Bobby had just finished the latest danger room scenario and felt a much needed break was in order. Wearing his X-Men uniform proudly on his sweaty body he ran a hand along his forehead and exhaled slowly. "If they keep amping up those robots, I'm not sure I'll make it through 3." Bobby remembered the day he had failed to stop lynx, and to this day he blamed himself for letting her go.
Looking on towards the great gate he walked over and looked outside. A large estate of rich greenery and lush scenery stretched out as far as his blue eyes could see. Though, what he heard was far different. It was the sound of wheels on dirt going fast and reckless. I wonder who that is, he thought walking onto a dirt path.

Xander was bored, not just that, he was way beyond comprehension as to why he was bored. Lately there had been little action in the brotherhood, and, he felt it was his duty to stir up trouble. Any X-Men that got in his way and he'd mess them up good. It was this place that made Lynx miserable, and, he intended to pay them a...unvited visit. Tearing down the dirt road he stared forward with the wind whipping through his medium length of brown hair. Seeing an X-Men coming to investigate his prayers had been answered, not that he prayed, but still lo and behold the center of attraction had arrived. Xander spun the wheel and stopped a few feet in front of the dumbfounded kid.
Hopping out of the car he activated his power feeling the heat claim his fists. "Hello, I have a message from you directly from the brotherhood. Care to answer? Too late." He swung his fist in a right hook sending it screaming towards the kid.

Bobby watched the car squeal to a stop in front of him and he didn't flinch. This guy had an attitude problem, not only that, his driving could've injured many without a care. He had a cocky attitude and his form was rather built, while his in comparison could not match him. He swayed his figure about with a mocking voice and his bright white teeth showed he cared about his appearance. It was only when his hands turned into flames that he realized this guy was a mutant. The Brotherhood had been quiet of late...and before he knew it his chin was singed as he was sent onto his ass.
Groaning as his head hit the floor he rose up slowly and winced as the pain shot through him. "The Brotherhood huh? You wouldn't by chance be the reason Lynx left here...huh?" Bobby sent his palm into the ground and encased the guy's legs in ice.

Xander raised an eyebro was this kid said his love's name. How did he know about her? I'm sure they did nothing together...but...perhaps he was the last person she saw before she left? It was a possibility, he noted, seeing how Lynx had set aside all her feelings for this place and that was how they had met. Watching as he recovered from the attack he felt a cold chill overtake his body. Looking down he noticed his legs were encased in ice and the guy was wearing a smirk.
"Oh how clever, you have encased me ice and I can't move. You forget one small thing...my hands are on fire." He burned free from the ice and moved one leg after antoher until he stood tall and pissed. "I'll have you know I had nothing to do with her leaving, it was a decision she came upon by herself. By the way, my name is Xander Straford, I'm Lynx's boyfriend. Who the hell are you?" He flamed his hands and raced at him with his fists swinging.

Damn, Bobby thought, I should've realized I'm fighting my polor opposite. He was just like pyro, in fact, they could be brothers for all he knew. The flames were dangerous, and, he could not heal properly from such dangerous attacks. Ok so he couldn't heal by himself, but, he had been foolish to not encase his body in ice so the attack was minimal. The pain from the previous attack still burned, and, if he kept up this lazy defense, he would be liable to be nothing more then this guy's punching bag.
Lynx was in the Brotherhood? I failed her, he noted, why couldn't I be stronger? Watching Xander charge at him he was shaken from hsi thoughts and pulled back as he watched the flames dance before his eyes. Each attack was built on power and as he spun around he sent a cold blast of ice at his back. "My name is Bobby Drake...I'm part of the X-Men who reside in that building. How is Magneto these days?" He asked steering clear of talk of Lynx.

This guy is good, Xander thought as his attacks seemed to barely scratch him. If all the X-Men are like this, I can see how come Magneto is having a troublesome time wiping the floor with them. I'll show him I'm the best though...I'll do what he couldnt' and get rid of them one by one if I have to. This institute has to go...along with that old man who resides behind a desk being nothing but a burden to the team. At lest Magneto has the power to stop their most formidable weapon...Wolverine.
Xander was about to answer when he felt a cold blast of ice crash into his back. Pushed into a potted plant he felt his face brush up against the greenery and his hands grew even hotter. "Magneto is fine...and he'll crush you all for your cowardice. You can't even keep your team together, and, everyday humans are revolting to tear this place down. The more you use your powers...the deeper the hole you bury." Xander burned the plant and sent it at Bobbby. Racing forward he knew Bobby would try and freeze it before it burnt the place down, and then he sent a flaming fist aimed right at his stomach.

He has a point, he noted, everyday we're losing the hope of having the humans on our side. Everytime we prove we are the good guys, something like Alcatraz happens that makes them think we thrive on war. Is there no convincing them either way? Bobby wore a smile as he watched Xander hit against the plant with his face. "Looks like you just got aquainted with a new friend." Bobby joked as he just stood there having fun messing with Xander. Still, all fun and no fighting equals a rather sticky situation. Sure enough the plant was on fire...and standing in the middle of an all green field...equaled major flames if he didn't stop it.
"Don't do anything rash Xander...be reasonable." It was too late, the flaming green potted plant was heading over towards him. Raising his hands he shot out some ice freezing it in midflight. It did little good on his end, because just then Xander flew towards him. Coughing up blood as his flaming fist collided with his stomach he was sent backwards and onto his back. Groaning he held his stomach and could feel the fire eating away at him.

