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.

His chest rose gently and rythmically as he continued to sleep with the red haired beauty in his arms. Slowly his eyes began to flicker open and Luke's sonar reactivated. It took only a moment for him to take in the woman's form that was currently hidden beneath the sheet. Her curves, though covered, were still obvious and Luke could feel his lips curving up into a slight smile. He still couldn't figure out how in the world Raina had chosen him of all people. How in the world had he eard her heart? Why had she given it to him?
"Morning sweetheart." Luke murmured quietly after several moments of just looking at his beautiful girlfriend. Tilting his head down he pressed a gentle kiss to the top of her head and then leaned back against the pillows once more. Whatever happened today, it was going to be a good day because he was with Raina.

The evening had floated by as if a dream. Though Raina had jokingly added to the mood when she explained to Luke that her 'birthmark' looked more like a bananna to her rather than a fish. She was a bit relieved that he had lessened the tension by asking her to describe her body. She was in a such a subconcious rush that she might not have slowed down and really taken the time to enjoy things had he not asked her a question to make her think. Afterall, with all the interruptions they'd had in the past with all their attempts Raina's subconscience had a good idea what it was doing. "I have a scar here." Raina had said taking his hand and placing it on her skin. "And another here." she had taken his other hand and placed it a bit lower. It had gone on like that for a few moments while Raina described different features of her body and showed Luke with his hands... though she may have had altiereor motives at the time.
She had done her best to undo his shirt buttons with shakey hands insisting it was only fair if she got a good look...and before she knew that she was finished she was swept into his arm, swept up into the moment, as the towel was swept onto the floor...
*** She laid stretched out under the sheet with her bare skin pressed against Lukes. Her head was on his chest and she was listening to him breathe. Her eyes were closed and she wasn't fully awake until she heard him speak her name. "Mmm..." she murmered reaching a hand up to take his. He was so warm. Now he was in a completley different light. She felt good this morning. Really good. She didn't have a care in the world and she knew that was how it was supposed to be. "morning..." she mumbled. Her body ached. A lot. That's what she got for using it when it was still sore. But a smile came to her lips. She most certainly didn't regret that decision.
Everything had been so extreme thanks to their amped emotions. She remembered thinking her heart might explode it had pounded so fast. A few times she didn't think she'd be able to breathe. Though they were so physical perhaps a result of everything they'd been through- Raina thought Luke had been quite gentle with her. Like she might break. In the back of her mind she couldn't help but wonder what had happened to her.
Now while she was lying there she finally got up the courage to ask. After everything she... experienced... with this man, she couldn't be afraid to ask him. "What happened to me yesterday?" she asked Luke in a hushed tone. She didn't want to break the mood but she had to know.
She slid herself over so that her bare chest was on his and she propped herself up on her arms and looked down at him. "Did I really die?"
She couldn't recall anything after blacking out. But this morning she felt much more alive than she did when all of this started.

As Raina moved her body, sliding bare skin against bare skin Luke felt a stirring in his body. A part of him wanted to see about having a repeat performance of the previous evening but the other part just wanted to cuddle and enjoy these few moments of quiet with Raina.
"What happened to me yesterday?" Raina's voice was soft, maintaing the intimacy of the moment even though she was turning the subject to something more serious. Pushing herself up, Raina moved on top of him so that her torso rested directly against his.
"I wonder if she's gonna warn me about looking at her boobs like she did that day back at the beach." Luke wondered with a small smile on his face as he thought back to that special day that had taken place a month or two before.
Raina moved to prop herself up on her arms and simply looked down into Luke's face. "Did I really die?"
The blind man stilled for a moment as he lifted a hand and began to gently trail his fingers up and down Raina's spine. "Yes..." Luke said quietly, doing his best to control the emotion that was beginning to creep into his voice, "I... I lost you."
It was something that Luke had never seen before... it was something he had never experienced before. "Michelle... she can do more than heal. She can bring someone back if the haven't bene gone to long." He continued speaking, his free hand lifting and meshing his fingers with one of Raina's hands while his fingers continued to move up and down her back, "She brought you back... she gave me another chance with you. And I'm not taking that lightly Raina... I'm never going to take a moment with you for granted."

