Oberon shrugged off the comments and watched the girl leave then he dove into his thoughts for a second he felt something but wasn't sure what it was. The door to the room then opened to the reveal the principal and worried parents. Ofcourse his mother wouldn't have been able to come get him much less heard the phone. As the others filtered out Orberon got up and shook off the dizziness. The principal then pulled him to the side. "Mr. Price your mother was not able to be reached and it seems you have no other contacts. I have arranged for the nurse to take you home as soon as the other kids have been taken care of." Oberon nodded and moved over to the desk sitting in the same chair the girl had. He noticed the purse and as soon as no one was looking he slipped enough money in. The other girl must have needed it with the way he clothes and demor were. Oberon knew she wouldn't accept a hand out so he felt it better this way. "Come along Ronny." The nurse said in a motherly tone. "I'll get you home. We can put your vespa in my truck." The nurse was nice unlike the one at his old school who blammed everything on the government and tried to make homemade cures for everything. [b]Later at the Price Home[/b] He waved the nurse off after parking the vespa on the street. She drove off and Oberon went inside. Going around and into the kitchen to get something to eat and saw the door to the lab was still sealed. The red light still flashing indicating that chemicals and hazardous materials where in use. Oberon sighed and took an apple up to his room. Once he got there he took off his clothes and jumped into his shower. More of what ever had been on his skin was appearing all over his body and it was cold. Some of it seemed like it was forming ice crystals. He scrapped some off and put it in a test tube to examine later. Oberon turned the water on scalding hot and jumped in. The instant he did he felt his body go into shock. Yelling out he crawl out of the shower and lay on the floor. He looked and he had burns down his chest. Welts were forming all along his body and then he felt an icy surge down his spine. The feeling spread across his ribs then down his torso. In his panic he then realized he couldn't move. He looked down and say his skin turning pale. His veins were a brighter blue and the feeling was traveling up to his head. Then he didn't move and his heart beat slowed to nothing, he was frozen. [b]Morning at the Price house.[/b] Oberon woke with a gasp in his bed. Wait how he was in the shower and wait was it morning? His door opened and his mom walked in. Tears streaked down her face. [color=f7976a]"I'm sorry Ron. I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were sick and to come in and find you...you..." she burst into tears and sobbed for a second. He realized she had not seen her cry like this sense dad had died over ten years ago. His mother wasn't an emotional woman but she had her moments that everything in her came out at once. This was one of those times. She cleared her throat and calmed herself "...were on the floor and you were...frozen."[/color] The words hit him like a block of ice. He sat up as she came to sit on the bed. "Mom I'm fine now or atleast I feel better than I ever have been." She shook her head and handed him the papers. Oberon read through the results page to all the tests she had just handed him. "So this sickness has altered my DNA? The genes found that have mixed with my own helix are that of an arctic species of spider!?" Oberon's eyes bugged out. That means that..." [color=f7976a]"That your body chemistry is now altered in ways we don't understand. I also found the substance you put in the test tube. It's like a combination of glycol and liquid nitrogen. It allowed your body to freeze but stay alive. It seems like that it was the catalyst to you altered DNA." She let out a sigh and smiled at her boy. He was ok from what she could tell. She now had to be a scientist.[/color] Oberon ran his fingers through his hair and sighed as well. "I wonder if the others are ok." His mom turned white as her son looked at her and his eyes glowed a pale icy blue. He blinked and it went away. He didn't even know it had happened but at that moment he was reaching out without even knowing it trying to find out if the other that had been through something similar.
