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.

Seyta woke up screaming, limbs desperately frighting of the constricting grasp of the sheets in her bed. It took about a minute for her actually focus on the world around her and find herself in her own bed, in her room. She looked at her digital clock, only 6 hours had passed since she went to sleep."A dream?" Well it was one heck of a dream then. Parts of it where already difficult to remember, others where as real as the clock on her nightstand.
The pit. Everything she did there was burned into her head and for some time she sat there sobbing over what she had done, the people she killed. "It was just a dream Sey... get it together. Just a f****** dream." Best way to deal with a nightmare was to drown it out. Relaxing at a spa could do that, given the tone of the dream it seemed to be the exact opposite of the ruined world she had just left.
It took Seyta about an hour to get herself ready and to locate a good spa that would be able to deal with her mutation. Not many businesses likes mutants scaring their other customers. She did find one though and a quick forty minute walk had her stepping inside.
Defiantly a good choice, the place had a very traditional feel to it, and as she skimmed over the different packages they offered Seyta kept one eye on the hostess. The services they had where great, prices...not so much. Taking the opportunity of a phone call seyta quickly jotted down her reservation with the note "Paid in advance". Hopefully her handwriting wouldn't be noticed. Taking a seat she waited for her name to be called.
Venus woke up the moment his skin felt silk, silk that smelled of a particularly lavish fragrance worn by a woman named Cocoa. His eyes cracked open to find the ceiling of his room lit, with electricity. It happened again, he woke up from a terrible future. And just like last time something very important was in order. A hot shower.
This time though the world had be destroyed, things were hard to come by, and luxuries were expensive. It was not a desirable world. He bathed in the hottest of water until steam rose from his flesh and ever imagined ache was free of it. He wasn’t an uncle of fifteen children; He sadly wasn’t domesticated with Juka. He was three years younger and the stress lines of a world that went nuclear were no longer on his face. He was going to treat himself. He was going to the Spa!
The shower wasn’t enough. He looked down at his bed and the long legged model laying there, smiled, chuckled and left. She wasn’t what he needed right that moment. He wrote a note to her, sorry he had to go, She could call when she woke or she could stay if she liked. He dressed quickly and quietly in his oversized closet, loving every moment of indecision he had of what to wear. He left the sanctuary with pep in his step and smirk on his face, upon reaching the lobby he leaned over claimed Lisa’s hand and laid a kiss upon it. “Is there anything I can get you while I am out Lisa? Moonbucks? The usual?” He asked to a stunned and almost perturbed Secretary, who didn’t get a chance to answer before he left, She would text him if she thought of anything.
He winked, smiled and flirted his way to the doors of the Spa. He opened the doors to the best spa in town, their top of the line package left you feeling like you were floating on a cloud.
‘Hello Caroline!” he spoke to the receptionist who squealed “Venus!” in answer. “Any chance I can get in today for the works?” His eyes shot down the list of other clientele for potential. His eyes then seized on Seyta’s Name. ‘She’ll have the works to, on me.” he carefully looked around the room not spotting her, but ignoring what his mind was telling him. “Seyta? Any chance you came here, just after waking up?”
He hinted at the whole dream thing, last time it took awhile to realize the dream was shared this time however, well it was his second time around the block.
>> “Seyta? Any chance you came here, just after waking up?”
She looked up as her name was called and was shocked to see abyss, or one of his brothers, standing at the counter. "What? Oh hi..." She rolled her eyes, He wouldn't have heard that. Getting up she casually patted him on the arm, she wasn't sure if he would even feel a poke normally never mind with her mutation. "Abyss, or whichever one you are, down here. As for just waking up, yeah about 2 hours ago."
Seyta sighed and shook her head, images from the dream still racing fresh in her memory. "Had this weird *** dream. Can't get the damn thing out of my head." She grinned and leaned back against the counter.- "Anyway, didn't expect yo see you coming to a spa. Whats the occasion?" On the other hand, she didn't normally go to the spa either. She tended to save it for those special occasions when she almost got caught shoplifting something that could land her in jail on its own.
A grin came to his face as looked down to the woman patting his arm. “Venus.” He corrected lightly and nodded to the rest. “Nothing quite like the end of civilization to make you want to come to a spa and enjoy the best of what the modern world has to offer. I simply love Spas, it isn’t often you get to wear not much more than a towel and a smile while you are out.” he smirked at the thought, at least it wasn’t often for most people he assumed.
“I ended up in Jorgetown? How about you?” Venus assumed that she experienced the last future dream, if she had experienced this one. Though to be fair it wasn’t as if it were an exact science.
>> “Venus. Nothing quite like the end of civilization to make you want to come to a spa and enjoy the best of what the modern world has to offer. I simply love Spas, it isn't often you get to wear not much more than a towel and a smile while you are out.”
End of civilization? That sounded a lot like her dream. Either way at least this time she could tell it was Venus since he was the only one here.
>> “I ended up in Jorgetown? How about you?”
"Jorgetown?" Seyta was more than slightly freaked out by having Venus know things that happened in her dream. "That's kinda weird, you knowing that name... I'll take a guess that you know something more about whats going on than I do?" On the other hand stranger things had happened. She was turned into a twelve year old a while back for a day and a half. She wasn't the only person effected by that mutant, so a dream shared with people across the city wasn't too far fetched. "I was a Pit fighter..."
“Ohhh, your first time?” Venus did his best not to smirk too openly at the implication. “ It has happened before the order was working on something that would have sent the world into a mutant dominated direction, but the dreams gave away our intentions and the chance for surprise so the x’s came and wrecked the potential.” He shrugged not seeming too invested in the fact that the world wasn’t to be dominated or that the plans were wrecked.
“I saw you fight a time or two…or didn’t see you fight rather.I hadn’t realized it was you until just this moment. I was a treasure hunter. Still am I suppose.” His eyes traced the woman before him.
“I paid for the deluxe package so, whatever you want just tell them and they’ll give it to you . should we start with full body messages, I think we’ve earned them after that wretched nights sleep.”
Venus's hand went to Seyta's bangs and moved them out of her face to little or no avail.
>> “...I paid for the deluxe package so, whatever you want just tell them and they’ll give it to you . should we start with full body messages, I think We've earned them after that wretched nights sleep.”
She nodded slowly at his basic explanation. Other that the fact that he knew what she was talking about Venus made almost no sense. "Alright. You can try and explain what the hell happened last night at the same time." She gave an uneasy smile as he brushed her bangs away, odd, but not unacceptable.
>>"What would you uh...two? like to start with?"
Seyta turned to see a receptionist looking from Venus to the sheet in her hand, unable to correctly pick up Seyta without staring. She cleared her throat loudly before before speaking. "Venus here suggested your full body massage, so lets do that."/ Turning back to Venus she shrugged and followed their host. "So, This dream thing happened before?"
