Genesis amends the 9-11 call. With Torque clinging to the top of Fusion's racing car, Genesis on her motorcycle with Tendril riding double if necessary, the group races through the late evening streets. Few people are out, and traffic is minimal.By the time the heroes arrive at the emergency room, Foreshadow is looking noticeably pale. His lips are blue. Emergency room personnel meet the heroes on the way in. The attending physician calmly issues various instructions. A police officer interviews the heroes, getting the story of what happened."Damn," Officer Stiles whispers. Then, to the heroes: "You four might be the only capes left in Freedom City. You be careful out there."After the officer moves on to attend to other matters, the heroes are left more or less alone. Foreshadow has been wheeled away. The other people in the emergency room are obviously curious, but are more concerned with their own problems than the heroes.The Highpoint Lighthouse stands several miles outside the city limits to the north. Decades ago, it was a fully functioning lighthouse. Today, it is part tourist attraction, part National Weather Service facility.</blockquote>
