The hotel had been nice. But now it seemed everyone was making the university their home. Bobby had been wandering about the park - glaring at the castle. Someone had already claimed it. Dammit! So, the mutant found his way to the campus.
And it was getting so hot. Bobby had stripped off his shirt and jacket. Now he sat on the steps of the visitor's center and sighed. He cooled the air close to his skin, but it just wasn't enough. Staring at his hands, the young man concentrated and his fingertips turned to ice. Soon his hands, up his arms, down his chest, torso, legs, feet. Then up his neck and his head.
Bobby blinked as he slowly stood up, feeling entirely cold and heavier. "Awesome," he whisper in awe. His breath slowly turned to steam in the hot sun. His pants were getting wet from the condensation.
He didn't care if anyone was watching. But after a couple of minutes, Bobby began to feel slightly light-headed. But not feeling like a sweaty hot mess was good.
Well, not for long. The light-headedness was turning into dizziness.
