Second Story: Closure, part 1
second story:
'Here's to old friends, old friends!' Robbie Baldwin a.k.a. Speedball exclaims as he, Richard “Nova” Rider and Vance “Justice” Astrovik clink their alcohol shot-glasses together. After knocking back the drink, Rich declares that he refuses to call himself old – but admits there is no denying that he feels ancient. 'For what it's worth, Rich? You look it, too' Robbie jokes. Rich glares at Robbie and tells him that he is swell, as the three old friends sit at a bar, glasses of beer in front of them.
Vance picks his beer up and tells his friends that it is weird though, as so much has happened to them all, but in a way it is just like yesterday that they were New Warriors. 'Uhh, speak for yourself, Vance' Robbie mutters to his fellow Avengers Academy instructor, while Rich, a member of the Secret Avengers and the Nova Corps, tells Vance 'Try fighting in an intergalactic war or twenty and then say -' 'HOLEE CRAP!' Robbie shouts as he looks across the bar.
'You know, we ought to be going. I heard Galactus is about to drop a deuce on New York!' Monica Rambeau a.k.a. Photon states. Angelica “Firestar” Jones runsher finger around the edge of her martini glass as she stares off into the crowds of the bar. 'I said Galactus! New York! Deuce!' Monica exclaims. Patsy Walker a.k.a. Hellcat leans over to Monica and tells her friend that she owes her ten bucks. 'No way to snap her out of a funk 'til you say Angie -' and just then, Angelica looks over to her gal pals, 'Huh? What'd I miss?' she asks her fellow former Avengers. 'See?' Patsy tells Monica, who informs Angelica that Patsy is buying the next round.
'Sorry guys, I just got lost in thought about -' Angelica begins when suddenly Robbie greets her as he walks over to Angelica, who grins and stands up. 'Robbie!' she exclaims at seeing her former New Warrior teammate. 'Hi!' Robbie tells her. Robbie tells Patsy and Monica that he is kidnapping Angelica and they will never see her again. 'Thank you for your cooperation!' he jokes.
Robbie returns to Rich and Vance, 'Lookie here!' he tells them as he pushes Angelica towards them. 'Oh, my – you are the last person I expected to see here tonight!' Rich tells Angelica. 'Get over here, woman!' he exclaims as he embraces her. 'Rich' Angelica smiles, while Rich asks her how she is. 'Seriously, how are you? I heard about your cancer -' Rich begins. Angelica assures him that she is fine, before quietly pointing out that she has another face to greet.
She turns to Vance. 'Hi' she greets him. 'Glad to hear you're okay' Vance tells Angelica, who thanks him. 'So... she begins, but Vance turns away from her, and Rich and Robbie stand around awkwardly. Firestar then tells the boys that she knows this is rude, but she has to get back to her friends. Robbie suggests that she bring them over. 'The more the merrier!' he declares. Angelica frowns and explains that it is a girls' night out. 'I don't think they, uh...' her voice trails off, before she turns and heads away, assuring the boys that they will catch up real soon. Rich and Robbie stare at Angelica, but Vance continues to sit at the bar drinking his beer.
'Whew, and here I thought that would be awkward...' Robbie declares, patting Vance on the back.
 'Well?' Patsy asks as Angelica sits down. 'We had a little New Warriors reunion. It was nice' Angelica replies.
'- telling me you two still haven't gotten closure?' Rich asks Vance. 'Maybe it's 'cause he's got a girlfriend now that he scared her off by acting all weird -' Robbie suggests. Vance just winces.
 'What did he have to say? Ask for the ring back?' Monica declares. 'Be easy on her. As much as she brings him up, you know it's still a sore -' Patsy points out, while Angelica looks anguished.
Robbie points out that at the very least, Vance could have told Angelica that she looks nice. At this remark, Vance closes his eyes, while Monica remarks that if Angelica doesn't talk about it, she will never get over him.
'Guys -' Angelica begins, closing her eyes. 'Guys?' she calls out again, opening her eyes, she finds Patsy and Monica have gone – along with everyone else in the  bar – except for Vance. 'Where -?' Angelica wonders, as she and Vance look at each other.
'Okay... this is...' Vance begins. 'A little bit odd?' Angelica suggests. 'Yeah. A little bit' Vance agrees. He looks at his mobile phone and reports that his cell is not getting a signal. Angelica checks hers and announces that her phone is the same. 'How does everyone in a bar but us disappear?' Angelica wonders. 'How would I know? Like I did this' Vance snaps. 'Wow. Right for the defensive. Why am I not surprised?' Angelica tells him. 'Oh, for – you're joking. You're joking, right? Angelica, do you not see what's going on around here' Vance asks.
The two heroes walk out of the bar, 'As a matter of fact... yeah. I do' Angelica replies as they discover the streets outside void of life, too. In their costumes, Firestar and Justice speed through the air above the city. 'Back to the original costume, huh?' Justice remarks. 'Yeah, why?' Firestar replies. 'Just... making conversation. Kinda stupid, I know, considering' Justice mutters.
As they stare down at the city below, Justice points out that he doesn't see a single person, and asks Firestar if she does. 'No. Nothing' Firestar responds, telling Vance that she doesn't get it – 'Why us? Is it some kind of revenge thing, or...?' she wonders.
Justice tells her that he keeps wondering the same - someone from their time together in the New Warriors of the Avengers – but that this sure seems like a whole lot of trouble to go through. 'And I don't think we have enemies powerful enough to -' he begins, before noticing Firestar is concentrating on something. 'What is it?' he asks her. 'Do you hear that? So weird. It sounds like my own -' she begins, before being struck by a surge of microwave energy. Firestar screams, before falling into Vance's arms. 'Here they are. Just like he said they'd be. So... are we ready to kick our own butts or what, hon?' Firestar – wearing her Avengers' era costume – asks Justice, who is also wearing his costume from his time with the Avengers. 'Ready as we'll ever be, Angel' the other Justice replies, while Justice looks up at the new arrivals, holding the motionless Firestar in his arms....

Second Story: Closure, part 2
second story:
'I wore that? I can't believe I ever wore that!' Vance Astrovik a.k.a. Justice exclaims, wide-eyed as he stares at a version of himself wearing his Avengers-era costume. 'Hey! Look sharp, bozo! The fake olden daysme and you are about to -' Angelica “Firestar” Jones tells her ex-fiancee as she sits up in his arms, but her sentence is interrupted as her Avengers-era double and Justice's both unleash their respective microwave energy blasts and a surge of telekinetic force at the present versions, high above a mysteriously empty city.
'Not terribly formidable, are we?' the past Firestar remarks. 'Well, what do you expect? It's not like they're actually our future -' the past Justice begins, when suddenly the present Justice flies past him and smacks him backwards through the air. 'Vance!' the past Firestar calls out.
'It's cute, you know' the present Firestar tells her doppelganger, sending microwave energy coursing towards her. 'I mean, I don't know what your angle is or who you work for, but it's definitely cute. You even got the microwave blasts down pat' Angelica remarks. 'Oh, is that how this is supposed to work?' the past Firestar asks. 'You're real and I'm the evil doppelganger?' she scoffs, causing the present Firestar to go wide-eyed.
Nearby Justice battles Justice, with the present flying higher to evade a powerful thrust of telekinetic force from his doppelganger. 'I've gotta hand it to you – you really do remind me of me...' Vance comments, before dropping down and slamming his fist into his past version's face, '...but I definitely don't recall being this unseasoned with my telekinesis, especially as... as... as an Avenger? Did I... is this?' Justice's concentration starts to wander as he looks around, while the past Justice, who has fallen onto a rooftop, flies back upwards 'You were saying?' he asks as he slams the present Justice backwards with a powerful punch backed up with telekinesis. The past Justice then flies over to Firestar and asks her 'Where's the other you?' the past Firestar replies 'Granny's taking a nap'. 'Ha. Mine, too. Nice work, Angel' the past Justice grins.
'Angel!' the present Justice exclaims as he drops down beside Firestar, who sits up on the rooftop where she has fallen. Angelica looks at Vance and tells him that the other her tried to make her think she was the fake. 'I almost believed her, too. She can hurt me but I can't -' Firestar begins, to which Vance reminds her that she would have no effect on her double if she is wearing that special suit that Angelica used to wear to keep her own powers from killing her. 'Yeah, but that suit's destroyed. And it's not like everyone in Manhattan up and disappeared except us just so we could fight our past... our...' Angelica begins, before glancing sideways. 'Oh. Oh, wow' she utters. 'So it's not just me. You remember this happening before, too?' Vance asks. Angelica replies that she vaguely remembers it, like deja vu. 'Like a dream. So, those two -' Angelica begins. 'We were them once. Confronting our own futures' Vance points. They fly off side-by-side and Firestar asks Vance if he remembers why. 'Not a clue' he replies.
