Editing Boston (section)

==History==
===Background===
Grace Lands was born in Boston, as presumably was her brother, [[Andrew Hawke]]. They were traveling there by ferry when they encountered [[Scion]]. Andrew was silent from the moment he met Scion until they reached Boston, at which point he began babbling like a child to the assembled reporters on the dock.<ref>[[Interlude 1.x]]</ref>

[[Bakuda]] spoke with a noticeable Boston accent when out of costume, suggesting she grew up there.<ref name="I6 e1">"The little bird's awake," a girl spoke, with a hint of a nasal Boston accent. [...] Sitting on the bench beside her was a girl about her own age.  The girl had an Asian cast to her features.  Her eyes, though, were a very pale blue, betraying some Western heritage. - [http://worm.wikia.com/wiki/Interlude_6 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 6]]</ref>

[[Faultline's Crew]] fought the Boston [[Protectorate]] team at the [[Parahuman Asylum]], where they met [[Labyrinth]].<ref>After [[Faultline]] had enlisted [[Gregor the Snail|him]] and [[Newter]], a job had taken them into a [[Parahuman Asylum|high security asylum]].  They had been there to question someone about the Dragonslayers, a villain group that used tinker technology stolen from the most powerful and highest profile tinker in the world for petty theft and mercenary work.  Their invasion of the asylum had not gone as well as it might have, and had led to a high-tech lockdown of the facility.  Not only did it extend their mission by several hours, but it had led to issues with [[Labyrinth|one of the residents]], a parahuman that apparently had to be moved regularly, lest her influence over her surroundings spread beyond the confines of her cell, making her a serious problem for the staff, other residents and unwitting bystanders.<br/><br/>In the end, after dealing with the dispatched squad from the Boston Protectorate and getting the information they needed about the Dragonslayers, they had recruited the girl. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/12/10/interlude-5/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 5]]</ref>

Blasto began operating in April 2009.<ref name=":3"/> [[Night]] and [[Fog]] moved to Boston the same year, following [[Purity]] abandoning E88.<ref name="4.x e1">“Kayden,” he said, when he’d stopped, “You’re already associated with me.  People say our names in the same breath, even when we haven’t worked together in two years.  When my name appears in the newspapers, yours is never far behind.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/10/11/interlude-3%C2%BD-bonus/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 3.5 (Bonus)|Purity's Interlude]]</ref>

Purity's interlude is set in 2011, meaning that she left E88 in 2009.<ref name=":4">Purity had gone solo, while Night and Fog had splintered off to form their own duo in Boston not long after.  All reunited, apparently. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/11/05/hive-5-1/ Excerpt] from [[Hive 5.1]]</ref><ref name=":5">[[Tattletale|I]] remembered that you left the Empire when Purity did.  And when she came back?  So did you. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/18/buzz-7-10/ Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.10]]</ref>
===[[Boston Games]]===
When several major villains were arrested and their gangs dispersed villains from across the northeast flocked to boston to fill the power vacuum. Heroes, like the newly re-christened [[New Wave]], came in to make sure the gang war didn't engulf the city. So the Boston Games began.<ref>“Would’ve been in Boston.  The slang term in the ‘scene’ was the Boston Games.”<br/><br/>Ashley smiled for the first time.<br/><br/>For the rest of the room, I explained, keeping half of an eye on Mrs. Yamada, to make sure I wasn’t overstepping.  “A series of arrests in Boston saw a shift in the power balance of local gangs.  That’s a pretty common thing, but the Protectorate team followed up on it hard, toppling just about every major and most minor gangs and villains in the city, leaving a void that was bigger than usual.  Villains of every power level and stripe flocked to the city, villains in neighboring cities had a vested interest in having a foothold there as a place to retreat to or a place to expand, and it became an entangled nightmare of villain politics and power plays.”<br/><br/>“Time of my life,” Ashley said.<br/><br/>“Heroes, like the PRT, and like my family’s team, followed, to try and keep the peace until things settled.  My family’s team was Lady Photon, Manpower, Flashbang, Brandish, Lightstar and Fleur.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/23/flare-2-5/ Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.5]]</ref><ref>[[Eclipse x.2]]</ref>

[[Blastgerm]] unleashed the Woad Giant.<ref>[[Eclipse x.6]]</ref><ref>[[Eclipse x.7]]“That’s my concern, not yours,” Blasto said.  “If they aren’t here already, then they’re going to kill my giant and leave.  You’re fine, it’s chill.”</ref>

===Story Start===
[[The Travelers]] visited Boston, paying [[Accord]] for the privilege of operating in his territory. They agreed to attack [[Blasto]] for him in exchange for costumes crafted using his power. [[Sundancer]] burst in during the meeting to warn Trickster, annoying Accord. [[Perdition]] had attacked [[Noelle]], creating several dangerous clones of himself, and leading them to expel him from the group and hand him over to Accord. He put them in touch with [[Coil]], who claimed that [[Dinah]] had predicted he was capable of curing Noelle.<ref name=":2">[[Migration 17.8]]</ref>

When [[Purity]] rejoined [[E88]], Night and Fog left Boston and returned to [[Brockton Bay]].<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":5" />

[[Paige Mcabee]] was tried and convicted in Boston. She was placed in a containment truck there with [[Lung]] and [[Bakuda]] to be sent to the [[Birdcage]].<ref name="I6 e2">Paige hesitated to talk again, knowing how easy the girl was to provoke, but the silence was crushing.  "I guess it's a good thing this is a long drive, from Boston to British Columbia." - [http://worm.wikia.com/wiki/Interlude_6 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 6]]</ref>

The remainder of the Chosen moved to Boston. They destroyed Blasto's lab, forcing him to work with Accord.
