At 12 pm Eastern Standard Time today the Endbringer known as Leviathan attacked the Massachusetts city of Brockton Bay. He was met by not just the combined might of the local heroes and villains but by the combined weight of almost the entire Protectorate, Guild and other affiliated hero groups as well as several large Villain and rogue groups. Because of this the Endbringer was turned back with the unprecedented loss of only one life, and while many others were injured, the ability for search and rescue forces to focus on the people fighting the Endbringer instead of having to get civilians out of the way of the battle ensured that those that were injured were not left to die, but often were able to return to the fight against the beast.
Because of this I as President of the United States have issued a Presidential level pardon for all people who participated in the Brockton Bay Endbringer Fight. There are limitations and requirements to this, but if the persons currently labeled as villains who fought or worked on the weapons used to fight Leviathan today want to make amends by going straight and living either a quiet or hero's life, this is here to help them do so. We, as a nation thank you all for your service today and hope that in the near future, we are able to end this scourge on humanity.
POTUS said:We owe it to the people of that city and to the people who fought there for those civilians to repair and rebuild just like we did New York after Behemoth's attack. Anything less would reek of dishonor.
Dear Missy,
By the time you read this I'll be long gone, this morning my parents and I boarded a commercial aircraft for California, and we won't be returning. I've known about your feelings for me for a while now, but you have to know that there could never be anything more than friendship between us. Between the age difference and rules about fraternization, well there would never have been any chance. Also, don't blame Vicky for having been my girlfriend, nor Chris who was only the messenger. I phoned her and broke up with her sometime before you read this and told Chris not to give this to you until sometime after noon. I hope you can understand my reasoning and can forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. I don't do well with them, and honestly, I can see a great big mess if I had told you or Vicky in person. I wish you well in your life, and hope you find someone that deserves the unbridled love that lies within your heart

National News video said:Emily Piggot steps to the podium and starts to speak, "Ladies and gentlemen of the press I have a short statement to make, and then will take a couple of questions. The statement is this, The Butcher has been dealt with, and the details are as follows; Earlier this week while on patrol, Protectorate members Lung and Oni Lee came across the parahuman members of the gang known as The Teeth. They immediately backed off without being noticed and called for reinforcements. Reinforcements were two sprayer squads, a transport flatbed, and the Wards Vista and Clockblocker accompanied by a member of the Fabulous Killjoys. Power synergy was used to contain the gang members before a sedative gas and containment foam was used to disable the gang members allowing them to be transported without issue directly to the Birdcage. At the same time a sting operation was performed to ferret out possible Empire moles within the local PRT by pretending to move Hookwolf, Cricket, Alabaster and Storm Tiger to the Birdcage as well by truck. Two spies were identified and a third uncovered by this while still getting the four Empire Capes to the prison. Currently the Empire 88 and Archer's Bridge Merchants are the only gangs in the city and both have been weakened between defections or imprisonment. Now, your questions?"
The group of reporters all waved notepads in hand and the Director pointed to one who stood and spoke, "Jim Acosta CNN, Director Piggot, why did you use two Wards and what I can only assume is a Wards age member of the Killjoys to capture the Teeth and the Butcher, wasn't that inherently dangerous for them?"
Piggot smiled before answering, "The short answer is power synergy to both trap the Teeth while ensuring a minimum of collateral damage and no. Between their powers they never even came into sight of the Teeth, and yet because of their power synergy they were able to keep the damage to a minimum instead of possibly end up with the Butcher in the body of Lung."
Piggot points to another reporter who stands to take the first's place, much to the man's consternation. "Ma'am, Harris Faulkner, Fox News. What do you intend to do about the Empire now that their heavy hitters and, at least according to my sources, Purity, Kaiser, and one of the two giantess sisters has quite the field?"
"Purity left before Leviathan ever showed up, family issues as i understand, though she claims she had left the Empire almost a year ago," Piggot answers. "That said, I can confirm that Kaiser and Menja have both left Brockton Bay and are using the Presidential Pardon from the Leviathan fight to retire. As for the Empire, what we are going to do is classified, but there will be a response.
