New Muse

[mr_ice_guy]

Alright, mun. Let's lay down some ground rules if you're gonna hang with the coolest X-man there is.

First up, if you're sending me anywhere the powers stay. I'm Iceman, not 'the guy who can't shoot ice' man. No places where I'm going to be experimented on by some messed up shadowy faceless force. Sorry, not my kind of party. Find me some more icons, why don't you? These aren't bad but I know you can do better. And if you insist on sending me to some kind of sex island, that's actually fine with me.

So, mun. We cool?

There's places that can take away your powers? That's so not cool!

[mr_ice_guy]

You're telling me, uh...me. Those places are some of the worst.

[coolestguyaround]

I'm pretty sure there's a law against doing that. Or at least there should be.

[mr_ice_guy]

There definitely should be. Someone should get on that.

[coolestguyaround]

Do you think Senator Kelly has some pull around here? I mean, I seriously doubt he'd help us out but he's really the only politician that I know.

...Or we could just send Logan to whoever makes these decisions.

[mr_ice_guy]

Let's go with sending Wolverine. It'll be quicker than dealing with politicians.

[coolestguyaround]

Definitely quicker, but probably a lot more messy as well. Could make things worse for us.

We're probably safer sending Hank to give them a speech about why we should get to keep our powers. I'm sure they'd give up around hour four if they know what's good for them. [Because Hank can ramble on forever.]

[mr_ice_guy]

Don't be like that. Logan doesn't always resort to violence. I'm sure he's perfectly capable of calm and rational [Snort...snicker...laugh.] Okay, kept that up as long as I could.

Ooh, that is a good idea.

[coolestguyaround]

Yeah, Logan's version of calm and rational consists of waving those claws of his around. I must say that it's usually effective, though.

...Have you guys ever dealt with something called the Phoenix?

[mr_ice_guy]

Yeah, Logan's good for that.

We have. Way too many times.

[coolestguyaround]

Oh. I'm, um, sorry if I brought up any bad memories.

...It's caused some pretty big problems recently in my world and I was just curious if you guys dealt with the same thing.

[asongwithin]

I don't know, Bobby, that still leave a lot of variables.

And could we avoid the sex game talk? I know you're all grown up now, but the idea still gives me chills. [See what she did there.]

[mr_ice_guy]

Really? what did I miss?

Aww. Sorry, Mom. [He grins at the joke though.]

[asongwithin]

Zombie apocalypse, memory wipe, prison ship...

[She grins back.] You should be, young man. [And her grin gets downright evil.] Whatever would the Professor say?

[mr_ice_guy]

Okay, those sound pretty sucky too.

[He smirks.] Probably the same thing he'd say to you and Scott. And Warren and those girls he brings home.

[iced_cherub]

ew I didn't think any version of Daddy would be okay with a place like that. Thought he's want to stay somewhere where he could help people.

[mr_ice_guy]

Whoa whoa whoa...back up. Who are you and who is this Daddy?

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi Drake-Worthington. Iceman's Dad, Archangel's Papa, and before you get grossed out, I'm a clone of both of them, made without their knowing. [She's rocking on her heels a little.]

((mun is so sorry about her))

[mr_ice_guy]

[He's just going to stare for several long moments.]...what the hell?!

[iced_cherub]

Hey it's what I was told by Mr. Pasty white face back in the lab before I escaped because he was seriously creepy. It makes sense because of my abilities. Though he could have been lying he seemed like he would be a liar.

[mr_ice_guy]

Pasty white face in a lab? Sinister? Oh that creep has gone to new levels. Next you'll be tellin' me he made one from me and Hank too.

[iced_cherub]

I kind of took out the lab on my way out so there's no way he would have had time to. The computers didn't like the cold much. [She's proud of that fact, even though she turned the whole complex into a glacier.]

I think they're still trying to chip their way into the place to figure out what exactly was done to make me. Even Uncle Scott can't seem to blast his way in. All I know is after doing it... I slept about a month, so not looking forward to doing that again.

[mr_ice_guy]

Okay, uh...no offense, kid but that's not the kind of thing that would stop someone like Sinister. He could have made one before you, or had other labs. That guy is the definition of messed the hell up.

[iced_cherub]

Ugh, then there might be another like me out there but blue and fuzzy and no where as fun as Uncle Hank or Uncle Kurt.

[She frowns] That's not fair I liked being unique.

[mr_ice_guy]

Who knows how many different combos he churned out.

You're still unique unless there's an exact copy of you, kiddo.
