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.

Sveta smiled as she finished off the fruit; every bite came with a different taste, and at the end, she felt like she had eaten a whole meal. She wondered if she would be hungry when she woke up. Wiping her mouth, she listened to Brian explaining his sleeping schedule.
"Good thing you can't be addicted to your own powers..." she nodded "I can see people wanting to spent their whole life in a dream." she sighed. Some dreams were really hard to let go of.
"Do you have a way of telling the time here?" she asked him curiously "I mean, it might be morning already... not like I want to leave or anything." she added in a hurry with a small blush.
That didn't come out right.
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He smiles "Yeah i can ... subconciousley everybody tries to keep up track from time so the time should be ... This" He pointed at one of the castle towers that had changed into a clock tower displaying the time "Its not acturate but it gives me a rough idea tough."
He smiles "Yeah ... dreams are nice but that would onley be fleeing from reality ... from dreams of others i have seen a lot already ... hope, violence , death , joy , sorrow ... all things that you find in your reel life. Thats why you see that even in most dreams reel life is the thing people can't let go of even tough every now and then a brake like this is fine" He sits down on the edge of the castle wall.
Sveta looked up at the clock tower and smiled. "Good enough" it was almost morning, out in the real world, but she didn't really have anything to do, so she might as well sleep in.
"More than fine, actually" she smiled "I was just about to get bored out of my mind. You know, it's not easy, with my power, to go out and be among people. You can never know who might be a mutant. Besides, some of them culd actually want to get in contact with me..." she sighed "Anyway. This dream really came in just the right moment for me."
Sveta smiled up at the dreamwalker.
"Thank you."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He smiles looking up seeing that she indeed was happy he came allong. She must realy be getting bored wherever she was. In a strange replica of time since the morning started to come in the real world, the sun started to set here as he looked at her "I could guesse some people want a power boost ... so that their power fits more to the size of their ego's." He laughs before looking back smiling "Your welcome ... Im always glad if my dreams cheer people up."
>>"I could guesse some people want a power boost ... so that their power fits more to the size of their ego's."
Sveta grinned. "You have a point there." It reminded her of something. The sunset painted the sky pink and red, and other pretty colors. It didn't feel like morning at all, and still, she knew that somewhere it was.
"A short time ago some mutants stole blood from me." she frowned "They are planning on doing something with it for the 'good of mutantkind'" she said, making air quotes with her fingers and rolling her eyes. "So be careful. I don't want people to get hurt because of my gift."
She was silent for a while, and stars started to appear on the dream sky, and on the ground below.
"Well... I wouldn't suggest to meet you in person" she smirked, continuint hat train of thought "But... if you want to meet me again, you are always welcome here. Just... knock first." she added with a grin
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He blinked "What ? people stole your blood ... Thats insane ?" He looked at her and realised that it is true that people indeed where after her powers desperitley. "For the good of mutant kind ... strange that reminds me of somebody in who's dream i have been ... strange girl always kept rambeling about that too. But ill be carefull i promise ... Not that i am such a brave guy in the outside world anyways. Thank god i can also put people to sleep if they get close to me ... gives me time to run." He laughs as he watches over that dream world whit all those stars shining around. "And thats a nice offer ... Seeing how hard you find it to go out whit your powers i think i can jump in now and then if you would like so."
>>"But ill be carefull i promise ... Not that i am such a brave guy in the outside world anyways. Thank god i can also put people to sleep if they get close to me ... gives me time to run."
Sveta chuckled again. "That's one more reason why we shouldn't meet in person. One handshake and you would go Sleeping Beauty on the whole city."
She leaned against the castle wall, looking at the stars.
"I usually do the same too. But I think it's about time I learned to defeny myself instead of other people watching our for me..."
Because I don't have many of those
>>"Seeing how hard you find it to go out whit your powers i think i can jump in now and then if you would like so."
She turned to look at him again and smiled.
"That would be great." she nodded, standing on her tiptoes and giving him a kiss on the cheek. Something she couldn't have done out in the real world. After a few moments she looked up at him again, and cleared her throat.
"Um... so, how do I wake up?"
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He laughed and nodded "Yeah i guesse its handy to know how to defend yourself. But for now im happy whit avoiding conflict like that as much as i can. But avoiding everything is imposible sadley."
It seemed that she realy apreciated him being there as she sudenley kissed him on the cheeck when he turned to her catching him by surprise actualey and go quite aswell for a while until she asked how she would wake up.
"Thats easy ... that happens automaticaly. When you have slept eneugh you will slowley slowley fade out here and go back to your real life. Or you could sudden wake up by a alarm then you just snap out of it. Or i could always brake up your dream and then you are forced to wake up. But thats a rather rough wake up call."
Brian didn't seem to mind the kiss. Guys usually didn't, at least they didn't back then when she was still human, and there was no risk of putting people into a coma with one kiss. Sveta smiled to herself. After the teenage years she spent partying and goig out with guys, it was strange to realize she felt awkward with kissing one on the cheek. People change.
"I see" she nodded as she settled down to wait for her physical self to wake up. The castle floated over the dream landscape, and she wondered if it was the creation of her own subconscious, or the imagination of the dreamwalker. Probably both.
After a few minutes, Sveta looked down on her hands, and realized she was starting to fade. It looked strange, but not frightening.
"I guess it's time to wake up" she smiled, looking up at him "See you around, Brian."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He smiles as they watched over the dream they created together as time slowley drifted bye. From the corner of his eye he noticed her slowley started to fade as she got pulled out of the dream. "Yeah it seems that your dreaming time is up for today... I guesse ill go aswell." He pushed himself of the castle wall and disapeared in a flash. The onley thing left behind was a small glowing orb of light that came flying up to her. "This is how i look as i first enter dreams ... A basic form and not realy intimidating when i travel around." The glowing sphere zipped around her like a hyper active boosted firefly. "So ... Ill look forward to my next visite. Bye Sveta." It flew up and fast and soon disapeared into the star filled heaven making one light up lightley as the dreamer returned to the world of the real life too.
Sveta followed the orb of light with her eyes; it wasn't any more strange than the rest of the dream. He kind of looked like a firefly boosted by her powers...
"Bye." she waved, and then faded away, leaving the castle in the land of dreams.
Sveta woke up a few minutes later, rolling onto her back and rubbing her eyes. She looked up at the ceiling.
Was it a dream? Was it real? Will it happen again? ... Does it matter?
The blonde girl smiled, and stretched, arching her back like a cat. It didn't matter. What a strange dream...
