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.

As Meld prepared to exit the safety of her Sanctuary suite she thought back to the news story she had seen only 2 days ago. An individual by the name of Mark Davis, owner of Davis Jewels, had made a grand speech promoting his store and trying to gain additional patronage. And that would have been fine, had his speech not also been riddled with not so subtle hints about how mutants were not welcome and should not exist upon the earth. It was unfortunate, for him at least, that he had not had the pretense of mind to think that, perhaps, a concerned mutant with little respect for the law might be watching his little telecast and might decide to take action against him. And oh what fun action that would be.
After a brief few hours of considering what to do about the bigot and his precious little store, Meld had gone to Aura with the suggestion that they break in and have a little fun at his expense. Either they would just rob the place blind or they would eliminate one more human unworthy of life from the face of the earth. Either way they would send a strong message to any mutant haters out there and they would have a little fun in the process. That, and Meld had never had the opportunity to use any precious gems in her flesh melds before and it seemed like just the opportunity to collect some for further use and she was sure that Aura would be able to find her own furniture supplies as well.
There wasn't a whole lot that Meld needed to do to prepare, all of her weapons being attached to her. She was a sort of living weapon, after all. There didn't seem much point in finding a mask to hide her appearance. With the recent progression of her flesh melds, it was becoming more and more difficult to obscure her identity. If the police caught a glimpse of her now, mask or no mask, she wouldn't exactly be difficult to pick out of a crowd. After all, how many humans had metal limbs?
Walking down to the vehicle bay, Meld got on one of the motorcycles standing there. The ride out the store was interesting, to say the very least, it being Meld's first time attempting to drive in the city. She enjoyed the speed and the freedom, weaving in between vehicles and speeding madly. It didn't take long for her to arrive at her destination, probably less time than it would have taken a sane person to drive the distance, and she parked her bike a block away from the store.
Meld entered the store boldly, taking no pains to hide her flesh melds. She recognized the man from the newscast and grinned at him, saying nothing. She saw the looks she got, both from the man behind the counter and from the few other patrons in the store. Taking stock of who stared disgustedly at her and who did not, so as to better be able to judge who deserved to die in the battle to come and who she would at least try to let leave unharmed, she waited her friend's entrance. As soon as Aura showed up all the fun would begin.
Lily didn't expect her parents to visit so soon after she moved into the Institute. After all, they lived a long way away, and they tried to avoid publicity, especially when it came to their daughter's powers (police investigation still in progress, and it cost them a lot to keep Lily's part of the story hidden from the press). But anyway, here they were, making sure their only daughter was safe and the place she lived in was everything she needed. Lily (known to most as Jewel - her parents called her Jewel when she was a little girl, and later the people who she thought were her friends called her the same, although for a different reason) - left the mansion grounds for the first time in days. Many days. She walked with her parents in the City; she enjoyed the walk, the talk, and of course looking at the shopwindows. Sometimes her mother smiled at her "Something caught your attention, little magpie?" And she'd realize she had been staring at jewelry for minutes. She just couldn't resist the shop. Davis Jewels was new, shiny and exquisite. "You just go in ahead, we'll wait for you over there at the café" Mother said with an all-knowing smile, and Jewel smiled back before she entered the shop.
She has been admiring the jewelry for long minutes now; the shop was quiet and elegant. Lily was used to these kinds of places, and she was always welcome; anyone could tell at first sight she had every right (and the money) to be there. Right now she was wearing a black skirt and a loose, elegant back top; her shoes were black leather, and on this simple background she wore a set of matching jewelry - earrings, necklace and bracelets - made of pale, heavy gold and tiny gemstones. Jewel looked up when she heard the door open, and for a second she couldn't help but stare at the girl who entered; then she looked away, 'staring is rude', and fiddled with her bracelet nervously.
Aura had been watching the store for hours and smiled as she watched Meld enter the store, Aura finnsihed fiddeling a with a few wires on her pipe bomb, it was not needed but it could cause some fun, Aura ahd also noticed the security camera's that the place had, those would need to be eliminated. Making her way down from her foor top perch she hopping down in the alley, Aura stepped on a teen human girls hand as she peared into the street. Aura ahd decided she would draw less attention if she obtained new clothing, and So aura for the first time in years, wore a long white sun dress, it reminded her in part of the robes she use to wear, she had robbed the woman's wallet as well as a few other things that she could not name, mostly cosmetics products Aura had long forgotten. She missed the fact that the strap of the dress was dyed red with blood and their was a long rip across the back.
