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.

Koga stomped his left foot to the songs drum beat much as if he were stuck in hell....or a square dancing rodeo. "Ain't goin' down 'til the sssun comes up
Ten 'til twelve isss wine and dancin Midnight ssstartsss the hard romancin One o'clock that truck isss rockin Two isss coming, ssstill no stoppin Break to check the clock at three They're right on where they want to be Four o'clock get up and goin Five o'clock that rooster's crowin!"
he nodded back to Cowboy shin and then backed off doing what can only be described as a jig. If he had ever looked more ridiculous in his life, he didn't know when. he changed the color of his skin as he danced making it look like he was moving more quickly.
"YeeeHaw!" Koga crowed at the still disturbed crowd, they were going to enjoy them selves or at they very least he would enjoy their misery.

The song finished and the hat flew back to Snakeskin boots. Shin grinned, grabbing the microphone. “Alright, alright! What do all you people want us to sing next? C’mon!! Don’t be afraid, you can suggest things!!”
The audience writhed in agony. Someone in the back stood, cupping their hands like a megaphone. “KARMA KARMA CHAMELEON!!” He shouted.
“Um, nope. We’re singing something more recent this time. Hey DJ, put on the Mean Kitty song!”
“…” The triple platinum single sprung up on the screen with a cat named Sparta dancing and wearing his hat backwards. He scratched his claws on the record player like a real live DJ, too!

Luna wasn't one to drink, in fact she wasn't one who drank much at all- INFACT she had a fear of drinking! But I could bore you with the details all day- the fact was she was drunk currently, in a bar, in Japan. How she got to Japan of all places was a mystery at the moment in hr swirled and dazed mush of brains at the moment.
She was not exactly intoxicated enough to be ahem- taken advantage of, but she was tittering on the edge enough to take out a building or two with her exploding power! Yep, everything was perfectly safe! No one would have to worry! Everything was fine! That was until she heard the blistering sound of two idiots singing songs that maybe her Grandma sang...
"Uhhh... Not good, I feel a headache coming on.... HEY! The TWO STOOGES UP THERE!" She pointed blearily at them, in a dramatic posture. "YES YOU TWO- get down and away-from-the-stage!" She spoke with a slur as she found her mind rushing, before the Doll mistress found herself walking up to the stage and attempting to take a mic. Getting the microphone in her hand she smiled to the crowd and waved. Getting laughs from some people in the back for her clothing. She was wearing her usual Trench coat and a pair of short shorts with some sandal heels.
Basically she looked like - a hooker. Her green hair was tied up in a bun, though this didn't stop her from taking the bun out as she tussled her hair. "I right! Change that music! I got a better one~" She grinned and winked at the boys before returning to the crowd. And thus the music began to start ( Hearts Grow, Yura Yura)
**“Um, nope. We’re singing something more recent this time. Hey DJ, put on the Mean Kitty song!”
"Thankssss." he said quietly to shin. He must have remembered the kids in the park the one time that he had lost his temper and tolerance for humans. It was a week or two after the scales set in and he was still coping with the loss of the last of his outward humanity.
They were jamming to the quasi-Rastafarian Sparta song. Much better then the country.
"Awe Man he'sss asssleep in the Sssink." His lisssp was sharp but quick while singing as to stay with the rhythm.
HEY! The TWO STOOGES UP THERE!" She pointed blearily at them, in a dramatic posture. "YES YOU TWO- get down and away-from-the-stage!"
Koga was in a great mode and couldn't help but crack up, his raspy laughter louder then it should have been. were they so bad that it was comparable to Slapstick?'the scantily clad woman stomped up to the stage and snatched the shared microphone.
Koga simple laughed again, at the audacity of the green haired... streetwalker? Green hair? Hmm, recognized the look, didn't he? wasn't there a girl that could blow stuff up at the school. He stepped back and tilted his head at Shin and mouthed the words " Loo na?"
After that he shrugged and lifted two fingers into the air victory style. he then slowly moved in a classic stooge motion, if Shin didn't want his eye poked he would put his hand flat and outward from his nose to block the maneuver.

