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.

Emerald looked at Michael and noticed his odd optimism in this dire situation. She was used to hearing things like that from Ruby, who was always the bright and cheery optimist. The wolf girl sighed deeply, nodding reluctantly to his statement.
"I know and I rather die than give up now. But...Its so cold I can't be strong like this. Ruby could get into some trouble, though she can sorta take care of herself, but I just cant trust that!" Emerald exclaimed, tail drooping between her legs. "I...just want to be okay again. I want to be under my covers all nice and warm. ACHOO!"
The wolf girl sneezed, then started coughing again, seized into a fit of coughs. She wrapped her arms around her body, trying to keep herself warm.

"Here," said Michael, taking off the jacket that was part of his uniform, "Sorry you can't keep it, but it can warm you up for now at least." He put his arm around her and hugged her close, trying to warm her up as best he could.
"I'll keep an eye on Ruby. Both eyes, as often as I can spare them. While it's good to look out for your sister you have to look out for yourself too. You said it yourself, you can't help her like this. So, can you do me a favour and keep your head down, just for a couple of days at least? Give yourself a chance to recover."
Emerald relished the warmth that the jacket gave her snuggling into it happily. She unknowingly snuggled into Michaels arms as well, glad she was starting to warm up now. Her body relaxed a tiny bit as she stayed in Michael's grasp.
"I will...Try to keep my head down, it wont be easy but I will try my best." Emerald replied pulling the jacket closer to her. She turned on the heater that michael gave her, trying to see if that will help. "Thanks for all youre doing, You didn't have to help but you did anyways. So Thank you."

Michael smiled before saying, "Well someone's got to watch your back while you watch Ruby's. I'm happy to do it. I don't like seeing you hurt. You're the reason I agreed to be a guard, so I could watch out for you. You've got things real tough for you in here, I just want to make it esier for you any way I can."
He paused as he thought about what he had just said, just admitted. He really cared for Emerald, more than he'd cared for anyone before.
Emerald perked up when he addressed her more than anything else. Her mind started to reel with possibilities she hadn't even thought to be possible before. She was now curious as to why Michael was saying these things to her, it had been a while since someone has cared this much about her. As of late, even before the camps she was starting to get used to being alone but now it was nice to have someone actually care this much about her.
Em now looked at Michael with confusion on her face, "Michael, you care for me so much. Why is that? I am not exactly the person people go out of thier way to make sure I'm safe."

Michael couldn't help but smile at Emerald's question. "There's something about you Emerald, something unforgetable. Ever since I met you you've been on my mind. I can't explain it, I justcan't stomach the thought of anything bad happening to you."
As he looked into her eyes he couldn't help but marvel at this beautiful, strong, incredible girl in his arms. His heart was pounding in his chest. He'd never felt like this before, but he wanted to spend forever feeling this way.
Emerald was surprised to say the least as to how honest Michael was being with her. It had been a long time since she had felt anything like this. She had been Isolating herself more and more to people as of late, making it strange for her to even remotely feel this attached to someone. To tell the truth, the wolf girl was a little scared, scared of the type of inpact this would have on her. She had been hurt by people she cared for many times, espicially by males.
However, something about Michael seemed diffrent, wether it was his scent or that strange look in his eyes when he gazed at her he was still diffrent. Though, she wasn't ready for these feelings at the moment, nor would she admit to them for now she would let them flow just for this sweet quite moment in this hellish place.
"Your'e so sweet." Emerald told him, in a very sweet and caring tone, one very unlike the wolf girl. She curled up closer to him, wrapping her hand around his. "You're to nice for your own good, do you know that?"

"I know," Michael replied with a smile, "it's my greatest flaw." He was content to just sit there, with Emerald in his arms. A break from the camp that was all around them. The irony that this isolation cell had become a little haven for them. Normally prisoners couldn't wait to get out of them.
Emerald stayed contently in Michaels arms, trying not to think of the horrible world that was outside the walls but it was hard, hard to imagine a world that would be alright again after this hell. Emerald had now been to a hell like place not once, but twice, not exactly something she had wanted to do in her lifetime.
However, after moments of just sitting there, with him, her body started to lossen up, adjusting to this new feeling of calm and bliss. She had wondered at that moment if Michael felt any of the scars on her back, but brushed off the idea, not wanting to think about fusionist at that time. She closed her eyes, exhausted from the past few weeks and allowed herself to drift into a bliss filled slumber. She snuggled even closer to Michael, laying her head against his chest.
((Cue for more bliss or Bad guards ruining it. And causing a rukus making Mike protective))

