[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.

[jono-stars.livejournal.com]

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.

AHH I LOVE THEIR BICKERING

[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.]

Awww, Jono! See, this is why Bobby likes Jono. Because he's awesome.

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

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.]

Re: Awww, Jono! See, this is why Bobby likes Jono. Because he's awesome.

[jono-stars.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

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.