Walking over the street, her newly acquired sandals made a soft clicking noise, walking into the store, she looked around and most of the people seemed focussed on meld's arm perfect. She quickly lobbed the circular cannister behind the shelfs, she looked over all the jewelry, she recalled the stuff and had seen other girls wear it, yet the items seemed strangely foreign to her. "Hey, Meld how are ya?" she asked with a smile looking over the store. She walked to the back of the store and looked up at the security camera, and with without hesitation brought her Aura into view quickly allowing it to form a blade and cut the camera in half, the remaining portion hitting the ground hard in front of her. Turning she looked over to the now screaming office clerk.
Moving again Aura made for the back door to silence the alarm that was likely already triggered, still she glad Meld was with her, she knew she could rely on her and their teamwork got better with what seemed like every robbery. Knowing this place was owned by an Anti-mutant human made the job even easier to go a long with, not that normal humans would have gotten a separate fate from Aura. Their were a few customers in the store which Aura noticed for the first time, she swore at ehrself under her breath for not even recalling they had entered, looking over the door in the back, she found it locked and so she carved the door knob from the door cutting through the wood with ease. "i'll take the alarm and what's in back" she said flicking on the light to the room and looking over various cases and half made displayed with even more jewelry on them. "They must really sell a lot of these rocks" Aura called back casually nopt quite understanding why.
Two days ago had been crazy, period. First, Audrey had met her first Mutant... Which was pretty weird all and all, secondly, she'd gotten home to find that a man on the News was dissing at Mutants. She disliked that; a lot. For a small town girl who'd never heard Mutants being mentioned much before, it was odd how in one day, she didn't just meet one, but was dissed too. She wanted to do something about it, but what? She couldn't just run in the store and speak her mind to the Owner. What good would it do? She was a Mutant, to the world, she was noithing more then a stupid old mutt. "Stupid people and their stupid views on Mutants. I wish I could just change the World already. Make everyone like everyone..." she told herself as she passed a brush through her thick black hair.
She was going to go to that store today, not to cause any havoc, just to see for herself why this man hated Mutants so much. Plus, though this really wasn't like her, she had a feeling things would get messy. A lot of Mutants could've heard the News that evening when Davis had did his big and awful speech. Mutants who, unlike her, would kill Humans who didn,t approve of people with differences. People who had powers. People like her. She was going to go there, just in case the Jewelery store owner needed any protection. The eighteen year-old was skilled when it came to fighting, so maybe she could help out a bit.
Half an hour later, the young lady was ready. Dressed in a pair of dark jeans, a striped black and white T-shirt, and a leather jacket to complete the look. She also had a white hand bag, where she had her IDs, some of which not even hers, a bit of money, her cell phone and a few other valuable items. She grabbed her Ipod for the walk, since it would take at least ten minutes on foot, and then left, locking the door of her Apartment behind her. Perfect.
She was distracted by her music, and didn't really notice much about the girl who entered before her. That was until she started doing her stuff, which included cutting through a camera with a Pink blade formed in mid-air. The future Detective rolled her eyes, facing a wall, but still able to see the two women easily. She pretended to fuss over a few earings; both pairs way to expensive for her budjet. She waited for the right time to interfere and possibly save the Store, as well as the owner.
"I'll take the alarm and what's in back."
Already on the move, the Shapeshifter jumped two feet in the air, landing with ease on a glass shelf, knocking down expensive jewelery she did not care about. Before anyone could make out what Audrey was doing, she'd flipped and jumped and twirled her way in front of the pink-bladed girl. "Oh no you don't! Not on my watch anyway." she whispered, inches from the other Mutant with the Pink Aura, her own brown eyes locked with the younger girl's green ones.

Meld nodded as Aura entered and informed her that she would take out the alarm system in the back. Looking around, there didn't seem to be too many people in the store, which was fortunate, although it might have been better had they decided to assault the place at night. Nevertheless, even with the addition of more witnesses :toad: and more potential bodies, their message would be received all the stronger for having been made during the broad light of day. "I think these rocks would make a nice addition to my next flesh meld," she said casually, a hint of irony in her voice.