'Weren't we told we had to defeat our more experienced future selves? Why'd they go down so easily?' the past Firestar asks as she and her Justice speed through the air side-by-side. 'Not a clue' Vance replies, guessing that seeing them caught their future selves off guard. 'Yeah, but they're clearly not us. Could you see me going back to my original costume?' the past Firestar asks. 'Yeah, good point' Vance agrees, adding that when they were watching them, they seemed like they were so uncomfortable together, almost like they had come to loathe each other. 'Well, of course that's how it seemed. They were putting on a show and we were the intended audience' Firestar points out. They land on a rooftop and Firestar tells Vance that it is what their future selves want – to demoralize them by making them confront their cynical and disenchanted “future selves”. 'Maybe... but it seemed so genuine...' Justice remarks. Angelica turns back to him and tells him to think of who this is. 'He wants to trick us. Don't let him'.
Vance tells Angelica that he is being dumb, he knows, but that with the scare over what her powers are doing to her... his voice trails off, before telling Angelica that he doesn't want to lose what they have – he doesn't want to lose her. 'You won't. Not ever' Angelica replies, when suddenly, the present Vance asks 'Were we really that sappy?' as he telekinetically bends a large metal pole around the two, trapping them. 'No!' the past Firestar exclaims. 'It's okay, I can -' the past Vance begins, but the present Firestar approaches them and tells them that before they do anything they need to listen. She tells them that she and Vance have started to remember – not a whole lot, but enough for them to realize that this happened to them, too. 'That is to say -' Angel begins, before Vance interrupts her, 'Oh, for – just... stop. This is gonna take forever for you to explain' he mutters. 'Excuse me?' Angelica asks him. The past Justice frowns and tells the present versions to stop the act. 'We know you're not really us. For one, I would never -' he begins, but the present Justice interrupts: 'Never talk smack about Angel? That's what you were gonna say, right?'
The present Vance steps closer to his doppelganger, looking him directly in the eyes, 'I hear ya, I do. I mean, I am you. I felt the exact same way. But when she bails on you because she decides at the eleventh hour she can't actually commit? You will change your tune'. Angrily, Angelica asks 'That's how you remember our breakup? Because I seem to recall you deciding that if we didn't get married immediately then you wanted nothing to do with me at all!' she shouts, clenching her fists, telling Vance that it was he who bailed, he who quit. 'So you hate me now, right?' Vance asks.
'Because I'm the one who knew what I wanted from life, you hate me!'
Angelica points a finger at him and tells Vance that she doesn't hate him for giving up – she hates him for not being there when she needed him. Vance turns away and hangs his head. 'It's a trick' the past Firestar utters quietly from where she and her Vance are still trapped. '...a trick...' the present Firestar remarks, turning to her past self, 'This was all a trick, wasn't it? He plucked us out of the Time-Stream...' she begins, as her past remarks '...so that we'd fight each other thinking that was the goal...', as the present Firestar concludes '...when he simply wanted us distracted long enough to get what he's really been after all along'.
'What? Who's “he” and why us?' the present Vance asks. His past self replies that it is not just them – it's other Avengers, too. He adds that if the girls are right, then they had better get their heads on straight and work together. 'Because the he they're talking about?' the past Vance begins, before announcing that it is the God of Mischief himself. 'We've gotta take on Loki!' he exclaims, while a large projection of Loki appears over the empty city, grinning and reaching out to grab Firestar and Justice....

Second Story: Closure, part 3
second story:
'It's called Sverosorg. The Sorrowsword. It once belonged to a Viking prince, and to an Asgardian prince before that. According to Thor, it's beaucoup powerful. It's probably what gave Loki the ability to sidestep the Time Stream like this. But that's nothing compared with the power he'll command if he reunited the sword with the body of its original owner. Basically, he'll be able to plunge humanity into a state of debilitating depression. He'll turn us into his subjects' the past Justice remarks to the present as both Vance Astroviks fly alongside each other through a deserted New York City. 'Oh, well, hey, that doesn't sound so bad' the present Justice comments, to which the past asks him if the future is really that awful. 'Heh... I'm thinking the less you know the better, young me'.
At the same moment, Iron Man faces off against his past self, dodging a blast of energy, he declares 'The former me would know better than to try that!' while nearby Captain America blocks a lunge from his past self, who shouts 'Bucky? Even coming from Loki that's insane!' while high in the air, Thor clashes with his past self, who shouts 'Odin dead? NEVER!'
Nearby, Firestar past and present soar alongside a tall building, with the past telling the present that she needs to know: 'Is all this true? Do Vance and I really break up and become all bitter and resentful about it?' The present Angelica Jones asks her past self if they can focus on the problem at hand, pointing out that they have to fight the God of Lies. 'And that's a bit out of our league – even at double strength' she adds. 'Well that's why I thought we should split into teams' the past Angelica points out.
'Come on. I wanted to split us into teams for a reason. If you're really me, then you know how badly I need to know this stuff!' the past Vance declares. 'Does it even matter?' the present asks, adding that he didn't remember one thing about this whole Loki business until seeing the two past versions of he and Firestar, and then the old feelings started. 'Well, you know' Vance mutters. 'So you do still have feelings for Angel. We do' the past remarks.
The present Firestar tells her past self that she has a bad feeling, asking why they have figured this out but the rest of the Avengers are still fighting. 'I wish we had time to fix that. Oh, and way to change the subject, by the way' the past mutters. 'Like you said. There isn't much time...' the present points out.
Elsewhere, holding the Sorrowsword, Loki stands over a coffin in some sort of temple, 'Ah, sweet prince. Remember me? I've brought you a little something...' Loki calls out. Suddenly, he notices something and glances sideways, 'Eh?' he calls out, before casting the sword forth, it releases energies that strike the past and present Justices back, knocking the heroes to the ground. 'Fools!' Loki shouts at them. He walks towards them and remarks 'Leave it to the young and impetuous to break from the rules. And myself, I do concede, but that is neither here not there...'. Loki notices a curious smell. He turns back to the coffin, and roars 'NO!' as he sees the past and present Firestars using their microwave energies to destroy the skeleton. 'Yeah, sorry about that, Loki' the present Angelica remarks. 'I'm sure he'd wanted a Viking funeral in the first place, right?' the past asks.
'They distracted me! Of all the simple-minded, obvious tricks -!' Loki declares, raising his sword to the girls, with the past telling him that he fell for it. Loki fires energies from the sword towards both Firestars, as he tells them that it is most amusing, they may have stolen final victory from his grasp, but he yet controls Sverosorg. 'Therefore, I declare this childish uprising...at its end!' Loki exclaims as he slams the sword into the ground, energy bursts upwards, whirling around the past and present Firestar and Justice. 'Back! Return whence you came!' Loki shouts at them. 'Hang on, Vance! We can't let him send us back!' the past Firestar calls out. 'I'm trying' Vance responds. The present Justice grabs Firestar, who tells him that she remembers – she remembers what they did to end all this. Justice tells her that he does too, but that he thinks they had help. 'Ready?' he asks.
Down below, Loki shakes his fist at the young heroes, 'Oh, such a valiant effort, girls. But I'm afraid your aim could use a bit more...' he begins as both Firestars fire their microwave energies towards Loki – and directly past him, striking the Sorrowsword. 'No! What are you doing?' Loki shouts at them. 'There! The floor's molten! Now, Vance! Bury it!' the past Firestar shouts. 'Bury it deep!' the present exclaims, both Firestars encouraging their respective Justice on. Telekinetic energy pushes the sword down into the ground, deeper and deeper. 'No!' Loki shouts. 'NOOOOOOOOO' he roars, throwing his arms into the air, the present Firestar closes her eyes – then re-opens them, to find herself and Justice standing before two surprised security guards.
The Past:
'Excellent work, you two' Captain America remarks as he stands next to Justice and Firestar. 'Indeed, our young lovers have won this day' Thor points out. Firestar leads Justice down some steps away from Cap, Thor, Iron Man, the Scarlet Witch, Wonder Man, Hawkeye, Warbird and the Vision, as Vance tells Angel that there was something he said – or something the other Vance said – and it got him thinking. He tells Angelica that he thinks why their older versions were able to remember what happened to them now is because – 'Because they saw us together. They saw us together and it... brought back memories' Angelica smiles. 'Feelings, he said' Justice replies.
Present:
Angelica checks her mobile phone and tells Vance that she has a million text messages. 'Same. Robbie thinks we hooked up. Typical' Vance replies. They exit the pub together, 'Look, Angel, the things I said back there... I was -' Vance begins, but Angelica interrupts him, 'I know. You were being honest with your emotions. We both were' Angelica tells him. They see some people up ahead of them, 'Yeah, but -' Vance begins. Angelica interrupts him and points out that it is okay, they did a crap job of breaking up, they left a lot on the table. 'Baggage' Vance remarks. Angelica agrees. Vance then asks Angelica if she wants to get a coffee and talk, but Angelica tells him that she really should get to bed, as she has classes in the morning. Vance frowns, 'Yeah, right. No, I've got a lot on my plate, too. Probably for the best, huh' Vance remarks.
