Today, Lex Luthor has business with a hospital sponsored by LexCorp, in the Breakstone region.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The armored Limo is the first sign of the visit, with hospital staff already waiting to greet the Man of Tomorrow.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Once up to the entrance, the engine on the black limo goes idle, and a caucasian blonde woman steps out of the drivers seat, opening a door in the back. Out of that door steps another woman, this one with a darker tone, and black hair. They both survey the area briefly, before the blonde looks inside the door and gives a nod.&lt;br&gt;His few second later, and Lex Luthor leave the Limo, and gives a nod to the two, &quot;Mercy, Hope. Same as usual.&quot; The two women go behind their employer as Lex starts to walk over to the hospital staff, giving smiles and warm handshakes, &quot;Thank you for seeing me on such short notice. I know you&#039;ve been busy with the backbone down for so long.&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell begins walking down the street, slightly hunched over, cradling one hand in the other. The hand she&#039;s favoring seems to be frozen in a large, roughly circular chunk of ice, as well, which may be the source of her discomfort. However, the woman is worryingly thin, deathly pale, and wearing some kind of strange, form-fitting jumpsuit (that does her skinny frame no favors). With Xavier&#039;s School nearby, odds are, she&#039;s a mutant.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The woman doesn&#039;t spot the limo and small crowd of bigwigs and guards until she&#039;s just a dozen yards off, at which point, she pauses and looks up wordlessly.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:92|Lex Luthor (92)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;The young woman walking over gets the attention of Lex with a side glance. Then, he&#039;s looking to the hospital administration, &quot;I&#039;ll see you inside, but you might want to get a doctor who can deal with hypothermia out here, maybe.&quot; lex gives with a side head gesture to Maya.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then, Lex looks in her direction. &quot;Are you alright, young lady?&quot; Lex asks with a concerned tone. &quot;I don&#039;t wish to presume, as we&#039;re near that school for people with abilities.&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell stammers for a moment. &quot;Wh-...N-No, I, uh...I-It&#039;s--&quot; She pauses for a moment and clears her throat, before finding her voice. &quot;I-I hurt myself, and just...I froze it s-so I wouldn&#039;t...um, bleed.&quot; She turns her hand around to show the group. There&#039;s a series of small wounds across the back of her hand, as if hit with some kind of shrapnel. Without the ice, it&#039;d definitely be trailing blood behind her. And even though it&#039;s slowly beginning to warm up, the woman&#039;s breath still seems to come out in frigid gasps. Her gaze trains on Lex. &quot;Y-...You&#039;re, uh...Lex Luthor,&quot; she states plainly.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:92|Lex Luthor (92)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;&quot;It sounds like this young lady needs medical attention.&quot; Lex Luthor gives, just loudly enough for the staff to ear, &quot;Please, consider her medical bills paid by me. That looks painful.&quot; Lex walks over then, to Maya. &quot;I&#039;m Lex Luthor, CEO of LexCorp.&quot; He offers his hand for the non-encased one, &quot;Some call me the Man of Tomorrow. It&#039;s a pleasure to meet you. May I know you name?&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell blinks up to Lex for a few moments (though the woman&#039;s still definitely tall in her own right) and shakily offers her hand to Lex&#039;s. Thankfully, her right one is the one that&#039;s fine. &quot;Uh, M-...Maya. Sir. I&#039;m sorry, I-I didn&#039;t mean to, uh, interrupt. Why are you...paying for th-I mean, i-it&#039;s nothing too big, just...messing around with ice...&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:92|Lex Luthor (92)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Because I like to help and improve peoples lives, Maya.... and paying for your medical bill for such a small thing seems like a good use of my money.&quot; Lex offers, before he shakes her hand.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then, a doctor is outside, heading for Maya, &quot;Young woman, let me take a look at that.&quot; A man in his fourties, looks like, comes out and kneels, offering to look it over.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;If you&#039;d prefer I not, I would very much insist on it. But, it is your choice, after all.&quot; Lex Luthor gives her a warm smile. The charisma oozes off the man, especially in situations like this.