The screams of the store patrons didn't bother her in the least as she casually walked up to the counter and jumped on top of it, the glass shattering beneath her metal feet, pointing a clawed hand at Davis. "You are about to discover exactly what happens to those who continue to promote hatred and discrimination of mutants. My friend and I are going to show you exactly why we mutants are superior to you foolish and weak humans." She grinned, preparing to jump from the broken remnants of the counter down to the floor where here target was standing.
Just as Meld was about to proceed to impale her target with a clawed hand, another woman entered and jumped onto the counter not far from her, causing an even greater mess of scattered jewelry and glass. It figured that someone would show up and try to play hero and Meld half turned to face her new target, though still maintaining her view of Davis. She wondered if the other woman was a mutant and decided that she must be. Either that or she was an amazingly stupid human, even by human standards, to be taking on two obviously dangerous mutants such as herself and Aura were with not visible weapons.
"You would defend anti mutant scum like this?" She gestured towards a cowering Davis. If this woman was indeed a mutant, as she suspected, then Meld didn't want to fight her unless it became absolutely necessary. Perhaps she would be able to reason with the woman instead, maybe even recruit her help. "He and those like him are the reason why our kind are hated and feared. He deserves to suffer for his words and his actions." If nothing else her words should buy Aura the time she needed to disable the security system.
Jewel froze. Things were happening too fast for her - one minute the shop was quiet and peaceful, the next things were breaking and there were two mutants, a feisty girl confronting them, and an attempted robbery. Jewel fought for breath, and tried not to panic. She was fairly new to the mutant world, and definitely new to the world of violence. She backed away till her back hit one of the glass cases. She took a deep breath. Her powers always drew her to jewelry. Being in a place filled with things she could control and shape always made her head dizzy. The cheerful kind of dizzy. What she was experiencing now was something enhanced by an adrenaline rush - she could feel the pull of every single piece of metal and every gemstone in the shop, as well as outside in the immediate area. Her fingers twitched. Breathe, Lily. Think. Mutants. Powers. Metals. Fight. Humans... It took her seconds to figure out what was happening - to see that out of the three girls one was at least kinda thinking the same way as she was. She also saw the clerk's look of horror and fear; she wasn't prepared or trained for these kind of situations, but she did feel responsible for innocent people. Yes, getting them out of here would be a good idea...
Jewel ran across the room, behind the counter and stood next to Davis. She looked at the girl with the metal claws "Don't hurt him. Please."
Aura quickly accessed the situation, their were four people who mattered here, not including the owner himself, he could always be found later, and Aura could do wonderful things to his family to make him suffer. She knew they were Mutants and chose to fight then anyway, Meld did however ask if she knew the man was anti-mutant. Aura however already beleived she knew or simply did not care that she was oposeing her own kind. She ignored the glass that had struck her Aura as it had been crushed, honestly the owner was all ready very scared and this incadent would likely not aide in his love for Mutants, but maybe it would help him to keep his moulth shut, what one said, more so a weak human, could get them killed easily.
A secound girl rushed to the Humans side, she was unsure if wither were mutants, but figured the girl on the the display case, what remained of it likely was. Still standing partly in the door way she addressed the girl in front of her. "If you continue to impede us then you will proce you are either a very stupid human or a traitor to your entire race, which is it i wonder?" she asked taking a few steps back, as she did her Aura melted the sword and formed it into an axe like shape, her other hand took on the same Axe like shape, With a swing, Aura's axe cut into the wall just below the power outlet, a zapping noise could be heard and then the light flickered a few times in the store, but stayed on which was fine, Aura had really only meant it as an example anyway. "If you are a traitor or worse a human, then i will not hold back, choose wisely my friend, a shame really, you are very pretty" she stated casually even as she looked over some green colored jewelry in her hand, her eyes still looked confused on why people bought such things. "A store that sells rocks......." Aura muttered flicking the valuble stoned away as if they were something icky.
Aura slipped to the side, not sure whare the alarm even was, her second strike, ripped through a dozen colored cabels running up on the the walls which sent a shower of sparks over the back room, then she spotted it, a small wall mounted device, making a break for it, she brought her axe blade up and ready,, if the girl attacked she would swing at her, if not the security system would have a few more pieces then it's design wished. Their was only one response to a traitor unless a superior orderd one not to, and that was death. "Lovely night out eh?" she called back through the door to meld.