The Past:
Vance tells Firestar that part of him wonders, if it's for the best. 'If we end up, uh...' his voice trails off. 'What's for the best?' Angelica asks him. 'If what? What we were just talking about?' Vance tells her. 'No clue' Angelica remarks. They take flight, and Vance tells Angelica that he has been promising this forever and a day, and suggests that they went out for a little ring shopping. 'Vance! Don't tease! I can and will microwave you to death!' Angelica replies. Vance tells her that he is serious. They take hands and Vance tells Angelica that he loves her. 'Aww, I love you too, Vance. Now... and forever'.
Present:
Angelica leaves Vance and crosses a street without a backwards glance, while Vance hangs his head.

The Fuse !
In a world where Oblivion has created from nothing, wars rage and the innocent are slaughtered and “devils laugh”. In a fortress above all the suffering, Oblivion, the master of this realm speaks to his two servants. Oblivion commands his servants, the Idiot and White Light, to not fail him in their next mission, and they tell him they know the price of failure. Then Oblivion transports them to present day earth.
In Port Jefferson, Long Island, where Iceman’s parents live, he is in his ice form propelling himself above the streets below. Pedestrians look up to notice him but Iceman does not care because he is thinking of his parents. The reason Iceman is here in this town is to be present at his father’s retirement party. Iceman is thinking of how scared he is to see his parents again and realizing he is less scared of villains in his past then them.
As he sleds over a bus stop he notices a girl getting off the bus he recognizes. It is Mary, his cousin, one of the only people besides his parents that grew up with him that know his mutant secret. He swings down and picks her up while she does not seem surprised she asks him if he is not worried about someone figuring his secret identity out. As the pedestrians watch Mary being picked up by who they think is the Silver Surfer, Iceman explains to Mary that no one really even recognizes the name Iceman. He tells Mary that the reason he is afraid to face his parents is because he had promised them he would get out of the hero business and continue taking classes in accounting. Which he did for a while but now he is back doing hero stuff with the Defenders. Iceman is wondering whether he got back into superheroing because he wants to help mankind or just because Hank and Warren (Beast & Angel) are such big pressures in his life. As Iceman and Mary are talking, Iceman notices a girl walking with what seems to be her parents, brother, and grandfather. Mary notices his attention is somewhere else and asks him what’s wrong. While Iceman stutters he finally comes out and says he is “in love”. Iceman drops Mary off on the sidewalk and tells her to not tell her parents she has seen him. Mary tells him she will see him later, as Iceman thinks of the girl he just saw and wonders what he can do to impress her.
Iceman begins to make an ice-pole to slide down but when he slides down in front of the beautiful girl and her family the ice-pole breaks and Iceman falls to the ground. The girl screams and tells her family to run away, but her brother stays back thinking that this guy is not a bad guy. Iceman wonders to himself of why his ice-pole broke and he complains that now he has a migraine and plus he scared off the girl. Just then a cop comes up and asks Iceman (although the cop calls him Silver Surfer) if he is done kidnapping innocent girls. Iceman then tells him it was all a misunderstanding and he is not the Silver Surfer, but the Iceman. The cop then realizes who he is from the news reports and tells him he does not want Iceman spreading his “mutant trash” all over “his city”. Iceman decides the best thing to do is leave so he freezes the cop in ice and tells him an hour on ice might help him “cool off”.
Iceman ducks behind a fence in some backyard and begins to change from his uniform to meet his parents. As he changes he thinks to himself of the entire mutant hate crimes lately. He thinks that with Dazzler coming out as a mutant and the X-Men’s recent win against Stryker would have helped ease human and mutant relations. A little dog starts barking at him and an old lady looks out her window to see Iceman changing in her back yard. She screams for help, thinking he is taking his clothes off. Iceman tries to calm her down but she keeps screaming and not wanting to have the police involved again Iceman runs away.
Bobby runs and as he is thinking of the dog he just saw and how his parents would never allow him to have a pet. He remembers how overprotective his parents were and how that’s probably the reason he is so “neurotic” and he does not notice the same pretty girl in front of him and he accidentally knocks her down. Bobby apologizes to her and her father tells him that “accidents happen” and to not feel bad. The grandfather asks Bobby if he is new to the area and he explains that he grew up in this neighborhood and he is just back visiting his parents. Bobby tells them who his parents are and the old man tells him to tell his parents the “Smiths” said “hi”. As the pretty girl’s family is walking into their home (which is right next door to Bobby’s parents home) he tries to talk to the pretty girl but her little brother drags her into their house. Bobby walks to his home shocked that he is in love with the “girl next door”.
When Bobby enters his parents home they react to be so happy to see him and Bobby wonders why he was so scared to see them again. A few minutes later though he remembers why when his mother complains of his shirt being too wrinkled and his father saying that “super heroes” think “their to busy to dress decent for their parents.”
Meanwhile across town Ralph (the cop who tried to bust Iceman earlier) and another police officer notices two mutant looking people who are talking about, if this was the right “coordinates” and the other confirming it was. Ralph thinks that these mutants must be Iceman’s friends and he tries to harass them. The one named White Light begins to glow and Ralph says “Buddy, if you think that crazy light o’ yours is gonna stop Ralph Ratchit, then….” and then White Light commands Ralph to be silent. Which he does and also he commands Ralph to drop his weapon and he does that also. The Idiot picks up a dumpster and asks if he can kill the two cops. White Light tells him no and the Idiot drops the dumpster. White Light commands the officers to go home and fall asleep and forget any of this ever happened, which they do. Then the villains go off to hunt their prey.
Back at Bobby’s parents home the party is underway with all of his father’s friends and family there. Two of Bobby’s relatives are pinching his cheeks and telling him about when he was a baby. When Mary finds him and drags him outside to finish their earlier conversation. Bobby tells her that how he is upset because his parents want him to become an accountant and live a normal life. Just cousin Joel comes out tries to give Bobby advice on why he should not quit college (which Bobby is thinking about). Bobby gets mad at Joel and starts to tell him what he can do with his advice, when Bobby’s dad comes out and tells him not to shame him by acting this way and to come back inside. Bobby though gets mad and walks off leaving his father screaming to come back.
As Bobby walks down the sidewalk he wonders if he should blame himself or his parents because he is so screwed up and again he does not notice the pretty girl carrying a tray of brownies and he knocks her down on accident. Bobby apologizes and tells her his name and she says that her name is Marge and that she was taking the brownies over to Bobby’s dad’s party. He asks if they can just “salvage what they can from the brownies” and “have” their “own party”.
Elsewhere at the old ladies house from earlier White Light and the Idiot cause the old lady to think them as nice folks whose car just broke down and they need to use her telephone. When they get inside her house though White Light commands the old lady and her dog to go to sleep for an hour. Then White Light creates a device that will help the Idiot (who’s ability is strength and the ability to detect mutants nearby) to increase his tracking ability to help them find their prey better.
Meanwhile on the front steps of Marge’s house Bobby tells her about his life growing up in this neighbor hood. Marge’s family comes out and tells them that a special show will be on television in a minute if they would like to watch it. They both agree they would rather stay outside and talk. Marge laughs at Bobby’s stumbling through his words and tells him that she likes him. Bobby tells her he likes her also and just then White Light and the Idiot crash through the roof of the porch. White Light asks the Idiot which one is the prey they are after. Bobby thinks they are after him and transforms into Iceman although the Idiot can not tell if it‘s Marge or Bobby who they are after. White Light tries to tell Iceman to become tired and surrender (White Light‘s ability is to charm people with his light, to make them do what he wants, and also to invent anything he can imagine). Iceman starts to surrender but realizes it is just a trick and throws up an ice-shield in enough time to protect him from his light. The Idiot crashes through Iceman’s shield and asks Iceman to make it easy on them and just surrender. Iceman says “not in this lifetime” and wonders how he can move this fight away from the area and he hopes Marge made it out all right. The next scene shows Marge and her little brother running into a closet and a light surrounding them and they disappear. Then Bobby remembers his parents next door and worries about them and all his relatives.
Next door at the Drake’s estate, Bobby’s mother Madelaine tries to rush to his side but her husband William holds her back. Mr. Drake tells her not to go that she could get killed and that Bobby can take care of himself. Just then the Idiot pulls the entire house of Marge’s down on Iceman and themselves as Bobby’s parents watch from the front steps of their home.
The Drakes rush over to find their son and they see him come from the rubble with White Light and the Idiot cased in ice. Though before they make it to Iceman the two villains disappear and leave Iceman all alone. Just then Ralph Ratchit walks in wearing his bathrobe and putting Iceman under arrest. As Iceman’s parents, Mary, and Joel rush to see what’s going on Joel is surprised and asks Mary if “that thing is Bobby ?”  Iceman sits on the torn down chimney and thinks to himself “Why Me ?”

Margaret’s family tries to convince her to help Bobby because he does not know how to even use the device and he might bounce himself out of existence. Margaret demands them to be silent or she will bounce them out of existence as well.
