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.

She found herself relaxing considerably over time, practically melting into Emily's arms; she didn't want to let go. Her voice was calming and soothing in its own right, and she slowly felt the sadness and the dark cloud that hovered over her melting away as well. After awhile, she released the hug, pulling back to look at Emily with a soft smile.
"I'm okay now. Really. I...thanks," she said, giving a light shrug as she rubbed a few stray tears out of her eyes. "You've really been a big help," she said with a soft smile, stretching a little as an awkward silence started to settle in, but the now indigo light slowly transitioned to that familiar orange glow that they'd grown so accustomed to.

Emily slowly calmed down herself as she held Skye, feeling her friend come back to normal. She felt this sort of shaky exhaustion spread throughout her body. The ordeal was quite stressful, she didn't enjoy feeling despair of any kind, and it was all more profound when it was coming from Skye.
Emily eyed her for a few moments before nodding gently. Her arms were shaking. Were they supposed to do that? Was that normal? She unconciously edged a little further back than she had been before. "You don't need to thank me, you're an awesome person and I'm not going anywhere."
The shaking feeling was in her stomach. Ugh. This had been so fun, it turned into so unpleasant. Not that she held anything against Skye, she was still almost entirely worried about her more than anything. There was now just this unease radiating through her body.
"It's a shame you distracted me, I think I was about to over take you in dps." she tried to tease but the words came out a bit dryer.

"You're awesome, yourself," she said, giving a weak smile, though she still felt guilty about how the entire day's mood had changed just because she let her emotions get the best of her for a moment. Again. Last time that happened she almost got booted out of her favorite store.
But she could tell that Emily cared about her, and it made her feel...well...it inspired good feelings, even if she wasn't entirely sure how to describe them.
She gave a smirk at Emily's next comment. "Well, I would hope so, considering I've been playing defensively and not really dealing any damage," she teased, her voice also coming out dry, but there was a twinkle in her eye as that smile stayed exactly where it was and she picked up her controller.

Emily blushed much harder than before, she was feeling... Raw? She couldn't quite put it into words, being overexposed to intense emotions sometimes left her feeling ground down. That and Skye's situation dredged up some old highly uncomfortable feelings that she'd probably been repressing the hell out of for the last 2 years.
Emily's throat felt dry. She stood up as Skye picked up her controller, turning her back to Skye mostly so she didn't see the facade cracking. "Do you want a drink?" she asked. There were bottles of cola on the desk but Emily went into one of the cupboards and shuffled things around a little bit.
"Shush you, you clearly know what you're doing." she shot back softly.

"A drink would be nice, thanks," she answered, realizing how dry and cracked her own voice had become. Her eyes sort of watched Emily as she went to get to drinks, and Skye managed to press the pause button, thankfully it wasn't one of those games where you could spawn and just keep getting attacked and dying in a loop.
"Maybe I do. I almost exclusively play these types of games," she replied. "But you caught on pretty quickly, and you've actually been doing most of the killing," she said with a smile. "While my normal playstyle is blasting with spells and dealing AoE damage, which I've done in a pinch, I've mostly just been supporting you," she explained.
"And I have no problem doing that for you," she admitted, a little bit softer than she had been.

Emily listened to Skye nodding and just letting the words wash over her, kind of taking in what she was saying but not really processing the meaning behind them. "Yeah, that makes sense." She replied back. She was glad that everything had calmed down, it made it much easier to get her bearings than if she'd been trying to do this a few minutes ago.
She shuffled some clothes and other things in the cupboard out of the way of a stash. "I wasn't talking about cola, in case that wasn't clear." her brain started catching up to the words that Skye had let out and considering them. She normally didn't play this sort of fantasy, and when she did it was normally the stabby slashy kind of fantasy.
She sort of liked that about monster hunter, it was simplistic in it's presentation and style. "Well thank you." Emily pulled a couple of glasses across her desks, poured a couple of inches of liquid into one of them and drank it in one gulp before doing the same again and topping it with cola. The shaking in her hand had settled mostly now.

"See, I can be a fount of wisdom too," she teased in an almost childish tone. And then what Emily meant by drinks clicked.
"Ohhhh, drink drinks..." she said with an almost evil grin as she got up and joined her friend at the desk. When Emily finished, Skye poured her own drink, opting to mix hers with cola from the get go.
She took a swallow of her own drink, then looked over at Emily, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. "What about you, are you gonna be alright?" she asked, her hair flicking pink as she looked at the other woman, sipping her drink. "You've been amazing to me, and I want to return the favor however I can, okay?"

"Yup. That's what I think of when I see an adorable walking rainbow. 'Fount of wisdom'" she made air quotations for the last part, and then took a few more sips of her drink. Emily was not a large girl, and her tolerance hadn't really had time to develop, and as a result the quick drink she'd taken quickly went to her head a little, she leaned against the edge of the bed and enjoyed the calm.
"Yeah, you caught me. I'm really well behaved, honest." She smiled gently when Skye moved over to follow suit.
Emily didn't quite flinch when Skye touched her shoulder, but there was a little more shrinking away from the touch than usual. "Mhm." She admitted, blushing a little at the concern and the affection from her friend. "Just keep being you. Like yourself. I do, plenty." She murmured quickly, before taking another steep gulp of drink.

"So what do you think when you see me, hmmm?" she shot back, a glimmer in her brown eyes as she took another rather liberal gulp of her drink, eventually finishing it rather handily. Whoa....maybe that wasn't the best idea, being a lightweight and all. Steadying herself, she found the edge of the bed and sat on it, lying on her back and looking up at the ceiling.
"Yeah, you're a regular purple-haired angel," she teased again, giggling slightly as she propped her arms behind her head for a moment. She blushed when Emily said just to keep being herself. She didn't know if it was her words or the alcohol that made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but maybe it was a bit of both.
"You do?" she said, a hint of sincerity in her voice as her hair flashed back to pink. "You're not so bad yourself, she quickly recovered, teasing slightly as her hair flashed back to orange.

