An Iceman never kisses and tells.

Warren knew he was being far too chill considering what was happening, but he decided that he wouldn’t mess with it. His mutant abilities were at their most organic when he was relaxed and he never did deal with stress well, not to say he wasn’t dealing with it all in his own way now between the whiskey and the trash tv.

“covered in ice huh? told ya you sucked with the controlling your powers stuff, robert.” Warren teased. He liked fucking with his friend. Knowing full well the lack of control was a soft spot for Bobby.

“I woke up slightly less rich than I was the night before” he shrugged “but that’s the stock market for ya” he tried to make a crappy joke, but deep down he knew the shift would eventually get to him. Choosing to ignore Bobby making himself at home and helping himself to Warren’s whiskey, he headed toward the couch, hoping his friend wasn’t here asking for much more.

There was no way Warren wasn’t going to let Bobby’s words go to his head. It had been a hot minute since anybody had paid him a compliment and that was far too long, he also appreciated anybody saying something nice when he was as ballsy with his wings like this. 

“I was certainly more twinky in 2012….but the wings sure help with the greek god look, bobby.”

Bobby always (though he wouldn’t admit it) a little jealous of the generational wealth that Warren comes from. “Well, if you happen to need someone to take that money off your hands, I can send you my bank information.” He joked while the glass of whiskey had already been to his lips. Bobby had always been a lightweight, but reverting back to an age where his tolerance was even lower meant getting buzzed more quickly.  His left arm rested on top of the couch, glass in hand, as he tried his best to push out the thoughts in his mind regarding his new life. Bobby tended to avoid talks of feelings, choosing to crack a joke or completely avoid any discussion pertaining to the topic. Alcohol tended to bring out the side that he chose to push down, and he was doing his absolute best to not make it known just how affected mentally he is with this situation. “ Twinky?” A chuckle escaped from his lips unintentionally,  shaking his head at the word. “ Can’t say I’ve heard that one before.” He leaned back on the couch, finishing the rest of the whiskey in the glass with one large chug. “ You know, most people would jump at the chance to repeat years of their lives - but not me. My parents stopped speaking with me in 2011 and didn’t speak with me until 4 years later. All that work and now I’m going to have to deal with this shit all over again.” Bobby rubbed at his temples.  “ Anything you dreading having to experience again?” He wouldn’t admit it, but Bobby was just happy to be around someone he knew, even though their friendship still had its cracks that were bound to come up.

Warren had yet to experience anything negative in 2012. Aside from the minor apartment set back that had put him back in his old, slightly less fancy but still overtly lavish apartment, he was actually doing okay. He had just yet to freak out about anything, which probably wasn’t a good sign of things to come. 

As he laid shirtless on the couch, wings sprawled out with a bottle of expensive whiskey in his hand, he heard a knock at the door. Followed by an extremely familiar voice.

“Bobby.” he muttered as he got up and headed over to the door. 

“Oh come on, you make it sound like you ever had much control over the ice thing.” he teased as he swung open the door. 

“You’re hilarious.” He sad sarcastically with a defeated eyeroll, unable to hide the smile on his face from Warren’s teasing remark. “ It scares me how calm and collected you are, Warren. You know, for someone who just had years and years of memories and experiences wiped.” He stepped inside Warren’s apartment as memories of the times he’s spent here started flooding in.  There was some familiarity in being back in this apartment, and Bobby would be lying if he said it didn’t improve his mood. “So, just how confused are you right now? I woke up this morning and apartment i haven’t lived in years was covered in ice.  He wasn’t even in the apartment longer than a few minutes and had already helped himself to the clearly expensive whiskey. Immediate comfort came from the drinking the whiskey, and Bobby was surprised at just how strong the taste had been. 

His attention focused back on Warren, his nerves being somewhat more settled down. “ Can’t lie when I say this place brings back some pretty good memories.” Bobby moved towards the couch the man had obviously been laying on. “ Also, excuse me for saying this and don’t let it get to your head,  but it’s hard not to stare at you when you literally look like a greek god right now. Were you this hot in 2012?” This isn’t the alcohol talking, and like I said, don’t let it get to your head.” Bobby was brutally honest, often struggling with keeping his thoughts to himself. He was also a natural flirt regardless of the person.