(In New York ,1942)
Bobby appears on the sidewalk and a police officer confronts him asking him why he is running around in his underwear. Bobby asks to know what year he is in and the officer tells him “1942 of course”. Bobby then turns into Iceman and sleds off to get away from the police officer. The officer though gets scared and pulls out his gun aiming it for Iceman and telling Iceman that “Huntz Ratchit’s bringing you in.” He shoots Iceman through the shoulder causing him to drop the bounce-box. Iceman swoops down to get it, turns back into Bobby and stumbles through the alleyway. Bobby wonders if all of this is not just another hallucination and faints in front of a doorway.
Bobby wakes up to see his younger father and mother’s faces. William tells Bobby to lie still that his Maddy is a nurse in training and she will fix him right up. Maddy tells Bobby though if it was not for William she would have turned him into the cops and Bobby thanks William for his help. Even William though tells Bobby he does not know why he saved him just that Bobby reminds him of William’s younger brother Georgie who was killed a couple of months back in the war. William says that he enlisted but the army would not take him because of his heart murmur. William starts to get depressed and he wonders why his little brother had to die and not him. Maddy tries to comfort him and Bobby decides that it would be best if he just left and to take his radio (the bounce-box) with him. William says that he knows Bobby is in trouble and he wants to help him any way he can. Bobby tells them he does not think anyone can help him and he feels so scared. Maddy even begs Bobby to stay telling him that for some reason she to feels the need to help him. Bobby fights the need to run into the seventeen-year-old Madelaine Bass, arms and cry “Mom get me out of this nightmare”. Bobby and his parents then sit down and discuss their dreams and their fears for hours and Bobby comes to the realization that these two people are not just his parents but their flesh and blood humans to. As morning comes Bobby feels a dam of emotions open up and he knows now that he loves these two people more than anything.
Just then Bobby looks out of the window to see Kali and her army riding their flying spiders coming closer to the building he is in. Bobby transforms into Iceman and erects a shield just in enough time to save him and his parents because Kali comes crashing through the apartment wall. Iceman encases Kali in shackles of ice and tries to remove her from the building in order to protect his parents. While he is doing this though he realizes that these people are not after him, they’re after Marge and he wonders who Marge is and where she could be. Kali tells Iceman that she does not know if he is the one she seeks but no matter Kali will destroy him. Just then the flying spider Kali was riding on shoots a laser beam from its harness destroying the shackles Iceman had holding Kali.
(England, 1892)
Margaret (Marge) is watching with her family all that is transpiring in 1942 and sees Bobby in trouble. Her family tells her she needs to do something or Iceman will die but she keeps saying she can not help him.
(New York, 1942)
William is telling Maddy that Bobby just saved their lives by luring Kali away and he has to find some way to help Iceman. Maddy tells William that they do not even know what Bobby turned into but both assume it has to be something to do with the war. William finds Iceman’s bounce-box on the floor and assumes it must be some kind of weapon and he heads off to give it to Iceman. Maddy begs him not to go but he does anyway.
Iceman is fighting Kali on the streets of New York and Iceman is telling Kali he does not know why she is after Marge or where she is. Iceman thinks to himself though that the bounce-box sent him back to 1942 because when he was touching it he wanted to see his parents when they were his age. As Iceman’s attention is distracted Kali is able to sneak up and capture Iceman in her four arms. Though once she grabs him, she is able to sense that he is human and “not one of her creations“. She says if he tells her where Marge is she will spare his life. Just then William runs in and brings the bounce-box to Iceman. Kali though realizing William has the box, sends her army after him and they swoop down and pick him up, but William not wanting them to get the box drops it to the ground breaking it. The troops get mad at him and throw him into the side of a building. As the troops pick William up ready to throw him against the wall once more, Iceman breaks free of Kali’s grasp and puts the army on ice, swooping down to save his father. In the sky above Kali, Marge’s face appears calling Kali an “idiot” and telling her to step through the doorway Marge had just created and come after her and leave Bobby alone. Which without hesitation Kali and her minions fly into the doorway after Marge.
Bobby holds his father in his lap, as William is having delusions calling Bobby George and telling him to take care of Maddy. William asks Maddy to hold his hand and William dies in her arms. Maddy cries saying how all this is Bobby’s fault and how her and William were going to get married. Bobby thinks to himself of how impossible it is for all this to happen because in 1944 William and Maddy were supposed to get married. In 1959 Bobby was supposed to be born but if all that never happened that means Bobby was never born. As Bobby fades into black he thinks all these things, and then Bobby himself is no more.

Quicksand !
(Life passing before Bobby’s eyes)
There is a black void and then there is a star. Bobby remembers an old Perry Como song that he used to hear played on one of his dad’s favorite shows when Iceman was a kid. Then Bobby notices that the star is him, but he thinks if that is him how can he be watching himself fall.
Iceman is next seen still big but in a babies crib crying. His younger version of his father and mother are watching him in the crib saying how he is cute, but he cries a lot. Iceman is still able to think mature in his mind but all his words come out as goo-goo-gaa-gaa. Iceman’s mom takes him out of the crib and begins dancing with him and Iceman remembers how he used to love dancing with his mom. Although as they dance William tries to get Maddy’s attention and tell her that their baby resembles an ice cube. When Maddy notices the difference Iceman has started to take on the size and shape of a baby and he accidentally turns his mom into an ice-statue. William scolds Iceman for being such a bad boy and tells him “You had better go to school now and become an accountant… or your mother will really be upset.”
Then Iceman transforms back into Bobby but he has only grown to be a young child now and as he runs off. Bobby runs into Charles Xavier who asks if Bobby will let him ride on his back and let Bobby take him to the Xavier Institute. Which Bobby says that his parents want him to become an accountant then Xavier says “Aw, whadda they know?” Then as Bobby is carrying Xavier on his back someone shoots Xavier and Bobby wonders why someone would want to shoot a nice “bald” man.
Then, Bobby now back in his ice-form is transported to a time when he ran with the original X-Men. They talk about since all of them are freaks none of them will ever be accountants. Iceman notices Jean Grey among the team, and suddenly he finds himself as Bobby again, the adult, in his parents arms with them telling him if he stays a hero he would die like Jean Grey. So he should become an accountant but then a strange hand pulls him from his parents and Bobby looks up to notice it is the Champion Hercules’ hand.
Angel is telling Bobby that hero life is what Bobby is cut out for, but Bobby is not paying attention he is looking behind Hercules to notice Darkstar, and Bobby tells her he loves her. Then Darkstar tells Bobby she does not love him because he is an accountant. Next scene Bobby’s parents are standing over him as he sits at a college desk studying to become an accountant. Bobby wonders why he is so bored to tears and he starts to cry.
He cries so much it becomes a river and sweeps him away but the Valkyrie swoops down and saves him and as Bobby screams he is not ready for super hero life again Val drops him infront of the Defenders. Now in his ice-form Iceman finally realizes someone is playing a game with him and he screams to whomever is doing this to stop. Then the Beast kicks Iceman out of the Defenders and Bobby likes it because he says he does not want to make decisions any more if he is dead he just wants to succumb to the “Oblivion”.
(present)
Bobby finds himself lying in front of Oblivion as he welcomes Bobby to his realm and Bobby’s new home. Oblivion tells Bobby that he brought him to his realm to dissect his brain and glean some of his past memories.
(recap of last issues)
Oblivion then makes Bobby remember the past couple of days. How he felt that none of his parents understood him but the lovely Marge from next door did, and he thought things were going so good. Then the Idiot and White Light showed up and ruined everything. Then Marge left to a different time and Bobby found a bounce-box that accidentally teleported him to 1942. Then he thinks “oh no!” his father died by Kali’s hands and now that means Bobby never exists.
(present)
Oblivion explains why he keeps Bobby in his realm rather than let him go to the nothing that he is. Oblivion unlike the other Gods Love, War, Eternity, and etc. can not feel any emotion. So he created this realm and his servants to help him learn how it is like to have emotions but he says he craved for someone to be closer to himself. So he reached into himself and drew a small piece of himself to become his daughter. Though he admits that even his daughter would not listen to him and she ran away. Oblivion says he wanted to go after her but he could not because, he explains, if Oblivion ever visited the realm of mortals than cataclysmic events would occur killing a lot of people. Bobby then figures out it was Oblivion that sent all those “savages” to hunt down Marge. Oblivion then shows Bobby his greatest warrior Kali lying on the ground near death with her horns ripped off. Bobby asks Oblivion if Marge has the power to do that? Oblivion tells Bobby that Marge’s power is becoming to strong and Oblivion must find her and bring her to him before she becomes stronger then even he is, and she destroys even him.
