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.

(so people have a chance to rp in their PJ's for once-if they want to.. whatever)
Early morning, a figure was flying by the mansion - not really paying attention to what was below.. he knew it was the X-mansion - but he really didn't care. Continuing on his way, he was humming softly TNT by AC/DC..
About this time, a Cargo (Fedex) jet passed over over him - now normally this wouldn't be a problem, but due to their angle - it caused some eddies of wind to gust up going toward the flying individual... The gust of wind that came towards Red, trusted his wing backwards rather forcefully. This would cause his wing to dislocate. "OH SHIIII----" he was falling from the sky - he was trying to use his left wing to maneuver himself to not hit any buildings - or anything really. While he was loosing altitude, those in the mansion may hear his scream "IIIIII-------TTT!!!" followed by the sound of him hitting the fountain, and a splash of water.

Raina couldn't sleep that night and was up for a late night walk. She liked the crisp fall air- it soothed her aching throat as she breathed in. She stopped by the fountain to sit and watch the pond koi swim. She'd have to take them out soon- or rather remind someone else too- before the first ice.
She sat fondly thinking of how much she enjoyed the first snow and first freeze. It reminded her of home. She watched the clear night sky and gazed at the moon a little lost in her thoughts when she heard the plane overhead. It didn't do much to jog her at first... just a plane- background noise. But when an object came hurtling in her direction she barely had time to stand up let alone run when it landed in the fountain dousing her with water.
There was silence for only a moment when polite little Raina said, "Ahh shit."
with the water on her skin her body began to shift and change, pop and grind, until her favourite pj's lay shredded on the ground underneath a glimmering fish tail. She narrowed her eyes. "Those were my favourite." she wrung her hair out a bit- it was cold but she was used to cold, not enough to bother her... yet.
She stared up at the dripping wet figure. "you'd be surprised how much this happens to a girl." she muttered with her head in her hands comedicly.

Ayesac lays limp.. within the fountain's cool water that was pooling around him.. the koi swimming around him, nibbling on his scales - seeming to be curious about the new arrival in their lil fountain they call home. The Dragon Dude wasn't really moving much - he was face down in the water - slight gurgling sound could be heard from him exhaling slowly, the wings were oddly placed - as was the rest of his body. One could tell even if they were medical personal - he was in for some pain when he came up.. He feel from about a mile high - he's gonna be knocked out for awhile.. he might have a few broken bones -ribs arm.. leg wing.... he does have his regeneration factor that would keep him from bleeding to death and dying... Though still really hurt. and being how his healing function worked, he'd be really hungry when he wakes up -or his body would start attacking the muscle mass for food.

Now Raina had only seen Ayesac briefly and heard little about him from Sarah- she didn't know he could regnerate and when he didn't reply to her witty jokes she got worried. She looked down at her wriggling fish tail "crap crap crap!" she started rubbing it fiercly with the torn pants even though they were still pretty wet. "Come on, come on!" she growled.
This wasn't working and this big red mutant needed some help- she knew it. At first she thought he'd only made a rough landing but at being unconcious it was obviously more than that. She suddenly wished she had Sarah's phone number. Did Sarah even have a phone? She'd sure as hell find out next time she saw her!
"Ok big guy." she said pulling herself closer to the fountain. "This is going to be interesting." the tail wasn't going anywhere so she'd figured out another way. Reaching into the water with both arms she linked them around his torso and pulled his face out of the water. She gasped a little- she'd never seen him straight on before. She mentally lectured herself. When she positioned herself and him so that she was on her back on the grass she pulled him from the water on the grass next to her. 'Thank God no one's here to make a little mermaid joke" she thought to herself. "All right big guy, we're doing it disney style." she said opening her mouth and beginning to sing.
The ice formed underneath them and was freezing, but it was very slippery. She couldn't drag a dragon to the mansion without feet but maybe just maybe she could slide him there.
She continued to sing and gave the strongest thrust of her tail she could muster and they slid a few feet. She stopped and took a breath "this is going to take a while"
ooc; I'll wait and see if anyone else joins the thread but if not I can post another one to get us to the mansion
Chris woke up early once again. It wasn't the first time this had happened to him. He slept very well in the mansion so he always woke up feeling refreshed. As was his habit, he walked towards the kitchen. He'd easily fallen into a routine and since he wasn't taking any classes, yet, he decided that waking up early was the best way to get some alone training time. He enjoyed it no matter how hard it turned out to be. He was headed to the kitchen in his workout clothes when he heard a loud crash take place out side.
They gymnast went rushing outside and saw probably the oddest this he'd ever seen in his entire life. Even living at the mansion he saw some weird things but this had to take the cake. There was what looked like a mermaid and a dragon. The dragon seemed to be unconscious while the mermaid, who also seemed to be able to create ice. Well this is something I've never seen before. I'm glad I'm not missing this. He walked over to them and said, "Looks like you could use some help." He smiled at the mermaid pushing the dragon along the ice.

