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.

"No! Em...I trust you. I do. I wouldn't be here if I didn't," she bit her lip, closing her eyes for a moment. "I'm not afraid of what you'll do. I just don't wanna risk pushing you away or something. Maybe I blame myself for what happened, wondering what I could have done different, ya know? It's not you. You're perfect..."
Their eyes met and Skye leaned into Emily's hand, pressing her cheek against the palm. "We've both got problems," she murmured, pushing herself back to a sitting position and wrapping her arms around Emily in a hug, burying her face in the other girl's shoulder. "But we're gonna be okay. I know we are." Her hair flicked to that red-orange that Em had helped discover as she looked back at her, leaning in for a gentle kiss. "You did nothing wrong. I promise." She smiled, running a hand through Emily's hair.
This may not have been a fun hangout, but Skye still wasn't going anywhere. They were going to work through this.

She trusted her? Thankfully Emily did believe her. Which did make everything a little better. She was glad, not just because of the current situation, but she didn't think she'd mentioned Alice being into her, because that could cause some awkwardness. But Emily was only interested in Skye. Skye was special, in so many ways.
"I'm not perfect." She contested flatly.
Emily let Skye lead her back to a sitting position and blushed again as she got a good look at Skye's torso. Emily hadn't thought of somebody as sexy for a long long time. But damn...
She shivered and felt a little lifting of sadness when they kissed again. "I like it when you play with my hair." She admitted sheepishly before adding more timidly. "Making out I can handle. As long as we don't go further than that. For now." Giving an answer to the earlier question, blushing pretty hard still.
"Maybe you're not, but you're perfect to me," Skye answered softly, giving a sweet smile. She caught Emily looking at her, and saw the blush; the girl had to admit that was a bit of an ego boost.
"Good. Because I like playing with your hair," she said, leaning in to kiss her again. "Yeah, that sounds good. For now. I...I really enjoyed that," she admitted sheepishly. "Though I know you already know that." She giggled softly as a light blush tinted her cheeks and she let her fingers dance up and down Emily's back as she looked into the other girl's eyes while her other hand continued to run through her hair in rhythm.
"But, uh..." She blushed a little, looking over at her shirt on the floor. "Do I need to put that on, or...I mean...this is actually closer to how I usually sleep," she admitted with a small shrug, though she'd gladly wear extra clothes if it meant sharing a bed with Emily. Something about that just felt....right.

The compliments always made Emily feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, Skye was so sincere with her. And the fact that she knew her girlfriend was sincere with her made everything more sweet.
Emily let Skye kiss her again, tilting her head gently and closing her eyes. "It's very comforting." It definitely made her feel more at ease, especially when they'd started getting hot and heavy with Skye not having a top. It dawned on her just then, that Skye still wasn't wearing the top. And she was okay with it. She'd survived. Baby steps.
Emily gave little shivers and smiled more at Skye as her hair and back were played with, she closed her eyes again, content.
"I uhm." She stopped to consider it. Skye was honest, she should be honest. Even if it was scary, and made her super nervous. "I'm getting used to it. You're extremely attractive." She made herself look at Skye's mostly bare upper body and smiled timidly once again.
"How do you normally sleep? I want you to be as comfortable as possible with me." She admitted. Even if it meant some initial discomfort on her front, she could get used to changes.
"Good. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible, always," Skye said with a caring smile. She could feel the atmosphere relaxing, and that made things a whole lot better. She grinned at Emily's compliment, her hair turning and settling on pink again; these days it was almost always pink when Skye was around Emily.
"Thanks, though when it comes to that, you're no slouch either, hun. You're beautiful." She leaned in for a peck on the cheek. And then came the question that made Skye blush darker than she had yet, for some reason. Normally this kind of thing didn't bother her, nothing dealing with intimacy or losing clothing usually did. But now...she found herself nervous. Why?
"Well uhm...I normally just sleep in my underwear," she admitted, and then her voice lowered a little, somewhere between a squeak and a whisper. "Or naked." She took a breath.
"I'm comfortable with you," she said after a moment. "I want you to be comfortable, and if that means I have to wear a three piece suit to bed, then dammit I will," she said teasingly, but there was still a hint of sincerity there.

