I have to thank 25 Crash 174 for giving me the name of this story! I was at a loss and they came up with Sparks! I loved it! Thank you so much! For you, I am going to work extra hard on this story. J
A/N: This is the sequel to Electric. Once again, I am skipping a bit to get to my character, Lacey, because It's really a waste of time to go over what we already know happens, right?
As Jack and what was left of his crew made it to Tia Dalma's they saw another boat docked. "Apparently we aren't the only ones here." The captain said bitterly as he stepped onto the platform and looked at them all "Don't worry mates. Tia Dalma and I go way back. Nigh inseparable we are!" He smiled, but then it began to fade "Were…. Have been… before." He shrugged it off began to climb up to the upper level to enter the hut.
As he reached the top, he was greeted by a pair of blue eyes looking at him.
"Jack?" Lacey smiled, looking at him as she exited the hut.
He stood up and grinned. "You're a sight for sore eyes, Love"
Before she could respond to him, Will spotted her from behind Gibbs.
"Lacey." Will smiled lightly at her
She turned her attention away from Jack, causing him to frown. "Will! How are you?"
Jack cleared his throat, reclaiming her attention. "I'm not sure Tia Dalma would like a reunion on her porch."
"Your right… It was nice seeing you guys." she moved aside to allow other crew members through.
"Your leaving?" Jack asked her.
She looked at him "… I'll wait."
He smiled and walked into the hut, allowing the crew to follow.
Lacey sighed and went to sit next to cotton. After hours of listening to Tia Dalma talk about Jack, she almost lost it. She didn't know what was happening to her.
She laid in the boat thinking about where to go next. She had just arrived back from Singapore when she heard Will was marring Elizabeth, then Tia Dalma had sent word to her about the plans regarding Barbossa. Once she had gotten back to Tortuga, she saw a few people that seemed to be working for the newly appointed Lord Beckett.
The door to the hut opened and Jack was the first one out, holding a jar of dirt. Will was following along with the rest of the crew. Lacey gestured her cousin to get in the boat with her and he did.
"Jack?"
He immediately looked at her as he sat with his jar of dirt "Yes, love?"
"Do… you have room on the ship for another crew member?"
He smiled widely "Of course."
Gibbs looked at the captain "But it's bad luck to-"
"Mr. Gibbs. Shut it."
Lacey rolled her eyes and moved her gaze to Will, who was staring at her "Yes?"
He smirked "Nothing."
She frowned "Aren't you supposed to be in Port Royal with your wife?"
He began to row the boat, predicting she wouldn't. "You have your friend Beckett to thank for that."
She raised a brow. "Friend? I've never even met him…" She paused "Why are you here with Jack?"
"Elizabeth sits in jail for helping Jack. Beckett sent me out here to bring Jack's compass back to him, and all three of us are supposed to be in for a hanging."
She thought about this "What about me? I was there too."
Will continued rowing "Don't ask me. I suspect Beckett has something to do with it."
She sighed "What made Jack decide he suddenly wanted to visit his old… friend?"
"He wants to find the chest of Davy Jones because of the black spot on his hand, to put it bluntly."
Lacey tensed up "Davy Jones?"
Will nodded.
"That explains the jar of dirt I suppose." She sighed "Leave it to Jack to try and find the chest."
"It's going to help Elizabeth." He told her ask the approached the Black Pearl.
She stared at him "You mean help Jack to consider helping Elizabeth…"
Will frowned "Jack will help her once he has the chest, he will have no need for the compass."
"Oi! You two comin'?" Jack asked from the deck of the Pearl.
"Ladies first" Will gestured her to go.
She made her way on deck, not taking help from Jack as she tried to decide if she was angry with him.
He smiled "Welcome back, Love." He held the jar of dirt close to him
"You're a bit friendly with that jar."
He held it tighter and his smile started to fade.
She sighed "Will told me."
He frowned "My eyesight is fine!"
"The bad eyesight is a myth."
"Captain!" Gibbs shouted "Our heading?"
Jack shifted the jar of dirt to lean on one arm and he used his free hand to grab the compass and open it. "Err…" He pointed to his left, then the direction Lacey stood… then to his cabin where his rum was before he pointed to his left again. This time it stayed there. "That way."
Jack watched Gibbs take the helm and turned his attention back to Lacey, who was giving him an odd look. "What?"
"Is your compass broken or something?"
"No!" He said defencivly
"So tell me where we're going, Jack. All I know is that your after the heart of Davy Jones."
He began to walk to his cabin and she followed "So you've heard of it."
She shrugged "Stories of it. I have no idea where it is though.
"That's what we're after." He smiled, opening the doors of his cabin so they could enter.
"Leave it to you to try and get out of a deal with the devil."
"Stay with me and you'll never have a dull moment." He walked into his cabin, expecting her to follow. However, she stayed on deck.
"I'll be getting to work now."
He frowned at her. "Why?"
"I'm not going to be apart of a crew and not do anything!"
"Suit yourself." He said as she walked away.
