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.

"Mutant host?" "So.... you're telling us you're not a mutant. I find that hard to believe."
Horus looked at the twins," Mutant me?, Don't let laugh me, I am Horus, God Egyptian. Resurrected in this mutant. Haha," Horus was glad he was out for the first time, 24 year's he was being suppressed by strange forces, forced that didn't want this evil force come out. Harsiesis, the second name of Horus, it means, 'Horus the Great', since that day Mankind honored him more then ever, Horus was betrayed by his people, when the 10 plagues came, he was thrown in a pit with scarabs, and eaten from the inside. Thousands of years passed, and the god is back, only one thing is changes in him, he became evil. He resurrected in Mandain, from his birth, that explains his two tattoos, the sword on his upper right arm, and Horus is eye on the back of Mandain.
"It's long time I seen sun, Good to be back." Horus started smiling again, his evil sense was raising up. Horus looked down to his scarabs, they were being disturbed by something. He looked to the twins again," This end could here for both you, Hahahahahaha" Horus sat on one knee and started petting his scarabs. Horus whispered in Egyptian that the scarabs needed to stay calm, and be ready for anything.
Calley had heard the most awesome evil laughter he'd ever heard coming from a few blocks away. And he'd booked it, with Kitra's arm in tow, to see who it was and if he could get their autograph. Presumably, the rest of Kitra had followed her arm.
The first thing that happened was something going crunch under his shoe. Hunter's shoe, technically, but let's not get into technicalities. "Was that a giant beetle?" Calley questioned of the world at large. "Is that a grumpy girl and a wonderful person hiding behind a car?" He followed up, with some confusion. "...Are you really stupid enough to be pullin' powers out on a public street?" He finished, giving the man before him a look that didn't say good things.
Calley was about as far from a threat as people came--the fact that he'd walked into a battle in order to make stupid comments, compounded with the fact he didn't seem to fear being hurt for doing this, was enough proof of that.

" Mutant me?, Don't let laugh me, I am Horus, God Egyptian. Resurrected in this mutant. Haha. It's long time I seen sun, Good to be back. This end could here for both you, Hahahahahaha"
In sync both girls place one hand on hip, the other over mouth. Their expressions were mixed between curiosity, confusion, and plain disbelief.
>Maybe he got loose from an asylum?<
"I dunno, but a straight-jacket sure wouldn't look out of place."
>Yeah. And mutant or not, anyone that whispers to bugs is missing a few gears.<
Amp nodded, and placed her other hand on her hips. "Listen buddy, I dunno what's goin' through your head right now, and I don't wanna kn-"
"Was that a giant beetle?"
Amp was cut off as a kid suddenly rounded the corner, in a rush it seemed, and with a girl in tow, crunching onto one of Horus's 'pets'.
"Is that a grumpy girl and a wonderful person hiding behind a car?"
The twins exchange another set of 'Say what?' looks.
Are you really stupid enough to be pullin' powers out on a public street?"
>Is he really stupid enough to be stepping into the middle of the 'power pullin' '?< Vibe mocked. Amp snickered. This was getting more and more interesting by the second.
"Hey kid," Amp called out. "Ask tall, gold and scarabie who he is. See what he tells you, 'cause personally we're thinking he's..... ya know." Vibe nodded, and made the circle motion with her index finger, near her head, to indicate crazy.
>Soooo.... what happens if he sicks those bugs on the kids?<
Amp shrugged. "We'll find out, won't we? After all, Mandain promised us a show, didn't he?"
Twin smirks fell easily into place on their pale faces.
Kitra had been pulled along with Calley as he went towards that freakish laughter. Her first thought was, 'what can go wrong now?' Second thought, 'she didn't want to know.' Third thought, 'she was gonna find out anyway....'
"Was that a giant beetle?"
Kitra closed her eyes with a slight grimace. Calley had just stepped upon and crunched what had looked to be scarab. And the presumable owner of it had a sword and looked rather intimadating and had scarabs at his feet. Very presumably the owner of the now squashed scarab.
"Is that a grumpy girl and a wonderful person hiding behind a car?"
Kitra opened her eyes, blinked and looked over at the car and spotted two readheads. Her guess was that they were twins. She pondered at the thought that they were the victims in this whole mess. Or perhaps they might also be mutants, one could never be sure.
Are you really stupid enough to be pullin' powers out on a public street?"
For once Calley had a point, a very valid point. Kitra tilted her head to her left slightly. Things might get a little rough....scratch that really rough by the looks of things. One of the redheads spoke up....
"Hey kid," The short haired redhead called out. "Ask tall, gold and scarabie who he is. See what he tells you, 'cause personally we're thinking he's..... ya know." The long haired redhead nodded, and made the circle motion with her index finger, near her head, to indicate crazy.
