Mission 1: Iron Man VS Killer Frost.

Clara Jones


She disarmed the man with the knife. The knife froze the second it was fully in her hand. That scared the men and they tried to run away. "Now what? Running away from a little girl? You were so strong just a second ago?" Clara raised an ice wall, blocking the alley and everybody inside... "Once you have seen this, I cannot let you escape.. In fact, I cannot let you live either!" She took a step forward, shortening the distance between herself and one of the attackers. She put her finger on his forehead, turning him in an ice statue. The others, she impaled with icicles. "Killed by ice-cream. What a way to die!" She picked her book from the ground and continued on her way.

Alex Mercer


As Alex was going on with his duties, ADAM spoke in his earpiece. "Temperature spike detected. Drone inbound to target location" The concerning news came at a bad time. "Great! How is the status on the suit going, ADAM?" Alex felt like this was going to get interesting quick. However his primary suit was damaged and he had to wear something a little bit... different. "Repairing. 40% completed!" ADAM answered, keeping his replies short. "That's unfortunate. Alright, I guess I'll need to wear something else for this party." He rotated the dial of the watch again, changing some numbers on it. The light on his chest shined through his clothes, and yet another suit assembled around it....


"ADAM, I need a maneuverable light suit that can withstand cold" Alex whispered, making sure he was now nearing the place, where the Cryokinetic metahuman was. "Midas incoming!" ADAM noted, as the space suit started disassembling again, and a new, golden suit assembled over Alex's body. "I guess we should knock!" He raised his hand and Repulsor blasted his way inside, certain that the metahuman inside was not friendly! "Knock, knock!" the augmented voice was accompanied by the Repulsor blast and rubble.

Clara Jones


Clara was in the apartment, and she was reading her book. As the door disappeared along with the whole wall, her attention was caught by the man in the golden suit. "I've heard of a man in an iron suit... But really didn't expected to be a piece of scrap metal." Even if she knew she was cornered she wasn't showing signs fear. In fact the person who was standing in front of her was just a man in a suit... Actually she was angry, because just a month ago she finished repairing her apartment. After that she got up and left the book on the chair. "So, what do you want from me, Tin-man?" She still had the arrogance in her eyes, and the fact the man entered her home in this way didn't helped much. She wanted to tear him into pieces... literally. Of course, after she freezes him to death.

Everything was set for a showdown between the two. The man in an iron suit, against the girl of ice.

"Tin man? That was cold! Even by your standards!" Alex made a joke, not expecting a woman to be his adversary. He now had a conflict. He was about to be beaten up by a girl, a meta-human and a killer, and the main reason was that he cannot bring himself to harm a woman. "ADAM?" Alex questioned his advisor. "She appears to be able of Cryokenesis, the ability to manipulate cold, not only on a cellular but on molecular level. There is no way you can apprehend her, without severe damage to either of you. You have to fight her from a distance, Sir!" ADAM wasn't helping much, although his advises could help Alex build a strategy. "I cannot let you go around town, killing people! How about you come quietly and we avoid killing each other?"

Clara started laughing after she heard the last thing she said. "You what? A big man in a suit of armor is afraid of a girl? Dude, I've seen a lot, but that's the cherry on top!" She decided to continue his joke. "I do NOT have a reason to surrender. Not even scared of death. Phah, as if I will die. How about you, Tin-man?"

 

[Gegawat]

"Have it your way then!" Alex raised his hand and the Repulsor on his arm charged up, ready to send a blast in her way. Of course he would reduce the power, to make sure the blast doesn't kill, but stun, so he could be able to handle her properly. In fact the man knew about the meta-human prison of Iron Heights, where super villains were kept. She was not gonna hurt anybody in there. She was right about one thing though... Alex was afraid. Not from her, but from the fact that he would never forgive himself if he kills her!

 

[Crimson YaMi]

Clara don't have any information about her opponent, so she had to experiment. As the man launched the blast she threw few icicles aiming at the blast with the idea to make him evade so she can use it as an opportunity to attack or to freeze his arm. She knew that probably gonna make him shoot. She wasn't sure how he will react, but those were the 3 situations she had in her mind. She was counting seconds, so she would be able to gather information at least for this. Clara indeed wasn't one of the smartest, but when it comes to her own pride - she would protect it no matter what.

 

[Gegawat]

For Alex's surprise, the ice shards didn't melt from the blast. They were just deflected, one landing in the wall behind him, instantly freezing large area of it, as soon as it hit. The second one landed on the ground in front of him, again freezing a large area. The third one hit him in the knee, freezing most of his shin plate and the thigh plate. The red warning light came on, causing Alex to break off that module, exposing his own business suit behind it. "ADAM, I need a leg!" Alex spoke to his assistant. Soon enough a large metal object appeared on top of them, with several parts flying off from it, forming a new leg. The sphere was a source of spare parts during combat. It stayed outside the battle zone, far enough to not be dragged in, but close enough, to provide quick support. "That wasn't very nice!" Alex said, as he fired up his feet Repulsors, going in the air, to be sure he was out of her reach. He then made a couple of circles around her, firing several weaker Repulsor blasts her way, in order to keep her occupied and distracted, so he can make a move.

