I do not own Sky High. I only own the Snowden family and the dance clubs I made up.

Warren knelt down in front of a tombstone, when Layla put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey Warren." She quietly said.
"Hi. I still can't believe it's been three years." He whispered laying a bouquet of red roses on the grave. "I know you're watching over me, but I still wish you were here. I miss you so much." Warren stood up and looked down at the tombstone. "How'd you find me?"
"Your Mom picked up the phone and said you might be here." She replied.
"I don't understand." Warren whispered.
"What don't you understand?"
"I'm supposed to be a hero!" Warren laughed looking up at the sky. He then looked down at her.
"You are a hero, Warren." Layla told him.
"If I'm a hero, then why do people keep on dying, while protecting me!?" Warren demanded. "Everyone that protects me are just wasting their own lives." Warren looked back at the tombstone.
"Yeah, you're right!" Layla said angrily. "If this is the attitude you have then she did waste her life." Warren looked at her shocked. Layla shook her head with a sigh. "Listen, I'm sorry I said that, but she gave her life because she loved you. That's what love is all about."
"I'll take if from here, Layla." A voice said from behind them. Both Layla and Warren turned to see Ember, Warren's mother. Layla gave Warren a quick hug then went to the entrance of the burial ground. "She's right you know."
"Yeah, Layla is always right." Warren scowled.
"Warren, if you truly love someone you will do whatever you have to, to protect them. Unfortunately, sometimes the person will die doing so." Ember explained to him. "I can't tell you how thankful I am that she did that. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you."
Layla was leaning against the metal fence that was around the grave yard. "Layla!" Will gasped landing in front of her.
"Will is everything alright?" She asked.
"Yeah, I just broke the sound barrier getting here." He gasped. "Why are you here?"
"Warren's visiting his grandmother's grave." Layla replied.
"I didn't know his grandmother was dead." Will whispered.
"Yeah, she died about three years ago. She died protecting Warren from one of his dad's enemies. So why were you looking for me?" She questioned.
"Right! I nearly forgot. Ice is out of the critical care area. The doctor is now allowing her to have friends visit." Will said happily.
"That's great!" Layla cheered. "We have to tell Warren." Layla started running over to Warren and his mom, but by the time she reached them she was out of breath.
"Warren." She panted.
"What's wrong?" Warren asked.
"Ice is out of the critical care area." Layla told him with a huge smile. Two dragon wings came from Warren's shoulders as he shot off into the sky. His mother followed soon after him. "Will come on, hurry up." Will flew over to her and picked her up before going after their friends.
St. Torrance Hospital for Heroes and Villains
Ice was lying on a cot in room 304. Dawn, Cole and Roxy were sitting to the right of her; while Lita and Nate were to the left; Raidon and Lance were leaning against the wall. It hurt all of them to see Ice hooked up to so machines and with so many wires.
The opened and all of them turned to see Doctor Lennon. "Its says here that Cole Snowden is Alli-"
"Ice!" Dawn, Cole, Raidon and Lance yelled.
"Why isn't she-" Lance started.
"Awake yet?" Raidon finished.
"Alright…It says that Mr. Cole Snowden is Ice's guardian. I need to have a word with you." The female doctor said, ignoring the twins' question.
"Actually, I'm going to turn their guardianship back over to our parents." Cole told her.
"Alright, please come outside for a moment." She asked politely. Roxy stood and let Cole get up, before sitting back down, Nate and Lita followed. Once they were outside Dr. Lennon closed the door behind them.
"May I ask what exactly happened to Ice to leave her in this condition?" Dr. Lennon asked. With a heavy sigh Cole explained what happened. "Wow, well that does explain a great deal."
"So why isn't my daughter conscious yet?" Lita demanded. Dr. Lennon opened Ice's file and put her glasses back on.
"Your daughter is malnourished, dehydrated, exhausted and on top of that she has lost a lot of blood. I'm sorry to inform you this, but Ice is in a coma and we're not sure when or if she's going to wake up. It could be a few days or it could be a few years." The doctor informed them.
