Killer Frost

Several months later; Anastasia's pov:

Numb. That was all I felt. It's dark. Why is it so dark? Pain. It's hot. Too hot. I let out a gasp as I shot upright, my left arm latched onto the nearest person to me. A scream of pain as the person yanks his arm out of my grasp. His skin was marred where I had grabbed him, as if it had been burned. That's new...I think. I can't remember. Why can't I remember? I'm surrounded by people I don't know. Doctors, I think. I'm lying down on a cold metal slab.

I run my hand over the slab and draw back my hand as frost spreads on the area I touched it. Ok, that's definitely not normal. Or is it? What do I know? You know how I mentioned it was hot earlier? Of course you do, you were there! Sorry. Yeah...now it feels like I'm burning. I climb off the slab and people move as my vision goes black and I collapsed.

Time skip:
I wake up, but this time I'm lying down on a bed of snow. I get up and walk over to the man who stood on the other side of the door. "Who are you?" My voice sounds dry and metallic in the crisp cold air.

"My name is Doctor Strange and I am your Father."

"Then why don't I look like you?" My hair is short and curly. He's bald. I have unnaturally blue eyes, his are brown. I'm pale, he's not. His face is round , mine's more ...pointy.

"Father is ...a relative term. I suppose creator would be more accurate."

"No."

"No?"

"No, you didn't create me. You may have given me life, but my actions are what define me."

"Of course my dear. Do you remember anything?" I try to focus, my mind reaching out to anything before I woke up. Blood. Water. A blurry face with glasses. A little girl with dirty blond hair. A blurry reflection in the mirror which I guessed used to be me. That's all that remains of my scattered thoughts.

"My eyes used to be...green?"

"Yes. Unfortunately, due to your ... condition, they have changed."

"What did you do to me? Something tells me that I can be a real killer when I'm angry," I start as cold mist emerges from my hands. "It's about to get really frosty in here."

"You, my dear, have determined your new name. Killer Frost, all will be explained shortly."
