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.

Search Party (open to all mutants not yet register
Emerald's eyes widened when Michael blocked the attack, she hadnt been expecting that at all. She watched as he defended her, seemingly frozen in place, she really wasnt expecting that.
When Michael went down, the wolf girl was planning ont helping him when Ruby let out a call from the tunnel.
"Emmy! Come on!" Ruby exclaimed.
Emerald looked at Michael and remembered what he said before he black out. Run, and as much as Em hated doing it thats what she did. Ruby began to close the door to the tunel and Em slid into the hole, barely escaping the mans next attack with the Electric baton.
((Okay everyone the first person that wakes up will Wake up in the Registration post, Registration day One. They will be in the back of a van and as soon as they wake up they will be forced into the line to register. Em and Ruby will be captured a bit later))
((ooc: For those of you with navigational issues, "Registration Day One" is here. Also, I just like pretty links everywhere.
It's been a pleasure working with you all in this thread. I look forward to meeting those of you in the Resistance with Calley, and those of you getting registered I kindly ask to keep Rupert entertained. ))

Things were more hectic than they had been when the girl Iris had gone mad. There were soldiers, cops and robots everywhere Ali did her best to stay with the rest of the group as they tried to make their way out of the mansion. Occasionally blasting assailants with jet streams of hot air helped to keep their path fairly clear, but those damn robots would appear out of no where and snatch up one or two of the younger kids like a hawk.
Ali's attention lingered just a little too long on a couple of the cops in one of the rooms. When she turned back around to continue following the others they had left her behind. Oh wonderful Ali she thought just as two cops and one of the soldiers cornered her.
One of the cops spoke up, "There's no need to make this difficult. Just come with us mutant." Ya know, he was doing a decent job with the negotiations until he called her mutant in a tone that made it sound more like she was an object instead of a person.
Giving the men a subtle smile the fiery redhead concentrated on their weapons. In seconds their rifles and pistols became white hot, and the sizzling sound of burning flesh crackled in the hallway until the men hollered out and dropped their weapons. Each of them immediately looked at their burned hands. That was all Ali needed as she blasted the soldier out the window at the end of the hall and took flight as fast as she could to get away from the mansion. She hoped that some of the students and teachers had gotten out or found good places to hide. In the morning she would return to look for any who stayed safe.

The chair connected with one of the men's jaw, and knocked him sideways. If he wasn't unconscious, he was definitely seeing stars. By that time the other two had recovered and combined efforts to subdue Neena.
The first grabbed her arms, twisting her wrists painfully to make her release the chair. The second, the one directly on top of her, stayed where he was, and pressed his forearm into her neck to hold her down. Despite the pressure she managed several colorful oaths in Swahili. He pressed harder, cutting off her air. With his free hand he reached back to pull out a tranq gun. Unable to do much else, Neena brought her knee up into his groin. He grunted painfully, and dropped the firearm momentarily. A bit of the pressure eased on her neck, but not enough for her to get loose.
Gunfire from close by reached her ears, but she was too preoccupied to turn and see where it was coming from. The man had recovered enough to reach for the tranq again.
James had the shotgun raised as he walked in, Neena was pinned down by one of the cops. James raised his shotgun and walked up next to the man on Neena, pulling the trigger he sent the man flying off, into the wall. The second man who was grabbing Neenas arms let go and tried to rush him, James slammed the butt of the gun into his face, knocking him out.
Not paying attention to Neena James looked into the living room, seeing that nobody was there he walked back into the kitchen "Gone, shit." he thought as he walked up to Neena, showing a friendly face he reached a hand out to help her up. "The others are gone, either captured or escaped, we need to get out of here."

The smell of gunpowder coupled with the suddenly release of pressure on her throat sent Neena into a coughing fit. Her ears were also ringing from the proximity of the shot.
"Thanks for the help, but you could've spared my ears from that cannon," she grumbled when James came into her line of vision. She'd lost her glasses in the scuffle, so her almost-white eyes were clearly visible as she glared at him.
"The others are gone, either captured or escaped, we need to get out of here."
"No way!" She accepted the help up, but pulled away at his suggestion to leave. "There may be some hiding still, and I'm not leaving until I find out for sure."
Neena was thoroughly ticked by this point, and was not about to run. As she stepped over debris, she grabbed two kitchen knives with one hand and stomped out into the halls, her eyes blazin angrily.
James followed her into the hallway, "We can't help them, the building is crawling with cops and bots, any second now we can be attacked. I have a plan to get out already but if we don't leave NOW it won't make a difference." he said.
He walked quickly and cut in front of Neena, blocking her way, "listen, you won't do any good by going in, any second now we can get attacked and it will be all over. Were better off leaving and regrouping with the rest. Now I don't know where they are going, or even how they think, but you have been here long enough, and have gotten to know them, I need you to leave with me."
James could hear soldiers above them, running through the halls and into room, for the most part the fighting was over. It seemed they were the last ones in the mansion capable of defending themselves, and Quinn was not going to let Neena simply go get herself captured, not when she could help him catch the others.

