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.

ooc: I think Rupert will be iniating the raid, but this is just a little storm to set the mood. gotta keep 'em on their toes.
ic:
The tension in the room admitedly went up. Somehow having no lights seem to magnify the small noises in the building. As Raina's eyes adjusted to the darkness she could see Shield take a defensive stance. After a few moments of silence the lights flickered again but remained off following a crack of thunder and splash of lightning.
Raina could hear her heart pounding in her chest. "I t-think we're ok." she said moving cautiously around the room. "It's the storm"

Michael relaxed his grin on the sword. Just a storm. The new guy’s attitude bothered him. He wasn’t bullet proof, it only took one bullet to hit him and it was game over. Brushing that thought aside he put one hand on Emerald’s shoulder, as if to reassure himself she was still there.
He was on edge, worried for everyone else. No matter what happened he’d be fine, but everyone else was very breakable, Emerald was proof of that. He didn’t want to see anyone get hurt. Well, maybe the new guy. If he got hurt a little perhaps he’d become a bit less gung ho.

ooc: K, i've made it pretty clear by now it's JUST a storm. We've got a whole plan here, that's already been posted and approved in the plot section. You can still be creative within the plan we've got.
ic:
Raina was getting nervous. "Shield." she said finally breaking the silence. "Maybe you better check it out." she was on edge and the pounding of the rain against the mansion windows and roof was becoming a silent trap for her. "There should be a utility box just outside this main room. If the mansion is wired the way most places are, there should be a large re-set switch in the center. It can be dangerous resetting during a storm, but I doubt a little shock could hurt you." They'd all feel much better with the lights on.

Ben sat down and forced his knotted knerves to unwind "Im ok with the dark.." He said almost absentmindedly. "Sorry...im just tense from..never mind." he said dismisivly...if there was two things he dident want it was another fight and soulsearching....because that meant whoever got involved allways ended up getting hurt....and frankly ben was tired of that.

(Ooc: People, could you guys post a little bit less in a few hours, it's kinda hard to keep up when I live in another time line, like 7 hours from you guys, i got to read almost a page everyday and that's kinda hard to jump back in time and say my thing)
Mandain just stood there listening to people debate, this particularly one guy was debating about some stuff with Raina, not that Mandain cared but it was also getting a bit on his nerves. Suddenly the lights wend out, the guy that was debating with Raina sorta was freaking out, and Mandain couldn't help it and laughed at the guy.
Mandain?" said Raina fighting back the quiver in her voice. "a little illumination please?"
Mandain looked at Raina with his bright Yellow eye's, it was almost the only thing you could clearly see in the whole room. Mandain had to think about the question, he and illumination, Mandain's power wasn't based on light so he gave the question mark look back to Raina.
"Lemme try something" Mandain bit on his lip and started focusing, a bowl of ion energy was starting to form in the palm on his hand which was no stretched out before him. The ball when larger and larger but at a certain point when there was enough 'light' so he let the ball stop from growing. A purple glance was now shining threw out the whole room. Mandain looked around the corner to see if everyone he saw was still here and okay, only a couple of scared faces were staring nothing more. "Well I think this should do it" Mandain broadly smiled and looked at his nice creation.

ooc: sorry mandain, i thought the energy you use gave off a light, lol, seems I also made a mistake in regards to hunter an electricity! Thanks for going with it. This is what happends when I try to make posts from school, lol.
"Great." Said Raina watching Mandain. "I was hoping you could do that" The room was now illuminated in a soft purple glow. It didn't take long however before the lights flickered on again.
"Hopefully they'll stay that way" she said with a sigh sitting down looking at her phone hoping more mutants would reply.
ooc: we'll wait just a little bit longer before iniating the raid, K?

Emerald didnt really notice the hand that laid upon her shoulder, but somehow she felt safer than before. She listened to the newer boys rants and rolled her eyes a bit, her nose would be able to pick up the scents of whoever came to the mansion and she would be able to hear them as well, not as well as Ruby though.
Emerald watched the lights pop back on a small sigh of relief escaping her lips. "Well thats a relief, at least we can rest easy for a bit." The wolf girl replied, before glancing over at Ruby.
The Fox girl was tired, it was easy to see as she let out a small yawn. "Miss Raina I update the security on the Mansion so *yawns, slightly whimpers* We should be able to know if someone is comming." Ruby replied, letting out a tiny yawn. "I spent all night working on it."
Emerald noticed the fox girl morphing into her fox kit form, falling asleep on the couch.

There was a sudden loud thud, followed by a small scream. Naomi came toubling down the stairs, on account of she had been wondering around in the dark around a place she had just joined.
Smart.
She had tumbled into the livingroom with all the other panicking people. She got to her feet quickly and running over to the closest recognisable person she could find. She huddled next to Shield, looking very alert and scared in the dark. It was strange for someone of her age to be acting so childish.
"Whats going on? Why isn't there any lights?"
It was obvious she was panicking. She was breathing heavily, and huddling way too close to Shield, who for the most part was much younger than her.
"What's going on?" She asked again, her small voice quivering.
James looked around calmly as the lights went out "Could this be it?" he thought to himself, a good amount of the mutants were starting to panic, but they were quickly calmed by the others. As James listened to the storm the constant dull beating of rain erased any suspicion "Just the storm." he muttered to the others. The lights flickered on again, and everyone was fine. James was wondering what plan they could have, going out in a storm like this trying to keep everyone together while also trying to find any lost mutants, it was no easy task for them, but James wasn't complaining, it could work out for him.

Nicki walked into ran towards the living room. She had the worst habit of being late, even to important events, and this was one of those situations. She ran into the living room, looking over at the groups of people around her. She smiled exasperately. "Sorry guys, I didn't mean to run late but I wanted to make sure that Nika was gone before I actually said she wa-"
Her words were lost in the dark as the lights flickered on and off before going still and black. "Um....good timing on my part?" she asked, everyone disappearing before her eyes. Nicki closed her eyes, trying to focus as everyone started speaking. She tried to focus and see if anything was bleeping on her radar.

As the two new girls arrived he saw one rush up to him looking rather worried about the whole thing. Without really thinking he put an arm around her protectively before turning to Raina. Now a little shock was something that could hurt him. A lot.
“Sorry Raina, but I’ve discovered that I’m not electricity proof, so I just as at risk as everyone else if I flip the switch.” He was still very thankful to Ruby for showing him that weakness. If she hadn’t he’d probably have tried to do it and could have gotten himself killed in the process.

"Naiomi, Nicki!" exclaimed Raina standing up to greet the girls. Relief washed over her face and she almost felt like crying. "I'm so glad you made it, we were worried you were... well.. you know." she said not wanting to say the words. She was so relieved to make out the girls she could barley speak.
"Ben, if you think you can handle it, it's right outside this room." said Raina finally giving up with him hoping he didn't kill himself in the process.
"Nicki, Naoimi, we're waiting just a little longer for any stragglers, then we're going to track down the others."
ooc: now, I THINK that's everyone who wanted to be involved in the raid. am i wrong? dont wanna start without them.
