The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

Aura looked over the box and smiled, it was not much but she palnned to make a number of trips. Denied any use in combat, Aura had spent hours gathering material from her warehouse, for somthing the X-s would never forget. As She aproached the gate to the mansion, Aura rubber her head a bit, still surprised at how short her hair was. Being Male was really a new experince and not one she liked, David was weaker then her physsicly, at she was pretty sure, and she despised not having a sheild in case she was attacked from behind. She had a lot more respect for Meld and others who were vulnrable to that. Staggering, Aura dropped the box, and gribbed the bars of the gate breathing hard.
The Sky swirled and and the land shifted, she ahd to step cide as a large tree suddenly grew up behind her, almost fifty feet. She closed her eyes trying to block it out, but the scent of pine found it's way to her nose. She Turned quickly only to see Sayre one again in front her, mocking her. "Miracle betrayed us, she used us" He said, his voice echoeing in her mind. She forgot about being male about Beind David and Swung her Aura blade at him, she missed but she was close, her secound swing struck but Aura did not cut him, instead she felt pain, horrable pain in her arm. Had he broken it, but how without touching her. She was unsure if a secound strike would do any good, it Seemed Sayre had learned how to counter her, this time she formed a drill and punched at Sayre it truck but he only laughed, and her other hand rang with the same pain as her first. "Kneeling Down aura struggeled to regain herself. "They are dead, I am Alive, i am Aura" she said growing quiter as she said it, not on purpos, but the truggle, was real. Aura normelly killed dayly, the adrenniline rush served to keep the images at bay, to keep her sane and to keep her skills sharrp. But the first was easily the most preailent of the three.
Abyss was sitting in outside looking at the sky, he was being quiet and contemplative about what the heck had gone wrong…and more so why he hadn’t rushed to the sanctuary to go and make sure what was going on with his body. He simply didn’t care, right now; all he wanted to do was look up at the stars and lay here. His peace was interrupted when a man was at the gate with a box and then was listening intently to the man’s break down it wasn’t til the very last that he was truly intrigued it was enough to make him stand up and start walking toward him.
“Answer me strait, and the first time please, you have nothing to loose by doing so, who did you just say you were?” There wasn’t the slightest bit of malice or threat in his voice; it was closer to hope than anything and almost a bit of pleading.
He looked at the man and tried to imagine that Aura was in the same situation as him. Was this his new ward in front of him? Oh, how he was glad he wasn’t in a woman’s body.
Aura rubbed her head firmly, both to try and calm herself and the images in her mind. This body wa sgetting to her, despite her best efforts, she felt a bit like a toothless cat wanting to hunt but unable to. Options ran through Aura's mind, she was better at hiding it in her own body. She knew shin, well knowing him was a stretch really. She had met him well helping ghost at the riot by the book store. He did look like shin as well, Aura knew others had been switched, but also knew some people had not. Still his words suggested he had heard her words, looking for confirmation of some sort. Then Aura's eyes, well David's opened wide in realization and she smiled, he was asking who she said she was which suggested to her that he already knew of people that were switched.
"Despite appearances, i am Aura, something very strange is happening, and i am not the only one who this plight seems to have hit i have met others" she said unwilling to give names yet, as she still thought he was shin. She wanted to cause damage to the mansion but maybe getting her body back would work better. "It seems this body's inability for direct combat is getting to me" she said as in after thought giving his short haired head a rub, trying to calm her mind down. She wonderd if shin knew what was causing this, it made no strategic sense. When did reality get so mad at people it had to uprrot the basics like waking up without something extra between your legs.
"Despite appearances, i am Aura, something very strange is happening, and i am not the only one who this plight seems to have hit i have met others"
“Aura, I can never thank you enough for what you just told me.” He grabbed the gate with his good hand and went to remove it, he yanked and it stayed there…He looked to his other arm in the stained cast and frowned.