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell looks over to the doctor and offers him her ice-encased hand to look over, before turning to Lex. &quot;Oh, no! It&#039;s--I-It&#039;s fine, I just...uhm...it was just unexpected, thank you!&quot; She turns toward the doctor, then, &quot;I...I was practicing with my...erm, powers--I-I&#039;m a mutant, uh, frost powers--and...I tried flinging, like...frost shards with my hand, but...i-it kind of hit the back of my hand, and I don&#039;t think they&#039;ll...uh, melt. Because I&#039;m...cold.&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:92|Lex Luthor (92)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;The doctor looks over Mayas&#039; hand, &#039;I&#039;ll have to be able to touch it if you want anything done with it, Miss. You&#039;ll probably at least need stitches.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lex looks on, before he looks to the hospital entrance, and nod to it. &quot;Perhaps we should take this inside, then?&quot; Lex looks to Maya, asking the question.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell looks over to the doctor, then to Lex, then back to the doctor. &quot;Uh, right, I c-...I can&#039;t, ah, melt ice, but...I mean, we can...run it over some hot water?&quot; She winces. &quot;J-Just make sure it doesn&#039;t...ah, touch my skin. I burn easily.&quot; She purses her lips for a moment, then prepares to follow the doctor.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:92|Lex Luthor (92)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;The man leads Maya into the hospital, if she allows it. Lex follows soon after.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They&#039;re taken in the direction of intake, &quot;I&#039;m paying for this out of pocket. I don&#039;t think she needs an intake, Sir.&quot; The Doctor looks like he&#039;s about to argue, but they are instead taken to a patient room. &quot;I&#039;ll be right back, We have a machine for handling hypothermia patients.&quot; And the Doctor leaves.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then, Lex sits in a chair, looking to Maya, &quot;Your ability is ice control, then?&quot; He inquires.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell quickly calls after the doctor. &quot;W-Wait, wait, no, it&#039;s not--!&quot; But the doctor&#039;s already gone. She sighs and sheepishly turns her gaze back to Lex. &quot;Uh, y-...yeah. I mean, kind of. I can control water, but...uh, not without freezing it. And once it&#039;s cold, I...kind of lose my grip on it.&quot; She lowers her gaze to her lap. &quot;I&#039;ve been trying to learn to...a-actuallly control ice. It&#039;s hard to describe.&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:92|Lex Luthor (92)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I believe he means melting off the ice, not that you&#039;re actually hypothermic.&quot; Lex smiles to Maya. &quot;You don&#039;t present symptoms of hypothermia, but people encased in ice? There are machine for that.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then, Lex steeples his fingers, &quot;Interesting... so you take all the heat out of something, and you can control it with your mental processes after?&quot; Lex continues to inquire.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell blinks a few times, then drops her gaze shyly again. &quot;Oh. A-And, uh, no, it&#039;s...I can control -water-, but as I...control it--yeah, I guess I...just kinda take the heat out of it. But once it&#039;s actually...-ice-, I...start to, er, lose m-my...&#039;grip&#039; on it, so to speak.&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:92|Lex Luthor (92)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;There&#039;s a pause, before Maya gets a nod from Lex, &quot;You give me the impression, Maya, of a girl just starting out with her life... trying to figure herself out, and not used to dealing with people. Am I correct so far?&quot; Lex asks, warmly. His tone gives no judgments... just observations.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell seems to hesitate, gaze still lingering down on her lap. But eventually, she nods. &quot;Y-...Yeah, that&#039;s...That&#039;s correct. Sorry, I&#039;m not, uh, really good with...people.&quot; She clears her throat.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:92|Lex Luthor (92)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I&#039;ve known people like you, Maya. It&#039;s nothing to be ashamed of.&quot; Lex Luthor gives in reply, &quot;Would you like something to eat while we wait for them?&quot; He asks.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell straightens up for a moment, then self-consciously wraps her arms around her middle. &quot;Oh, uh, thanks, but...I-I mean, don&#039;t they tell you to, l-like, not eat before...doing stuff at the hospital, or...?