I12DT - Ice Woman

by **Natalya Romanov** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:58 am

Natalya eyed the suit the Danger Room had reproduced for her, dealing with old memories. But the doctor had insisted that if she was going to get into more 'vigorous' exercise that she wear something like it at least for a little while. This was modeled after the one she had first worn when she started working for SHIELD after her release from prison. It was designed to regulate her temperature, provide her with some protection, and, if what she was suspected was correct, allow SHIELD to completely lock her down if she got out of hand. She'd made sure the Danger Room included no such function in this suit and it was a lot leaner than the suit she'd originally worn having incorporated some advances that technology had made since then. She stepped back into the suit, feeling the confines close around her and the internal cooling kick in.

She frowned as she decided what to do next. "Computer, ice field. Uninhabited." The computer complied, creating the requested scene. She bent down, touching the surface even though she couldn't feel it through the suit. The ice rumbled and her hair faded as she closed her eyes. A giant serpent of ice slithered out of the ice ahead of her. As it came, it grew legs. It's scales slowly became more defined and it began developing a ridge down its back.

A figure sat down in the observation room...observing.

The ice construct stopped in front of Natalya and she began walking around it, inspecting it. "If it's not too cold for you," she said without looking at the observation deck, "you're more than welcome to come in."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Fri Sep 13, 2013 7:50 pm

"I would not be interrupting? Then I shall come," she decided, heading down the stairs.

"Much nicer weather in here, da?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Fri Sep 13, 2013 8:14 pm

"Indeed," she said, tapping one of the construct's forelegs before using her hands to make an adjustment. "Things still going well for you?"

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Fri Sep 13, 2013 10:01 pm

"A bit quiet, but yes. Beginning to adjust well and all."

"So this is what you do?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Sat Sep 14, 2013 7:12 am

"I can just make it really cold, but animating ice is more fun."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Sat Sep 14, 2013 1:59 pm

"I can understand that. Nature takes care of the cold for you anyway, da?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Sat Sep 14, 2013 10:57 pm

"Oh nature isn't capable of getting as cold as I can make things, but yes, usually nature takes care of most of it."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Sun Sep 15, 2013 1:20 am

"I take it you do not just make ice sculpture for art though."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 8:39 am

"It has other uses, yes," she said and the dragon construct scraped the ground with one foot, its claws creating small furrows.

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 2:59 pm

"Very impressive. Why is it, then, we do not have an army of snowmen as our security here?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 3:02 pm

"Because they require some of my attention to control and they don't really see on their own. I could keep an army of snowmen working the grounds, but I wouldn't be able to do anything else."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 3:04 pm

"Ahh. Well, that IS too bad. It would be a waste of your many talents."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 8:07 am

"I appreciate..." The ice dragon stamped the ground in an impatient gesture and 'glared' at Natalya. She frowned back at it, "This... is new."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 1:32 pm

"Bad ice?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 1:50 pm

"I don't know," she said. She clenched a fist and the dragon went back to a rigid statue. She stepped closer to it to give it a good look. "Like I said, they're not supposed to be undirected."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 1:53 pm

"Well, what is 'supposed' to happen rarely is so."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 2:01 pm

"Preaching to the..." That was the moment that the dragon back-handed her. The blow sent her tumbling across the surface. Thankfully the safeties were engaged, so it didn't actually hurt her, but it was still a surprise.

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 4:12 pm

Anastasiya quickly moved to put herself between Natalya and the Ice Sculpture.

"Are you quite alright!?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 4:51 pm

Natalya was slowly picking herself up, "Yeah, I'm alright. Nothing broken." She stared at the construct. "Did it do what I think it did?"

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 8:25 pm

"That highly depends on what you think it did. If you think it just attacked you, than yes."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 8:41 pm

Natalya growled and gestured. Cracks appeared all over the construct and it crumbled into tiny pieces. "Just what I needed. More crap going wrong."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Tue Sep 17, 2013 10:12 pm

"More? What else are has gone wrong?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 7:55 am

"What hasn't lately?" She sighed, "I've only been doing this job for a little bit and I already feel like I need a vacation."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 1:20 pm

"Perhaps you need assistance?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 1:41 pm

"It's possible. My skill set's rather unique though, and it isn't something you just throw in the want-ads."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 2:24 pm

"Feel you have to do it alone, da?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 2:28 pm

"Not precisely that either. It's..." She took a deep breath. "... complicated."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 2:52 pm

"Things often are.

I won't tell."

by **Natalya Romanov** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 5:15 pm

"I appreciate it. The last thing I need is people hearing that my own powers are rebelling."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 5:47 pm

"Is this the first time this has happened to you?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 6:06 pm

"Like this? Never," she said. "In high school they used to mimic my movements sometimes, but they've never turned on me."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 8:33 pm

"Hrm. Could it be something subconcious?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 9:58 pm

"I don't think so, but I don't know. Things have been weird since I froze myself..." She, for lack of a better term, froze as she contemplated what she was saying.

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 10:14 pm

"Froze yourself?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 10:15 pm

"Another long story. Put myself in stasis with a hard freeze so that I could survive some nasty injuries."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 10:17 pm

"And you think that affected your constructs some how?"

by **Natalya Romanov** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 10:23 pm

"Don't know. Never done it before and it's not something the human body's supposed to be able to handle. It's possible I damaged something."

by **Anastasiya Volkoff** » Wed Sep 18, 2013 10:31 pm

"In that case, you should see a doctor."
