Episode 41: A Past As Black As Ice Part II
Michelle walked down the stairs and toward the front door where she grabbed her boots and started to put them on. “Michelle don’t forget your lunch!” Emma Frost called to Michelle. “I was planning on it!” Michelle replied. Emma Frost quickly walked up to Michelle and handed Michelle her lunch in a brown bag. “Uh, you know I’m just going to throw it at the first nerd I see” Michelle stated. “Or you could eat it like other kids do” Emma Frost replied. “Yeah well those other NORMAL kids are twice as messed up as I am” Michelle explained, “Not to mention those so called POPULAR brats continue to bully the other girls.” “Yes, I know you’ve told me this many times Michelle” Emma Frost replied as she put her hand against Michelle’s face, “But it’s not healthy to keep living the way you are with all this makeup, dye, and jewelry.” “I know mother…” Michelle said as she removed Emma Frost’s hand, “But it’s what I like and it really doesn’t matter if you like it. It’s a hard decision but it’s what is best” Michelle then smiled, opened the door, and left the apartment. “You can’t just use what I said about your father against me every time Michelle.” “Yes I can” Michelle replied walking down the hallway lifting her middle finger in the air. Michelle then threw her lunch at a student that walked by. The lunch hit the kid in the face and the kid fell to the ground. “Fucking nerd…” Michelle snickered as she walked by the student.
Michelle walked down the stairs and passed Titus who was leaning against a few lockers. Titus then stood up straight off the lockers and followed next to Michelle. “Hey Michelle” Titus said as he walked next to Michelle. “Hey moron” Michelle replied. “Bad day so far?” Titus asked. “Yep” Michelle answered. “Piss off your mom again?” Titus asked. “Probably” Michelle answered, “Not hard to do, just have to bring Kurt up.” “Who the fuck is Kurt?” Titus asked. “My dad moron” Michelle answered, “Damn you are a moron.” “There’s a reason I don’t deny it” Titus answered, “By the way do you know where he is now a days?” “No” Michelle replied, “Probably somewhere in an abandoned church. I take it Emma will leave me soon as well.” “I doubt that” Titus stated. “Really?” Michelle asked looking at Titus. “No, I ain’t gonna lie” Titus replied, “She probably will soon, you can be a real pain.” Titus then laughed and Michelle smiled. “You know if anyone else said that to me I would kick their ass” Michelle stated. “Yeah but I’m not anyone else” Titus explained, “I’m Titus.” “You’re a moron” Michelle replied. “Alright so Titus The Moron” Titus said still smiling. Titus and Michelle continued to walk down the hallway next to each other. “So did the Professor say what he was doing with Luna?” Michelle asked starting a new conversation. “No…” Titus said as his smiled disappeared, “He won’t tell me anything about it. Says that I just have to trust him.” “Hm” Michelle thought for a second nodding, “You should just forget about her.” “What?” Titus asked as he stopped walking. “Forget about her” Michelle said again. “Why?” Titus asked. “Cause obviously you won’t be seeing her again” Michelle explained, “Or at least not for a very long time. Obviously Xavier see’s something wrong with her and is trying to get rid of her.” “You think the Professor would do that?” Titus asked. “Of course” Michelle answered, “Why else would he take her away and not tell you what he had planned?” “Because I wouldn’t understand it yet and what he has to do is necessary?” Titus replied. “Man that guy really has you in the palm of his hand” Michelle said as she moved a student out of her way. “That MAN happens to be my guardian who I trust and respect” Titus replied as he helped the student Michelle pushed down back up, “I trust him just as much as I trust you.” “Well there’s your issue” Michelle stated as she took decorations down from the ceiling, “By the way how’s the other moron?” “Other moron?” Titus asked. “The metal moron” Michelle replied, “The one that just stares at me.” “Oh, you mean Cobalt” Titus answered, “He’s…” Titus started to look around. “Awe shit…” Titus said as he hid his face with his hands. “Do I even have to say it?” Michelle asked. “I know, I know” Titus replied as he pointed to himself, “I’m a moron, I got it.” “And a retard” Michelle said with a laugh. “Ha, ha, ha…” Titus replied. “Awe, gonna go tell Xavier I hurt your feelings?” Michelle asked. “At least I can go to a father figure” Titus answered and laughed. “Oh, that’s cold” Michelle replied. “Just the way you like it” Titus stated. Michelle smiled and Titus and Titus smiled back, then Titus was suddenly hit with something and fell to the ground.
