Panic at Home
WHO: Those left behind: Viti, Melinda, Guardian Dragons, X-Force, Team 3, Martha, Emma
WHAT: Defend McCoy’s lab, aid McCoy in any way possible
WHERE: District X
WHEN: Shortly after the recovery team’s departure; early evening
WARNING(S): Violence, mentions of medical procedures
"...confirmed reports of uncontrollable fires, electrical surges, and other instances of apparent uncontrolled mutant powers coming from District X, the largest concentration of the afflicted in the city..."
"...a tragic event where a busy intersection collapsed into a massive sinkhole, swallowing dozens of cars. A known mutant was spotted near the scene; we will keep you updated as the situation unfolds..."
It was barely hours since the Blackbird had left, hours, and in came thundering the next crisis. A critically ill mutant’s power had not only hastened the illness, but raged out of control—killing innocent bystanders in the process.
Protesters had sprouted up since the virus had been found—human and mutant, sometimes even both in the same crowd, demanding that the infected be shipped out, sent away, put anywhere but here. Now, they were quickly galvanizing into riots, and worse...
Get to the District. Secure McCoy’s lab, protect the sick there. Control the damage.
And see if the reports of Sinister’s soldiers in the crowds are true.

There was nothing for him to add, really. Alric did a better job of saying it that he could, in some ways -- he was never good at the part about people not being their enemies, not compared to the best of his compatriots.
It was good, too, to see how Alric had grown over the year -- not only in skill, but in the regard of the people he'd fought to hard to gather together and lead. Hijikata wasn't about to undermine that leadership by talking too much, by holding his hand through parts of the process where it wasn't needed. It was his turn to listen, to be on standby for the inevitable moment when his strength or brains or experience were needed, but to let someone else hold the reins so long as they were managing them well.
