Prelude to a problem

After a while Liz, Serena and Jack told their stories, Zoe also tells a little about her superhero life and Steve, who was listening to everything restlessly, decides to talk.

"Zoe, why the hell did you tell Liz you were a superhero?" asked Steve.

"I also want to know, from what Liz told you, you guys had a fight yesterday, are you crazy?" asked Ed.

"Yesterday Liz was out of control, I was afraid she was going to get hurt or worse, i didn't have many options," Zoe replied.

"You could have knocked her out," Ed said.

"I think you were wrong to tell the truth," said Roxy.

"Hey, why all of you think she should keep lying?" asked Liz.

"Don't be a hypocrite, you were also lying to everyone" Steve said.

"But I'm surprised, I still don't know why you two decided to reveal your secret identities," said Roxy.

"I have a question, have you guys ever killed or injured anyone?" asked Ed.

"No" all three villains replied.

"What do you expect me to do now?" shouted Liberty scaring everyone.

"What ?" asked Zoe.

"Now that I know that you three are villains, what should I do? I don't want to tell my father or the police, but I feel obliged to. You could end up destroying cities or killing people" asked Liberty.

"I know the right thing to do is tell the authorities, but I'm not going to turn my friends in. I thought that if I sent a threatening message like I did with Ben's family they might give up," Zoe replied.

"What do you mean, do you have anything to do with the attack on Ben's family?" asked Liz.

"Yes," replied Zoe.

"Wait, is Ben a super villain too?" asked Steve.

"Yes" replied Jack.

"Why did you attack Ben's family?" asked Liz.

Zoe explains what happened, everyone is shocked to find out about Ben's family situation, Liz thought about calling her father, but Zoe stops her and tells her to forget about it.

"So what's to do now, I thought we were here to talk to Zoe and get her to tell the truth, but now with all this discovery I'm not sure what to do?" asked Ed.

"I wanted Zoe to give up being a hero and become a villain, so I called everyone here to use our table of pros and cons to get Zoe to stop being a hero," Liz said.

"You know we used this as a kid to rank movies and cartoons," Steve said.

"What is this table?" asked Liberty doubtfully.

"You create pros and cons, put it on the board, then we all vote, in the end you add up all the points and it's decided which is the best choice" Ed replied.

"Sounds silly," Serena said.

"I think Zoe is following her dream," Steve said.

"One day we're going to have to face each other and I don't want to hurt you," Liz said.

"You forgot that for a few days you tried to kill me, almost killed a bunch of innocent people, destroyed movie theaters, stole money from banks and almost got killed by your boyfriend," Zoe said.

Zoe's clock starts flashing, Zoe sees the clock and realizes it was an emergency.

"Why are you checking the time, our discussion is boring?" asked Serena.

"I know the conversation is serious, but we can save that for another day, I'll have to leave," Zoe said.

"Why, do you have something more important to do?" asked Liberty.

"My watch indicated an emergency situation, it looks like a villain who flooded one city is threatening to flood 4 cities. I have to go to help with the evacuation of the city and if something bad happens save people" said Zoe.

"Which cities?" asked Roxy.

Zoe activates her watch, a hologram appears showing the villain's images, the names of the cities and numbers of people in each city.

"I have family in this city" said Serena, Liz and Steve while pointing each to a different city.

"I have to go," Zoe said, climbing up.

Serena, Steve and Liz call their parents telling them about the flood, their parents say they are carrying out an evacuation of the cities closer to the sea and what is on TV, Jack turns on the TV and everyone sits on the couch to watch. Zoe puts on her uniform, goes downstairs and says goodbye to her friends, on the way out everyone wishes them good luck. Zoe quickly arrives at her destination, she meets the heroes who were going to help with the evacuation and receives instructions from government officials.

"It's a pleasure to work with you" said some of the heroes.

I used some school buses that were at a school in the city, put a bunch of people inside and used my car with three reinforced ropes to hang the bus on my car. I flew with the car, put the bus to a nearby mountain and left them there, repeated this process with the help of 2 other heroes 7 more times.

"So, did you find more people or can we go somewhere else?" asked Zoe using a comm device on the mountain.

Unbeknownst to Zoe, reporters were filming the entire situation, her friends were all watching on TV and some villains who were in some of the cities that would be hit were getting ready to cause trouble.
