Ice Cube 1 ( Audio // English )

[notsubzero]

[The comm clicks on aruptly.]

- one of the X-phones.

[There's silence after that brief bit of speaking for a few seconds, before a noise of success.]

It's calling!

[The comm is now put right up to someone's mouth. HI ELEGANTE HAVE A LOUD BOBBY DRAKE.]

Hello?  Miss Grey? Miss Ororo?  ...Anyone?

This is Bob- Iceman. It's Iceman calling, I...

I don't think

[lilyground]

Uh, you're definitely not on a jet anymore.

[notsubzero]

Too bad it was kinda a cool jet. Yeah, this is the... Elegante, right?

[lilyground]

Yeah, the MS Elegante. Why do you call yourself Iceman?

[notsubzero]

And we're heading to a shore?

[There's hesitation, but John had said that there weren't any bad guys on board, so.]

Because I can make ice; it's my power.

[lilyground]

The Golden Shore. You can make ice? That's so cool!

[notsubzero]

[Bobby can't help smiling, D'AWWW nice little kids.]

Yeah, I can make it whenever I want. Snow, too, if I wanna.

[lilyground]

You can make it snow? Like, indoors? That's totally awesome. I'm Lily, by the way.

[notsubzero]

I can make snow and ice wherever I want. It is pretty awesome.

It's nice to meet you, Lily. I'm Bobby; how old are you?

[lilyground]

I'm 12. Does everyone have powers on your world?

[notsubzero]

Not everyone, but a few of us do. Some people don't like us because of that.

[lilyground]

[... Okay, back the fun bus up.]

... People don't like you because you have rad powers.

[...]

What's up with that?

[notsubzero]

[Bobby laughs a tiny bit, but it sounds sad.]

Well, they are pretty rad, but - in my world, powers are caused by a mutation, so we're called mutants. Some mutants have attacked humans, and some humans just don't like us because we're different. Maybe they're jealous, I don't know.

But because of that, a lot of people don't like us.

[lilyground]

Oh, you're a mutant? I get it. Nobody's gonna hate you here, so don't worry. There are worse things that mutants.

[notsubzero]

Yeah, I'm a mutant.

[He almost sounds reluctant to admit it, but then he perks up.]

That's what I've heard, that people are a little nicer here.

[lilyground]

Way nicer. promise.

[notsubzero]

Good, cause I'm tired of having to tiptoe.

[Oops John is rubbing off.]

So... what's on board to do here?
