Your mother will kill me

"It's going to take a while to fully analyze, I'll show you my little lair," Joe said.

"Here is the lab, on the left is the equipment room and on the right is the invention room, that big area up ahead is the testing room, and this stairs is the exit" says Joe leading me to the exit.

"Why are you wanting me to leave?" asked Zoe confused.

"Seriously, your mom will kill me if she finds out you were here, it's too dangerous" Joe replied.

"But I want to help" says Zoe returning to the lair.

"What is it ?" asked Zoe, pointing to a project on the table.

"It's a project I got while I was part of a group called Next Horizon," Joe replied.

"What's in here?" asked Zoe pointing to the mini fridge.

"It's where I keep various substances and formulas that I acquired in my villainy days," Joe replied.

"Actually, I got this mini fridge from a super villain well-known, he was called Ice Cold," says Joe.

"Are you kidding me, Ice Cold, that Ice Cold who was the enemy of Lady Liberty, Rox and the Champions of Justice?" asked Zoe in disbelief.

"Yes, that one," Joe replied.

"Ice Cold is the only villain who managed to injure 3 great heroes and put them in a coma, it's said that because of him Lady Liberty retired" says Zoe.

"It wasn't because of him, she retired because someone threatened to leak her secret identity to the public," says Joe.

"How do you know that ?" asked Zoe.

"I was the one who threatened," Joe replied.

"I found out her identity after she killed Ice Cold's wife," says Joe.

"Wait, Lady Liberty is not an assassin," says Zoe.

"Yes, in an attempt to capture him some heroes set an ambush, in the end they killed her and made Ice Cold take the blame" said Joe going to the lab.

"After that I decided to investigate her, I found her name, I even found out that she was married to Rox", says Joe going to the computer.

"One night Ice Cold planned to end it, he waited for her in front of his house and after that they both fought to the death, the result was Ice Cold's death and several injuries" says Joe looking at the analysis results.

"What's the result?" asked Zoe.

"It seems that the new formula, if it works, will allow people to transform and untransform, in addition to not killing after 2 hours. However, depending on the person's organism, it will end up dying", says Joe.

"I think the right thing to do is tell the police or some superhero to resolve this situation," Zoe replied.

"I'll do that once I find out how he has access to the original ChimeraX formula," says Joe.

"He can make new victims," Zoe said.

"I have a plan, don't worry,he it won't hurt anyone else," Joe said.

Joe takes the ChimeraX from the machine and asks me to store it in the mini fridge, when I put it back I noticed that I had a bottle with the name: Ice Cold formula updated and another one with the name: Wind 1.

"Joe, do you have the formula that gave Ice Cold powers?" asked Zoe curiously.

"Yes, it was one of the things that Ice Cold left behind, this formula was made to be safer using his blood, he planned to give it to his wife," says Joe.

"What is this Wind 1?" asked Zoe, showing the glass container.

"It was a formula I created with Ice Cold's blood to increase his powers, after 700 tests I kept it" replied Joe going to turn off a light he left in the testing room.

Suddenly there was an earthquake and I ended up falling to the ground, when I realized there was green smoke in the air and the broken glass container next to me. I saw that Joe was running and I passed out.
