Icon doesn't wait for the members of the Lost Haven Police Special Crimes Squad to arrive on the scene to take Richter in. Instead, he takes to the skies and heads straight for what was once Centennial Square.
Flying at top speed, it only takes him seconds to arrive at the once thriving neighbor hood. Once this area had been a busy neighborhood, filled with apartment buildings and local businesses. Now it lays in ruins, first devestated by a massive bomb that Icon himself was unable to stop in time, then futher decimated during the alien invasion.
Icon stops over Centennial Square, looking for any sign of Riot and Jenny. He focuses, utilizing his super hearing to try and get a clue as to their whereabouts, however there is too much noise in the area and he is unable to distinguish the background noise from any signs of his sister and his arch enemy.
Growing desperate, Icon closes his eyes and concentrates, using his radar sense he scans the area. It takes several seconds, but he gets a hit. About three blocks from his current position he picks up two people barricaded inside one of the destroyed hotels. Immediately, Icon makes his way toward his target.
Icon crashes through the side of the building, sending a rush of plaster and stone cascading into the building with him. When the dust settles, he finds himself inside the old hotel's grand ballroom...and he is not alone. He finds himself staring into the eyes of one of his oldest enemies, Riot. Standing just to Riot's left is Icon's little sister, Jenny.
"It's ok Jenny, I'm taking you out of here."
"I don't think so, Scotty."
"What is it that you want Riot? This is low, even for you."
"You've ruined my life. Because of you, I lost everything. So I'm going to return the favor. I'm going to destroy you, Icon. That is why I came back....revenge, nothing more, nothing less."
Icon wastes little time. He leaves his feet, flying toward Riot. However, Riot steps aside, grabbing Jenny by the hair until he can clutch her neck, using her as a human shield.
"Get back or I'll snap her neck!"
"Let her go Riot. She's got nothing to do with this."
Riot gives a sadistic smile as he produces a sharp blade, threatening to cut Jenny's throat.
"No, she has everything to do with this. You took everything from me..I'm just returning the favor."
With that Riot takes the blade and jabs it into the side of Jenny's ribcage, then pushes her to the ground, using Icon's distraction to escape.
"JENNY!"
Icon rushes to where his sister lay. Cradling her in his arms, he keeps telling her that it will be alright. He scoops her up in his arms, immediately taking off in the direction of the nearest hospital. However, as fast as he is, he's not fast enough. She is gone before he arrives at the hospital.
