YOU KNOW I OWN NOTHING, BUT THE SNOWDEN FAMILY.
Warren parked in front of the movie theater. He paid for his and Ice's ticket then they waited for their friends.
"You know when we first met, there would be no way that you'd ask them to come with us." Ice smiled. Warren shrugged his shoulders. "The great Warren Peace becomes social." As soon as the twins walked over to them Luke's cell phone rang.
Luke looked at the number and tossed it to Lucas. "Your turn, bro." Lucas groaned as he opened it.
"Hello." He said obviously annoyed.
"Luke, where are you and your brother?" A male voice asked.
"Its Lucas and we're at the bloody movies."
"Boy, it's a school night."
"Yeah I know it's a bloody school night. Look either you get to the point or I'm hanging up."
"PUT YOUR BROTHER ON THE PHONE!"
"I'm not putting him on the phone!" With that said Lucas hung up the phone and turned it
off. "Bloody prick."
"Who was that?" Warren asked.
"Our good for nothing father." Luke answered putting his phone back into his pocket. He
then took out his wallet. "I stole his credit card, snacks are on him."
"What?" Ice demanded pulling Luke closer to her.
"I stole his credit card."
"No your mom's new husband is your father? What about all the shit he did to her?"
"When they got back together we flat out told him that if he so much as pushes her that we'd slowly eradicate him." Lucas said with a smile.
"But the body?" Warren asked. The twins looked at him, both of their faces were devoid of emotion.
"That bastard used to beat our mother. I can't tell you how many times we called 911 for her. There have been so many nights where we've been scared shitless because we heard her screams. Then one night he has the balls to slap Ice." Lucas explained, with his eyes changing colors. Warren looked surprised at Ice surprised.
"Daddy and Cole put him in the emergency room that night." Ice quickly said.
"If he lays one filthy hand on our mother, there won't be a body left." Luke stated. He then smiled. "So snacks are on him. Who wants stuff?"
"Five extra large skittles, large cherry slushy and a tub of pop-corn." Ice smiled happily.
All three boys looked at her surprised and sickened. Luke put his hands on her tiny waist.
"Honey, you're going to ruin your figure if you eat all that." He told her.
"It's not all for me!" Ice hissed. "One for the parents, two for the twins, one for Dawn, one for Cole, and one for me and Warren. The pop-corn is for all of us."
"Oh, just checking." Luke said removing his hands.
"Gotta love a girl with an appetite." Warren smiled. They ordered the food then went inside the theater. Ice sat between Warren and Luke, while Lucas sat next to his brother.
"Hey, Ice." Lucas said between bits of pop-corn.
"What?"
"Do you still like Gambit from X-Men?" Lucas asked with a smile. Ice looked at him with a huge grin, while Warren glared at him.
"You just had to get her started." Warren muttered.
"Gambit is one of the greatest characters in the world!" Ice stated. If this were an anime Ice would've had giant hearts in her eyes. "So yes, I heart Gambit."
"Good, then you have to see what I have in my room." Lucas grinned.
Luke looked at Warren. "One thing we have in common, we both love comic nerds."
"Yeah, I don't understand a word she says when she goes on her X-Men rants. I sometimes know a few of the codenames." Warren admitted.
"Hey!" Ice protested. "At least I'm not a book worm!"
"No, you're a comic junkie." Warren teased. Ice playfully glared at him. He then smiled and kissed her.
"I hate it when you do that." Ice pouted.
"Really? Why?"
"Cause it makes me agree to anything you say." She then put her head on his shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Luke asked his brother, whom was holding his jaw.
"I think I just got a bloody cavity from watching them." Lucas laughed. Ice glared at him.
"Luke, would you be so kind, I can't reach." Ice asked in an innocent voice.
"Sure thing, love." Luke hit his brother over the head.
"OW!"
"Shut up, the movie is starting."
It was almost two hours later when they came out of the theater. Ice had a huge grin on her face, but was unusually silent. Warren looked down at her a little worried.
"Ice, you alright?" He asked.
"That movie was completely and totally…awesome!" She beamed. "Girls rule!"
"Come on, we gotta get home." Luke said.
"Yeah." Lucas agreed. They then walked out of the building.
"It's cold!" Ice said jumping up and down. Warren smiled wrapping his arms around her. "Warm."
"Ice, it's the end of October. Where's that blue trench coat of yours?" Warren asked her.
"I forgot it at home." She replied.
"You still have my trench coat?" Luke asked. Ice nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, do you still have mine?" She replied. Warren gave them a questioning look.
"When we were in middle school we went the mall and bought trench coats that were way too big. Luke got a dark blue one and mine was black. When they told me they were leaving, we traded saying that we'd get ours back when we saw one another again." Ice told him as they got to the car.
It took a few minutes until they got to Luke and Lucas's house. "We'd ask you to come in, but this is probably going to get really ugly." Luke explained. Everyone was standing outside the car, but Ice whom was sitting in her seat.
"I know." Ice told him with a smile. That was when someone came out of the house.
