Plot Summary
One day when Sharon F.was doing parkour in the city, she was nearly home when she noticed smoke from a neighboring building. She could see the form of a man on an upper floor. Sirens were heard in the background, but Sharon F.did not hesitate. Pulling up her hoodie, she scaled up the side of the building, using a combination of her parkour skills and her enhanced physical abilities and she managed to pull the man over shoulder. She scaled down the building the same way, man over her shoulder. The sirens had drawn onlookers though and Sharon F.tried to scramble away, after carrying the man to a just arrived ambulance.
It was too late though and that night videos showed up on the Internet of her scaling the building with the man over her shoulder and at least a partial flash of her face. Soon the clip was on the news with asking for identification of the person since she was wanted for questioning and potential involvement with the arson. One coworker recognized her and calls the authorities.
The police, suspecting mutant involvement after seeing the footage themselves and considering the man saved was actually a known arsonist, passed it on to SHIELD. Antoine Triplett and Melinda May were dispatched to Rapid City to investigate and possibly to arrest the mutant. At the mansion, the clip and a post on the blog 'Mutant Watch' were seen by Sue through an automatic online monitoring system that was part of her job at XFI. After a meeting and figuring out assistance might be required, Rogue and Sue were dispatched to check out the situation.
At the end of her work day the next day, Sharon F.was confronted by May and Triplet and taken in for questioning. Sue investigated and managed to get her hands on some footage from a traffic camera nearby that showed Sharon F.entering the building alone, as well as some other footage that showed Sharon F.a couple of blocks away when the fire started.
As Sharon F.was being questioned by Trip and May, a cop arrived with the news that two people have shown up with new evidence. Sue and Rogue hid their identities with image inducers and pretended to be lawyers. The new evidence was viewed and finding it consistent with Sharon’s story, May and Trip agreed Sharon F.should be cleared from all charges. The police disagreed, but Trip and May argued it was their jurisdiction and insisted that Sharon F.would be cleared as a suspect.
Rogue and Sue told Sharon F.about the mansion and she was interested in that, especially since her 'cover' was blown and all her acquaintances knew she was a mutant.
