Synopsis for "Say Farewell to Wall Street"

Team Achilles teleports to Wall Street and is greeted with gunfire from Citizen Soldier's men. Through the teamwork of Charles Pickney and Flint, they are able to eliminate their attackers. However, one of the attackers, who is dead, rises up and fires a rocket on them. Fortunately, Flint caught it and disposed of it. She then neutralizes the shooter by throwing a large piece of concrete at him. Realizing that Citizen Soldier has a superhuman who can manipulate the dead like the ones at the Federal Reserve, Santini orders his team to be ready and enters the New York Stock Exchange.

After taking out some gunmen and making sure they do not rise up, Team Achilles finds every stockbroker inside already dead and posing as they were before the riot on television. They encounter Citizen Soldier himself. Santini has his team to flank around Citizen Soldier while Tefibi is tasked to repair the Exchange before Santini demands the super-terrorist why he is doing this. Citizen Soldier explains that he is leading a rebellion against what he deemed as a corrupted and tyrannical American government in which he already carried out in politically destroying President Patrick Kent's credibility and disrupting the American economy.

Citizen Soldier then notices Tefibi trying to repair the Exchange and throws his shield at him. This prompts Stormwatch to open fire on him, but Citizen Soldier proves to be far more formidable and effortlessly subdues nearly every Stormwatch member, as Citizen Soldier knows very well of them including their names. Santini then realizes that Citizen Soldier's presence in Wall Street is nothing but a diversion. Citizen Soldier concurs, revealing that his intended target was JP Morgan Chase and the Bank of New York in which his men have already destroyed the banks and all its records, allowing the sudden loss of banking services to cause serious damage on America's economy. Thus having the American people lose their faith on their nation's financial institution.

Santini asks Citizen Soldier again for his purpose. He clarifies that he is destroying the very American government that had become a dictatorial empire, such as allowing a former Klansman to run America. He even admits that he himself and Santini are more alike than the latter could ever admit, and would have offered Santini to join his cause if he doesn't despise post-humans. Defeated, Santini calls Stormwatch to retreat.

Just as Stormwatch leaves through a Project Entry portal, Citizen Soldier contacts his follower, Jumpmaster, to teleport himself and his followers back to their headquarters. Shortly after this, Team Achilles returns. The team had faked their retreat and secretly scanned and videotaped Citizen Soldier, capturing his teleportation signatures during his spiel with Santini, who also discreetly left a tracer on Citizen Soldier's boot while they were fighting. This will allow Tefibi to pinpoint where Citizen Soldier and his people will strike next in the future.
