Discovering Powers
Johnny and I are on the helicopter going up the mountain as high as we can. I notice that Johnny is shivering, breathing into his gloves while I am perfectly fine, the cold isn't bothering me at all. I am looking out the window and the view from up here is beautiful, if this were a date I would say this was very romantic but I know better.
"Are you ready for this?" Johnny asks me proudly, I can tell he's excited.
"Yes...I can't believe I agreed to do this." I answer.
"Oh come on, you know you couldn't say no to me." I roll my eyes, I wasn't going to tell him he was right.
"Do we really need to go up this high? Remember we weren't going to be gone for very long." I remind him.
"The higher the better and relax it won't take long to get down there." He reassures me.
"I will admit...it is a little exciting." I confess.
"There you go. It's nice to get out and have some fun once in a while, you should try it more."
"I do have fun you know Johnny...I can be very fun actually." I give him a cocky grin.
"I bet you can..." He smirks at me. "...Are you... are you seeing anyone?" He suddenly asked, it took me a little by surprise.
"...No, I was a few months ago but he...he chose to be with someone else." I don't know why I told him.
"He cheated you, didn't he?" He asked with annoyance in his voice.
"...Yes...with his secretary." I quietly answered.
"Well he's a fucking idiot...it's his loss." He looks at me and our eyes gaze for a few seconds.
I advert my eyes from his, "how about you?"
"Well...I see a lot of girls..." he cockily grinned, I sigh and shake my head. "But no...no one serious." He finishes telling me.
"Why not?" I ask him honestly, "Don't you want to truly connect with someone? And not just some model bimbo you won't ever see again?"
"Who said I haven't..." He softly responded as he looks at me, my breath caught in my throat. I don't know what I was going to say as my mouth opens but before any words can come out a voice interrupts.
"Okay guys, we're here" It was the pilot, we made it to the top of the mountain.
We open up the helicopter door and sit on the edge waiting for the right moment to jump, I have a big smile on my face, this is so thrilling! "Okay, when we get down there stay to the right, it might give you some trouble." He suggested, I just roll my eyes at him.
"Last one to get to the bottom buys steak dinner." I loudly challenge.
I jump out of the helicopter, I don't follow his instructions at all, in fact I do the exact opposite and just a few seconds later he joins me. I am skiing while Johnny is snowboarding, so far it's a close race, we are right next to each other.
"Where the hell did that come from?" He shouts at me, obviously impressed by my skiing skills that he didn't know I had.
"I've always been good at skiing." I tell him.
"Since when? I thought you were all about school." He is so confused and I love it!
"I was but my mom loved to ski, I've been skiing since I was 3." I told him as I increase my speed.
"You are just full of surprises." He grins at me.
"And your losing." I shout with a cocky smile as I go past him.
"Okay, no more kid stuff, check this out." He says as he starts doing all of these cool flips, he really is a showoff!
As we are side by side again I all of a sudden notice that there are flames coming from his jacket, "Johnny, your on fire." I shout at him.
"Thanks, I can't believe how good you are too, that's so hot!" He shouted back as he obviously didn't understand what I was saying.
"No, your literally on fire! Look!"
He looks down and he immediately starts to panic, desperately trying to pat the fire out but it won't, as he very quickly goes past me a bunch of snow flies in my face and it causes me to fall. I roll down the hill for a few seconds before I am able to catch myself. I sit on my knees, trying to control my breath since that was kind of a scary moment, I didn't think I was going to stop at first and I suddenly notice my bare hands in the snow, somehow my gloves came off and my hands aren't cold at all. I am very confused but it goes away as I realize I need to find Johnny and make sure he's okay. What the hell is going on?
When I find Johnny he is naked and in a hole, it looks like a glacier and steaming like a small sauna, he is also very confused and is looking around.
"Johnny, are you okay? What was that?" I ask him.
"Yeah, I'm fine...I have no idea." He softly answers, "Care to join me?" He offers with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.
"As much as I would love to, we need to talk about what happened."
"Okay, I don't know, it's like my whole body was on fire...it didn't hurt and I swear I was practically flying" He explains.
"Here, we need to get back. You can borrow this." I take off my snow jacket and walk over to hand it to him and as he reaches for it he grabs my wrist instead and brings me into the water.
"Johnny!" I shout. I shove him a little bit while he's laughing, "you're an asshole Johnny Storm." I am so mad by his childish behavior but at the same time I am very sexually frustrated! I mean I'm only a few inches away from his very naked hot wet body! I start to lunge to him to dunk his head in the water but before I can even get to him Johnny's face changes from smirking to complete shock.
