Re: Cold As Ice

[DC-Lover]

The room had no sound in it except for the breathing of the two individuals sitting across from each other. Ice felt her stomach twist and turn in fear as Tech repeated his words to her.
“You are Mary Crane, aren’t you?” He said coldly.
Ice felt her body tense up. What could she possibly say to save her in this situation? Was this the end of her career as a superhero? What was the point in telling him a lie. Knowing how Tech thought he probably had an army of his little superhero squad waiting for her outside to make some kind arrest on her person if she tried anything. Sighing heavily she looked him in the eye and confessed.
“Yes I am” Ice said taking off her mask which she had worn since the night The Raven brought her to their base.
Techs expression didn’t change. It looked as cold and emotionless as it always had. It was as if he was still awaiting an answer to his question and was listening carefully for it. Then he suddenly let out a sigh.
“I hate being made a fool of..” He said in a defeated tone.
“What are you going to do? Turn me in? Tell the others?” Ice asked not looking away from Tech even for a moment.
“Why would I turn you in?Your secret is safe. I don’t think Raven would care to know your Mary Crane just when he has started to like Ice. Your innocent right?” Tech asked looking towards Mary.
“Of course I am…But how are you so sure I’m not just lying?” Ice asked hoping she hadn’t shot herself in the foot with this question.
“You didn’t have to help on any of our operations Ms.Crane, but you chose to. You even put yourself in harms way twice just to protect other people. I would be extremely surprised if you were responsible for the deaths of those people.” Tech said handing her some clothes that he must have taken from the bag she had earlier.
“Why would you be surprised?” Ice asked now curious.
“Because it wouldn’t be something i could predict..” Tech said now sounding like his old self.
“What makes you so sure of your theory?” Ice asked now interested in Tech.
“Its my..” he looked at Ice for a moment before finishing his sentence.
“Superpower.” He answered.
“What?” Ice said confused.
“While most people can access one to ten percent of their brain..I can access one hundred percent of my own.” Tech said to Mary as she dressed herself.
“Are you kidding me?” Ice asked in disbelief of his statement.
“I rarely joke Ms. Crane. I have access to one hundred percent of my cranium and possess more knowledge than that of any living being on the planet.” Tech said as if he was discussing something trivial.
“So wait…what do you do when your not working…I mean isn’t there anything that doesn’t bore you?” Ice said knowing that this was to be her last question to Tech.
“Puzzles..” he said in a low tone.
“Puzzles?” Ice said in an extremely confused tone.
” I can solve any equation made up of any set of numbers known to man…But I cant get two sides to match on a rubix cube” He said blushing for the first time in Ice’s company.
Ice let out a loud shriek of laughter as Tech left the room. She slowly got up off the bed and put on her mask. She realised just because Tech knew who she was didn’t mean everyone had to know. She walked out of the room still giggling at the thought of Tech trying to solve a rubix cube.

Ice walked towards the command room as she noticed a new face. He was not wearing a mask and had an abnormal amount of satchels and pockets. She approached him catously unsure if he was freind or foe. Suddenly she felt something on her shoulder.
“Capsule this is who I was talking about…Ice meet Capsule” Raven said his hand on Ice’s shoulder.
Capsule turned around and looked Ice up and down. He smiled perversly as if trying to picture her naked.
“I’ll let you two get to know one another…” Raven said smiling as he left them alone.
For some odd reason Ice would have prefered the company of Omega to this guy who had not stopped staring at her breasts since Raven introduced them.
“Well Hello there ” Capsule said as if saying that to her would make her want to jump into his arms.
“Whats your story? What can you do?” Ice said trying to hide her already grave dislike of him.
“Well they call me capsule because any substance i take can give me a random power based on the combination. Thats what all these satchels are for. All of them contain different capsules and give me different powers. Impressed?” He said winking at her.
“So can you remember any of the combinations?” Ice asked as his hand started to reach around her.
“I can remember the combination that allows me to heal or grow back any part of my body, excluding my head of course.”He laughed and looked at her.
” Really? Got that combination with you?” She felt her blood boil as he ran his hand across her breast.
“Yup.” He said smiling and leaning in to kiss her.
“Good!” Ice said and grabbed his groin.
His smile suddenly turned to shock as Ice started to use her ability. His groin begin to freeze and pain covered his face.
“SWEET JESUS!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?” he screamed as she let go.
“You better take those pills out now dickhead!” she said as suddenly with all her might she kicked him in the groin.
Ice was not sure if she broke his whole manhood or just his jewels, but what she did know is that it hurt. He fell to the floor almost out of breath and swallowed two of his capsules. Smiling she walked away from him feeling like she won.
“Don’t touch me again!”
“YOU LITTLE BITCH!” She surprisingly heard as she turned to face the now enraged Capsule.
He punched her in the face and she hit the ground hard. He had obviously taken some capsule to increase his strength. He continued to hit her before someone else stopped his assault.
“STOP!”Omega said as he punched Capsule across the room.
Capsule hit the wall and got up slowly and screamed towards his attacker.
“Do you know what she did!” Capsule screamed in anger as Ice walked towards her room.
“I don’t care! Your better now! Leave her alone!” Omega said as Ice walked into her room.
Closing the door,she fell to the floor in pain and satisfaction. She wasn’t proud of what she did to Capsule,but it put him in his place. That was a lie. Of course she was proud of it. The one thing that plagued her mind was Why did Omega help her?

(Sorry to cut it short but I am busy doing four things at once for the moment so more will be added later on this weekend.)