 

[Crimson YaMi]

"Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it." Clara fell into her opponent's trap. She started dodging the blasts. She didn't wanted to experiment how powerful they were, so she tried to stay away from them. She formed 2 more icicles in her right hand and prepared to throw them if needed. Making walls will drain her energy too fast, so she decided not to zone him. She saved her energy to attack and even to protect herself if needed. The man in the armor wasn't someone she wanted to lose from. And after she saw his suit behind the armor - she won't forgive herself if she lose from, what she was now certain was, just an ordinary human.

 

[Gegawat]

Alex noticed the icicles. If they were the same as the ones before, his plan just went to the gutter. He was planning on shooting her, until she loses enough focus for him to swoop in and knock her out. But now she could just jam one of those in his suit, freezing him. And that would cost him his life. If the armor freezes he will be trapped inside. "That's it!" As he thought of the possible outcome, he stumbled upon the perfect plan. His suit freezes on impact, so, he could trap her inside one of his suits. She wouldn't have the skill needed to operate one of them, and besides, ADAM wouldn't allow that. In fact, if a suit landed on her, and ADAM powers it down, she would effectively be trapped inside, as those suits are heavy. "ADAM, prepare the heaviest suit you have!" Alex instructed his assistant. "Affirmative. Mk. 38 Incoming!" ADAM answered.


Soon enough a large hunky blue suit flew inside, and fell apart. As Alex kept distracting the woman, IGOR assembled itself over her. "Greetings, Mrs. Frost" ADAM's voice echoes in both of Alex's and now Clara's suit. "Powering the MK. 38 down!" The lights of the eyes and the arc reactor in the chest getting dimmer until they were off, showed that IGOR was now without power. Weighing in as much as a family saloon car, the suit couldn't be moved by anybody, apart from probably She-Hulk. Alex approached the now powerless suit, knocking on the head piece. "Knock knock! You calmed down now?"

 

[Crimson YaMi]

That was unexpected. In her panic, Clara tried to escape, even to freeze it and then to break it. None of this were useful. Besides, right now she was not thinking rationally. "Can't believe I've fallen into your cheap trick..." Clara was far from being calm. She was angry, and probably lost her sanity as she realized the situation she was in. Right now even her confidence in herself was on its way to fall apart. That angered her even more. Again she tried to freeze and then - to try breaking the suit. She wasn't ready to admit her defeat.

 

[Gegawat]

"Cheap trick?" He said, feeling a bit offended. "The cost of the Mark 38 is $572 million." ADAM intervened. "Yes, thank you, ADAM! Now, about the actual cost of your capture. You have at least 5 bodies behind you, frozen solid in ice. Even though they have criminal records, that makes you a murderer. Now, do you know what is the sentence for a murder? 25 to life in prison!" Alex let that sink in for a minute. "And you are a meta! They will give you death sentence. You want to die so badly?" Alex was again angry, but this time it wasn't about the expensive suit. It was about the girl actually throwing her life away. "You have a gift. And what do you do? You abuse it! Look at me, I'm just an ordinary man. I have to build my superpower. Take that suit away, and what am I? And you have this cool (pun intended) power, and you go around to kill people with that? WHY?"

 

[Crimson YaMi]

Clara chilled a bit so she would be able to talk. "I'm just treating them the same way they treated me in the past." She hated mentioning that word. She hated the past before she obtained her powers, as well as every person connected to it. "People forced me to kill. They always have looked down on me. The moment I obtained those powers, the tables have turned pretty quickly. You protect them, because they haven't done anything bad to you, right? What if they tried to kill you? Will you be still on their side? I just want to show them the same pain they caused to me."

 

[Gegawat]

Alex wondered what could have happened that would she end up like this. Then he remembered Tony's story. As everybody else thought that Alex was in fact Tony, he decided to use this to his advantage. "I was held captive by people, who tried to kill me, using my own weapons. I have a shrapnel, that is crawling into my heart. I escaped them by making this suit, then used it, to correct the wrongs that I have done. You chose your own path, you don't let others chose it for you!" Alex used Tony's story to try and convert the girl. But deep down he knew she was right. What if people did the same to Alex? What would he do?


"The task force is moving in, sir!" ADAM informed Alex about the anti meta-human task force operatives that were now moving in, in order to apprehend Killer Frost. "I'll leave you to the task force." He fired up his feet Repulsors, and flew away, leaving Killer Frost trapped inside IGOR. The task force couldn't move it even if they wanted to. Eventually they would call back for help. By then, Alex would have devised a plan to keep the girl under control. He sympathized with her. Being mistreated turned her into a monster, so the right treatment may turn her the other way around. He thought about ways to place her in rehab and turn the villain into a hero. However he couldn't think how.


The arrival of the task force spelled the end of the freedom for Killer Frost. The task force used the suit as a mobile prison for her, moving her around, until they reached Iron Heights. There, she was outfitted with the suppression caller that basically turned her back into an ordinary human. There were many more like her in the prison, and all of them were much more dangerous and vicious than her. It was going to be clear that her place isn't here quite quickly. As she was given a prison number and shown to her cell, the wardens locked her and left her inside, until it was time for her trial. With the villain apprehended, Iron Man had completed his mission. But Alex Mercer still had work to do.