Kitra sincerly prayed for some guidance for Calley. She didn't think he would be stupid enough to actually ask that question. Especially since he just crushed the guy's scarab... One of the girls spoke up again.
"We'll find out, won't we? After all, Mandain promised us a show, didn't he?"
'Hmm, so this guy's name is Mandain.' Kitra removed her arm from Calley's grip and placed them behind her back like she was grasping them together. She was actually getting ready for what could possibly be a serious fight.
A pair of green eyes had been watching events unfold for a few minutes now at the other end of the street. The twins were known but the man they had been dealing with was new. Moments later a couple more new figures wandered into the area. It was a very interesting sight and Syn couldn't help but make herself known.
Stepping out from her vantage point the girl walked towards the gathered group. "Well, this is a nice little gathering. Mind if I join in as well?" Syn looked to the twins and gave them a wink before giving the other woman and the two guys a broad smile. Something that could resemble a cheshire cat like gesture.
Horus was still standing where he stood when out of nowhere came 2 figurers, a boy round the age of 16-17, and a more grownup girl, maybe in her begin 20s.
The boy ran into 1 of his scarabs and crushed it. He was now only 2-3 feet away from Horus. The twins were having fun making a mock about Horus.
Horus walked closer to the boy, and while walking he raised his sword. Horus pressed his sword point to the boy his throat and started laughing.
"What you want?" Horus stared with his bight yellow eye's into the child his eye's, trying to let fear take over his body and let him do stuff that he wasn't planning on doing. Horus also had an eye on the twins, the were making gestures with there hands, pointing out Horus was a bit crazy., but did he care? No, Horus knew who he was, knew what he wanted, and wouldn't let some child's be messing around with him.
" Something about show I heard?, How you this like?" Horus was calm, steady, also edgy because it was his first time out, and it wasn't like he practiced his powers inside of Mandain. Out of nowhere a pair of green eye's walked out of the shadows, it was a woman, she said something that Horus could't hear, gave a wink to the twins, and then smiled at the rest. Horus had a feeling she could cause trouble when combined with the twins.
Horus raised up his other hand, while still holding the sword point to the boy his throat. He started speaking words in Egyptian, "Sun and Moon, you will do as I say, let the earth go in darkness, let darkness come out"
Looking op to the sky, everything turned gray. The little light shades that came in the ally were gone, so was the sun. Horus started an Eclipse, this surly would let them be amazed, at least that was what Horus thought.

>Sensitive much?< Vibe remarked as Mandain, or Horus.... whoever, put his sword to the new kid's throat. Amp merely snickered. She kept her eyes on Horus, since he was the obvious threat, and left the others, and the bugs, to Vibe.
"Well, this is a nice little gathering. Mind if I join in as well?" a familiar voice asked. Vibe turned to look briefly, and shook her head.
"Not at all. Things were just getting interesting," Amp translated out loud without turning.
"Something about show I heard?, How you this like?" Mr. Yellow Eyes began talking jibberish, or at least that's how it sounded to Vibe. She didn't recognize the language.
The light began to dim, and fade. Vibe looked around.
>Now this is interesting. Shadow manipulator?<
"I dunno," her sister replied quietly, just above a whisper, "but if he thinks that gives him an advantage, he'd better hope he has night vision."
Closing her eyes, Amp lowered the sonic pulse shield. In its place she began sending out steady, ultrasonic pulses. Where the pulses met resistance, they bounced back to her and her sister. She widened the pulse range, until the scene before them took clear shape. They could see everyone one of the scarab beetles, including the crushed one, as well as Horus and his sword, the other two kids, her sister, and Syn. Ironically enough, they could also see the curious faces that were peeking out of windows of the surrounding buildings.
A devilish, one-sided grin planted itself on Amp's lips. "Your turn Vibe," she said, just loud enough for Syn to hear. "Tell the clan 'lunch is served'."
At first it wasn't noticeable, but soon a steady rustling could be heard. The darkness seemed to become even blacker, but only in once spot. The blackness grew, and the rustling became louder, until shapes could be made out. The blackness took the form of an cloud of bats. They swarmed the area, making a beeline for the beetles, and those nearby.
One of the little creatures peeled off and landed in Vibe's hair. She allowed it to stay there, as her focus was on the scene being bounced back at them through ultrasonic.
She noticed that another young woman had entered the fray. She seemed to know the redheaded twins, for it looked like she winked at them. This Mandain person had walked towards Calley and had pressed his sword against his throat then laughed again.