Xander was glad he knew something about tactics; other wise, well, this would have all been a futile attempt on his part. Bobby had frozen the plant to save the mansion, but cared little about where he was going to get hit. The blood coming forth was a nice touch, as everyone knew fire and ice were a volatile mix. Watching him fall onto his back he made a tsking sound as he circled around him. This was a nasty predicament the young X fool had landed himself in, he noted, and the scenarios of me killing him are quite...devious and would make me a great part of Magneto's brotherhood honorees.
"Rash and reasonable...two conflicting things that just do not coincide with my being. Bobby, you tried to stop Lynx the day she was going to join Magneto huh? I can see it in your eyes, plus, the fact you thought I was to blame for her leaving...such impudent thoughts. Now...lay there as I give you what you deserve...a quick death." Xander knelt down beside him and sent a heated punch towards his heart.

Bobby could not believe how this was going to end, with him at the mercy of a brotherhood mutant. The pain that subsided down in his stomach was killing him, and if he didn't seek medical attention soon it would be all over for him. Think Bobby think, he mused, there has to be a way to settle this fight and come out looking like a champ. Watching him kneel before him; his fists flaming, he knew he only had a few seconds to act. I am an X-Men, trained by Wolverine, trained by Xavier, I can't let them down now. I have been through enough shit...now is to time to rise.
"I have a better ice...why don't you chill?" Bobby turned his body into ice and sent a icy punch towards his face. Too many people are counting on me, if I die now then my being here was a waste of their time. In a time and age where humanity is on the brink and a war is afoot, they need all the mutants they can. I am Iceman...hear me...chill?

Xander was readying his final blow when he felt a sudden chill. This can't be good, he noted, and just as he thought it he looked down and saw his opponent frozen all over. That is the downside to my power, he thought, I can only flare up my hands...my entire body itself is just...not capable of housing that much power. Pyro was part of the brotherhood and could house the power of flames all over his body, which made him an asset to Magneto. I'll be the first to get rid of someone, he thought, and I won't let this tin plated ice boy ruin my hard word.
Xander felt his eyes widen as he saw an ice punch head his way. It collided with his face hard sending him skyrocketing and crashing into some of the prickyly shrubbery around the county. Wincing as pain shot all over his body he felt a fire explode on his nose. Blood free fell from his broken nose and his eye was darkened a tad. Spitting out some teeth he lumbered from his hiding and glared at him. "This is not over!!" Xander shouted as he raced forward and could feel his hands heating up more faster, each degree of hotness was tearing at his flesh as he neared him. "This ends now!!"

Bobby watched as his icy fist collided with Xander's face. The guy practically shot into the sky and crashed into some unpleasnt shrubs. Looking at the coating of blood on his fist he stood to his feet and regretted it as he felt the pain in his stomach. I am sitll hurting from that hit, one more like it and I will leave this school in a grave. Sure enough the guy couldn't take a hint, he had emerged from the place he was hit into and was practically hurting all over his face. Bobby did not want this to end with him killing him...then he would have one pissed of Lynx coming after him.
"You don't want to do that Xander, think about Lynx, you don't want to leave her alone do you? Look at your hands...if you continue on this path you'll lose them...and then where will you be?" His reasoning was getting no where, and, forming an ice barricade would only have him tearing away at it like a man wanting food in a mirage like desert; only to find his hands buried in needles. Having no choice he summoned up the last of his power and shot several layers of ice at the charging Xander. Feeling his legs fall out from under him he continued shooting the ice...hoping that in the end this worked.

Xander screamed as the pain ate away at his knuckles. I can not stop now...he murmured...I have to beat him. Suddenly he felt a cold wave hit his body, nothing like he had ever felt before. At first he try to beat away at it with his hands flailing about, but then he felt his entire body stiffen in mid run. Groaning as his teeth chattered away he stared in hatred and confusion as his foe, even on his knees, held him in a frozen position. Before he knew it his vocal chords were tied down and his flamed hands were cooling down. Held in the ice block he could only move his eyes; every other part of him was unmoveable. I lost, he thought, and to think of the measures I went to win...

Bobby panted and felt his ice armor fade from his body. Looking on at the ice prison he had encased Xander in he let out a relieved sigh. Raising up on shaky legs he approached Xander and placed a cool hand on the ice. "I didn't want to kill you, hence why you are in here. The last thing I want to do is deprive Lynx of her love, the stability and the home you gave her is better then what was offered here. I have spared your life because this fight was unstable, nothing anyone would feel proud of. You fought trying to prove yourself, I fought to stay alive so my purpose is still here...in one piece. We each have our side in this war, and, perhaps in another time and age we could've been friends.
You are no good to Magneto dead, and, killing me will just frowned upon. You know Xavier and Magneto were friends...and still hold respect for one another to this day right? If Magneto can hold his tongue and not come looking for a fight...why can't you? The sun will melt you out of there, so chill until then." Bobby smiled weakly and headed back to the mansion.

It took no less then an hour to unfreeze; seeing how in this part of New York the sun was constantly heating things up. Falling to his knees he panted and felt warmth for the first time in a while. His hands were scarred from his flames, and, his face still looked like something from a Slyvester Stallone movie. Perhaps I was a tad reckless, he noted, after all...I wasn't under orders from Magneto to smash it up with a X-Men and deprive them of their existence. I also realize now that getting revenge for what this place did to Lynx was probably short sighted in the long run. I only accomplished making a fool of myself and proving that at this stage I'm not match for Bobby.
"We will meet again Bobby...and next time I'll keep a cool head about things." Xander groaned as he headed to his car and hopped in feeling relief at being seated in a car he could feel some solace in. Turning on the engine he drove away from the mansion and decided it was time to get back to training. No one had to know about this fight, and, the less anyone knew the better they would be.
END THREAD
