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.

IC: Kitra had moved at a decent pace from the Infirmary to the Dining Hall. She was hungry, very hungry. And even very early in the morning they always had something to eat. Kitra went straight for the food, which there was no lines and that in itself was awesome. She gathered green grapes, a granny smith apple and some graham crackers. For a drink she got some nice, hot green tea.
Kitra made her way to an empty table and deposited her food stuffs on it and stuffed a few grapes in her mouth while waiting for Abyss. Once Abyss joined her she rapid fired a few questions out. "Is the Kabal still around, if so whos leading it? If not what happened? Who's in charge of Sanctuary? And what has happened in the past 3 and half years since I've been away?" Kitra stopped and took a few breaths and looked slightly red, "Sorry, I feel rather out of the loop." She popped a few more grapes in her mouth and started cutting her apple while waiting for Abyss's answers.
Abyss followed Kitra and didn’t bother making conversation, Girl was on a mission. He continued to stalk her until she made it to the cafeteria and made a b line for the fruit, He just wasn’t in a fruit mood today, He looked to a trio of sandwiches and stacked them into a tripe Decker. The Sanctuary resident looked at him and simply shook his head with a smile on his face. At least it was just one of them right now.
The order and the Kabal are one now. Though if you had questions for someone I would guess that Lenna would be the one to go to about it. As far as what happened, Slate happened, Columbia happened. I wasn’t a part of the Kabal so I don’t know fact from rumor as far as that goes.
He shook his head and grinned.” Who’s in charge of the sanctuary, No one to the best of my knowledge, this place is crazy. Now the Order, Charge is running the show.” Abyss’ hand went to the back of his head and scratched a moment. “ too much to tell I think, is there anything in particular that you need to know?”
“I understand, I’ve been out of the loop at times too, but more than worrying about the past you have to worry about the now, if you are concerned about where you are going to go, We always have room for you here.” Abyss took a huge bite out of the three sandwiches he was calling one.
Kitra blinked and chowed down on her apple thoughtfully. So, the Kabal was gone, she would have to find Slate at some point and see what he was up to. As for the Order and the Kabal getting sucked into it, well maybe she might try to talk to this Leena person. She swallowed, "I would like that."
Staying at Sanctuary wouldn't be a bad thing, it would prove useful for information and finding allies. Kitra chuckled as Abyss took a bite out of his three in one sandwich. "Well, who's still around in the Order?" Are Isabel and Syn still around? Who's new and all that fun stuff." Her tone turned a bit darker, "Have the humans tried to pass any stupid new laws in the past three years?" Being out of the loop sucked, so information was a good thing. Yes, a very good thing indeed. She munched on a few graham crackers and washed it down with some green tea as she waited patiently for Abyss to answer her many questions.
He swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded. “Good. Though, I will say watch out for my brother if he finds out you are staying, He has been chasing red heads lately…Well You Know how Venus is.”
“Us, though Pluto went awol, Syn Isabel Aura, Charge is busy with running things, Lenna, Zephyr, Aura, Calley is around though where he actually stands is anyone’s guess. Pix, Forte, Aurion, Grim, Roach, Tarin, Kaitlyn, Sledge…I think that’s everybody, I could be missing people. “he shrugged lightly, “there is always potential new blood.
The human’s have learned their lesson I think, and if I get wind of them attempting to pass anything I am going to capitial hill, and tearing it down. They’ve had their warning; the next will be a reckoning. “Where exactly have you been, that you don’t know what’s going on in the U.S.?” He tilted his head to the side as he asked.
And she felt like there was names flying around her head, most of which she didn't know. She blinked a few times while processing all the names Abyss had given her. Only a few sounded familiar. Of course she had to roll her eyes about Calley. Calley was Calley, enough said. She laughed, "Yeah, I will watch out for Venus and sorry about Pluto. And I could definetely see you tearing down Capital hill."
Kitra went silent for a minute or so as she contemplated Abyss's question. "China and Japan actually, in non modern areas though." She paused to take a sip of her green tea, "I was training and searching for Hunter. It ended up being more training then searching as I continued to run into dead ends for half a year. On a completly different topic, what are the x-men up to? Hopefully not sticking their noses in Sanctuary and Order business?." She did sincerly hope that, but she had a suspicion thats how Abyss had gotten hurt.
Abyss sighed lightly at the apology; she wasn’t the one that attacked his own brothers in favor of someone who had attacked his niece. “ You won’t have to imagine, if they attempt that kind of atrocity again. I think Romania sent them a message that our people aren’t to be trifled with, give us a common enemy and it will crumble beneath our feet.”