"It seems this body's inability for direct combat is getting to me"
“It’s me Abyss. I woke up Asian…and have already been getting him in trouble. This guy’s girlfriend isn’t going to be happy with him. or me I suppose. So it is more then just us. I would help you get over the fence but this Shin fellow seems to come with broken parts. That and he is awfully weak.. And I can’t figure out what the heck he does. I have been laying there trying to cause my self to go into a defense mode or something”
He paused and looked to Aura. “ You know looking that box of yours makes me realize how badly we can mess with these people.”
Aura was confused by Shin's words, even more so when he tried to yank at the gate. Then He mentioned a very intresting fact, one he woke up asian, a delemma to be sure, but more importently, he was Abyss. Maybe he could not chuck a mountain in Shin's body, but his power was useful. She looked at the cast on the arm, tilting her head a bit at it. She looked at her own arm, it could break just as easy, it was somthing to keep in mind.
Aura could help abyss with the secound question, she had seen triangle man in action and so although unable to spread the finer details could be some what useful, she hoped. "I have seen triangle man" she pointed at Abysses new body before continueng. "In action, he seems to generate colored triangles he can manipulate into a sheild and other things, but thats about as useful as i cna be thare. " she said hoping it helped a bit. She had no idea if Shin mentally brought to excistence or of they flew out of his rear, though she was pretty sure the latter was not the case.
"This guy is called David" she said pointing at herself, mostly becuse it was even a bit confuseing for her. "He can acess the internet anywhare, however all i can do with the power is get pop up adds and invest money into somthing called sharmen ultra" she said not really sure what it was but David now owned several hundred shares of the toilet paper brand,. "I understand your feelings though, as you are seeing Life for those of average strength, i am learning what it is like to be vulnrable at all times. I must say i despise it" she said, even as she jumped up reaching onto a branch and swung herself up onto the branch, she went up a few more, untill she was higher then the fance and leapt over it, landing in the yard in a roll. her eyes brightend slightly.
~~"In action, he seems to generate colored triangles he can manipulate into a sheild and other things, but thats about as useful as i cna be thare.
“Triangle Man?” that made him think of a band called they might be giants. It almost set him to singing it. Odd. He wondered momentarily if that had something to do with the body he was in.
“interesting.” He started concentrating on making triangles. And!...nothing.
~~"This guy is called David"
“ouch, I was going to say triangles seemed unimpressive but david, doesn’t really have much of a watch out ring to it.”
~~"He can acess the internet anywhare, however all i can do with the power is get pop up adds and invest money into somthing called sharmen ultra”
“Toilet paper? You are buying sock in toilet paper with your powers….I guess I can’t talk as I can’t get wonder arm here to even use his power…how does a guy with a shielding power manage to let his arm get broken?”
~~"I understand your feelings though, as you are seeing Life for those of average strength, i am learning what it is like to be vulnrable at all times. I must say i despise it"
“Yeah, I gotta say I am missing my old body quite a bit… “
He looked to Aura and grinned. “ So we have unlimited access to this place…how are we going to make them remember it?”
"yea, i should look up what stock is to" she said to herself, in truth she had heard of it but had no idea as to it's function. She sort of expected it would be mailed to her, or him rather. "Im not sure really ow his power works, i saw him at Full circle during the riot when we helped a woman called ghost when rioters charged" she said tilting her head at Abyss's point. It would be like her breaking her arm, he foce needed would likely kill her first. "Had to not be expecting it, maybe a jelous lover" she said figuring he would of had to of been taken by surpriss for the person to get through.
"My first thoughts were to ram that plane into their front door, but their maybe mutants thare who simply don't know their is an alternative, and that kind of act of found out might turn them against us. Any useing these bodies to fram the x-men might turn against us, more so if were stuck in these bodies and still can't use the powers to scratch ourselfs. Maybe she should copy their personel files, some of the newer residents might be willing to here us out as well as the powers of the mutants here so we can counter them later" she said trying to disect the situation in her head.They could do so much more if they knew how to use the powers better, but right now it was like being human. "David here, did help me rob a bank a few months back, he did well" she said beleiveing over all he had, though she was sure he had never done so before.
He shook his head in exasperation, what odd powers the x’s had.
~~ "Im not sure really ow his power works, i saw him at Full circle during the riot when we helped a woman called ghost when rioters charged"
“interesting, I think I need to get out more, You seem to know more mutants then I do these days.”
