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.

After leaving Hunter, Kitra strode to the vehicle bay and was presented with a tracker, one of the men told her it was a tracker for the watches....it was locked on the signal of her old watch....the one that had been taken by the Twins...Kitra gave the man a sharp nod and her eyes roamed the bay for Tris....she spotted her walking towards them and Kitra gave her a slight wave and turned sharply and entered one of the armored trucks....Tris followed and was strangly silent....but that was probably because of what they were going into.....
She was thrumming her fingers on her thighs as she kept her eyes upon the tracker....Kitra's eyes narrowed as she noted that the little dot on the screen seemed to be moving from Sanctuary....and stopped for a few minutes....the armored truck was nearing it, she motioned for them to stop the truck....and they sat there waiting for a couple more minutes before the dot starting moving again, this time really fast...and stopped a few blocks away...looking at a map she saw that it was an old subway station.....
"Go to Sanctaury and help those you can, I'm going to find the Twins." With those words Kitra hopped out of the truck....turning she looked directly at Tris, "Be careful and stick with them, I don;t want you getting hurt." Her tone was cold but she meant well....Kitra looked down at the scanner as the truck revved up and sped off towards Sanctuary...she moved quickly towards the dot's location...keeping a close eye on things...she reached the enterance to the deserted subway station....she ran down the stairs and her eyes spotted the redheaded longer haired twin....Kitra rushed to her and put her arm around her...she could feel her shake..."Whatever happened you're safe now. And we will find your sister." As she knew that as hell was breaking lose at Sanctuary she figured that the other twin had been captured, and that she hopefully wasn't dead....
Things were getting out of hand. The robots were pressing the attack even though the humans were being slaughtered. Syn could see some of her Order members taken down and being carried off. She hoped that some of the other occupants had escaped prior to the invasion.
Her brother and his clones had made and exit route and they were doing their best to cover for those wishing to escape. Syn was rushed out but before she left the building she spoted Horus staying inside daring anything to attack him. Good luck to you Horus thought the girl as she ran outside and into the truck her brother's clones had acquired.
"Alright let's get the hell out of here. We'll have to try to catch up with anyone who escaped when things setle down some. So in the mean time we need a place to hide out." Syn started the truck, threw it into gear and stomped the gas. While the vehicle was peeling out and even after it had gained traction and was heading down the street several laser shots pierced through the truck as a Hellfire Stalker tried to disable the vehicle. It had succeeded but not in an immediate result.
After driving for several blocks the engine overheated and Syn was forced to pull off into a side alley. "We need another ride." Syn pulled out the cell phone Hunter had given her and pushed the send button.
Hunter picked up the phone. “Syn, I know what’s happening,” he said quickly, “I have teams on the way to the Sanctuary now to pick up anyone who manages to escape. Can you tell me what happened, how many got out?”
He already knew the answer from Calley’s circling of the area, but it would be impolite not to ask.
((OOC: Syn, Abyss, Hunter- thought I'd start here, but if you had anything different planned and I'm stepping on toes I can easily delete or edit this post if ya want. )
Tris was mostly silent during the journey to Sanctuary, in great part just listening to one of the team leaders brief her on what Hunter wanted her to know. While Kitra had received a tracker for her old watch, Tris and one of the sergeant's were monitoring the tracking device in the phone Hunter had given Syn.
Tris listened carefully to her instructions and the threats she might face......but when they told her of the Stalkers......well, she still listened, but she had a smile on her face, thinking in amusement- what in the world can a few hunks of tin can do against people like us? ....but obviously the captain thought them worth the effort of caution, so she should be careful.
They were afew blocks from the site when Kit said to pull over.
"Go to Sanctaury and help those you can, I'm going to find the Twins." With those words Kitra hopped out of the truck....turning she looked directly at Tris, "Be careful and stick with them, I don;t want you getting hurt." Her tone was cold but she meant well....
"You're going alone!" Tris exploded.....but to no avail it seemed- Kit's stubborn mind was made up. She sighed as Kit hopped out of the truck, and a smile quirked her lips upwards as she heard Kit's parting words to her. "You either Kit........be safe!" she called as Kit ran off.
