Chapter 9
Cold World
Bobby sat on a park bench in the place where Natura had taken him. It was a cold place, and litter was abundant. Even though Bobby had the power of making ice, he wasn't completely immune to the cold. He could only really handle about 10 degrees more than an average person, so it didn't take much. All he had on was pajama bottoms and a navy short-sleeve shirt, so he wasn't the well off. He didn't even have shoes on. Natura just dropped him off and left. He wasn't sure if John was really going to come. Maybe he just told Bobby that so he would leave the grounds.
Bobby had his arms wrapped around his chest in a tight grip and laid on the bench. It was so cold... A breeze picked up and Bobby became more miserable by the minute. He started to close his eyes... he wanted to shut them so bad... but what if he never woke up?
He vision got blurry... and he saw someone familiar.
"Rogue?" He whispered when he saw a blurred figure in front of him.
"Bobby!" The figure in front of him yelled, and started to shake Bobby.
Bobby's vision cleared and it wasn't Rogue... it was the person he wanted to see more at this time. John...
"John?" Bobby asked, his eyes closing and shutting involuntarily.
"Crap," John whispered when he touched Bobby's arm. "You're real cold, dude. Come on... stay awake."
"It's cold," Bobby replied with a dry throat. "Cold..."
"Here," John told him, taking off his leather jacket and handing putting it over Bobby. "Try and warm up. I'm going to get you where it's warm. Just don't go to sleep."
"-kay," Bobby said lazily.
"NATURA!" John yelled in the distance, out of Bobby's sight. "Come on! We've gotta go back to the house!"
"We're taking him with us?" Said the girl who had snuck behind John. "I doubt that's wise."
"He's going to die if we leave him out here, thanks to you," John said to her angrily. "Now we have to take him somewhere warm, now come on!"
"Whatever," she replied, vainly.
The two walked back over to Bobby and John picked him up with some difficulty. His grunts told Natura to hurry up and get going because he couldn't hold them much longer. Large petals sprouted under them and covered them. Its pollen glowed in the dark, giving them some light. The ride was a little awkward because John knew they were underground, but it was very quick.
The petals lowered and sucked themselves back into the ground and leaving them in the front yard of a large three-story house. This is where John lived now... this is his new home away from Bobby and the others.
"Magneto is gonna be ticked if he finds out we're hiding one of Xavier's brats," she told John.
"He'll understand. I might be able to get him to join us," John said, walking to the door and entering the main hall. "Besides, he used to be my only friend, I can't just let him die."
He walked into a living room area and set Bobby down on the couch. He reached a hand into the pocket of his jacket that was still warming Bobby and took out his lighter. He ignited a flame and sent it flying to the fireplace and made a large fire.
"Is anyone here?" John asked.
"No," Natura replied. "They're making a new headquarters in the mansion. I'm pretty sure a lot of us will be living there now."
"I almost feel bad," John replied. "I used to live in that hell-hole. I knew allot of people in there. But nothing is fair in war. We have to make some sacrifices."
"Do you think we can win?" Natura asked.
"We've already got half of it done, all we need is to finish up some dirty work and our enemies will be demolished," John replied, looking down at Bobby. "Can you help me find some blankets, he pretty bummed out by the cold."
She was about to come up with some smart reply, but the look John gave was pretty grave when he saw what she was about to do. She rolled her eyes and set off to finding some.
"John?" Bobby voice whispered. "Come back home...".
'Huh?" John asked, looking down. Bobby was dreaming.
"Come on. We miss you," Bobby said, smiling in his sleep. "Didn't we mean anything to you?"
John thought about this. Did Bobby mean anything to him? Sure, they were unofficially best friends, but did John really miss him? Did he miss Bobby, the boy with the ideal life and family. The Bobby whose parents would buy him anything because he was their "smart little baby". What about John? He didn't have anything like that. No family, no money, no happiness. He just lived a facade while he was at that stupid mansion. He was always pretending that he was something more important that everyone else, but in all reality he was nothing. He was just a criminal with a mutation. He could die and not be missed...
Magneto had offered him everything. He called John a "God among Insects". How true was that? Normal people didn't deserve to live anymore. They can't see the gift mutants are. They just discriminate and kill them. But now all of this was going to stop. They were all going to die.
"It's cold," Bobby whispered in his sleep. "Mom... it's cold."
"Yeah," John told him. "It is a cold world out there. But maybe you'll get to know what it's really like."
