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.

The term “Adapted” didn’t sound familiar to him. He could hazard a guess, though. A variation of human? Mutant seemed like the most likely culprit so that was what he said when she asked him. Whether right or wrong, it seemed that she would tell him as she was one. So he settled into a seat, continued to calm his nerves, and listened.
Honestly what she said seemed to line up with what he had just experienced. He knew that his powers were different, stronger than what he last remembered, otherwise he wouldn’t have believed this whole story. He found that not only did he have a connection to water, but it was so strong he could literally feel it in the people around him. He could see them through the walls, blobs of human shaped water walking about their day. But when he looked at Ms. Taylor, even before she walked into the room, he couldn’t see her. This explained it.
”Huh…” he said. ”...that makes sense.” A soft, calming sigh fell from his lips. ”My powers are different. Stronger. I was wondering why they were acting funny when you and Officer Bleu were in the hallway.”
He had never heard of something like this. He knew he was a mutant but he also knew that being such needed to stay a secret. This greatly contradicted everything now. Hell, it was explained to him that he was a member of the Mutant Related Crimes unit! A branch of the police force designated just to help and deal with mutants. Apparently the world changed a lot in twenty years.
He looked back up to her. ”I guess the world changed a lot more than I realized.”

The question had been bothering him since he first pulled the ring off of his finger. He knew what a wedding ring was and the finger it was supposed to go on. But what he last remembered in 1994, he wasn’t married. He had been casually seeing someone but it hadn’t been more than a couple dates. Actually had been getting ready to end things with her because they were just spinning their wheels in the mud. But now that it was 2020 and he was married to someone of whom he had no idea.
That was a problem. Not because he didn’t want to be married but because he couldn’t remember them. How they fell in love? Where they met? What their favorite day was together? He couldn’t remember anything at all that reminded him of a spouse. That needle dug a bit deeper than he thought it would.
So he wanted to know. If she was right and she actually knew him, worked with him, then surely she would know who his spouse was. A name. A gender. A location. Better why, why weren’t they here? The officers around him seemed to either not know or were reluctant to answer. What was he supposed to do with that?
Ms. Taylor was stoic as he asked this question...and then proceeded to say that other things should be discussed her. She seemed very nice but, admittedly, that irritated him a small bit. Frustration loomed as he lowered his gaze, shaking his head. Why wasn’t anyone talking about it? Were they dead? A giant evil slug monster? Honestly his brain burned just trying to think about it.
Hands on his hips, he turned away. Closing his eyes he took a deep, calming breath. He knew he had to keep his head on straight. Normally he did but this was a very drastic situation. Already he could feel his head reeling from this information so he had to take a second to pause, breathe deep, and let it out slowly. He tried to focus on what he felt was right of what Ms. Taylor told him.
He was a cop. A good cop. And he was a teacher who helped students with their mutations. The fact that all this was so open still astounded him but he was grateful to know that even in his old age, he was trying to help. That was at least one light in the darkness.
Turning back to her, his lifted his head, his expression a little more at peace. ”Sorry…” he said. ”Just a little...frustrating. Um, yes, by all means,” he said, reaching down to pull out the chair for her. No matter the crisis, he had manners. He sat on the edge of the table, watching her as she asked him about “adapteds”. He shook his head slowly. ”No. Is that another mutant term?”

Jorge
Everything that was happening made no sense, but it was clear that this was real life and not a fantasy (Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?). He felt things, memories that were trying to break through, things that felt so familiar and so strained at the same time. It hurt his head to focus on them for too long but if there were something wrong with him, he needed to suffer it if it meant that he would eventually have answers.
Gemma. God that name rang with familiarity. After she introduced herself, that sensation of memories trying to break through popped into his head again. It offered validity to her statement. He felt like he knew her, but the full context of it was missing. She was a name and a face, but little more than that at the moment. More than just another person he met on the street a couple times; she was someone he must have known.
He was still visibly uneasy but he started to relax a little when she explained what Xavier’s was. His fear was that it was some kind of mental hospital and she was his therapist (or some other strange situation), but that wasn’t the case. Everything she said seemed to check out. The police seemed to treat Xavier’s like a godsend when it came to these cases. They handled mutants, taught them, so it was of little wonder that they were getting the brunt of these strange deaging cases.
A teacher? He looked closed at Ms. Taylor. ”I’m...a teacher?” he asked. ”But...Officer Bleu said that I was on a case with a few others when this happened. I thought I was a cop?”
Continuity error? Or was he really just a busy, busy man? Honestly it didn’t seem out of the realm of possibility for him. The one thing he always wanted was to help people. If he could do that by balancing both a police and a teaching career, he guessed he would have jumped at the chance. Still, the notion struck him as...interesting. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Ms. Taylor, it was just a lot to process at once.
Running his hand across his stubbly chin, he gulped as he tried to organize his thoughts. To him it was 1994 but the rest of the world was in 2020. This was...a definitely leap and certainly required a bit of faith. Did he have faith in Gemma? She seemed nice, if a little tense. This was still a lot to wrap his head around. And it was as he was having this thought that a question crept into his mind.
He raised his eyes to the woman, watching closer. ”If we have worked together...and you know me…” he said as he dug into his jacket pocket. He pulled out the ring that he had found on his finger and held it up to her. ”Can you tell me? Am I married? Why aren’t they here?” he asked.
The officers around here seemed to be dodging the question. Most didn’t seem to want to say anything and instead pushed it off or ignored it. While he wasn’t the type to believe he’d marry at 24, if he had lived as long a life as they were saying, then it must have happened at some point...right? Otherwise why would he have the ring? A simple, completely unfamiliar ring? And why weren’t they here to see him? Was he divorced? Had they passed? He wanted an answer. If this woman knew him well enough for the police to call her over, surely she must know.

Jorge
Jorge looked at Officer Bleu. The young woman was biting her lip, looking the most uncomfortable she could look after Jorge spoke to the taller woman. Why did she look so...guilty? Like she was in on something that he didn’t know? It made the young officer a little uneasy, especially when he turned his attention back to the stranger. Her eyes, they looked like they were hurting, but from what? His natural empathy wanted to take over, to ask if she was okay, but as she approached, speaking in a familiar tone, he stopped and took a step back.
He didn’t know her. One of the first things he learned as an officer was to be on his guard, no matter what. Given the situation, he was going to be just a little jumpy, especially since he didn’t fully understand what had happened.
But it was only one step. He stopped when the older woman introduced herself and proceeded to tell him that they knew one another from Xavier’s. The name, Xavier, that sounded familiar. He had heard a few of the officers here talk about it, saying that’s where they should send the those who have been “deaged”. Presumably, that was what happened to him. What kind of facility was it?
