Times Square, New York City

Times Square has been cordoned off, and evacuated in preparation for Dr. Apocalypse's "demonstration of technological might". The National Guard had, already, been mobilized to deal with the mega-storm, so the cordon has been applied with military precision.
There are other metas, here, but most have barely recovered from the fatigue of battling the storm. Fortunately, heroes that were doing more 'restful' duty at a nuclear power plant have arrived, and the consensus is that those heroes face whatever Dr. Apocalypse sends.

Times Square, New York City

Agent 9 sets the jet car down on the top level of a nearby parking structure and shuts everything down. “ Ok kids, we are expected so let’s get a move on. “ he gets out and opens the side door for the others before opening the back and pulling out a couple of pistols and slinging a rifle over his shoulder. Then with a soft whirring sound his appearance changes to that of a black, sleek clad super hero type look and holsters the pistols. “this way “ he says leading them down the stairs and out into Times Square  and takes his sunglasses off and looks around for a few moments

Impressed at 9's impromptu outfit, The Zenith follows. She doesn't think much about the guns, not a weapon she has much respect for, but she understands that on this world it isn't considered dishonorable to use.

Times Square, New York City

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?).

Grabbing a glazed strawberry donut, The Zenith wrapped it inside a large, greasy slice of New York style pepperoni pizza, and scarfs it down.

Licking her fingers clean, she releases a ladylike belch into her hand. "Excuse me."

The thought of seconds in enticing, but she doesn't want to be bloated should an opportunity to grapple with Dr. Apocalypse any time soon.

Arriving shortly thereafter, Saber skated up to the team, running behind as they'd had to make the journey overland at top speed.

"What's happened?"

Agent 9 shakes his head “ you don’t want to know. I’ve seen things, things I can’t unsee! “ he points to Zenith. “ Otherwise it’s a typical operation, hurry up and wait. Are you needing some sleep? We have until noon apparently and in any event I’m sure if we forget, whatever the Dr has planned will be loud enough to wake you when it starts. “

"Noon?" the mech echoed mechanically.  "You mean I just flew flat out for over 5 hours for nothing?"

Its mechanical shoulders sagged.

"Uh. I have no idea where to stay in New York," it commented.

Agent 9 shakes his head at the bunch. Then walks off toward the nearest patrol car mumbling something about civilians.

“Officer what is the latest? “ he asks as he looks down the roadways at the other blockades wondering how far away anyone will have to be to avoid being in danger and thinking this is probably not anywhere near far enough. “ And are all of these buildings cleared? “ he points to the ones we can see on the map.

The bleary-eyed patrolman says, "they better god-danged be. We been here since the storm runnin' them off."
Then he points towards a bespectacled gentleman in a white linen suit, "believe it or not, that guy's in charge."
Upon approach, the gentleman introduces himself as Bishop Rourke and asks if the heroes feel up to being towards the center of the area in question.

Saber looked after Agent 9, then glanced to Zenith.

"Grum-Peeeee," it commented.

Having a strange way of knowing when she was being looked at, The Zenith turned and waved.

She liked New York. It wasn't as nice as Tokyo but the tall building were Vaguely reminiscent of home.

Was Agent 9 talking to a holy man? How odd.

Refocusing on Bishop Rourke, the hulking 10' tall mech pivoted its servomotors to regard him with its cam/head.

"What do you need us to do?  Stand there and wait?" it asked.

“Well Mr Bishop, what exactly is your role here? Any chance getting some relief for these officers, they look pretty beat and I’d like to see the perimeter extended so civilians aren’t caught in The cross fire.” As he speaks he surveys the buildings and the sky” and where are the best spots to put roof watch’s and folks watching the ground around here. As you say we don’t know what is coming so the more we cover the better our shot of not being taken by surprise. And we could use some tac radios, for ourselves and to keep in touch with you all as well. “ As he is looking around and watching thins looking for good perches and hides his mind runs through a thousand things and more it could be about to visit the city. Nano bots, smart viruses, alien invaders, the possibility’s are endless and he can only hope it’s something they can contain in some fashion and not like a terminator made of liquid metal or something.
