How I would handle Iceman title

I haven't used this in forever, but I was asked this recently and it's been something I've been thinking about for a while and.. well a blog is the only way to explain all of this properly.

 Basically How I would handle the Iceman on-going

 Issue 1 
 Iceman calls up old pal Rogue for road trip to clear head. Rogue agrees that it would be fun and they haven't seen each other in forever. The two start a fun adventure and talk about recent events. Iceman talks to her about being gay and uses his typical humor and jokes through the conversation. Rogue picks up that he feels the X-Men are treating him different, which Bobby eventually admits is probably all in his head. They are attacked randomly by Pyro, who seems to be more powerful than ever before and can create flames, not just manipulate them. He attacks brutally and quickly. Of course, Phoenix is invoked and Pyro captures/delays Rogue. Bobby has to push himself beyond his normal limits, but eventually takes him out. Rogue and Bobby return on road trip.

 Issue 2 
Bobby and Rogue come to a new town. Things feel a little strange and shortly after arriving, Bobby is arrested for a string of robberies in the area, all using ice. Iceman peacefully goes to prison while Rogue tries to figure out what is going on. While Rogue is out looking for clues, the prison is attacked by a female ice villain. She's sexy and flirts with Iceman who is having nothing with it. She has the ability to create ice and control Iceman's ice. they go back and forth and Bobby has to think how to use his powers best to take her down given that his powers don't seem to work normally. He eventually defeats her with a little help from Rogue and the two continue their adventure.  

Issue 3 
Bobby and Rogue are hanging out at a country bar, line dancing and having fun. Bobby starts flirting with a guy who seems really interested. Bobby and the guy he's flirting with decide to head out and go get food. Unfortunately, the guy is actually a telepath and attacks Bobby when they are alone. Telepathic villain uses his powers to try to confuse and disorientate Bobby and convince him he's really straight. Bobby has to confront his past with women and men as well as admit that his coming out wasn't healthy and a tad traumatic. Bobby is able to come to terms with everything and take out the bad guy. He meets up with Rogue, feeling better than he has in a while. Rogue tells him she has to return to the Avengers, but wishes him well. He asks her to let the X-Men know that he's OK and going on.
  
Issue 4 
The return of Cloud! Bobby runs into male Cloud who is on Earth trying to find and stop a young nebula cloud who wants to emulate what Cloud did on accident when Cloud first came to Earth. Male Cloud and bobby have a couple awkward moments and male Cloud explains that he and his female aspect split a few years ago so the nebula clouds could have different experiences. Together they hunt down the young naive nebula cloud and stop it from doing intentionally what Cloud did accidentally. Bobby and Cloud make up in the end and Bobby tells Cloud that he's always loved him and he regrets how things happened. They kiss before they part.

 Issue 5 
Bobby hunts down Northstar to talk about being gay and a mutant. He discovers that Northstar and his husband have divorced. Jean-Paul asks Bobby on a date and they talk about what happened. Jean-Paul admits that the relationship went too fast, too quick and it just didn't work, but that he's excited to be on a date with Bobby. Unfortunately in the middle of the day, a powered up Kyle Jindau, Jean-Paul's now ex-husband, busts in and tries to start a fight. He fires energy all around and is angry that Jean-Paul is moving on so quickly. Jean-Paul and Bobby try to stop Kyle without hurting him and it's basically a big mess of a brawl. Finally they are able to subdue Kyle and Jean-Paul tries to find out what is going on. They discover Kyle was given powers by a mysterious baddie to get Bobby and manipulated into attacking. Kyle and Jean-Paul decide to talk out their problems and Bobby goes to find out who the bad guy is.

 Issue 6 
Bobby wakes up, captured by the new bad guy. Quick flash back of what happened with Bobby being jumped. Bad guy reveals that he hates Bobby because Bobby has always had it easy. Reveals his big plan to ruin Bobby's life by taking his powers and that he's the source of all the attacks on Bobby all this time, using his own powers which can give or enhance other people's powers as well as take a mutant's powers. Bobby and the guy fight as it's clear the bad guy is unhinged and filled with hatred. This is basically just a fight issue but Bobby has to confront this angry and hateful guy.