The words ‘crazy as a’ flashed through his mind, but then his memory kicked in. Oh right, Luna… he’d seen her around the mansion once or twice, but he’d never talked to her. She was about Koga’s age, too… “I wonder what she’s doing here… aside from calling us stooges.” He brought the flat of his hand up to block Koga’s janken fist (scissors), catching the hand. Then he spun them to stare at the screen where a yellow-haired ninja in orange was jumping around like a leaf in a storm.
”Naruto?” He sighed, slumping forward. “I thought that series was over 8 years ago. Why would they have a song on this karaoke machine of it now? Haha…” The why didn’t matter. The point was, it was there. And they’d been challenged. “So now we have to sing this song for the crowd, then… ah well. Get ready.”
The music began, and Shin opened his mouth wide, singing the lyrics in Japanese with an English translation running on the bottom of the screen with an English translation for everyone’s benefit!
“In these wavering skies, I will fly to you. Since we've always been togetherm the space between us has become too big. Waiting for your honest reply, anyone would be lonely.~”

Gah! She had a headache! But this would not deter her from her fun! Oh no, defiantly not! Watching the two act the three- or two stooges in this case she gave a lopsided grin. "Wow... I didn't know you would take me seriously and- NARUTO?!"
She suddenly shouted as her eyes exclaimed surprise! "The show ended since when?!" She then paused and blushed, "SORRY!" She apologized in Japanese to the crowd as well, as some of the sober people left getting annoyed by her loudness.
"Aw.. we're killing the crowd here!" Luna spoke with a sad but drunk tone." I know!" Grabbing another mic she asked for them to change the song to BLEACH! The words Ichirin no Hana She sang it in english however to appease the crowd slightly, she was sure there was some American people here as well.
You are the only "you" There is no such thing as your replacement Don't wilt away, single flower
You are like a flower That bloomed in a dark shadow Even though you're in a place you didn't wish to be, You can't move because of your roots
Just spit out your closed-up feelings
I'll accept all of your pain and suffering So please don't cry Please smile, single flower~
These two were fighting over the mic and he thought it was funny, none of the three apparently needed any more drink and their singing wasn't any worse then the born to be wild they walked in on so he left it to Luna and Shin. Some one a couple rows back was about to "booo" but Koga recognized it before it started and as he didn't want anything to be blown up by the more than intoxicated Doll Misstress he hoped off the stage grimaced at the offender and took a right turn towards the bar just as the person really began to look worried.
He order six more saki bombs and got them and took them to a table right in front of the stage. he then avoiding looking directly up as he couldn't remember if Luna had a skirt on or not and from this angle he was to bashful to check.
He signaled for the pair that two of the drinks were there's each.subtly making them get off the stage before the crowd and the mutants had to face off in some terribl version of a karaoke duel.

“Er… I guess you can take over the mic…” Shin trailed as Luna seized command of the situation. His eyes widened, trying to take the horror of it all in. Screaming, loud metal music, Japanese lyrics sung in English. The crowd was swaying, but it didn’t look like they were caught in a groove.
Suddenly, Shin wanted to be in the audience with a cold beer (or beer substitute). Luckily, Koga seemed to have taken care of that as well! Shin stumbled over to Luna and nodded to the drinks. “If you’re finished, we have a cool alternative to lone flower petals screaming in the wind.” He slipped his microphone back into the stand and flicked 100 yen to the barkeeper as a way of ‘thanks’, then lurched off the stage. Snagging a drink off the table, he smirked at Koga.