He stared at Gemma. She said that she knew him from there, but did he believe her? There was something about her face that was trusting, but he wasn’t fully there yet. Her presence threw him off. As she drew closer, he could feel his own senses to the surrounding water began to minimize until they completely vanished. It was not a feeling he enjoyed and made him all the more wary.
“I’ll...give you two a moment,” Star suddenly said, breaking the silence.
Jorge turned to her, watching as Officer Bleu stepped out and closed the door behind her. Left alone Ms. Taylor, Jorge watch her suspiciously. She claimed to know him, but he didn’t know her because of this deaging? Would the cops let someone in claiming to know another without any proof? Unlikely. This wasn’t some improbable 1980s movie and he wasn’t a rich socialite brat with amnesia. He knew who he was, what he didn’t know was what was going on.
Tucking his hands into the pockets of his jacket, he gave her another close look before he spoke up. ”What is ‘Xavier’s’, Ms. Taylor?” he asked. ”I’ve heard it mentioned a few times around here concerning my condition. Is it a hospital?” A pause as he watched her, eyes giving her a scrutinizing gaze as if trying to judge how much he trusted her. ”And how did we know each other?”

Star hated being the bearer of bad news. That was why most of the officers didn’t think she would last when she first started. She was very empathetic with the people that she spoke with and they knew it was a trait that could get her into trouble. But Star always found a way to push through those feelings and do her job. However, at the moment, it was harder and harder to actually remember that. Gemma and Jorge were so amazing, the fact that anything happened to either one of them was heartrending.
And this was certainly heartrending. Star bit her lip as Gemma asked, seemingly a thousand miles away, what was wrong with Jorge. Marching forward, she led the way to the waiting rooms where Jorge was currently being kept. After sucking in a breath to calm her nerves, she spoke up.
“The deaging phenomena. The one that keeps happening throughout the city?” she gulped. “Jorge and couple other officers were raiding a warehouse and we got the call over the radio. The officers that went in...all came out much younger than when they entered; including Jorge.”
As they passed waiting room, over figures could be seen inside. Young teens, children, twenty-somethings, all sitting and talking with families or friends who looked completely devastated as the former officers looked upon them like they were complete strangers. It was a harsh walk but, eventually, Star stopped at one of the doors without a window.
She turned to Gemma. “Are you ready?” She asked. When confirmed she opened the door, pushing it open to reveal what was inside.
***
Jorge was still sitting at the desk, staring at his badge. This wasn’t his Miami P.D. badge, but he still felt like it was his, even though he had never served in New York. It was a very odd feeling and one that added credence to what some of the officers he had spoken to had been saying. That he was one of theirs, just that he couldn’t remember anymore because of some Ponce de Leon, Fountain of Youth, freakiness that was happening. It was still so difficult to be true.
Last he remembered, it was 1994. But the newspaper that the officers had given him as proof said it was 2020. He could only shake his head. 26 years? It sounded so absurd, like something from a book, but if this were a prank, it was exceedingly elaborate.
Jorge continued to try and wrap his head around everything when he felt movement out of the corner of his eye. He winced, still getting used to seeing the water in people moving around him. Everytime it struck him like a spike in the back of his brain. He couldn’t do that at 24, that he was certain of. But there was one strange thing he noticed...when there was footsteps but also a large gap in his vision. It sounded like two people but why couldn’t he see their watery outlines out in the hall?
He barely had time to ponder this when the door opened. He stood up, watching as the young officer from before held the door for another figure. A very tall, very beautiful, older woman. Jorge stared at her, his head tilted curiously. Familiar. There was a hint of familiarity there but damned if he couldn’t place it. Instead he continued to stare at her with unrecognized eyes.
Jorge was tall, at least 6’1 with tight, fresh into the police force, athletic build that shown through the tight, light gray shirt. His jeans were dark blue though slightly worn, his leather jacket being in the same state. All-in-all, they were clothes he didn’t recognize, though an older, 50 year old Jorge would as they were the clothes he left home in.
”Ma’am…” he said softly, greeting the new stranger with a respectful nod. He then turned to Officer Bleu. ”I’m sorry...but...did you say my family was coming?” He looked back at the older woman, a soft shake of his head. ”Sorry to say but you might have the wrong room.”

Jorge
It was hard to focus. As he looked at the two way glass, inspecting his face, checking his eyes, sticking out his tongue, everything felt right. Running a hand over the stubble on his face, the young man frowned slightly before he turned away and moved back to his chair on the table. His eyes still roamed the room, obviously trying to make sense of everything that had been told to him but, again, it was getting harder and harder to focus. It didn’t make sense. He wasn’t 50 years old.
Jorge Cervantes knew who he was. He was a recent hire for the Miami Police Department. He had been on the job for a little over a year now and was hitting his stride. He had helped to break up a pretty big car theft ring in the city and was still riding high on that fame. But now...ugh...now it just didn’t make any sense.
His clothes were somewhat ill-fitting, smaller than what was necessary for his frame, as if they belonged to a thinner man. But as he opened the familiar jacket, he pulled a gold badge from the pocket inside. As he turned it around, looking at the I.D. he stared at a face he didn’t recognize. Jorge Cervantes, it said it right there, his name, his age, his current address, but that couldn’t be him, right? He was only 24 and was living in Miami just yesterday, and now he was in New York City.
It was...confusing.
Staring ahead, he tried to remember. He looked at the photo supposedly of himself, and found the corners of his eyes blurring. There was something about that face, something he recognized, something that he couldn’t put his finger on…
He saw himself...or rather, himself with that face. He was looking in a rear view mirror, brushed his hair back, before getting out of a car. His badge was snapped to his belt, casting a reflective gold spot ahead of him as he moved. Gun drawn, he and a few other officers, faces he didn’t recognize, moved in a standard formation as they swarmed into a warehouse. They checked corners, they shouted orders, and then that’s when the fog rolled in.
The odd smoke that obscured his view. There were shouts, pained screams from other officers, and then Jorge remembered himself screaming. But just as he tried to zero in on that memory, he felt an odd pang in the back of his mind. He winced, shook his head, and finally took several deep breaths. With a shaky sigh he tried to shake the feeling off. That memory was quickly turning in fragments and shadows in his mind, the pain dissipating as it did so. What was going on?