Raina listened with a serious yet contented look on her face. "I didn't want to leave you." she added when he explained everything. "I think I can remember that much." she thought about Michelle... she was one of the mutants who'd kidnapped her but in the end she saved her life. Maybe Michelle had been put in a bad situation. Raina knew all about how people could be manipulated especially having worked for the x-men she saw a lot of the 'bad guys' as just misguided and taken advantaged of mutants.
She linked her hand again with Lukes. She could feel her heart pounding against his chest- just a skip away from his heart. She thought a moment about what it meant to be alive. Then she leaned down and kissed Luke's nose. "I love you. I'm going to say it a lot and you're going to get sick of it." she stuck her tounge out being silly and pressed her forhead to his. "Do we even have to leave this bed for the next few days? Don't you think we have an awfully lot to get caught up on?"

Inadvertently Luke's wandering hand had pushed the sheet down to Raina's waist, allowing him to explore the bare skin of her back as his fingers continued to trail up and down. He was being careful to keep his hands from going anywhere more intimate because just being able to enjoy her smooth skin was good enough for the moment.
"I love you. I'm going to say it a lot and you're going to get sick of it."
"That would never happen... not in this lifetime." Luke replied with a chuckle as Raina stuck her tongue out in a silly expression and then tilted her head forward so that her forehead was resting against his.
"Do we even have to leave this bed for the next few days? Don't you think we have an awfully lot to get caught up on?"
For a moment Luke was quiet as he let Raina's words and the suggestive tone behind them play over both of their libidos. "And here I thought we did a lot of catching up last night." Luke replied with a teasing smile on his face, "Was there something you forgot to describe on your body? Any more interesting scars or birthmarks I need to know about?"
Moving his hand lower, Luke slipped it under the sheet, stroking all the way down to Raina's thigh and then back up to the small of her back again as his hand once again came out from under the sheet. Tilting his head up, Luke pressed a gentle kiss against Raina's lips for a brief moment and then leaned his head back against the pillows once more. "I have to admit... a part of me wants to recreate our time last night but maybe we should eat something first... to keep up our strength."
It took all of Luke's willpower to even make the suggestion. As much as he wanted to be with Raina physically once again, he still didn't want to rush anything. This was special time in Paris and he wanted every moment to be magical. Both their time out in the city and their time, right here, in the bed. "But it's up to you," Luke continued quietly, his hand moving up over Raina's shoulder blade before turning and following the curve of her spine back down toward one of her more intimate areas, "What do you think?"

Raina whined playfully a bit. "But I forgot to kiss you this way" she insisted leaning down and kissing him. "and this way" another kiss this one meant for his neck "and I've always liked this way." she giggled. But he was right. Food would be important. She hadn't eaten since yesterday morning and her sore body needed a little more than 'lovin' to heal. She was reminded of that when she bent down for that last kiss and a pain shot through her neck.
"You might be on to something with that food idea though." she grinned. "And I mean I do have you kept prisoner here all day..." she backed off him just a bit so she was sitting and smiling at him. "I'm sure I can find lots of things to do with you." shr grinned playfully but backed off the rest of the way because the more she talked about food the hungrier she realized she was.
She stood on the carpet now and pulled one of the sheets from the bed. "I'll take that." they may have crossed the line to uncharted territory last night but Raina wasnt about to wander around their hotel room without clothes on... and her clothes were all in the guest room. The one she wasn't going to need again. She wore a silly grin. "So what do ya say tiger? What should we eat?" she wrapped the sheet around herself like a dress.

The kisses were intoxicating and it seemed that every time Raina's lips pressed against his own, Luke wanted more. As she playfully teased him all thoughts of food and regaining their strength began to slowly disappear. He was here with a beautiful woman in his arms... who cared about food?
"You might be on to something with that food idea though." Raina finally said as she pulled away, leaving Luke rather breathless underneath her, "And I mean I do have you kept prisoner here all day..." As she spoke Raina was slowly sliding down his body while moving into a sitting position. She apparently didn't realize or, more likely, didn't care that she was exposing herself to him as completely as she had ever done before. "I'm sure I can find lots of things to do with you."
As Raina sat up and then slipped out of the bed, Luke's sonar hungrily took in her form. The night before had been fantastic but he hadn't been able to just look at the beauty of Raina's body. Sure they had been around each other when they were somewhat... scantily clad, but they had still be wearing something. Having this moment to see her raw, sensual beauty without anything to hide her was something Luke just had to appreciate.
"I'll take that." Raina said with a grin as she reached over and snatched the sheet of the bed, suddenly reversing the situation and leaving Luke as the one that was now completely exposed to her prying eyes. "So what do ya say tiger? What should we eat?" She asked, continuing the playful banter as she wrapped the sheet around her body like an extremely thin dress of some type.
Raising his hand, Luke ran it through his hair, taking a brief moment to try and slow his heartbeat and calm down the rest of his body as well. There would be plenty of time for being physical later... now they needed to find food in order to build up the energy for their next time together.
"Uh... that depends." Luke said with a slight smile as he sat up and reached over, quickly pulling on the pair of boxers that had gotten tossed aside at some point during the previous night, "If you're wanting to stay in a sheet then I'd suggestion room service. If you want to get dressed then we can head out on the town."
Moving quickly Luke suddenly was up on his feet, closing on the young woman. He was aiming to wrap her up in his arms and remind her that there was more than just one kind of hunger.

