Unusual Kiss

DJ.neo24 - Hi! This is far from my first story, but it is my first Fan Fiction so Review and Bare with me (I tend to have a multiple personality thing so things might get sad or something pretty fast because get moods). Oh Yea... plus I haven't really been following the X-Men story plots of late so please don't yell at me if I get something wrong! Anyway, "Let's Roll"!

Chapter 1: Fire In Ice

***************************************** "It's only fear that makes you run, the demons that you're hiding from, when all your promises are gone..." --Melissa Etheridge (I'm The Only One) *****************************************

Bobby Drake (aka. Bobby Drake) walked down the hall at the Professor Xavier School For The Gifted. The hall was dark at this time of the morning, it had only the slightest bits of sun light coming through the stained glass windows. He'd been out last night, doing God knows what (with God knows who) and again he let his team members down. He'd been bragging about his female conquests more and more lately, and everybody seemed to be getting sick of it. As he turned the corner he walked into Cyclops who was still in his Pjs.
"Where in the HELL where you last night? We were attacked and we could've used your help!" Bobby turned his head seemingly ashamed. "How are we supposed to be a team when you are never around?!"
"Look... I...Uh..."
"What's happened to you Bobby? You used to be so strong and proud, reliable. Now look at you, you're a walking piece of trash!" He stared at Scott's Ruby glasses. The two of them used to be best friends, but then something happened, with him not Scott, and he pushed him away. Bobby wanted to tell his friend, desperately, but he couldn't. He just looked down in shame as a single tear rolled down his cheek and froze from the empty cold he felt building inside of him. "You can't answer can you? Well guess what, the team is meeting today about you. I suggest that you figure out what you're going to say." Cyclops pushed by his teammate, and shook his head. Bobby ran to his room, flung himself onto the bed and cried until he couldn't anymore. He wanted to be able to tell them the truth, but the truth was that he wasn't even sure. All he really was sure of was that he felt scared, alone. The many (many) women of his life were just a moment of pleasure, a little bit of "fun" to fill the huge void he felt. They meant nothing to him. What was happening to him? What was he doing? His life had turned into drugs, parties. and sex. Why? Where did he go wrong? He tried to think about what he did, what they did, all that but he could think of nothing. He slowly got up and reached for his radio and turned it on. He thought maybe he could drown his sorrows in a pool of musical ecstasy.

Later That Day:

Iceman stood timidly in front of Professor X and his X-Men.
"Bobby, what's wrong?"
"Wrong?"
"Yes, wrong. You've not been yourself as of late and I'd like to know why. I know what's your business is your business but when you endanger your team, your friends it's our business! So i ask you again... what's wrong?" Bobby started to cry again. He shook his head.
"I don't' know." he managed to whisper "I don't know."
"How could you not know?!" Cyclops screamed at him. Iceman fell to his knees.
"Scott, perhaps he needs our help rather than being screamed at right now."
"Beast is right, Cyclops. I sense he is telling us the truth" The professor guided his wheelchair over to the hero. "We're here for you" Bobby looked up at him.
"Can you help me... can you read my mind?" Jean Grey turned away unsure of the situation at hand. The professor took a long deep breath.
"I can try..." before he could finished Bobby hugged him.
'Thank you." Scott glared at him, and angrily stormed out of the room, and Jean followed suit.