Jorge glanced to the door in the waiting room. The officers here told him that family was coming. His madre? Papa? Jayda? If he was in New York, surely they were as well. Frustration began to overtake him as he tried to find things to occupy his mind, such as playing with the ring that he had inadvertently slipped off his finger and was now spinning on the tabletop. He didn’t spare a thought as to why he was wearing it, and instead just continued to flick it between his hands.
***
Officer Starling Bleu was fairly new to the M.C.U. but she was proving herself to be an asset. A graduate of Xavier’s, her animal shifting powers came in handy more often than others would think. A lot of the officers thought she was going to be soft, but Jorge saw the potential in her. He always said he had a feeling about her and Star shown through with flying colors. She had only been here a couple years but Jorge, herself, even his wife, had all become good friends. They had even doubled dated once with her girlfriend, Marina. Their dogs, Finn and Lizzie, got along super well.
But that was what made this all the more difficult. Jorge was different now. A victim of the deaging phenomena that had been occurring around the city, he now was in his 20s and didn’t remember a damn thing: that included his wife, Gemma. This was going to be a painful reunion.
Star wandered around the precinct as an orange and white tabby, slinking between legs, hopping up on desks, and making her way to the front. It was often the easiest way to move around the hustle and bustle of the precinct and most officers knew to make way for her. She needed to intercept Gemma before someone else did. When she finally made it to the front, she jumped onto the reception desk, ignoring the shoos of the officer there and kept watch with her feline eyes.
Star had been the one to call her and knew it wouldn’t take the guidance counselor long to get here. Gemma Taylor was a known figure around here, as was her husband, Jorge. But this wasn’t going to be a sweet meeting of married partners checking on each other, rather, things were far more devastating. So much so that the officers actually took a half second to draw straws to figure out who was going to break the news to her. Star didn’t consider herself lucky.
When she spotted Gemma, she hopped off the desk and quickly shifted back into her human form, a shorter woman with blond hair and, usually, a bright smile. This time her lips were twisted in an odd grimace as she approached the much, much taller woman.
“Hey Ms. Taylor…” she said with a sigh. She gave her an awkward hug before she stepped back, leading Gemma into the precinct. “...I’m so, so sorry to have to call you in. Are you okay?” Stupid question, Star. Stupid question.

Mutations
Mutation description: Water Manipulation - Jorge has the mutant ability of seizing and manipulating water. He cannot create water from his body, but instead he must find a nearby source to manipulate it from and bend it to his will. It does not matter what type of water it is, whether it be salt, fresh, or bottled, but the more diluted the water is with other chemicals, the harder it is for control. Also, for some reason his power does not extend beyond water's fluid form. He has no command over solid ice or water vapors, since to him, their molecules are too difficult to control.
Strengths: With water he has developed different ways to use it to his advantage:
Tidal Wall: By swirling the a thin layer of water around his body, Jorge makes an effective, swift moving shield that can protect him from most physical attacks. Unfortunately he is unable to stop projectiles all together but he can slow them down and veer them off course by inches due to the water pressure of the swirling liquid. Lastly, he cannot walk with the tidal shield flowing around him. It takes most of his concentration to keep the water spinning so he must remain still.
Water Jets: With a sizeable source of water nearby, Jorge does have the ability to project it out from it's source and aim it at a target. These water jets can be shot out at quick, breakneck speeds, enough to knock an opponent down, but he cannot keep up their speeds for more than a few minutes.
Floating Water Globes: With concentration, Jorge can manipulate a globe of water to float freely through the air. In doing this, he can submerge a person's head in a small sphere of continously swirling water to the point where they can pass out from lack of oxygen. Once a Jorge manages to get a Globe around a person's head, they being to drown and no matter how they try to escape, they cannot pry the water away. Their only chance would be to run and hopefully get out of Jorge's range, in which the water would simply dissipate and fall harmlessly to the ground.
Human Divining Rod: Due to his connection with water, Jorge has the abilty to sense water whenever it is twenty feet from him. Unfortunately this gift is not precise, so he will still have to look for the source, but it does give him an early warning system that lets him know he can use his abilities if need be.
Weaknesses:
Amount of Water: Jorge can only manipulate between five and ten gallons of water at one time. He can easily start manipulating five gallons of water without any sideeffects and from there he can gradually move up to ten, the threshold point at when he finds it harder to concentrate. If he were to try and control any more than this, he would be putting a massive strain on his head which would result in blurred vision, a migraine and shaky muscles. This will cause a large enough distraction to stop, causing him to lose control of the water, at which point it harmlessly falls to the ground, leaving him weakened and exhausted.
Distance: He must be within twenty feet of any water source in order to successfully manipulate it. If he is too far away, he will barely be able to churn it's surface, much less use it to any advantage. When it comes to his Water Jets or Floating Globes, Jorge can only push them to about twenty feet away before they begin to dissipate.
Duration: Jorge can manipulate water for a maximum of ten minutes, without a break, before it begins to have any adverse affects on him. After that, he begins to suffer from the "Thirst".
Thirst: Because of his abilities, every time he uses them, it actually pulls a little from the hydration in his own body. If Jorge were to manipulate water longer than what he knows is safe, he would begin to dehydrate down to dangerous levels which could force him to pass out.
Intense Cold/Intense Heat: Though ice and vapor should seem like easy things for Jorge to control, his powers have no affect on them. If any water source he attempts to manipulate is frozen solid or evaporated into mist, there is nothing Jorge can do to control them.
Power Growth: (5/27/2011) Shifting into Water Elemental Form Since the human body is comprised mainly of water, Jorge has the ability to break his body down into conscious, humanoid being made of water. This takes concentration on Jorge’s part but being in this form his body intimidating and seems to be unable to be harmed (obviously not true). The water form has a head, two dark shadows where his eyes shoulder be, a mouth (but cannot speak), and full upper body. From the waist down is just a swirling length of water connected to the rest. The water is constantly churning in this form causing small droplets to be fall but it always magnetically returns to the main body so he loses no part of himself.
Spy with the Water: Even though he is in a liquid state, Jorge is still conscious of his surroundings and he can hear and see to a certain degree. Though his hearing will be slightly muffled and his sight just a little disoriented because of the form. Pretty much it will be like looking or hearing something through water.
Bend with the Water: Since his body is comprised of water, Jorge is safer from most normal attacks. Bullets will simply fly threw him, knives with cut nothing, punches, etc., all of it will just momentarily displace the water, leaving him unharmed.
Flow with the Water: Also in this liquid state, Jorge can squeeze into tight entrances and reform himself on the other side, as well as hid in smaller cracks (but there does need to be enough room to hold his entire mass of water. He can’t hide his full self into something the depth and width of a penny.