Michael just watched Emerald as she slept. He smiled contently, relaxing for the first time in a long time when he heard something. Guards, coming this way. Very gently he lay Emerald down in the isolation cell. Pausing a moment to check she wouldn't wake he got up and exited the cell.
Pulling out his keys he made it to look like he had just locked the door as a pair of guards rounded the corner. "Hey, you're the new mutie guard right?" one of them asked.
"That's right," Michael answered, keeping his face neutral.
"Who've you locked up in there?" asked the other.
"The wolf girl," Michael answered.
"And where's your jacket?" the first asked suspiciously.
Thinking quickly Michael answered, "She'd got it," he smiled at their momentary confusion, "She put up a bit of a fight, so I used it as a sort of straight jacket, keep her nice and still while she's in there. Have a look if you don't believe me."
The guards took a peek in through the small window in the door. Emerald had her back to them and was wrapped up in the jacket, looking for all the world like it had been used as a straight jacket.
"Nice one," said the guard with a smile, "I'm gonna have to try that some time."
"Maybe when the weather's a bit warmer," said his friend, "See you around..."
"Michael," Michael answered with a smile, "The name's Michael."
"See you around Michael." The pair wondered off and Michael blew a sigh of relief. That had been a close one. He wondered how many more close ones he's have before this was over.
Emerald in the meantime had been snoozing contently on the floor, while the two guards came in. A little later though, after they had left, her leg twitched in her sleep and her lips were bared into a snarl. She thrashed about in her sleep no doubt having a nightmare and by the way her claws were scrapping against the floor, a bad one at that.
"Get....Away.." She growled in her sleep, but however fierce the growl sounded it still had a tone of fear in it. Emerald shrank back against the jacket, almost as if she was struck by something and let out a soft whimper. "Leave me alone!" The wolf girl barked horasly body still twisting in her sleep.

After duping the guards Michael decided to remain outside for a while, let Emerald get some peaceful slumber while he kept watch. Unfortunatly peaceful slumber seemed out of the question. Hearing a noise he looked back into the cell to see Emerald thrashing around.
Yanking the door open he rushed to her side. Watching her recoil from an imgained blow made Michael grab Emerald by her shoulders. "Emerald," he said, shaking her in an effort to wake her, "Emerald, wake up."
Emerald jerked awake, tail lashing back and forth as she scanned the room for her would be attackers. The wolf girl then saw Michael and acted accordingly, AKA wrapping her arms around him, nearly tackling him to the ground. Emerald was...distrubed by her nightmare, due to the fact she hadn't had one in a long time. So it had to be something pretty big to have the wolf girl driven randomly hugging someone like this.
"Bad dream." The wolf girl stated, body shaking from both the slight feeling of cold and the fear of her dream. It seemed to real for her liking.

Michael was caught off guard by Emerald's tackle and she bowled him over. As he fell he smashed his head against the cells wall. Handy being invincible. Offering her a kind smile Michael sat up and wrapped Emerald up in his arms.
"It's ok," he said softly, "It was just a dream. You're awake now." Stroking her hair gently he just held her for a while before asking, "Do you want to talk about it?" What ever she'd been dreaming about was clearly having a profound effect on the girl, he'd never seen her like this before.
Emerald looked at Michael apologetically, now glad that he was invincible so he wasn't hurt by the hit to the wall he endured. Em, stayed securely in his arms for a moment, allowing his warmth to flow back into her body. After he asked if she wanted to talk about it, there was a long pause, as if she was contemplating whether or not she should tell him. Her Mind still untrusting of anyone new or different.
"I'll tell you." The wolf girl replied, her voice once again hoarse. It may be that she was getting ill from this weather, which would not be good for thier current situation. "You and Ruby were laying on the ground and I was trying to protect you. It was so cold though....and the guards had taken my clothes. They were laughing when I fought back against them and I didn't even leave a mark."
Emerald clenched her fists, baring her teeth, "They grabbed me and held me down and started hitting me. I saw them hit Ruby, then you and I tried to help but it just got colder, the hits felt harder than before. The threw me around and I couldn't fight back.....I couldn't even save the people I care about."
Now this, was a change in events the wolf girl had now admited that she cared for Michael, something she wouldn't do if she wasn't shaken by this. She clenched her fists feebly and swung her fist at the wall, cursing when she felt the pain that struck it. It instantly started to swell but it looked like she didn't care.
"I was weak...I hate being weak! The cold can make me weak! They have the power to make me weak!" She growled, body shaking with anger, fear and sadness.
