Once upon a time, there was a girl.
With ice powers.
She was warm in the winter and cool in the summer - she could dress how she liked. The boys were disappointed, but this was Paragon. It wasn't like they didn't have other skirts to chase.
And then, one day, her field team was asked to chase some Freaks - some very crazy Freaks, that wanted to blow up the giant nuclear reactor at the center of the same city they lived in.
A terrifying thought, and an utterly miserable day - strenuous physical activity in jeans and a sweater while being bombarded by atomic radiation would have anyone ready to stick their head in a freezer for a few minutes.
And then it got worse - because when they stepped outside, in the middle of February in Rhode Island, she was still sweltering.
She doesn't freeze things, anymore. She melts them, instead. It's easy, when it's so hot out. Don't you think it's hot out? She doesn't dress like this for fun, you know - the drool is disgusting.
Well, okay, yes, she can kind of make ice, still. It just doesn't last. Hot Ice never does, after all.
