"It's been what... Decades? Thirty years since the last big scare like this?" The figure on the right of the screen spoke to her partner, her sparkling blue eyes focused on the man beside her.

"That's right, Jen. Thirty-some years since the tragedy at the Choice One Safehouse. Ever since then, all of these powered people were ordered to drop the masks and fade into society." Jen's partner sighed. It was really a rough number of years for the world after the massacre of people at the Choice One Bank Safe deposit at the hands of Alpha, one of the violent villains ever to grace the face of the earth. With the amounts of money he stole, he erased himself from the world and started anew. He watched in the shadows as people turned their backs on the men and women who were tasked with saving them. Fights, riots, violence tore through every street as people insisted for there to be no more powered people. Eventually, they won, and the powered people hung their masks and capes and became every day people. They didn't use their powers, and started new lives, or continued the ones that they already had as a civilian.

Now, days after another scare involving powered people, the son of Alpha, dubbed Meta, made his debut appearance. This caused Broadsword, the nemesis to Alpha, to come out of hiding. He, along with his family, stopped Meta from causing another massacre.

The media exploded. Aledged sightings of Powered People all over the place actively using their powers, some even dawning masks old and new.

With all of the new heroes abound, there were also villains who started making their marks on the world.

"And what's the government have to say about all of this? Surely they can't keep quiet for long, Hal." Jen asked somewhat rhetorically. She knew what the Government had to say, but it was new broadcasting, and such questions were necessary.

Hal sighed once more, his eyes glancing down to his oxford shoes. "The Government stated that they are already on top of the situation, and will be lifting the laws associated with Powered People. There's even a rumor that some G-men are going around and picking up Powered People for a team of sorts to avert any more crises like the Alpha and Meta ones. Protect Pantheon, I think they said in a very brief interview.

We'll be seeing a lot more of them soon."