Moved quickly, Kitra pulled Calley behind her away from the blade's edge. She hoped that he would actually be somewhat safe there. Though she highly doubted it. She swung her other arm from behind her back and brandished a sword of her own. Her eyes narrowed and she snarled, "You aim to hurt my little brother." In a semicircle, Kitra raised her sword moving Mandain's out of the while keeping her sword on top. Kitra gave Mandain a blank stare. In a sincere voice,"I don't want to fight, but I will if I have to," but with a friendly undertone.
Out of the corner of her eye, Kitra noticed, something, she wasn't sure what. With her free hand, Kitra moved Calley back further, she had no idea what Mandain...or anyone else would do.

Calley
Calley gulped convulsively. This was, generally speaking, his first reaction any time a sword got pressed to his throat. The guy had, ah, a fairly decent scary look. But not quite as good as the Scary Boss Man's, really. Calley was almost disappointed.
Mister Crazy Man was spared the commentary that was welling up inside of him via Kitra's quick actions. This was probably a good thing for Calley, as well. The not-talking-back to the crazy man thing. Instead, he grinned out from behind Kitra: "My big sister's an ass kicker." He noticed Syn's broad smile--when had the Scary Sanctuary Boss Lady gotten there? Huh--and responded with a little grin of his own. "Nice day for--err... bats." He ended, noticing the descending horde. Huh. When one of them peeled off and joined the twins, understanding dawned. Sort of. When he realized the bats were eating up the scarabs... Calley laughed brightly. To top it all off, the sun seemed to be disappearing.
It was official: Calley should run towards maniacal laughter more often. This was fun.
"I'll just be over by the trouble makers," Calley happily told Kitra. Best to give her room to work that didn't include worries of himself being sliced and diced, he figured. "Don't beat him up too bad, Sis. Not everyone has your Scary-Certified Training." He edged away, keeping clear of the area between Mister Crazy and Kitra, and took a seat on top of the car the twins were using as a hiding place. "Hey Grumpy, hey Wonderful, hey Syn." He felt safe sayin' that last name, considering the young woman was wearing that silver self-proclaiming necklace of hers. "Anybody bring popcorn?" He asked hopefully, swinging his legs where he sat.
out of nowhere the boy who was in front of Horus got pulled away, and the girl took his place. She drew a sword pretty quickly and held it on top of his sword.
"I don't want to fight, but I will if I have to" The voice of the girl wasn't threatening. The stare she gave was, she looked into Horus his eye's, he felt she was definitely somebody she loved, but what cost would this pay her. Horus looked back at the girl, who now pushed the boy away from the scene with her free hand. He stood behind the girl, said some stuff to Horus, but all he was paying attention, was the girl in front of him. Horus put a quick look on a dark spot, it was getting darker and darken, his scarabs were getting uneasy, and the spot spread out. "
Bats, again" Horus smiled saying the words and putted his attention back the girl, that still had her sword on top. "Miss, Around turn while can you" Horus wasn't making real sense with his English dyslectic, but what he was trying to tell that she should get away while she could, he wasn't out to hurt her, the boy, those twins or the new mysterious lady that entered the scene. On the other hand, Mandain had made a move to wards those twins, so he would definitely had hurt them, but since Mandain was deeply lost, and Horus was in command, Horus chose to lower his sword.
"Believe we meet haven't" Horus put his sword back in his arm, and gave a bow before the girl in front of him. "Useless, to fight,"
Horus looked over the girl her shoulder, to the twins, the mysterious woman, and the boy that he had threatened with his sword. He walked passed the girl, now heading to wars the rest of his so called enemy's. He bowed, and waited for a response, if it was hostile, they would all suffer from a disease, of the response would be friendly, he would see how it go's on.

Calley
Calley was still waiting on the answer about the popcorn. But getting randomly bowed to by a guy that had suddenly switched from Terminator Mode to Semi-Decent-Guy was almost as good. It definitely confirmed the Twins' assessment of the man's mental stability, and it sort of spoiled a good fight in the making, but it kept the interest level up. All in all, Calley remained entertained.
He grinned in a friendly manner at the guy. "Hello." And took the Twin's advice: "Who are you? I'm Calley." He gave a little wave. Obviously, that whole sword-to-throat thing wasn't going to result in any lasting trauma. It was a little unclear, looking at Calley, whether he even remembered that this guy bowing to them could be dangerous.
There was a brief stand off as the girl who stood with the boy drew out a sword as well. All the while the sky continued to become darker. This guy definately had something about him.
Before long he put his sword away and made for the twins. Syn quickly moved over to put herself between the sonic sisters and this new arrival. She looked him in the eyes and as he approached she began to let out her pheremones to calm the guy down and try to assess the situation.
