Zoller recognizes the man as the famous Delta and gulps nervously. "Radioactive materials...?" he mutters. He doesn't know what to say because he doesn't want to reveal what he's working on, but at the same time he doesn't wanna lie only to be proved to be a lier later on. He remains silent for a long time because of his current insecurity.
"Answer him! Are you a new partner of Foxx?" Nachi asks with a serious and irritated tone.
"Foxx? I don't know any Foxx," Zoller responds. "Listen, I'm just a simple university professor," he says, hoping they'd leave him alone.

Delta glances over at Naturee, "Does Foxx have a history of bringing in other scientists, similar to the good doctor here?" he inquires. Either way he puts a note into his suit's computer to keep watch over this guy. You never know when a scientist can go bad in a world like this, and working with radioactive materials tends to be a recipe for disaster, "And also, what was your name again sir?"

"I've seen Foxx recruit all sorts of scum back in London," Nachi says, still glaring at Zoller. "It wouldn't surprise me if this man is a new goon from around these parts." She walks up very close to Zoller and speaks with a quieter but quite intimidating tone: "If you don't give us Foxx' location I might have to burn your lab down."
"No, no, no, you don't wanna do that. With the things I'm working with, something terrible could happen if things started exploding... Err... I mean... please just leave me alone. I've done nothing wrong. My name is Lionel Zoller. I've never heard of any Foxx." He looked terrified.

Delta puts a hand on her shoulder, "Naturee, we don't know for sure if Dr. Zoller here works for him. I have him in my database, and I'll keep an eye on him, but don't threaten the man. And besides," his visor drops over his eyes, "We still have another lead," he nods to the professor, "Apologies for the intrusion, Doctor Zoller."

"Fine," says Nachi and backs away from Zoller. As she does so she gestures with her fingers by her eyes that she too will be keeping an eye on him.
Zoller lets out a small sigh of relief. "It's... quite alright, Delta," he says, still somewhat shaky. "I understand that you're only doing your job."
"Alright, let's get out of here," says Nachi. "If the last lead turns out to be nothing, we'll be right back here, Doctor."

Delta waves, "See you soon, Doc!" After having Naturee mount him again, they move on to their final lead... *Delta and Naturee move to Foxx's hideout*

[[NEXT DAY]]
Vesper made her way to Dr. Zoller's lab, her hands still messed up after what she had found put earlier. Everyone else around her seemed pretty upset as well and it didn't help her much. She walked in. "Hey Dr." She was clearly hurting and Zoller may have even been able to pick up on the pain in her voice.

"Oh, hello there, Vesper," Lionel responds. As Vesper walks into his lab a sudden negative feeling hangs over him. "Are you doing alright?" he asks, not really feeling so well himself anymore.

"I'm..." She pulled her hands out of her pockets, still broken in some places. "I'll be ok."

"Dear god... what happened?" Lionel asks worried. "Did you do this to yourself?"

"My hands were frozen in ice and... They just wouldn't melt..." She put her hands away and sat down at one of the tables, still feeling bones shifting into place and healing, occasionally wincing in pain

"That's odd indeed," Lionel says in a troubled voice. "Could that be an additional ability to your rapid healing? I know some people are born with multiple different abilities. Maybe you are subconsciously manipulating the temperature around you, or perhaps it's manipulation of the water molecules directly..." Lionel scratches his head in wonder. "Have you ever experienced anything similar to this before?"

"No I haven't. I was just making coffee for people, and a customer complained about theirs being ice. So we made a new one, that was ice too so he asked if it was some kind of joke. So I went to make him another one washed my hands... and then they were covered in ice. So I rushed home to try and fix them." She painfully continued on about her experiences trying to get the ice off. How she tried hot water at first, melting it with fire just made icicles on the back of her hands, how even her oven at its hottest could not keep the ice melted. So eventually she just started slamming her hands on the counter to break it all away. "I haven't had anything to drink, I haven't touched anyone... I don't want to hurt anyone with this."

"I know just how miserable you feel," Lionel says. "I know it doesn't solve anything, but I've been going through this for years. You're not alone. And neither am I. I felt like I was all alone until I learned of your abilities. So in a sense it's nice not being by myself in this anymore. I hope you don't take it the wrong way." He lets out a yawn. "I was working on the cure all night and I realized that the cure I'm working on right now is supposedly designed to rid me of the Sun-Beast. I'm sorry to say it's still too risky to try it though. Anyway my point is, even if I was successful in making this cure, it would only work on me. I'll have to make a completely different cure for you seeing as our unwanted traits are quite different. Would you mind me taking a sample of blood from you? It will help as I start working on your cure."

Vesper nodded and pulled a sleeve up, which was a little bit difficult as she was still in a lot of pain but her fingers were mostly fixed now. Hearing Dr. Zoller explain that he was in a similar situation made her feel better about her own problems. She couldn't imagine what his life was like. She didn't really have to worry about her powers much. She just didn't want them. Well, that was until recently. Now she was worried about freezing people or giving them frostbite or other things. She tried not watch as her blood was drawn.

Before Vesper knew it Lionel was done getting the blood sample. "Thank you," he says and stors the blood away safely. "Don't you think there's a way for you to learn how to master this freezing thing?" he then asks her. "I mean, it seems like you're still in control of yourself at least, even if this happens to you. Knowing this I'd argue that you could potentially learn to control it given enough time and practice. I'm not saying you'll use it to become some sort of masked super hero, but rather that you'll learn not to use it so that things like this doesn't happen. Seeing as I've had no success in curing myself in the past four years, that might be a good temporary solution for you. If it's even possible for you to control it at all, that is. Of course I cannot know for sure."

She knew that Dr. Zoller was just trying to help, and it had worked a little bit as she started to smile as he went on about how maybe she could learn to control it. "Thank you Doctor" She said with a warm smile. She looked around the lab a litter bit. "So what can I help you with?"

As she finished her sentence, she heard the sound of roaring flames go by the window. She rushed over and looked out to see her mom heading towards the square. Behind her was another person she had never seen before. But if her mom was in Avalon Falls, that must have meant dad was here too. "Damn." She wasn't sure if they had found her or not but she couldn't think of any other reason for them being here. Mom would only come here if she had reason to believe The Green Father was here, and Dad would only target Avalon falls if he thought he could beat all the heroes here.