"Holy shit! I didn't do that." Johnny out of nowhere blurts out, I look down and our little sauna has turned into stone cold ice.
"I think it was me." I quietly let out as I look at my hands, again I am not cold at all.
"I'm...freezing..." He shutters, "Do...you...think you can...melt it?"
"I don't know, I'll try." I put my hand on the ice, close my eyes and suddenly it's back to being water, we both are completely stunned about our new powers, "Come on, we have to go back and tell the others."
I quickly get out of the water and am starting to walk away, "Hey, can you give me a little help here?" I hear Johnny say.
"Oh right, here." This time I just threw the jacket at him. I turn around as he is getting out, it's very tempting to peak but I don't.
"Okay, I'm good." He tells me. I turn back around to face him, he has my jacket around his waist to cover himself and I look down at his amazing body! Damn! I am pretty positive that he saw me lurking, he gives me a very flirty grin and here I thought I couldn't get anymore sexually frustrated, I thought it was bad in the sauna with him...now having to see his whole body!
"I could always just drop it." He smirks. "Yes please" I think to myself, I'm trying so hard to not bite my lip!
"Come on, let's go." I try to act oblivious.
We quickly go back to the hospital and go right into the cafeteria where Sue and Reed are. "You'll never believe what happened to us." Johnny excited spoke.
Both Sue and Reed look at what Johnny's only wearing and I'm still wet, they both look at the two of us, "What's going on here?" Sue asked sounding a little bothered by what she was seeing or maybe it's just my paranoia again.
"I can explain this." Johnny blurts out.
"Yeah, we can."
After telling them what happened at the mountain they inform us that they too have developed powers. Reed can stretch his entire body and Sue completely went invisible. We walk down the hall to see if Ben has gotten any powers, Sue mentioned that he wasn't feeling well so we thought it was pretty urgent to go check on him.
"It had to have been the cloud. It's fundamentally altered our DNA," Sue brings up while we are all walking.
"No, that's impossible, let's not jump to that conclusion. We seriously need more proof then that." Reed was in complete denial and as he is saying this I look over and see Johnny just randomly snapping his fingers.
"Reed, you might want to see this." I tell him as I turn my head to Johnny.
"Look look look." Johnny scurries to us and snaps his finger, a flame is on his thumb, he snaps again and it disappears. He does this 3 more times. "Now, picture that but everywhere...it was like everywhere." He motions to his body. "Via show them what you can do." I'm already standing next to a big plant in the hallway, I touch it and the entire vase and plant freeze and after a few seconds I unfreeze it, it didn't look like I ever did anything to it. "Isn't that awesome?"
"The cloud may have altered our DNA" Reed finally admits.
"Ah! Cool!" Johnny shouts out very excitedly, "And you know what guys? I think I was flying."
As we get to Ben's room I notice that Johnny is continuing to snap his fingers, it's annoying Sue and they are bickering, she will complain while he mimics her, I can't help but snicker at them for acting so childish.
"Ben? Are you in there?" Reed bangs on the door. We can all hear him making noises, we are all getting worried. "Ben, open the door." Reed shouts out again.
"Does anyone have a key to unlock this door?" Johnny calls out.
We see Reed has an idea, he bends over and puts his hand under the door and it goes all the way in and he stretches his hand to unlock the door, he brings his hand back and we all are in amazement that he could do that. "That's gross." Johnny blurts out with a little disgust on his face.
We all go into Ben's room and no one is in here except a huge hole in the wall that lead outside, "Look." Johnny says as he sees footprints on the ground, they are huge.
"What happened in here?" We all hear someone ask behind us, we all turn and it's Victor.
"Victor." Sue calls out, "Are you feeling alright?"
"I'm fine, just a few scrapes." He waved it off, "What happened here?"
"Ben did this, he's had some kind of exposure from the cloud," Reed explains.
"We all have...different symptoms." Sue finishes Reed's sentence. He's acting like he doesn't care and is pretty silent and looking at Sue. "Listen, Victor...about dinner." Sue tries to explain, I have a feeling they had a date and she missed it.
"It's fine...just find Grimm" He bitterly said.
"Does anyone know where the big guy is going?" Johnny asked.
"...Home..." Reed answers as he looks at Ben's picture of him and his fiance Debbie.
Author Notes: I know a lot of writers have given their OG girl ice powers but I couldn't help myself, I just like the idea of them having the exact opposite powers. And don't worry I will tell you what happened between Johnny and Olivia soon, just try to be patient!