"You're obviously not from around here. Where are you from? By the way I like it dark so thanks for turning down the light." She spoke in a tone as if her words were made of the finest silk. "Why don't we just talk about all this?"

Vibe raised an eyebrow as the boy addressed them as 'Wonderful, Grumpy, and Syn', then asked for popcorn.
>What are we, loony magnets?< she remarked.
"You might be," Amp retorted, her eyes still closed.
She was a bit preoccupied, trying to make sense of Mister Yellow Eyes. First he was a guy in a snazzy suit that didn't take kindly to their retrieval skills, but at least seemed normal for New York. Now he was claiming to be an Egyptian god in a mutant host body. Definately screwy. On top of that he, at the very least, he could call out the bugs like they could call out the bats. Doubly screwy, and definately creepy.
And now he was bowing.... Bowing and smiling....
"Syn, ya got a straight-jacket with ya? 'cause this guy seriously needs one."
>Straight-jacket? Get this guy some tranks! Or a girlfriend, whichever one works better....<
"I'll just be over by the trouble makers," Calley happily told Kitra. "Don't beat him up too bad, Sis. Not everyone has your Scary-Certified Training."
'Oh great Calley, just great.' Kitra mentally pounded her head into a wall. That was all she needed, she wasn't that good. Hunter's training had helped....but she didn't think that would make her an expert on fighting. She was going to ream Calley as soon as this was over with. She liked being his 'big sis'. But.... 'drat, I really can't be to annoyed yet. I will definetly be later though.' Kitra sighed mentally and noted out of the corner of her eye that Calley had moved over by the Twins and Syn. She returned her full attention back to the crazy guy as he spoke.
Bats, again" Horus smiled saying the words and putted his attention back the girl, that still had her sword on top. "Miss, Around turn while can you"
Kitra blinked and frowned slightly. 'Now he's trying to be friendly, what is going on?' She felt rather confused.
"Believe we meet haven't" Horus put his sword back in his arm, and gave a bow before the girl in front of him. "Useless, to fight,"
Kitra was slightly stunned. 'What abilities does he have?! That sword is like my whips....' Her mind was reeling in shock. Mandain/Horus had bowed to her then went over to Calley, those redheaded twins and the young woman named Syn. 'Thats what Calley had called her anyway,' she thought with a small smirk. Kitra was totally confused now. 'Why was he threatening and then being polite. Personality issues maybe?'
"You're obviously not from around here. Where are you from? By the way I like it dark so thanks for turning down the light." Syn spoke in a tone as if her words were made of the finest silk. "Why don't we just talk about all this?"
This is getting more and more weird and yet interesting by the minute. Kitra shook her head slightly and walked towards Calley and the others. She stopped short by four paces or so.
"Syn, ya got a straight-jacket with ya? 'cause this guy seriously needs one."
Kitra looked over at the short haired red head. Kitra wondered what she had really gotten herself into...She corrected herself with a inward shke of her head. 'I didn't get ourselves into this mess, Calley did. Oh well, whats done is done.'
Kitra had been so preoccupied in her thoughts that it hadn't occured to her, till now, that there was a swarm of bats. There also seemed to be a departure from the sun. 'Who is causing what now? I think I will wait to find out more before I do anything else.' Kitra sighed, 'I hope that no one else shows up. That would make things more complicated.' She frowned, 'I will protect Calley at any cost however, the others?' Kitra shrugged mentally, ' Well, time would tell.'
As Horus had walked over to the twins and made his bow, the mysterious woman had come between them. She looked rather appealing, those gree eye's sure mad Horus interested in her and her capabilities.
"You're obviously not from around here. Where are you from? By the way I like it dark so thanks for turning down the light." The woman spoke in a tone as if her words were made of the finest silk. "Why don't we just talk about all this?"
Horus had to think about what the woman was saying since his English wasn't his best language, behind him was the other girl, slowly walking to wards the rest of the group. So far no hostile action had been made anymore. Horus looked at the woman and started smiling, her words made him feel comfortable, something he hadn't felt in thousands of years. She liked his trick with the sun, or was this all just a trick. Horus didn't have time to think anymore, his mind was clouded, and his hart was pounding like a mad man. The twins were still standing behind the car, and the boy still sitting on top of it. Horus began feeling weaker, his possession of Mandain his body became more and more out of control. Mandain was trying to get out, but Horus had some time left, not longer then an hour, but definitely he could restrain Mandain longer then 30 minutes.
"No, not from here", Horus smiled at the woman, Horus bowed at the woman, "Name is Horus, God of Egyptian, Sun and Moon. Who you might be?" Horus looked straight in her eye's still being seduced by her pheromones.