~~"Had to not be expecting it, maybe a jelous lover"
“Oh? Hmmm I might need to watch my back then…not that I have been using this body for evil already.”
~~"My first thoughts were to ram that plane into their front door, but their maybe mutants thare who simply don't know their is an alternative, and that kind of act of found out might turn them against us.

“I am actually in a pretty forgiving mode…to be honest after everything with Syn, I’d just as soon not hurt anyone for a bit. Lets find a way to tell them what we think of instead. Perhaps there is something to your idea though. Walk with me.”
HE turned around with purpose towards the building. “ I wonder where they keep the plane…it has to be within the property somewhere. It does that hover landing so it could be here with out a landing strip.”
"You meet intresting people fighting gangs, Humans, mutants and zoo animals" she said honestly. She thought back, she ahd met a good number of people and had danced with many of them as well. She realized doing so had served her quite well so did her good memory when it came to people and their powers. It was somthing ingrained in her, as other mutants powers could be used to help or harm you it, helped to learn about them for those reasons, you could better defend yourself from a power you knew then one you did not.
"yeah" she said when Abyss mentioned Syn, the entire KP incident flooded back to her mind like a hammer. SYn was dead, another charge she had failed to protect in the caos of battile. At least this time she had been on her feet when it happoned. Still it was another life she had failed, she ahd to get stronger, more powerful, maybe laying low untill she could do more was a good thing indeed. The pain was clear, even on this false face she now wore. Much Like Miracle Aura beleived this to be her failure as well, she still lacked the power she needed, the power to protect those she cared about.
She walked with abyss, who looked worse then abyss did normally in her opinion maybe it was becuse she used to his real form. He was right as well they did have to keep the plane somwhare. "Either it can turn invisable, or it's undergound" she said thinking to herself. They had to be hiding it and under ground wa sbetter even above ground and invisable it could be bumpe dinto. "Still hiding it up here would mean somone could just bump into it....." she said still unused to the male voice she now had.
~~"You meet interesting people fighting gangs, Humans, mutants and zoo animals"
“Zoo animals?” as odd as it was, that was the one that seemed unreasonable to him the rest was about par for the course. “you know I am always just a phone call away if you ever get into something you’d like assistance with.”
~~"yeah" a gruff nod was offered as he wanted to end that part of the conversation… he had accomplished nothing as far as avenging his little sister went and that infuriated him…he even went to that blasted rally to see if he couldn’t find the culprit being foolish enough to show at the event. He hadn’t.
~~"Either it can turn invisible, or it's underground" she said thinking to herself. They had to be hiding it and under ground was better even above ground and invisible it could be bumped into. "
“”hmmmm, I suppose it could be off sight but nearby as well. The thing is fast and could easily make it with little wait time, but that would be inefficient fuel and time wise. Hmmm, lets see if we can’t find their surveillance to get a better look around…I am guessing that if we watch the tapes long enough we will find where it comes from.”
He opened the door for his fellow man and wondered where they should go to find the security room.
"I know, i just like to fight things i have not encountered before and certain animals can be quite fun to play with. Still i will keep that in mind" she said comforted by the idea Abyss was their for her. So much of this place was different then her former group and this one seemed to have lesser loyalties with certain members. Then again they had their own fair share of issues in their own right, maybe every group did.
"That would make sense" she said looking around curiously as she entered the building, she had only walked it's halls a few times before leaving prior to this, so she was still unused to the vast mansion and where things were, though she was fairly sure people slept upstairs as she woke up there in a bed. "I think upstairs is just dorms" she said thoughtfully a she licked at the paths they could go. "Any idea where we need to go?" she asked for the first time considering abyss might know quite a bit about places like this. "My sense of direction in building can be bad" she said honestly. When in new places she tried to keep to the main corridors for that very reason.
" with any luck we will get our own bodies back, i don't mind being male so much, it's the pop up adds in my head that are anoying" she said shaking her, well his head a bit. "Guess this will also teach us a few things about how to strike this place if the need arises" she said thoughtfully.
