Chapter 22
Ill Effects
When Bobby finally came to, he was pinned against the wall. He opened his eyes slowly wishing this was all a dream, but alas he ended up staring John in the eye.
"Hey Iceboy, enjoy the view?" He smiled at his trapped old friend.
Bobby bit his lip, "Only if you enjoy looking at an asshole when you wake up!"
John just laughed as he reached down in his pocket and grabbed his trusty lighter. "Feisty in the morning, aren't you?" Instead of just tapping his lighter like usual, he just struck a flame and watched it glow. "Do you show this much animosity towards Rogue when you wake up with her? Oh, stupid me, Rogue would just kill you! And maybe it wouldn't be an accident."
Bobby started to struggle against his bonds. Steel supports wrapped around his body, keeping him in place. The idea of icing the support went into his head so he placed one of his hands against the steel, concentrating on freezing it while talking to John. "Why do you guys want me?" he said hoping to distract Pyro.
Before John could even laugh, Magneto's ominous voice replied, "Another one that thinks it is all about themselves." He walked into the room with his great coat flipping in the back. "Feeling better, boy?"
"Just dandy!" Bobby exclaimed, as the steel became colder under his touch. Magneto sighed as he raised his hand to force the metal around Bobby's body to tighten.
"Get another batch of the drug, Pyro. Our Ice Bunny is beginning to do something which he will regret." Magneto walked closer and examined his prisoner as Pyro left the room. "You want to know why we want you. Call it bait."
"Bait? Bait for what?"
Magneto smiled, "For Charles. When one of his students shows up missing, he will go to Cerebro. He will track your brain waves, and voila, all the X-Men will be here to save their icicle. And then I will have the one I really want."
During Magneto's explanation, Bobby managed to create an ice field around the man. With a sudden burst of speed, it seemed like the ice attacked the man. Magneto realized too late as the ice that was as cold as a glacier, sealed him up to his neck. "You will never escape!"
"This icicle saves himself!" Within seconds the room was in the artic temperatures. Bobby concentrated on his restraints and covered them with ice. With one solid shove the ice encrusted iron broke, and Bobby stumbled onto the floor. His body almost refused to move because of how long he must have been bond up, but perseverance had him diving for the door.
Pyro stood at the opening with a smile at his face and his lighter in his hand. "You are feeling feisty."
Not bothering to respond Bobby dove at Pyro's stomach and both teenagers fell onto the ground. The lighter clattered away as it fell from John's hand. For the first time during a fight, neither John nor Bobby tried to use their powers. They hurled punches at each other and kicked out their frustration. Bobby thought he managed to pin John down, but John managed to fake him out. With one spin kick Bobby was on the floor withering in pain. But it wasn't over. John launched himself at Bobby, but Bobby rolled back and kicked John in the stomach. The teen went flying into the wall, and Bobby started to bolt from the room again.
Magneto had seen enough. He had thought Pyro would be able to take the boy by himself. With one concentrated thought, Magneto hurled Pyro's lighter at the boy. Pyro clicked the lighter on and sent a fireball as hot as plasma at Bobby. Bobby barely managed to turn around a block the attack. His mind was feeling funny as he urged all the ice molecules in the air to protect him. It must be the after effects from Magneto's drug. Within an instant the ice stopped, and Bobby fell to the ground withering in pain from the fire.
Pyro stopped the attack as soon as Bobby was down. He chuckled to himself. Poor Icey didn't realize the fire had only been a distraction so Magneto could send the metal dart that Pyro had brought in at the teen. With one of the simmering flames, Pyro managed to unfreeze Magneto. Pyro walked over to his fallen friend and pulled out another metal device from his pocket. He poked it into Bobby's blood stream with surprisingly care, and he filled the boy with enough of Stryker's anti-mutation solution to make sure Bobby wouldn't be able to wield ice for days. Just enough time for the X-Men to come and just enough time for him to pay his ultimate revenge to his friend.
An. Uhoh! What is Magneto going to do? While Rogue make the situation worse or better? Review and find out!