He nodded, though he was curious why exactly she would care what Hunter was doing. I’m sure he was interesting and all but searching for years. Maybe that was topic he would let her approach if she wanted to. Which the way she changed the subject he assumed she didn’t.
“Nah, the x-men have been chilling though so has the order for the most part, nothing major to scuffle over.”
Kitra nodded and munched quietly on her graham crackers. She had seen a small flicker of curosity on Abyss's face as she had mentioned searching for Hunter and the whole training. Truth be told she still wasn't completly certain why she hadn't come back to New York sooner. "To be honest Abyss, I was searching for Hunter for answers," she frowned as she thought upon the manila folder in her bag. "I actually found a decent amount of those answers as to when I got back to the city." She shook her head, "But no answer as to why."
Kitra figured this wasn't enough of an explanation and continued, "I found out that he had quite a few people killed, and some tortured." Her expression turned even more sour, "I have a good idea of who was possibly tortured but not a definite idea." Her expression turned thoughtful, in all honesty for the torture she had thought of Calley, he had seemed skittish enough around Hunter. Then there was Slate, who had taken over the Kabal with no difficulty it seemed. But he had never been around when Hunter was in the picture, or had he? Kitra shook her head and smiled ruefully at Abyss, "As I said, merely ideas and the other things I learned were confirmed suspicins."
Kitra stretched and looked back at Abyss as she had broken eye contact with her stretching. "Hunter did just about anything to achieve his goals." And she left it at that, curious as to what he would say.
“Hunter was a menace. I say good riddance. I can’t say the city is missing him or that devil spawn of his.” Abyss Chewed his food almost with malice as if the sand which had something to do with the immortal millionaire.
“Did he hurt someone close to you Kit?” He would go look for him if Hunter had hurt someone he loved. But then she just had suspicions. Abyss shifted and took another bite of his sandwiches. He finished chewing and swallowing.
“Well, you are back in the city now , Maybe we can move on past that nasty old blood sucker." Or maybe they could find him togwther and end him once and for all.
Kitra had outright winced when Abyss mentioned his devil spawn. She sputtered a bit on her tea before answering his next question. "That 'devil spawn' he made was actually my boyfriend before he killed him." Kitra sighed, "Well thanks to Doc Jimmy he was brought back to life with the first artificial heart made, so go science."
As for the torturing bit she would probably never ask said person she thought was tortured, would probably be too much flashbacks. Which was never fun. "Nah still just suspicions about the torturing and no I don't think attempting to find him would do us much good. From my few resources he reappeared for a few months while I had already left. He then disappeared after showing a change in heart."
And Kitra noticed idly that she had finished all her food in front of her. She blinked and looked up at Abyss, "Anything fun you want to do?"
Abyss shoved the rest of the sandwhiches in his mouth as Kitra spoke, He chewed as helistend and swallowed with a gulp.
Abyss’s Jaw dropped. “Kitra, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know. I’ve just seen how he acted and rampaged afterwards, I’m sure he was someone much different before.” Otherwise the kid probably would have bled the pretty little red head dry. He draped his arm around her and gave her a squeeze, pet her shoulder. He never meant to be so callous.
“Fun? I could use some fun, Did you have anything in particular in mind?”The concept seemed almost foreign to him; he had spent so long looking for Syn and moping about, that he had almost become lost in a sea of monotony.
Kitra shrugged then smiled at Abyss, she figured Zelek was out there still. No idea as to where, but she was sure she would see him again. And when she did, well, Kitra was quite willing to continue to try make him remember her.
As her determination was settled for that, Abyss had given her a squeezy hug. She patted his arm and stood, "How about a movie? Sanctuary has a rec room right?" Kitra was sure it did. Just wasn't sure as to where. And usually rec rooms had decent televisions, plus comfy couchs and of course popcorn. Nevermind that she had already eaten. Kitra giggled, "Lead the way Abyss."
Abyss nodded to the young woman. “ Yeah we’ve got a pretty nice rec room and a playcube3 with webflicks on it. So we should be able to find something to watch.” Abyss walked over to the counter and requested a couple bags of popcorn. After receiving the snack, He waved the young woman on and they proceeded to the room with a large Sofa and bigger Tv, Where ever, they lifted the television from would be missing it because it must have cost a fortune.
“What did you have in mind Kit, Action, scifi, romantic comedy? I’m up for whatever.” He stated as he plopped down on the couch.” His tail seized the remote control and turned the TV and PC3 on. He logged in with a tap and brought up the browsing screen, he then handed the remote and a bag of popcorn off to Kitra.