~~"I know, i just like to fight things i have not encountered before and certain animals can be quite fun to play with. Still i will keep that in mind"
“Fair enough,, I just pictured people sending zoo animals after you. You are right here after all so, it can’t have been all bad.”
~~"That would make sense" "I think upstairs is just dorms" "Any idea where we need to go?" "My sense of direction in building can be bad"
Reluctantly Abyss shook his Asian head, “ I can only tell you where I would put things and so far they haven’t been too great at using my logic.”
~~" with any luck we will get our own bodies back, i don't mind being male so much, it's the pop up adds in my head that are anoying" "Guess this will also teach us a few things about how to strike this place if the need arises"
“Yeah, we are finding a way to make that happen but for now.” His thought was interrupted by imagining spam in your head. “Yeesh, I do not think I would like brain spam… Hmmm a strike you say?” Another male turned the corner, one he certainly didn’t recognize.
>>“Shinbo! Where have you been buddy? your night to watch the cameras, remember?”
He raised his eyebrows at the male. “Oh, right.” He thought quickly. “There was something I wanted to ask you about one of the cameras.” He motioned to the way the third male had come from. As the new arrival turned around he gave Aura a quick wink and motioned for her to follow.”
Somone interrupted their conversation and Aura's arm had already started coming up, before she realized the motion was pointless without a pink weapon attached. The action went unnoticed and she was glad for that, her mind was so wired to defend herself the actions were automatic, still she fell in line as she heard their luck change and abyss play the fool like a harp. She followed quietly still trying to use this kids power. Her own had been so much simpler or atleast it felt like it had been. The power was even harder to use while moving at all, could he only use his power while concentrating on the power itself. Rubbing her head she pushed the thoughts from her head and smiled.
Aura, in davids body considered the camera's and smiled, as she understood them, they could track you, often without you being visible. She tried to sweep back her hair but it was not thare to put back. One thing she wished whoever did this had done is taken the images from her head and let whoever was in her body play with them for awhile, maybe they would make sence to them. As they aproched the camera room, she looked around curiously, she had expected something a little less vulnerable, this would certainly be one of their main targets, as well as any stairs or elevators. "So i take it it's been another quite night?" she asked their fool, with a smile, which got her a bit of an odd look but the guy passed it off.
Not a step in to the room Abyss was already shooing whoever it was out the door. “Oh, looks like you already took care of it. alright, have a good night!” He was actually shoving the man out the door, As the mansioner started to protest Abyss called with Abyss’s voice. “See ya later!’ The other male was starting to say something but only said it to a door slamming in his face. Shin turned the lock and grinned at Aura. Looking around the multiple screens. “ if we can’t find something worth messing with from here, we should just go home.”
He plopped down in one of the chairs and scanned through the channels. Most of them were point at door ways, in and out, a couple scrolled threw more views than they had screens for. Which meant they had more cameras than they did TV’s, interesting. “huh?... everything else is pointed at something worth watching except for this one pointed at the pool and this one pointed at the basket ball court…do we have our selves some weirdos?”
David watched as the former ocupent was pretty much tossed out the door, he sounded a bit anoyed by the whole thing but that was fine. "Well they certainly have the camera work done, although it seems like something could sneak in if the camera's do not alert to transgressors. The basketball court seems more likely, it's a wide open space, whare as the pool you have to deal with all that water and to much spilling would give you away" Aura reasoned as she walked up to the controls. Flicking one of the small black buttons, one of the camera's switched over to a new hallway, though where the camera was only read B1. Aura had never liked computers particularly well, they just never seemed to do just what she needed.
Sitting down on one of the chairs next to abyss, she flicked another switch, this time one of the camera's stopped on a hallway which read 2-1. After a few moments a girl walked out of her room with only a scantily clad nightgown. "Not quite fining anything....that were looking for anyhow" she said considering the female until she left the camera's area. "I wonder if the guy whose body your in is a pervert" she said with a laugh. "Any idea if the mansion works like the order, with the special stuff hidden somwhare?" she asked trying to see weather ot not the controls for the jet might be incide rather then in security. These people also thought keeping humans around made sence, so they obviously were nit the brightest of people.
