Skye knew her bandages had to be checked, in fact she knew she needed to be seen at some point.  The bandages had red stains, they hurt, plus she wanted to see if Jean could possibly remove the bangles M.R.D had put on her wrists so many years ago.  Of course, she wondered how Jean would do this.  No one could touch Skye without being electrocuted.

She took her time finding her way to the Medical bay and slowly opened the door and walked in.   Her sunglasses were on for she didn't have the strength to lower the brightness of her eyes today.  Her hair was very bright though, trickling with electrical currents.  She was very unique.


"Hello?  I'm Skye, I was told to come here for my bandages to be changed..."

Jean had an eventful first 48 hours back. Very eventful. So eventful that after pizza with William and finishing cleaning up the medical bay she hadn't actually left the area. Sterilizing tools and the room before she ended up crashing on top of one of the beds. Exhaustion hitting her as she rested there. Soon waking the moment she sensed the young woman who was on suicide watch. She sat up quickly and went to the sink. Splashing water on her face and straightening herself out as much as she could. Waiting for Skye to enter. "Miss Perkins? Yes. I am aware of your situation. Please come in and have a seat over here." She said with a warm and kind smile. Indicating a typical patients seat like in any doctor's office. She came over and despite already checking her out with her abilities it was habitual for a doctor to ask. "How are you feeling today Miss Perkins? I am sure you already have heard my name but I am Doctor Jean Grey. I am a professor here and the school physician." Introductions over she waited for Skye to go and take a seat.

Skye nodded, listened and sat down with a fluid motion.  It seemed almost stale, like she was just going through the motions.  How was she?  Was Jean serious?  Skye laughed in her mind, she was horrible.  She hurt, her wrists hurt, the bangles hurt even worst with her wounds, she hated life, and she was curious on how Jean was going to even clean and change her bandages without being electrocuted by touching her.  She never knew how the M.R.D did it either but she wasn't really awake during those times.

"I'm.. okay I guess.... I just want this over with to be honest.  Although, I've never ad seen a doctor outside M.R.D... and I don't really think they were doctors, more like torturers."  She held her arms up as if to indicate the bangles that attached into the bone marrow of her wrists.

Jean laughed a bit. "I know it is silly to ask something you can clearly see the answer to. It is just procedure." She said with a soft smile. Moving closer and gently stroked the girls hair lightly. "It will be alright Miss Perkins." She  said kindly. Telekinetically she brought over fresh bandaging, alcohol wipes, gauze, stitching needles, as well as a few other medical supplies. She listened to her as she spoke. She used her powers to form a thin forcefield around her hands to help keep the sparks from her skin. "Those aren't doctors. Doctors take an oath to heal and treat others to make them better. Not to hurt and kill them." She said softly. Using her telekinesis she carefully cut the bandages away from the skin. Holding Skye's hands a moment before moving them to carefully hold the wrists. Once the wrists were bared she began to look them over for any signs of infection. "How old are you Skye?" She asked kindly.

"How are you able to touch me without getting hurt?"  Skye asked as she watched, shaking at first when Jean stroked her hair.  No one but Chris was ever able to touch her without being electrocuted yet Jean was.  Her eyes widened behind her sunglasses, the brightness increasing slightly and shined around the rims.

"I'm 17.... They put the bangles on me when I was 14, after this hurricane rolled in and my powers came.  I killed my mom and dad, my hair turned to this, along with my eyes.  My brother tried to help me but he was electrocuted and last I heard was in a coma at a hospital.  The M.R.D. tranquilized me and I woke up with these bangles on, attached to the bone.  They did so many things to me.  Then one day there was an explosion and I got out.  I was with the brotherhood for a while until I moved in with Chris... this other electrical mutant..."  Tears suddenly fell from her eyes.  They were yellow and filled with electricity and flew into the bangles.  "I loved him, he didn't love me back.  He was the only person I could touch.... I decided I wanted to die... and he left me here after I tried to kill myself... I guess I'm pathetic huh?"  She was shocked at herself for suddenly blurting out her life to this complete stranger, yet she felt like Jean was trustworthy and it felt good to tell someone her life.  "I'm sorry...."

