A YJA Campaign Phase Three - A Synopsis

The Third Phase started with the returning heroes remaining in "quarantine" in The Baxter Building.  The heroes decided to remain to the time being because there was a concern that the government would use their escape to brand them as villains.

Checkmate, consolidating their control on the United States, begin a massive public relations campaign to justify their exitance but undermind the good work of the Office of National Emergency.

The Mythic Avengers, including Mel, Ken, and Mary, went into hiding to figure out what they were going to do next.  Using the Chronicle of Hidden Paths, Ken was led to Citrisville, Florida where she encountered the entity known as Man-Thing. Using a piece of the creature she was able to travel to Outland, a pocket dimension that hovered over the fabled Nexus of All Realities.

With access to a portal to everywhere in existence, Ken evacated the quarantined heroes to Outland.  The Mythic Avengers, as well as their allies, begin a resistance campaign.