“Oh what the fuck?” Titus asked as he started to get up. Michelle then picked up a massive book and handed it to Titus. Titus took the book from Michelle and held it up. “Who the hell through-“ Titus then looked at the book cover, “Their history book at me!?” “Oh sorry Titus that was me” A kid stated as he walked forward and laughed. “The hell RJ?” Titus asked stepping toward RJ, “You got a problem?” “Personally, I don’t Titus” RJ explained, “But, you see…some of the jocks-well, most of the jocks, are pissed off about the fight by the fountain. So, they paid me to kick the crap out of you.” “Ah yes” Titus replied, “Forgot you started taking contracts. How much are they paying you?” “Altogether over five hundred” RJ answered. “Daaamn” Titus replied over Michelle, “I feel so special. Wait by why did you throw a book at me?” “I heard you hate books” RJ stated. “That I do” Titus replied. Titus then looked at the camera and stated, “Who says books don’t hurt anyone? Look at my face!” “Oh calm it down moron you have regeneration” Michelle said to Titus. “Not now Michelle” Titus replied. “Hey Michelle” RJ said to Michelle. “Hey RJ” Michelle replied, “You take out that dick I told you about?” “Yeah I did that an hour ago” RJ answered. “Good” Michelle said nodding, “You hang him-“ “On the chandelier by his underwear at the front of the school” RJ answered finishing Michelle’s sentence. Michelle then threw a stack of cash in a rubber band to RJ and RJ caught it and put it in his coat pocket. “What the hell is happening here?” Titus asked. “Business” RJ answered. “Alright well listen RJ I really don’t feel like hurting you so I’m just gonna put Michelle here in front of me” Titus then grabbed Michelle and put her in front of himself, “And she will kick your ass for me. Hope you don’t mind getting hit by a girl.” “Ah yes” RJ said nodding, “I knew you would have too much respect for me in order to fight me. I’ll tell you what just pay above the wanted level and I’ll let it slide.” “Love to dude” Titus replied, “But…alas I have no money on me.” “Getting money anytime soon?” RJ asked. “I could lie if you want me to” Titus answered. “Alright so be it” RJ said putting his hands in his back pockets, “Sorry about this bro.” RJ then took his hand out of his pocket and snapped his finger and five other big students at lockers dropped their books and grabbed Titus and held him down. “You hired backup?” Titus asked. “What?” RJ asked, “You should feel complimented. I never hire backup. However, you sir are one strong, cut throat, son of a bitch.” “Hm, thanks” Titus replied, “I think…” RJ then began to walk up to Titus as the five students held him down. “Not exactly a fair fight” Titus said struggling to break free. “No” RJ replied, “It’s not a fight, it’s business. Again, I am sorry.” Michelle suddenly steeped in front of RJ and held her hand against RJ’s chest. RJ held his hands up and backed up a bit. “Woah now Michelle” RJ stated as he backed up. Michelle then snarled at RJ. “I have no bounty on you Michelle” RJ explained, “However, if you don’t move out of the way I will not hesitate to take you down.” “You want to take him down” Michelle replied, “You have to take me down as well.” “Ok then…” RJ stated. RJ then grabbed Michelle and threw her over his shoulder smashing her against the ground. “You’re taken down” RJ stated as he fixed his jacket and then walked toward Titus again.