((OOC: hope you don't mind her hugging her. ^^))

Jean listened to Skye as she spoke. "I'm using a psychic forcefield. A very thin one just to protect my hands against accidental electrical discharge...in your case. Or against other possible effects mutants your ages powers can have on them. Such as fire or ice. Poison spikes." She said. Hoping that was a useful explaination. She looked at the young girl a bit. She stroked her hair as she wanted to help her calm down. Listening to the young girl as she spoke. Tears formed in her own eyes. She gently moved her hand and with a very maternal motion wiped teh tears from the girls cheek.

Pulling her into a hug as she spread the psychically generated forcefield to cover all of her. This poor child needed a hug and thats just what she did. Gently embraced her in a kind and motherly style hug. Stroking her hair lightly as she let the poor girl let it all out. She wasn't a counceler but she knew that sometimes it helped having someone to let it all out. "Boys will be boys no matter how old they get. It'll be alright now skye." She said softly. Holding her close and stroked her hair as mother's often did. Sitting beside Skye on the bed she was sitting on to make it easier on them both.

"It's alright...shhh...it's going to be alright. You aren't alone anymore. There is many people in this school, professors and students, who are different just like you. There are other people out there who will be able to touch you and you them. With little to no harm. There was a boy named Bobby and a girl named Rogue. She had an ability where touching people ended up sucking their lifeforce if they were human or powers if they were mutants. She met Bobby who doesn't care if holding hands with her ends up her borrowing his gift a bit or making him a bit tired. So there is someone out there for everyone. Who either won't be hurt by a little shock or won't be detered just because he gets shocked a little. This boy you fell in love with is just one fish in a big sea of possibilities. There is someone out there for everyone. So try to keep onto hope. Alright Skye?" She smiled a warm and kind smile at Skye.

She hoped that would renew or give this girl some hope. It was a true story and an example how just because you have an ability that makes it hard or impossible even dangerous for others to touch your or you them doesn't mean there isn't someone out there who won't care or it won't hurt too much. Using her powers she wiped the now bared wrists and arms clean of blood with her telekinesis moving the alcohol wipes. Taking one of the wrists and still sitting on the bed she carefully, after releasing Skye from the hug, began to look over the lacerations for infection.

(sorry for delay i was hospitalized, and not at all.  Btw you should so make Bobby and then I can have Skye date him hahahaha) 

Skye did not expect to be hugged, the feeling of someone touching her, holding her just felt amazing, she smiled and cried more, hugging back tightly, showing Jean how much it meant.  She was dying for physical contact and it was showing.  She listened and sighed, feeling hopeful with the mention on how someone with an issue like hers found love.  She nodded and pulled away and sighed. She smiled slightly, feeling better.  The tears were gone now, but it was clear she felt better.

"I needed that... Maybe I could meet Bobby and Rogue one day.  Are they still together?"  She asked wondering, maybe Bobby was single and would give her a chance.  Of course it was her mind working .  Skye had hope again from what Jean said.  "What about my bangles also... do you think you can get them off me?  They hurt and draw so much energy out of me.  I feel like half of what I am.  When I was with the brotherhood, Shikon helped me control a little better but I wasn't strong cause of these.  But I can make an electrical force field around my body now to stop bullets... It takes so much energy and when I did it the bangles took it in and I fainted.  I hate what M.R.D did to me.."

