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.

Emily didn't feel like it was fine, she felt like any and all of their problems were hers. Skye viewed herself as broken, but she was a strong, vibrant person. Emily chided her when they met about all of her sulking, and how tying her happiness to a girlfriend was all kinds of stupid. But she was so totally projecting.
Look at her, she'd messed herself up so badly as a result of Kendra, and now she'd tied herself to Skye just like before. And she really didn't want to mess it up. Or hurt Skye.
Emily felt a slight shift in Skye as they kissed. Her face felt damp. Were those tears? She fell back onto the bed a little and pulled Skye with her, still kissing her and not remotely eager to let go.
"Please don't go." her voice was barely a whisper, hovering just beyond Skye's lips.
Things may not have been fine in the moment, but they would be. They had to be. Skye would never forgive herself if she did something to lose Emily or otherwise ruin things with her. Her hair and lights turned purple, though thanks to the kiss, it probably wasn't that noticeable; Skye'd realized she hadn't gotten a chance to pull her shirt down, which would potentially lead to even more awkwardness when it came to light, but as it stood...she was lost in the moment.
Skye didn't know when it happened, but she'd been practically clinging to Emily as they kissed, and when Emily fell back onto the bed, even if it was just a little, physics took over and Skye went too.
"I won't, Em. I'm not going anywhere," she answered, her voice just as quiet as a stray tear rolled down her cheek, though there was a soft smile on her lips. "I promise," she added before closing the slight distance between their lips again, her hair going back to that soft pink glow as she closed her eyes.

Emily's hands had come to rest on Skye's bare back, clinging gently as she parted in the kiss, feeling Skye's tears gently making contact with her face, her own waterworks seemed to increase in volume. "I'm so lame." She murmured. She'd made her girlfriend cry. More than once, what was wrong with her?
Then Skye kissed her again. It made everything a little better. Her hands both gently ran down Skye's back. She was sad, and she was happy. She was excited, and she was terrified. Why were emotions so complicated?
She closed her eyes too and kissed back softly for a few more, much more intense moments before parting again. "I'm sorry."
"No. You're not. We're both just working through some shit, that's all," Skye answered, reaching out and wiping away a tear from Emily's face. The hands on her bare back made her visibly shudder as they kissed, the sadness fading away the longer they were together.
Emotions were complicated; something that both girls knew all two well, from two different points of view. This kiss was much more intense than usual, and it sent more shockwaves up the rainbow-mutant's spine. When it broke, Skye was slightly winded.
"It's fine, Em. It's nobody's fault. Just a misunderstanding," she murmured, looking down at her and letting one hand run through Emily's hair, fingers gently brushing the other girl's cheek. Skye had grown quite fond of doing this, and it made her smile as she leaned down and kissed Emily's forehead.
She looked down at her girlfriend, a slight blush tinting her cheeks as she realized their exact circumstances, but she shook that off so as not to ruin the moment. "Em. I think you're an amazing person. In fact, that's what led me to fall for you in the first place. And don't you forget it." She smiled.
"I've already told you. You're not getting rid of me easily." Her lips stretched into a cocky smirk as she topped her comment off with a wink.

Emily nodded very gently as Skye wiped a tear away from her cheek, smiling very slightly. Emily noted dimly that Skye had been practically topless for a good minute now and she wasn't freaked out. If anything her hands were enjoying touching Skye's bare skin. And she was also noting that Skye was very fit, much fitter than she'd realised, her hands were definitely exploring a little.
Shivering slightly as her hair was brushed and another kiss was placed against her skin Emily murmured. "I'm so glad you can't sense what's going on with me sometimes." She leaned her head into Skye's shoulder gently.
Emily's cheeks flushed in crimson at the compliments. "I know you fell for me, but hearing you say it outloud gives me butterflies in my stomach." she replied very sheepishly.
Emily listened to her words again before leaning up and kissing Skye one more time, much more deeply and passionately than before.
Skye's negative emotions were washing away, one by one as each second passed by. Seeing Emily sort-of smile eased the tension even more, and then she felt the other woman's hands roaming her skin and her eyes closed slightly, just barely looking down at Emily through her lashes. "Can't be any worse than you seeing what goes on with me," Skye murmured back, giving a slight shrug.
Emily leaned her head into Skye's shoulder, and Skye leaned into it. Seeing that Emily seemed comfortable with their current situation, she relaxed considerably on that front as well. She was still unsure of what to do there, but...she wasn't going to force anything either way.
"Well, I did. I fell hard for you, Hun. And...given the choice I'd do it all over again," she said just as Emily leaned up and kissed her again, and it didn't take an empath to note the increased passion and intensity. After a moment, Skye leaned back, her hair and lights now very firmly settled onto pink as she took a breath and tossed her shirt to the floor before diving right back into the kiss.