Titus looked up as RJ walked up to him. RJ took a brass knuckle out of his pocket and put it on his right hand. “Suppose there is no negotiating with any of you?” Titus asked looking at the five students that held him down, “I’ll take the no response as a no…” RJ then punched Titus in the face. “Don’t try to negotiate Titus” RJ explained, “Try to go unconscious, it will be over quicker then.” RJ then punched Titus in the face again and Titus spit up blood and began to laugh. “What’s so funny Titus?” RJ asked, “You’re really making this harder than it has to be.” “Hahaha, I’m sorry” Titus replied, “Just that I was thinking of a joke.” Titus then looked up at RJ and asked, “If these words descend by one letter, what is the seventh word?” RJ looked at Titus strange and Titus started to name the words, “Discomfort, suffering, distress, torment, sorrow, agony-“Titus then forced four of the students that were holding him down smashing them into each other. Titus then grabbed the student that held him down from behind and threw the student over his head and onto the ground. RJ then went to strike Titus but Titus grabbed RJ’s fist and then picked up the book and whacked RJ in the face with it knocking RJ to the ground. “And pain!” Titus yelled as he stood over RJ. “You didn’t give him a chance to answer moron” Michelle stated as she got up. “Oh yeah…” Titus replied and then bent downward toward RJ’s face and said, “It was pain!” RJ suddenly punched Titus in the face with his brace knuckle and knocked Titus to the ground. RJ then quickly stood above Titus and continued to hit him. Michelle went to walk forward and help Titus but the five students got up and stood in front of her. The five massive guys cracked their knuckles and smiled at Michelle as they walked towards her. Michelle took a few steps back, then smiled and stopped moving. One of the students charged at Michelle and Michelle grabbed the students arm and then forced an icicle through their elbow. The student fell to his knees crying in pain and Michelle then lifted her foot into the air and brought it down onto the back of the students head. Michelle then looked up at the other students and smirked and the other students yelled and charged at Michelle. One student went to strike Michelle but Michelle teleported behind the student and kicked him in the back, Michelle then dropped down and punched another student in the privates, Michelle then teleported to another student and gave him a purple nurple. Michelle then took two icicles and bashed them against the student’s head causing the icicles to break. One of the students then grabbed Michelle and Michelle quickly threw her legs out and kicked another student back and then grabbed the student that held her by the head and headbutted him in the face four times. Michelle then grabbed the student by the back of the head and then threw herself forward causing the student to flip over and fall. Michelle then teleported above the student and landed on his chest. The last student remaining got himself up and stood ready to face Michelle. Michelle then formed dual ice blades and the student charged at her. Michelle quickly threw one of her ice blades into the student’s foot and the student screamed in pain as his foot was pinned into the ground. The student then looked up at Michelle as Michelle smiled at him. The student then went to punch Michelle but Michelle teleported away and the student only struck air falling forward. The student then quickly began to look around the hallway, he then bent down and quickly pried the icicle out of his foot and stood back up. Michelle stood in front of the student and grabbed the ice blade and said, “Thanks for holding that.” Michelle then struck the student across the head with the ice blade.
RJ continuously punched Titus in the face with his brass knuckle. Suddenly when RJ went to strike Titus again with his brass knuckle Titus quickly threw a punch as well with his metal arm and RJ’s and Titus’ hands collided. Titus’ metal arm crushed RJ’s fingers against his brass knuckle and the force of the punch broke RJ’s brace knuckles. RJ then jumped off of Titus as he held his hands covering his four fingers that were now broken. Titus stood up and felt the blood on his lip as his wounds began to heal. Michelle held one of her blades up and was going to strike the unconscious student she stood over. “Michelle no” Titus said as he shot a metal blade out of the bottom of his wrist that went through Michelle’s icicle breaking it and then impaling into the wall. “Are you crazy!?” Michelle asked. “I don’t know” Titus answered, “I’ve never been tested. Anyway, no killing students.” “Fine…” Michelle said rolling her eyes as she kicked the student in the gut and then stepped over him and walked over to Titus.Titus and Michelle then looked over at RJ who was laid on his back still holding his broken fingers in pain. “I suppose there is no negotiating with any of you?” RJ asked chuckling silently. “Hey” Titus answered, “It’s not a fight dude, it’s business.” Michelle then walked up to RJ and grabbed his none broken hand and then stabbed an icicle through it causing RJ to scream in pain. Titus then punched RJ in the face knocking him unconscious. “Try to go unconscious” Titus stated, “It will be over quicker then.” “Ok you need to stop repeating what he said back at him” Michelle stated. “It’s called irony” Titus replied, “Is it dramatic irony? I don’t know I’m not that smart.” “Still a moron” Michelle said with a smile. “Thanks Michelle…” Titus relied, “Can always count on you.” “To call you a moron?” Michelle asked. “I was gonna say to help my ass” Titus answered, “But yeah, that works too.”
