Last issue, the team traveled to Las Vegas - Information sent them after a private lab secretly funded by the Lyons Foundation, a public anti-mutant group, which had been investigating biological weapons against Meta-humans. Though the mission was primarily benevolent, it was also undertaken partially to further Gabriel Phoenix's trust in them. After securing test vials, destroying the lab, and rescuing a pair of captives, they fled the city with their injured companions, and are currently on the road between Vegas and the Montana Rocky Mountains.
<Begin Issue 3>
After almost 6 hours in the van - while approaching Salt Lake City - Grid, recovering much more rapidly than expected, but still in great pain, manages to sit up - against the objections of his companions. He can feel something changing within him, the pain -while still great- is noticeably less than when he first awoke after leaving Vegas hours ago.
As the group marvels at his miraculous recovery, Cassandras cell buzzes with a text from her editor:
"Are you still in Washington? Why aren't you reporting on this?"
As she is reading it, she starts to receive more, and the mobile devices of Uomo, Frost, and Felix also start buzzing with missed messages and calls.
Notable texts:
All Gryphon employees From Robert Gryphon: I've been trying for an hour, where the hell are you guys? What happened in vegas?
Uomo From Claudia: *Several messages, basically boiling down to* 'are you hurt? Tell me that wasn't you?"
Uomo from Robert Gryphon, 20 minutes ago: I don't know if you're dead or what, but CALL ME when you wake up, I've got four agents down trying to stop this madness, I pray to god I haven't lost you too. if we don't stop this it'll be War!
Over the next couple tense and confusing minutes, they discover what has happened - In his pain-addled throes of awakening, Grid had been throwing off interference, disrupting any service they may have gotten, and now that he's managed to stabilize himself, the interference has abated, allowing for the deluge. Upon reading their missed messages, they quickly discover that they've missed much in the intervening hours, and with some quick net-searching from the recovering Grid, they put it all together.
Three hours ago, The Drake Centre in Washington was bombed by 'Pro-human activists', quote "in retaliation for recent mutant assaults against humanity in Washington, Brazil, China, and last night's massive explosion in Vegas."
Further checking reveals that shortly after the team left the city, the research lab they had been at was annihilated in a massive fireball that partially collapsed nearby buildings and starting several fires. This occurred while emergency crews, police, and much of the research staff were on site about the break-in not half an hour earlier, killing many emergency personnel as well as the head researcher, Doctor Noah White, and several government agents investigating possible Meta-human involvement. Based on early reports, a mutant terrorist known as Hassan, who had previously been involved in the infamous school attack, is the primary suspect, though considering reported sightings of another suspected Mutant terrorist, Jacob Calvins (Frost) within Vegas in the hours before the bombing, he is also being sought for questioning.
There have been numerous reports of attacks on and by meta-humans since then, culminating half an hour ago in an attack by several powerful mutants against the Lyons Foundation headquarters. They have taken the place over and are holding William Lyons hostage, though have not offered any demands.
