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.

A light, clear laugh escaped the wolf girls lips, a genuinely happy laugh filling the air. She knew that Maya was protective of her and she was glad for that. Though, she still wanted some food, she was starving for some solid food like a hamburger. God was she hungry for a hamburger, Shift wouldn't give her any big meals after the treatment because she was afraid Emerald wouldn't be able to hold them down. Unfortunately, the wolf girl needed to eat big meals in order to keep her strength up so small meals wouldn't cut it. It was good Bloodfang didn't try to attack her while she was recovering then she would have been in real trouble.
Upon being lead to her bedroom, Emerald instinctively looked around for her younger sibling who had shared a room with her ever since she had arrived at the mansion. It wasn't that Emerald didn't want to have a roommate, it was just she felt it was best if Ruby was with her as opposed to someone she didn't know, just in case if any of the young girls nightmares arose or if Ruby got sick. It was a family thing.
The Lupins Bedroom, showed the two distinctive personalities of the two younger Lupins. Emerald's side of the room had mainly darker colors, mainly green and blue. The wolf girls side of the room was also far less organized than her younger sisters, various clothes hanging from a CD rack and a book shelf which the two shared, 3 shelves to each girl, both labeled accordingly.
Ruby's shelves containing robotics Manuel's and fairy tales along with various other books while Emerald's shelves contained mystery novels, a book on Greek myths, a book on the seven deadly sins, biography's on various surfers, several folders filled with papers as well as other miscellaneous books. Emerald's side of the room also had a surfboard occupying a free corner while Ruby's had a pair of in line skates and a skateboard.
"Its cool, I probably would have broken his arm if he came near me anyways so good call." Emerald grinned a little making her way over to the dresser to pull out some new clothes. She smirked a little and threw some clothes to Mirror, They looked to be boys clothes, clothes that a guy would wear if he was hiking in the woods, a plaid button up t shirt and a pair of pants with various pouches and pockets in it. "You can have these if ya want, I stole them a few months ago when I turned into my werewolf form and I don't really need them anymore. They are a hell of alot dryer than your clothes. Though I will say this, boys clothes, waaaay more comfortable when your body just got done reconstructing itself after you grew into a 10 foot tall werewolf." Emerald grinned a little, growling a bit to prove her point.
Emerald disappeared into her bathroom after digging through her drawers for five minutes, finding a pair of green sweatpants and a light green t shirt. On the dresser however, Emerald had left the same clothes she had been wearing when Mirror saw her snuggling with Ilari, apparently she hadn't given them back yet. Once she emerged, Emerald sat down on her bed next to her stuffed Squeaky moose, glancing at Ruby's bed casually.
"Hmmm I'm surprised Ruby's not back from the shed yet, she usually gets done with tinkering with the robots by now." The wolf girl observed, slightly worried look making its way on her face. Emerald's protectiveness of her younger sibling was apparent.
>>"Though I will say this, boys clothes, waaaay more comfortable when your body just got done reconstructing itself after you grew into a 10 foot tall werewolf."
"I hear ya sister" Maya grinned, starting to change into the boy clothes "Happens to me a lot too." Not the 10 foot werewolf, of course. The 'guy clothes more comfortable' part, on the other hand... well, Maya could relate. One can't go wrong with the guy clothes. Quite the opposite. There were only a few things more annoying than Gawain waking up in Maya's outfit... Maya changed while Emmy was in the bathroom, and didn't fail to notice the other set of clothing that looked familiar.
"Gotta agree, much more comfortable" she grinned when the wolf girl returned, nodding towards the snuggle-in-bed guy's clothes. She arched an eyebrow at Emerald "Ya collectin' them?"
Emerald's worries were broken when Maya pointed her attention over to the males clothes that were on the dresser, causing the wolf girl to stiffen a little. A small blush made its way on the young wolf girls cheeks, making her for once look like a normal teenage as opposed to a battle harden veteran. Her tail started to wag back and forth rapidly as she thought back to that night where she was so content laying in Ilari's arms. It had been a long time since she had been held like that and even though he was drugged up to all hell, it still had to have meant something that he was the one that started it.
" Nah, I'm not collecting them, I just haven't had the chance to return it to their owners yet!" Emerald explained, clearly nervous about something. While Emerald was good at lying and hiding most things, when it came to guy issues and things having to do with love, Emmy was never exactly a trickster. Her tail continued to wag and the pink that tinged her cheeks was apparent.
>>"Nah, I'm not collecting them, I just haven't had the chance to return it to their owners yet!"
Maya grinned at the wolf girl, they finally found a topic to lighten the mood, even if it had the potential to turn awkward if she wasn't careful enough. Still, Emerald looked like a teengare girl for once. A rare occassion. She remembered the guy, and how peaceful the wolf looked when she'd seen them. So far Emmy didn't turn into a 10 foot beast at the mention of said person, so there was a chance something did (or would) work out well for her this time. Hopefully. She really deserved it.
"Awww is that a blush I see?" she chuckled, watching the wagging tail and the shy expression. Walking over to sit next to the wolf, Maya got comfortable and put on her best 'story time' face.
The blush on the wolf girls face stayed as her friend sat down on the bed next to her . Emerald knew this was gonna come up, she knew somehow, some way this was going to come up. She didnt know how, but she knew it was going to. The wolf girl's tail was still wagging shlyly and her posture changed to a posture a young teenage girl would have if she was found kissing a boy against her parents permission.