Audrey scowled at the Aura woman, "Oh, I am definitely a Mutant." she hissed angrily, "But I'm no Traitor. There are many of us who, unlike you, aren't cold-blooded, trouble causing assasins. It's because of you," she poked the Aura girl in the chest, "That Mutants have to live with all of this. Not the Humans. If you guys would just lay low and not cause havoc, we'd be safe, maybe we'd be accepted in the society." she paused for a moment, glaring at the girl. "It's you, I'm afraid, who's the Traitor here, not the ones who want to make it work between the two." She truly hadn't planned for this speech to sink in to the stupid girl's brain, only to keep her from achieving her goal. Which was destroying the alarm.
She watched as the girl's blade turned into two axes.There was the first strike, Audrey did not even twitch. It was a little odd how she'd been so freaked out by Slate being a Mutant (He'd been very nice to her and didn't want to dominate the Human World!) and with this girl here, she wasn't afraid one bit! She wanted to hurt the murderer! It dawned on Audrey just in time that she was standing right in the girl's way. When the two axes hit, she jumped over them, and the Alarm suffered the damage. Oh well, what was the use of the Alarm anyway? The place was already destroyed, and the Cops wouldn't even get here in time to catch the two thiefs.
Instead of guarding the useless piece of metal that had once been an Alarm, Audrey jumped over a glass case still unharmed, and then over the shattered glass counter where the owner and a scared human girl with gold and silver high lights were. "Are you both okay?" she asked in a whisper, glancing over at the two reckless Mutants. Did she have time to transform? In ten minutes, they'd probably be a mile away... No, she'd have to do this with her own body, not someone else's. She jumped back from behind the counter, her leg extended in the perfect direction so that before landing to the ground, she would hit the weird woman with odd body parts right in the head.

Meld sneered at the woman who had run to protect Davis from her claws in disgust. The woman ha strange highlights in her hair, something not uncommon among mutants, but she could also be a human who had gotten a hold of some hair die. Either way Meld had no desire to kill her, though she wouldn't hesitate if necessary. It was, in a foolhardy sort of way, rather brave of her to stand up to herself and Aura like that and try to defend that scum. "You have one chance to leave. I have no desire to kill you but if you stand in my way I will do what is necessary to teach this anti-mutant filth some manners."
Meld remained aware of Aura's actions as her friend attacked the other human defender and disabled the alarm. "A very lovely night," she agreed with Aura, grinning. And then the other human defender began speaking and with every word she uttered Meld became more angry. She wasn't the type to lose her temper easily or to lose control of her actions, constantly striving to be in control and deliberate with every move and every decision. It was one of the traits that had made her so valuable to the crime bosses she had worked for in the past. But what the woman said struck a nerve and Meld growled at her, low and menacing.
"You are content to live in the shadow of humans, to hope and pray that they don't notice you and they don't bother you. You are content to slink around in the shadows and pretend to be just like them. You naively blame your own people, YOUR OWN PEOPLE for their actions and their hatreds. You claim not to be a traitor but you plainly are. It is your kind, as much as theirs, that relegates our status to that of lesser citizens."
Meld ducked under the woman's attempted kick to her head and attempted to grab her leg with her left hand in order to take her off her feet and dig her claws in. At the same time she slashed at the woman's chest with the edge of her metal shield. Somewhere in the back of her mind she was aware of the fact that she was fighting more recklessly than she normally would, potentially leaving herself open and vulnerable, but the woman's words had struck a nerve and all she wanted to do at that moment was destroy her.
This fight was over Jewel's head - it was fast, angry, and fought with weapons she couldn't match. She listened to what the three girls said, still standing in front of Davis, and noted that one of them was definitely on their - her? - side. As for speaking about traitors, she frowned deeply; she was new to the mutant world, but skilled enough in diplomacy to know that violence is never the answer. When Audrey flung herself at the girl with the metal claws, Jewel decided it was time to act. She grabbed Davis' arm and yanked him to his feet "Come on! Hurry!" She dragged him out from behind the counter, then pushed him towards the door "Go go go!" She knew it was not wise to turn their back on the fighters, so she twirled around. Davis needed time to escape. Jewel once (not long ago) decided she'll never let any human know about her powers. But right now, this was the least of her worries. Her fingers twitched again. Jewelry in the glass cases started shaking, vibrating with her powers. The stones Aura tossed away hung in mid-air for a second, then flew across the room; earrings, bracelets, pendants jumped into the air and buzzed around Jewel like a swarm of shiny bees. She kept them close to herself - she was not attacking anyone. She took a deep breath. "STOP FIGHTING! Please!"
