Truely Awake

[icey_hart]

The whir and click of computers was all she could hear beyond her own breathing. The white, sterile tiles above had no personality at all, but they strangely reminded the girl of home. Nothing but a white expanse of snow for miles. But not now. Now she had her arm strapped up to something, and there was a needle sticking in her arm, attached to a

A tall man slouched into the room, his face twisted into a sneer, his black hair untidy and his clothes ripped. He wasn't in the best shape, and he was definatly not someone you would expect to see in a hospital. However, since he had lost a fight with Red X he had snuck off, looking for a place to hide for a few days, to let the shame wear off. So he had come to the hospital and, hearing the noise, had decided to investigate.

"What are you doin'?" he grunted, his hands shoved in his pockets and his swollen eye making him look more demented then usual.

Her head whipped to the sound of Johnny's voice. Her hand went to rub her now sore neck, and Bell peered into the darkness. She could barely make out his shape, but wasn't nervous, strangely. Her still whirling ice ball slowed to a stop, and dematerialized into the air.

"Nothing," White Hart stated simply. "What are you doing?"

[j_rancid_]

He flipped on the light and glanced at her.

"None of your business. Who are you?" he frowned, leaning against the doorjamb, and his eyes narrow.

"You one of those frozen freaks?"

[icey_hart]

Bell raised a gloved hand to sheild her eyes from the sudden light. She gasped slightly, and the light shone off her white hair.

"Belladri. Who're you?" She micked him, in narrowing her eyes. She snorted disdainfully as he called her a "frozen freak". "I dunno. Are you one of those smelly freaks?"

[j_rancid_]

His hands curled into fists and he took a threating step towards her. No one insulted Johnny Rancid, especially not chicks bedridden in the hospital. Oh yeah, he was feeling brave.

"What'd you call me?" he snapped, sneering at her.

[icey_hart]

She sat up. "I called you smelly. What, you have a hearing problem now?" Bell was very glad at the moment that she learned to speak english. It was serving her well. She yanked the IV out of her arm, wincing only slightly. A little alarm on the computer it was connected to started to go off.

[j_rancid_]

He snorted, smirking slightly.

"What, you never learn english?" he mocked, imitating her accent. He decided to ignore the 'smelly' comment, deciding to get back at her with his biting wit. The machine was irritating him, but he decided to take it out on the girl...Slade would probably kill him if he messed with some of his precious technology, but he didn't really seem to care about people.

[icey_hart]

She frowned, and then pouted as he mocked her accent. It was slightly Russian, even though she'd never spoken it. She'd only heard it all her life. Bell narrowed her eyes, thinking quickly. "Have a thing against foriengers?" She snapped, even though it wasn't insulting. Bell was suddenly surprised with herself. Had she ever been this annoyed before?

[j_rancid_]

"Duh." he drawled, attempting to look intelligent and threatening at the same time, and failing miserably.

"Everyone does. You don't deserve to be here, freak."

[icey_hart]

"Hah." Was all she deemed to say. Even though Bell was new to this world, she knew he had no idea what he was talking about. Instead, she stared intently at his fist, and watched as the ice began to crawl up his fist and onto his arm...

She entered the room with out a sound, her eyes flicking to the monitor and then to Johnny's ice shrouded arm.

"Well... I see you have him under control." She turned her eyes to Johnny's face, shaking her head once. "I told you not to come up here, Johnny. You're supposed to stay with the others." Her yellow eyes flashed red.

[j_rancid_]

He glanced at his arm and his jaw dropped. He started clawing at the ice, his face contorted by rage and suprise, screaming curses at the girl. When Iris entered the room, he glared at her dully, having given up on the ice.

"Like I'm gonna take orders from a creepy chick like you." he snapped, his face twisted into a scowl, "Who said you could order me around anyways, huh?"

[icey_hart]

She watched him claw at the ice with a satisfied smirk. When Iris walked in, she jumped, and the ice shattered onto the ground. Bell giggled at how pink Johnny's arm was now. Hart nodded happily as Iris noted the situation. "I'm sorry to have used force on him, but I got the distinct impression he wanted to hurt me." Her voice sounded innocent for only a moment, before she broke into more giggles. This was all too much fun. She should have frozen him ages ago.

[yellow_chakra]

She narrowed her eyes at Johnny.

"Master Slade and the Headmaster said you had to listen to me... or have you forgotten?" She raised a hand, a yellow glow beginning between her splayed fingers. "I thought you learned your lesson the last time..." She shook her head. "Obviously not."

[j_rancid_]

He crossed his arms, ignoring the cold for the time being.

"Yeah? Well, I don't see them around. Do you?" he sneered at her, choosing to ignore the comment about last time, positive that she wouldn't do it again without her precious headmaster around to protect her.

[icey_hart]

Bell quit her giggling as she felt the tension rise. Crossing her legs indian style, she sat back on her bed, creating another two ice balls. She'd wait and see what happened.
