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.

With the intrusion of the disappearing man at the mansion Neena had been prompted to do some investigating. She turned up only a few leads unfortunatley. One of those leads was King Pharmaceuticals. It was a company that was known for it's medical research and medicinal products. This was an odd place for Nika and Streak to be sent on a mission.
Nika didn't question her teacher's instructions. Instead she followed through and headed out to the appointed destination. With Streaks help she would find out as much as possible.

After the intruder had vanished in front of three members of the xmen, Neena found out everything that she could about what was happening. It wasn't much but it was enough for them to start spying on certain people, and or groups. She seemed to be a little vague with the details but it seemed enough for Neena to tell them where to go. He wasn't going to complain, though. This was his first mission with the xmen and he was happy to happy to be a part of it.
Streak finally met up with Nika shortly after she had arrived. He'd never been here but he was sure that it would be an interesting time. He walked up next to her, covered in silver, and said "You ready for this Nika? I think it'll be fun. But probably not easy." Streak was eager to start and see what they were going to be facing.
While waiting for Streak Nika tried to think of how they were going to accomplich their mission. She wasn't sure if they'd be able to just walk in and get a tour of the place. Maybe they could pose as someone with some importance.
"Hey Streak. I guess I'm as ready as I'm going to be. I was thinking we could pose as inspectors for the Fedral Drug Administration. What do you think? I know we don't have any badges. The only other thing I can think of is to sneak in after dark."

"Hey Streak. I guess I'm as ready as I'm going to be. I was thinking we could pose as inspectors for the Fedral Drug Administration. What do you think? I know we don't have any badges. The only other thing I can think of is to sneak in after dark."
"If we wait til dark I don't think well have any problems with needing badges. After dark we can just sneak in and give a whole new meaning to cat burglars." he smiled at Nika so that she knew he was joking. No matter how dangerous the situation Streak thought it was important that they keep some humor as long as they can. Once it was dark Streak started looking for places to where they could enter quietly and hopefully not raise suspicion.
The idea of waiting till after dark did make more sense. Just one problem with that. Nika's snow white fur was a contrast to the darkness. Well, it'll just have to be an inconvenience to overcome. Maybe her fast moves will help counter being seen.
"Let's check the back. Maybe there's a loading bay or at least a back door. I've seen some places that have back doors and people stand out there taking smoke breaks."
Before they got going Nika had one more thing she needed to know.
"Umm...so what all can you do anyways? I'm only asking so I know what abilities we have available to us if we need them.

Streak listened to Nika. After all she was the full xmen and not him. He needed o follow her directions. That's not to say that he wasn't going to give his opinions about what he thinks they should do, but he was going to let her make most of the decisions.
"Good idea. I completely forgot about smoking area entrances into the building." He paused for a second thinking about the best way to explain his powers to her. "Well let's see. I can create pretty much any thing from my silver. And I can phase through objects like walls, doors, and floors. Stuff like that. Not people though. I'm also very good at fighting." he finally said to Nika. After a slight pause he said to her. "What about you? I'm guessing your fast like a cat? Anything else?" Streak asked before waiting for her to answer.
(ooc: feel free to god mod a little so that were already inside the building)
Nika playfully glared at Streak when he asked about her abilities.
"Yes, I'm fast but much faster than a regular cat. I have acute senses and i have supercharged adrenaline which makes me a heck of alot stronger and faster. Only thing is that after it wears off I have to rest depending how long I was in my boosted level. If I'm not careful I could put myself into a coma or worse."
After searching around the building for a few minutes Nika spotted what she was hoping to find. A pair of employees from the building were standing outside a metal door with an exit sign above it and another sign that read 'Smoking Area'. With careful timing they were able to slip inside the building.
Ducking into a darkened office Nika listened carefully. She didn't hear anyone approaching.
"We could try to see what's on the computer in this office. I'm not sure how secure an other areas of higher importance might be."

Streak was intrigued by Nika's powers. He'd met her before but they'd never really discussed their powers with each other. The only thing that worried him was the thought of Nika over exerting herself and falling into a coma. After their little talk about sharing their powers they found a couple of people outside in the smoking area near the exit sign. That would be their ticket in.
Shawn followed Nika into a darkened office. There was a computer in the room that was on. Nika started listening to the door for anyone approaching. "Why don't we start here and we'll see what we can find here. Hopefully I can get into the computer." He said sitting down at the desk, the light from the computer screen illuminating his face. Streak's fingers started to work frantically on the keyboard. He was trying to figure out the password to the computer. "The higher the importance the more fun it'll be to figure out and the more information we'll find." Streak said.
"I'm in!" He exclaimed as his smile was lit up by the screen. "Okay, let's see what we've got here." He said talking more to himself than to Nika. He continued to flip from screen to screen as he looked for any information that would lead to them finding something out.
Once Streak started working on getting into the computer Nika posted herself to keep an ear out for any possible trouble. Every once in awhile she would hear voices or boots walking down the hallway. Each time she would signal to Streak to turn off the monitor and to be quiet until the sounds passed.

Streak continued working at the computer diligently. He wasn't finding much until he noticed one folder that seemed to be hiding in the computer. Out of the corner of his eye he would see Nika give him the signal to stop and turn off the monitor. Streak did that so that he wouldn't get them caught.
After a while he turned back on the monitor and tried to pick up where he left off. Finally he'd gotten into the file that had caught his attention. It was a video file and the computer whirred to a little louder as it tried to open the file. The video started playing on the screen in front of Streak. Thankfully Neena had given him a pen drive before she sent them on their mission. He loaded up the pen drive and copied the file onto it. "I've got it. I've got a video." He whispered to her. Streak pulled the pen drive out and fastened it to him creating a pocket on his leg.
he moved away from the computer and turned off the monitor so that it didn't give them away when they left.
Streak didn't have to speak loudly as Nika heard him state what he found. A video file huh? Well, hopefully that will be of some use to Neena.
"Let's try one more office on a higher level and see what else we can find."
Quietly Nika opened the office door and listened. No foot steps or voices. Good.
"Let's go."
Leading the way the catgirl found a nearby staircase. Thinking it would be safer than using an elevator she opened the door and slipped into the stair well and began heading up a few more levels.

Streak walked up behind Nika and waited for her to lead the way out. "Sounds like a plan." He said agreeing with her and getting ready to move out of the hallway and up to the next floor.
He followed out the door and through the stairwell. It was a quick trip up the stairs and around onto the next floor.
"Pick an office." He whispered to her once they were in the stairwell.

Streak noticed the sign that was on the door. A doctors office. That might be the office we're looking for. He thought. Nika tried the door. Locked. He heard Nika's question. "Probably." He replied.
Streak walked up to the door and placed his hands on it. The door rippled like water and he walked through it easily. Once on the other side he turned around turned the lock and opened the door for Nika. Thankfully the room was empty. "Come on." He said motioning her in the office.
Nika stepped aside to allow Streak do do what he had to in order to get them inside the office. She watched him pass through the door like it was water. That's a pretty neat trick
After they were inside Nika quietly closed and locked the door. Hopefully they could find some more information in here.
"See if you can check the computer and I'll start looking through the hard files."
Quickly moving to the forementioned cabinet Nika opened one of the drawers and started sifting through the folders. There was lots of stuff that didn't seem important to what they were looking for at first. After several minutes the catgirl found a folder labelled 'Haywire project' and pulled it out. She skimmed over it while glancing to Streak to see how he was doing.