"nah this is an everyday occurance here at the school, fish lady hauls dragon man to shore." snorted Raina the the young man whod approached her. She was embaressed to be caught like this- especially in the middle of the night. "I'm actually ok once I get dried off, he's he one I'm worried about. Literly fell out of the sky!" she described.
"I'm Raina, I think this red beast is Ayesac. Im the music teacher here, great way to meet a potential student." she smirked. "And I would absolutley love some help"

Chris smiled at the mermaid/music teacher. "Well that's a relief. I don't think I could take you both. At least not at the same time." This was going to be an interesting day. He walked carefully to where Raina and Ayesac were laying and said, "I can hear the fish story now. There I was minding my own business when suddenly I find myself helping the Little Mermaid pull Puff the Magic Dragon out of an early morning diving lesson. What a day." Chris couldn't help but smile. He may have sounded like he was complaining a bit, but nothing could be farther from the truth. No matter how hard it was, he couldn't keep a straight face, it was just to funny. Their predicament may not have been a particularly funny one, but Chris couldn't help but see the humor in how all this looked.
He grabbed a hold of Ayesac and started to pull him. It wasn't easy dragging this huge dragon along the ground, so Chris decided to try and firemen carry him. It was a little easier once he got leverage on him and was able to carried as much of him, while the rest dragged along the ground, as possible towards the mansion. Their progress was slow but Chris was doing the best he could to carry this huge beast.

Raina was relieved when he took Ayesac from her and concentrated on keeping pace with him by pulling her arms across the ice. She was pretty good at this as showering and bathing meant using her arms for everything and getting out was never easy. "I appreciate this, sorry for the weirdness" she smiled "I think I saw you before but I'm sorry I can't remember your name." she admitted a little embaressed. "Ayesac will probably like to know when he wakes up who his saviours were"

Ayesac was slowly coming to.. he let out a soft growl.. "....down..." His body was in shambles pretty much, not only from the fall - but from falling into the fountain. The Freezing that Raina did was a duel edged sword.. It did help her move him, and due to the coolness it would make Red's blood freeze over the few open wounds he had - making them clotted with Ice..
He wasn't really moving much yet.. though he did smell Raina - he knew this scent from off of Sara.... and from the camps. So he knew he was pretty safe. .but the second scent he did not know.. and this one was taking him, partly dragging him, along. He coughed slightly as he tried to get to his feet.. this wasn't a good idea from his part, but being ornery and stubborn he would try anyway - unaware of the ice. Once he got his foot down - his foot slid on the ice. Due to his injuries and the lack of cognitive thought - he would loose his balance falling onto the ice beside Raina on his back, a loud snapping sound of his wings going back into socket could be heard followed by another scream "AH!!!!!" he smelt Raina closer..with a small smile he turned his head towards the direction of the scent.. "Raina?" he moved his tail to try to touch her leg, his tail was really the only part of him that didn't hurt... his eyes were still they hurt.. his head also hurt.
Chris felt the dragon guy stir. He stopped walking as Ayesac fell out of his grasp. He tried to hold onto him and set him down as softly as he could. Unfortunately it didn't work to well. As Ayesac fell he could hear a crunching sound as what sounded like an arm, or maybe it was a wing, popped back into its socket. "Ouch. Bet that hurt." He said as he knelt down next to Ayesac. "Names Chris. We're taking you to the infirmary. You're at the mansion Ayesac. Relax." He said calmly and softy to him. No reason to talk loudly since he was right next to him.

(sorry, been having problems getting here.. and was waiting for Raina)
Ayesac looked towards Chris.. ".. Didn't mean to.. drop in.. like this.." he spoke slowly.. the minor cuts on his body from the fall were healing pretty well, but the bones, and internal injuries would take more time to heal then just this short time... he brought his clawed hand up.. touching Chris's cheek, keeping his movement slow. "I do not wish to scare the children..." his draconic amber eyes looking directly into his.. they were shimmering in the night like a flame was within.

ooc: sorry, I coudln't think of anything to put and thought it might make more sense for you to post again Ayesac, though I forgot to PM you! LOL
ic:
Raina laughed as she'd been pulling herself along her tail dried enough that it was now shifting back to legs. She stood up right thanking God that her tshirt was pretty oversized. "Ayesac, they're not afraid of a fish lady, girls with cat ears, werewolves, half horses, or anything of the sort." she explained. "If anything, they might want your autograph." she laughed. "Besides everyone's in bed!" she nodded to Chris and bent down to pick up the slack.
"Well just get you to the infirmary and let doc prof have a look at you!"
Chris listened to the dragon try and speak. It was slow and broken. He'd managed to hear everything he was saying, so Chris understood what he meant. Ayesac's hand felt weird on Chris' face but he didn't shy away from it, seeing as the dragon seemed to be in no shape to lash out at anyone. Chris smirked at Raina's comment. She seemed friendly enough, even though he'd never seen her around. "Ya everyone's asleep. Hell I don't even know why I'm up this early, but I am." He agreed as he began to pick Ayesac up again.
Chris had been mostly focused on Ayesac but had caught a glimpse of Raina and blushed a little. He turned his attention back to picking up the dragon as tenderly as he could, so that the music teacher, didn't think of him as some perv living at the mansion. Although. he told himself, she is an attractive teacher. Maybe I should take up music while I'm here. He was glad that he didn't have to drag the dragon through the mansion. For the most part they were able to carry him. It made life a lot easier with both of them carrying him instead of just Chris.

Slowly got up onto his own feet, glancing over to Raina.. he chuckled a little - though a little rough still.. "ahhh cant have you going around like that can we?" sliding out of his trench coat - he tossed it over to her.. Being he's 7'5, she probably would be swimming in it. placing his hand on his ribs, he slowly moved towards the door.. a little quicker then if he was going to be dragged.. "How did I get here.. Raina? One moment I was flying.. the next I hit the ground... "