          the  comment  is  dripping  with  sarcasm.  but  if  it  bothers  the  thief,  he  certainly  makes  no  show  of  it.  truly,  it  was  what  he  expected  with  every  return.  he  came  and  went  from  the  lives  of  all  the  x-men  easily  enough.  thieves  guild  business  paired  with  battling  his  own  past  demons  kept  him  from  settling  down  at  xavier’s.  not  that  remy  was  so  sure  he  even  wanted  to  settle  somewhere  in  the  first  place  …  not  yet,  at  least.  he  rounded  up  on  the  iceman;  armed  with  nothing  but  the  smirk  that  was  tugging  at  the  corners  of  his  mouth.   “  aw,  bobby  boy.  with  the  precious  name-calling,  i  can’t  help  but  go  assumin’  dat  you  missed  me.  it  alright.  gambit  be  easy  on  the  eyes  and  all  the  fun  leaves  when  he  do.  so,  i  get  it !  ”

“ usually i’d threaten to freeze you where you stand, but unfortunately i have to keep my emotions in check right now. ” his abilities reverted back to the years where his sense of control was nowhere near his future selves. the mansion was in a weird spot right now, as there were people who no longer attended the institute. “ you do have nice eyes, but that’s besides the point.” bobby let out a huge sigh, leaning against the nearest wall. “ i’m going to assume that us being in the year 2012 brought you here? i can’t say i blame you though the professor hasn’t even been able to give us any answers. i can’t stress myself out too much. i woke up freaking out and the apartment i haven’t lived inside for years was so cold there was ice on the floor.”

Bobby still was reeling from the sudden night of binge drinking to waking up to one of the worst years of his life along with the sudden arrival of space robots. He was stressed, anxious, pissed, and a wave of emotions he usually avoided. Emotions were something he had to keep in check, especially with his ice abilities that are capable of freezing people and causing more problems then they needed. Without even thinking, Bobby quickly encased his body in ice, and traveled his usual means of ‘ice-surfing’ to someone that somewhat knew how to ease his nerves. When he arrived, Bobby immediately knocked on the door. “Warren. I hope to god that you’re still living here. There’s not many places I remember you living in 2012, but I’ve been drunk here enough times to somewhat remember. Please tell me you have a drink or something.  Whatever happened, I’m no longer in complete control of my abilities. I guess whatever happened erased my years of training. ”

Bobby had absolutely no idea what happened that suddenly brought them back to his somewhat younger years, and with the random robot aliens standing on every corner it was hard to not be suspicious. The x-men mansion was the first place he decided to run to, hoping that the professor would know what was going on. Knowing their usual troubles in their world, he was going to assume the Avengers played a part in this. Bobby didn’t see anyone relevant, so he decided to run to the kitchen to grab a beer (which was for some reason in the fridge at a school). He’d been in his head for a moment, not realizing that Gambit was walking down the same hallway. “Wow. Look who it is. You deciding to show up now. Even during a world altering phenomenon I didn’t expect Remy LaBandon to make an appearance.” He said with not only a smug look but a sarcastic tone.

questionnaire:

How are you feeling? Physically and mentally.“ ” i actually felt the feeling of being cold for a few seconds after i woke up. mentally, i need to get back to you on that one because it’s a long answer.” Where are you living? The same place you lived in 2012, or displaced to a random apartment? Explain to the best of your ability. ” in these condo-like apartments in brooklyn. my parents own a bunch of properties and now i’m finding myself reliving my late 20s again. as much as i love the x-men, i don’t think i can move into that mansion right now.” What do YOU think we should do about the situation at hand? Try to go back home? The original mission of stopping Thanos? Rewrite the entire story? ” that sounds like a job for the avengers. we have our own exponential problems. they have the resources to do whatever they want. the x-men don’t have access to the same technology that can detect problems in the universe. besides, i don’t remember being called to the final battle. i’m going to figure my life out and hopefully do a lot better this time.” What will you DO about the situation at hand? ” i guess working when I have to actually do work. when you don’t live in the x-mansion you have to actually do adult things like pay bills and live. but. i will do whatever i can to help. just don’t expect me to take charge.” Is there anything that you think needs to be done? ” figure all this out is the obvious answer. but i should probably find the x-men that are...here. If need be, would you be willing to team up with the government and SHEILD to recoup and help the situation at hand? ”absolutely not. we’ve had to deal with organizations screwing us over all the time. SHEILD i’d only consider if they really really needed me. which in that case, i want nick fury to beg.” What are your worries? ” i’m worried that i’ll have to repower myself overtime. i’m unfortunately not in my prime anymore and i don’t know why.” What do you think are the pros about this situation? ” anyone that talks about machines and science in a way that the vast majority of people don’t understand. just don’t ask me.” Anything else?