Raina stood still for a moment as if contemplating ...then without any warning she lept into the air and back onto the bed crashing next to Luke but determined to take him with her. Raina apparently had a thinkg for jumping on people, on beds. She burried her face in his neck and muffled that room service sounded like a splended idea. She giggled like a school girl as she flattened herself next to him underneath the sheets again. Yup. This was what days off were meant for. This was what being alive was meant for.
"I think we need lots of protein." instructed Raina "we burned through waaaaay too much energy with everything yesterday and last night. You can't see it but I've got a nice shiner." she said touching her eye gently. "you're looking a bit beat up yourself. So lots of protien for healing bodies."
Luke was actually looking really beat up now that she'd stopped to notice. She wondered what had happened while she blacked out. She wondered where Dr. Che had gone too. Her face went grum for a moment thinking of him. He was still out there.

Raina's playfulness was infectious and even though she surprised him by her quick move to knock him back down onto the bed, he went along with it. Wrapping his arm around her he held her firmly, but gently as she nuzzled and giggled into his neck.
"Room service it is then..."
"I think we need lots of protein. We burned through waaaaay too much energy with everything yesterday and last night. You can't see it but I've got a nice shiner." Raina order good naturedly as she reached up to gently touch what Luke had to assume was her black eye, "You're looking a bit beat up yourself. So lots of protein for healing bodies."
"Yeah... we can both use the food and the rest." Luke replied, his tone somewhat regretful. He could feel the stiffness in his muscles and the burn patterns on his skin that must have come from Greg's electricity... he could fill the lump on the back of his head that came from Leslie... he could even feel some of the bruises on his arms and chest from his struggle with Greg on the floor. But even with all of that, a huge part of his mind didn't want to admit that he needed to rest.
For weeks he and Raina had been circling this situation... dipping a toe into the water only to pull it back out as they played back and forth with each other. Now that they had jumped in completely Luke just didn't want to stop... not yet...
"Since most people here in France are pretty spartan when it comes to breakfast, I suggest a nice brunch order. I think we slept past breakfast anyway." Luke said as he tried to pull himself out of his own thoughts, momentarily missing Raina's change of expression, "How about bacon, ham, a nice meat and cheese quiche, some croissants, mixed fruit, soup of some sort, and ice cream for desert."
Moving his hands to Raina's side the blind man began to tickle her playfully as his smile widened. "I can ask for extra chocolate sauce... that has uses other than ice cream after all..."

ooc: ah apparently my reply didn't go through. Darn
IC: Raina stared at Luke with a shocked look on her face. "Luke Jacobs. Did you just suggest using chocolate syrup for anything but eating?" she stared. "You certainly have not been around me long enough. When there is chocolate around... I basically absorb it." Raina was a complete choco-holic. She meant business when she meant things would get eaten. Theyd have to roll around in the sheets with some otheredible substance because if chocolate was involved.. she fully intended on gorging.
She gave him a laugh and picked up the phone for room service. She quickly made their order and turned back to Luke. "Might be a while." she grinned. "I think..." she edged closer to him "Mr. Jacobs." she continued. "That we... have some time to kill." she walked her fingers up his chest.
It was funny... before all this Raina felt akward. She was unsure of her feelings and didn't even have the slightest clue how to be seductive. But now everything came so naturally. It didn't feel like an effort. This was just the way she wanted to be with Luke. As she pulled him with her under the sheets she was determined to show him that.
***
The knock at the door was barely audible over Raina's giggles. "Stop stop!" she laughed "the food is here the food is here! Behave!" she laughed doing her best to crawl out of the best trying not to fall off it. She dashed to her feet and made a streak for the guestroom telling Luke he better not laugh. She got inside quickly and doned a robe stopping only a moment to press down her bed head hair and prance off to answer the door.
A young bell-hop was standing in his suit with their cart of food. "Mme" he said and Raina giggled a bit. She felt her cheeks burning. He gave her a bit of a dis-tasteful look but Raina didn't care. She tipped him the last of her spending money anyhow and closed the door in his bewildered face.
"Room service!" she called wheeling the cart of food into Luke's bedroom. "Are we eating in bed?"