Oblivion then transports Bobby to a world that Marge now has created for him and her to live in peacefully. Bobby walks down the streets and notices there is no prejudice, no one steals, and everyone waves and smiles so nicely. Walter Smith, Marge’s brother, finds Bobby and tells him how Marge will explain everything and how she is going to be so happy to see Bobby. Walter drags Bobby to the house they’re now living in and Marge rushes to hug Bobby. They all sit down to the kitchen table to eat and Walter says grace. Later that night Bobby and Marge sit on the porch together and Bobby tries to get her to confess about Oblivion. Marge tells Bobby not to worry about him as they are out of Oblivion’s reach. In this realm he can’t hurt them. She took care of Kali and she will take care of Oblivion also. Bobby who is so confused says he does not know whether he is still alive because he knows his father died in 1942. Bobby tells her that he thinks in his heart though that everything would be better if Marge would just go back to Oblivion. Just then Marge’s pretend family is behind her and they tell her that Bobby is right and that she should go back to Oblivion. Marge gets mad and tells them that if they want do as she says she will destroy them and fire comes from her hands and her family disappears into non existence. Marge then turns around to Bobby and tells him that she created them and this whole town from herself for him and for her, so they could be happy. She continues that if he would try to take her back to Oblivion she will make it all disappear, and then she does make it all go away.
Bobby then turns into his ice-form and tells her that she is just like her father. Which infuriates her and she tells him Oblivion is evil and she is not and if he does not like her she will make Iceman disappear to. Iceman, who at this point he thinks to himself, has had enough of Marge and Oblivion’s games. He tells her that if he has to he will stop her madness. Marge then grows taller and taller and tells Iceman “you DARE speak of power TO ME? To MIRAGE the daughter of Oblivion?!” Then Mirage tries to take Iceman out of existence but Iceman realizes since he is still flesh and blood Mirage can not do that and in the end his will beats her. Mirage shrinks to her normal size and she begs Iceman to help her because her power is trying to consume her. Yet suddenly, Mirage starts to think that it is Bobby’s fault that she is losing control of her powers and she threatens to kill Bobby. Iceman then creates an ice-tower underneath him to raise him high in the air to get away from her. Mirage destroys the tower-sending Iceman flying and while he falls he creates an ice-sphere around his body because he realizes she might not be able to unthink him, but she could kill him and not even Oblivion can bring Bobby back from death. Mirage destroys the sphere telling Iceman that he deserves the pain because he had given her hope of a life together and now he has taken it away. Iceman then thinks of his father and how if he can only get her to go to Oblivion then he might fix the damage done to the timeline and his father be alive again. Iceman shoots her with a wave of ice knocking her off her feet. Then he thinks one more strike should do it and he begs her to go freely to Oblivion. She then gets mad and summons a wave of fire and sends it at Iceman knocking him out. Mirage then comes to her senses; realizing she almost killed Bobby she drops to her knees screaming to Oblivion that it is all his fault and now it is time to test her power against her father and destroy him.
Oblivion then causes Mirage and Bobby to appear infront of him saying that her desire to come home allowed him to bring her back. Then he tells her that Oblivion will not be the one to pay but his run away daughter that will “pay the price”.

The Price You Pay !
In Oblivion’s realm a servant is being whipped by one of Oblivion’s slave masters. Oblivion comments on who he himself is and why he created his daughter and he tells Mirage that “betrayal has a price”. Mirage tells Oblivion that he is a monster and she ran away from him to live her own life and she does not want anything to do with him. Oblivion answers her that she should not speak to him so, because she is not only his daughter but since she was created from the best part of him she is also him. Mirage calls him a liar that she would not come from a person so dark and void of feelings. Oblivion explains to her that why would he create a place of light and joy when his whole life is for destruction and darkness. Then he asks why she “insists on hurting” him so. Bobby thinks to himself that Oblivion is trying to put the same guilt trip on her as his parents try to put on him.
(recap of last issues)
Bobby remembers how all this got started with the fight he had with his dad at his retirement party. The strange box he found that transported him to 1942 where he watched Kali kill his father. Then he remembers Oblivion sending him to find Marge and her turning on him and her becoming Mirage.
(present)
While he thinks of all this Iceman gets madder and madder until he decides to take it out on Oblivion. Iceman thinks out loud that it was probably Oblivion that’s caused his life such pain and he attacks Oblivion with everything he has got. Iceman forms a shell around Oblivion trying to seal him in. Oblivion then breaks free and asks Iceman how he thinks he can fight Oblivion because he is everything; from Iceman to his daughter Marge to White Light and the Idiot, into whom he now transforms. Iceman tells him “No” that he might have been drawn to Oblivion’s realm because since his father died in the past he never lived, but he has dreams and that is what makes him alive. Iceman then creates a giant ice ax and slices the two villains in two. Oblivion then transforms into Kali and tells Iceman that no matter their creator in the end they all belong to Oblivion. Mirage watches all of what is going on and seems to get scared not for Iceman but for Oblivion. Oblivion/Kali tells Iceman that universes are created and destroyed through his gapping maw. Iceman screams “NO” and fires a barrage of ice at Oblivion/Kali knocking him back and transforming him back to Oblivion. Oblivion grabs Iceman in his hands and tries to squeeze the life from Iceman. Iceman then fights back causing Oblivion’s hands to open saying how his parents did not break their backs for anything and he did not stand for social injustice for anything. Also that everything in life has meant something, and Oblivion or no one will take that from him. Iceman then calls down an ice avalanche to destroy Oblivion and bury him in it.
Mirage seeing her father’s defeat turns into a look-a-like of Oblivion’s appearance and asks Iceman what he has done to her father. Iceman begs Mirage not to accept Oblivion but she picks Oblivion up and she tells Oblivion that she loves him. Iceman though is confused thinking that Marge loved him not Oblivion. Mirage tells Bobby that she can read his thoughts and she knows how he feels. The feelings though she says that Marge had for him were only a shadow of the feelings she has for her creator and she did not realize it till Bobby almost killed Oblivion. Then Mirage tells Bobby to just give up and go to the Oblivion and forget everything. As Oblivion picks Bobby up to swallow him, Oblivion wonders why he still feels so empty even after his triumph. He still feels jealous because Bobby has known love and Oblivion still does not know how it feels. Bobby thinks, of only wanting to feel peace as Oblivion swallows him and Bobby goes to being nothing.
Oblivion then thinks that now he must dissolve this reality and turn to nothing himself. A voice comes from inside of Oblivion, it is Bobby fighting his way out. Bobby tells Oblivion that he almost won until Bobby remembered the promise that Oblivion made him. That Oblivion would turn everything right again if Bobby would bring Mirage back to him. Iceman tells Oblivion as he is trying to come back from the void that Iceman has found one thing Oblivion could not keep down and that’s love and no matter how long it takes him he will free himself “FOR LOVE !!”
After Iceman pops out of Oblivion’s mouth Mirage grabs Iceman and tells Oblivion if Iceman hurt him, she would kill Iceman. Oblivion stops her and tells Iceman that thanks to him in that last bit of struggle he had felt something he had never felt before and it was “love”. Oblivion comments on how that in the beginning he thought a God knew everything but in the end he found that even a God can learn.
Oblivion sends Iceman back through the timestream but as he leaves he hears Oblivion explain to him that William in one reality will always be dead in 1942. Though time can be dammed up like a river and in another reality he can stop him from going into the past and make his life just like it was. Oblivion says though which reality is the true one - who knows “in a universe of dreams”. Oblivion then turns to Mirage after Iceman is gone and calls her his “daughter”, his “sister”, his “mate” and asks her to “dance one last dance in the world of forms”. Then Mirage and Oblivion merge together and return to the void they once were.
Iceman appears back in his parent’s house at the exact moment he left (in issue #2) to 1942. Iceman believes that time in Oblivion’s realm must past faster than time in the real world. He runs down the stairs to check to see if his father is alive. When Bobby sees his parents he rushes them and hugs them. They are shocked because in their time they had just got finished arguing with him. William Drake asks Bobby if he is drunk and Maddy tells William that he should know he does not drink. Bobby asks for his parent’s forgiveness and that he knows that they tried to give him the most love they could. William Drake says that Bobby is making him feel guilty and Bobby tells William not to feel guilty about showing him love. Iceman walks outside talking to his parents and telling them he is not going to quit college. His parents ask Bobby what had happened tonight and Bobby tells them he does not feel like he should talk to them about it.
Two strange shadows appear behind Iceman and he worries that it might be Oblivion toying with him again. As he turns around though he sees the Beast and Angel telling him they need his help and the three mutants head off to help. Bobby’s parents watch him fly off and they tell him to make them “proud”.

Untitled
The Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach, Central Park, New York City:Bobby “Iceman” Drake sits in his room, laptop open, he stares at a dating site called “Single Not Stirred.” 'Latte? Check. Clear mind? Check. World-ending disasters on hold, at bay, or handled by someone else? Check. Time to do something for me...' Bobby muses. He starts to tap away at the laptop, and writes some words into his profile: “Hey guys, I'm Bobby, and I'm -” but he doesn't get any further than that.