Reach with the Water: Jorge can also now use his own body to produce many of the same maneuvers in which he uses water in his human form. He can throw out jets of water at high speeds, around 100psi of pressure. Enough to knock people back with the strength of a lower grade fire hose spray. These water can be pulled and return from his own water body. Also he can manipulate the water in his own body to spin at high speeds to deter projectiles off track.
One with the Water: Though most of Jorge’s attention is focused on keeping himself together, when actually standing inside of a larger body of water (i.e. a fountain, lake, ocean) Jorge can manipulate more of the water that is around him. Therefore most of ways in which he has learned to manipulate water become stronger.
Weaknesses:
Focus to Grasp: Because in this form his body is comprised of water Jorge cannot simply pick up or lift anything with his hands. Instead if he needs to focus on the surface tension of the water his body is comprised of. By making the water as tense and tightly compact as he can, he can lift and hold an object or person weighing up to 100 lbs. Above that, Jorge has difficulty keeping the tension strong enough to keep whatever he attempts to hold from slipping through his body.
Less Manipulation: While in water form, Jorge cannot manipulate other bodies of water from a distance, instead he needs to be standing in a body of water in order to manipulate all that is around him. He can sense bodies of water but he can do nothing to control them as he can when he is in human form. Instead he must physically be standing within the water.
Heat/Cold/Adapted Sensitivity: Also since his body will be made of water Jorge will be sensitive to extreme heat or cold. If he is frozen solid, he can do nothing to free himself until he thaws. If he comes in contact with a heat so high that he will evaporate him or is in the presence of an adapted, the shock of the situation with painfully shift him straight back into human form. Since his human body is being so quickly regained, Jorge will suffer a slight shock from the sudden transformation, enough to temporary make him lose complete focus of his surroundings.
Time Limit: Jorge can only hold his water form for maybe a full 30 minutes before his concentration begins to waiver. This will be followed by a blinding headache and pain which will force him into his human form and leave his disoriented and confused until he focuses himself again.
Water Mixed with Water: Jorge, while in water form, can enter other bodies of water, but he runs the risk of losing part of himself while in them. He has to hold his concentration as he moves through a large body of water, if not, he risks spreading himself out too far unable to pull himself back together.
Anyone Have Pants?: Unfortunately, Jorge at the moment can only shift his physical body into water. He cannot shift his clothes so each shift will require him to find some sort of clothing (or return to where his discarded clothes are) if he wants to remain decent.
Power Growth: (07/03/2012) Human Water Control: Place placing his hands or any part of his bare skin onto the bare skin of another human, Jorge will be able to gain control over the water in their bodies. By doing so he can pull water out of whatever person he is touching or he can manipulate their muscles and limbs to his will.
Strengths:
Sensing People – Because his ability has grown to him manipulating water in human beings, Jorge can now sense when people are around for about 20 feet around him. This makes it harder to really sneak up.
Dance Marionette! Dance! – When using his ability, Jorge gains control over a person’s voluntary motor functions. He can moves a person’s legs, arms, hands, feet, etc. He obviously, though, does not have control over their autonomous functions (breathing, heartbeat, etc.).
Dehydration Is Bad – Also while in contact with someone, Jorge can not only manipulate the water in their bodies but he can also pull the water out of them. When he does this, the water pours our of the victim's pores and turns into a sphere that hovers mere inches away and leaves their bodies dehydrated, but not to lethal levels. Instead he can only cause dehydration for about five minutes but it is enough time to riddle the victim with persistent cramps. This is a perfect tactic for interrogations or simply incapacitating an opponent. On top of this, Jorge returns the water to the person’s body as soon as he is done.
Weaknesses:
Skin-to-Skin Required – The only way that this ability can work is if Jorge is actually touching the person that he wants to affect. He cannot affect someone from afar and it has to be directly contact for him to control someone. If there is anything blocking the contact, such as clothing, paper, scales, etc., then he will not be able to take control of them.
Time Limit – Even with constant contact, Jorge does find this ability a little draining. Therefore he will only be able to control someone for about 30 minutes. Before he is forced to let go and regain his strength.
Draining – 30 minutes is the absolute maximum that he can control someone but from the beginning of the process, it is rather draining on Jorge. Manipulating the water inside of someone actually pulls water from his own body in the process and can leave him dehydrated. Thus, while he can gain control for up to 30 minutes, that is the absolute maximum before he passes out.
Strong Wills are Harder to Break – Someone trained in control of their own body (Yoga enthusiasts, athletes, etc.,) are harder to control since they have a great control of their own bodies. Jorge would require a lot of concentration to control them and can cut the maximum amount of time from 30 minutes to 15 minutes before he is forced to let go.
No Force Mind Tricks! – Jorge cannot affect a person’s brain or thoughts! He cannot make someone forget something or put thoughts in their head or anything along those lines while he is controlling them. They can still think, and talk if they like; it is only their limbs and muscles that Jorge gains control over.
Muddled Sense – Because he can now sense water in people, it does make his usual water senses a little muddled since he is picking up more sources of liquid. Therefore it requires a little more control and focus on his part to find whatever source he is looking for.
Power Growth: (04/22/2017) Water Golems Jorge has reached a point where his powers have begun to evolve in strange and wonderful ways. Whenever Jorge has manipulated water, it has always been an extension of him; now Jorge will be able to craft entities of fight for and defend him and, based about the amount of sentient energy he places in them, will be able to think somewhat on their own but never any sort of complex intelligence. Strengths:
Golem Classifications: Jorge can craft any kind of golem in any shape but their sizes and the amount of sentient energy attributed to them breaks them down into three classifications. The larger the golem is, the most sentient energy it requires, the more water it requires, and this lessens the amount of time that it is active:
Sprites: Sprite classification are the smallest of the watery golems that Jorge can create. They tend to be no bigger than large cat and have only the most basic intelligence that allows for movement and attacking. Spites will attack anything that comes within range (except Jorge), be they friends or foes. They are more used for a quick little army / distraction than anything else. Number he can create at once: 2, Maximum Time Limit: 1 hour
Naiads: Naiads class are the most humanoid looking of Jorge’s golems. From a distance or in a shadowy area they would simply appear as shapely wet woman or man, however upon closer look they would lack any fine characteristics, also they would be semi-transparent and made of water. Naiads golems have a slightly higher intelligence. They can spy for Jorge, remain in hiding, and/or be directed to attack only foes and protect others when instructed. However that is the limit of their intelligence. Number he can create at once: 1, Maximum Time Limit: 30 minutes
Krakens: The last category of golem that Jorge can create are called Krakens. These are massive, hulking beasts of water. They are the strongest of Jorge’s golems and have the highest level of intelligence he is able to give them. They are able t recognize friend from foe and follow more complex orders given by Jorge and are willing to sacrifice themselves for Jorge and those Jorge considers friends. Still, they do not have a human intelligence about them, just more able to make decisions if need be, no more than a loyal pet. Number he can create at once: 1, Maximum Time Limit: 15 minutes
[li]Extension of Sight: All Jorge’s golems are an extension of his mind. He can see what they see but that is it and how much he sees depends on their level of intelligence. Sprites are chaotic, switching from perspective to perspective so it is difficult for Jorge to truly witness anything, however Naiads and Krakens tend to allow him to grasp what they see better. .[/li] [/ul] Weaknesses:
Water Limitations: For as amazing as his abilities are, it all depends on how much water he has available to him. If Jorge only has a 10 oz. bottle of water with him, that is all he has to work with, he cannot create water from nothing. Therefore the more limited water he has access to, the less likely he can create something as big as a Naiad or a Kraken class golem.
