Edward was walking toward Central Park when the High Clairvoyant warned of the Snapper in the park.  Edward quickly donned the guise of Magus and headed to the Park.  By the time he arrived, several things had already happened.  First of all, Dragon Heart and Blacklight were fighting.  Again.  

Secondly, someone had angered the turtle as evidenced by the fact that it was not peacefully grazing as the snappers tended to do.  Instead, one of the Freaks who worked with the Emergency Response and Search and Rescue teams had placed his arm in the turtle's mouth, then proceeded to grow the arm large enough to actually lift the turtle off the ground.  

Thirdly, ECPD and a few other Epics seemed to be effectively keeping civilians out of danger.  It would appear he was not currently needed, but he would observe and intervene if the need did arise.  Then he looked back at the people ushering the crowd away.  One of the people, wielding a glass baton, looked familiar.  He hadn't gotten a good look at the man the first time they had met, but it was good enough that Magus recognized him now.  He approached the glass manipulator, ushering people away as he went.  "We meet again," he said when he was just feet away from his adversary.
