Frozen
Sumary- This is a story about the life of Bobby Drake before and after he discovered his mutant power and became Iceman. His life as a normal high school student and then at Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, and everything around it.
Authors Note- I know that in X2 it shows that Bobby's parents thought he was in a prep school and didn't know he was a mutant until years later. Forget that, all of that. Because I'm changing it. He's kind of going to be a mixture of a scared loner who's new at the mutant thing, and has a bit of Rogue's past in him.....if that makes any sense. Anyways, here's the first chapter. And for the record, Bobby is about 17 in the story, when it starts.
********************************************************************************************************** Chapter One- Bobby's World It really didn't make any sense. As a teenager, one would fight against a bed time with any possible reasoning, then in the early morning, the reverse. Either way, Bobby reached over his nighttable and threw his hand atop the alarm clock, this time knocking it onto the foor. He tried doing every movement of getting out of bed without opening his eyes. But when he bumped into the wall, time was up. Perpendicular to the room, his brother Ronny emerging at the same time. The bathroom was equal distance away, down the hall, and it was a race every morning. And every morning, Bobby won.
First in the shower was first to breakfast. Rick was hidden behind the morning newspaper, never once had someone seen his morning face, and Jackie was at the stove cooking breakfast as always.
" Morning Honey" she's never look up if someone were to walk in. She also never knew which child it was until they responded.
" Hi mom" Bobby sat at the kitchen table near his dad, " morning dad".
" Hi Ronny" the only bad part was he and his brother werent alike in any way, especially physically.
Speak of the devil, he came storming into the kitchen, " do you think maybe just one morning you can leave three seconds of hot water?".
Bobby shrugged, " mine arent any warmer than yours".
Jackie placed a plate of eggs and sausage in front of each son. " It may be the tank, your dad can check it later" he knew there would be breif silence. " Bobby, isnt your chemistry mid-term today?".
That was the kind of question that actually got Rick to put down the paper. Bobby stalled by slowly swallowing very cold orange juice. " Yeah".
" Did you study?" Rick asked.
" Yes".
" You sure?" Jackie questioned.
" Positive".
" Can I borrow five bucks?" Ronny tried. " No" Bobby grabbed his back pack and left the table, muttering ' freaks' before walking out of the house. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** School, a deven hour prison cell fro some was the only relief Bobby had from the hell of home. That's why he hated weekends, seeing as for half of them he was always grounded. But he wasn't a good student, nothing beyond barely passing. Somehow, though not always, he found the easy way out.
As the plan for passing the mid term came into mind, Cara Gabrielle closed her locker door, finding her boyfriend on the other side. " Can I borrow your chemistry notes?".
" Bobby, the exam is in half an hour, did you study at all?".
" No, but I can do it".
Seriousness wasn't really one of her qualities. " It's a performance exam, you have to practice, not read".
" Then help me reduce the chances of blowing up the school".
Cara groaned, unsincerely giving in. She reopened the locker door, retrieving an orange binder and handing it to him, " here, this should get you a C plus if you're lucky".
He gave her a quick kiss, " thank you".
She wrapped her arm around his waist, " how's life treating you?".
" Like hell".
" I'm sorry sweetie" she casually rested her head on his arm while walking.
" It's really getting annyoying. I know it's not long until graduation, but I feel like a zoo attraction that everyone keeps teasing".
Cara tickled her fingers against his stomach, " not long until graduation? If you call over a year not long".
Bobby shrugged, " it sounds better that way. But you know if I don't get into some high powered college, I'll be disowned. According to my father, that's the only way I'm going to become a lawyer".
They each pushed out one of the doube doors on their side that led to the school yard, and she failed to mention that college applications did require passing chemistry. " Do you want to be a lawyer?" she expressed the word ' you' and knew the answer before hand.
" I don't know what I want to do anymore. It feels like a TV show where I'm just going to wake up soon, . I have to focus on the fact that I'm bot floating around on top of my life, but that I'm actually living it ".
Cara stopped them among the crowd of students, " you have a gift bobby. You probably don't know what it is yet, but you're going to find it really soon. And when you di, then the rest of your life will look so much easier".
He grinned, " I can always count on you".
" That's why I'm here" she pulled him into her arms, shivering as she backed away, " it's cold all of the sudden". Bobby removed his jacket and placed it over her shoulders. Cara smiled, " thanks. Anyways, I'm going to get something to eat, and I'll meet you in chem".
Bobby Drake was different, and yet still didn't know in the middle of his junior year in high school. The signs were there alright, always had been, he just wasn't looking close enough.