Sentient Energy Split: Jorge can only create so many of the golems at once, and even then he can only create one type at a type. Each time he creates a golem, it saps some of his sentient energy because he is placing a piece of himself in them so that they can act on their own. There is a limit to how much sentience he can give them which is miniscule at best, however since he can only create one at a time, they only partially effect his mental capacities. Doing this with even one golem is draining towards him since he is sapping some of his own sentient energy. Creating just one golem will be comparable to a night of little sleep. It will leave him only momentarily unfocused while the golem is running about. However, the split works in reverse as well. After about 5 minutes the sentient energy Jorge gives the golems will start to decay and return to the source, Jorge. As he starts regaining his focus, the golems will start to lose their intelligence until it all returns to Jorge. At this point they will either fall apart or cease movement, waiting for his gestures to control them, depending on how long before they expire.
On the Clock: Water golems have a very strict time limit after their creation. The second that a golem reaches the maximum time, it simply falls apart into a puddle. Jorge will be able to manipulate the water again, but he won’t be able to craft the golems again. Each class of golem can only be created once each day as it is too draining to implant sentient energies into one all over again.
Frozen or Steamed: Should Jorge’s elementals become victims of temperature change (i.e. suddenly frozen or flash steamed) he loses control of them and the mental energy he placed into them painfully snaps back into his mind like a whip. Even if the elemental is melted down or reconstituted, Jorge loses all control over them and they simply fall over into a puddle of water.
Dehydration: As always, Jorge needs to be able to drink water when he uses his abilities too much. Though he doesn’t realize it, manipulating the element tends to pull a miniscule amount of water from his own body. If he uses these abilities a lot in a span of time, then he will suffer a rapid form of dehydration and must consume water or risk health effects.
What, Girl? Timmy Fell Down the Well?! So the golem have a hard time communicating. While they have some sentience, they do not really have the ability to speak. They can only gurgle, bubble, and make gestures (or in the case of the chaotic Sprites, lewd gestures). Their communication is rough but Jorge seemingly understands them. Anyone else would have no idea what they are saying unless it’s the Sprites giving the middle finger…which they do often.
Extension of Sight: Looking through the eyes of another individual is a difficult and often confusing process. To see that many things at once can be difficult for the mind to grasp. Therefore, after Jorge sends off one of his golems to spy for him, he needs to close his eyes and place sound dampeners in his ears. This will allow him to momentarily witness whatever his golems are witnessing but it can only be done for a few seconds, 30 seconds to be exact, before Jorge as he pull back and remove his senses from the golem. Any longer than that can lead to a massive migraine, maybe even a stroke if he tries to persist for too long.
Fighting Style Explanation: Boxing and Grappling
Pros for fighting style: Jorge can defend himself if need be and knows how to subdue an opponent.
Cons for fighting style: Grappling can be dangerous against someone who is just physically stronger than him and thus can put Jorge into a great deal of harm.
Weapon: Police issue Glock 9mm handgun
Faction Allegiance NYPD and X-Men
History Of Your Character Jorge used to be an average boy, living in Long Beach, CA, when a strange event changed his life forever. When he was 15, he was hanging out at the beach with his girlfriend whom he was deeply in love with, and at some ill advice from his friends, they all went swimming a little too far off from shore when she was pulled under thanks to a riptide. Panic stricken, Jorge tried desperately to get her back when, with a sudden thrust of his hands, he managed to repel the water away from him. Over and over he did this, until a miracle beheld the eyes of all the beach goers. Standing on the still moist, sandy ground, stood Jorge as he held his drowned girlfriend, with the ocean parted on both sides of him and a massive migraine erupting deep inside his head. He struggled up to the shore before finally collapsing, blood rushing down his nose from the massive amount of effort he put into repelling the water.
Jorge spend a month in the hospital in a coma from the tremendous strain he suffered. But it wasn’t long before news got out about this holy miracle, this child of God who had been nicknamed “Moses Incarnate”. Jorge found himself the center of attention, receiving all manner of messages ranging from prayers and blessings to death threats against him and his family. After he finally awoke from his coma, Jorge was gently nursed back to health, but not without hearing from his family about all the people who said he was a miracle child from God, and those that said he was the spawn of the devil. It was this attention that forced him and his family to leave California all together and attempt to forget the incident that had occurred. His family, deeply religious and fearing for their lives, fled to Florida and it is there that Jorge grew up, never once able to use his powers again. Days, months, then years passed by and "miracles" never happened again. Soon it became a joke around the family gatherings, that maybe he never did move the water, just maybe it was the tide going out or a trick of the eye! But Jorge knew the truth, secretly the power had never left him, it was only weak. It took most of his concentration to manipulate the water in a glass but through gradual practice, Jorge learned to gain a better control over it, though this was his secret he kept from the family. Then, in 2007 the Mutant Registration act passed and all mutants had to official sign up their powers. Jorge, now with a good job, did not want to risk all this so he remained in hiding, keeping his powers a secret. He never practiced them in public and rarely did so in his own home. He had heard about the Internment Camps, the Bloody Breakout of 2008, and this did scare him. He could not risk being removed from his family. But a breath of relief was sighed when the Mutant Registration laws were overturned and Jorge did not have to live in fear of government harassment, just general human bigotry.
Now, seeking to do the most good where it is required, Jorge Cervantes has taken a transfer to New York City, where he hopes that he will be able to use his powers to help fight back against the out numbered police force.
