The Heartbroken began investigating Brockton Bay looking for any wayward siblings. <ref name="23.3 e1">Tt here.<br><br>[...]<br><br>Heartbreaker making initial forays, decided to pay a visit.  Can’t tell if he’s invading or after Regent.  Red Hands are a little more aggressive but not too bad.  Meeting for negotiations tonight.  Lost Garden approacheth, sending members after us and trying to clear way for Barrow to advance.  Annoying but no problem until they enter city limits.<br><br>[...]<br><br>Worst days since right after Bsaw.  He won’t say in his letter but you would want to know.  Got better when Red Hand and Heartbreaker came. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/category/stories-arcs-21/arc-23-drone/23-03/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.3]]</ref><!--  
Focusing the team against them?
Jean Paul was part of the team that took over Brockton bay

Two members of the heartbroken fought  each other as part of opposing groups?   -->
After Jean-Paul sacrificed his life for her, Aisha made the resolution to remove Nikos in Jean-Paul's memory.<ref name="24.5">“So maybe we respect him by respecting that.”<br><br>There was no response to that for a few seconds.<br><br>“Yeah,” Imp said, her voice small.  “I’m going to fucking kill his dad for him.”<br><br>“That’s not what I meant,” I said.  “I meant we should remember the best part of him.”<br><br>“That part of him would’ve killed his dad too,” Imp said.<br><br>I sighed.  I wouldn’t win here. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/20/crushed-24-5/ Excerpt] from [[Crushed 24.5]]</ref>

Nikos was killed by Aisha with the help of Citrine.<ref name="WoG">Wildbow: The Citrine/Imp vs. Heartbreaker interlude I ended up canceling would've touched far more on that - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/worm-quotes-and-wog-repository.294448/page-15#post-27981940/ Source]</ref> She moved most of the family to Brockton Bay and formed them into a team.<ref name="25.6 e1">“I told the others.  They’re on their way.”<br><br>“Okay,” I answered.  ''Fast response.''<br><br>No.  Too fast.  I reached out with bugs, and I sensed the crowd, the way they were standing.<br><br>Here and there, there were people who shouldn’t have been paying attention to the scene.  A young girl inside one of the buildings with the graffiti-mural on the exterior, holding a baby.  A boy was standing a little too far away to see, but he didn’t approach to get a better view.<br><br>There were a small handful of others.<br><br>I looked at the rings on the memorial.  “Heartbreaker’s.”<br><br>“He collected them.  I ''uncollected'' them.”<br><br>“I’d heard he died.”<br><br>Imp nodded slowly.  “Said I would.  I told you I’d kill his dad for him.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/scarab-25-6/ Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.6]]</ref>

Presumably survived with little to no casualties even with the opening strike on the East Coast. Kept close to Imp during lulls in the action.<ref name="28.6">Aisha, sitting next to Rachel, with the dogs under their seats where they’d be out of the way.  The Heartbroken were filling the seats immediately around them.  Eerie distortions of Alec, with different frames, hair colors, genders and fashion styles, but close enough for me to notice.<br><br>The movie showed a dog on screen, being chased by a group of kids.  I could see Imp’s face in the dark, looking as pleased as Rachel]] appeared annoyed.<br><br>“''It’s not the same dog,''” Rachel hissed the words.  “''Why isn’t anyone seeing that?  Same breed, but totally different dogs.''”<br><br>“''Pretend'',” Aisha said, her smile not faltering in the slightest.<br><br>One of the younger Heartbroken shushed them. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/14/cockroaches-28-6/ Excerpt] from [[Cockroaches 28.6]]</ref>

===Early-[[Ward]]===
The Heartbroken, with the rest of the Undersiders, were called in by Tattletale to [[Hollow Point]] in preparation for the [[Mathers Compound Assault|attack]] on the [[Fallen]] compound.<ref>I recognized Tattletale, from the lead car.  She had a kid with a bird on his shoulder with her.  She smiled.<br><br>I saw Snuff, and I saw other assorted henchmen.  Soldiers, like Coil had once used.<br><br>In one of the cars further back, Imp climbed out.  Eerie to see her older, now. There was a crew of kids with her, all wearing masks. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/03/10/shadow-5-5/ Excerpt] from [[Shadow 5.5]]</ref> It is unknown whether they actually participated in the attack.

===Post-[[Goddess' Takeover]]===
When [[March]] went after the [[Undersiders]], Imp and the Heartbroken accompanied [[Tattletale]] in their escape.<ref>The camera panned.  Chicken Little wasn’t the only kid there.  There were others.  Younger girls and boys, most with dark, curly hair.  All with masks and costumes.<br><br>Bags.<br><br>And finally, her back partially turned, Tattletale talking to another woman, who might have been Bitch or might have been Foil- only a sliver of the woman was visible.<br><br>“She brought troops,” Tristan said.<br><br>“Heartbroken,” I said.  “And luggage.  They’ve left the New Brockton area.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/10/30/polarize-10-3/ Excerpt] from [[Polarize 10.3]]</ref> They were present at the villain meeting at Sherwood Span.<ref>Villains had assembled in Sherwood Span.  The area was sparse, spread out.  Some buildings were in construction, but it looked like that had stopped.  Mostly it was scattered houses.<br><br>[...]<br><br>“Our individual cells, sub-groups.  Heartbroken in one group, our guys in another.  Our mercs can hang out as their own group.  Send Foil and Parian off on their own.  Faultline should be close but not with us.  We’re too big a mob and everyone’s staring.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/11/24/interlude-10-x/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 10.x II]]</ref>

Roman, Darlene, Candy, and Amias accompanied [[Chicken Little]] when he visited [[Lookout]] in the hospital.<ref>[[Interlude 10.z II]]</ref> When [[Breakthrough]] agreed to work with the Undersiders to address March, [[Love Lost]], and [[Cradle]], three members of the Heartbroken were assigned to each squad.<ref>The Heartbroken were more volatile as more of them were gathered into a single unit.  Heartbroken were thus split into three groups, and family dynamics seemed to factor in there.  Siblings were separated and kept together, depending. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/01/05/blinding-11-5/ Excerpt] from [[Blinding 11.5]]</ref>
