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.

“I am not Mars, and no I don’t think I am alright.” He blinked as the man made way to the vehicle still trying to get rid of the little birds that would circling his head if they were in a cartoon.
“Why the hell did you hit me with..” He glanced at the implement on the ground. “ A shovel!? You hit me with a shovel. I don’t know what you have going with…” He knew exactly what he had going with mars. He was mars an the other six too. This was weird. His world was weird.
It was about that time that the *….that guy, started to sputter away, in his now crappy truck, he was infinitely pleased by that. This experience would do a whole lot more than simply mess with his truck.
He blinked his eyes again to get the fog away. Oh right. It was about that time that guy sputtered away that his body rippled with muscle his flesh and eyes tuned crimson and in momnts it was him again. Mars.
“Ow!” Mars exclaimed as his tail was once again there but tangled with in his clothing. He stood and rubbed the back of his head. And then he looked really surprised at Lori. Like she woke him up with a bucket of water…like he woke her up with a bucket of water surprised. The others were in his head.
“Oh this isn’t even funny.” HE looked in the direction the truck went wanting to chase it. He hugged Lori and patted her on the back. “Are you ok?” he glanced over in the direction of the truck again.
He concentrated toward the yard and tried to mimic the thought process that Abyss always used when he opened a void. And….nothing. this wasn’t good.
The rest of the guys just as disoriented, were arguing in his head, all those years of wondering how it felt for Abyss and he wished he didn’t know. As for Abyss well he was helpfully laughing like he just one the lottery. He was finally off of Babysitting duty. Good riddance.
“Can we sit down for a minute, I think not listening to you may have been the worst mistake I have made.” He un buttoned his pants and held them open wiggling his tail around so that it was no longer down the back of his right pat leg.
“ Do you know where he lives? This is important.” He looked. “ in case it can be reversed.”
"Damn you both." "You deserve each other." If Mars heard the man, he would have thought that it was funny that he complimented him a sentence after cursing him.
Pluto shook his head, a mist was rolling about in the room it was almost how he pictured his dreams beginning? was that different for everyone. Jaxon called up urgently and squeezed his hand making him focus a bit more on this. PLuto breathed out a long sigh. " It's all ok." He smiled as the little girl wailed into life, Little and pink, and wildly loud for such a little thing. five fingers, five fingers, five toes five toes, a girl. He smiled more, his life had only gotten better since he came back home to the arctic.
A small piece of his mind and memoryseemed to zip off to the past. the mist and fog zipped away and he was back to normal. He tilted his head and nodded to the doctor as the man gently handed over there little girl. she was now wrapped in a little blnket and woud be kept warm she looked fine.
" was that a bit easier, then last time?" PLuto smiled she hadn't even needed to curse at him, Tien whispered and laughed still getting used to the fantastic ease that Melbourne worked. That was the teleporters name. He could also remove cancer's something Tien couln't do, between the two of them, well the Artic could very well be immune to anything that came their way and then some.
He smiled down to Jaxon. " What is her name my dear." They had settled on a boys name, but a girls name was up in the air. He was sure Jaxon had a favorite but she didn't want to step on her toes. "everything is fine.just calm down, she is in your arms. and you both are in mine. you both couldn't be more safe."
Pluto had never felt more profoundly calm or protective in his life. Nothing, and he meant nothing woul harm either of them so long as he lived. Melbourne added on to Pluto's reassurance." All of your readings are great and the same goes for the little lady. Tien, do you have anything to add to that?"
Tien shook her head and then smiled, "except that she is adorable and you are glowing!" She smiled at her friend, Jaxon had been great to get to know over the past months.
(Pluto became conscious in cp in this post. so everything from her out he won't know and will just be fp Pluto, so expect him to be asking the baby's name, he saw she was a a girl.)
Jupiter carried the bags that looked bulky and like they might have trouble getting in the elevator down a floor he managed to hook his fingers through all of the bags and would have been able to get a last package but Hymn, picked it up. He listened and followed and then smiled as she told him where the room was, they were going in the opposite direction so he would take them back around and make it not quite so obvious that theywent astray.