Jorge's time In New York proved to be a veritable cornucopia of changes for him; the best being his meeting of a lovely woman by the name of Gemma Taylor. A counselor for the Xavier Institute, Jorge and Gemma dated for a number of years before the pair of them finally got engaged. During this time, Jorge worked as a detective for the Mutant Related Crimes unit of the New York Police Department. It was a hard job, full of danger, but one that he loved every second of it. He even found himself as a liaison between the NYPD and the X-Men.
However, Jorge's time would soon hit a massive roadblock. In the year of 2012, after four months being deep undercover, Jorge found himself in a situation that would have been his most dire. Uncovered and to be executed, Jorge was shot and fell back into the ocean depths. It would have been his tomb if he had now allowed himself to shift fully into water with hopes of healing his injuries. However, being in the middle of the ocean, Jorge was split apart his essentially agonizing spread out over miles and miles and miles. Surely it would have been his end if not for his extreme willpower.
Three years of drifting and, finally, Jorge managed to pull himself together enough to temporarily become solid and find himself on dry land. However, after spending so much time in a liquid state, the confused and exhausted detective found himself unable to hold his solid form for long. Thankfully people at the hospital were more than willing to aid him.
For the last year, Jorge Cervantes has been in a New York hospital, undergoing a type of physical therapy to help him regain a mastery of his abilities. For the most part he is doing well but there are still times where he can miscalculate his abilities. He is one of the more powerful mutants in the world, controlling one of the most abundant elements. However, his discipline and focus has allowed the detective to slowly make his recovering. Now he is ready to resume his position on the police force, though of course he must continue with his therapy treatments until it is proven he has complete control again.
[UPDATED: 1/28/2020] Jorge is...unsure of what has happened. He has vague memories of walking into a warehouse with some fellow officers (faces he can’t recall) to chase down a suspect. However, upon entering a strange fog overtakes them. Pain, sounds, and suddenly Jorge found himself leaning against a wall, an EMT looking over him. What didn’t make any sense at all was that he was supposed to be on patrol in Miami but seemingly is now in New York City.
It is explained that this is something that has been happening to the mutants of New York. That he isn’t time traveler but is, in fact, something far more terrifying. He is a 50 year old man thrown back into his 20s. Now with no memory of his time in New York, Jorge has to rediscover the man he was and figure out where his life will take him now.
Roleplay Where did you learn about this site?: Search on Bing Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who:Agnes Nicholas & Booker B. Bookman Sample RP: The charged footfalls of Jorge Cervantes echoed in the stagnant scented alley, as his heart pounded inside his chest. His breathing grew harsher, but the adrenaline that pumped in his veins kept him going as he followed the echoes of another person’s running footsteps. The sound soon stopped and Jorge skidded to a stop against the slimy brick wall. The smell of the decayed posters and spoiled food assaulted his nostrils but he didn’t waiver. Instead, Jorge crept up to the corner of the wall and peeked.
The rest of the alley led to a dead end...and that was where he saw him. A small, rag dressed homeless man faced towards the wall and was hunched over. His long, greasy white hair could be seen from Jorge's vantage point and hung like limp pasta around his broad shoulders. The rags he wore were obviously very old and were split at their seams, exposing only more ragged clothes underneath.
Any other person would’ve simply passed this man with no notice. They didn't want to see this part of humanity; this side of civilization where those who couldn't make it socially or financially had to resort to living in streets and eating from dumpsters. But Jorge knew better. He knew that this old man was more than he seemed: he was a true monster.
Four months ago, Jorge was handed this assignment, to track and bring in Bruce Bale. A former war survivor and religious fanatic, Bruce disappeared off the radar after he returned home to an empty life as a broken man. With his wife gone with the kids, through divorce, blinded in combat, and family all passed away, Bruce had nowhere to turn but the streets. It was then that several strange murders started to pop up. Hookers, other homeless, gang members, a total of ten victims had been found, lying in alleyways with their throats ripped out by sharp teeth and a cross of blood drawn upon their foreheads. The newspapers got a hold of the story, calling them the Preacher Murders, but few people really cared. They figured it was the work of a strange vigilante, weeding out the streets of the undesirables...that is until honored officer Gabrielle Freeman was found dead, murdered in the same manner.
"Ugh..."
Jorge suddenly bolted up. “That sounded like a whimper. Oh my god, he hasn't killed her yet.” He peeked around the corner again and saw the old man was now turned slightly towards him with what appeared to be a rather large bundle in his arms. He looked close and realized that what Bruce held was actually a young child, a small girl with scratches down the length of her neck. He then erupted from around the corner, pulled his pistol from its holster and held up, aimed directly between the fiend's eyes. "Put her down Bruce!"
Jorge's proclamation startled Bruce so much he dropped the girl in his arms, which caused her to quickly scamper away to the edge of the wall. Jorge started to advance, gun held high and aimed at his target. Bruce crouched low, baring his teeth. Several rows of sharpened, needlelike teeth glistened in the dying light of the overhead lightbulb. He started to circle towards the small girl, but Jorge was quick to unload a round into the concrete between them, which made both the girl and Bruce jump back.
"Bruce, it's time you came with me," Jorge said as he came to a stop in front of the girl. "You're not going to get her."
Bruce let out a terrible screech as he edged closer to a heavy door. "You get away from her! Who are you?"
"I'm the one bringing you in. You've killed a lot of people Bruce. It's time to stop."
"They were sinners!" Bruce screeched again and held onto the door handle. "Whores, degenerates and killers! They deserved to die! I was doing God's work!"
"Just like Officer Freeman? A decorated police officer?" Jorge knelt down and checked to make sure the little girl was okay, why did she look familiar?
"Get away from her!!!" Bruce suddenly lunged and screeched so loud and sharp that Jorge almost felt deafened. But this wasn't Jorge's first time doing this. With a quick turn, he managed to bring up his leg and kick his attacker across the chin and sending him flying back into the wall. Jorge then leapt onto his feet but heard the door that Bruce felt out earlier.
Damn it! Moves fast for a blind man. He burst through the door and found his senses assaulted even harsher than from in the alley. The dim flicker of the overhead fluorescent lights showed him to be in a restroom of sorts, one that had not been cleaned in weeks it seemed. The stinking odor of urine and other just as disgusting materials penetrated all of his senses, but Jorge made himself focus. Gun held high, he proceeded into the unusually large restroom and checked all his blind spots.
"Bruce! You need to give yourself up! Don't think I won't shoot to kill," Jorge bluffed. His top priority was to incapacitate Bruce, not kill him. The police wanted him alive.
SCREEEECH!!!