Neena ignored him. She didn't consider herself the motherly type, but these kids were like her little brothers and sisters. She was not about to sit back and let these uniformed clods take her family away, not without a fight.
James had other ideas. He stepped in front of her. "listen, you won't do any good by going in, any second now we can get attacked and it will be all over. Were better off leaving and regrouping with the rest. Now I don't know where they are going, or even how they think, but you have been here long enough, and have gotten to know them, I need you to leave with me."
"Out of my way James, or I'm going through you," she warned through clenched teeth. She brandished one of the knives to make her point, and slashed at him. She wasn't necessarily trying to stab him, but she wanted him to move. She didn't care that he was better armed, as were most of the invaders. She was seeing red. She could here footsteps above her, and that's where she was headed.
James ducked under the slash and threw his shotgun to the ground, pulling out his stun knife he pressed a button on the grip, electricity began to flow through it. As he did he positioned himself around the back of the woman, he could tell she had no intention of really hurting him, but because she was holding back James had an easier time, he slammed the back of the blade into the back of her head, the electricity jumped into her knocking her out. As her body fell James caught her and threw her onto his shoulder, he began walking back towards his exit.
Pulling out the C4 detonator he was ready to escape , all of a sudden one of the robots de-cloaked next to him and back handed him across the room, sending his detonator towards the other side with Neena. James himself was in a daze against the wall "Surrender now" he heard from the monster, James quickly shook himself back to reality and reached for the shotgun, then remembered he left it down the hall. He pulled out his SOCOM and stood up, the pain in his chest was horrible, he was sure he had a few broken ribs. Reguardless he tried to run towards the hall, firing his pistol at the beast. The stalker hit him again, sending him into the wall. James let out a hard cough, sending blood onto his chest. The machine began to walk towards him, James raised his pistol and slowly fired round after round at hit, each bullet bouncing off the armor without doing any real damage. He heard the familiar click of the gun running empty, "Surrender now, resistance is futile, mutant." it said approaching him. James noticed the C4 on the wall, and the stalker slowly walking by it. Pulling out his stun knife he activated the electricity "Not mutant, Kiljoy." he said throwing the knife, it whizzed by the stalker, nailing the C4, A fiery explosion rocked the entire house, sending the stalker across the room, it struggled to regain itself as James quickly stood up and sprinted towards Neena. His adrenaline was shooting now and he couldn't feel the intense pain. He grabbed neena with one arm and ran through the gaping hole in the wall, he could see his Jeep in the distance.
As he ran towards hit he could hear the Stalker regaining itself, and he could see a single soldier at the Jeep. James took out his survival knife and threw it into the man's neck, dropping him next to the jeep. James popped the roof off the Jeep and threw neena in the back. Jumping into the drivers seat he saw the Stalker quickly gaining ground. James started the engine as he noticed the stalker dive towards him, he grabbed the Jeep's driver side door and lifted it off the hinges, using it as a shield he raised it towards the stalker, the stalked slammed it's arm right into the middle of the door, bedning it inwards and breaking Jame's arm. James slammed his foot onto the gas and peeled away, leaving the door behind. the stalker tried to keep up, but James threw his final chaff grenade out, confusing the sensors long enough for them to escape.
Private Frost was from one of several teams around the mansion that were working for Hunter. They had orders to ring the place, remain unseen from NYPD forces and the Stalkers and help any who made it out of the mansion. Frost saw a pair crossing the grounds now.
One, a male, approximately six foot two and wearing military grade gear was sprinting across the grounds carrying a female in one hand. While the appearance was that of a soldier, thus a member of the attacking force, he was being pursued by a robot, indicating that he was a mansion resident.
Frost watched as he dispatched of a SWAT trooper who was guarding his van and tossed the woman inside. As he mounted the vehicle the robot reached him and he was forced to defend himself. Frost used the brief distraction to pull out a specialised weapon and fire at the jeep. A small tracking device attached itself to the vehicle as the man sped off, having sustained multiple injuries.
Back at Mondragon labs another team boarded a helicopter and it took to the air. The man had not been identified, but by his actions and apparel was assumed to be a bounty hunter taking the opportunity to capture mutants in the confusion of the raid. Their orders were to identify the individual, free the mutant he had captured and bring her to Mondragon labs.
Naomi had found herslef in a bead place now. She watched as shield was taken down by the man with the electric knight-stick, and in the distance, the floating stalker had dug it's claws into the walls and was turing around to propell itself at her again.
She did the only thing she could think of. Run like hell.
Naomi turned tail, her legs carrying her down the hallway as fast as they could, she could hear the man coming behind her, yelling at her to stop. She was too slow, and befor she had gotten farther than twenty feet, she felt something smack against her legs. The muscled in hier leg instantly tightened and spazed, and her nerves screamed with pain. She was left falling through the air, and slamming against the ground as the stalker flew over and past her.
As she tumbled to the floor in a heap, she was just able to see the robot shift in mid-air, take aim, and fire a single well placed shot at her with a traq. The syringe landed in her neck, and her vision instantly faded. The last thing she thought of befor she passed out was her little brother. Then everything went dark.