((I'm at my canon limit lol I'll have to do some research and stuff to figure out how to safely remove those from her wrists...the bangles lol))

Jean hugged the girl until she noticed, felt and could tell she was feeling a bit better. She storked her hair lightly and continued to hug her. Letting her go finally in order to take ahold of the palms. Looking at the bangles. She hadn't seen anything like this. She would have to see what she could find out. A technopath would be great right about now but there wasn't many of those around. Beast would have had ideas. Smiling at Skye as she spoke. "I believe so. They scattered to the winds together. Along with many of the other students." She admitted. She wrapped the girls cuts tenderly. "I will have to do some research. I can sense how deeply meshed into your bones they are. I want to be sure that removing them won't do you more harm or cause death. I wish I could remove them right now but I've never seen anything like this...never seen something fused into the bone marrow. Just give us a bit of time and we'll figure out how to get those off of you." She said kindly.

(my posts for the next few days might suck, my eye sight is damaged from med reduction it'll be better soon, also, boooo can you make a guy for Skye though? hehe)

Skye looked at Jean as the woman examined her bangles and spoke.  She sighed listening but understood that it could do more harm than good.  "They told me if I didn't have these my power would b too strong... M.R.D doctors that is...  He said it's for everyone's protection my body is too powerful.  He called me a live wire.  Brotherhood nicknamed me that. I think it's silly but I've heard others with nicknames... Is it something I should have?"  She asked, trying to change the subject.  Skye didn't want to keep talking about her bangles after hearing it might take a while to remove them.  She knew what that meant.  To her it meant, 'I can't take them off, sorry you are shit out of luck.'  Skye sighed and forced a smile.


You are the kindest person I have ever met by the way Jean.  Most people are scared of me or want to hurt me.  But not you.  I am starting to like it here to be honest."

(its fine. they are fine ^^ I'll have to think about that. I am enjoying writing with the charis I have XD)

Jean looked at her and hugged her again. "I am not saying I can't take them off. I am just saying as a doctor and someone who cares about you on a professional and personal level...it would be irresponsible of me to try to remove them...at this current moment." She lightly tilted her chin up after letting her go. "Look at me Skye. I promise. I will get them off. The way these people did you is inconcievably cruel. If they were just attached to the bone I could easily take them off." She showed her carefully by tapping her own arm. "Where they have become fused is to your bone marrow. If I do not do this properly you could lose ability to move your wrists, arms or even hands. I don't want to cause you further harm. The bangles have become meshed with your bone marrow. Its not just connected to your bone on the surface level. I want to help you...not bring you further harm. Please don't give up having them removed alright? I will figure out a way. I promise." She said with a genuine and warm smile.

Lightly stroking the girls hair again. "Live Wire? I think the alias fits you Its a lot more creative then sparks or something like that. On a different note about the bangles...the M.R.D. lied to you. Something like this is going to harm you in the long run. People can teach you to control your powers." She said softly. Blinking a bit and flushed lightly as she listened to her speaking about her. "You are really sweet Skye. People won't be afraid of you here and while there might be some everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. What you need to know is that you will find friends. I am not scared of any of the children or youth here." She promised her. Hearing she starting to like it here brought her a smile again.

She sat beside her and hugged her. "Skye...I will find a way to remove those bangles. Please have faith in me. I do not want to cause you permanent harm. Where there is a will there is a way. Never give up and please...just give me a bit of time so that I can get those out without any harm to you. Your wellbeings what is most important right now and just removing them at this point would not do that. I need to find out the best procedure with the least amount of risk to the patient it will be done on. If you have any questions feel free to ask." She hugged her again knowing the girl didn't mind and those seemed to help her.

(hehe thats cool, besides Amelia and Scott might become a thing hehe)

Again, Skye froze when she was hugged, not used to being touched but enjoying the feeling at the same time.  She listened to everything Jean said nodded along but said nothing.  At times, she didn't get what Jean meant but then understood a second later.    It still hurt that Jean couldn't get the bangles off today, but now she understood why and nodded. "I got what you mean.  It's just after so long you can understand why I get upset over no one getting them off.  I've been promised over and over by people and they never, ever fulfilled that promise.  You know?"  Skye said and sighed, glad Jean wasn't hugging her any more even though she loved the contact.

