Marvel Superheroes - Issue # 3 "Maybe we waited too long"

Issue # 3 picks up immediately following the FBI and local SWAT swarming the hotel floor and rescuing our heroes and fellow hotel residents who were trapped after the game convention.  So as our new heroes are quickly discovering that any interaction with law enforcement involves a lot of time spent being questioned and interrogated as to what transpired.  Over the next 6 hours the people who where trapped on the hotel floor discover that for the past several days they were missing completely as far as the FBI is concerned.  The hotel floor was empty with no trace of any who should have been present.

Agent Miller of the FBI did not really believe the story about being stuck on an inescapable hotel floor for three days, but at the same time between the convention and now what had transpired on the hotel floor, he didn't have a reasonable explanation.  Since they all told the same story and all the details matched, he eventually released everyone except George Dillie (the guy that was going to attack Simon and the little girl).  He was going to keep him on assault and attempted kidnapping charges since the girl in questions was now missing.

Our heroes quietly left the cursed hotel and found a small cheap out of the way motel to stay at and gather their thoughts.  During the course of the evening they discovered that they were able to do some amazing things.  Al discovered that he could alter the state of a substance, such as milk.  He made a glass of milk instantly sour and then as he concentrated he made the glass of milk un-sour.  While this Catalyst power was amazing, Simon found that he could actually fly!  After a quick flight around downtown he came back to the hotel.

Al and Simon decided that they needed more time to figure out what they were capable of and that they would both head back to Simon's place in Boulder City, NV until they worked out the specifics.