"Whoa, this basket case is adorable and the right combination of fun and emotionally unbalanced that I might not scare her away" She shot back quickly taking another sip of her drink. It was silly but she was starting to feel calmer again. God. That interaction shouldn't have messed her up that much. Was there something wrong with her?
Honestly the buzz helped Emily ignore some of Skye's emotions, and those in the other rooms. It wasn't as bad as it normally was due to the aforementioned conditions in the mansion, and Emily was glad for it. "I am, aren't I?" she muttered without any real conviction.
Oh, that flash she picked up on. Emily snorted. "Skye, if you hadn't noticed I don't exactly like people. Most of them I hate, actually." She admitted. "If I can be around you this much without either running away or throwing up, you're definitely likable enough. Or maybe the opposite, I don't know." She was clearly rambling. The buzz was effecting her now truly and it'd been a week.
Emily remained perched at the edge of the bed and glanced back at the girl staring up at the ceiling, wondering what was going on behind her bright hair and brown eyes. "Even if you're totally the biggest moper that has ever moped." She teased now, smiling down at her.

"Hey I'm not always a basket case," she argued. "You just met me at a low point, that's all..." she murmured. "You didn't scare me away, definitely not. If anything I'm more...drawn to you," she admitted, still feeling the blush on her face. Totally from the alcohol. Yeah.
"You've got a mischievous side, sure, but that may just be the rainbow-haired devil in me bringing it out of you." She gave a hardy laugh. "Well, I hope I'm likable enough because I sure do like having you around," she admitted with another laugh.
Inside her mind, Skye's mind was wandering, just thinking on happy moments, anything to keep her mind off of the one thing that would kill her mood. "Hey, I haven't moped as much since you came along. Besides...moping ain't my style," she said sitting up for a moment then giving an audible "Whoa..." as the room began to spin around her and she plopped back down on the bed, again looking up at the ceiling. "Sat up to fast," she said with a nervous giggle.

Emily shook her head with a wide smirk. "You are a massive basket case~" She quickly replied. "And I mean that as a term of endearment. It's fine that you're a crazy person, as long as you're happy." Emily's smirk became a little more mischevious. "What, my prickly personality makes me alluring to you?"
"Nope, it's got nothing to do with a devil. It's mostly just that you're fun to tease." She shut down before giggling. "You're really fun to embarrass and tease. As long as I don't do it for two long and start getting backfire, it's a great way to pass some time." She added.
"No, I was just teasing you more, because it's fun." She added, taking another sip of her drink. Emily might actually sleep tonight, that'd be nice. She rolled her eyes. "Dear god woman, you are a lightweight." she found this whole situation very amusing. So amusing in fact that she had started giggling again. Oops, she'd better keep that under control.
"I shall have to remember to be careful with you at parties." She teased.

"I am happy, so maybe I am a....little crazy. The good kind that gets you in trouble, not the stalk your house and other crazy ex-girlfriend shit kind," she said, her sense of humor a little more dry than usual this time, but her tongue was just as sharp as it had been.
"You're about as prickly as a cotton ball," was Skye's reply as she sat up again, this time more slowly. "Okay maybe I am a bit insane, because I kind of enjoy the banter, she said with a laugh. "I know, I know. This is why I don't normally drink a whole lot," she said with a laugh. "And I'm much more careful at parties, I figured since it's just us up here, what the hell, right?" she admitted sheepishly. Another sign of trust, but then again...she'd already seen Skye on the verge and in the process of a breakdown, so she'd already seen Skye at her most vulnerable.
Standing up, she made her way back to the desk and grabbed the rest of her cola, deciding to sip on this instead. Making her way back to the pillow, she sat and picked up her controller again. "Ready whenever you are," she said with another smirk as she took a sip of soda.

Emily snorted. "That's literally what I was saying you dumbass." She was now looking up at the ceiling. It was really hard to chill yourself out when you were high strung and you couldn't ignore everyone around you. Part of the reason she isolated herself and didn't really make many friends around the mansion up until recently was because if she wasn't feeling great she could be even snappier than usual, and then that was a whole other thing to deal with.
Shaking her head in amusement. "I'm not sure that's accurate. In fact I'm sure that's inaccurate." She was well aware of how nasty and sharp she could be to interact with, she'd done a double take at her own sass when she was hanging out with Alice, initially at least.
"Maybe you just defuse me a bit." She admitted. It helped that their interaction started with Emily trying to offer help she supposed, she didn't actually speak out loud until that point either. Maybe that was it. There was also some definite natural chemistry with the two of them, she couldn't really put her finger on it though.
"That makes sense, even when I'm absolutely plastered I'm pretty good at avoiding creeps at parties anyway." Empathy not turning off and all, she could pick up the people to avoid pretty easily even when her judgement was impaired.
Emily took another 20 or so second just staring at the ceiling after Skye sat down, taking another sip of her drink and setting it down she moved over and sat down. The shaking had stopped, good.
"Well, excuse me," she said, blowing another raspberry; to be honest Skye really enjoyed the back and forth banter. It was different than what she was used to and it really showed off her wit--or lack thereof. One or the other.
"I just bring the best out of you, is all," she said with a perky smile as her hair flashed orange again. "And that's why I normally don't get plastered," she replied with a small shrug. Really the reason she didn't get plastered was because she was normally at parties to look for something else, but she wasn't going to go admitting that out loud.
With another twinkle in her eye, she looked over at Emily and hit the unpause button. "You all good now?"
