Synopsis for "The Fuse!"

Bobby	All my life my folks have been trying to make me normal! You know the routine -- get a good job, marry a nice girl, have 2.6 children, ten grand in the bank, life insurance, car insurance, insurance insurance...! But there was one tiny problem standing between me and the norm --
Mary, Bobby's cousin	You're a mutant!
Iceman	Heck -- you figured that out when we were still kids! The very fact of what I am has always prevented me from being what Mom'n'Dad want me to be! I've seen the other side, Mary! Part of me really gets off on adventuring... Playing "Iceman -- Defender of Freedom!"
Mary	But?
Iceman	Part of me doesn't! I'm torn between hiding under the covers and leaping into the abyss.
