She dusted off her clothes before she walked towards the black door and stood off to the side of it.  

"Junichirou, remember to keep watching this door.  I don't know how long Atsushi will be able to hold out for, but I have a feeling he'll be pulled in any minute now."

She saw the orange-haired ginger nod with a look of amazement on his face.  That is the look most people had when they saw parts of her ability.  She could only imagine how amazed the boy would be when he witnessed more of her ability in action.  

As if it were on cue, a swarm of arms came shooting from across the room and the door opened.

"Junichirou!  Now!"

"Got it!"

As soon as the arms shot passed her and out the door, (Y/n) said "Code: Web"

Though she couldn't see it, she knew that a weblike structure would be covering the door beside her.  It allowed for the arms to pass through, but it didn't allow for the large form of Atsushi to slip in.

Suddenly, Atsushi was sprawled across the door with his tiger enhanced arms and legs keeping him from slipping into the door.  

(Y/n) spoke to Atsushi and said, "Relax yourself, Atsushi.  I've got my ability spread across the door.  You can't slip into the room, but that girl doesn't know it.  As far as she knows, the door has already closed thanks to Junichirou's Light Snow."

Atsushi began to frantically look around as he muttered out, "(Y/n)-san?!  Where are you?  Are you alright?"

(Y/n) couldn't help the chuckle that slipped from her mouth as she giggled out, "I'm fine, a little bruised from my game of tag, but I'm fine.  Now, that ribbon in your hand, throw it and get it to wrap around her waist.  When the time is right, I'll tell Junichirou to alter the hologram so she believes she'll be pulled into the room along with you.  If we heard correctly, there is no way for her to get out of this room other than that key, she'll be forced to stop using her ability."

Atsushi nodded at the woman's instructions and did as she asked.  Finally, (Y/n) nodded towards Junichirou who altered his Light Snow to her specifications.

She peeked around the doorframe and watched as the red-haired girl noticed Atsushi had yet to fall into her prison.  The crazed and infuriated look she had on her face made (Y/n) smile. After all, this girl kept her from bringing cookies to the Agency yesterday.

"What, but I know I closed that door!"

"You're wrong!  Ever since this began, you were against two people.  When the door opened, Junichirou used his ability to make you think you closed it.  Now, I don't want you to fail and lose your place at the Guild, Lucy.  But I'm inexperienced and I have to protect my friends in any way I can!"

(Y/n) whispered to the boy, "Atsushi, pull her towards you and catch her before she hits the wall my ability is making behind you."

With a pull of his arm, a familiar yellow ribbon appeared in front of themselves and the girl was pulled into one of his arms.

"If I pull you into this room with me, you'll be trapped in here forever right?  Since that door can only be opened from the outside by a key that doesn't work?"
