===='''1: Panacea Leaves'''====
If Panacea walks away from the city's conflicts, unable to be convinced by Tattletale to join the Undersiders and use her powers, the small wars are won and the city isn't condemned. New Wave and several Independent Capes fold into the Protectorate/Wards. Shatterbird's flock is ousted from the city and becomes almost a second Slaughterhouse Nine. Coil as his Thomas Calvert identity becomes PRT Director of Brockton and has Dinah as among the new recruits, seizing control of the city's cape element in exchange for sacrificing leadership of it. Cauldron decides that the city's Project Terminus has failed and become free to step in without fear of ruining the experiment. They kill Noelle, Trickter leaves, the Travellers are returned home under the condition of becoming Cauldron agents on Aleph, and the Triumvirate enters and cleans up the rest of the city. The Triumvirate is still outed as connected to Cauldron.

Panacea and Glory Girl reconnect, leave New Wave and join the Guild. Panacea slowly becomes more comfortable using her powers. The Undersiders leave and Skitter becomes intent on dealing with the "monsters" due to some really grisly & irredeemable things she did in Guild-occupied Brockton Bay and the memories of the Slaughterhouse and Shatterbird's flock(along with some two-way influence Panacea had on her and she did Panacea). She leaves her dad and Brockton, and throws herself into more conflict trying to find answers (i.e Shatterbird's connection to Cauldron, Cauldron in general, things Tattletale picked up regarding the Triumvirate). She and the Undersiders may possibly contact Cauldron and are asked to work to help the latter, with the Undersiders picking up new recruits and giving Cauldron Vials to some of their unpowered allies.

Jack Slash makes a new team using Cherish to turn Heroes into Villains, and they run into Shatterbird's flock, the latter who has now become an international villain group and has recruited Trickster. The two groups plan to reunite at Endgame and target the most powerful capes, including Panacea and the Undersiders. Many of the Undersiders die in time for Endgame and it is only with Golem stepping in late that it doesn't become a complete loss. Jack and Shatterbird's groups either draws Scion's attention with their actions, or target Scion outright. Cauldron, believing Shatterbird to be the Broadcaster, tries to intervene and turn the group against Scion. They fail, and Scion instead works with Jack's and Shatterbird's groups - some of the nastiest individuals around, all together and working in concert, with Jack guiding Scion.
