Issue #1: The Coming Storm

Some time passes, you all socialize some, a lot of people want pictures of you, Sunspot is flying around trying to be seen with as many people as possible, pretty much the usual, really.

After about half an hour, you all hear over some unseen loudspeaker the voice of Jolene Ingram, a city councilwoman who most of you would know leads the Nebulas as Splice. She is standing at a podium next to a covered statue that you would assume is the reason you've all been gathered here. Her speech is short, thanking the crowd for attending, your team in particular, stating that Sage would have been proud if he could see the good that his sacrifice allowed to be done in the last year, though she looks close to tearing up talking about it. Once she finishes, there is a moment of silence before the curtain is pulled aside to reveal his statue, showing him in a heroic pose, extending a hand holding a small sapling in his palm. Even out in the crowd you can see the impressive detail that's been put into it, even down to the vine and leaf patterns woven into his cloak.

You don't get long to admire the statue before you hear the rumble of thunder, and a bolt of lightning shoots down from a sky that you were sure was clear before Jolene started her speech. It nearly strikes the statue, but Blitz meets it in midair and it fizzles harmlessly against him. Between that and the next three lightning strikes in the park, and the miniature hailstorm that follows, pretty much every non-nova in the area is panicking. You all hear a younger woman's voice right next to you.

"Hey, I know it's kind of our day off, but Luke doesn't think he can keep blocking for much longer. We've got our nerds figuring out what's causing this, but whatever it is, we have to get everyone out of here, you think you can handle that?"

Omen
A map pops up on your phone, leading you to what looks like an under-construction skyscraper downtown.

Emma lifts herself up into the air, hands emanating with a wave of shimmering blue energy. She could have been shouting. Helping to direct the chaos of people running. But the girl focused instead, breathing deeply as she drew her power in. Splitting her attention wasn't something she was all that great at yet.

Hecate
The park usually only has the statues and a few trees and park benches along the paths, but for this event there are clusters of picnic tables set up near the food trucks.

Chameleon
The lightning probably isn't a problem as long as Blitz can intercept it, but he can't do much besides that right now. Biggest problem is the hail, which is coming down hard and getting bigger as time goes on.

Everyone
Mimic manages to create a barrier that covers most of the park, and Omen is able to reinforce it, so it's holding strong at least for now. You each hear Donner again; "Good job guys, Apollo and Splice are set up in the parking garage across the street, I think Luke and I have things covered out here. I got no idea where the heck Sunspot went."
