“You’re best just leaving me alone...I need to process all this...” Tatiana sighed, sat in her sweats, her hair in a messy bun, her neck showing off the collar that had been put on her neck. The blonde looked far less radiant like she’d been utterly drained of any energy and strength. She kept her face pointed to the window, watching the city carrying on whilst she couldn’t. She felt violated and humiliated, under a thumb.
Signe shook her head. It couldn't of been true. This had to be just another nightmare. Her body tensed as anxiety rushed through her, tears threatening to spill. She knew what happened at the ball that night, she knew it wasn't Liberty's fault. She ran as far away as she could before her body wouldn't let her anymore. She found herself in the park, she carefully sat down with a sigh and a hiccup as she tried to stop herself from crying. "This isn't fucking fair!" She yelled, punching the bench she sat on.
Kara watched from the crowed, her camera pointed at the action. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. This story was gonna get a ton of views on her blog. The crowd had all seem to start stirring at the news. She had her complete focus through the camera she didn’t realize someone from the crowd bump her. She fell backwards managing to save her camera. “God damn watch where your going.”

The story continued.....Times had been tough since the night of the Masquerade Ball, the nights were dangerous and Hero patrols had gone up due to the increase of the Shadow Society activity. The mayors office had been extremely quiet, almost too quiet and it had set many Heroes and Civilians on edge with the uproar from C.A.T.S becoming more pronounced. After a short announcement many came to gather for the Mayors first speech since the loss of her wife. Heroes and Villains both stood in the crowd, separated and for once not causing a fight. Everyone was simply too anxious with what was to be heard- especially with the threat that laws concerning supers were to be changed.

“ANd now for word from the honorable Mayor Western” The secretary said as she stepped out of the way, applause filling the air as she brave woman stepped up with her flashcards, a woman that had never been one to look nervous in a public setting until now. “Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I am extremely thankful for those that have turned out today in what can only be described as a hugely unfortunate time. As the leader for the city it is still my duty to push forward our plans for the upcoming year. The loss of my wife has been one that I will not be able to understand or grasp...But what matters is that we feel that the culprit has been found...” she then suddenly announced, this making the audience murmur and gasp, many looking at each other. Heroes eyeing each other in worry and Villains beginning to back away from the crowds in case they needed a quick exit. Vigilantes even stood to the wings and began to look nervous. It was clear no one had been expecting such sudden words “From extensive studying of the CCTV and from witness accounts we have derived that the culprit is found to be American Liberty, or that it was at least orchestrated by her and others acting on her instruction” The mayor suddenly snapped out, then pointing to the crowd to where Tatiana had been stood with a couple of other heroes “What?! But I was the one being pulled out of the way! I WAS A VICTIM JUST AS MUCH AS-” Liberty suddenly shouted losing her cool and her American Liberty public persona, the blondes eyes wide as she realized she was trapped, sure she had her powers but what use would escaping do, then she’d look even more guilty for a crime that was not at all her doing.
It was then that Florence Genevieve moved from the back of the podium and came to stand beside Mayor Western, an almost smug smile on her lips as she held a strange metal collar, watching as some security came over and grabbed Liberty, the hero looking around for help from the crowd and her hero family, but everyone was simply stunned into a silence and confusion that the American Patron could really be accused of such a crime. “I have been working with Genevieve labs and tip offs to my office to study footage of that night and have deduced that until further trial and jury, that American Liberty is to be detained under arrest until further notice...We shall find out just what happened and justice shall be served. A full investigation into the Heroes Union will too be instated.” The Mayor announced, Florence only stepped down the steps and unlocked the collar, slipping it on around the blondes neck, Liberty hissing and trying to lean away, not wanting to hurt anyone with her strength “We are being framed why on Earth would the Heroes Union want to hurt anyone?!” The leader yelled, glaring at Florence “This will be keep you tagged to the Originals Tower, it will let us know if you leave it and you are to remain there until it is removed by a city official, like myself...” Florence mused, trying to not sound amused as she it locked onto the woman. “It will render you powerless” she whispered against her ear and pulled away, Liberty then being immediately let go by the security guards. Mayor Western looked down at Liberty and then back to the crowd “We have been working with the Genevieve labs for combative equipment against the rise of Super Terrorism, we will no longer be taking it, as New York needs to show strength. Those that are caught for criminal activity will be detained and given such treatment before being sent to our special facility that you will be held in to serve your sentence, let that be a warning to all out there who wish to try and create a war. New York is strong and will not stand for it any longer!” she barked, this receiving huge applause and cheers from the C.AT.S section of the crowd. It was then that Liberty was only gripped again and made to walk away by the security officials to take her back to her house arrest at the Originals Tower....Were the Heroes Union without a leader now?...That would be a fate to follow, for then not too much could be done, many simply frozen in place as they watched, powerless over the events.
But the plot thickens. Something was a miss in the whole situation and this was noticed by a select few, there was something just a little....Off? About the mayor? She didn’t seem to be quite herself. It always pays off to have a few keen eyes in the crowd and they were certainly there that day. With hope they could help and set this right.
(Be sure to keep an eye on your inboxes, as characters will be selected at random with an ask from the main that will let them know if they spotted just what had been off with the Mayor, when this ask comes through DO NOT publish it, but you may make it a character starter or a self para. Your character may speak to other characters who saw the same thing and in the ask, you will receive the names. More about this plot drop will be reported on Radio Super One and we ask for you to send your character reactions to the radio if you can, or perhaps even some anons from concerned city members with their own theories. Also as a TASK within the event please do a thread with someone you have not written with before! Just to mix things up. Everyone will have a reaction to this.)
Ali watched the Mayor’s speech drama unfold before her from a safe rooftop. She didn’t like the feeling beginning to swirl in her gut, raising the hair on the back of her neck. She knew this was wrong, whatever the Mayor had decided or heard wasn’t right. She frowned deeper, “Something reeks about this.”
