Guest Appearance(s):
- Ice (as a spirit)
Comment(s):
- As this story ties in with Sovereign Seven, it is not part of DCU continuity.
Synopsis: - Fire and Cruiser are involved in an accident which leaves them cold, tired and snowbound. They swap their life stories, and as Fire begins to drift into unconsciousness (which would be fatal following her concussion), she sees a vision of her late friend Ice, who helps her decide to live.
