Melting the Ice
Chapter 1: Approaching Cold
Note: this happens in the movieverse and between the second and third movie.
Bobby got off the plane once they had gotten back to the mansion after their little talk to the president. He was an emotional storm right now. Besides the fact that some psycho had tried to use the professor to destroy all mutants, Magneto had gotten his hands into it and had tried to kill all humans in retaliation. On the way his family had discovered he was a mutant and his own brother had called the cops.
To top it all off his best friend the one that had been there through all the times he couldn't control his powers had abandoned him to join Magneto. What he couldn't find out was why John leaving bothered him the most out of all the things that had happened. The thing was that he had a feeling that something terribly wrong was going to happen if Johnny wasn't with them. He caught himself looking around constantly trying to find the youg mutant with that smirk that always made him smile.
Bobby scratched absently at his chest. Damn that iches! Bobby started to walk faster trying to get to his room before anyone tried to talk to him. "Bobby wait up!!" Damn to late. Bobby turned around and saw Rogue running towards him.
"Are you okay?" Rogue asked in concern. Bobby stared at the young lady in front of him and the only thing that went through his head was 'what did I see in her'.It wasn't like she was extremely beautiful, she did have a certain charm but Bobby found that he didn't find it indearing at all.
"Yeah I'm fine.I'm just gonna go to my room and take a shower." Bobby turned around and walked away before she could say anything. He finally reached his room and locked the door. He entered the bathroom and turned on the shower. Bobby slowly took off his clothes and was about to get in the shower when something in the mirror caught his attention. Bobby stared into the mirror in cold interest. He brought his hand up to right between his pecs were he had been itching for a while. His hand ran over the patch of solid ice.
There was a patch of ice in the middle of his chest. Bobby ran is fingers over it to find that it was slick to the touch. When he looked close enough he could see his the muscles as clear as day. He flexed a pec and watched in amusement as the muscle contracted.
"Huh, weird." Bobby walked towards the shower and stepped under the water. Bobby was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice that the steaming hot water turned extremely chilllie before it reached his body. Bobby stood under the water for what seemed like hours before all the pains from the day had melted away. Bobby turned off the shower and steppped out. He used his mutant power to absorb all the moisture that covered his body.
Bobby walked over to his bed and crawled under the covers. As his eyes closed and sleep started to take over, Bobby thought 'tomorrow's going to be better…It couldn't get any worse than today." Silently in the dark the ice on his chest slowly started to spread onto his left pec.
AN: this was a little something to start the story off. The next chapter is when everything really happens.