Jorge couldn't pinpoint the source of that sound, but he knew what it was. When Bruce was diagnosed as being a mutant, among the listed with sharp teeth and heightened agility, was echolocation, similar to a bat, pretty useful for a blind man. That was why Bruce kept screeching in the alley, he had mapped out the area and Jorge’s location. And he was doing the same here.
"I take it that you're just now realizing you're trapped in here," Jorge called out. "Make this easy on yourself. Don't make me-"
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!!
The bathroom stall nearly shattered as Bruce lunged through the door and slammed hard into Jorge. All his breath knocked out of him, he dropped his gun and soon found himself being lifted up by the throat. Bruce snarled and pulled Jorge close, "Kill you!" he growled and bared his fangs.
A sudden turn and Bruce hurled Jorge through another bathroom stall where he crashed hard against a stained, porcelain toilet bowl. The smell of the recently used toilet quickly brought Jorge back to his senses and he struggled to sit up. He started to pull himself back towards the wall when Bruce suddenly appeared at the opening and looking down at him menacingly.
"You are a sinner!"
"No," Jorge said as he glanced to the side, "I’m a mutant, just like you."
The motion was quick as Jorge thrust out his hand. In a burst, all the fluids in the toilet suddenly shot forward and swirled and sloshed around Bruce’s head in a sphere of water and urine. Bruce’s voice was muffled as the fluids swirled unendingly around and around his face. It poured down into his razor sharp mouth and inside his nose and even inside of his ears. Jorge struggled to stand as he still held up his hand, manipulating the liquids to still encompass the panic-stricken Bruce who thrashed from side to side while the disgusting concoction refused to leave his head.
Soon Bruce fell to his knees and it was then that Jorge finally lowered his hand, which caused all the water to drop in a shower around Bruce’s head and shoulders. He retched as he collapsed onto his hands and knees, vomiting hard, over and over again to the point that he passed out on the stained tiled floor.
Jorge breathed hard as he leaned back against the wall and pulled his cell phone out of his pocket. "Hello? Yeah, George, I know I shouldn’t have left alone. Yeah, yeah, whatever. Tell the chief I you can come up and get the Bat-Man. And..." Jorge sniffed and covered his nose as he walked out of the bathroom, "bring some disinfectant."
"Mister?"
Jorge looked down to see the little girl was still in the alley. She stood and looked at him intently. "Is grandpa okay?"
He paused and thought back to Bruce Bale's file...he then shook his head. "I'm sorry kid." He held out his hand. "Come on, I'm a detective. I'll take you home. I bet your mommy's really worried."

Jorge
Amethyst twas going to be tough to break through to. She lived her life as royalty and now she was being expected to live as an equal amongst a class of people that she spent her life looking down upon. It wasn’t that Jorge knew her entire history, but just from this conversation alone, he could tell how she felt about her fellow mutants. Demigods and Gorgons were still the status quo for her. She was going to be in for a rude awakening up here.
The softer approach wasn’t working so he attempted to be a bit tougher. It was a tactic that tended to work with criminals. A few choice words, reminders, things that would make them second guess their place in the grand scheme of things. It didn’t work on everyone but for the majority it seemed to do the trick. But the look in this one’s eyes spoke volumes. She wasn’t buying it...not yet.
If there was one thing that Jorge could say about her was that she knew when to play the game. She understood that Jorge wasn’t going the budge and that one of them was going to have to. Finally, she was the one to relent, staring at him as he asked her if they understood how things were going to work now. He knew people well enough to know when they were shitting him, but this was probably the best he was going to get from her.
He sighed. Well, he tried his hand at counseling. If anyone else complained about her, it was going to be Gemma’s turn. Vaya con dios. He jotted another note on her file before he closed it and slipped it back into the file cabinet.
”Okay. I think we’re done here,” he announced. ”I understand your powers are involuntary. But I would suggest some better management control. Try not to leave those gemstones lying around,” he said. ”That could lead to unwanted attention. Is there anything else about your abilities that we need to know?”

Jorge
It was honestly like talking to a brick wall. He may as well pull up a chair to the side of a building and speak directly to it as opposed to this pampered princess. God, why did he take this job. He would honestly rather be dealing with Ambrosia dealing criminals or a fart-powered rocket button flying about the city (true story). But, he always had a soft spot for the kids here. They had grown through more than most adults ever will, and they deserved a chance.
Well, all except for Amethyst, of course.
Oh, the second that she said she was better, he knew then that the conversation had died. He didn’t exactly expect any breakthroughs with her in one day, but he had hoped for a glimmer of something that was salvageable. Sadly it seemed as if that was going to have to happen another day as the princess was digging in her heels rather deeply. She wasn’t going to budge.
She attempted to victimize herself by stating one of the students had threatened her to leave. That wasn’t hard to imagine. He stared at her for a second before he continued:
”Was this another student you called a ‘Gorgon’?” he asked bluntly. He brought it back around to her holier-than-thou behavior. You act like an ass, people are going to treat you like one. ”And, for the record, in instances like that, you need to tell the staff so we can investigate the matter, not keep it to yourself. You may not believe it, but we are here to help. A lot of students have suffered here and they all have the right to be treated fairly. Same goes for you.”
He watched her for another moment before closing her file.
”All I’m suggesting...is that you try. Try to talk to your fellow students, try to engage, and try to lower your nose because let me express a harsh truth to you...here, in this place, you are not better than anyone. All of you are on equal ground. And that’s something you need to learn very quickly. Do we understand one another?” It was a question, but said more a statement. If she could dig in her heels, so could he.

Jorge
Deep down, for as sarcastic as Jorge could be, he actually did care a lot about the students in this school. Whether they were sweet and innocent or nightmarish brat monsters, he did actually give a shit. He knew that a lot of the reason why these kids could be so prickly is because they didn’t know who to trust. Eventually they would learn that Jorge was here to keep them safe.
Would Amethyst? The royal-minded young woman seemed certain that she was in the right and that her mentality was the one true way things should be. But she couldn’t walk around the halls, carrying on in this matter. Nor could she walk outside these school walls thinking that either. That was liable to get her into more trouble than she would be able to get out of.
It seemed that he had struck a nerve. When he unveiled the baggie of precious stones, she immediately went wide-eyed, seemed almost embarrassed by it. He partially felt bad for throwing that out onto her, but at the same time he knew that this was something that needed to be addressed. You could just walked around, dropping jewels as you please. That’s something that’ll easily get you kidnapped.
But Amethyst surprise was immediately masked by annoyance and arrogance. She demanded to know if it was one of the new arrivals from Atlantis that had “tattled” on her and proceeded to denounce the way that she was treated by the other students in the school. He knew there was some bad blood from the Gorgons who had been stuck living in the Necropolis towards royalty like her. And some of the other students, well, they didn’t respond well to someone strolling about the halls with a royal stick up their butts.