"Oh, take the next left and left again." how she could solve puzzles but not know her way around a building he didn't know. The pair made their way down the halls." another left and a right. should be pretty close."
"Mmmmmm, there we are number thirty six."
He waited for the young woman to open the door. he was in no hurry it would take another thousand loads of this caliber to start to make him tired.
~~”I thought we’d already established that she had both our best interests at heart…even if her mechanisms were misplaced. I think she definitely needs a talking to, though.”
“So we did, I think that she does I suppose, we repay mischief with mischief around here.it keeps things light.”
~~”Practice.”. ”It’s just hard for me to practice. I get headaches, and it’s so hard to be bathed in the emotions constantly that I get confused and frustrated. Sometimes though…sometimes I can do it for short periods of time…and the feeling is amazing.”
“I take it that , the emotion if positive is a bit easier to deal with. I’d play guinea pig if you felt up to it. ” Not that he was trying to figure something out at all.”
~~”I’m not going to run away in the middle of the night. I promise.”
“I dunno if I’d mind now at I have decided to cuddle with you if you do.” He said playfully.
~~”I’m scared of everything.””Not knowing how I feel makes it so hard for me to trust myself with people. Being with someone whose emotions I can feel, and whose emotions effect me is always going to be hard. It’ll take a special kind of persistence and patience for me to be comfortable. Does that make sense? ”
"Hmmm. Sounds like you could use a island getaway too. That has been a personal dream of mine, I want a getaway. Somewhere quite and a bit lonely. It makes Absolute sense. persistent and patient. Good night Kealey Quinn."
Venus closed his eyes and relaxed and waited to hear Kealey's breathe steady then he would proceed to sleep He didn't want to keep waking her up with his questions and be to fast asleep for her own. He waited and then let him self rest and would drift off to sleep and dream of a spicy encounter with an Irish nun. if he only knew how sclose to reality he was.
Venus Waved her away and turnd back to try to gather up the troops, He wondered where Mercury wondered off too. an if he had had finally gotten rid of that silly shyness he had. It seemed like he could flirt and schmooze as well as the next nutcase....but no he would curl up at their feet like a guardian beast.
He slung Pluto over his shoulder.
He didn't see Jup,merc, mars or saturn. He walked up to Abyss and slid Pluto of his shoulder dropping his drunken body into the void. and the pair walked out and waited for their ride. swapping tales of the night, Abyss as usual was too business professional for his own good.
~~”Wow…”, ”I think that’s the nicest thing that anyone has ever said to me…and actually meant it.”
“Its nice to be able to prove I Mean it.”
~~”You’re a perfect gentleman.”
He smiled.” I try.” And how he was trying at the moment forcing himself not to give in to letting a tidal wave of lust and want just to crash down on her and then oh goodness, what it would be like for her to experience what he was feeling and what she was feeling, the amount of fun that that would be the intensity she might achieve.
~~”I don’t. “”Well, at least I don’t when my powers are working. That’s the problem. I can never tell if I actually want something or if it’s just the person next to me, behind me, or in the next room. Elle seemed to think that would be some sort of green light to hedonistic delight…it’s so much harder than that though.”
“She and haven’t ever been together, My brother is quite found of her so , I wouln’t” he was pretty sure he wouldn’t. “So I think , that she may have my goals a bit mixed up, perhaps she thought I wouldn’t hurt you but would be willing to take advantage of your power, or maybe she just thought that I am such a physical creature , that we wouldn’t be able to help our selves. I am almost tempted to craft some scheme to teach her a lesson. But that would just lead to more trouble. And I can hardly say I am mad at her.”
~~”A friend of mine told me that he thought one day everyone else’s emotions would just feel like background noise to mine. I can only hope that day comes before it’s too late for me, or that I figure out another way to tell. Or someone I’m comfortable enough with to let them push me.”
“hmm.” He thought about that as she continued.
~~” I’ve got hope for the first…a few years ago I couldn’t even be in a room full of people without dissolving into a nervous breakdown. I’ve learned, and I’m still learning, if that makes sense. “
“ I think that’s how it works with most of us, we have helped a lot of people get a grip on what they do and how they do it, and most of that comes with trial and error, testing your abilitie an learning to control it. They say it is like anything else practice pratice practice, but I think that is underscoring the truth of the matter greatly.”
