Truly Bizarre Rumors

While out on patrol you overhear an interesting rumor that might be worth investigating.

You overhear two citizens talking about the Freakshow. You listen in hoping to get a lead on some of their more recent criminal activities, however what you hear seems incredibly unlikely if not impossible. According to the two gossiping citizens a group of Freakshow, who were inspired by the bravery of a school teacher named Miss Francine, have taken to stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. One such bandit has been spreading the 'good word' of Miss Francine's teachings and has been educating other freaks. Inspiring them to become whatever they want to be. You hear one such unlikely tale of a Freak going off to start his own business in Peregrine Island.

However, this doesn't sit well with the majority of the Freakshow and they have begun attacking their ex-comrades causing quite a ruckus in a Brickstown warehouse where this 'school' has been in session.

It sounds like those Freakshow are seeking to liberate themselves from their past, you could go and give them a hand.

Alternatively, you could go and beat the snot out of every Freakshow in that warehouse.

Hero Acceptance

Briefing

While you find it hard to believe violent, destructive, party animal hooligans like the Freakshow could actually turn their lives around and make something of themselves. However, part of you hopes this is true. It might be inspiring to other villains in Paragon City to see what these ex-criminals could do for society. You don't condone stealing from the rich, or from anyone for that matter, but at least they're not killing innocent people.

This Freakshow educator and his pupils sound like they could use your help before the teacher's ex-gang members come and cause them harm.

Help out Freakshow educator

You take note of the warehouse where this violence is taking place and head off. You hope you're not too late, these ex-Freakshow deserve a chance to straighten themselves out and this educator might be just the person to do it. The Freakshow can likely relate to one of their own.

Mission Objective(s)

Total chaos has broken out in this warehouse. You hear loud electronic music blasting in the distance which is drowning out the sound of violence.

Debriefing

This ex-Freakshow who goes by the handle of "The Learner" has been teaching other Freakshow members interested in leading a 'normal' life. While you were giving him direction on how to do this without committing crimes after bringing all of the violent Freakshow to justice, you were ambushed by Shock Treatment, a notorious Rogue Isles villain who was hellbent on destroying this schoolhouse for some reason. She seemed to have an intense desire to crush the hopes and dreams of the ex-Freakshow.

Vigilante Acceptance

Briefing

While you find it hard to believe violent, destructive, party animal hooligans like the Freakshow could actually turn their lives around and make something of themselves. Whatever these freaks are up to will fail ultimately, they're animals and animals cannot deny their nature. All they know is mindless violence, it's best to end this here and now. The best way to go about doing that is to beat down those responsible for the violence: the leaders on both sides. The educator Freakshow, his students and those leading the raid on the warehouse.

Defeat Freakshow Leaders

These animals only understand one thing. Violence. That's the only way they learn. No amount of books, education or self-help tapes will straighten these beasts out. You take note of the warehouse where the Freakshow violence is happening and head off.