Luke had to laugh as he watched Raina's expression change in response to his comment about chocolate syrup and its other uses beyond simply eating. "Ok... Ok..." The blind man chuckled as he tilted his head and kissed her lips quickly, "Scratch the chocolate syrup... maybe caramel..."
Leaning back against the pillows rather comfortably he listened contentedly as his lover made the phone call to order room service. Even after all the stress of the previous night, Luke couldn't think of a single thing that could ruin this day. This was his special time alone with Raina and he was going to enjoy every moment of it.
"Time to kill?" Luke murmured in response to Raina's attempt at seduction as he was pulled under the sheets alongside her, "Well... after all we've been through we had better not waste a moment."
They had waited a long time to reach this point... they had both gone through a lot and had plenty of time to make sure about exactly how they felt for each other but now that this special intimacy was here Luke had one main thought.
"She was more than worth the wait..."
"Maybe I should give you a tour of my scars this time." Luke murmured huskily as he took a hold of Raina's hand and began to lead them along a special tour, "It's only fair..."
***
The opportunity to just be playful with Raina was like nothing he had ever experienced with any other woman. Even after their physical needs had been temporarily met, the two would still tease each other and tickle each other, simply showing the affection that had so desparately wanted to share for some time.
"Stop stop!" Raina's laughter filled the air as a soft knock from the main door could be heard, "the food is here the food is here! Behave!"
"Why... I like it when we're naughty!" Luke replied with his own laugh as he reached over and tried to pinch her beautiful backside as she slid off the bed, "Hurry back!"
"Don't laugh!" Raina playfully scolded him as she ran out of the room, through the main suite, and into her own bedroom while clad in just her birthday suit.
"Laugh... I could never laugh at such a vision of beauty!" Luke called after her as he turned and began to focus on making the bed more comfortable for their breakfast. After plumping the pillow and shoving them back so that he and Raina could sit up with their back against the them, Luke grabbed his errant pair of boxer shorts and once again pulled them on.
"Room service!" Raian called as she walked back into the bedroom, wheeling a cart of food directly over to the bed, "Are we eating in bed?"
"Did you want to go anywhere besides the bed today?" Luke asked with a mischevous grin and slightly upraised eyebrow, "I thought that today was all about food, fun, and fffff.... other things."
It was a lame joke and Luke knew it but he didn't care as he walked over to help Raina unload the cart and get the trays set on the bed. "The only other thing that might interest me is if I get to hear you sing again... I don't think I can ever get enough of your singing."

Raina spun around and made a face at Luke. "Oh come on. We do the "deed" and suddenly I see the bad joke side of you?" she playfully batted at him. "Luke honey we're going to have to work on your comedy skills." she slid back in comfy and warm next to him and started on her food.
She hadn't realized how hungry she was. Her head felt light now and her stomach cramped from being empty so long. "Ohh... going to have to pace myself." she muttered. She pushed the food around looking at it longily with her fork while waiting for her stomach to settle. Then a look of horror washed over her face.
"Sing?" she went a little pale and her voice waivered. "I... I don't think I can sing anymore!" she practically announced remembering what Derek had done to her. "Derek... he did something..." her vision was blurring a bit now and her body hurt all over as panic started to sink in. She opened her mouth to sing but not much happened. A few sharp and painful notes emerged but no melody and no ice.
Usually a mutant would be relieved to have a day without their power but every being of Raina rejected this new found nothingness. "Luke..." her voice quivered and finally the tears gave way and spilled over and with a few muffled noises and painful grunts Raina's streaming tears caused a tail to appear in their sheets. "Oh just great!" her mood was drastically different now. "What am I going to do? I can't exactly help the x-men with my amazing fish tail. Without my ice call I can't do much at all."
Perhaps it was the stress of everything and the welcome emotional release but once the flood gates opened Raina couldn't stop them. She was sobbing and her body heaved with her. She wasn't just crying because she'd lost her ice call. She was crying because it brought back painful memories of the camp, because she had an encounter with a doctor who'd previously tried to kill her, because Luke had been hurt, because she had been hurt, and because their romantic night had been ruined.
Part of her was mixed and even cried for the relief that she and Luke had actually consemated their relationship. Women can be funny creatures- especially when they're emotional like Raina. Once the tears started she wasn't sure herself what was going to make them stop.