The truck sped off to Sanctuary.....or atleast with the intention of going there......the tracker that signaled Syn's whereabouts was suddenly moving.....A quick discussion with the guard captain and they decided to radio the other trucks to go ahead as planed while theirs followed the fast moving signal.
.....it led to an alley several blocks away. The general consensus was Syn, and whoever her companions she had with her, were in there.
They pulled up on the opposite side of the road alittle way away and another quick discussion was had- mostly along the lines of what little the men knew about the Sanctuary folk and notably, their extensive and some might say overzealous use of their abilities. Tris volenterred that she was probably be able to take anything thrown at them.....but she was overruled as Hunter had ordered they protect her, not the other way around. Knowing what they'd just been through might make these folk alittle jumpy, they decided to call Hunter to fill him in and if possible, talk to the women to let her know they were friendly.
Tris had her watch so she radioed in with that; "Hunter, I'm with team 1 and we are outside what we think is Syn's location gathered from the tracking device on the phone her gave her. Please advise what you want us to do now?"
(OOC: The men are all briefed on the Sanctuary members except for the new ones (Sonya, Werecat and Overcast) and so ready for their powers, or at least as ready as they can be, and you'll both have been briefed on htem as well. Also you both recieved "anti-Syn" shots before leaving. Partial defence, but not full proof)
“Hold position,” Hunter informed Tris, “wait for my signal before moving in. I want to remind you to be wary of Syn. Here abilities are tricky. You all received an inoculation against her power, but it will not stop it completely, only weaken it. Keep on your guard.”
“I’m currently in contact with Syn. Once she gives me an update of the situation I’ll get back to you. For now hold position and stay out of sight.” All of that conversation was said with Syn’s channel muted, he didn’t want her hearing about the partial defence that Gearhead had made.
Horus was still looking for the robot in disguise, but his attention went from the robot to something else he heard. Something pulled over outside, it was one of those things they called a car, at least that what it sounded like. It wasn't a strong sound, but a very faint sound. "Company more" He raised an eyebrow and focused on the robot again, where could it be? The ground started rupturing, the tapping sound did his work and his friends came up again, this time no small ones, 10 big black bluewish scarabs had made their way to the surface.
Horus was glad they showed up, but he had no clue of what they could do against this robot or whatever it was. One Horus started to focus more and more he could see a bit of a figure, "You got" He charged over to the figure and slashed into it. "Hmmm, nothing" the figure he had thought to seen was nothing, maybe just a breeze in the wind. His scarabs friends were now circling around one spot, it looked like they had found his robot. It was crawling around on the ceiling. Horus knew of Mandain his powers, ion energy, this would be handy against his opponent. Horus let his scarabs friends stay put, as he let Mandain control the his own body again.
With a headache and the faint feeling Mandain looked around where he was. "What the hell happened here" It looked almost the same at the raid at the mansion, but what this place was he had no idea. "Something is wrong with me", when Mandain took a look around he saw 10 huge scarabs crawling around. "Damn, how did they come here" he heard a noise on the ceiling, and when he looked up a robot fell from the sky with his pointy sharp claws it barely mist Mandain. "Aaaah come on" he shouted and when to battle position, if this thing wanted a fight he could get one, in the meanwhile his headache didn't reduce, but he had no time to think about that, his life was at stake.
Overcast had given up her position, but had decided to blast one last of those annoying machines before climbing into the back of the armored truck. She rode in the back of it, the lack of windows keeping her from seeing all that had happened outside. Some laser shots went through, but nobody got hurt. Eventually, however, the truck was forced to come to a stop. Syn said something about the engine overheating. They all piled out and went into a little building off an alleyway. The place seemed abandoned, but there were a few boxes here and there that made for decent chairs while they waited for somebody to send help.
