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 tricity barreled through the woods and around to the path, she saw the mansion coming up. she slammed on the brakes and opened the door of the truck, inputting the password to open the gates on the security box. the doors slowly opened and tricity pressed the gas, forcing her way through and scratching the sides of the truck.* ooo, sorry ri.... *as she flew across the front yard, she noticed nothing.* shit...where is he.... *archon suddenly came into view and she slammed on the breaks again.* JESUS!! ARCHON, GET IN! *the wolf jumped in the back of the truck and tricity mentally turned on the lights of the yard.* UGH! *she spun the truck in a 180 to head around the back. suddenly, ire came into view and she slammed on the breaks again.* AH! dammit! *ire looked at her in the front seat and then at johnathon who was jogging up to where they were. she honked the horn and started screaming.* JOHNATHON, RUN INSIDE!! GO INSIDE NOW!! *he looked confused and started running toward her.* NO, GET INSIDE!!
Thank god Tricity had gotten there in time. Orion came flying around the corner form the woods and saw the scene at the mansion. Putting one last burst of speed on he barraled toward Jonathan who was stupidly running toward the situation that was likely to get him killed. Jon didnt see Ire. Ire didnt see Orion Everyone but Orion and Tricity was blinded by the lights from he truck. Or so he thought. Ire made a quick slashing movement toward Jon. Orion lunged unsheathing his sword at the same time. The two blades clashed sending out sparks. Orion had also intentionally body slammed Jon away from the battle. The kid soared off the ground and slammed shoulder first into the patio furniture where he sat for a moment stunned. Archon leapt from the truck and did what he was told to. Tricity had started to gather electricity from everywhere. Now the two just stood there blades crossed and both panting.

Ire's eyebrows slanted in anger at his friends interruption for the second time.
"I told you it didn't have to be like this Orion but you leave me no choice. I will have what I desire!"
Ire broke hold of the blades and jumped back.
"Remember you brought this upon yourself."
Grabbing his stomach Ire hunched over. Orion knew what was to come but Tricity was dumbfounded. The darkness surged inside Ire as it hadn't for centuries. He shot straight and let out a scream of agony. Everything in the area was consumed by utter darkness.
Gorgon, who had been hunting and sleeping in the forested area near the mansion, was startled and angered by the sudden darkness. She was finally getting used to her new living situations, and this darkness did not bode well. Using her hair to help her find the way via heat-vision, she found her way to the main battle area, remaining a distance away, trying to observe what's going on before she jumped in.
Orion tossed his sword into a nearby tree and started to let loose himself. His chest felt like it was going to pop. He roared out in pain but his hands were now aflame. They hadnt done that before. Smoked poured from his now flaming eyes as well. He didnt know what was happening to him but he knew he must stop his friend from killing an innocent boy. Otherwise he would be just like Nelrith. Arms out legs planted shoulder width apart he unleashed himself and elt energy begin to ascend to astronomical limits.
He wasnt sure if he was going to rmember this battle. Every muscle buldged and every fiber in screamed, for blood. His roar drowned out thew alarm in the mansion. He felt Xavier in his head helping him to control the beast from within. He breathed heavy now and everythig he could see had a red tint to it. Eyes and hands aflame he waited for Ire to make the first move.

After the explosion of shadow Ire simply stood catching his breath. Using his fervor vision he could see Orion building power. On another hand he could feel someone watching from the woods. But that didn't seem to matter. Blades drawn Ire made headway toward Orion.
*tricity ran over to johnathon.* god, are you ok?? *he coughed and she helped him stand.* johnathon: "whats goin on??" just get inside...MAKE SURE NO ONE LEAVES.... *he was hesitant, but he ran toward the door. tricity turned back toward orion and ire and noticed orion appeared different from anything she'd ever seen.* oh god...whats happening... *tricity tried to concentrate on the lighting, but she couldnt figure out how to get it back on with the shadows ire was producing. she decided she might have to use her ultimate power, but...it might kill them all.*
*chaos stepped out of the mansion, this kid was running twords the mansion doors, he stood to the side and let the kid in,..he slammed the door behind him, chaos looked out and could see nothing but black, ire and orion must be messing around, he thought.........*
"Strange.....something doesnt seem right about this"
*He ran twords the forest, he knew the darkness was ires specialty,........using what he could with his slight telepathy he could make out the auras of several ppl, he noticed ires and orions had definatly changed........something was going down,.....he headed for the fray*
Gorgon observed as best she could. Everything was in bizarre colours and fuzzy outlines the way she was looking... to say nothing of how many sets of eyes she was looking through. She still deferred, trying to figure out who needed to be punished for this disruption in her life.
*Delphi and Siren arrive a little late to the 'party' mostly because the taxi drive won't drive all the way to the darkness. He get his fare thrown at him and Delphi grabbs Siren's hand in an effort to lead him into the problem.* We need to find Tricity and I'm relativly sure she is this way. She mutters to Siren.
Zephyr is in his room when he hears something outside. It grows louder and sounds like fighting. Ignoring his better judgement he grabs a few sharp toys that Wolf had sent him, and telekenetically opens his third story window and jumps out. He uses his powers to break his fall and land on his feet ready for action. He notices that most of the people there are looking or feeling around, he gets the sense that they cant see.
Letting loose a blast from his left hand Orion cause Irtes blades to rocket out of his hands and fly off in randow directions. Others could hear the thuds as the buried themselves in whatever was around. Shooting a burst of Order into his head he roared out in pain but he was able to see again. Ire did not stand still. He had cursed at Orion but dived into the fight anyway. The whole mansion was now clouded in darkness and Orion could sense several energies around him. He couldnt define if they were those he knew or enemies. Until he caught a glimpse of them he decided they would be his least concern now.

Ire would not be set back. He needed to fill the blood lust he felt inside. Orion could now see Ire and he knew it. Coming in close to the giant he sent out his left gauntleted fist for a strike to the midsection. The shot connected but Orion did not budge. Reaching quickly to his boot he retrieved his skinning knife and dove the blade into Orion’s side.
*tricity closed her eyes and swallowed hard. she'd only used her power to send a lightning bolt once before beceause of the emotional distress she felt. now seemed like a good time if any. the ground began to tingle under her feet and she felt the rest of the surge follow through the lawn. there was a cracking sound in the sky and she knew it was working. a bolt surged down toward tricity, knocking her backward, and sliding across the lawn. the light of the electricity had lit the entire lawn for a moment and the presense of everyone there was seen for a split second.*