'Well, people say I'm x-tra hilarious. I'm an X-Man. One of the originals, actually' Bobby describes himself as he slides along on an ice-slide within the Danger Room, wearing his black and red costume. He grins as he looks up at his opponent, who he describes as the time-displaced young version of him, here in the present. 'He's a cool guy. But not as cool as me..
The younger Bobby, who is in his fully iced snowman-like form fires some ice shards towards the present Bobby, who fires a large piece of ice back, which splats into the younger Bobby. 'C'mon, show me what an Omega Mutant can do!' Bobby challenges his past self, who recovers, and speeds along on an ice-slide near the present Bobby. 'Looking to steal some fresh moves from the youth, old me?' the younger Bobby asks. 'Stop calling me that' Bobby tells him. 'I'm Bobby. Not Robert. Not Bob. I'd go by “Bobert” for the right guy, tho!' Bobby decides as his past self fires some more ice shards towards him.
'Yow!' Bobby exclaims as one of the ice-shards strikes his shoulder. The younger Bobby jumps onto the ground, while the older Bobby's ice-slide comes to a stop, and he looks down at his past self who calls out 'Come at me – I triple dog dare you!' Bobby holds his shoulder as he drops onto the snow-covered ground.
'If we're being honest, this is my first time on a dating website, much less one for dating guys and I'm a little nervous because I have no clue where to start' Bobby admits. 'C'mon, make your move!' the younger Bobby shouts as he throws up an ice-wall between the two of them. 'Please. You're on thin ice!' Bobby calls up as he creates an ice-slide and rides it up and over the wall. 'Dad joke!' the younger Bobby exclaims, before Bobby drops down on him, grabbing his shoulder, he flips behind him, and smacks him in the back with an ice-bat. 'I'm really good at my job – as both a teacher and... trainer' Bobby decides.
'I win!' Bobby calls out as he encases his past self in a thick block of ice. The younger Bobby scowls and Bobby tells him 'I guess I'd still be a winner if you had gotten me... but past tense?' Bobby suggests. 'Does that make me future tense? Present tense. Now Im just tense' Bobby jokes. The past Bobby breaks out of the block of ice and exclaims that it isn't his fault he hasn't learned martial arts yet. 'Well, you better shape up, then. Clock's a-tickin!' Bobby tells him. The younger Bobby switches to his human form and they walk together as they leave the Danger Room. 'Yeah, right! I've fought Goblin Queens just as many times as you now! I think...' the younger Bobby exclaims, brushing some ice off of himself. 'Fine, you get credit for one epic lick' Bobby tells his younger self. 'Several licks! If I didn't make that stupid ice wall, I would've won... hey bro' the younger Bobby smiles at Romeo, his Inhuman boyfriend. 'Sup, dude' Romeo replies, taking his boyfriend by the hand.
'Date night?' Bobby asks them. 'Date life. Not being star-crossed rules!' the younger Bobby exclaims. The older Bobby suggests that it might be time Romeo changed his name to “Reliable-eo” or something. 'I'm making you a dad joke jar' the younger Bobby tells his older self, before asking him if he wants to come with, even though they already have tickets, hopefully no one has bought the seats next to them.
'I'd like to say that I have a romantic side, finding the right guy to show it off to... that's taking more time than I expected' Bobby decides. 'You can get reserved seats now?' Bobby asks, before remarking that he can't think of anything less appealing than being third wheel to mini-me's movie date. 'Wait, no... the only thing worse would be if it was a Pauly Shore movie' Bobby realizes. 'Who's Pauly Shore?' his past-self asks as he and Romeo walk away. 'I'll tell you when you're older' Romeo replies, before calling out 'We'll talk to you later, Grandpa Bobby. Night!' Bobby waves at them and tells them not to send pics.
Bobby looks at photographs along the corridor wall. One of Wolverine, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Jean Grey, Cyclops and Storm drinking out of milkshake glasses, and he poking his head up at the front of the table. Another of Bobby at the front of a photo with his original teammates, behind him. Bobby decides that his friends would say he is a team player, and that his friends are also his family, they would agree with that. Suddenly, his cellphone pings as he gets a message. Bobby reads the message and goes wide-eyed – it's from his mother, who informs him that there is nothing to be alarmed about, but that his father had a heart attack scare and is resting at Midtown Presbyterian Hospital. Bobby races down the corridor.
'DAD!' Bobby exclaims as he bursts open the door to the room where William Drake is resting at the hospital. 'Bobby, you scared us' Madeline tells her son as she sits at her husband's side. Bobby looks at his parents and thinks that his friends are his family, and his family, well, they don't quite get him. 'But who does?' he wonders. 'At least he didn't slide in through the window' William mutters. 'I do what I can' Bobby remarks as he hugs his mother, asking her what happened to his father. 'It's nothing. Just periocard – periocard -' William begins. 'Periocarditis' Madeline announces, informing Bobby that his father had an infection around his heart, and the doctors don't know what caused it. Madeline then tells William that this is the last time they listen to his sister, making them come all the way to this hospital. 'And for years, I've been saying “You're gonna work yourself to death” and look – I was right' Madeline adds. William explains that it felt like a damn heart attack. Madeline stands up and tells Bobby that his father is all right now, he just needs to rest and take lots of ibuprofen. 'I'm glad to hear it' Bobby tells his parents.
Bobby suggests that he is here now, so his parents can catch him up on all things good in the world of Long Island. 'You missed your mother's birthday' William frowns. 'Crud. I think that happened when I was literally saving a friend from Apocalypse. I can have an edible arrangement here in no time...' Bobby replies. William tells Bobby not to worry about it and suggests he get his mother a gift certificate to Bed & Bathworks, as she spends more time there than the new place. 'That reminds me – I forgot to return those curtain rods' Madeline remarks. 'Wait. “New place”?' Bobby asks. Madeline informs him that it was too big. 'And the neighborhood was getting... you know' she adds. 'And no one cared to tell me about this casual, life-changing decision?' Bobby asks. William tells Bobby that they are just one more stop on the LIRR and not to worry, as they put all his things in the new garage. 'I'll dispatch the X-Force to pick up all my stuff, thanks' Bobby jokes. 'Don't be a smart aleck. Ladies wont be able to tell when you're being serious or not' Madeline snaps, before asking Bobby if he has any new girlfriends. 'What ever happened with the green-haired one?' she asks.
Bobby rubs his head and starts to say 'Oh, things are complicated as usual... so much so that -' but he gets interrupted when there is a loud crashing sound. Bobby turns to the door, and asks his parents if they heard that. 'Sounded like -' he begins, but his parents, who are now holding each other, look concerned, and William tells Bobby that he doesn't have to make every fight his. 'You know I do, Dad... it's what I do' Bobby declares.
A woman runs down a hospital corridor, past hospital staff who just look at her as she shouts 'Somebody please! He's coming after me!' She exclaims that she wasn't doing anything, just showing some friends a trick – an instant later, she is knocked to the floor by a blast which strikes her in the back. 'There is nowhere left to run, abomination' an armed Purifier declares as he stands over the woman. 'Sanctuary! Sanctuary!' the woman calls out. 'Sanctuary is for churches, not hospitals, kid... but in your case, I'll make an exception' Iceman announces as he appears in the corridor in ice-form with large ice-spikes sticking out hid arms, shoulders and legs. 'Lemme ice this Purifier dude real quick, then we'll get you checked out -' Iceman begins, before the Purifier fires a weapon at him. Reducing his form to regular size, Bobby throws up an ice-shield, but the Purifier gets through it and slams his fist into Bobby's stomach. 'Two mutants!' the Purifier shouts. 'That little rat girl was supposed to be my saving grace...a sign of faith to show my allegiance, but lo – now I have two of your kind!' the Purifier declares as he takes another swipe at Bobby, a large spike sticking out of the gauntlet on his arm, which Bobby narrowly dodges.
'These dudes are whack-jobs. Run with the crowd and get off this floor!' Bobby tells the mutant woman as he covers the floor in ice. Ice-spikes suddenly rise from the ice-covered floor, but the Purifier is not harmed, and boasts that his suit was built to withstand Iceboy's parlor tricks. 'IceBOY?' Bobby exclaims, while the mutant woman runs with the hospital staff, 'Please don't die 'cuz of me...' she mutters, while one of the staff announces that the exit is down the hall. 'You don't even know who I am?' Bobby asks as he slams a large ice-spade against the Purifier, who suddenly grabs Bobby by his neck and tells him that he is an abomination. The Purifier holds a large metal spike to Bobby's face and tells him to stay still and that he will make this real quick. 'Ugh, your breath is heinous!' Bobby exclaims as he releases a ice-pulse, knocking the Purifier backwards. With the Purifier distracted, Bobby uses this as a chance to escape through another  door, then turns back to it and covers it in his, sealing it shut. Bobby sees a man crouched nearby, possibly a doctor, and goes over to him, telling him to come with him, and promises him that he won't die. 'Pinky promise' Bobby adds.
