One mini Icecube with a side order of oops. [open]

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi scowled as she knelt helping one of her friends pick up their books.  “Alex you have to be such a jerk?”  She handed the books over to the girl he had tripped, who was pushing her glasses up so she could see.

“Bobbi, don’t, you’ll get into trouble if you’re in another fight.  It’s alright I’m used to it by now.”  She did accept her books though.

“Aw what’s wrong Bobbi, gonna let the geek tell you what to do?”

“Considering she’s been helping me get used to the school, yeah I’ll let her.”  She glared at the older student putting an arm around her friend.  “Come on, let’s go.  We’ll be late for class if we stay here, I can’t afford another tardy.”  Their way towards the English room was blocked by his friends.  Bobbi glanced around, the other students were forming a ring around them, the chant of fight already starting.  The fourteen year old gave a small frown.  “Anna stay behind me okay?”  She was used to getting bumps and bruises from the soccer field at least.  If he was really going to take a swing she preferred it to be her that got hit and not Anna.

Al’s fist hit the locker by her head making her flinch slightly as he grinned.  “All that bravado and you’re still shaking aren’t you?”  He laughed stepping back.

Bobbi closed her eyes growling a moment, the air around her started to cool down as she pushed him away from her.  He yelped, her small hands actually cold enough to burn him even through his shirt.  “I’m not scared of you.”  Her words were as cold as her hands, making his buddies back up as if scared of the pint sized teen.  She stormed past him, the air still cooling.  There was the sound of something above the gathered students cracking.  Looking up all the sprinklers had icicles forming. The young blond bolted as soon as she was away from everyone, feeling like she needed space.

Once outside in the California sun she bolted across the yard planning on making it home before anything else happened.  She wasn't sure what was going on, but had a feeling the cracking noises she had heard were because of her.

Bobbi had slowed her run once she was off the school grounds she had slowed. She was doing her best to avoid going near the street, remembering the icicles in the school.

"That was stupid of you Bobbi, they're not going to let you go back after that..." Yes she was talking to herself.

[talk_to_you]

Doug hid a smile behind his hand. "Some of the names I've got for you shouldn't be said where small children could hear them."

He looked up, noticing the girl. "School's still in session, right?"

[nohoundsallowed]

"Mm. Keep those in mind," she promised. Though she got more serious when she noticed where Doug was looking. Her eyes narrowed momentarily.

"Yes, it is. I think that's who we're looking for. Acute mutagenic revelation syndrome right there."

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi glanced up hearing the voices, noticing they were looking at her.

Damn, just what I need people complaining that I'm skipping school... She thought almost tripping. Her hand flew out to stop her fall and, the light pole she touched crystallized as it froze.

"Right, don't touch anything yet..."

[talk_to_you]

"Well, I'd say we don't need any other proof."

Doug could read panic in her very easily. It was clear the sudden freezing was unexpected.

"Um... hello?" he called out.

[nohoundsallowed]

"Stay calm and nonthreatening," Rachel reminded her husband under her breath. She let him approach while she stayed where she was. She stood easily with a reassuring smile on her face.

If the girl bolted, she'd possibly be dragging a floating Rachel with on a telekinetic tether. The girl could be a danger to others or others to her.

[iced_cherub]

She stayed still. "You guys aren't freaking out." She stepped away from the light but not closer to them. She did debate on bolting, but was worried if she got closer to people she'd do worse than a small case of frostbite. "Don't come closer... I don't know how to stop it."

She really didn't want to hurt anyone at least. It's Cairo all over, the soldiers are going to be here any moment I need to get out of here... She wasn't sure exactly where to go though. Her house wasn't an option her mother would be home and she didn't want to risk hurting her.

[talk_to_you]

She's nervous, real nervous, he can tell, reading her body language. It's a deep set panic... more fear than just from a normal mutant manifestation.

"We've seen this kind of thing before," he said, calmly. "I'm Professor Ramsey, and this is my wife, Professor Grey-Ramsey. We're teachers. From a school of people just like you."

[nohoundsallowed]

Rachel caught the thought about Cairo. Her brow furrowed slightly, but she filed that to be discussed later. Also, set the girl up with some mental defenses.

