| Central District |
The site of the Hell’s Angels warehouse has been rebuilt, and is the new Headquarters for the Daybreak Superhero Team. Their newest recruits, Piper and Daniel walk through the halls of the building, being guided by clipboard person. Piper had been signed to the team after being recruited by Backwardo, and Daniel was offered a spot on the team for stopping the attack that Wes created inside the tower.
Clipboard Person: As of right now, due to the departure of The Ice Cream Man, there are only three heroes on the team, but within the next year, we plan on upping that number!
Clipboard person walks to the end of the hall, and opens the doors that lead into Daybreaks meeting room. Piper and Daniel walk in behind her.
Clipboard Person: Please allow me to introduce you two to your team captain, Bugseye!
Bugseye sits at the head of their meeting table, and looks up at Piper and Daniel walking in. He is in full uniform, covering his face with a mask.
Clipboard Person: Okay, I’ll let you two get to know him a little better, and I’ll be back in ten to finish off the tour and get some of your paperwork signed!
Clipboard Person walks out of the room, shutting the doors behind them. Piper and Daniel just look at Bugseye, knowing who’s really under the mask. Piper walks over and takes a seat next to Bugseye, while Daniel sits at the other end of the table as he doesn’t know him that well. Piper looks at Bugseye, smiling at him.
Piper: Hey… How are you holding up? Did your burns heal well?
Bugseye just slowly turns his head to Piper and doesn’t say anything. The comforting smile soon fades after seeing his response. Bugseye turns away from her and goes back to looking at nothing, which causes Piper to also turn away from him and look down at the table.
Daniel blinks at this exchange, and already begins to question if being in this team will be beneficial at all.

| Vanguard Tower |
Backwardo, Morgan, and Nyx all sit in Vanguard Tower. They sit in the meeting room quietly, only shooting each other awkward eye contact. The recent loss has left a lasting impact on their spirits. Bullet-Man takes a seat, setting his helmet on the table and looks at the team.
Bullet-Man: So. How’re we feeling today.
Morgan: Like shit.
Backwardo and Nyx nod in agreement, both looking down as Morgan says this. Bullet-Man continues to look at the three of them.
Bullet-Man: Good…
The three look up at Bullet-Man curiously, as what happened was anything but good.
Bullet-Man: We should feel like shit. We lost. Badly… We spent enough time feeling bad about ourselves, but now is time for us to focus on improving. And to do that, I reached out.
Bullet-Man motions his hand towards the door, and as the team looks over, they see Sixth Sense walk in the room.
Nyx’s eyes widen as she sees Sixth Sense walk in. She turns to look at Bullet-Man.
Nyx: What is *He* doing here?
Bullet-Man: I’m glad you asked, Nyx… Our old friend S.S. Decided to come out of retirement and help us out.
Bullet-Man turns back to Sixth Sense, shaking his hand.
Bullet-Man: Welcome back, buddy… You bring her with you?
Sixth Sense: I sure did.
Sixth Sense turns back to the door
“P.P. You coming?”
Clara Pointe, also known as Pressure Pointe walks into the meeting room, smiling at Sixth Sense
Clara: Would you PLEASE stop calling me that?
Sixth Sense and Bullet-Man chuckle before looking at Backwardo, Nyx and Morgan, who are just witnessing this.
Bullet-Man: Guys. This is Pressure Pointe, America’s newest Vanguard. She recently apprehended the projector, so I thought we would bring her in.