Emily shook her head very lightly. "No, you're fine. You're intense but there isn't really anything wrong with you." She soothed gently. She really believed that, Skye had just been through a rough breakup. Everyone was vulnerable to those, Emily truly didn't believe Skye's issues ran that deep. Skye was fairly emotionally healthy as far as Emily was concerned.
The Brit hung on Skye's every word, getting all watery eyed. Damn, Skye really cut down to her core with very little effort. The kiss was nice. It was... Electric, Emily had not experienced anything like this in such a long time. Most of her kisses and cuddles with Skye were just affection and kindness, there wasn't passion like this behind them.
As Skye finished taking off her shirt Emily froze for a moment, hesitating but only very briefly, taking a quick breath and getting back to kissing Skye, her hands now running up and down all over Skye's back.
"Thanks, Em..." Skye murmured at Emily's words. For the longest time, Skye had thought something was wrong with her. Her powers seemed and her emotional intensity seemed to go hand in hand, which was why she'd had so much trouble controlling her powers at first. And yet...that also helped her to control them. If she could manage to focus, she could get those happy, positive, non-boom-inducing emotions when she needed them. And nowadays, Emily was her anchor for that. When she'd needed to light the way for the team on her last X-mission, Emily was where her focus was.
The kisses were different than Skye was used to with Emily, and to be honest, she liked this side of her. Deep down she hoped she wasn't pushing her into something she didn't want to do, but at the same time she trusted Emily to let her know. In fact, when Emily hesitated, Skye had paused, waiting for the other girl to stop her. But she didn't.
Instead she felt hands running up and down her back, and her eyes drifted closed. "I don't know what I expected when I came over," she breathed with a small smile. "But I don't think it was anything close to this."

"I mean it. There isn't anything wrong with you. You're special, not broken." She whispered, gazing up at the beautiful woman above her with a mixture of affection and awe. She really didn't know if she'd ever met anyone as intense as Skye, and that was part of what she loved about her most.
Emily flushed crimson red again. "I expected snuggles." Her voice was very quiet, much more timid than it usually was, none of the usual teasing edge. She was nervous, slightly uncomfortable and excited at the same time.
Emily stopped to plant a couple of small kisses on Skye's neck, her hands trailing up and down and softly dragging her nails across Skye's bare back. She was very glad that Skye was wearing something under the top. It was like a buffer. A barrier from this progressing further than she was ready for.
She planted a few kisses on Skye's neck and jaw before kissing her on the lips again with a fire she'd not felt... ever, really.
"Normally I would argue that I can be both, but...I'm gonna take your word for it~"
"I expected snuggles." Skye flushed beet red as well, though her hair and lights didn't budge from their current state. At the kisses on her neck, coupled with the nails gently raking against her skin, Skye practically collapsed on top of Emily, unable to hold her weight up anymore. She shuddered feeling Em's lips trail kisses up her neck, and her jaw, before meeting her lips again.
She hadn't felt such a fiery passion from Emily before now, but it was a feeling she herself was familiar with. She had to admit she liked seeing this side of Emily; it was new, exciting, and refreshing. But at the same time....there was this nagging feeling in the back of her head. Almost a fear she normally didn't have when it came to this kind of thing. But...it was there. And for once, Skye was...unsure. She knew how she felt about Emily but...were they ready for this? Really?
She pulled back from the kiss, deciding to defer to her girlfriend on this one. "Should...should we stop?" she asked, looking down at Emily and biting her lip as her mind and heart raced.

