Coming back to the City after all these years is sadder than Jack was ever prepared for. There's a grimness to the air that seems to pervade every street and every building. This is where the new regime's grip first closed, this is where everything went wrong. The government's propaganda reminds the Cityzens of how long it's been since a supervillain attack or metahuman disaster. There was a time when Jack could and did kill to hear that kind of news, when he would do anything to keep people safe. Not this though, never this. The City has been quiet a long time, but that doesn't make it safe.
That's why he has come back. It's time to stop running, and time to try and help make things right. Jack sees patrols and cameras everywhere, and it takes all his experience and skill to slip past them. Disguises, distractions, back alleys, a few undignified shortcuts underground. He makes his way to where he needs to be, one of the remaining Resistance hideouts in Manhattan. Perhaps he runs into someone familiar along the way, or perhaps he meets them at the base. Either way, once he reaches his destination it's time for...
2) The Mission
Jack hasn't returned without a plan. Once he's gotten his bearings at the base, he immediately starts gathering the information, people and resources he needs for a strike, something drastic, something ruthless. All his old boundaries about not killing cops and soldiers have been stripped away. The United States Government that he once served is now the enemy. Jack's made his peace with that, and he won't flinch from what that entails.
The plan is simple yet ambitious. The government's grip on ImPorts depends on information: lists of names, lists of powers, who's wanted, who's compliant and registered. Jack wants to raid a federal building and get some of that information. He wants to find out what the enemy knows and doesn't know about them, what could be dangerous and what could be exploited. It's a mission that could open up new ways to weakening the regime. It's also borderline suicide.
Jack makes his rounds in person or electronically, making his pitch, trying to build a team. Once he has his volunteers, he assembles them in the base for a briefing: quick and informal, down and dirty, the only thing they have the time and the resources for right now. Whether he's talking to your character in the briefing or while trying to recruit them, it boils down to one question: are you in?
