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.

Agnes beamed. She was glad that Sveta agreed. She was more than happy to help her blonde friend work out more if she wanted to but Agnes was beginning to feel just a tad exhausted. That last round when her powers nearly went nuts, she was sure that she was going to lose it. But thankfully Sveta seemed to want a break as well. It could not have been easy for her, to touch her best friend and watch her nearly lose control of her powers like that.
But Sveta was a strong woman. Agnes knew this, Sveta knew this, otherwise they would not have continued at the speed that they did. Still though, Agnes respected the girl for wanting to push on.
>> "So. We raid the kitchen for sweets and drinks, yes? I think we deserve girl time. And chocolate."
Agnes chuckled.
“We definitely need chocolate,” she laughed.
She wanted to hug Sveta, both as a congratulations and in sympathy for her difficult powers, but she knew that it was impossible. Sveta may have had a degree of control over her powers now, but she knew that it was still going to be difficult for her. So, instead she just smiled at her a warm and comforting smile.
“Come on, kitchen should be pretty much empty. Gawd, I hope there are not insects running around from the last couple times,” she said with a small bit of concern. The last few times that Sveta touched her, Agnes could feel all the insects clawing and skittering around the outside of the Danger Room. Thankfully none broke in. But she hoped that didn’t mean they were running rampant throughout the mansion as well. They would have to wait and see…
They definitely did. Sveta chuckled as she followed her.
>>“Come on, kitchen should be pretty much empty. Gawd, I hope there are not insects running around from the last couple times,”
They were not. Well, actually, there was the odd fly or two buzzing to find a way out, but most of them have already skittered for cover when the boost ended. They made their way to the kitchen and located food, drinks, and most of all, chocolate. Sveta opened a candy bar and made happy noises as she bit into it.
"Dis is the stuff." she chuckled at Agnes "When I get pregnant, I'm gonna be eating dis all the time. And no on can tell me no."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Agnes was pleased when she left the Danger Room along with Sveta and did not see a single bug fluttering around. Well, there was like two flies, but they buzzed around lazily and did not seem to mind Agnes at all. As they lazily flew away, Agnes took a calming breath. The mansion would not be overrun by insects. Maybe she had just misjudged how many were actually calling out to her. Maybe it was the effect of Sveta’s touch that did it.
But as much as she wanted to think about it, Agnes ignored those feelings. She would not dwell on them now. After working out with Sveta, all she wanted was chocolate and rest. Not to think about powers anymore.
The rest of the way through the mansion and to the kitchen seemed just as uneventful. Not a single bug seemed to be in sight. It looked as if the mansion were completely normal. Thank goodness they did not walk into a living plague or anything.
Once in the kitchen, her stomach grumbled, loud. She was definitely in the mood for food. Not real food, mind you, junk food that didn’t have any nutritional value. The idea of something sugary just sent a shiver down her spine. It definitely sounded like the best thing at the moment.
As Sveta retrieved her candy bar, Agnes pulled an ice cream sandwich from the freezer, unwrapped it and proceeded to take a bit. The second that cold chocolate and vanilla hit her tongue, Agnes sighed in relief. She relished the taste of and smirk a little when she looked up to see Sveta doing the same with her candy bar.
So not the after workout picture that she had imagined.
>> "Dis is the stuff…When I get pregnant, I'm gonna be eating dis all the time. And no on can tell me no."
Agnes smirked.
“Well, I doubt that…Jude…would deny you anything,” she said in a joking manner. Would Jude be the father of Sveta’s children? Agnes didn’t know. But it was fun to tease Sveta about. Who knows, maybe her friend really did care about Jude that much. If so or not, she would find out with her reaction…
>>“Well, I doubt that…Jude…would deny you anything,”
Sveta smirked and sat down, facing Agnes. This sounded weird. She knew Agnes was just teasing her, as any friend would, about a guy she just met and was not even sure if she was dating him yet. But she knew things that people don't usually know for certain, and she really needed to tell someone about them. Someone else than Jude.
"Okay, here is de thing" she said, taking another bite of the chocolate "Dis is going to sound crazy. But. Jude can see people's future... well, he can't, but he copied someone else who can. And he looked into my future, because he was looking for someone... long story, but. In the future, we had children."
It did sound whacky.
"... I am going to have twins. With Jude."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Agnes had settled in across from Sveta. The ice cream sandwich hanging daintily in her hand as she carefully took a bite, trying to not gorge herself on the treat. But she and Sveta had worked out fairly hard. Maybe it was not the typical workout, especially since they focused on controlling their powers, but Agnes was feeling just as drained. Having her powers boosted so many times definitely left her feeling exhausted.
But the ice cream and her time relaxing with Sveta really seemed to help. Besides it really looked like her friend had something to say. She was shy looking, almost as if she were onto something that Agnes could only guess at. Odd, she was only joking about the pregnancy thing…
>> "Okay, here is de thing…Dis is going to sound crazy. But. Jude can see people's future... well, he can't, but he copied someone else who can. And he looked into my future, because he was looking for someone... long story, but. In the future, we had children."
