Road blocks, sealing off the area, are set up on all of the streets at the point where they meet the edge of
the map. Police, Swat teams, firemen and other emergency personnel, along with their appropriate vehicles, are deployed behind these barricades.
Despite the distance, the heroes all night flight has allowed them to arrive just after dawn. There is a large assortment of food, supplied by the restaurants on the square, available for the first responders. The men on the barricade have made it clear that the heroes are considered one of them, and "help yourself, please." Between this largesse and the sleep they might have got on the trip, and the time between arrival and Dr. Apocalypse's indicated noon 'showtime', the heroes are sure to stand refreshed and ready for whatever.
Speculation as to whatever WILL be coming shows great imagination, stoic acceptance, minor immaturity, and in a very few cases outright emotional disturbance (where the hell would Apocalypse get Megatherium and how do you fit then with tutus, anyway?).
