"Thank you for responding to my call Bobby. I appreciate your punctuality." "Well Reed, I normally don't move so fast, but you did say that you would pay me, and Christmas is right around the corner. I could use a few dollars more. Finances are tight around the mansion these days." " Hey, no fair Reed! You never offered me any cash!" "That's because you're already on salary Johnny. Now get ready for the experiment." Johnny Storm and Bobby Drake both put on shinny black suits that Reed had made for the experiment. Each suit had nanobots that analyzed the wearers biological functions. The suits were also fire and ice proof. "So what is the point of this Reed? I've got a hot date tonight, and I don't have a lot of time." "Chill out hothead and try a little patience, your date said she would rather go out with me anyway!" "Look Bobby, women like diamonds, which I buy for them, and they last forever. They don't like the fake, or should I say real ice, that you create for them, just to have them melt away!" " Well Torchy, you know what they say: When the light hit the ice it twinkle and glisten!" "Guys, I'm ready to begin. Bobby, turn into your ice form, and Johnny, flame on." The two young men did as they were instructed. "Fascinating. Its just as I theorized. The two of you are complete opposites, but your powers work in the same way. Johnny, I want you to start looking at the world in heat patterns, as oppose to always relying on your vision, but you can focus more on that later, first I want to teach Bobby something. I'm bringing this flame retardant plexiglass wall down in the center of the room. Each of you go to opposite ends of the room. Now Bobby, watch Johnny. Johnny show Bobby your nova flame. Dint worry about the room, I've taken the time to prepare for the experiment." "Hey Strectho! Whatareya doing?" " Oh Ben, you're just in time. Watch this." "Ok Reed, here I go!" The man known as the Human Torch then emitted a viciously intense heat blast from his body. The light from the blast literally had Iceman twinkling and glistening! "Good Johnny! Now Bobby, you do what you just saw Johnny do." "What are you talking about Reed? I can't blast my ice like that." "Yes you can Bobby. Its all in your mind. I've heard about what Emma Frost did to you. You are limiting yourself. Johnny would be the same way, but his situation is different. You see, It is the nature of fire to be free and wild. Johnny's powers are just burning to get out of him, but It is the nature of Ice to continually build up. To continually freeze. The ice within you wants to just keep growing and growing, with no change. You have to learn that you control the ice, and not the other way around. Johnny had to learn that lesson the hard way. He almost went to jail for burning down a building. Had he had more control over his abilities, he would have avoided a whole lot of trouble" "Yeah kiddo! As a result of that little incident, one of your teammates temporily messed up my everloving blue-eyed face!" "I Geuss you guys are right. I am Iceman! I control the ice! It is my birthright!" With those words, time seemed to move in slow motion, as a wave of subzero energy surged away from Iceman's body. The plexiglass wall in the room shattered, and the icy wave knocked the flames off of the Human Torch. Ben clapped his rockhide hands in applause. Johnny got up uninjured. Reed smiled. "Excellent job Bobby. I'm sure Charles will be delighted that you learned something. After all, it was he who asked me to conduct this experiment in the first place." Reed pressed the intercom button on the wall. "Franklin, prepare for dinner, and Sue, turn on the heat. I'm freezing!"
