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.

He smiles "I just have a room there. I actualey don't have a clue what to do whit my life ... I just know i need money to get a place of my own later but don't know how to get it. So for now im happy i can stay there."
He pulled his hand back after he touched her and saw her watch him as if he could every moment lose controle over his powers or do some strange things. But this time nothing happens. He just smiled and watched her as he put his hand back in his pocket.
"Nope they don't work here ... A dream is just a dream afterall ... It doesn't afects reality all that much and the best thing to knowing your in one is that you can do whatever you want" he watchess the gloves disapear and holds out his hand shaking hers.
Sveta smiled at the dreamwalker as she shook his hand. It was a simple gesture, and still she suddenly felt happy about it. There was no pull on her powers, no strange things happening, and no gloves to keep her skin from touching his. She held his hand for a few moments before she pulled hers back, realizing it might get awkward. Her cheeks turned pink, but she was still smiling.
"Well, I don't know what career you have been looking for, but I bet many people would be willing to pay you for simply using your powers. I mean..." she looked around "This is nice. And kind of wonderful too, being awake in a dream. You could do so many things with powers like this..."
Around them, the snow stopped falling, but the winter scene still remained.
"Can you change others' dreams too?"
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He smiles "You realy think so ? I didn't realy taught so much about it but i don't know how to bring that to people ... " He shrugs before looking up from her question.
"Ofcourse i can change dreams, thats what my ability does actualey ... Hijacking somebody elses dream and putting it under my controle from the moment i enter here ... "
It was strange, talking about business in a dream - a business about dreams - but the idea really had a ring to it. Dream watever you wish for. It felt like some kind of a virtual reality. A world everyone could enter and shape. It was one of those mutations people would come to like. And probably overuse.
"Want to show me how it works?"
Not this was not business at all. It was just curiosity. And fun.
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He sighs amuse but nods "Ok i guesse a little demonstration is in place here ... Well lets try it this way then hmm . You request something and ill shape it to your liking. That can work best then to pull of something completly random. So go ahead and don't worry about it being onrealistic of impossible ... In this world , your imagination is your limit" He claps his hands together and the snow completley stops leaving them on a snow covered field whit nothing else to see in a large radiouse around. A raw dream that would soon be shaped in something unique.
Sveta looked around - now everything looked like a blank sheet of paper. Ready for something to be written on it, for something to be created out of her own mind and imagination, and the powers of the young dreamwalker.
Imagine anything you want.
And suddenly she felt like her mind was as blank as the white scene around them. When someone is suddenly confronted with the possibility of creating anything, anything at all, even the wildest or most unreal things - it is hard to come up with something really original. Sveta wrinked her nose, and thought about it for long moments. It all felt like a fairy tale. Some kind of wild legend full of magic and supernatural beings and strange colors... It seemed like ages ago when she still listened to fairy tales.
"I want a castle" she smiled "A castle that flies."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He smiles as she thinks and sudenley asks for a castle that flies "Easy ... I hope your not afraid of hights ... Oh and it might get a bit wobbely so excuse me." He smirks as he just looks down at the ground. Even tough it seems he was just into deep taughts he was actualey accessing his powers. He was forcing the dream to become his so he could shape it as he likes. It onley lasted a minute or two before it started. The ground around him started to ripple as if it was a pond where somebody threw a rock in and seemley lost his solid texture. Then you could here a deep rumble comming out of the eart. Sudenley rising up from underneath us as if it was comming up from underwater came your castle. He let the girls subconsiousness guide him in the creation so that it was just the one she wanted. As the castle rose up Sveta and he where lifted up as they where standing on the great wall that surounded this construction. Whit a little rumble it stopped as the complete thing stood there "Hmm there we go ... And for the finishing touch ... up we go." Raising his hands in a rather unnesecary lifting motion a loud ripping noise was heard as the castle allong whit a large chunck of land around it got literarley ripped out of the ground and started to flew up in the air. Soon It was hovering allong the clouds drifting around as if it was one itself.
