...very unseasonable rains can be seen in the distance from the shores of Acapulco.
The Brockton Bay Protectorate starts organizing volunteers to be transported or teletransported in batches to it. Heroes, rogues, villains, anyone's assistance is appreciated. A rendez-vous point is set for non-Protectorate capes wishing to volunteer, and Protectorate capes are informed of the situation via communication devices.

...they decide that's good enough. "So, I have two questions. First, uh, do you know the status of the... guy?"
"The one who was injured last night?" Headshake. "I am afraid he passed away overnight."
"He might well have lived. It was bad luck," Miss Militia says reassuringly.
mxglam
"...I really don't want luck to have anything to do with the fate of the people I engage with."
Miss Militia nods sympathetically and pats Glam's shoulder. "You will get better and make fewer mistakes."
"That's the spirit. Were you looking for Chevalier? He's at a meeting with the Director. It is about you, in part, I believe, she will likely want to meet you sometime today."
mxglam
Sigh. "Naturally. Well, I was just going to ask him about... what I just asked you. And also was wondering if there was anything, like, official or social with respect to the other Wards and the heroes about my joining other than just signing a bunch of documents, or if I'll just meet them as I lurk." They don't mention Phyllis Constance Yates.
"He wanted to introduce you to everyone at once, and is not sure if Echo or Beneficence can be here for a meeting tonight. Tomorrow evening at the latest."
mxglam
"Alright, cool. I met Echo once on patrol, and Dauntless and Lorica and Velocity when I started going out in costume, and saw Dauntless just now."
Miss Militia nods. "Anything else you want to talk about?"
mxglam
"Hmmm... any idea when Chevalier and Director Piggot will want to talk, and what about? And... any tips about talking to the Branding lady?" Better not mention that they already tried and it went catastrophically.
"The Director will want to know more about your powers. She will probably express her disappointment that you did not join before you made a fatal mistake," says Miss Militia. "I doubt you will have trouble with Branding, your name and costume will not offend parents and you are not wearing plaid."
"Oh, I suppose it might be. Maybe you should have two different lines of merchandise?" laughs Miss Militia.
mxglam
They grin. "That sounds like a great idea!" Too bad apparently not great enough for one Phyllis Constance Yates.
...well, maybe she didn't think of it? They certainly wouldn't have a problem differentiating merchandise for the different aisles, although they're not particularly sure what would be different—their costume is literally white with white on white made of white, and as far as they knew weapons or powers weren't exactly gendered.
Oh well.

Miss Militia is probably smiling behind her bandana flag. "I am sure Phyllis will be amused!" she says, and she moves on through the corridor.

...they are sure Miss Militia has never met Phyllis Constance Yates. Or perhaps she is less of a butt to non-Wards, or to Miss Militia in particular.
They return to their room to kill time until Chevalier and Director Piggot want to talk to them. Or until lunch, whichever comes first.

It turns out the room is hooked up to some kinda intercom. "Glam, please report to Director Piggot's office," this system says shortly before lunch.
"Come in," says Piggot.
"You might be surprised to hear that your slip last night ultimately did lead to the man's death."
