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.

Iris heard the guy’s remark about drugs, and hid a chuckle behind a cough. Eb made a noise halfway between a purr and a growl, warning Iris that her calmness was beginning to wear off. Not surprising, what with all of the new people and places. She returned his smile and handshake. “Nice to meet you, Jason. I’m Iris, and this is Nika and...Kesusk?” She glanced at him to be sure she said it right. Then she headed up the stairs toward the bedrooms.
"Oh, but to answer your question Iris, I can control the weather, but for now only rain and sleet."
“Weather control?” She turned and smiled at Kesuk. “That would be a handy power all right. So, can you stop the rain as well? Make it a sunny day?” She paused at the top of the stairs. She turned to Jaosn, and pointed the right. “Boys’ rooms are that way. I just need to drop off Eb here in my room, then I guess we are going to try a Danger Room training session. I guess it depends on your definition of fun, but it should be interesting. You’re more than welcome to join us. I’ll be right back.”
She headed down the middle hallway, and her room at the end of the hall. Cautiously, she opened the door, expecting something to either fall on her, or jump out at her. But it was quiet, and it looked as if Chip and his friends had decided to behave for once. She shut the door, and unpacked a box that had “Opera Stoppers” scrawled on it. Along with a scratching tower/hut, a variety of cat toys soon graced the bed and floor. Iris left her pet to explore, closing the door behind her, and returned to the group at the top of the stairs.
Watching Jason trying not to make his staring obvious was making Nika giggle. She was used to people staring at her or pointing her out, and now she didn't let it bother her anymore. Instead, she thought it was funny.
Nika helped lead the way along side Iris to show Jason where the boys rooms were at. When they stopped for a moment and iris pointed the direction of the rooms and then mentioned having to take Eb to her room; Nika gave Eb a brief rub behind her ears and smiled at her.
When Iris had gone to her room the cat girl turned to Jason. "Jason would it make you feel better if you touched my ears to know their real? I don't want you to feel so unconfortable if we're all going to be living here." Finishing her sentence she tilted her head towards Jason.

Jason cracked the biggest smile and fell back against the wall. Wasn’t to often Jason was happy or felt comfortable around anybody and defiantly not that quick. Jason raised his hand to rub behind Nika’s hear and started laughing again.
“Girl…umm you are to much.” Jason said with a big smile on his face. “I’m going to find a open room and put my stuff in it and ill be right out.” Jason said walking down the hall. Jason kept opening doors and finding people’s stuff. Even caught a guy walking around the room in a black thong. Then he hit it the last door on the right. “Ah, I guess this is gonna be home for a while.” Jason said to him self feeling safe like a place to finally stay and not worry about getting the boot. Jason tossed his big bag on the bed and walked out.
Tightening up his gloves on his hands Jason walked back down the hall meeting up with the group. “There all ready to go. Ill just make my bed in the morning.” Jason said in a jokingly manner seeing how he never really woke up in the same place twice.
Nika couldn't help but purr when Jason rubbed her ear. Her instinct took over and besides, it felt nice. "What do you mean I'm too much? I saw you staring so I wanted to help you be more comfortable." She smiled at him and then watched him search for a room.
While waiting for Iris and Jason to come back Nika looked around at some of the paintings and pictures on the walls. Some where of landscapes while others were of people. There was even one of Charles Xavier himself.
It didn't take long for Jason to come back from finding a rooma nd dropping off his stuff. Nika laughed at his bed making comment. It just seemed so random but she was glad he was warming up and talking.

Iris returned the group, noting Jason's bag was gone. He must have found a room. And he looked a bit more at ease now, as well.
"You all settled?" she asked him. "Everyone ready?" She headed back down the stairs, suddenly wondering if Miss Tricity would mind a midnight training session. "So I guess the mansion is attacking a lot of new people. What brings you all here? Besides the obvious, I mean." She hope no one would think she was prying. She found that some people were a bit sensitive when it came to their backgrounds.

Jason felt a real uncomfortable real quick. This was the moment Jason didn’t really want to happen but new it was going to happen sooner or later. Jason turned around and just kinda let it all blurt out.
“Well I don’t know where to start. Umm Parents got rid of me. Nobody wants me. Everyplace I go they find someway to get something out of me then when they get what they want I’m looking for some place new.” Jason started to feel a little upset but remembered that everybody that was in this house somewhat like him in one way or another. Jason’s hand became relaxed again. And he just looked at the 2 girls and said. “I’m here for a new start.”
Jason's story sounded similar to Nika's own story, but she knew others probably had a bad past also. "I know just how you feel Jason. That's why I'm here too. No where else to go and I'm hoping that being here will be good for me." Nika smiled at everyone one. "Plus I like making friends and just being me and now what others want."

Jason's outburst surpised Iris a bit. She hadn't meant to open old wounds, and her face showed it. Suddenly she felt a bit naive; she'd been sheltered most of her life and while she knew about anti-mutant feelings, she hadn't meet so many people that it affected so badly.
"I'm sorry life hasn't treated you kindly." She smiled at Nika's comments, and nodded agreement. "Well, you've made three friends so far, so I'd say we're all off to a good new start. Must be something in the water," she kidded.
Nika couldn't help but laugh as a thought popped into her head from earlier. "Well, Iris as long as it's not your hands in the water." She muffled her giggles and calmed down. "Sorry I couldn't help myself. I had a thought of your water hands comment earlier when we were trying to get Ebony."
Kesuk decided he would acually get some clothes on while Iris was putting her cat away in her room. Kesuk put on a pair of pants and a tee shirt, then left to the girls hallway where he had seen the 3 people. " What did i miss" Kesuk asked as he came behind Nika and wrapped his arms around her and gave her a kiss on her head. " We heading to the danger room now?"
Again Nika couldn't help but start purring softly as Kesuk wrapped his big arms around her again. "We were just talking and Iris was asking us little bits of stuff. You didn't miss much really"
" oh thats good" Kesuk said while looking down at Nika, who was looking up at him, and kissed her again on the lips. " so to the Danger Room then?" Kesuk asked

Jason was not ken at all when other some guys tried to make them self the top dog in on some situations. It made Jason feel even less about him self, if someone could feel any less. Jason just kinda laughed it off and decided to start showing his real self around this house. That’s what people seemed to want. They didn’t want anybody to fake a funk just be them self’s so that’s what Jason decided to do.
“Well were glade you could catch up with us. And umm your name was?” He asked s he gave a little scratch to the back of Nika’s ear.

“No, I haven’t messed with the water here, or the ice. I swear.”
Iris tried, unsuccessfully, to hold back a giggle as Nika began purring again. The girl’s cheeriness was contagious.
“Sure,” she replied to Kesuk's question. When Jason asked Kesuk his name again, she glanced at him curiously. She could have sworn she introduced him. Didn’t she? But she didn’t say anything.
As they continued on, a thoughtful look crossed her face. “I wouldn’t think anyone else would be there this time of night.” She shrugged, her expression changing over to slightly impish. “Well, only one way to find out, right?”
(OOC: I'm going to go ahead and start a thread in the Danger Room, but feel free to keep adding here if you'd like.
When Jason scracthed Nika's ear, Kesuk gave a sarcastic smile and said " Im Kesuk, I believe we already met, you are Jason right?" while hugging Nika from behind even more to make sure this guy got the point. " Yah lets go see, and went i went there yesterday with fiona it was really fun" he said as he grabbed Nika's hand and made his way to the danger room with everyone else