"There you two are." A female voice said. The boys turned to a pale skinned woman with long black hair. Even though it was chilly out, she was dressed in a red halter top and baggy black pants. Her red lips turned up into a smile when she saw Ice in the car. "That is not my daughter!"
Ice got out of the car and hugged her. "Hey Mrs. Drakon." Ice replied. She then pulled back and looked over Ice.
"Well, look at you all grown up. How is everyone? Wait, who's your friend?"
"Oh right, this is my boyfriend Warren Peace." Ice introduced. Mrs. Drakon shook his hand.
"I take it that Nate and Cole already threatened you?" She asked.
"Many times and I'm still alive." He replied.
"Ice, I like this one. It's nice to see you again and nice meeting you Warren." Mrs. Drakon. She wrapped her arms around her sons' necks. "Come on you two, dinner is ready." With that she dragged the twins into the house.
The night quickly passed and now they were back in their Super Villain class.
"So today we will be starting a new project; you will be working in groups of four. This project is on fictional super villains." Ice's eyes lit up when she heard this. "The group leader will be picked by the assigned group." Ms. Blake announced. The class groaned at the new piece of information as she reached for a piece of paper. "Erick, Nick, Grace and Torri. Mike, Bill, Izzy and Sue. Amy, Jared, Matt and Julie. Ice, Jace, Elisa and Warren. Finally Jean, Sky, Carmen and Fox. If you wish to you may sit outside on at the tables."
Ice and Warren groaned as they picked their stuff up and went outside. Elisa and Jace sat in front of them. "Hi Ice, I can tell that we're going to have a lot of fun." Elisa smiled.
"I'm going to go to jail!" Ice told Warren as she made a fire ball. Warren quickly put his hands over hers, putting the fire out.
"Ice remember what you were taught." Warren reminded her.
"Its only illegal if you get caught?"
"No, the other thing."
"Use a dagger out of ice, so there won't be a murder weapon?"
"No!"
"Then what are you talking about?" Ice asked confused.
"Murder is bad." he sighed.
"Oh that one." Ice sat back down.
"What the hell did they teach you in that school?" Jace questioned.
"Normal stuff: How to make a death and destruction ray. Torture 101. World domination. Ways of the thief. How to lie/cheat and not get caught." Ice listed. The three of them looked at her shocked.
"Yeah normal stuff." Elisa whispered. "You really are crazy."
"Well, at least I'm not the one hanging around my ex-boyfriend like a love sick puppy." Ice shot back.
"I'm not the one who almost took over the world when I was six! I'm not the one who almost killed someone. I'm not the one who stole someone else's boyfriend! I'm not the one who beat up their now boyfriend!" Elisa ranted.
The sky was blackened by storm clouds. Lightning flashed in the sky as the wind picked up and started to form funnels. "Ice?" Warren whispered looking at her concerned.
"I'm not the one who almost killed their little sister, on more than one occasion!" Elisa finished.
"SHUT UP!" Ice snapped. She stood up and sent Elisa flying back into a tree and held her there with the branches.
"What are you doing?" Elisa asked afraid.
"Yeah, I may have done all those things, but they weren't intentional. Lets go over the things you've done! You teamed up with one of the most powerful villains of all time. And why did you do that, oh yes I remember now. Because you couldn't handle the fact that Warren moved on. Then you lied to your little sister, so she would help you. Next, you help Demeter break two people out of jail. And remember when you dumped Warren because you found someone who looked better on your arm! Then when you found out he made a new best friend, what was it you did, right, you tried to scare me off. Hell, you even tried to beat me up that same day!" Ice yelled at her.
Warren and Jace were about to stop them when they felt a hand on their shoulder. They turned to see Ms. Blake. "Don't, they need to do this."
"You stole him from me!" Elisa screamed.
"No I didn-"
"Yes you did!" The tree shoved a bunch of leaves into Elisa's mouth, thus shutting her up.
"Don't EVER interrupt me! I am not your friend and I never will be. I am one of the few people in this school that is not afraid to kick your ass!" The leaves came out of her mouth.
"You don't know me and you never will!" Elisa shouted. "So don't pretend that you do!"
"Oh, I know people like you better than you think. You think that you're better than everyone else because of how much money you have. You think that because your parents are lawyers you can do whatever you damn well please! So you treat everyone you don't like, like shit! You and your friends make fun of everyone you think is weird or isn't like you. Well guess what Elisa, you are nothing, but a bully!"
"I'm not a bully!"
"Yes, you are! You just don't realize it because I'm the first one you can't push around. Ya know, I don't take crap from anyone! I certainly don't take shit from a spoiled, bratty, wanna-be-Barbie like you!"
"How dare you!?" The leaves were pushed back into her mouth.
"I'm not finished yet! Crap, forgot what I was gonna say. Go ahead." Elisa spat out the leaves.
"You don't know what its like to have your parents ignore you. To have them yell at you that money and power is the only thing that matter. You don't know how it feels to be alone!"
