Ice Cube 1 ( Audio // English )

[notsubzero]

[The comm clicks on aruptly.]

- one of the X-phones.

[There's silence after that brief bit of speaking for a few seconds, before a noise of success.]

It's calling!

[The comm is now put right up to someone's mouth. HI ELEGANTE HAVE A LOUD BOBBY DRAKE.]

Hello?  Miss Grey? Miss Ororo?  ...Anyone?

This is Bob- Iceman. It's Iceman calling, I...

I don't think

[...John can't believe what he's hearing. His stomach drops and he feels his head get light. It's like hearing the voice of a dead person.

It takes some effort to come to his senses before he can rasp out just,]

...Bobby?

[notsubzero]

[For Bobby, it's only been maybe a total of twenty minutes since John left the jet. But it was a bad twenty minutes, let him tell you. He doesn't know if Stryker had guys that got John or if John was coming back and you know, it's cold out there and John's a fire mutant but -

It's John! Yay!

He's rasping! Not yay!]

John!

Are you okay?

[worstone]

[Okay, that is Bobby. John settles his head and pushes his fingers to his temple. He doesn't know how to feel--]

I'm--I'm fine, I'm--I've--

[Shit, what's he supposed to say? Did he ever want Bobby here? Did he think about it at all? He's been alone here, now someone's here who--]

Where are you? Tell me where you are. Room number, deck, something. I need to know where you are. Now. [He sounds very impatient.]

[notsubzero]

[The first part does not reassure Bobby. Pyro has a snappy answer for everything. That was not snappy.]

You don't sound fine --

[But then John interrupts him, demanding a room number. Bobby presses his lips into a thin line but moves towards the door, stepping out into the hallway.]

...Where are we?

It's room 7266. Uh - [He turns around.] Deck 6.

[inkstolen]

[pffffffff hahahaha]

"Iceman"?

lets assume somehow John explains everything

[notsubzero]

[Sob ;A; ]

Yeah. It's because I can make ice...

Look, it's a working code name.

Marjie will still mock him forever

[inkstolen]

Well, you sure are an impressive kid. All chock full of unique skills.

[Oh god, Bobby...just...lol. It's called a freezer.]

Marjorie Pots, babe. You?

[notsubzero]

[He actually just assumes she doesn't like mutants, and so his tone is a little cooler when he replies.]

Bobby Drake.

[lilyground]

Uh, you're definitely not on a jet anymore.

[notsubzero]

Too bad it was kinda a cool jet. Yeah, this is the... Elegante, right?

[lilyground]

Yeah, the MS Elegante. Why do you call yourself Iceman?

[notsubzero]

And we're heading to a shore?

[There's hesitation, but John had said that there weren't any bad guys on board, so.]

Because I can make ice; it's my power.

[ntjstapwn]

...you're from the same world os 'Pyro' aren't you?

[Text]

[notsubzero]

[It takes a short bit for Bobby to respond, finding the text feature.]

Yes. You know him?

[Text]

[ntjstapwn]

Not really, but we talked once.

Are those really the best code names you guys could come up with?

[Text]

[notsubzero]

[WHAT IS IT WITH EVERYONE AND THEIR CODE NAMES.]

Wehn your power is to make ice there's not a lot of vareity.

[standardpackage]

What did ya' say yer name was?

[notsubzero]

Bobby. Some people call me Iceman, though.

[standardpackage]

[Hold on while Jinx laughs for a moment.]

I'll just call ya' Bobby. Name's Jinx over here.

[notsubzero]

[...LIKE YOUR REAL NAME IS ANY BETTER.]

Yeah, I guess this isn't a fight, so...

Nice to meet you, Jinx.

...

Are you from New Jersey?