Titus and Michelle continued to walk down the hallway together and Titus nodded then explained, “You know Michelle, I think you’re right.” “You are a moron?” Michelle asked. “A huge one” Titus answered, “But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about forgetting about Luna, and I think you’re right. I should try to forget about her. I do trust Professor Xavier and honestly, I don’t think I will be seeing her for a while. Who knows the next time I will see her, and I’m sure when I do she will be fine.” “Alright” Michelle replied. “Thanks for the concern Michelle” Titus said slightly shoving her, “Were you even listening?” “I would say yes but you told me I should try to lie less” Michelle replied, “But I agree you should forget about Luna.” “So you were listening?” Titus asked. “Eh, a bit” Michelle stated. “Damn you can be confusing” Titus replied. “Coming from you?” Michelle asked. Titus and Michelle then walked to the front of the school and looked up. “Hey dick!” Michelle yelled up at a kid who was hung on the chandelier by his underwear, “How’s the view!?” Michelle then laughed and walked out the front doors and Titus looked up at the kid and shook his head and followed Michelle out the front doors. “Alright Michelle” Titus said to Michelle, “I have to go find Cobalt. I’ll catch up with you later, try not to kill anyone, too badly.” Titus then walked away. “And you try not to get into any more fights with anyone moron! I won’t have your back!” Michelle then smiled and turned and bumped into Bella and fell to the ground.
“Haha awe, cute nicknames” Bella said standing over Michelle, “The Moron and the Goth Girl.” Ali and Meagan laughed standing at the sides of Bella. Michelle got herself up and dusted the dirt off of her arm. “I must say” Bella said moving her hand in circle, “I really like, that. The whole goth look, it really suits you. Confused, depressed, and suicidal.” “She probably cuts herself” Meagan said to Ali. “Oh of course she does Meagan” Bella replied, “How else do you think she got that tattoo on her shoulder?” Bella then looked past Michelle and watched Titus in the distance disappear into the crowd. “You know for a moron he isn’t too bad looking” Bella said with a smile as she put her hand on her waist, “I wonder why out of all the girls at this school he’s friends with you. Guess he likes the weird ones, seen him talk to that one, furry kid as well.” Bella then walked up to Michelle and poked the tattoo on her shoulder. “I’m confused” Bella said, “Is the X for some type of meaning or is it just because it’s all over the school?” Michelle grabbed Bella’s hand and pushed it away. “Oh” Bella said as she took a step back, “A bit feisty, now are we?” Ali and Meagan smiled at each other. “By the way we heard about the fight by the fountain the other day” Bella explained, “A shame we couldn’t be there, heard it was quite the turnout. You know with your boyfriend starting a riot and all.” “He’s not my boyfriend” Michelle stated. Bella smiled and then asked, “Oh yeah that’s right, didn’t he choose that Luna girl over you?” “It would appear so” Michelle replied, “Although at least I can get a guy near me. When was the last time a guy even looked in your direction?” Michelle then folded her arms and smiled. “Cute” Bella replied, “But if I recall I’ve had twice as many boyfriends as you.” “Yet they keep leaving” Michelle stated, “Hm, I wonder why?” “I break up with them!” Bella answered, “Besides have you even ever had a boyfriend?” Michelle smirked at Bella, then walked up and grabbed a guy by the collar of his shirt and kissed him. Michelle then threw the guy back. “Pick me up at eight tonight.” Michelle said to the guy and then walked back up to Bella, Ali, and Meagan and just smiled. “You were saying?” Michelle asked as she folded her arms again. “You’re disgusting” Bella replied. “Actually that was pretty good…” Ali stated silently. “Shut it Ali” Bella said to Ali. Bella then walked away from Michelle and Ali and Meagan followed. Michelle watched the three girls leave, then rolled her eyes and moaned when they were gone. “I hate bitches” Michelle stated to herself. “I’d say” Cobalt said standing next to Michelle. Michelle screamed and jumped up in fright. “Where did you come from?” Michelle asked. “To be honest I don’t really know” Cobalt explained, “Don’t have much of a memory of my childhood.” “Ok…” Michelle replied, “That’s not really what I meant.” Michelle then looked at Cobalt and Cobalt continued to stare at her. Michelle sighed, “You reallyneed to learn some personal space moron.” “My names not moron” Cobalt explained, “It’s Cobalt.” “Yes, I know moron” Michelle replied, “Well, at least you learned how to speak.” “Sorry for scaring you” Cobalt stated and then walked away. “You didn’t scare me!” Michelle yelled as Cobalt walked away, “I was just, surprised!” Michelle then shook her head, “This is one interesting senior year so far. What’s next I’m put into a team project?” Titus suddenly ran past Michelle yelling, “Cobalt! Wait up! Stop running! No put the nerd’s comic down that’s not a snack!” “Not even through the first month…” Michelle said to herself sighing.