&quot; She pauses for a moment, then, &quot;Actually, I...think that&#039;s...just surgery. This is--I mean, maybe pluc out the ice, and then stitches, so...&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:92|Lex Luthor (92)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;&quot;That&#039;s before surgery or giving blood.&quot; Lex continues, before he looks outside the room, where Mercy and Hope wait. &quot;Hope, can you get the young lady here a nice meal?&quot; She gives a nod, and Lex moves back inside, &quot;There.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s around this time a machine is wheeled in by that same doctor. It&#039;s got heating pads, a tube construction, and a few other accessories. &quot;Now then... this will melt the ice without serious any damage to your hands, young lady. Just place your hand in the tube.&quot; The doctor points to it. It&#039;s obviously designed for limbs.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell hesitates and draws away from the machine, but slowly brings her hand into it. &quot;I-I&#039;m serious, my skin&#039;s...l-like, naturally cold.&quot; She pauses, then, &quot;Is it...ah, safe if we...melt the ice i-inside my hands? I mean, it&#039;s not warm enough to melt it already, so...&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:92|Lex Luthor (92)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;&quot;This machine is very selective about where it applies heat, Miss. You&#039;ll be fine.&quot; The doctor replies, before he hits a switch, operates a dial, and plugs it in.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The inside of the tube contracts around the ice, and it slowly begins to melt, &quot;Since you&#039;re not in any danger of hypothermia, this will just let us get to your hand.&quot; The doctor continues as he monitors the machine.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lex watches curiously, &quot;Are you able to control your movement when encased in that ice?&quot; Lex asks.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell winces and squirms lightly as the machine starts, but quickly settles down. &quot;I, uhm...Kind of? I mean, I-I can&#039;t -move-, because there&#039;s ice in the way, but...i-it doesn&#039;t hurt me because...well, I&#039;m...uh, used to cold temperatures.&quot; She pauses for a few seconds, then, &quot;Why, uh...Wh-Why are you asking?&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:92|Lex Luthor (92)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I was just curious, Maya. I don&#039;t often meet mutants from your school, I&#039;m so busy.&quot; Lex gives in answer, before he smirks, &quot;it just reminds me of a design issue on a project I&#039;m working on. Encasement is particularly important in it. So, you can make ice... and then control it with your mental processes.&quot; A pause, &quot;You wouldn&#039;t happen to be the person in that big ice golem thing a few months ago, would you? There was news about something like that popping up on the east coast.&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell freezes for a few seconds, then shakes her head. &quot;Uh, n-...no, like I said, I-I can&#039;t, uh, control ice. Just water. But ice related powers, er, tend to be common, so...&quot; She shrugs. &quot;I-I dunno.&quot; She&#039;s prepared a stock answer in the event someone might ask her about the Golem, but she hadn&#039;t expected it to be someone so powerful and influential.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:92|Lex Luthor (92)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;&quot;This is true enough. That Iceman fellow is probably testing new ice forms.&quot; Lex points out, then.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He even sounds like he believes it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then, Hope comes back, with two plates meals. One is given to Lex. The other, to Maya, &quot;Consider it on me as well, Maya.&quot; Lex gets to digging in.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The ice block on her hand is starting to melt... but there&#039;s no residue.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> :&#039;&#039;&#039;{{#var:195|Maya Caldwell (195)}} has posed:&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br&gt;Maya Caldwell nods briefly to Lex, then looks over to Hope as she enters with the food. Normally, she&#039;d assume that wouldn&#039;t be allowed, but this is Lex Luthor, after all! She glances down at her thawing hand, then sighs. &quot;Sorry, I-I just...kind of panicked, I guess. I probably, uh, didn&#039;t...need that much ice...&quot;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> }}</div>