And sit was exactly what she did. She pulled up an old crate and set herself down on it, trying to get into a comfortable position before doing anything painful. Once she felt comfortable she begin to tug at the knot in the shirt around her arm and, slowly and carefully, began to peel it off in order to inspect her wound. She winced a little at the pain that shot through her. The gash was a pretty decent-sized one, and was still relatively bloody. But aside from that, it looked like a pretty clean cut, now there was only the debate of whether to put the blood-soaked shirt back on it or find something else she could wrap it with, for now. Whatever she did, she knew it would only be short-term, she could do no real doctor work here, she didn't have the supplies, and she was afraid that she probably didn't have the time either. The shadow around her seemed to bubble and shift as she brooded over her predicament. She hated getting injured, and she hated that she had been dumb enough to let her guard down, that was why this had happened in the first place.

Vibe heard someone coming long before they actually entered the tunnel. She scrambled to her feet and tried to make herself unseen against the wall, but she was shivering uncontrollably. If it was the robots again, she was in serious trouble.
But the body that appeared was definitely flesh and blood, and familiar. Shaken as she was, Vibe didn't register at first who this newcomer was, until she came closer.
Kitra.
"Whatever happened you're safe now. And we will find your sister."
Vibe didn't acknowledge the hug, nor did she stop shaking. As a matter of fact, Vibe didn't hear anything she'd said, except one word. 'Sister'.
Her mind shut down, and her body followed in a dead faint.
(OOC: It's fine Tris. Your post is general enough to give us some space to play around. Since Overcast put us in an abandoned building we should be ok.)
Deciding that sitting in a stolen truck wasn't the best idea Syn and the others moved to an abandoned building where they could make another stand if need be. They could also assess what to do next and how to regain their other members. Hopefully the others escaped.
The girl looked at her brother and his remaining clones and then to Overcast who managed to get into the truck before Syn drove off. She then continued her conversation with Hunter after they felt comfortable enough to relax for a moment.
"The humans decided to break into our home and try to force us to obey their pathetic registration bill. They attacked us using some advanced robots followed by humans in military and police uniforms. I'm not sure how many escaped but as for my group we've been split up. The humans will pay for this."
“What did you think I’m bringing you here for, milk and cookies?” replied Hunter with a faint trace of humour in his voice, “I intend to have you hit back, and hit back hard. I’m getting a fix on your call, I’ll have a team there soon. We’ll keep looking for others. If anyone got out, I’ll find them.”
Muting the call once again he grabbed the radio. “Tris, you have a go, get in there and get Syn and her followers out. Back to the lab ASAP. I’ll have a team to pick up Kitra, so don’t worry about here. Just get back here.”
While waiting for Hunter to reply back, Tris and the team discussed strategy- the lot of them going in in a big group with the suited up, going to war type look was quickly dismissed, as the afore mentioned overzealous mutants might take quiet the wrong idea from this not so subtle display......So instead it was decided Tris, the team leader, and one sergeant would go in and do the talking, the rest would hang back to be called if needed and also make sure the perimeter stayed secure.
Muting the call once again he grabbed the radio. “Tris, you have a go, get in there and get Syn and her followers out. Back to the lab ASAP. I’ll have a team to pick up Kitra, so don’t worry about her. Just get back here.”
Tris nodded at the instructions- though Hunter wouldn't be able to see this so she also added; "Affirmative Hunter- will do." ........even though she was atad worried about leaving Kitra here without back up (and by back up she meant a mutant who could help her, no offense to her fine friends here though)- even for a second......she would argue with Hunter about this later, as now wasn't exactly the best time.
She turned to the men, who were regarding her expectantly. She smiled and gestured with her hand; "You heard the boss man Boys- we have a go." she said in a strong and confident voice, eyes sparkling with hidden mirth, secretly loving using all these phrases she's learned from army movies and cop shows.
.......though they did have the good sense to do some last minute planning to take up alittle time.........did want the nice folk thinking they'd been followed after all......
The men went quickly and efficiently about their various tasks as Tris and her two large shadows stepped out into the street, walking down the alley and to the door the Sanctuary residents must have used to get into the building......Tris knocked politely on the metal surface that now barred their way, the loud sound revibrating dully throughout the warehouse......
They must have looked a sight- two of Hunter's finest, big and burly solider types, decked out in the finest protective gear Hunter's money could offer....though without any discernible weaponry as a courtesy.......lead by a short red headed chick in singlet top and jeans with a bright smile and twinkling brown eyes.
