Red Son - Scarlet, a new extraterrestrial hero on the Seattle scene, tries to help Supergirl with a local menace! It’s… going.

The absurdity of capes and masks are one thing. However, the world governments don't stand idly by while these larger-than-life figures captivate the people.

A press conference is quickly called, though more confusingly, rather than ask for the Protectorate’s services, the President of the United States appeals to the Justice League and other non-registered superheroes to come to the White House to get to the bottom of this. To say that the Protectorate is not pleased is a gross understatement.
Setting the Board - Agent Checkmate of the C.I.A. retires to a local coffee joint for a rare reprieve... just kidding, she's taking a work call. This government never sleeps, bouts of incompetence notwithstanding.