If she was going to act like a bratty princess, she was going to be treated like one.
He shook his head. ”No one tattled. These were found and considering your ‘gifts’ it not hard to put two-and-two together,” he explained. He shook his head at the denouncement of her treatment and snorted. ”I’m sorry, Amethyst, but when you carry yourself with that ‘I’m-better-than-you’ attitude, your not bound to make too many friends.”
He took a second to jot down another note, taking back those stones and settling them in his desk. The rest of the staff will figure out how to dispose of them. It was just better to keep them out of her gaze lest it continue to make her uncomfortable.
”Listen, princess,” he said respectfully. ”I understand this is a cultural change here. But you need to make a better effort while you are here. You need to try to see things from the rest of these kid’s point-of-view. You can’t carry yourself with the same air here that you did at Atlantis. A lot of these kids have had extremely hard lives. They’ve suffered and this is the first place they feel comfortable. We want you to be comfortable here too but you have to meet us halfway.” He took a breath, leaned back and watched her for a moment before he finally continued. ”And please, stop referring to the physically mutated as ‘Gorgons’. They don’t deserve that.”

Jorge
Sometimes it was a battle of wills with these kids. He didn’t come to this office everyday with the intent of being a jerk to these students but he knew when some needed a dose of reality. Everything he was picking up off the princess told him that she was going to be a tough nut to crack. And before she was sent into Gemma’s presence, Jorge needed to talk to her to try and buff some of those sharp edges.
Otherwise Gemma was just going to destroy her.
So he offered her a smile, an insistence to sit down, and opened her file. Sadly it seemed that she didn’t care for his manner of speech and reminded him that sarcasm was disrespectful to her people before proceeding to rattle off how her abilities worked. He smirked as he listened to her, saying nothing until she was done talking. When she was, he cleared his throat and clicked a pen.
”Oh, I’m well aware,” he said with a nod. ”But while you say you have control, there are things you do need to learn to have control over.” He opened a drawer and pulled out a baggie. Inside was an array of precious stones: jade, sapphires, and white topaz. ”Namely, cleaning up after yourself.”
It wasn’t unheard of for teenagers to cry or be emotional. But even the most sad of them knew how to blow their nose into a tissue and toss it into a trashcan. This made things extra tricky since Amethyst was essentially leaking precious stones, but that wasn’t something that the school needed the kids to just stumble across. And it would be even worse if she found herself outside the school walls. What would the darker side of the world do to a cash cow like her? He shuddered to think.
”Queen Achlus assured us that in your diplomatic role that you would be a bastion for Atlantis. I have to admit, records of how you’ve been reacting to your fellow students has been...disheartening.” He gave her another look. ”And for the record, being snobby and arrogant? That’s also considered disrespectful to this culture.”

It definitely looked as if the reports he was getting about Amethyst were accurate. Just one look at the young woman and he could see that there was a bit of wanted privilege there. If there was one thing that Jorge didn’t care for, it was when people made unjustified demands of others. He understood she was supposed to be a diplomat of sorts, a citizen of Atlantis come here to ensure things were well with all the previous denizens of the city who made the move permanently.
Would she give an unbiased opinion? From what he was hearing, it certainly didn’t seem likely. But, he was being too hard too quickly. She was just a kid, after all, in a world she didn’t recognize. It was best to cut her some slack.
And then she had to go and open her mouth. He hated when arrogant people did that. She revealed that her mutation just...was...and didn’t require any more control. Therefore, not to waste any of their times, she was willing to sign a piece of paper so that she could move on with her day.
Jorge sighed in relief. ”Oh thank god,” he breathed and smiled. Flopping into his chair, he shook his head. ”And here I was, completely worried that I was going to have to waste your highness’ time. Just let me find the right form…”
He leaned down, fishing through his desk drawer, idly flipping through files, not really searching for any wayward form, and instead merely frown and straightened up.
”Sorry, seems I’m clear out of my Free Pass forms.” His saccharine smile was hard to miss as he gestured to the chair in front of his desk. ”Looks like we’re going to have to use up our allotted time to just get to know one another after all. So, once again, please,” he smiled but the sternness was clearly there as well. ”Have a seat.”

It was more than happy to give back to the school. Xavier’s has been good to him. The X-Men made his job as a cop fairly easy, they helped to protect these kids from a world that could be cruel and harsh, they helped piece him back together when his own powers went crazy, and now they brought the woman he loved into his life. It was only natural that he would want to give back to them however he could.
What he didn’t expect was being offered a teaching position. He taught swimming, part-time, during the spring and summer months, but when they approached him with a new job title, he was surprised.
Mutation Control. He only thought that they were just joking at first. With what happened to him? They knew full well that for a number of years he had melded into the ocean and was adrift in thousands, millions of pieces. It took him years to reconstitute. Years! And yet they knew all of that. As a matter of fact, that had been the reason why he was chosen. If any mutant could survive something like that and come out of it reasonably okay, then they were certainly qualified to teach that course.
So...he accepted.
And things were going well. He helped those students that came through his door any help him could. Showing them techniques for identifying how their powers work, discovering what makes them tick, and methods for manipulating them. Some powers were easier to manage than others. But the passive ones, those were the ones that could be the most difficult. There was little he could do for someone who was made of jelly or could only speak in song titles. Still, he would offer as much assistance as he could. Sometimes people just wanted to know you were there.
This one, however, well, he wasn’t sure what he was going to do. Amethyst, the latest mutant hailing from Atlantis. Her abilities were...unique. But it wasn’t her powers that were most troubling, it was her attitude. She had been making waves around the mansion, ever since she showed up. Now he was going to have to deal with her. Perfect. Well, he’d do what he could to try and steer her on the right pa--
Knock, Knock
Setting her file down, he breathed. Jorge’s office was a little small but it was fine for his needs, containing a desk, a could shelves of books, and a file cabinet that seemed as if it could never be fully filled. Circling around his desk, he tugged on the door and found exactly who he was expecting waiting for him.
”Amethyst,” he said with a nod and a smile. ”Right on time.”
He was standing in his usual attire: scuffed up jeans,boots, a gray, Miami Dolphin’s shirt, and his brown leather jacket. His hair was not the rich darkness it used to be but was now much grayer, with strands of pure white dotted throughout. He turned, running his hand down over his beard and mustache as he made for his desk.
”Come on in,” he said, then pointed past her. ”Make sure to close the door behind you.”