"Special delivery!" Tris called out brightly- trying to get them to answer the door, knowing her voice would carry inside the warehouse despite her being outside. "We heard you folks might need a lift." she also supplied.
They all had their hands up in a show of the international 'we come in peace, we are not a threat' symbol of neutrality....... which Tris was greater happy with as it ment her hands were that much closer to aim and fire range. If they had known Tris they might have suggested she keep her hands behind her back.....but happily, they did not know this yet.
The trio waited like this for someone to peer around the door and spy them.
Mandain stood face to face with the robot, Horus knew what Mandain could do to technology, so he hoped this would work.
"Damn I could use a hand here, why am I always alone" Mandain Was trying to stay calm, he survived already one raid today, another blackout, and now this.
As Mandain raised his hands the 10 scarabs went for the robot trying to damage it in anyway, but that cause was lost. The scarabs were thrown around like nothing and crushed by the robot. "So far still on my own" said Mandain with a sarcastic touch. The robot now started firing multiple shots at Mandain, the sound it made was very loud. While dogging those shots that were fired Mandain found cover at one of the pillars that was still standing, it wasn't a great cover but for now it would do. Without any sight on the robot Mandain shot a couple of beams hopeing that they would damage and possible destroy this thread. He bit his lip and stayed confident, it was all he could do.
Peeking around the corner he saw the robot standing ready to fire whenever he would come out. Mandain looked around the room trying to be creative with the items that were near him. "A half dead plant, nah, a carpet, nope, a buffet cart, whats that doing here? Yeah ill use that" Mandain got on his hands and knees making an attempt to reach the cart, unlucky for him the robot saw his bud that was reaching high up in the air, the robot started shooting again. "Damn" he got hit in his bud, it didn't bleed to heavily but it sure did hurt. "Ah man" Mandain had a tear in his eye's, this had to end right now! As he finally reached the cart he grabbed a hold on it and pulled it to wards him, now hopping he reached the pillar where he was just seconds ago hiding. "Alright get set, you can do this, you are Forcer, you can do it" He stood firmly and thrusted the cart with him now lying on it riding across the room. "Eat ion metall scrap!" as he was lying/riding across the room he shot multiple ion beams directly at the target. All hits and it worked, the robot collapsed, lucky for Mandain it was already little damaged and didn't have its shield anymore. While the car was still riding it got to an end while it his the carpet slowing it down.
"Phew, that did it" whipping his sweat of his forehead he made his way to the golden doors, or at least what was left of them. He looked back, "whatever happened here wasn't pleasant" blood was everywhere as were bodies, blood stains, ripped window curtains, half dead plants, and more rubbish. He walked out of the doors, hoping he would find find something to get him back to civilization, but not humans, they turned against him, of too some resistance.
Kitra's hug turned into a not letting her fall grip, it appeared that she had fainted.....frowning Kitra changed her hold on the girl then pressed her watch, "Hunter I have one of the Twins, I'm heading upwards now." Kitra once again changed her grip, but this time to pick her up.....slowly walking towards the stairs then up them she finally got up back to the streets and noted that there was already a team waiting for her....she let out a faintly amused snort....she should have expected this.....Kitra carefully got in the armored truck and moved Miss unconcious here so she was leaning up against her.....
"Kitra, Tris and the others are on route to pick up Syn and the other Sanctuary mutants that got out. Our orders are to head back to the lab immedatily."
She nodded, "Let's go then." With that the truck sped off and was back to the labs soon after....Shrugging of the men's help, she got out of the truck and picked up the girl again and made her way to the infirmary.....she would wait there until she woke up, and perhaps offer what comfort she could.......
{OOC: Vibe, as soon as you are in the infimary, Hunter's medical staff will treat anyn wounds you have, so feel free to start a thread in the infimary if you like....can't wait to rp with you more.}
"Special delivery! We heard you folks might need a lift."
Is this what Hunter has sent for them? Who was this girl yelling out like somekind of cheerleader?
Syn motioned for Mars to open the door as she awaited Hunter's associates to enter. There were a couple built guys and a young girl. That seems rather odd unless there's something special about her. This made Syn even more curious about Hunter and his operations.