~~, ”Are you sure you don’t want me to sleep down there? Or that this can’t work up here? I hate to put you out anymore than I already have.”
“If you are comfortable with it, I will come up there with you, but if I find you on the carpet in the middle of the night, I will just snuggle up to you.”
“Ok one more question before I actually let you sleep, what do you mean some one you trust enough to push you?’
He set up an slid under the sheets the body worth would instantly be able to cross that short distance. He had managed to reign himself in once more, what he worried about was if they woke up tangled with one another and if he would be able to not try to kiss her or something.
"I feel it too. It'll be ok, "he said to her and the repeated for the baby. " It will be ok." one hand held Jaxons and he relaxed his hand as much as he could to let her try and hurt him, it was supposed to be therapeutic for mothers.
The doctor rushed in with Tien who all looked a bit intrigued and a little tense. but they both went into professional mode imediately. "Ok everybody this will be nice and easy, no need for tension, You'll have your baby in a moment."
PLuto Leaned in and kissed Jaxon on the top of the head and soon became a pillar of calm. He wouldn't let any agitation show there even though there was something very odd going on....was his child really already a mutant as Jaxon had feared?
Was he or she enough of a mutant to have them all feeling edgy?
~~”TLC?””What kind of TLC do you give to something like this.”
“Well an Ice pack couldn’t hurt, but if you are trying to sleep those are hardly helpful, staying inclined will keep the pressure off of it. A warm showering the morning will probably relieve some of the tension.”
~~”Thank you for the compliment…though I think you must just be being nice to me…I’m sure I look a total mess.”
“no, no, a rose is beautiful in bloom or not, and you most certainly look better then any plain rose, perhaps it was better to see you first with a black eye, so I can ease into the full beauty that would be looking at your features on a normal day. And all that is simply aesthetics. I can tell that your beauty is simply the inner showing itself on the outer frame. Which makes it all the more true. And actually I can prove it.”
He rose a little for a moment getting a better view of her. and simply focused on her, he let the observation of her rule his emotion for a moment and, if his words hadn’t convinced her the feeling a pure artisric appreciation for her would do the trick. From her high cheek bones to the set of her jaw, the promising form under the covers. Her soft pink lips.
He pursed his lips and set his head down gently.
~~”I couldn’t possibly think of taking a room here. I have a perfectly good apartment that I’m paying rent on, and there are people in much more desperate need of lodging that should be taking the rooms here. I’ll be fine here for one night.”
“I would insist but I don’t want to force anything on you, but I will insist you take my number incase you have some trouble.”
~~”In fact…I should probably leave you to your sleeping…”
“Sleep sounds fine, but I’d prefer you stayed comfortable. If we got you a room just for the night it woud feel rather bare. Stay with me and if you’d prefer I can take the floor. The carpert is actually really comfy.
~~”I know that after one look at you, I wouldn’t want to test the theory. “
“I can be gentle, the shoulder message for instance.”
~~”You’re right…it was Deborah Kerr…I guess my brain is a little fuzzy. You’re Audrey collection is still impressive though. I’m glad to hear you can appreciate their cinematic value.”
He ignored the comment of bein fussy brained. “It is hard not to if you give them a chance.”
~~”Now what?”,
“hmmm, we take a nap perhaps, give the night for our resident healer to get back and see if we cant get you a get out of jail free card.”
~~ ”I’ve probably imposed on you long enough.”
“You have yet to impose, I assure you. Ms. Quinn. Though I must say for being raised in a convent you are quite the temptation,” a five candle flame smoldered for a moment before he let out a small huff. And the burst of heat settled back to simmering. “ I might have to sleep on the floor. For um, our own good.” He wanted to make a move but it wouldn’t be fair to her. “ So, how are you sure you want something for you wanting it?”
He rolled off the bed with a thud on to the walk way next to the bed. A hand reached up and grabbed a small pillow his arms crossed behind his head and the pillow set propped on them.