Being an empath in a loving relationship was all kinds of rewarding. Just having that extra layer of feedback to your partners affection was so warming Emily couldn't really get over how much she loved being with Skye. She'd forgotten what it was like to get passionate with someone too, she was comfortable with Skye. She was attracted to Skye, this was special. But terrifying.
She felt Skye's apprehension, and as she did she started to slow down, to calm down. Emily really wasn't used to dealing with libido. She'd only ever really been into one other person, and her intimacy issues had kind of compounded everything else to the point that she hadn't even thought of a situation like this one in a long time.
When the kiss parted Emily was breathing heavily, and her pulse was absolutely racing, she took a few moments to process what Skye was saying. Skye was afraid of something. Was it her reaction earlier? Had she messed things up again?
"I- I don't know. Maybe? I-" her voice was caught in her throat. She knew she didn't want Skye to leave. Would stopping make her want to leave? What should she do.
Skye looked down at her, nodding. "It's up to you. I mean...if you want to, we can...keep going," she said softly, noting the other girl's body language and tone. She was conflicted, and there was a fear there. Maybe it was time to come clean. She crawled off of Emily, sitting next to her and folding her arms across her chest.
"I'm...kinda conflicted," she admitted. "I want this. I really do; you have no idea." Then she snorted. "Nevermind. I'm pretty sure you do. But...I'm also kind of...apprehensive? I know, that's weird coming from me, all things considered. But...I'm afraid...like what if things change afterwards? I don't want us to go downhill or grow apart or anything..." She looked away, the lights turning purple to show she was nervous.
"We can still hang out either way. Even more of...that. God that was..." She looked at Emily with a smile, then took her hand, lacing her fingers with the empath's. "We'll figure this out. I do know I enjoy every second we spend together. And that's not gonna change."

As Skye spoke to Emily, and the words brought upon mental images and thoughts of what followed she felt a little involuntary shiver run up her spine. "Part of me definitely wants to." She definitely didn't feel like she needed to elaborate too much on that, even if Skye couldn't pick up on emotions Emily's passion was pretty obvious, and Skye had been responding with her own.
Emily's arm shifted as she rolled over to place her arm across Skye's stomach, gently holding her. She still needed the contact. She listened, closely.
She didn't want them to... Wait what?
Emily had assumed it was her fault. Her hang ups, her fear that was causing the problem, that was causing Skye's hesitation. Was she lumping Emily in with her ex? That kind of hurt. A lot. She did her best to not let it show on her face.
"Wait. Skye do you think if we sl- If we-" What the hell was wrong with her? Why couldn't she say it? "If we carried on, do you think I'd lose interest or leave you? Do you think I'm like your ex?" Okay, there were tears welling. So much for hiding it.
Skye leaned into Emily's arm, and then she spoke, and Skye felt her heart sink.
"What? No! I wasn't--I....Em, no. You're nothing like her..." She felt tears welling up in her own eyes. "It's just the last time I...did this...er....with a girlfriend...things didn't end well," she looked away, the lights fading to blue. "I'm sorry if that's what it sounded like. I didn't mean--"
She let the fingers of her other hand trail down Emily's arm. "I'm an idiot. I was thinking maybe I'm cursed or something. I don't wanna fuck this up. That's what I'm afraid of. Fucking up." She looked down at Emily again, another tear rolling down her cheek. "Emily, I...I l--I care for you. Deeply. I'm sorry." She shifted, lying down on her side, still looking at her girlfriend, her cheeks tinted a deep red as she bit her lip.

Emily's own face twisted in pain and discomfort as Skye spoke. She knew she was right. The trouble with sharing a bed with someone as an empath is that you got to know them a lot more than a regular partner, and Emily felt the instant shift and discomfort in Skye. She'd hit the nail on the head there, Skye was afraid she was going to behave like her ex, on some level.
She took several shaky breaths. "You basically just admitted what I said. You're afraid because of what happened last time, you're afraid I'd do the same thing she did." The pain was visible in her face.
Emily looked down for a few moments, not meeting Skye's eyes. A little shiver ran up her arm when Skye touched it and she looked back at her girlfriend's eyes. "I know you do." She touched her girlfriend's face once more, staring into her beautiful eyes and taking another ragged breath.
"Here I am thinking you're freaked out by my reaction. Because I'm the one with the physical intimacy problems. You're thinking about something else entirely." This was not a fun hangout, but she still didn't want Skye to leave.
