Just a short chapter that will set the scene for the rest of the series (mainly)

Ice and Thunder

Second door on the left said Xavier to Kitty telepathically as she wandered around a school.

Kitty burst through the doors and comes face to face with four naked seventeen year olds. Kitty blushes as the boys stand in front of her and grab their towels. She makes a quick apology and exits as two boys come from the showers with towels rapped round them and throw two baseball uniforms on the floor.

One of the boys bumps into the other and sends the smaller boy crashing to the floor. 'Watch where you're going little guy' laughs the larger boy who's hair was beginning to dry and stick up at the front.

'Watch it and watch who you're calling little' said the boy as he covered himself with the towel.

'We'll you are little compared to me' said the boy as he flexed his arm showing his muscle before he looks at the other boys scrawny arms.

'Well what do you expect when you get kept back two grades' said Bobby just under his breath.

'I heard that you little punk' said Ray Crisp as he punched the smaller boy hard in the face causing him to topple over the bench behind him. Bobby pointed towards Ray's groin just as he dropped the towel, Ray gasped when he looked down to see a major case of shrinkage which of course caused many people to laugh. Ray growled with frustration before putting his clothes on awkwardly and leaving the room.

Bobby grinned as he walked through the corridor he was quite pleased with himself and his little prank he just played, A hand suddenly thrust forward slamming his head into a locker door causing him to crouch over for which he got a kick in the face.

'Think your funny!' yelled Ray as he held Bobby up off the floor 'I know it was you, I know what you can do' said Ray as he threw Bobby back into the locker and punched him in her face which drove his head back into the locker. It was at this time Bobby noticed a severe lack of staff to stop the fight and decided to talk his way out of it.

'I don't know what your talking about' said Bobby obviously terrified of the fifteen year old boy.

'You can freeze things' whispered Ray in Bobby's ear so no one else could hear 'I saw you, I saw you ice your body up.'

Bobby thought to himself he wished he hadn't done that to show off to his friend Peter but he did and Ray had obviously seen him. Bobby motioned for Ray to come closer 'Lets just say I can freeze things, whats…' Bobby never finished his sentence as he slammed his head forward colliding with Ray's nose, the boy dropped Bobby and reeled back. Bobby started to run only to be caught five seconds later by the neck.

'Mr Drake I think you'll find that fighting is strictly prohibited' said Mr Thompson the principle of the school.

….

That night Bobby found himself in detention again, he often found himself there for practical jokes, jokes, laughing, talking and generally being disruptive. He sat there twiddling his thumbs by himself and thanking god that at least he got away from Ray. The door swung open and Ray cockily swaggered into the room closing the door behind him.

'Hello Iceman' said Ray with an evil grin as he shot his fists out, Bobby flew backwards as bolts of electricity came from Ray's hands and connected with Bobby which had him convulsing on the floor.

'Now listen Ice cube, I got a little job you can help me with…if you don't…' Ray trailed off as he fired more energy at Bobby.

'Ok I'll do it' screamed Bobby as Ray finally stopped blasting him.

…

Bobby tried to think a way out of the deal all the next day but he couldn't, he skipped final period to avoid the boy. He burst through the front doors of the school to the street outside only to come face to face with Ray.

'Hey how did you know I would be here' asked Ray sarcastically as he grabbed Bobby and threw him in the back of a car before he dived in, charged the ignition and drove away.

Ray pulled the car into a run down house and dragged Bobby inside. 'You aren't going any where till I say so make yourself comfortable' said Ray as he tossed himself down on the soiled sofa which had a few springs pointing out.

'So what time do your parents get home?' asked Bobby optimistically hoping they could do something to stop whatever was happening from going on.

'Look around does it look like I have parents' laughed Ray.

Later that night Ray forced Bobby into the car again and drove to a big multi storey car park. Ray walked around slowly scoping out the cars before he finally got to a little sporty number.

'This is the one Bobby boy, stolen to order is my business and this is what they want' said Ray as he stared at Bobby.

'Okay but what do you need me for?' asked Bobby as he looked at the car.

'The security guard won't let us just drive out so you will make an ice slide and we'll drive it out from here' ordered Ray as he started to charge his hand as a threat.

Ray climbed into the car and started it up as Bobby stood on the edge of the upper level and created a slide all the way to the ground, Bobby turned as the car slammed into his legs. Hr tumbled onto the bonnet as the car raced down the slide, Ray slammed the brakes on at the bottom and Bobby who had been holding on for dear life flew off but suddenly stopped before he hit the wall.

Jean lower him down and then get everyone to fall back I want to see what he does in this situation said Xavier telepathically Don't allow anyone to be hurt he quickly added.

'Get in!' yelled Ray and Bobby complied climbing into the passenger seat as the car raced off.

'We don't have to do this' said Bobby trying to get out of the criminal act as Ray raced though the streets.

'Yes we do' laughed Ray as he did a doughnut in the middle of the road.

Sirens began to wail and the police were quickly giving chase, ray was steering the car expertly as he avoided all sorts of obstacles and stayed just ahead of the police.

'Bobby stop them' ordered ray angrily.

'How?' asked Bobby as he was nearly in tears from the sheer terror he was enduring.

'Freeze the car, the road, the wheels…just do something' ordered Ray again.

Bobby leaned out of the window 'I can't someone could get hurt' yelled Bobby as he looked at the police car behind him.

'Do it' ordered Ray again this time charging his hand with electricity.

Bobby concentrated and pointed his hands as a giant ice wall started to form right in front of the car…Ray was driving.

He swerved and the car crashed side on into the wall, Bobby looked down from about fifteen feet above the car as the police rushed over and dragged Ray from the car.

'Don't worry they can't see you' said the red headed girl who floated above Bobby 'we better have a conversation with your family.'

…

Ray sat on the bed in his holding cell cursing Bobby Drake when suddenly the bars twisted and a silhouetted figure hung in the air.

'We need to talk' said the mysterious man as Ray began to charge up his hands ready for a fight.

….

Two days later Bobby turned up at the door of the Xavier institute and was greeted by the other X-men who all seemed happy to see him when suddenly a large hole seemed to be blown in the wall sending the experienced fighters into attack mode while Kitty, Kurt and Bobby shielded themselves from the dust and debris. A large figure stepped through the door and smiled at Xavier and his X-men as several other figures stepped through his hole.

'Cain' gasped Xavier
