John wanted to intervene in the terrorist hostage crisis, but the others decided to go after the Blood Brothers who were a trio of average level super-villains, so John decided to follow the team. he went to get his costume which was an outfit just like the clothing of US military soldiers, and along with his costume he also got his good-sized American flag. the flag was about the same size as the flag on the moon, but the pole was about as thick as a spear. he suited up and rejoined the others. while his flag with one hand, he asked, "so what's the plan? if the Blood Brothers pose a threat to the civilians then we should contain them as quickly as possible to avoid any good amounts of death."

He was glad to possibly be getting some action for once, and he hoped that it would be an improvement over the last act of heroics he partook in. some of the heroes had gotten careless and that had costs a good amount of money in property damage. he tested his American flag to make sure his powers were ready, he made the fabric stretch and wonder about like a floating snake. he then made it wrap around his backpack and pick it up, bringing back to John. yep, his powers were ready for the fight, he just hoped that the others were also.
