In case you were unaware – it is cold. I live in the south, and we have been hit by a crazy ice storm. So, in honor of this horrible weather I am writing a short about it being cold. Thanks everyone for your continued support! I am working on a longer chapter for this story, but we will all have to simply play the waiting game. If you have any requests or suggests please let me know! I hope you enjoy!

Baby, it's cold outside.

Winter to spring, spring to summer, summer to fall, and fall back to winter. The seasons are a constant cycle, but that doesn't change the fact that temperatures like to change constantly. One moment it could be nice outside and then like on a whim the temperature will dance over to an extreme and become unbearable.

The winter is especially difficult. The cold causing everything to wither, and the weather systems causing chaos. From freezing rain, snow, ice, and sleet causing problems for everyone. The winds dropping even the coldest temperatures to new heights by simply being more cold. Winter can be beautiful too. The snow in a mystical depiction of a winter wonderland. The sun cascading over the ice and causing a glimmering array of glistening rainbow shards to appear.

The frost coating the ground like specks of diamond is one of the first signs of the change that is coming. The chill in the air that requires one to swaddle into their jacket is another. Eventually the breathe from their mouths will become visible as proof of their existence is contentiously confirmed in the frigid air. The moment that snow begins to fall is almost magical in a sense. It is usually peaceful as the specks of white begin to glide and twirl from what appears to be mid air. The float freely down before softly laying upon the ground. Before, during, and after the snow has appeared the cold continues to create mayhem for those both prepared and not.

Lance was used to it. He grew up where the cold was normal. The weather was simply a hindrance to his daily living, but nothing he wouldn't be able to handle.

Todd grew up with it, but because of his mutations it affected him more so than usual. He could feel it through every part of his body, and feel it slowly begin to chill his blood. The feel bothered him. It was like he could feel his blood become slow as it thickened within his veins. He wasn't a fan of the cold, but he was able to tolerate it as he had no other choice.

Fred grew up in an extremely hot atmosphere, but because of his ability the cold doesn't affect him the same.

Pietro's body shivers at such a high rate constantly that his body temperature is regulated for the most part without him being aware.

Rogue grew up in the south were the cold is an abnormal annual event. She isn't as used to the cold as the others, but she is well prepared.

Jack Frost isn't a mutant, but he might as well be.
