breath heavy as she hugs herself. Everyone rushes towards her; they all stare at me. I stare at Wendy with wide eyes, what happened. My panicked expression tells them I have no idea what happened. Shit. 

"L- Stella..." She says. I stare at her with wide sad eyes. Tears cascade down her face as she stands up and rushes towards me. She hugs me and whispers softly in my ear. "Don't worry I won't tell them anything Lucy." She pulls away and I stare at her in shock.

"I didn't know they did all that to you, I saw you in so much pain," Her voice soft and sad. "Can. I see her files?" She asks.

"Here," Jellal hands her my file from when I was in prison. Wendy reads over it and frowns.

"This isn't all they did to her, it's what higher ups instructed. Why weren't you... why would they only feed you twice every month?" She asks me.

Natsu stares at Wendy and frowns, "What?" Wendy walks away with Natsu while she goes over my file.

Erza and Levy stare at me confused. "What did you do?" Gray asks.

"What?" I ask.

"If they would only feed you twice a month it was because you did something. But what else did they do to you?" Erza asks.

"The torture wasn't all that bad," I say. The all stare at me, they don't believe me.

"Why did they torture you?"

"I didn't do anything, they did it because they knew people from Tartaros." I say. 

"Stella. Answer me." Erza's voice dark and threatening.

"Whether you can believe me or not is up to you. But I have been through worse." Their faces darken as I talk back to Erza. She walks up to me and tries to pin me to the floor, I dodge and pin her to the floor. I let go as soon as she touches the ground. "Erza, I like you, I like you all, even if you try to kill me, even if you lock me up in a cell and starve me for days. You aren't bad people, why would I hurt you?" I confess.

"You killed the whole Tartaros organization!" Gray argues.

"Yeah because they went around killing innocent people. Kids who had done nothing wrong died because of them. They're the ones who taught me how to kill people, they dug their own graves. Your job is to help get rid of people like them; you should be happy I killed them all." I shoot back as I walk back towards my room.
