Bobby Drake was currently practicing his ice powers out in the long stretch of greenery. His fight with a brotherhood mutant was still fresh in his mind, not to mention the sitches lining his stomach. Shooting off ice from his palm he froze a plant into a spectacle of ice and beauty. Closing his eyes the ice snapped and freed the plant in an instant. Over the days he had been training his butt off, constantly pursuing anyone to help him.
Right now though he found himself alone and letting his thoughts stray. The air was taking on an unease and his posture straightened as he turned his body into ice. Someone was here...and he could not tell where. "Hello...who's there?" He asked feigning fear with courage...for the moment.

cable was doing recon for his plan. he had a to get every thing right every move had to be perfect. he watched as one of the young x men were training. with a thought he made the boy aware of him. It was clear he needed some help. "you know you need to practice not just you powers but your combat skills." No one knew who cable was he was being careful when he appeared but this boy needed help or he would die quicker than he needed to. "being able to put some thing on ice will only get you so far." he flated down his feet touching the ground his eye glowing brightly as he spoke.

Bobby practically jumped out of his skin as he heard the voice speak to him. I know I must be crazy, he thought, otherwise why would I be the only one to hear this voice? "I know that...I wouldn't have been put on the elite team if all I could do was freeze things." Bobby retorted as he spun on his heels looking to his left and right to discern the voice. Sure enough the voice continued and he felt agravation take over his body. "Enough talk...show yourself now." It couldn't be Magneto, the old mutant didn't have the ability to appear and stay out of seeing distance. Soon enough a guy fell to the ground, his eye glowing sending him back peddaling. "Huh...who are you? What is your purpose here?" Bobby kept his guard up and his hands turned to ice along with his arms.

" I am a friend well for now i am, Mr Drake. If i was a threat to you well lets say you be on the floor having you mind ripped out threw your ear." cable gestured showing both his hands and that he was unarmed. Not that he needed a weapon the x men were good but he was better his powers were growing stronger by the day. He heard every thought the world around. "I would think twice about calling for your team. i don't want any one to end up getting hurt. " HE was not wanting a fight it was to early for that sort of thing. " the question is not what i want but what you want."

Bobby raised a skeptical brow at the word 'friend' coming from a complete stranger. The guy had a alterior motive, what it was, well he still had to decipher it. Hearing the method of disabling him though, well, that was unorthodox and shrewd...but still effective as he felt his ice withdraw and his body remained perfectly still. He never once thought of calling the team out here; had he done so, he would be in trouble if any of them survived the battle. Watching him closely he was thrown off guard at his kindness and the way he never once showed a weapon of sorts. "Huh...now that doesn't make any sense. I am fine at the moment...I don't need anything. How did you pass security anyway?" Bobby was still on edge, but, he couldn't help but think over his question.

" Its a trick i have. your looking sore have a run in with some thing or some one?" cable laughed at him saying he was fine. "every one wants some thing. Its clear you are pushing your self and your powers. That's a good thing for whats going to happen but i dont think you will be ready in time for what is coming. This mess has just started. You are not ready and i fear it may cost you the life of a love one."

Bobby was stunned by the way he got to the point. It was indeed someone, and, if it were a something he would be hurting a lot more. His third relationship ended and he had got in a fight with a brotherhood mutant. The luck he was having was not something he would celebrate, hardly. The guy told him he was pushing himself, and, he would probably on the dot seeing how his fight with Xander had exhausted his powers a great deal. Hearing him talk more about what was to come he frowned. "Alright out with it, what is coming anyway? Your not aligned with Magneto are you? Also I have no loved ones...I'm single...not that you should know that."

"Bobby Darake aka iceman, i know more about you than you will ever know possible. No i am not with magneto i am on my own a third party in the mutant war. My goals are the same as Xavier's the only difference is i am willing to go a lot further than he ever will. I seen whats going to happen and i will stop it from happening no mater what it takes."
while he was talking cable was scanning several of the students the defenses were interesting. HE knew he could get threw them and was convinced his team had the skills to get in and out with out much problems> still he did not want to risk some one being killed unless they were on the list.

Bobby exhaled sharply as he heard the guy say his name. This guy wasn't lying when he said he knew a lot about him. Fact was, he had no loved ones, and, his family still couldn't grasp him being a mutant at all...especially his brother. The fact that he had goals running alongside Xavier was believeable, seeing how he was doing nothing but speaking rather then acting. Xavier had a philosophy about people who could be trusted, and, those who talked rather then acted on emotions or power were ones that were worth listening to. Bobby heard once again about the war and wondered when that would catapult to a disaster where all parties would be involved.
"What do you mean...no matter what it takes? And you still haven't introduced yourself? How am I supposed to believe everything you say at face value?" Bobby was trying to digest this as much as possible. Still, all of it sounded too...weird at best. Watching his eye glow he noticed him staring at several students. What is he up to?

"people call me cable. Thats good enough for you. As for what i am saying you have two choices you can believe me or not. The fact that i am not making you believe what i am saying and that is some thing that is simple to do. If you belive me you will start pushing your self more training harder than ever if you don't well what difference will it make? Things will still happen life is all about the choice we make and this is one of those moments."

Ok, well, at least I have his name, he thought. Still, the fact that I'm given two choices doesn't really give a latter or one that will likely lead to my death, but that choice is often silent. He speaks of training harder...how much training is he talking about? Every mutant has a breaking point, and well, I can do at least three barricades of ice before my power is exhausted. I suppose struggling to push to five will suffice in training on my end. "Let me ask you another question, why the concern about me? Better yet...why concern about this school in general? You speak of not being aligned with Magneto, and, judging your apperance your not part of us. So...when this war breaks out...what side are you going to be on?" Bobby folded his arms and looked at him. Sure he didn't voice the fact he would train harder; not needed, but he knew this guy knew his decision already. Is this guy from the future or something? It would explain the technology, but, he had never known a mutant capable of that.

"who said it was you i am interested in? after all it cause and effect this talk is the cause and its the effect the large picture i am looking at. The world is changing and with a well -placed hand it could change for the better. you have to remember that the world is not just you and every step we take changes people life. As for my side lets say i am on the side of the world. The brotherhood x men war is not what i am interested in, there is a larger threat than your silly little back yard brawl and well its going to take a lot to win this one. i just hope your team is ready and from what i seen there been no team training at all."
He had a plan to sort that out. the x-men had gotten lax and they needed a push once he had the key that would push them hard. they needed to work as i team but they were more intrested in there life than being what they are meant to be.

Bobby had little to say to what Cable had recited to him. It seemed like he had rehersed it in front of the bathroom mirror. Still, he was impressed, the guy had knowledge and he knew where to place it. The world was in a constant state of flux, so, nothing was as it seemed for too long. Technology with the way it was has been hurtling towards a day when Sentinels would roam the streets seeking out their kind and humans would be the masters of them. It was sad to agree to, but, he silently aknowledged the fact that they, as a team, had been quite comfortable of late. They weren't going on team missions, and, the brotherhood was always their prime aspect for the word...trouble. Right now they needed leadership more then anything else.
"I'll make sure we get some action done," Bobby said, knowing that he spoke for the new generation of X-Men coming into the picture late into the game. "Still, there hasn't been a lot to motivate us. The humans are still against us, rumors of Sentinels are flying around, and we haven't had a decent mission of grand size since Alcatraz. You have to admit, rebuilding one's life has to fit in the picture somewhere right?"
