[Jono, at the very least, has the decency to look sheepish. Yeah, he knows. But they just couldn't help it.]

Bobby, we can help you guys -- [Jono ducks a swing from another Madrox dupe, and takes out six of them at a distance with a blast from his chestplate. They go scattering like bowling pins, while the closer one who took a shot at Jono is knocked over by the force of the blast.]

-- Right now in this fight! We'll give you a hand.

[With all of the dupes streaming in from who-knows-where, Bobby has to grudgingly admit that they could use the help, especially since Kitty has her hands full with Logan. But still. He's furious that they took off without telling anyone, and apparently without any preparation or plan. It was stupid.]

To your left!

[Jono swings around just in time to block a punch. Bobby blasts a dupe with ice, and frowns in mild confusion when a Madrox shoves another dupe into the path of the freezing stream.]

Did you even know what you were doing? What you could be walking into?

[Oh, it was stupid, all right -- Jono's not denying that. And as more time goes by he realizes even more and more just how stupid it was. But this isn't the time to dwell on that.]

We had to come, Bobby.

[That's all he has time to say in defense of himself, since there are more Madrox dupes coming in. He lets out a triple blast from his chestplate and both hands.]

[Two Madroxes give way to four more, descending upon Jono and Bobby, a hurricane of punches and kicks. They're laughing at the banter between the two teammates. One turns to another and scoffs.]

People say we don't get along! At least we can usually keep track of each other.

[A third chimes in, landing a roundhouse kick to Jono's chestplate, hoping to damage some of the controls, not knowing the furnace contained within.]

Even if we can't, we've still got the drop on these chumps.

[Jono and Bobby afford themselves a split second to give "What the hell?!" expressions to each other before shooting off blasts of energy and ice. They both shout together in near unison.]

Shut up, Madrox!

[The Madroxes roll their eyes, ducking away from the blasts easily, the luck unwarranted. They give each other a look, mocking, amused, and laugh. Joined by another handful of dupes, suddenly Jono and Bobby are surrounded.]

You're the ones bitching like a pair of grannies at Wal-Mart. [Four punch-kick combos assault them, followed by a pair of impressive flying spin kicks, one catching Jono in the kidneys, the other striking across Bobby's face.] We'd ask you to shut up, but it's more fun to make you.

[Okay, now Bobby's mad. His organic ice form protects him for the most part, but that doesn't mean the kick doesn't hurt.

He wonders briefly why their attacks keep missing, and remembers what he read in the file: somewhere, Longshot is messing with them. One sweeping glance isn't enough to reveal where he is, and the Madroxes are closing in.

Time for a less... visible tactic. One that doesn't rely quite so much on luck.

Back to back with Jono, he 'thinks' a message to let him know what's going on.]

I'm gonna try something; distract the ones on your side with a few energy blasts on my signal.

[The Iceman reaches out with his powers, feeling for the heat, the liquid in the bodies that surround him.]

NOW!

[Just as Jono lets loose with energy blasts that still seem not to land, the dupes on Bobby's side of the circle suddenly begin crying out and groaning in agony. Bobby hasn't even moved his hands from a defensive position; he doesn't need to. He allows their blood flow to keep cooling, freezing, slowing, until he's sure they're unconscious.

With another telepathic command, he and Jono spin around and he does the same to the dupes on his side, while Jono watches his back.

Soon they're standing in the middle of a circle of limp bodies. And Bobby glances over his shoulder at Jono and simply picks up where he left off.]

Idiotic. It was completely idiotic.

Well, what was I supposed to do?! Leave the poor kid to fate?

[Jono knows he really has no real argument to go on, but just keeps the bickering alive for good measure. Then he indicates the unconscious dupes.]

Nice job.

[Bobby narrows his eyes at Jono, but satisfied that he has been thoroughly chastised and is aware of his stupidity, he lets it go. (Besides, Emma will probably rip into him once they get back to the mansion.)

So he decides to just respond to Jono's last comment]

Thanks.

[He glances around, taking in the many fights his teammates are engaged in.]

I'm going to do a sweep. Keep your eye out for Dazzler - I don't know where she's gotten to...

I think Hellion's got her covered. Sure you don't need me?

[At this point, Jono doesn't really care which fight he tangles himself into, but asks Bobby as a show of deference to Bobby's position on the X-Men team.]

Yeah, I'm sure. See if you can find them; they could probably use someone with a level head.

[As he speaks, Bobby leaps up onto a newly-constructed slide, curving it up and around Jono.]

Keep me updated. [He taps the side of his head, indicating Jono's telepathy.]

[Jono beams at the compliment, because in some ways he's worse than a little kid.]

They're over that way. How about a shortcut, Bob?

[Jono gives a cheeky smile. He's requesting an ice slide for himself to hurry over to Dazzler and Hellion.]

One shortcut coming up.

[The slide forms rapidly before their eyes and Jono hops on.

Bobby appreciates the fact that Jono brings out the humour in him; it keeps him grounded when they're in the middle of life-threatening situations, keeps him from getting too serious and too pessimistic. So he shoots Jono a cocky smirk.]

Keep cool out there, Chamber.
