Role reversal swap au, designs coming later:
“Freezer burn what the fuck are you doing? Get out there. I sent you on a mission so do it.” Flambae annoyingly sighs he knows it's gonna be paperwork.
“No, I'm at the bottom of the board. I'm done. The phoenix program isn't for me anyways. I told everyone I'm quitting.” He sent that line over to everyone.
“What are you talking about?” He shakes his head.
“I'm also not gonna be one of the reasons my friends fight. So I quit and I'm done. I can't be a hero the way I want to. The system didn't see me as one so… I'm not.”
“Freezer… What happened that night and what you did. I didn’t know why for a long time. I think maybe you should have approached it differently-”
“How? He gets off scott free for what he does to people. A lot of people do. What am I supposed to do if it keeps happening? A slow and painful death is the least I can do. Or a quick one. These people are worse y'know. Something to just get rid of this… ick.”
Flambae wasn't even sure how to respond.
“Do you have anything to say? Kids are scared of me too, all over people warn about the man who can end your life in seconds. Break your fingers off just by freezing them.”
“You-” Flambae could feel his quick pace rage building then he realized what Robert was trying to do as more antagonistic comments came towards him.
“I know what you're trying to do. What if someone needs your help now? You're the only one who can save them. Chase even has his limits. His augments may help but he still struggles. You brought these people together, you're the one who should stay if you're willing to sacrifice something good for yourself just so everyone wouldn't fight. That alone proves you could be a great hero.”
Robert looks up at the sky stopping the swing.
“I don't know. I still can’t forgive you. I don't think I ever can.” He frowns.
“That's okay… I don't think I would either.” Flambae looks at his screen. “Well what do you know I think the universe is telling your dumbass something too. There's a Robbery in progress right across from you. People are there y'know who need help.”
“Ffff-fuck….” Robert sighs getting off of the swing. “I hate the universe.”
“Be lucky the universe hates a lot of people. Went from everyone loving me to thinking I'm a total lover. That shits fucking ass.”
Robert walks over to one of the kids sharing a cigarette together.
“Hey!”
The kid pulls a face as Robert took his cigarette, freezing it. “Stick to bubblegum or something. You're like twelve, get over it.” He started running over to the jewelry store. Kicking the door open and Robert was already met with robbers pointing a gum at him and a few hostages. Diving for cover behind a counter.
“Come on out now!”
“Shit, I'm scared. I don't think I will.” His sarcastic voice drips out placing his hand on the ground as he sees the Frost spreading only getting a glance at where the Robbers currently stood. But he got it, he could hear the three yelping as ice rapidly covered their bodies, the sound of a gun dropping and clanking to the floor. Robert stands up looking at the hostages looking relieved.
Robert didn't even need Flambae’s help.
