Actually Nick despite your fanfic I have the feeling that if Natsu hadn't shown up, Lucy would have shouted that he should just blow her up and release the other two, to which Jackal declines stating there is no fun in that and is about to do some kind of movement that triggers the bombs when Natsu appears. Actually I would have liked that since it solves the question. As it stands, Lucy wouldn't have an answer to give.

And even if Lucy had chosen, like you said in your fic, he wouldn't be done so it would just be pointless.

And that's all true but not how FT works sadly. There is no psychological in it. And they are goody-goodies. They lack the serious judgement that Rave characters had. Any one of us(or at least anyone of us with good set of principles that aren't naive) would make that choice and learn to live with it, that is what it means to be a warrior and a saviour.
