CRUSADERS RETURN

MI13 Director Union Jack

Its been one week since The Crusaders came back into the public eye and so far the reaction has been mixed. Government officials have expressed their concern since the interim MI13 Director; Union Jack, has informed them that all of her powered staff are currently missing in action following an 'off world operation' and that she is being linked to operations conducted by the last Director of the agency; Former Union Jack Joseph Chapman who is under arrest and being held at the modified Maze prison awaiting trial.

The team have not been seen in action since their arrival at a military base in the Lake District and have so far released no statement as to what they have been doing for the last three weeks or what they know about the Avengers going missing, the investigations into MI13 and the missing MI13 operatives. Theories range about the teams movements from The Crusaders dealing with the potential threat from the Avengers and The X-Men to them taking the MI13 operatives off world and executing them for their actions in the dimensional war. Though no evidence supports any of the more extreme rumours surrounding the team.

The real question surrounding the team has to be; What next for The Crusaders? With the MI13 operatives missing and the agency almost certainly facing disbandment with possible charges still to be pressed on anyone who served under Chapman surely they must look to distance themselves from Union Jack and Aspect and if they do that where then does the blame stop?

Too many questions, few options and even fewer answers seem to have left The Crusaders on shaky ground indeed.