Though doing her due diligence, Rachel scanned the area for anyone looking for the girl. The redhead would give gentle nudges to go looking in the wrong direction for the moment.

[iced_cherub]

"It's just because I'm sick, that's what Mom and Dad say." Though the words showed she had doubts about it.

She shook her head a moment her thoughts going dark for a brief moment. She had thought to touch both of them and run, but she stayed her ground. No, I didn't hurt the soldiers before I'm not going to hurt teachers now. I'm not a monster.

"That kind of school?" She'd at least try to figure out what was going on, the temperature around her was starting to warm up at least. She was losing the hold on the cold, which meant she'd have one huge case of the munchies later.

[talk_to_you]

Doug kept his hands firmly up and in sight, to show he meant absolutely no harm.

"We're a school for mutants," he said. "We can help you learn to control your gifts."

What was she so afraid of? There was an edginess he couldn't properly identify...

[nohoundsallowed]

"You'll be safe there," Rachel added. In as much as they kept the invasions to the front lawn. And had a basement that doubled as a bomb shelter most times.

She noted the girl's thoughts. "There are others there. Similar to you. Who are scared how their powers effect others."

[iced_cherub]

"None of them are allergic to birds are they?" Because it was sounding better than the stuffy private school she went to. At least she wouldn't be alone.

"I can't though. Mom and Dad probably wouldn't let me go. They say that the school I go to is special too. But I'm the only one there that's different." Okay maybe Anna too, but Anna was different in other ways, and completely normal.

[talk_to_you]

"Not that we know of," Doug told her.

"We could talk to them," he added. "But it sure looks like you could use our help."

[nohoundsallowed]

"No allergies to birds, turtles, or wolverines in our student body," Rachel assured as she moved closer. It seemed the girl wasn't going to run, so the redhead did not see a reason to hang back.

"We can always sell parents on attending a prestigious private school in upstate New York."

[iced_cherub]

She thought about it a moment and nodded. "Don't come closer just yet, it's still a little too cold, but... If they agree I'll go." After all it would get her closer to old friends, she could try to find out what happened to her before Cairo.

"And I only ask because I have wings. I wouldn't want anyone going into fits because of me."

[talk_to_you]

Wings and ice? Doug thought in Rachel's direction. Odd power combination.

"Trust me," he said, "wings are hardly the most unusual thing around there."

[nohoundsallowed]

We do have a metamorph who turns into bipedal turtles with their own powersets. Maybe her powers are penguin-based? It was all speculation at this point. They would figure more out when they tested her at Xavier's. At least they could get Bobby to work with her on the ice thing.

"We've seen a lot, Miss...?"

[iced_cherub]

"Bobbi Angelus." She bit her lip a little. "And my parents have probably already found out about the incident in the school... I made sure to get out before I really hurt anyone. He deserved the small burn he got for picking on me and Anna."

[talk_to_you]

Self-control like that already? A pretty good sign, Doug reckoned.

"We... probably shouldn't approve of that," Doug said. "But sometimes, bullies need to be taken down a peg."

[nohoundsallowed]

Rachel quirked an eyebrow at the name. Interesting girl, this one.

"Well, Bobbi. How about we talk to your parents and get you transferred to Xavier's as soon as possible?" Before life at school become monumentally worse due to her power display.

[iced_cherub]

"My house is a few blocks away still. Mom is home, she's always home." She stepped closer to Rachel, the air around her still a little cooler, but that was weakening at least.

[talk_to_you]

"Not a problem," Doug said.

What's your take on her? Doug mentally asked Rachel. Anything we should be concerned about? All I'm getting is nervous as hell.

[nohoundsallowed]

"Let's walk there, shall we?" Rachel smiled pleasantly. "It'll work the last of the edge off from your power display."

She was scared and is calming down now. She kept thinking about army men and Cairo. We may have to dig into past a bit when she gets to the school. She's got no mental defenses whatsoever.

[iced_cherub]

Bobbi nodded. "Probably means I'll be going to bed early tonight too. Always do when something like that happens." She points the direction her house is. "It's that way, and I think that'll be a good idea. I'd rather not let Mom know it happened again. Last time I froze the pool solid. Took two days for it to thaw."