Agnes blinked. Pregnant? Sveta? AND with Jude? She was totally at a loss at what to say. Normally Agnes did not go for that all “seeing the future” thing because she never imagined the future as something be set in stone. But Sveta, she looked so sure of it. Like she was both excited and scared of the possibilities. Agnes could only grin, wide, as Sveta explained further.
>> "... I am going to have twins. With Jude."
“Twins? Oh…my god…Sveta,” Agnes grinned. “I mean…wow…I…I don’t even know what to say. That’s so exciting!”
>>“Twins? Oh…my god…Sveta, I mean…wow…I…I don’t even know what to say. That’s so exciting!”
Sveta couldn't help but laugh at Agnes' reaction. She looked as excited as if she had said she was already pregnant. Which. She was. Not. But it felt good to know she would have her friend's support, no matter what.
"It is kind of scary" she admitted "I mean, it is weird to know it like that. We just started dating, and... it's like a spoiler. And I was not thinking about having children yet. But..." she sighed "It's complicated. But at least I know I can trust Jude."
She really did.
"So, your turn." she smiled at her friend, taking another bite of the chocolate bar.
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
>> "It is kind of scary…I mean, it is weird to know it like that. We just started dating, and... it's like a spoiler. And I was not thinking about having children yet. But...It's complicated. But at least I know I can trust Jude.”
She smiled. That was definitely a good thing to hear, that she trusted whoever this young man, Judge, was. Trust, in Agnes opinion, was a definite when it came to any relationships. Unfortunately she had to learn that the hard way. Her parents betrayed her trust, Rhythm betrayed her trust, so there was little wonder why Agnes felt a little suspicious towards people. Jasmine was helping her with that, though so Agnes was beginning to gain trust in people on deeper levels now.
So long as Sveta trusted Jude, then Agnes would trust him. But…she would keep a wary eye on him, just in case.
Again, the idea of Sveta being pregnant, of having twin children made her beam happily for her friend.
“Well, it may not have happened yet, but at least you’re right, you got a good sneak peek.” she said with a nod as she took another bite of her sandwich. “I do hope I get to meet him eventually though,” she said with a grin.
>> "So, your turn."
She sighed happily as she just shrugged her shoulders.
“Nothing much to report,” she said honestly. “Jasmine and I are doing great. She’s been busy at school though but I get to see her most weekends,” she said with a smile. “She looking into colleges and helping me try to figure some out. We may try to get accepted to the same one!”
>>“Well, it may not have happened yet, but at least you’re right, you got a good sneak peek. I do hope I get to meet him eventually though,”
Sveta nodded. "You will."
Introducing boyfriend to friends. That was a next step in wherever this was going. She was sure Jude would like Agnes; she was also almost sure Agnes would like Jude...
>>“Nothing much to report. Jasmine and I are doing great. She’s been busy at school though but I get to see her most weekends. She looking into colleges and helping me try to figure some out. We may try to get accepted to the same one!”
Sveta beamed. "Nice!" it was good to see Agnes happy, and dating someone who was a good influence. She deserved to be happy. "So what college are you thinking?..."
This Jasmine sounded like a nice person.
"And when do I get to meet her?"
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
>> "Nice! So what college are you thinking?...And when do I get to meet her?"
She beamed. Jasmine and she had actually talked pretty extensively about this sort of thing. Many times before the pair of them found themselves lounging in Agnes’ room while Gina was away, looking over colleges, trying to pick out the best choices for each other. Jasmine was extremely interest in horticulture while Agnes had an interest in plain old botany and music. Both were viable options for her and she was more than certain that Xavier’s had a variety of information about scholarships and financial aid.
Heh, if anyone needed it, it was going to be Agnes.
“Oh we were thinking of NYU. They have an excellent music program and their sciences program would go well for Jasmine,” she replied. Then she gave a slight blush and shrug. “Jasmine said I should apply to Julliard but…I-I dunno. I don’t really think I’m THAT good. Besides, first years have to live on campus before they’re allowed to live off campus.”
While such a prospect as living away from home seemed like fun, Agnes was conflicted. Not only did she not want to separate herself from Gina and all her new found family here at the mansion, but she was not sure about her powers. She knew that her abilities were getting more and more under her control, but she was unsure how staff and students would deal if her powers suddenly became known. The last thing she needed was for a school like that to be against her.
Another small smile crossed her lips as she looked at Sveta. She really did want her and Jasmine to meet.
“I’m sure we could set something up. Maybe we can all have lunch or something? She likes meeting my friends and I’d love to hang out with the both of you,” she said beaming. Agnes was definitely a happy camper.
>>“Oh we were thinking of NYU. They have an excellent music program and their sciences program would go well for Jasmine. Jasmine said I should apply to Julliard but…I-I dunno. I don’t really think I’m THAT good. Besides, first years have to live on campus before they’re allowed to live off campus.”
Sveta smiled as she listened. College plans. Where did she skip that part?... Also, she could see why Agnes would be reluctant to live on a college campus.
"You could still try." she suggested "You don't lose anything with trying. And maybe you could talk to them to have special... rights. For not living on campus."
It was a world of possibilities.
>>“I’m sure we could set something up. Maybe we can all have lunch or something? She likes meeting my friends and I’d love to hang out with the both of you,”
"That sounds good!" she beamed "We could set that up. I think it would be fun."
Four friends, going out together. People needed normal days like that.