"There has to be some kind of mistake!" Warren said. Cole, Lita and Nate turned to see Ice's friends.
"I'm sorry." Dr. Lennon said one final time, before walking away.
All of them walked back into the room. Lita saw the look in Warren's eyes. "Dawny, Raidon, Lance lets give them some room." Lita told them. Everyone left the room leaving Warren alone with Ice. Warren sat down in a chair next to Ice's bed and held her hand.
In Ice's mind
Ice was looking around a dark room. "Where am I?" She wondered.
"Where do you think?" A voice sneered. Ice glared into the darkness.
"In my mind." Ice whispered. Persephone appeared.
With Warren
"Ice, can you hear me?" He started talking to her.
With Ice
Ice looked around hearing a voice speaking to her. "War?" She whispered. "War, can you hear me?" But there wasn't an answer.
With Warren
"Ice, if you can hear me, I love you. That will never ever change." He said before kissing her hand.
With Ice
"I love you to." Ice yelled even though Warren couldn't hear her. Persephone looked at Ice shocked.
"Even though you might never wake up…He still loves you?" Persephone asked.
"Yeah, don't you have someone to love?" Ice asked her.
"I…someone…to…love?" Persephone whispered confused. Suddenly a face started flashing through Ice's mind.
"What are these?" Ice asked looking at the images. "Are these memories?"
"Their mine." Persephone whispered. "I remember now, I have loved ones as well. Yes, I remember…I-I love Hades."
With Warren
Warren looked up when a man appeared in front of him. He was holding a woman in his arms. Warren stood up and his arms ignited. "Who the hell are you!?" Warren demanded.
The male looked to be in his early twenties. He had extremely pale skin with coal black eyes. His jet black hair fell to his shoulder blades. On top of his head was a silver crown. He wore black armor with silver designs and a black cape. In his arms was a woman that looked almost exactly like Ice, only her hair went to her lower back.
"I'm not here to fight you." He told Warren in a calm voice. "Also, I'm not here to harm this Ice Snowden. If anything I am here to help."
"So who are you?" Warren asked again, after he powered down.
"My name is Hades, God of the Underworld." He answered as he put the girl next to Ice. "So this is your new form, my love." Hades put his left hand on Ice's forehead and the other on the girl's. His hands started glowing dark purple.
With Ice
"What…What's happening." Persephone asked as she began to fade from sight.
"Persephone?" Ice yelled franticly. "Where are you?"
With Warren
Hades pulled his hands back. After a few seconds the girl's eyes slowly opened. She looked from Warren then to Hades. "Hades?" She whispered as she sat up.
"Take it easy, Persephone." He insisted.
Without warning Persephone launched herself into Hades' arms. "Hades!" She said happily.
"I've been searching for centuries since you died." Hades said looking into her eyes. "I knew you would be reborn, but I didn't know when or who."
She then turned back to Warren and Ice. "Thank you Warren Peace. When you were talking to Ice it made me remember Hades and that let me truly awaken. It was because of me she was sent into a coma."
"But the doctors said-"
"They followed what the evidence showed them. When really our body was housing two souls and was beginning to fail. If you hadn't awoken me, both of us would've perished."
"Then why is she still in a coma?" Warren asked.
"Dear, the doctors are also right." Hades informed her. "What that body recently went through is keeping her in that coma."
"Then I will save her." Her eyes softened as she looked Warren in the eye. "What I'm about to do, will change her, how I don't know. Are you willing to take that chan-"
"Yes, no matter what I will always love her." He cut her off. Persephone nodded and put her hand on Ice's forehead and closed her eyes. After a minute she removed her hands. Not ten seconds later, did Warren feel Ice's hand find his. He looked down as Ice slowly opened her now dark blue eyes.
"Warren?" She whispered. Warren smiled and nodded. "Persephone, she's gone."
"I'm right here, Ice." Persephone said kindly. "I have healed your body, but you will be weak for some time."
"Thank you." Ice replied with a smile.
"Its time for us to go home." Hades informed her. Persephone nodded and walked back over to him.
