After talking to a few different members, I came up with the idea of the apartment and I think it would work best for now. This way the heroes have a settled place and it will be easier for them to interact with both the world and each other. Maybe they can find a meta club or hang out to meet others, etc. While I think the circus worked well for a time, I believe it is time to settle the characters down, let them make real friends (supporting cast) and maybe even try to have lives.

The MCCA is dead, the current President is against what the MCCA did to active Metagene holders. I do not believe the US government will be much of a problem.

Or we can have the team settle in a new place (a brand new country). That would leave us a great deal to explore, create and develope. This very thing was one of the key reasons that TOMB stories worked so well (One Sunny Day, etc...).
As for General Forrest, you can keep him in the story if you would like to (this is permission coming right from his creator ).
My new character, Sam, has a small apartment building that can easily hold the whole team plus a few others and we can slowly form it into both a home and HQ (a home more importantly IMO)