As audrey leapt onto the one of the few undamaged cases, Aura's axe like blade came down behind her, shattering the case, and cutting a bit into the base of the display and splitting more then a few of the gold chains in the case. Unable to catch her and seeing the secound girl went to aid the owner and Aura knew she was to dar to do much about it. But the woman was a fool, she truely seemed to beleive her own kind was at fault. The poor deluded girl, their were many like her. The one girl struck out at Meld, but Aura trusted meld to defend herself.
"Nature chooses one domanent species for a planet, our mere excistence is evidence humans are meant to be replaced, nature has chosen them for extinction, tharefor each dead human simpyl accelrates this process" Aura explained ismply. She moved torward the door and the girl who helped their target to escape. "Looks like we may have to figure out whare he lives now" Aura said maintaining her calm ccasual tone. "You two have saved no one with this stunt, in fact all either of you have done is put more people in dnager" she said shaking her head slightly, and then the pretty one got started and the jewelery began to fly. "Looks like the pretty one wnats to play to, a bit of a shame on the nievity part" she said as she watched the jewels swirl unsure if their wa smore to the power, slowly she moved forward, figuring her aura would protect her from the general impacts of the various stones.
It was a shame they had the attatudes they did, she would have liked to see the jewelery girl more, she really was good looking. Aura also cosniderd the various ways to find the man, his address had to be somewhare and it was likely he wa sin the phone book. Once she had that a simple yahoo search would do the trick to get that information. This was far from over, looking around she considerd their options from here.
She was about to strike the woman, when suddenly things changed, and the odds weren’t in the Shape shifter’s favor. The strange lady with strange body parts ducked under Audrey, and in return, tried to grab Audrey by the leg. The woman failed however, yet the slash to the chest was a perfect hit. Audrey cried out in pain, blood staining her shirt. She’d have to get stitches most definitely. Audrey found herself landing on the floor at the odd woman’s feet, glass piercing her left arm and part of her back. It hurt like crazy!
She almost didn’t hear the Aura girl speaking, nonetheless, she no longer cared. The woman that was obviously on Audrey’s side had saved the owner; for now. There was going to be a second battle soon, Audrey could feel it. She’d need to go track down this man herself, tell him what these two Human-haters probably planned on doing next. "Looks like we may have to figure out where he lives now" was the only audible words Audrey was able to make out from Aura as the pain in her arm and chest became too intense to concentrate.
"STOP FIGHTING! Please!"
Audrey gritted her teeth together, trying her best to get back on her feet, no matter the pain it caused her. She’d be able to fight some more, she’d been through worse. She glanced at the girl who’d been protecting the owner earlier, only to realize she was standing in the doorway, pieces of jewelry surrounding her. No, not scattered across the floor. They were in mid-air. Somehow, the human girl was a Mutant too. Man, what luck. In three days, she got to meet four different Mutants, and in eighteen years she’d never seen one, ever.
New York was definitely a Mutant hotspot. ”Look, I know what the owner said was wrong. Any Mutant who heard it probably thought so too, but do you really think killing him will solve the problems? It will only make other Anti-Mutants hate us more. I agree with—sorry, what’s your name?” she nodded toward the Jewel Manipulator, simply to let her know it was her name she wanted to know. She then winced again as she glanced down at her blood-stained clothes. She hated, absolutely HATED the sight of blood.

Drawing first blood on the woman in front of her definately went a long way towards bringing Meld's mind back to reality. She saw the blood drip down her opponent's chest and a feeling of satisfaction flooded her system. It might not be much but it was enough to at least give a taste to the other woman just how wrong she was about the mutant position, although it was a little disappointing that her first attack had managed to draw blood; not enough of a challenge. Nevertheless, she had fought opponent's before who started out slow and turned out to be more thana match for her skills.
Meld then heard the other woman yell to stop the fighting and became gradually aware that she had helped Davis escape. Stepping away from her foe and taking a defensive position Meld growled deep in her throat, listening to Aura's speach. "You are both fools if you think otherwise, Meld spoke, referring to Aura's words of mutant superiority and inevitable human extinction. "Why do you fight for them? Your actions hurt your own people by doing so. Davis, as so many others, hate our kind. They would kill our kind if only they had the slightest bit of courage in their weak pathetic bodies. And yet you help them. Why?" The frustration and confusion in her voice was plainly evident.
