Scrap Pile Gets Needed Boost.

After the private citizens Dr. Olivia Chung, Petra Chalker, and Cat Hermes unfolded ties to current unfavorable media reports about the Scrap Pile with various members of the Outcasts criminal gangs, it did not take long for Captain Scrappy and Citrus Shocker to take the lead in the following investigations. The Scrap Pile, as you may remember, has been embroiled in scandals involving pictures of them consorting with known criminals, as well some unheroic behavior among its members of late.

Citrus Shocker, the current leader of the Scrap Pile, has tried to maintain her calm during the claims. She has pointed out that not all superheroes in Paragon City get along, so some personal animosity even among crime-fighters. And that many heroes have used assistance from what would be considered evil-doers at various times in their careers. And then she threw herself into breaking the story open.

"If I did anymore investigating," Citrus Shocker stated, "I'd need a badge or medal for taking so much more damage."

"I think someone actually gave me a badge." Capt. Scrappy interjected, with his trademark wide smile. "A couple of them even. I hope they look good with my uniform."

After finding the memos revealing the planned "Anti-Scrap Pile" media smear, Captain Scrappy thanked the private citizens, specifically Olivia Chung, for her help in, "Getting the record straight, dammit."

After an impromptu press ceremony with Dr. Chung, Capt. Scrappy and Citrus Shocker were off once again fighting crime.