Apparently some things had happened back at the warehouse before Luke had arrived. He'd notices of course that Raina hadn't used her ice in the battle but he hadn't really thought anything of it. To hear that Derek had done something to keep Raina from singing turned his blood cold. Was it permanent? Even if she couldn't access her ice power, could she ever sing again?
"Luke... Oh just great! What am I going to do? I can't exactly help the x-men with my amazing fish tail. Without my ice call I can't do much at all."
At some point Raina had transformed to her mermaid self and even though the scent of fish was now in the air, Luke didn't care. He did know however that her gills needed to be covered so, without the slightest hesitation, Luke yanked the pillowcase off of his pillow and then carefully wrapped it around his girlfriend's neck just tight enought hold the gills closed. Slipping his arms around the young woman, he pulled her head to his chest, simply letting her cry for a few minutes. She needed this release and he wasn't going to ruin things by saying anything stupid... at least not yet.
The feeling of her fish tail against his bare legs was... different. Not necessarily bad but not really enjoyable either. Different was really the only word to explain it but that didn't matter. All that mattered was trying to comfort Raina.
"It's going to be OK sweetheart." Luke murmured, gently rocking her in his arms as he pressed kisses to the top of her head, "Someone at the mansion can help... someone can take care of this."
It was the only thing he could think of... as much as Raina had given to the mansion, there had to be someone that could help her through his. Maybe the Doc Prof could heal her or something... for crying out loud, Luke wasn't even sure exactly what was wrong but he knew that someone... anyone had to help Raina!

It took Raina a few moments to realize everything Luke had done in the space of time she'd started crying. Her gills were covered and she was breathing normally and she was locked in a warm embrace despite being scaley and smelly. She sobbed a bit more since this was one of those things where when you started you didn't exactly get a choice when you stopped- but soon calmed a bit to light cries. "im s-sorry." she finally stammered out. "I just don't like this at all. I didn't mean to ruin our breakfast. I just feel so violated."
The tears stopped soon after a small moment of silence and within a few moments of that Raina's legs began to shift back to normal though the fishy smell still sort of lingered. "You're right. Someone at the mansion has to be able to help. I'm not really sure what Derek even did to me. He just told me I couldn't sing and apparently I listened." she gave a half laugh- the kind people do when they're trying to calm themselves down after crying. "I ruined the bed." she muttered. "Maybe we should go out for the day so the place can be cleaned up a bit?"
That was a loaded statement. The front part of their suite was a total mess from the kidnapping and failed romantic evening. This bedroom smelled of fish and needed to be aired out and have the linen changed. "It might help destract me." she admitted. "We could do some last minute shopping or visit the musuem or something."
Raina was surprised at how easily she believed Luke that she'd be alright. Though they'd experieinced something very intimate last night and again a few times this morning... she couldn't help but feel that the vulnerable moment that was just shared was very intimate as well.

Luke chuckled quietly as he pulled Raina a little bit tighter against him. "How about we get cleaned up and then head out on the town then. We can tour the museums and have lunch at one of those little cafes. I'll make arrangements to see about recreating the evening we originally had planned for last night so that when we come back we can try to forget all the negatives that happened."
Lifting his right hand, the blind man gently traced Raina's jaw line as he directed his eyes so that they would be looking into hers. "How does that sound, beautiful?" He asked softly.
Together... everything about this trip seemed to be trying to each both Luke and Raina that they could get through anything as long as they were together. A kidnapping attempt... lost power... newly discovered power... and so many other foibles and issues could be overcome as long as they faced the situation side by side.
Once they returned to the states there would be even more questions to answer. How would they manage to find time together in their busy schedules? Would it be necessary for them to try moving in together or should they still maintain separate homes? Was it better for their schedules to maintain the different residences with clothing at each so they could rotate back and forth as necessary?
Eventually those would all be issues that would have to be dealt with, but for now Luke was going to focus on enjoying the last of their very special trip to Paris!
