Black Widow
“My frozen-food fort had completely melted away, leaving nothing behind but singed, shriveled boxes all around me. The fire hadn’t touched me, thanks to my Ice magic, but what I could see of the restaurant was a scorched, sooty, ashy mess. It looked as if the fire had swept right up against my elemental Ice igloo, burning everything in its path, before finally running out of fuel and dying down, thanks to the sprinklers in the ceiling.
They were the source of the water on my face, and I tilted m...y head up, letting the spray wash over me. If nothing else, the warm drops sliding down my skin told me that I was still alive.

Everything was a scorched, blackened, and now soggy mess. All the dish towels, foodstuffs, aprons, and napkins had been reduced to piles of flaky gray ash, while most of the silverware had melted to the floor and was now stuck there, as if someone had glued down all the forks, knives, and spoons as part of some weird abstract-art project.MoreLess
