Chapter 6: Bobby's Background

a/n: now its time for Bobby's story.

Bobby's powers manifested at the age of 13. He was taking a shower one night when it suddenly turned cold on him. He looked up and realized there was ice on the shower head. Bobby never said anything to his parents or friends about the incident. His younger brother Ronnie was 4 at the time. A few weeks after the incident in the shower the Professor and Scott came to visit. On his request they did not tell his parents that he was a mutant only that they wanted him to attend their school for the gifted. His parents werent suprised Bobby had always been smart he was in the most advanced classes in his school and still made straight As. Bobby had heard before his dads views on mutants and knew that he probably be turned out when they found out.

Bobby meet Pyro on his first day at the school. He was his roommate and they quickly became best friends. Pyro had been there since he was 9 years old. He had been a foster kid with no real home until coming to the institute . Pyro told Bobby he prefered his codename to his real name John. Bobby learned early at the school that many students and even some the teachers like storm also did the same.

Bobby knew he would someday be a member of the X-men from the time he started at the institute. When he started 9th grade, he quickly signed up for the Jr. X-men Squad they really didnt do anything actually dangerous it was really just training to give them an idea of what it would be like to be X-men one day. He and Pyro were the only members of their year who chose to join the jr squad. Many students of the institute would graduate and go on to live back in normal society, but some like Bobby and others who joined the X-men felt that they wanted to help others like them and possibly stay to teach younger mutants.

The first time Bobby noticed Kitty was a few weeks after she came to the institute. He, Pyro and Sally one the girls in their grade were in the library working on a group project for history class. Kitty was studying by herself at a different table across the room. Pyro said, "Bobby I wouldn't look now but i think you an admirer in the new girl."

Bobby looked over at Kitty and said, "oh come on Pyro shes like 12 years old."

Sally said, "shes pretty cute though and hes right she is staring at you."

Bobby looked over at Kitty who was definately looking over at the group trying to be unnoticed. He smiled at her and went back to working on his project.

When Bobby was 17 and in 12th grade a new girl came to the institute her name was Marie but she prefered her codename Rogue. By this time Bobby had also chosen a codename Iceman though he prefered to go by his real name. At about this time his parents had discovered he was a mutant during a trip home and his dad had disowned him. The institute became his home and the people there his family. Bobby was one the first students to befriend Rogue, and soon they started dating. It went well for a few months but their lack of being able to have physical contact strained their relationship.

By December Rogue and Bobby were doing more fighting than getting along and than the night that changed things between him and Kitty happend. He had found her upset and crying in her room and decided in order to cheer her up to take her outside. He saw Kitty in a new light that night and realized he liked her alot. He didnt mean to and told himself shes only 14 but he leaned in and kissed her. What neither of them knew was that Rogue had seen the whole thing. The next day she confronted Bobby about it. She said, "you not only freaking cheat on me but you do it with a damn 14 year old."

Bobby said, "I dont know why I kissed her but last night I realized I like her Rogue."

He did feel bad for doing that to Rogue and told her so. She did evantually get over it and a few weeks later Jimmy came to the school within a few months they were dating and happy. Rogue forgave Bobby and they became friends again.

A few weeks after Christmas Bobby and Kitty offically becamea couple. At first he got concerned comments from a few of the teachers and older students. Scott actually even gave him a sex lecture. Bobby went away from that dicussion a little pissed off seriously he may been 17 years old and a male but he did realize his girlfriend was only 14, and he had sex education just like all the other students at the school in 8th grade.

After graduation that spring, Bobby offically became a member of the adult X-men. He also started attending the university in town he studied mathematics and accounting becoming a certified public accounting but also getting a teachers degree. Two weeks after graduation, Pyro left the school after having an argument with Scott who was the field leader the team. Bobby still remebered when Professor X called him into office to tell him the news. He had asked him to bring Kitty with him in fact figuring he'd need the support.

Professor X sat behind his desk looking at the young couple. He actually had been one the few members of the staff that didn't seem to mind their age difference maybe its when Logan came back from the future and hed talked to the older version of himself hed seen Kitty and Bobby and the concern in Bobby's eyes for her. Professor X said, "Bobby I've located John. He's joined the Brotherhood."

That night Bobby and Kitty went iceskating again this time he was the one that needed comforting. After they finished ice skating, they went back to his room and he asked her to stay with him that night. He wasn't planning on it but that actually had been the night they first made love. He had been preparing for this for a few months now just in case, but never put pressure on her to do it. At the same time though he knew she had gone to Jean about putting her on the pill, and after that he made sure he kept a box of condoms in his nightstand.

A few months later, Bobby's worse nightmare was realized. He faced Pyro in battle. He never forget that day. Pyro stood in front of him. He said, "Well Well well if it ain't goody good Iceman."

Bobby at first refused to fight his best friend, and that caused Pyro to burn his arm pretty badly. Bobby still hated when the fight was over and the Brotherhood wind up escaping. When he got back to the institute after Jean had attended to wrapped his arm, Bobby went up to Kitty's room. It was spring break and her roommate was gone home. Bobby opened the door and found Kitty sitting up in bed waiting on him.

She opened her arms to him and he wrapped her up in his arms. She gently touched the bandage around his left arm. She said, "I heard you were hurt, but Scott wouldnt let me see you when I went downstairs."

Bobby pulled her toward her bed and they cuddled up together on the twin bed. It didn't have as much room as the double bed in his room but right now he didn't care he needed the comfort of holding her close. Kitty put her arms around Bobby and tried to comfort him. Bobby cried as he laid in bed with Kitty and evantually she fell asleep against him but he laid there thinking about what happend that day.

Jean knocked on the door and than opened it. Bobby figured she must gone by his room to check on him and figured out he was with Kitty. Even though he was technichally breaking the school rules by being in Kitty's room after lights out Jean said nothing. She said, "Are you okay Bobby?"

Bobby said, "no but I will be. I know this is against the rules but."

Jean said, "don't worry I understand you needed comforting tonight nothing like being held by the person you love when your upset. Scott told me Kitty showed up downstairs while I was treating you she probably needed it as much as you did."

Two years later during their annual ice skating trip, Bobby proposed to Kitty. She was only a few months away from graduating from high school and had already expressed her interest with staying on at the insititute as a teacher and member of the X-men.