Sveta watched in awe as the scene started to change, and a castle was born from the ground. The dreamwalked had style, she had to give him that. Then again, he must have done stuff like this hundreds of time. It beat the best computer animations she's ever seen. This was the real thing.
As they were lifted up from the ground together with the castle that looked like something out of the children's books she used to read, she couldn't help but clap her hands together. It sounded strangely loud, echoing across the dream world. Sveta smiled.
"Wow." she breathed, holding on to the edge of the wall as the castle few with them "... wow. This is amazing."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He smiled as she aplauded and bowed as if he was a performer who just did a incredible trick. Well it was a trick alright but for him it was just a breeze. "Thank you realy its nothing ... and do you like it ? Your own floating dream kingdom ready to be shaped as you pleased ... " He smiles as they flew trough a cloud giving the whole thing a rather mysteriouse look. "Im sure from this can be made something nice"
"Yes. Yes, I like it very much." she smiled, leaning over the wall to look at the ground far, far below the flying castle. It looked much farthen than it would look from an airplane or a hot air balloon. Flying castles are special like that.
>>"Im sure from this can be made something nice"
Sveta looked around, reaching out to dip her hand in the cloud. The white mist erupted in colorful butterflies. Sveta blinked, and pulled her lips into a pout.
"Would you believe that. When did my subconscious get so cheesy?..." she chuckled "I am sorry, I'll try to do something cooler next time."
Leaning against the castle wall, she admired the scenery.
"You know, I still think you could make a business out of this alone. You would be filthy rich within a week."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He laughed watching the butterflys and shrugged "Yeah maybe it is ... Its atleast something to give a taught about" He looked at the clump of land where the castle was floating on and smiled. From all over the ground things started to sprout out of the ground quickley growing in a whole mini forest of strange shaped and coloured tree's , flowers and bushes.
Sveta watched the trees grow and the vines climb the castle walls.
"Oh no, don't you even think about making me sleep for a hundred years. No sir." she grinned, punching him on the shoulder playfully "Although I have to admit, Sleeping Beauty might have liked her sleep better like this..."
She reached out to pick a fruit from a branch.
"Brian, you are the next generation of entertaining."
He laughed as he watched the result and her playfully hit his shoulder. "Oh i wouldn't dare. Dreaming is great and all but its just the insiration we need to go on whit our real life.
He watched as she tries to pluck one of the strange fruits that grew from the tree's. A small guesture from his side made the branch bend over to her so she could easely take it. "Those are actialey a small experiment of me. Since you are dreaming you can't get hungry but that doesn't means you can't enjoy flavour in here. So if you take a bite from that ... You should be able to get the taste of the food that you like the most. Making it look like fruit doesn't means that you have to let it taste like them "He smiles tilting his head as he watched her.
>>"Dreaming is great and all but its just the insiration we need to go on whit our real life."
Sveta nodded. He was telling the truth, and she understood what he was saying; however great the dreamworld felt like, she would have to wake up sooner or later, and return to her real life, with the gloves and her powers. Not like she had some terrible life or anything, and it definitely got better after she moved in with the Csendes'. But who would really want to wake up from a pleasant dream?
"I don't usually feel tastes in dreams" she mused, taking a small bite from the fruit. She blinked, and held it up in front of her eyes. "Now fruit is not supposed to taste like tea." she wrinkled her nose, then giggled "I'll try again." she did "Much better."
Blue eyes looked up at the dreamwalker.
"So this is what you do? Walk around in dreams?... What do you do when you are awake?... Are you awake at all?"
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He chuckles "Yes normaley people don't taste or feel things in dreams. Thats a side effect my powers give to dreams. They become more real." He chuckled as she mentioned how the fruit tasted.
He chuckled how he was overday. "Oh yeah ofcourse i wake up ... im just like everybody else in that way ... onley overday im more sleepy. Most of my energy goes to dreaming since my powers awakend. And what i do when im awake ... well basicley im exploring new york bit by bit while thinking how to start up a decent life here ... if i don't sudenley crash and fall asleep that tends to happen ..."