Another groan as the pair worked together to move his form of of the slighter man. His eyes dully focused on the green and brown world in his face, slowly the edges came together but as they did the pain in his brain seemed to go right along with it. where was he and why did it smell so earthy? Earth.... why was that so fitting of a word at the moment. why did he feel so venerable. He tried to twitch his tail...but there wasn't one to twitch. his lip curled back, whatever was going on, he didn't like it, He hadn't been the one face down from a fight since he was....twelve? the guards would ralley around him but the only reason they won was the Hydro pumps and reinforced titanium restraints...they had their fun but regretted it at the end of the day.
Where had the voices gone?
His eyes blinked as he saw a male pair of feet make there move an close on the pair of petite feet in front of them. the male feet about faced and left on the parting words of "damn you Lori Faust!" He licked a slightly puffy bottom lip that didn't feel quite right, nothing did. The lips curled back as he placed his palms on the ground and rose to his knees still very much disoriented. He watched the man pace toward the car and realized that he should at this moment be standing over the shreds of a broken man, he was winning, on top and the bigger dog... then what. He liked to the pretty little thing standing near him an winced remembering the sound of a gong. Part of him very badly wanted to back hand her, and her disloyalty, but another part wanted even more to pick where they had left off just moments ago, still another conflicted side wanted to give her a wedgie and ask the other guy for a ride home.
He placed one foot firmly in the dirt readying himself to run after the man, one hand gripping his baggy pants. but He looked at the blurred edges still hanging on to his vision and gave himself a moment there, kneeling somewhat like a dizzy knight.
Mayor Strybrome sat behind his desk his chair facing the large glass window over looking his city, he flipped through the times enjoying the peace that his secretary was keeping for him this morning, she had even go so far as to send his guards on errands, throw the wife off of his trail and the girlfriend to boot. she had said that no one would be bothering him for a solid hour. an impossible amount of time to go unplanned for such a busy man, it was invigorating, and he spent it doing what he might be doing anyhow, what was invigorating about it then? it was unobserved and uninterrupted.
Too bad for the slightly balding but exquisitely fit older gentleman that his secretary only took such liberties under a wicked woman's order. He stretched and rose from his chair and grabbed his putter out of the corner and begin to shoot a round or two of golf balls strait to the other corner and to a little hole set up to be discreet. He sighed with pleasure.
“mmmm, depends if we can find sebastion he can heal you up, but if you say garret was taking care of you then it means sebastion was ou, if you simply let it heal on its own…3 weeks to a month.”
~~”Does it look too horrible?”
“You, Look great. It looks like it could use some t.l.c.”
~~ ”I haven’t ever looked. I’m almost afraid to.”
“Nothing to be afraid of, you’re a tough Girl, it’ll heal.”
~~”So you’re a believer in fate?”
“Yup.”
~~”And you think it’s fate that I ended up in your bed tonight? Even though I’ve been pretty much nothing but rude since you got here.”
“Well, here we are, so if fate is rolling the dice like I think, then Yes, yes I do, You are in my bed due much more to fate then to that silly girl’s interesting notions. And if you are going to be rude to me you are going to have to try harder. Because I haven’t noticed.”
~~”I’m so scared. He took my ID, knows where I live. I just can’t. Thank you so much for your offer, but I just can’t…not right now.”
“Well, stay here,” He saw here expression change slightly and amended. “I don’t mean here, here…unless you’d want to. The Sanctuary has available rooms. You could set up camp while we tracked him down. I have a bone to pick with him, so it wouldn’t all be for you.” He smiled again. To be honest he might not even get to do the dirty work himself. Mercury and Jupiter might just run off and do it all.
~~”I hope you’re strong with all those muscles. It would be really humorous if you were as weak as a kitten.”
“Oh that would be terrible.” He smiled and let his head rest on the pillow, some how his head being on a pillow, made them more in bed together. “ terrible and hilarious… but mostly terrible. I suppose I could bluff and hope for the best.”
~~”I can understand what you mean. “ ”When something changes the very foundations you’ve built your life on, it makes you into someone completely different.”
“Yeah, well, I dunno, it does and it doesn’t. It definitely can, sometimes it simply changes what you are standing on. I suppose you can always embrace the change or resist, a lovely trait of choice and being able to be fickle I suppose.”