"I know they connect at the marrow, I've seen it.  I was awake when they put the second one on.  They didn't care that I woke up during.  It hurt so bad.  I saw so much blood, but it wasn't normal blood any more, my blood was yellowish, or looked like that, it trickled with electricity and they were collecting it like it was gold.  I felt like a lab mouse."  She sighed and looked at her right wrist and sniffed, as if she was about to cry again.  When the subject went to her nickname she finally relaxed a bit, glad to be done with the bangle side of the conversation.  She had enough of re-living her past.

But, almost as soon as they were talking about her new alias, Live-Wire, Jean was back to M.R.D.  She frowned right away, but knew it was necessary to talk about everything.  But it was over just as fast as Jean spoke of being taught and a smile came to her face.  "I've learned a little control when I was with Shikon, I can make balls of electricity and an electrical shield.  The shield blacks bullets but it takes so much concentration.  I can lower the brightness of my eyes, and even create a thunder storm when really upset.  I can't be near electricity though, cell phones fry with me, T.V's won't play, microwaves blow up.  So I guess I am a Live wire."  She laughed a little bit, the first one in a long time.

"I trust you.  I've had many people promise to get them off, but I actually have faith that you might be the one person to actually follow through and fulfill that promise."  She smiled again when hugged and this time, hugged back.

(at the very least people getting friends lol Yeah sorry about that. Jean covered a lot of things but knew it all needed to be done. She also was trying to do it in a way that would help Skye transition through things, get them off her chest, feel lighter or better, that sort of thing while still helping Skye get through or over or past stuff she'd pent up...total mom mode in summary XD )

Jean was able to tell that Skye still hurt they couldn't come off now but she could also see and tell that she understood why now. She was happy that Skye understood the reasons and the why. It wasn't that she didn't want to...she did. It was honestly killing her inside that right now she couldn't. Medically, professionally and even human nature wise...she knew it wasn't possible nor safe. At the moment with her lack of knowledge and the way it was in the girls bone marrow it would be risky even fatal. She didn't want to kill the girl. The doctor in her needed to point out the risks and dangers and the woman in her that it wasn't impossible it would just take a little time. She stroked Skye's hair lightly when she wasn't hugging her. "I know Skye but I'd be no better than those who hurt you if I told you anything but these facts and helped you understand them. If I were to attempt it right now..knowing these risks then I wouldnt' be any better than the monsters who did that to you. In my opinion I'd be far worse." She said in a kind tone.

She flinched a bit, unnoticably as the action was more mental than physical, as she unintentionally caught the mental visual of what Skye said. Watching the changes as the conversations switched she felt she had done things the best way. As professor, doctor, and one female to another. This method she used in this conversation had an extremely positive outcome. Helping the girl beyond just medical professionals. In her own way she was bonding with various students, like Skye, in a maternal nature as well. A maternal and friend sort of way. Her own kind warm smile grew more. "We can help you with many things. Including being able to tolerate our weaknesses and move past them. How to strengthen our strengths. The issue with the cellphones or televisions...things like that can be trained and taught to not fry and work normally. You can have a normal life without many or any side effects from your powers. I speak about that from experience." She said with a smile.

Watching her laugh she poked her lightly. "Laughter is the best medicine...that and smiling. An old wives tale that may medical professionals world wide agree to. Since it has had many proven cases where laughter has healed and even strengthened many." She smiled at her and having hugged her again was delighted she was hugged back. She listened to her speak. "I am glad you do. I won't let you down. Just no more cutting alright? Lets get you all better so you can build up the strength. When I am able to take those off Skye you will need to be at your best strength with no other injuries or ailments. Right now I need you to take it easy and once these cuts are healed we can start you on a strengthening regimen." She said with a laugh.

Letting her go again. When skye released her from the hug she stood up and got the thermameter. "Say ah." She said with a smile. It was an old fashioned one...glass with the mercury in it.