Soon, there is an explosion, shattering the ice that covers the door. 'This game is over!' the Purifier shouts as he walks through the ice surrounding the corridor. From behind another door, Bobby can be heard: 'I'm in here, Terminator. Before our final standoff, let the civilians go!' He informs the Purifier that there are two doctors – live savers – in here. 'Please, they didn't do anything...' Bobby begins. The Purifier tells him to beg all he wants, but that nothing will change the judgment that awaits those they need to cleanse from this Earth. 'The Purifiers will persevere!' the Purifier shouts as he kicks the door down, and sees Iceman standing in the next room. The Purifier immediately opens fire, blasting iceman apart, while a doctor cowers nearby.
'The Lord has looked finely upon me today... I nabbed my first mutant! Once I find that little girl, I will be doubly righteous!' the Purifier boasts. 'Noobs always fall for the ice decoy trick' a voice from the shadows calls out, as Iceman steps forward and punches the Purifier through the air. 'Listen, I'm the guy who fought Magneto every time  he was a bad guy!' Iceman declares, before encasing the Purifier in a block of ice, and exclaims that hr went toe-to-toe with the White Queen and got buffer for it. 'I'm frickin' ICEMAN, bozo!' Bobby shouts as he slams the ice-block against the wall, breaking it apart. 'Learn your X-Men' he suggests to the Purifier, standing over him and covering him in ice again.
Shortly, Bobby walks with the mutant woman down a corridor, and the mutant asks him if that is what it is like being an X-Man – mad endorphins and arse-kicking all the time? Bobby explains to her that there is also lots of bad, sad fights 'It feels like decades of the latter, to be honest' Bobby adds. 'Whatever, you're still so cool!' the mutant exclaims. She grins and declares 'This is so bomb – a real-life X-Man saved my life! My Mum's gonna go mental' and adds that it makes having her cruddy power almost worth it. Bobby smiles and tells the young woman to let him be the judge of that which makes her mutant. 'Please don't have bone-growing power' he remarks. 'You're gonna LOL, I swear' the woman replies before she spits into her hand, and it forms a solid spike. 'That's what it does. Gets solid. I can do tricks 'n' stuff, but it's pointless' the woman tells Bobby. Bobby addresses the woman as Michaela and tells her not to be too hard on herself, and reveals that when he first got his powers, all he could do was throw slushies at people. 'You never know how far your powers can take you if you believe in yourself, okay?'
Soon, Bobby walks back into the room where his father is still resting. 'The Iceman cometh and the Iceman slayeth!' he jokes. Madeline asks her son if he killed anyone, and holding the television remote, William declares that it is already on NY1. Madeline gazes out the window as Bobby tells her that he didn't kill anyone. 'I'm the hero, remember?' he exclaims. 'Well, things happen whenever you become a mutant' Madeline replies. 'I'm always a mutant' Bobby declares. William addresses Madeline as “Maddie” and tells her that they are going to figure out Bobby was here for them. Madeline looks at Bobby and asks him if he could possibly leave, and tells him that his father shouldn't be dealing with any additional stress, and that there are more news vans piling up outside.
'Yeah... I'll go' Bobby replies, hanging his head. Madeline sits back at William's side, and tells Bobby that they love him. 'Same' Bobby replies, before turning and walks out of the room and telling his parents that maybe he can come and see this new house they have told him so much about. 'Don't hold your breath on that one, Maddie' William remarks, and soon, Bobby walks out of the hospital.
Standing outside at the entrance to the hospital, Bobby mockingly remarks 'What's that, Mom? Yes, I did save the world a bunch this summer. But it's always worth it knowing you and Dad are safe in Long Island, rooting for your boy. Oh, Dad – seriously, that would be awesome if I could bring my new boyfriend to Thanksgiving! Cross your eyes, nose and toes we're not stuck in a hell dimension or fighting Mr Sinister. You two are the most awesome and understanding parents a boy can conjure up on a Friday night walking alone in Manhattan without plans...'
Bobby pulls out his mobile phone, and the dating website once again asks him to describe himself in 500 words or less. He stares at his phone and snow starts to fall from above. 'Y'know what...' Bobby remarks, before completing the dating site request with -\_(''~)_/- a smiley-face shrugging emoji.

Untitled
The Xavier Institute, third period. Bobby “Iceman” Drake stands up from behind the desk where he has been teaching a group of students including Nature Girl, Glob Anole and Ernst, and informs them that class is dismissed, as it is X-Men O'clock for him.
Bobby rushes down a corridor, 'Privyet, Bobby -' Piotr Rasputin a.k.a. Colossus calls out to Bobby, who runs past him. Quoting the White Rabbit, Bobby calls back 'I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!' as he removes his sweater. Bobby slides out of the mansion and past several students who are outside. 'No time to say hello, goodbye. I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!' Bobby exclaims, now wearing his red and black costume. Bobby sees Ororo “Storm” Munroe sitting on a park bench. 'Ororo-row your boat! You're not co-captaining this extraction mission?' Bobby asks. Storm waves at Bobby and informs him that she isn't on this assignment, but that she will keep an eye on the skies for a smooth trip.
Bobby climbs off the ice-slide and runs towards the Blackbird jet that is waiting nearby. 'Oh man, are they putting me in a jet with Old Man Logan? He's on every mission...' Bobby mutters.
He enters the jet and calls out 'Okay dude, first things first, no smoking in the main cabin -' but the person in the chair at the controls spins around: 'Boo' Kitty Pryde grins. Bobby frowns, 'Oh. Hey, Kitty. Four hours in a jet with my favorite ex-girlfriend. Yaaaay'. Bobby sits down next to Kitty who tells him that it should be a smooth ride. 'I keep hearing that' Bobby replies.
Soon, the Blackbird streaks through the skies, the sun glows down on the jet, as inside, Bobby tells Kitty 'So what you're trying to say is... I'm funnier, but not cuter, than Star-Lord. Cool'. Bobby and Kitty fall silent. Bobby breaks the silence by turning to Kitty and pointing out that they really haven't seen each other since she got back from space. Bobby adds that he is feeling really good about the current team formation. 'And Central Park – awrite!' he jokes. Kitty laughs, and remarks that it has been hectic out of the gate, but that she knows they are doing it right this time, she just needs the world to believe in the X-Men's optimism. She then tells Bobby that she has been hoping to have this alone time with him to talk. Bobby glances away and asks Kitty to catch him up on this kid first, and points out that they are getting closer to the All*Store where he is holed up at.
Suddenly, the jet goes out of control, it rumbles and Bobby exclaims 'What the – fine. I don't need to know'. 'This isn't me!' Kitty calls out, as she suddenly falls forward and phases into the control panel. 'I'm not phasing on purpose!' Kitty announces. Smoke billows from the jet as it free-falls to the large store below. Bobby informs Kitty that the best idea he has right now is to slide them down. 'Please, by all means' Kitty tells him. She adds that she can't tell if they are screwed on a turbine-level, or what, and all she can do is steer where they are falling. Bobby moves to the hatch, which he slides open and mutters 'Couldn't have snuck in one physics class when I was studying accounting...' before he shifts to ice-form and leaps from the jet: 'HERE WE GO!' he shouts as he free-falls, then creates a huge ice-slide. 'Dear West Covina – ice to meet you' Bobby jokes. 'I deserve to die for that one' he tells himself, as the Blackbird lands on the ice-sled and slides towards the rooftop of the All*Store, where Bobby has joined the ice-slide. 'Not exactly a fluffy pillow, but this'll do' Bobby remarks as he creates a wall of ice which the Blackbird crashes into, then comes to a stop.
'You think quicker on your feet than Star-Lord. I'll give you that' Kitty remarks as she emerges from the Blackbird. Hands on his hips, Bobby smiles and asks Kitty if she thinks anybody saw that. 'And if someone saw... did it look rad?' he adds.
Bobby and Kitty enter the darkened All*Store, and Kitty informs Bobby that she knew the mutant was able to pulsate amplifications on various wavelengths, but the reports coming in were small incidents. Kitty explains that, right now, the mutant is like steroids for machines, and the altitude should have protected them, so something must be agitating him. 'Well, from the outside looking in, he seems like he's a gifted youngster at interior design... for horror movies' Bobby jokes as he looks at a lampshade with a shattered lightbulb. Kitty tells Bobby that now is not the time to make one of those stupid jokes under his breath. 'This kid could be scared, everyone's  turned against him and he's hiding in fear -' Kitty begins, as Bobby interrupts her, pointing, he tells Kitty that, maybe just this once, she is right.
'Looks like he's getting the “Frankenstein Welcome”' Bobby tells Kitty, as they see where a mob has gathered in an open space within the large store. 'You ruined my phone!' one of them shouts, waving a golf club. 'My TV exploded right when Olivia was gonna kiss Fitz!' another exclaims. 'It's not my fault! I don't know how to turn it off!' a young man with dark hair tells the mob that have backed him up against a display of microwaves. He tells the mob that he won't bother any of them, that he can live off this store forever and won't be anyone's problem. 'Somebody hold him down!' the civilian with the golf club exclaims.