Luna blinked as Shin got off the stage paying of the money for the karaoke, before settling with his friend for a beer. She however finished her song and decided enough was enough for the night. "Sorry folks. maybe next time!" Luna said waving wildily getting a few boos and chuckles from the crowd in the process. Paying the Barkeepr some of what little money she had on her, Luna sat down onto a seat next to Koga on the opposite side Shin was on.
She called up for a martini in Japanese, before she smiled half lidded and sheepish. " I could never handle beer, tastes like stilled water..." She made a blanching expression at the thought of beer and instead took her drink of alcohol. She took it down in shot! "So... why are you guys here in Japan?" She spoke with a slight slur. Anymore drinking and she might become addicted...
He smirked and stuck his tongue out in laughter. “Thanksss.”
" I could never handle beer, tastes like stilled water..." "So... why are you guys here in Japan?"
“Meh, a drinksss a drink. And we are here to torture the localsss of courssse. Thisss isss sssimply the first ssstep in a nine ssstep ssscheme to get thrown out of the mother land.” He grinned at Luna who was another of the asain invasion at the mansion. It was odd how many Japanese mutants the place attracted alone.
He tossed back his drink not letting Luna, beat him. “ Sssso what are we up to next? And Luna are you coming with ussss?” it wasn’t like Shin or Koga to turn away an one much less acquaintance or friend.

"Actually, we're in Japan for a better reason than that, Koga. Or, at least... I am. One of my old friends is getting married in a few days, and I got invited... kinda thought it'd be fun to drag someone along for the ride." He glanced at Koga with a laugh. Had he mentioned that? In his stupor, it slipped his mind.
"Hmm," Shin held his chin in hazy thought. They were all very drunk, it was late, and he wasn't tired... so passing out here was out. The night life in Japan also left little for them to do past bumming another few rounds at a rival bar, or finding another place to sing out their heart. Or maybe dancing... "Or an arcade." He blinked twice. "I'll bet I could outdance you all at DDR."

Luna gave out a bark of laughter at Koga's answer. "I can see you guys are doing a good job too!" She took another sip of her drink before eying Shin. " A wedding huh? I never really been one for weddings.. been to too many funerals to count though..." Luna trailed off before she downed the little left of the martini she had before sighing. "Sure I can play DDR! Well... just don't get me too angry, I might blow up the arcade..." She gave another laugh and most people wouldn't be able to tell if she was serious or not. "So... guys lead the way?"
~~"Actually, we're in Japan for a better reason than that, Koga. Or, at least... I am. One of my old friends is getting married in a few days, and I got invited... kinda thought it'd be fun to drag someone along for the ride."
“Umm guess I will need to find a bowtie or something….maybe I should just go Knight mode for the wedding. Heh. Though a bit more heads up next time wouldn’t hurt.
**A wedding huh? I never really been one for weddings.. been to too many funerals to count though..."
If shin wanted to invite Luna, that was cool with him, he didn’t know he was going to a wedding much less now the bride or groom well enough to invite a friend.
~~”hmmmm," "Or an arcade." "I'll bet I could outdance you all at DDR."
**"Sure I can play DDR! Well... just don't get me too angry, I might blow up the arcade..." "So... guys lead the way?"
“Really DDR ? Lets go see if we cant find something nearby, There is a Nintendo Cade around here somewhere and I think the Sonyplex is nearby as well, the two biggest, most up to date arcades are around here somewhere.maybe we should hail another cab?”
Koga sloshed to his feet oh, he would need to work some of the drink off of him, but when playing ddr, did you reall want to mess with some one who had a long enough tail to push down on the forward and back button. And worry about left and right with his legs.

"Alrgighty," Shin slurred as he sat his drink glass back down on the bar top. He ran his hands through his hair, then to his pockets, pulling out a tip for the man. "Thanks for the night. We're off now. Hey kids, follow me. Gonna go hail me a taxi cab."
He stumbled towards the exit, acting more drunk than his was, then popped his head out into the street, squinting his eyes. "Kuruma ga... inai..." The street was empty a classroom during the summer. Which is to say, full of desks piled in the center. Only, in this case, it was cars driving by like the Indy 500. He popped his head back in to call Koga and Luna. "Well, cmon!!"
