Me broke, me peniless mwwahhhhahhhaaaa. (Sorry about that.) This is not my property, nor am I claiming that it is.
Author's Note: This story takes place after Piotr's death. This is also before the New X-Men saga, and after Generation X disbanded. I've decided to bring Bobby Drake back from whatever vacation he was on. Is it me or did Marvel just forget about Iceman just like they did with Bishop, awhile back. (Notice that too.)Oh yea some of the names might be misspelled. I was too lazy to go and dig through my stack of comics, just so that I had the correct spellings. So just forgive me already.(kidding)Please read and review. Tell me if you want this continued or not. I thought that I would shake things up a bit. If anyone knows how old Iceman is, please leave write down his age when you review the story. Thanks. :)
* Means thought.
Anyway let the story begin.
It's funny how fast things can change. Here I was leaving Generation X after the school closed down. I decided to go back to the only place that's ever been home to me, That place was the X-Men mansion.
Little did I know that things in the mansion had definately changed. Imagine my surprise when I heard about Scott's merging with Apocalypse. Of course Cyclops was now now back, but yet something about him has changed. He is so much cooler now!
Professor Xavier was back, but he too has changed a great deal. He's quiet now. Sometimes I wonder what goes through that mind of his, especially since that whole Onslaught thingy. It's weird that Xavier and Cyclops are like strangers to me now.
Then there's Colossuss. A real hero. Colossuss had sacraficed himself as the cure for the Legacy Virus. I think that one mutant had to die, before the cure could even work on mutants. Why he did it, I'll never know, but it was an honorable way to die. I was'nt close with Piotr, but I had to admit that I really miss him.
Rouge and Remy were the same. There were still the flirtations, and puppy dog looks that they both gave each other. Jean had said that I was jealous of what they had, on one or more occasion. Of course I did wish to have that same thing with someone someday, but I'm not jealous of what they have. Let's be realistic. I'm the only "kid" here among all these "adults." There's no chance in hell that anybody here would ever look at me the way Remy does with Rouge. No matter what she puts him through. So now I'm back here the only "kid" who must contend with women who should be models instead of mutants.
It was one of the reasons that I wanted to attend the Gen X school. I wanted to interact with people my own age, and for someone my age to fall madly in love with me. Of course thanks to Monet, she stole the only boy I ever loved from right under my nose, and was now dead because he was an mutant. Racism comes in all forms regardless of who or what you are.
Then there was Kitty Pride and Storm. Kitty was M.I.A. No one knew where she was or even if she was still alive or not. I guess some people have to grieve in their own way. I guess Kitty's way was running away. It's sad though. Storm on the other hand was a little more reserved. She had been very depressed after Colossuss death. She had always been very close to him. She missed him just as much as I did, or maybe even more so than I.
Xavier was back but he too has changed a great deal. He's quiet now. Sometimes I wonder what goes on through that mind of his. It's weird that Xavier and Cyclops are like strangers to me now. Even Jean has been affected by her husbands strange behavior. Then to make matters worse it seemed like my Wolvie was back in love with a certain red head again. He tried to hide the obvious, but I could tell. (I always could.) So I basically have been ignoring him Wolverine since I got here, and he seems to be fine with that arrangement.
Then last but not least, there's my partner in crime. Bobby Drake had returned for Colossuss's official funeral, and has decided to stay awhile. He's really the only person I can talk to, or rather the only one I feel comfortable with period. Yeah things had definenatly changed, and I for one did'nt like where things were heading. I decided to unpack some of my things, when I heard someone knocking at my door.
"Come in."
Bobby Drake stuck his head through the door. I could'nt believe that my heart actually skipped a beat. His hair was standing all over his head, it looked like he had just woke up from a long restless sleep. He looked good, but we were only friends, Story of my life. He walked right up to me, and sat on the edge of my bed. Words can't explain how sad he looked at that precise moment. I wanted things to be the same as they were. However that just was'nt about to happen anytime soon.
"Hey I wanted to see if you wanted to catch a movie with me."
"I'd love to icicle, only after I finish K."
"Sure Jubes."
"Bobby what's wrong?"
"Huh. Nothing why do you ask?"
"Please. I can tell when something's bothering you. So spill it bub."
"Look not here O.K. There's too many telepaths, brownoses, and thieves for me to talk about it here."
"O.K. Then we'll discuss this later, and I want the truth out of you understand."
"Yes Mam'e."
"You know I really should wash your filthy mouth out with soap."
"I'm sorry. I promise I won't do it again. Mommy."
"Wise guy huh?"
With a flick of my wrist I let a small spark hit Bobby Drake light enough to male his hair stand on end.
Bobby stood up and started walking towards the wooden door. He turned around and gave Jubilee an heartfelt smile.
*It's been a long time since Bobby smiled like that. I actually thought he had forgot how to do that.*
"You know if you keep this up, I'll be forced to chunk a few ice cubes down your blouse at the movies."
"Try it bub, and I'll be forced to throw a fireball down your shorts."
"Sheesh you sure know how to hurt a man. Well I'll see you later. Oh and Jubilee, could you do me one favor?"
Bobby looked Jubilee in the eyes and gave a michievious smirk, that would've even put Gambit to shame.
"Sure sno puff. What's up?"
"When we go to the movies, could you leave the yellow coat and pink shorts and glasses at home. Please?"
"That's it!"
Jubilee grabbed the nearest pile of clothes, and threw them at Bobby. Fortunately he dodged the oncoming clothes, and ran out of the room. Jubilee had attempted to chase after him, but stopped in front of her door. She knew he was only joking, so she did not chase him like she normally did. She stuck one hand on her hip, and tossed around her other fist in the air.
"For your information Bucko I do not wear the yellow trenchcoat or the pink shorts anymore! Just keep pushing me nerd and I'll wear my Teletubbie T-Shirt and lime green ripped jeans!
From around the corner she could hear him gagging and spewing.
"Oh please anything but that."
I went back into my room and closed the door behind me. I picked up the clothes, then I quickly folded them and put them away. Once I was done with that I laid down on my bed, and looked at the ceiling. You know it really is nice to have my own bedroom again. First I roomed with Paige, who could be an utter pig at times. Then there was Angelo. We were roomies while in L.A. Things got a little heated with us one night. (No it wasn't anything like that!) What I meant was that we had an huge fight, and I decided that hanging around a moody Angelo, just wasn't cutting it. So I left. I think I left away a little too hasty though. I think I could've handle one moody Angelo, but now it seems like I had to deal with a whole mansion full of moody people. With the exception of Bobby. He's still sad over Colossuss's death, but he's has'nt taken anything out on me yet or ignored me. He was always nice like that, and so sweet. I still don't know why he likes hanging out with me. Maybe it's because I can pull off the perfect prank. Maybe it's because I always buy the best cereal. I can't live without my Sugar Bombs. That has to be the reason. Everybody loves to eat all those wheat type brand cereals. YUUUCCHHH! I have to have some sugar in my breafast, hence the Sugar Bombs.
Then again I think one of the reasons why Bobby likes hanging out with me, is because I haven't flake out on him yet like the others have. As far as I'm concerned I'll always be his friend whenever he needs me, regardless of what happens. I don't abandon my friends. Umm Angelo excluded, but I'll be there for Bobby though. After all what are friends for.
