Union Black Recovering In Hospital Following Assisination Atempt

Ex Crusader Union Black was rushed into a medical centre last week following a failed assassination attempt on his life. The information was leaked by a source working within the Holding facility where he is being held, thought to be the famous Maze prison. The source claimed that Black was slipped an incredibly strong dose of Hyper Hallucinogenics which caused him to have nightmare visions, during these visions the Ex New Crusader wounded himself severely while trying to fight off invisible assailants.
'It was all caught on camera and everything, we have to watch him constantly, so when dinner finished he flipped, it was way too dangerous to enter the cell and so we had to wait for him to blow himself out and then tranquilise him before we could restrain and treat him. There was blood everywhere,' claimed the source at the prison.
The Home Secretary confirmed shortly afterwards that there was an incident at the detention facility holding Black and that he was 'badly injured in a serious short term psychotic reaction to a chemical induced into his system.' Though it was also said that the ex hero was recovering and would make a full recovery from the self inflicted injuries.
This incident raises real concern for the hero who is thought to be very high on the hit list of every criminal organisation on the planet. If they can get to him once then they can do so again.
Security expert and Internationally known ex S.H.I.E.L.D agent Jack Bauer was keen to stress the importance of protecting Union Black while he is in custody. 'The government is responsible for his welfare and if they cant keep him safe then they should turn him over to S.H.I.E.L.D, pure and simple. To have him killed in a British jail as he does his time justly would send a message out to every hero and Vigilante out there, trust the government at the risk of your own life. That is an unacceptable situation.'
Black is said to be in a secure Hospital and will be transferred back to his prison cell as soon as possible to continue his recovery.
