It was 2 AM when someone finally wandered downstairs and found her. Now she sat n the medical area in the lower level. Wires hooked up to her head monitoring her brain activity. Her waves were off the charts the green line jolted all the time. Over and over again the wide looping lines showed that she had more power than she let through. Bobby walked in and ran over to her.
"What happened?" He asked as she looked at her.
"I know where the Professor is," She spoke as she looked around "He's with some other mutant, he had a weird helmet,"
"Magneto" Bobby spoke as he shook his head.
"So that was Magneto, but what would he want with the professor?" It was then that Scott and Ororo walked in.
"She knows where the Professor is," Bobby spoke as he held her hand and kept stroking the white satin of her glove.
"If you aren't sure of yourself you shouldn't push yourself" Scott spoke as he placed his hand on Lacey's shoulder. She smiled a little and nodded.
"But I wanted to help, after all, it's of little consequence, I know where the Professor is, who cares if I'm hurt, I'm not hurt bad, in fact I'm fine now, I'm awake and my powers are all working fine," Lacey spoke as she looked up at Scott.
"That's one of the reason's why I called you down here, look at the screen, have you ever seen brain activity like that before? It's beyond Jean's beyond even the Professors" Ororo spoke as she looked away from the screen.
"I didn't think that was possible, gather everyone and get her suited up, She's coming with us" Scott spoke before he left quickly. Lacey could hear his very loud thoughts he had a lot on his mind.
"Wow, I'm already an X-man, I feel love" she spoke as she pulled her hands away from Bobby and picked the sensors out of her hair.
Bobby stuck behind with Lacey. It was incredibly silent. Just the two of them, he traced his fingers around on the table. Lacey hopped down and he grabbed her hand, she looked at him. There was determination behind his cold eyes, he leaned forward and she took three steps back and pulled her gloves off.
"You want to kiss me only because you haven't felt what it's like to be touched by me, So I'm going to demonstrate" She walked over to him and grabbed his arm with both of her hands, inch from his wrist. Instantly he grimaced as one hand froze and the other burned. The freezing he didn't mind however it was soon a feeling of indifference as his body adjusted to it. However the hand that burned him was the worst pain he had ever felt. However it was bearable to be touched with her and behind the pain there was a sort of pleasure unlike when Rogue had touched him.
After a while she released him, his skin stuck to her hand like hot tar to a shoe as she pulled her hand away. Her eyes were sad. The burn was intense and she had started to wish instantly that she could turn back time and never do what she had just done. Behind Lacey's eyes was a certain sadness as she looked down at the perfect burn print of her hand.
"For you I'd bear it" He spoke as he closed the distance ever more holding the tears back from the awful pain that surged through him. She shook her head.
"No, I can feel you pain even now you're holding back tears and such, it must be very painful" she spoke softly as she looked over at the cabinets. A drawer opened and a tube of ointment floated over followed by gauze bandage that came out of the same drawer, the drawer then slid closed as the ointment and bandage reached her hand. She set them down on the table and pulled her white gloves back on. She opened the ointment and gently smoothed some over the burn with her powers.
"It must be awful" he spoke as he watched her. She glanced up at him.
"What? Not being able to touch people?" she spoke softly, he nodded "It's not so bad, I'm getting used to it, I really don't have anyone to touch anyways, no one that's not otherwise occupied at least" she the placed the gauze bandage over the wound softly with her hands.
"That could be changed you know"
"Not over me!" she spoke before she left the room leaving Bobby alone in the silent near darkness. He rubbed his arm, the bandage was soft and he could still feel her hand on his skin as he stared after her.
Bobby didn't see Lacey again until they were getting on the jet. He was hypnotized by the way she walked. The suit she was wearing seemed to be a size too large. It didn't hug her body the way it hugged the others. He noticed every nuance in her movements. She moved fluidly like the way he remembered Mystique's movements. He was completely infatuated with her now.
"You don't have a nick name yet do you?" Cyclops asked as he glanced back at Lacey.
"Enchantress" Bobby spoke up as he strapped himself in. Lacey looked over at him.
"Enchantress…" he smirked a bit "It fits" Cyclops stated as the Jet took off. She sat back a little. "So where is he?" Lacey closed her eyes they moved underneath the frail thin skin of her eyelids.
"He's somewhere off of the coast of Spain" she spoke as she opened her eyes.