~~”Actually, Elle found them while I was changing. I’m responsible for An Affair to Remember being the movie of choice though.” ”It’s another one of those things that makes me believe in fate.” ”Are the movies really yours or are they another one of the things like all the women’s’ clothes in your closet and these guys here…”
His eyebrow rose and he let a little guilty glint in his eyes betray him. “The clothes are mine, thought obviously not for me, those” he nodded at the cuffs.” Are very much mine, though not always just for me.. an the movie taste while I might deny it, if you told my brothers, but they started out the same way the clothes did, something that was convenient but a lot of them are really good.”
“war and peace, young wives’ tale, the nun’s story, my fair lady. Though I think an affair to remember is Debbie Kerr, isn’t it?”
“Well, I wouldn’t be too hard on your self, they can very well kill each other with the voltage so at the very least, have your self do it in another body. And perhaps it is a secret eels would rather we didn’t have.”
~~“Oh,”, “if I was going to carpet bomb, I think I might use something... heavier.”
“hmmm, I can see the wisdom in that as well, I suppose it was the cats that brought it to mind.”
Abyss grinned widely as he pictured the European on the wrong side of a beached whale.
The other pair looked a bit less then enthused by Mars Pluto then lit up once again and by the time He had finished the sentence Mercury was just as enthralled.
“Have you made any pokemon forms?”
**“ ‘The harbor is nice too,’”
Again the females replied in their softer tones that probably hadn’t carried to all the way to slates ears.
But Venus replied with another baritoned compliment. “So, how did a pair of beautiful women manage to get all the way to here with out your boyfriends catching up?”
Saturn looking bored crossed to the other side of the pair and set on the railing lookin like he very well might rather fall off backwards then chat with a pair of women who would fall into Venus’s lines, though his resistance seemed to work on one just as well as Venus Flamboyant nature….apparently his mopey persona was endearing. Who knows when it comes to the female mind, perhaps it was simple math and some unseen agreement which one paired off where. Saturn seemed to be having a quiet conversation with the shier of the pair of women.
nned as she actually looked like a birthday girl. All excited and happy, the way a birthday girl should look.
“You are fascinating with puzzles by the way. It is almost a matter of time before they are simply done.”
He grabbed bag after bag of puzzles and was pleased to see that she hadn’t protested, even when she had looked around and saw the piles of bags. He carried the burden toward the sanctuary. “So, what room are you in?” ah subtle. He was quite the linguist, all nice and to the point. He wanted show her how to get set up on the DSI and make sure she knew what was going on with the games. Not that if he said it was a puzzle she couldn’t have figured the thing out.
Venus twirled Jaxon one last time and kissed her hand as she was extended all the way out their dance for the night concluded. he then inclined his head as she stretched to give him a kiss. " I must say the feeling is mutual. Tonight was particularly intriguing and fun. Perhaps I could show you a better night sometime, with out all of the fanfare this one came prepackaged with."
Venus held out his arm." allow me to walk you out?" HE then began to escort her to her chauffeur.
( I was actually thinking the same thing seeing as we only have a few more days of fp)
Pluto grabbed a bag that they had packed and now just from the change of expression on her face he knew the time had finally come. AWESOME! a month or so of healing and Jax would be able to start doing some of the stuff she had been wanting to, it wasn't like he liked denying her anything she wanted even if it was for her own good. and then there was the fact that it was baby time, maybe he wouldn't have to try to tal her into to taking it easy, maybe baby would do that for him.
It surprised him how easy it was to talk Jaxon into doing this the mutant way. in the months that their baby had been growing in t he womb another doctor had showed. one that was very beneficial to them. a teleporter. He had delivered babies with his power, and without the epic stress that went onto the bodies of both baby and momma, he first tried it on a horse, that wasn't likely to survive the birth , and bother mare and foul survived he then tried it with a human mther in a similar situation she was going to have to have a c section and more than likely wouldn't survive the healing process due to altercations. He since then had successfully done the same here. mothers were more then happy to go for the less epically painful route, besides Tien was on sight for any healing needs.
