Time 8:05 A.M
Place: Industrial DistrictAlmost as quick as it started, the situation winds down...a variety of Heroes from all corners of the city, and other cities answer the call-much faster than any official response could...
As often happens, one slowly sees order emerge from chaos-the Supers begin to find a groove-they begin working together, and supplementing each others powers. But, there are losses, and some die of course...others are shown being captured and pulled into vans by white suited men, which is a terrifying sight anyone.
The apes, cornered and mostly defeated, are chased into a building which is summarily collapsed...one can pull back, and can't quite avoid the obvious criticism-Supers did almost as much, if not more damage than the apes themselves. Truly, that nights Channel 11 broadcast said as much...
"We're here with the esteemed billionaire and Technical Genius Arnold Powers-inventor of the "Buster" Powered Armor system. He's agreed to come on our show tonight, and give us his own take of the horrible devastation we saw today...
"Thank you...It's an honor to be here.
"Please, continue. You recently released a book called the "S-Factor.", right? Some of your viewers are no doubt unsettled by what could be considered firey rhetoric on your part, concerning the super hero community."
"Dangerous times require bold actions...just do the math. The Heroes destroyed almost 5 blocks worth of businessess and factories, and for what? kicks? They're out of control-and I've outlined the reason in my book-and we need to put a stop to them. Registration, Survelliance...containment.
"Containment?"
"Supers need to obey the laws like everyone else...this time next year, my Buster suits will be available to every nation and city that requests them, as an affordable price. They'll allow the common, pure blooded man a fighting chance against the degenerate mutant filth that...
At that point, most people turned the channel-but not nearly enough of them. Later, there was a report about a woman who died in the attack-an undeveloped light manipulating super named Ryn Andrews, who was the daughter of the Famous Hero "Supernova"-though they had a falling out years ago, he has vowed to hunt down the person or persons responsible for her death and make them pay. Given Supernovas history of violent, overzealous actions against criminals, it's likely he will.

Most of the Supers take a moment to rest-they've contained the threat for now...they get the answer soon enough.
The Apes implode, with no warning, leaving only grisly balls of meat, steel and bone. In their place, a small silver orb floats out, hovers to ground level and broadcasts a holographic image of what looks like a elderly gentleman in formal wear. He seems not to notice them, at first-then, with a well practiced look of smugness-turns to address them.
"A congratulations on your victory, Heroes. A fine match, if I do say so myself. You defeated the creatures in a record 36 minutes and 45 seconds...but, not all were that lucky. Indeed, you'll find I've organized attacks all up and down the Seaboard-with the intention of procuring subjects, of course. For what purpose, I'll allow you to ponder...I suppose if any of you are still standing, you can try to receive you comptriots from the vans before they reach their ultimate destination...that would be fun to watch.
Oh yes-call me "Beast Master" It's a bit cheesy, but Super Villian names are difficult to think of these days. Cheerio!"There is a collective groan. *Another* one? Didn't they just kill the "Sky Master" not a week ago? And "Lord Chaosium" before that...turns out, there is no shortage of meglomaniacal villians these days...several of the Heroes, either with their powers or from conventional communications, detect several large wheeled vehicles moving from the area. Pursuit is an option, but to what end?
...
The sirens of the Buster Squads are going to show up soon-maybe in the next half hour. Even to supers, they've quite dangerous...what the heroes and villians alike do now, is up them.
((Alright, someone else can start to move the day in whatever crazy direction they want to take it lol
In fact, I might do something else with this...thinking.))