Suddenly, Kitty comes between the mob and the young mutant, 'STOP!' she shouts at them, explaining that he doesn't know how to control what is going on inside, and they are all making it worse.
'It's Zachary, right?' Kitty asks, turning to the young mutant. She informs him that they are the X-Men, and that his mutant powers are beginning to emerge. She informs Zachary that they would like to help him, and suggests they talk to his family about bringing him to the Xavier Institute.
'We're making it worse!?' one of the mob asks, revealing that Zachary caused a pileup yesterday and nearly killed his daughter. 'Are you going to pay for my car repairs? My kid's hospital bills?' he asks.
“Family?” Zachary exclaims. 'My moms, my church, my friends – this is how they all treat me now' Zachary calls out, his powers causing the microwaves behind him to explode.
A woman shakes her fist and declares 'He'll destroy the entire city if we let them have their way!' Kitty begins to tell the mob that she understands how they could be feeling right now. 'Go back to your big city -' one of the mob tells her. 'Let us handle this problem on our own' another suggests. 'Okay, you're all getting a little too close for my comfort' Kitty remarks as the mob moves in closer to her, and she phases through one of them. 'Did you see that – she's going to make him ghost away!' one of the mob exclaims. 'I think it's safe to say  that everyone needs to cool down, chill out...' Bobby begins as he stands between the young mutant and the mobster waving the golf club. 'YIKES!' Bobby calls out as he suddenly unleashes a large ice-wall between himself and the mob. 'I didn't mean to do that' Bobby frowns. Kitty is nearby, phasing through some boxes, she tells Bobby that it isn't just toasters and microwaves that Zachary puts on steroids – as she can't unphase.
The mob move around the wall and march towards Bobby, Kitty and Zachary. 'He's  starting his own mutant gang!' 'Okay, so Kitty is useless -' Bobby begins. 'I can still lead' Kitty snaps. 'I will most likely kill one of these people if I so much as try to throw a slushie at them' Bobby adds, and Kitty declares that they need to run. A hanging light suddenly falls and shatters next to Bobby. 'Preferably somewhere with less junk for him to amp' Kitty suggests. The three run down an aisle, and Zachary explains that the crowd must have followed him, as he could have made this his lair. 'That's squatting...' Kitty points out. Suddenly, some electronics that Zachary runs past explode and he is knocked to the ground. 'We warned you' one of the mob declares as he stands over Zachary and raises a iron pipe – which he swings down, but he doesn't strike Zachary, as Bobby leaps between them and takes the brunt of the blow on his back. Bobby recovers, and kicks the mobster in the face.
Kitty is several feet away, and announces that the warehouse is through the door she has found. She tells Bobby to hurry up, as they are catching up to her. The mob runs after Bobby, who helps Zachary and tells him that he really hopes he doesn't turn into a bad guy after all of this. Bobby then slams himself into the door, breaking it down, and pulling Zachary through to the warehouse with him. 'Over here!' the golf club waving mobster calls out as he leads the others towards the warehouse door. Before he can reach it, though, Bobby creates a huge ice-block, which covers the door and the walls around it. 'They're coming for Z like he's the Beatles, but that slush should keep the fan club at bay' Bobby announces. He returns to his human appearance and points out that they have a minute, so they should get their power situation sorted out before Kitty starts phasing into other dimensions.
'For a guy made of ice, you really know how to make every situation a hot mess' Kitty mutters. 'She's not talking to me, bro' Zachary declares, arms folded. 'Me? He's the one making everything haywire' Iceman points out. 'You went and made the call to do the ice wall instead of waiting for me -' Kitty points out. 'How was I supposed to know he makes our powers go boom?' Bobby asks. 'Is that your excuse for everything? “I didn't know”?' Kitty shouts. Bobby frowns and asks Kitty what she is really talking about. 'You said I was better on my feet than your ex – oh' Bobby mutters. Kitty frowns and tells Bobby that she had to find out he was gay from Goldballs. 'When do you think we would discuss it? Never?' she asks him. Kitty falls silent and folds her arms, while Bobby looks at her. '“You were in space” aside, I can't really place this whole “I'm gay” thing on my terms because there's a little time-displaced version of my running around with a model boyfriend' Bobby frowns, turning away from Kitty.
Bobby continues: 'Never mind having to save the world on the reggo – I haven't even had the time to tell my parents. So, yeah... I'm sorry I opted to avoid having a hard and exhausting conversation with you' Bobby tells Kitty, who quietly tells Bobby that she could have been there for him. Kitty reveals that when they broke up, she couldn't help but blame herself, wondering what she did wrong. Kitty adds that she is trained to look at every situation – dating, leading the X-Men and assume she left something in a deficit. The minute Goldballs told her, she went “Oh! He's gay. Okay”, and that was all it took to go from being an angry ex to a concerned friend. 'But you didn't talk to me, so I just felt rejected and left out of your process all over again' Kitty points out. 'Kitty...' Bobby begins as he turns to Kitty, but before he can say anything else, Zachary steps between them: 'You're gay, she's emo. Can you fools just get back to saving me!?'
Kitty clenches her fists as she declares 'I swear, if I could smack you right now!' to which Bobby shouts 'Light bulb!' and then slams a fist into Zachary, knocking him out. 'BOBBY!' Kitty exclaims. 'Whatever' Bobby tells Kitty, before asking her how many times she had been punched in the face before turning 18. 'Plus, he's kind of a brat and deserved it' Bobby adds, before asking Kitty to touch something. Kitty goes over and hugs the surprised Bobby. She then tells him that the jet is busted but that she will sort out their escape route, and asks Bobby if he can hold off the mob. 'Ninja, please' Bobby replies, before realizing quietly 'Weird... that actually applies'.
The mob has now broken through the large block of ice covering the door to the warehouse. 'No need to find any more shovels. We're in!' one of them shouts, before telling the others to spread out and find the muties. 'Yo, West Covina. Boo' Bobby calls out, flanked by his own mob of snow men. 'Snow golems – attack!' Bobby commands his constructs as they rush forward and slam into the mob who start to run for their lives. 'Ay – it's cold!' one of the mob exclaims.
Nearby, Kitty runs through the warehouse, phasing through boxes and other objects, 'If I were a getaway vehicle, where would I be...' she wonders, before coming across several trucks parked nearby. 'All-*Store, you really do have all of the things' Kitty jokes, before shoving her phased hand into the truck, which quickly revs up. 'Let's see Forge hotwire a truck this quickly...' Kitty remarks.
At that moment, the warehouse is flooded with snow, trapping the mob. 'Hashtag, chill vibes!' Bobby exclaims as he takes a selfie with one of the mob. 'Want me to tag you?' he asks the man, but gets no response. Bobby looks over and sees the truck. 'Oh snap! My ride's here!' he declares. Kitty opens the door, and Zachary is still unconscious, propped up next to her. 'Hey there, son... need a ride?' Kitty asks. Bobby turns to the mob and tells them not to worry, as he cringed when she said that. 'Bye, folks!' he then calls out, before Kitty drives the truck through a fence. The Blackbird can be seen on the rooftop and Bobby asks Kitty if someone else is going to come back for it. Kitty just tells him to shut up.
Later, Bobby is teaching another class. Quentin Quire can be seen sleeping at the back of the class, while Bling and Genesis are paying attention. Bobby has created a mini ice-slide and large ice-balls are rolling down it. He tells the class that his mom once told him that driving was not all about putting your foot on the gas, that a brick could have a license if that was the base – she always told him he needed to be about the brakes. 'Having an understanding of your abilities is what keeps a powerful mutant from becoming a weapon' Bobby explains. The bell sounds, and as the students get up to leave the class, Bobby tells them that, for future reference, only he gets to say when they can leave the class.
Kitty is standing in the doorway, and when Zach walks towards her, she stops him and tells him that she is only giving him another day before forcing him to call his mother. 'My moms isn't gonna give two figs where I am' Zachary replies, revealing that the last thing she ever said to him was “I love you, but I have no son”. Kitty explains to Zachary that parents end up being just as scared as the kids when their powers emerge, but at the end of the day, she is the only family he has got.
Bobby collects his things and smiles at Kitty: 'Doc Samson move over...there' a new therapist in town' he tells her. 'The line between love and hate really is blurred, Bobby' Kitty replies. Kitty then tells Bobby that she wanted to check and make sure he was okay. She adds that she might not be his go-to person for these sorts of things, but that she wanted to make sure he has someone. 'Believe it or not, your friends and family want more from you than cracking wise at inopportune moments' Kitty remarks.
'Plus, maybe half your jokes actually land' Kitty adds. 'Strength in numbers, baby' Bobby smiles. Kitty tells him that she means it – to talk to people, and suggests he start with his parents. She leaves Bobby alone in the classroom. He gets out his cellphone and leaves the room: 'Hi, Mom?' Bobby asks as he speaks into his cellphone. 'Wanna have your little boy over for dinner at the new place – what? No. How could this be a prank?'