Meld turned back to the one she had been fighting. "It might not do much, but yes, I think that it would help things. I do not encourage the killing of all humans," she gave a secret smile to Aura, knowing that her friend thought a little differently than her, "but I believe that if we kill off humans like Davis, then things will improve. There are relatively few humans to propogate the hate against us. If we remove the dissenters then the rest will fall in line and we will no longer have to hurt anyone. That is, of course, the future that I desire and the future that I work so hard to achieve."
Jewel was frightened. She had never been in a fight before, and never seen people, mutants like her, filled with so much hate (and ideas so different from her view). That, however, was not her main concern right now. The man got away; he must have called the police by now, even if her parents haven't done it already. Her senses calmed down after the first rush; the crazy buzz of the jewelry slowed down around her. She turned her attention to the girl with the aura, and her eyes widened in surprise. "You are so young..." she whispered (and she didn't even realize she said it aloud). She kept her arms by her sides, palms facing down; her aura of jewelry - for a few seconds very similar to the girl's pink aura - moved in slow motion, close to her body. She stood still - she didn't want to make sudden movements. She tired to look calm. The fighter girl - the one she started to think about as her ally - was hurt. Badly hurt, from the looks of it. The sight of blood reminded Jewel how serious the situation was. And that she had no fight skills whatsoever. But she did have something else. Pieces of jewelry levitated slowly down towards the ground. She was placing down her... weapon (although she didn't think about it as one). And she spoke, to win time. "Please. I don't want to fight. I don't know how to." she walked closer to Audrey "She's hurt. I'll take her with me. The police could be here any minute, at that would just make things worse. For us, and for you. We all know this fight wouldn't decide anything." She kept glancing at Aura. The girl with the claws was a fighter, a bold and maybe savage one; but Jewel somehow felt that the other one needed the attention. She was frightened of both of them - but she felt something else too for the young one, something that extremely lucky and beloved people would feel towards someone who had a much harder life. She helped Audrey stand, and she kept talking, just to move things along. "When humans discovered my powers, they used me as a thief. You can see why, right? I am under police surveillance. I am new to the world of mutants. I am new to this fight, and hatred, and all the things you live with. And I right be wrong, but I don't think humans would stop hating us if we went around killing them..." she took a breath "But you are right, we are all mutants. We go through the same thing. Let's not beat each other up over a human's jewelry shop." She turned her attention to Audrey, silently praying in herself that this fight would end before something worse happens.
Aura wiped a few trickles of blood which fell on her, the fight had been in large part disappointing, Jewel lady was no fighter and Aura had littile doubt she would cut right through the woman if she tried. Looking back at the other girl who spoke of the shop keepers message, she admitted it was wrong. This confused Aura a bit she believed what the human did was wrong and yet tried to defend them anyway. "History shows, when the heads of the hydra are cut off, the enimy falls into disaray, once those who would harm us fall, the future mutants, those who step in after we fall dead from this fight, will have a secure and wonderful place to live" Aura said unbotherd by her own admission she did not beleive she would live to see the end of the mutant human war
"young?" she said a bit confused, how young was that really, further more how old was she. "well the Target has escaped and the Pretty one, does not know how to fight.....a shame, but the jewel lady is right meld, we should move on, maybe strike his house if we can find it" she said simply looking over Jewel with a smile, it was to bad she was naive, she really was cute. "Humans will stop hating us, even if every last one of them has to fall, I am a weapon trained for the purpose of ensuring mutants take their place as the leaders of our world" Aura said though she had a feeling her words were likely less then helpful. Still it was the truth, her loyelty would ensure this would take place as well at l;east thats what her heart and training tought her.
"Before you two go know this, I wantched as the humans cut down my friends, as i pried my best friends severd arm from her blade to end the life of my dieing master, i will not allow such horrors to go on, and they all start with people like the shop keeper running this place" she said punching one of the few remaining glass cases still in tact shattering it as she grabbed the jewel that was in thare and dropped the finely crafted diamond to the floor. Still her Aura seemed to grow less thick and more see through as she relaxed. She could already hear the sirens in background and knew the cops would soon be coming, many people outside were also in quite a panic. The two girls they had fought were not an enemy and the one was not even a fighter, it really was to bad, she would have loved to spar with the jewel girl, her power looked beautiful.