"Don't ever say I don't know what it feels like to be alone!" Ice said in a deadly low voice. "I know exactly what it feels like Elisa. You never grew up thinking that your mom only loves you because of the power you happen to be born with. You don't know the pain of growing up alone, without your parents there. You don't know what its like saying good-bye to a parent before they go to jail for more than a year." Ice's voice cracked as she cried and accidentally made it rain. She tried to blink away the tears, but it didn't work. "You don't know what its like to talk to your father on a phone, looking at him threw three inch glass wall! You don't know what its like to want them to wrap their arms around you, but they can't because they aren't there! Because I bet you that your parents held you when you cried! You've never woken up to a nightmare and walked to your parent's room only to remember 'oh yeah, Mom hates me and Daddy is in jail'."
Warren pulled Ice into a hug. He knew of most of what she went through, because he went through the same thing when his father went to jail. Hell, he remembers it like yesterday. Only thing was that he had his mom to help him. Ice didn't have either parent most of the time. Even though she had her brothers, it didn't compare to a parent's love; Ice looked back to Elisa.
"So don't give me some bullshit explanation that blames your parent! Your parents don't control the way you act now, YOU DO! So stop blaming them and take some responsibility for your own goddamn actions!" The tree let Elisa go and the sky turned back to normal. Ice sat down on a bench away from them as she dried her eyes and pulled herself together.
"So who's the leader for this group?" Ms. Blake asked them all.
"I am." Elisa told her.
"No, Ice is." Jace said. "You had no right to say any of that to her."
"Ice is the leader." Warren agreed.
"Ok, what do you want to do your project on?"
"A powerpoint of the Acolytes and Brotherhood of Mutants from X-Men Evolution." Ice sniffed.
"Alright, Warren can I talk to Ice alone?"
Warren saw Ice nod her head and stood up. "Yeah." He walked over to Jace and Elisa.
"I have a detention don't I?" Ice asked. Mrs. Blake smiled at her.
"No you don't. I wanted you and Elisa to talk to one another, but I didn't know this would happen or that she would say those things. And for that I am sorry. I didn't mean for it to put you in this state." Ms. Blake apologized.
"it was bound to happen sooner or later." Ice said fixing her eyeliner. Ms. Blake motioned for the three of them to come back over.
"Can you four stay after school today?"
"Why?"
"Well, you didn't really work on the project this period."
"Yeah." Three of them said.
"I can't, I have to take my dog out." Ice admitted.
"Can you go to Ice's house after school?" Ms. Blake asked. Everyone nodded as the bell rang.
Ice and Warren walked through the halls to the gym. Ice was being unusually quiet, making Warren worry about her. "You ok?"
"Yeah, I'm good. Just a lot of unpleasant memories that I suppressed are coming back." Ice sighed. "Come on, we need to go to the gym for club." They began to walk hand in hand. Until they saw Lash and Speed slam Lucas and Luke into a wall. "What is this? Be a fucking jerk day?" She was about to help them, when Warren pulled her back. "What?"
"If you save them, they are going to be really pissed." Warren explained to her.
"Stupid guy code!" Ice huffed.
"You really need some gum." Luke stated looking Speed in the eyes.
"Shall we?" Lucas asked.
"Oh yes lets." Both of them jumped up and push-kicked Lash and Speed away from them. They laughed as the two flew across the hall.
"Having fun without me?" Ice asked with a pout.
"Sorry, love, but they were really askin' for it." Lucas smirked as he shrugged his shoulders. Suddenly Ice was on top of Lash. "He did not!"
"Yes, he did. Lash, you're a dead man!" Luke yelled. Suddenly Ice hand her hands around his neck.
"What happened to the deal we made!?" Ice said while shaking him back and forth.
"Ice, he's turning blue." Warren informed her.
"He's fine. See he's smiling." Ice growled. Lash's wrapped his arms around Ice's waist, pulling her into a kiss.
"NOW WE KILL HIM!" Warren stated as his arms ignited.
Ice punched Lash in the face, then kicked him in the groin. "EW HE KISSED ME! GROSS!"
"HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?" Boomer yelled at them. "Hothead, power down!"
"He kissed me." Ice said once more.
"Yes, you see when two people court one another they do that." Boomer replied.
"Not Warren, him yes. The fucking elastic jackass on the ground! Him I mind!" Ice said starting to gag as she pointed from Warren to Lash. "Zeus help me, must wash mouth."
"She kicked him in the balls!" Speed protested pointing at Lash, whom was still on the ground holding his groin in pain.
"He kissed her!" Warren yelled back. Ice started to laugh.
"Shit, she's finally lost it." Lucas groaned.
"I'm telling Daddy and Cole!" She mocked. Luke's eyes widened in horror.
"No, they will go to jail for murder. That's a bad thing!"
"Forgot about that!" Ice frowned. "He kissed me!" Ice kicked Lash again, making all the males wince.
"Alright, that's enough! Ice do you wish to challenge Lash and Speed in Save the Citizen?" Boomer asked.
"No, I already beat them up."
"Can we?" Luke asked.
"Sure, find a partner by the end of the day." Boomer instructed.
Luke looked at his twin. "Hey partner."
