While, if this thing attacked the AoF, he would have his mothership shot out of the fucking sky by Avalanche Missles/Pulse Laser Cannons/Mass Drivers when he failed to respond to the hail.
The magister doesnt believe in superheroes.

Simple! The heroes who covered it up figured it'd cause a massive panic or public outcry, knowing literally EVERY superhero who went after him failed.
That the situation got so bad, they needed to rely on a normal child to save them all. They wanted the public to keep having faith in the heroes that protected them, and not feel the need to send their children out to fight.
So they simply made a speech about their heroic resolve giving them the power to break out of Assimilatron's grasp. And gave the credit of Assimilatron's defeat to the Wraith. A more believable "Badass Normal" hero.

Interesting fun fact: Jason was still operating as the Wraith at this time, but was overlooked since he didn't have powers. So he planned an elaborate, insane, incredibly dangerous rescue operation to free the other heroes. The sort of plan that would leave Batman and Iron Man spinning.
...then a six year old saves everyone on accident.

Actually, it's a 5-year old that saves everyone with a relatively amateur plan that worked out near-perfectly!
...then a couple of those rescued heroes swept her heroism under the rug. And even tried to pass on a good chunk of the credit to Jason!
Whether or not he took up that offer, he figured out what really happened.

Jason does take the credit, actually (after humiliating and exposing those other heroes) if only to protect Tara.
Taking down a Class-S threat puts you on everyone's watchlist, so he decides to take both the credit and the heat to save Tara.

Ahh, of course! Basically doing that, so she still got to enjoy her childhood without having public media attention forced on her.
And well...realizing she did this by herself, because she thought trusting adults with this was NOT a good idea. I mean she grew up with Watts and Milla/Manchild and Womanchild. XD
Cue to a long talk about getting adults for help before risking her life.
