Hello! This is my second Lockwood and co. Crossover. The first one stunk and I am abandoning it. Moving on, this, I will make an effort with. Let my sugar darlings do the disclaimer. Sugar darlings: Sugarlover does NOT own Lockwood and co. Or Pjo
Lockwood remembered the time when he and Lucy were racing down a corridor with ghosts at their heels, he also remembers their chase with the 6 foot Irish dock-man. Then, he stared at her limp body on the hospital bed. Her short hair had grown shoulder-length, and her skin was deathly pale, almost as pale as a Visitor. She was very, very thin and she wore a green hospital gown.
He and George visited nearly every day. If he had only not been so clumsy, then she wouldn't be in this coma, fighting for her life.
It was a crisp autumn evening, 8:50. Lucy was dressed in a navy blue thermal vest, leggings, and long sleeve shirt with boots. She argued with George about the condition of her leggings. They were stretched tightly because George put them in the wrong wash. Lockwood secretly thought they looked fine, better even, then normal. Then he was brought back to reality. Lucy asked," What do you think Lockwood? Lockwood calmly said," Well, I think it's bloody time you two stopped arguing as we're here."
They had gotten a job with another client, Ms. Larkson, with a "'terrible laughter sound' said from her young daughter. When they entered the house, they were immediately faced with a Gibbering Mist. It could've been easy to avoid. Then, Lockwood clumsily tumbled forward, knocking into Lucy, who fell onto the ghost. He cackled and dissipated. Lucy stood rigidly and fell with a thump onto the floor. She had blue icicles forming on her. George immediately ran to the nearest telephone and called an ambulance.
Lockwood ran into a chest which housed the Gibbering Mist's source. He threw a silver chain net onto the chest. He prayed Lucy would be all right.
How wrong he was. Fittes medics came and hauled Lucy onto a stretcher. Lockwood and George had grabbed a cab to the hospital and found Lucy with her eyes open, barely, getting an adrenaline shot. She cursed when they stuck her with the needle. George chuckled and lockwood flashed a small smile. Then, Lucy noticed they were there and said," Did you two secure the source?" George and Lockwood nodded and then Lucy fell asleep. That was the beginning of her coma.
It's been 3 months since that happened. Now, Lockwood and George worry if she'll ever wake up. Then, Lockwood spoke to her, like always. He describes what George had been experimenting with the skull, he describes his new sword techniques (completely made up, he adds), and the new rapiers he and George got and how he's saving one for her.
Then, he squeezes her hand and is about to leave when he feels a squeeze back. He pauses and looks back at Lucy when she squeezes his hand again. Then, she carefully opens one eye and cautiously checks around. She opens the other. Her eyes were unfocused and then, she finally focuses on Lockwood. " You're... Lockwood?" she asks softly. He nods, overjoyed. "Where am I?" she asks. He says back," You got ghost-touched."
Lucy grabs Lockwood's arm to shakily lift herself up. She sits up and says," Where's George?" He replies," At Portland Row." She nods and says,"Last question, when can I go?" He chuckles and says," Right now if you feel up to it." She nods and grabs his hand. He lifts her up, but her knee buckles. She clenches onto Lockwood's shoulder. He goes behind her and grasps her forearms and pulls her up. She wobbles like a toddler, but eventually is able to walk a little.
Then, she grumbles," Okay, can't do this anymore." She stubbornly sits on the floor. Lockwood calls in a nurse for Lucy. Her nurse appears and says," You're up! Hooray! Here, let me get you a wheelchair." The nurse leaves and comes back, wheeling in a wheelchair.
Lockwood helps Lucy into a wheelchair, thanks the nurse, and wheels her off. Lucy motions for him to bend down. She whispers," When we get out of this wretched building, let go, you'll see."
He does what she asks and she yells," Last one to Portland Row ." Then, she spins the wheels and Lockwood runs after her. Lockwood is out of breath but Lucy is very energetic, happy to be home. Lockwood knocks on the door while Lucy hides. George grimly opens the door asking, "How is she?" Lockwood grins and replies," Ask her yourself." Then, Lucy wheels into George's view. He gasps and says," Lucy, you're awake!" He hugs Lucy and she says," Nice to see you two, oh, and by the way, the medic says I can continue working after about two days." George gives a smile and hugs her again.
That night Lucy fell asleep on the sofa. Lockwood picked her up and carried her to her room. She snuggled close to him, and smiled in her sleep.
Lucy POV
Later in the night, Lucy had a visitor. The ghost of Annie Ward. Lucy was much too tired to get up. She just hoped her end would be quick.
Then, she heard a voice, a happy voice, from the ghost. The apparition smiled and said," Lucy, thank you. Thank you for saving me. Thank you for bringing me justice. For a while, I will be stuck as a ghost. Then, as my justice is complete, I will embark on a journey to someplace better. Feel better, Lucy. "
Then, with a sigh of relief, the ghost of Annie Ward dissipated.
Lucy smiled and said," Good-bye Annie."
Then, she dreams a dream, where a black haired boy and speaks to her. He is unintelligible, but one thing she notices are his sparkling blue-green eyes.