"Well I met this guy named Ilari, He was robbing a Jewelry store, I was gonna beat him up but he sorta convinced me not to. We talked for a while and went out together a few times, just talking about stuff, " Emerald shrugged her shoulders a little. She seemed pretty calm about it, acting as if it was no big deal at all, a typical Lupin tatic. "Then one night, He got his ribs broken while Protecting Twyla, who you really need to get a gun, or a taser, or something." Emerald told mirror in all seriousness.
Her tail started wagging faster as she clearly remembered something far happier. "I saw him and got worried cause hes my friend ya know and I went back to his apartment, fixing his scrawny ass up. Problem was there wasa helluva bad storm that night so I knew I couldnt leave and he was all drugged up on pain pills so i didnt want him to kill himself so I spent the night."
It took Emerald several seconds before her brain processesed the conotations of spending the night, When Her brain finally caught up with her mouth, considering her brain was currently in la la land from the memory of being snuggled up to her dear buddy, the blush on her cheeks darkened to a deep red. Her tail began to move back and forth quickly in wide archs, clearly showing the wolf girls mindset. "BUT WE DIDNT HAVE SEX I SWEAR!" Emerald barked, her face nearly matching her hair in color.
>>"Then one night, He got his ribs broken while Protecting Twyla, who you really need to get a gun, or a taser, or something."
Maya's jaw dropped in a way that would have been fit for a cartoon character.
"She did... he did WHAT?!"
Snuggle-in-bed guy who was called Ilari was protecting Twyla?! And got his ribs broken?! When? How? Where? And why on earth didn't she know about it?! Maya shook her head like a dog with water in her ears. Emmy kept talking, but she barely paid attention. The main thing on her mind was the fact that Twya got into trouble and she was not there to protect her, so some random guy had to show up and be the hero in shining armor.
Only Gawain had the right to get his ribs broken for that lady.
Maya was starting to realize how Twyla must have felt when she told her about Aura. It. Was. Just. Plain. Wrong.
Noticing how shocked Maya was, Emerald couldn't help but smirk a little bit at the Mirror mancer. It seemed that Mirror was absolutely smitten with the camouflager lass, making Emerald smile at her friends relationship, it was good Maya could find a somewhat stable relationship with someone like Twyla who was probably one of the nicest people Emerald had ever met. As long as her friends were happy, Emerald was happy...speaking of that fragile happiness.
Mirror lass says what now? the wolf girl though staring at Maya hard. Her mouth dropped open, not nearly as comically as mirrors but close. Her friend was spying on her? While she was in a room with a dude...what the hell was she doing spying on her in the first place?! "What the hell were you doing looking in on me?" Emerald growled, sounding awfully wolf like, Emerald then took a deep breath, trying not to sound to angry. "I mean were ya checking up on me or what?"
>>"What the hell were you doing looking in on me? I mean were ya checking up on me or what?"
Maya blinked, and gulped, not liking the sound of the growl. Now that she was focusing on the topic of Emmy and Ilari instead of Twyla, it did sound a bit on the stalker side, she had to admit that. Stalking a werewolf. What kind of a masochistic idiot would do that?...
"Naaah, Ems, I wasn't." she shook her head "I was jus' out wanderin', y'know, one of my usual... patrols." she bit the end of the sentence, you can't pull the missing mother card every time you run into trouble, even if it's generally true.
"Anyhow, I just happened to walk across a mirror, an' see you snugglin' with whatshisname." she smirked "I wasn't spyin' I swear, just stopped long enough to make sure ya were safe. Promise." she added, holding up her hands. Moments later, she was grinning again.
"Thanks, Its nice to have someone looking out for me for once you know?" Emerald replied with a small grin.
At least Emerald knew that Mirror wasn't spying on her, that made her life a whole less hectic. She already had her older sister occasionally spying on her and Ruby eavsdropping on her conversations, the last thing she needed was another sibling doing the same. Emerald didn't mind the protectiveness from her younger friend though, at least it made her known that she was loved enough to be protected.
"As for how he is, " Emerald paused, trying to find a way to word this without Maya wanting to kill Ilari. Figuring there was no way around it she said. "Well, hes really nice and sweet, but he sorta freaked out when he woke up and jumped off me like I was the plague or something. Guess he was embarrassed about the painkiller induced cuddling or maybe it was just me. I didn't like the glowstick that much anyways. " Emerald sighed, laying back onto the bed, her tail dully thumping on the blankets. It was clear she liked Ilari, that much was certain but the older male didn't seem to want to get close to anyone, which was something Emerald could respect, this didn't mean she had to like it though.
>>"Well, hes really nice and sweet, but he sorta freaked out when he woke up and jumped off me like I was the plague or something. Guess he was embarrassed about the painkiller induced cuddling or maybe it was just me. I didn't like the glowstick that much anyways. "
Maya frowned. Some guys could be so dense, when it came to women. Cuddle, or don't cuddle, what's so difficult about that?! She didn't like the fact that this Ilari person managed to hurt Emmy's feelings, she didn't like it one bit. She deserved a lot better.
"Glowstick?" she shook her head with a sigh "Do I even wanna know how he got that name?... Anyway. I'm pretty sure it wasn't your fault, Ems. If he'd freaked out, bad for him, cuz he's missin' out on a lot of good things." she smiled, patting the wolf girl on the shoulder. There was no need to go into details right now. She'll have a talk with that Ilari guy later on.
"So, ya still hungry? I think we could use some food."
