A few hours later: Night has fallen, a storm had rolled in and the students have gone to bed.
Bobby was walking down to the kitchen for a late night snack, perhaps ice cream he thought to himself, after all that was his favorite past time. As he opened the door he saw Wanda standing with her back to him eating the same ice cream he was about to enjoy. She turned around not at all surprised to see him.
"I thought you were coming downstairs," she said staring at his boxer shorts. "I'm just escaping the rain for a bit. I already grabbed you a spoon, if you don't mind sharing that is." She handed it to him as he pulled up a chair beside her. She was wearing a silk nighty that was making him think all kinds of dirty thoughts.
"Don't mind at all," Bobby smiled as he tried to think of anything other than what Wanda had on. "So do you read everyone's mind or just mine?"
"No I read everyone's, sometimes, but yours intrigues me most because I like you. I know you like me too. I can hear your thoughts about the subject remember," she said with a wink.
Blushing from head to foot Bobby stared at the floor. "I'm flattered and you might be right but I'm with Rogue. So what else can you tell me about myself?"
Seriousness spreading across her face she replied, "I can tell you that you wish you were really down here having this conversation but you're not. And that in a minute you'll wake up disappointed and thinking about me."
With that she snapped her fingers and Bobby woke up breathing hard and in his own bed. He had no idea how to wrap his mind around what had just happened. Did he dream all that? Or was Wanda inside his mind again? He sat there feeling the exact way she had told him he would.
Upstairs on the roof Wanda was still wide-awake. The rain continued, but Wanda felt none of it. She had telekinetically formed some kind of protective bubble over her head to keep her dry. She thought about going down stairs for some ice cream but thought better of disturbing the house. Her mind was wandering as she contemplated all the students she had met today. Tomorrow she would meet the teachers, meaning they obviously were stronger mutants. She couldn't wait. The mutants here had more powers than she could dream of and she wanted so much to touch them all and try them out.
However her mind kept returning to one in particular. Iceman, as she heard him called in his mind, cute nickname she thought. She wondered what he was dreaming of and thought she'd do a little prying and find out. After she woke him up from that silly dream she knew he'd be up for a while thinking about things so she went ahead and snapped her fingers and there he stood before her.
Bobby was scared to death at what has just happened that when he took a step back he slipped and fell on the wet rooftop. Wanda couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry," she giggled. "I didn't mean to startle you I just couldn't sleep and when I scanned the mansion I felt you weren't asleep either so I thought I'd bring you up for a visit."
Picking himself up and looking around wondering why he wasn't feeling the rain, he finally looked at her. "It's ok. How did you do that though? Another power I suppose. Sorry I was so shocked it's just this is a bit ironic because I was just dreaming about……um never mind," he stopped himself mid sentence. He figured she knew what he was about to say anyway. "So what do you want to talk about, how do you like the institute so far?"
"I don't want to talk about school. Let's talk about you and me."
"Wow, I'm flattered, really Wanda I am, but I'm with Rogue, you know that."
"How can you be with someone you can't touch? I can show you what you've been missing. I can give you pleasure like she never could."
With that she reached up, grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him towards her, kissing him hard on the lips. He kissed her back at first. Sliding his hands around her waist he pulled her close and kissed her passionately, but for only a few seconds. Realizing what he was doing he shoved her away and wiped his mouth.
"We can't," he shouted. "I love her, whether it seems pointless or not to you and everyone else. I'm sorry but we'll just have to be friends. I really want to just be your friend."
Wanda bent low to the rooftop, touched her hand to the inch of rain water that had accumulated there, and the surface began to freeze. Within seconds the rooftop looked like a lake, frozen over at winter time. He just stared in disbelief. She straightened up, still not looking at Bobby, snapped her fingers and a new pair of white laced up ice skates appeared in her right hand. She sat down and put them on. After that was done she got back up and skated a few circles around the Iceman.
"I really want to be your friend," he repeated.
She slid to a halt, spraying Bobby with the ice. "I didn't come here to make friends," she replied coldly. "Thanks again for the use of your power, you can go back to sleep now. Oh and sweet dreams," she added. With that she raised her hands snapped once more and Bobby was lying back in his bed downstairs.
Wanda continued to skate around for over an hour and just before she was done for the night she quietly whispered to herself, "I really will be enjoying my powers to their full extent while I stay here. In fact I'll be enjoying the full extent of everyone else's as well."