"Home sounds good, Mom is going to flip when she sees me." Persephone laughed as they faded from sight. Turning back to the mortal couple she said, "I'll be watching over you two."
Suddenly the door opened and Dawn came in. "Oh goddess! MOM, DAD GET IN HERE! PERSEPHONE IS AWAKE!" Dawn yelled. Everyone came barging into the room.
"Persephone, give Ice back to us!" Cole demanded.
"I am Ice." Ice replied tiredly.
Warren began to explain what happened. "So the legends were true." Most of them whispered.
Nate went and found Dr. Lennon. She came in and looked at Ice, after a number of questions and tests she deemed Ice healthy.
Later that Week
Ice was flipping through channels, obviously bored out of her mind. There was a knock on the door, Ice turned and saw Dr. Lennon in the doorway. "How are you today?" Dr. Lennon asked.
"Fine." Ice told her. "Can I go home now?"
"No." Dr. Lennon answered.
"Then when can I leave?"
"At the end of the week." Dr. Lennon whispered, hoping she wouldn't hear. Too bad for her, the young earth witch did hear here. Ice looked at her like she grew a second head.
"I'm sorry Ice, but those kinds of symptoms don't go away within a few seconds. The nurse will be in an hour with lunch. I'll check up on you later, so don't try making another escape attempt." With that said, she made her exit.
Ice smirked at what she said.
Flashback
Ice was flipping through channels and nothing was on. When she felt a gust of wind in the room. That window was closed. She thought. Ice got up and walked over to the now open window. Or maybe I'm just paranoid.
When Ice turned around she ran into Raidon, Lance was busy closing the door and Dawn was sitting on the cot. "Hey, sis." Raidon said with a grin.
"What are you three doing?" Ice asked them and she sat back on her cot.
"We're busting you out of here." The two of them said at the same time. Ice smiled.
"I knew I loved you guys for a reason." She said. Dawn threw her black and red backpack at Ice. She caught it with ease and opened it and saw her clothes. "Yes, I don't have to wear this damn paper dress anymore!"
"Well, put them on!" The twins told her. Ice and Dawn looked at one another then back to them.
"Then turn around!" Both girls ordered.
"Your our-" Raidon began.
"Sister for Christ's sake!" Lance finished. Ice's blue eyes narrowed into a glare. Lance looked out the window as black storm clouds began to gather. "Ok, ok cool it." Both boys turned around as Ice pulled her pants and shirt on.
Just as all of them were about to jump out of the window, Dr. Lennon came into the room.
End Flash Back
Ice went back to looking through channels when Layla, Rin, Ivy and Warren walked in. "Oh my god, she's alive!" Ivy and Rin said with a smile. Suddenly Layla and Warren pulled out gift bags.
"Hey, we have presents for you." Warren said. Ice moved over and Warren sat down next to her. Ice kissed him on his cheek.
"You had me at presents." Ice teased. Layla handed her green gift bag to Ice. When she was finished ripping through the tissue paper, there in her hand stood the movie, Undiscovered, on DVD. "I love you hippie."
"Hey, we chipped in to." Rin and Ivy said. Ice was then given the blue gift bag Warren handed to her. When she was finished ripping through the tissue paper, there was X-Men The Last Stand.
"You, I love." Ice smiled.
"So, which one are we watching?" Layla asked.
"Undiscovered." Ice replied.
"Why that one?" Warren asked.
"Because it has Steven Strait in it." All the females said as Rin put it in.
Ice was finally released on Friday morning. She had just walked through the front door when she was tackled to the ground by Apollo, her dog. He then began licking her face. "Apollo!" Ice laughed as she sat up. "Yes, I know, I missed you to." She said standing up.
Ice spent the day watching TV with her parents, when the twins, Dawn and Warren walked through the door. "Hey, you're out." Dawn smiled.
"I thought I asked all of you to bring home all of her make-up work?" Lita asked.
"Powers said that she didn't have to make it up, since she took down Aunt Sierra." The twins said.
"Freakin' sweet." Ice laughed.
