It was a cold and snowy night in Denver. We see a human named Luke living in a cardboard box trying to survive. Things were not going good for him. Since 5 years ago he used to have everything. A family and a nice cabin to live. But when a terrible blizzard hit it destroyed everything. Including killing his wife and kids. He tried to save them by getting them to the doctor but they couldn't stop the wounds from leaking blood and led him to today. He cried and got up looking for somewhere else to shelter. He then found an abandoned laboratory and headed in. Inside he sat down in the lab and sighed sadly.

"Oh Violet. Im so sorry. Im a horrible person!! I should have rented us a house in the woods so the blizzard wouldn't hit us and you be alive! And my babies! Im a criminal!!" Luke cried.

He cried hard about losing his life and wished what he could do to change that but it was no use. What's done is done. He cried softly as he looked himself in a reflection off a glass box containing a special freeze proof exoskeleton with a jetpack.

"Can I ask you a question me? Why would you take your wife and kids to a place where you should have known there was a blizzard and wasn't safe? You could have done better!!" Luke yelled banging his head on the box and fell crying. "I got no purpose. Im nothing!!"

Then he looked and saw a beaker with glowing icy blue liquid in it. Now during his time in school he learned not to drink potions til you smelled it and know what it will do to you. But he was too emotional to think. Then he gently grabbed the beaker and smelled it.

"Smells like blueberries. Just like how Violet makes her special pancakes. It should be okay. Violet I wish you were still alive so I could say I love you." Luke said.

Then he slowly drank the potion and got to the last drop and placed the beaker down. He stopped crying and rested a little. But after 15 minutes he felt something building up in his chest. In his body the blood cells were starting to freeze and becoming an icy blue color. Back to Luke he then yelled in pain as he ripped off his shirt and his body was turning an icy blue color as well and his hair turned to ice. He rolled around as the transformation as still going. He cried and when he placed his hand on the glass it started to freeze. And once it was frozen it shattered into ice fragments leaving the exoskeleton out with nothing to protect. He saw the suit and used all his strength to reach it. Since the transformation was still active it was aching his body a lot.

He finally reached the suit and pressed a button making it open to him. He got in the suit and it proceeded to attach itself on Luke as he closed his eyes hoping the pain would go away. Then he opened his eyes again and they also turned an icy blue color as the jetpack was being tested when blue flames came out. He then looked at one of the panels on his arm and it said that it detected multiple injuries on him but then actived a healing protocol. Once the suit was finished attaching on to Luke he then breathed heavy and calmly walked down off the stand. He then looked at himself seeing what he become.

"Man. I look like a freak! Even more so! But at least the pain is gone." Luke said.

He then headed out of the laboratory and saw a snowstorm heading his way. The storm got worse as it got closer and Luke couldn't take his eyes off of it. Usually it could make anyone cold. But for some reason it wasn't making Luke cold. He thinks it's an effect from the potion he drank earlier. Then the storm got close enough to Luke and he he felt something pulling him in. He screamed and went in the snowstorm.

He screamed his head off as he traveled through the portal. It was glowing different blue colors and continued on through til he saw a bright light at the end. He entered it and the portal reopened and out he came and fell into a pile of snow. Luke was unconscious but soon will wake up.
