A woman stands in front of the ruins of a pub, her coiffed platinum hair a stark contrast to the grey smoke and ash rising from the building. A sign, once neon, now a skeleton of fractured tubing, reads “Mimi’s”. Firemen rush about the scene, policemen drink coffee out of take out cups.
She gazes into the lens of a camera.
“Jenny Robinson,” she introduces herself, “reporting for Fox news, at the scene of a suspected mutant terrorist attack.” Her pause is dramatic, and allows the audience time to shake their heads disapprovingly at the mutant situation. “Mimi’s motel a hotel and bar, run by local man Fred Hargreaves, was earlier attacked by infamous mutant Magneto, who was previously thought to have been disarmed by the Government’s wonder cure.
“The evening was torn apart by an explosion, destroying the main restaurant and injuring several bystaders. Blame has been placed with Magneto. Just months ago, he was administered the supposed Cure pioneered by the US Government, but today’s display suggests that it was not the miracle officials had hoped for. Already hospitals, and police, around the country are receiving stories of ‘cured’ mutuants whose abnormalities,” the word is stretched out into an epithet, “have resurfaced.”
“Police were quick to react, but were attacked at the scene, with the metal of their own cars turned against them. Two officers were killed, with several more casualties. It is not known if Magneto acted alone, but some witnesses have described a boy of about eighteen seen speaking with him. Police are calling for him to come forward with any information he has.
“Tom Allen was in Mimi’s at the time,” the woman, Jenny, is joined on camera by a middle aged man, who does no look into the lens as she does, but glances between the ground, the sky, and the low neckline of her shirt. “Tom, did you see Magneto’s attack?” He answers in a dull voice, using only short words, and speaking as if he was describing a trip grocery shopping.
Jenny nods enthusiastically.
“Well, this is Jenny Robinson, reporting a new twist in the Mutant situation. Back to the studio.”
