"Mr Frost?"Xavier could hear nothing. "Mr Frost, snap out of it."The panic in Clay's voice was more than audible enough for anyone listening to hear it, but no one was around and the only one who could hear him panicking was the source of his panic.Xavier Frost was laying on the floor and blue energy was leaking out his body and freezing everything in the atmosphere. It was not a fun sight to see.Even the air around them was now thicker and laden with frost. There was no way to speak without seeing it in the air, and there was no way to not notice it. The door had been frozen shut, the windows would not open because they had been sealed with ice. The room they were in was one that bore ice everywhere, even on the walls.There was something scary about all that.Clay felt his panic threatening to overide his senses and he tried taking deep breaths so he could calm down. It would all work out fine.All he had to do was disable the ice core right? Wrong.He could not disable the

Inside the Frost mansion Xavier woke up from his self induced nap and tried his best to adjust his sight to the luminance of his surroundings.Everything was bright, unusually bright and it was more out of the light than out of surprise that he was blinking. He could already tell something had changed in him. No one had to tell him that for him to know it. There were a number of changes he could already fee0l and amongst those was the fact that the ice core that had once been on the verge of collapse had somehow fixed itself back up and was now functioning without any problems.He could feel the vortex of ice within him revolving at the speed it had always revolved and right now it didn't feel like it had broken open and was now spilling frost energy into the world. It was a good feeling.A better feeling than he would have loved to admit, but it was a good feeling all the same. He had not felt this okay in ages now ever since he had gotten the core implanted into him, but he could a

Clay left Lisa in the room and descended to the lab beneath her to check for himself how her father was doing. Maybe it was because he had been there when the man collapsed or maybe because he had been just as scared when it had all happened, but he had a deep feeling of worry for Mr Frost. There wasn't much for him to do concerning the cure Lisa had administered to her father. She seemed sure of it and it seemed the cure had worked the way she said it would.The ice core had been repaired. By a bunch of black petals. It still surprised him as to how that happened but as long as Lisa's father was out of the danger zone then he would be happy. They were in enough confusion as things stood already and more confusion was not something he wanted for any of them. What he wanted at the moment was to confirm that Lisa's father was okay, and if he was then maybe he could ask if they could run a brain scan on Lisa. She had lapsed off into thought again and it was making him feel a bit scared.

Lisa stared at her father and tried to assess the level of damage she had done.She had one hand over her mouth and the other helping her prop that arm up.'"When the heck did my father become ebony haired?""Language Lisa.Lisa rolled her eyes and walked over to go stand near Clay."We did this didn't we?"Clay couldn't help the chuckle that escaped his throat. Somehow he had imagined that Lisa would have more information than he would on what was happening to her father. She had asked him to promise that they would both take the fall for whatever happened and when this happened, he suspected she knew about it. No just knew about it but expected it. He would not have been surprised if Lisa expected this to happen, but it seems she had not. She was just as surprised as he was, or she was now a great actress and she was faking all this, but he could tell there was no talent for acting in Lisa so he was sure it was the first one.Lisa was shocked, the same way he had been and it was fu

Xavier watched as Lisa and Clay kept their eyes on him like he was performing some kind of magic trick just sitting down there and doing nothing. He could already tell that it would be a long time before they left him alone and honestly, now he was up to the challenge. There was no way he was going to let them keep him in when he already had something he wanted to do.Lisa could be dealt with. He could persuade her with treats and make her feel he should be let loose to do what he wanted because he was her father and even he would have to admit that he let her loose to do what she wanted too sometimes.Lisa would let him do what he wanted to do because he also let her do what she wanted to do at times. It was an agreement they had both reached and he was sure she would honor her part of their agreement. The one was really worried about was Clay. The fact that the younger male just stood there watching him gave Xavier a funny feeling in his stomach. He and Lisa should have done off t