Her tummy fluttered again. She still got butterflies speaking to Skye, even after dating for several weeks. "I live my life in various states of discomfort, being around you makes everything better." She admitted. The pink, the emotions behind the colour made her so happy. She was pretty sure Skye was in love with her, and that made everything in life better.
She wasn't... She wasn't sure where she was on that spectrum yet, or what she was ready to admit out loud. Skye it seemed wasn't, but that was okay. The feelings were there, that was what mattered.
They were wearing equally dark blushes. "Thanks." She didn't feel particularly sexy in basically pajamas. But she guessed Skye was in less than half an outfit, so maybe it was mutual. Skye's body was also much nicer.
"Oh." Emily felt dumb. Very dumb.
"A-and you've been changing into more clothes, this whole time. So I'd be comfortable?" She looked into Skye's eyes for a few moments again before leaning in and kissing her hard, deeply again. She couldn't help herself.
"Lets compromise. I don't think I can deal with nudity right now. But feel free to do underwear, I'll adjust, just be patient with me, okay?" She whispered just after the kiss broke.
"Well, I guess I live my life from one extreme to another. But you've been my anchor since I've met you," she said with a nod. She was dancing around saying it, because she wasn't ready to, but she was head over heels for Emily. She was in love, and she knew it.
Skye nodded slowly. "Yep. I mean I have nightgowns that I wear sometimes--but only those so that's not much better," she said with a small laugh. "But like I said, if I had to put on a three piece suit to share a bed with you, I would. You mean that much to me." Their eyes met, and the next thing she knew Emily was kissing her again, deeply. She returned it, just as passionately, and when it broke, Skye listened to what Em was saying.
"Okay. You're in charge here. If something becomes to be too much, tell me, okay? I promise I won't get upset. Just don't kick me out or anything~" The last sentence was teasing, and coupled with a stuck out tongue. Then, taking a breath, Skye kicked off her slippers and slid off the black shorts, dropping them onto the floor next to the shirt, so that she was now sitting on the bed in her purple underwear.
She blushed lightly, sitting crosslegged on the bed and not really making eye contact as she anxiously awaited a response.

Being called an anchor might not have been what most woman would consider romantic, but Emily was not most women, and neither was Skye. It made her giggle. It was maybe the first time she'd made such a light hearted sound since they'd been together tonight.
Emily blushed again. "Maybe we can work up to night gowns, and then beyond that then." She replied sheepishly. Slow and steady exposure, like weening yourself off of putting too much sugar in your tea, that could work, right?
The three piece suit comment was so sweet, and made her smile so much. But Emily was well aware she was the more messed up of the two. And she'd get over it. For herself as much as for Skye, she wanted Skye to be comfortable, and if what most comfortable Skye looked like was being nude in bed... Well. Emily would get there. Eventually. Skye was worth it. Skye was worth anything.
Emily watched Skye, feeling very anxious but... Excited? She supposed she was still feeling very eager around Skye. She had such nice legs. Emily reevaluated her cuteness image of Skye a little. Sexy and powerful were also applicable.
As Skye sat back down cross legged Emily very slowly reached out until she was touching her bare leg and chuckled nervously. "Just bare with me. Okay?" She asked again, she knew Skye was being cool with it. But she still felt bad.
God Skye loved that giggle. Especially considering how the night had been going before then. That giggle was a sign that everything was okay again. "Yeah, baby steps," she confirmed, nodding sincerely.
Skye felt her heart flutter as Emily watched her, somewhat feeling nervous now, but it passed. She shuddered softly, feeling Emily's hand on her leg, and she looked at her with a smile. "Yeah, bare with you," she quipped, laughing at her own bad pun before turning more sincere. "I will. I'll be patient, and we'll make it work," she said with a nod, smiling from ear to ear.
"You're worth it. And I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you're comfortable,she reassured, leaning in and giving her a tentative kiss.

Emily was so relieved that the mood had started to shift. She still had underlying nerves charging the situation, but Skye definitely felt like she wasn't upset anymore. That was what mattered, she hated it when Skye went blue. She felt like she was failing as a girlfriend when that happened.
Noting the little shudder that went through Skye as she touched her bare leg, Emily's fingers trailed a little along them, feeling Skye's thigh and noting again that Skye was definitely a lot fitter than she'd expected. Even though Emily wasn't ready for the next step, she hoped that it was clear to Skye that she found her attractive, that on some level she wanted her.
Her other hand gently grasped Skye's waist, just holding her very gently. "Hey. Bad. No puns." She was smiling, and resisting oogling her girlfriend. Okay, she was failing, she was definitely looking at Skye's figure, lots.
Sue her, she wasn't used to dealing with attraction.
"That's thoughtful of you." She murmured absentmindedly, blushing when Skye leaned in to kiss her again. It started out tentative from both of them. Again, she was nervous about the whole thing still. After a few moments of lingering on the kiss Emily leaned closer and playfully tugged Skye back into lying down with her, taking a break in smooching to ask a question. "Are you warm enough? I can grab a blanket or turn up the thermostat."
Skye knew very well from her actions how Emily felt about her, and she'd wanted Emily too. In fact, before, Skye wouldn't have asked any questions, wouldn't have hesitated. But the caution to the wind party type wasn't her anymore. She was considering the needs of others, especially Emily. Now, Skye wasn't as concerned about going farther; she wanted it, but that wasn't the most important thing anymore. She was...relationship oriented now. And honestly, she had to admit she liked this new direction.
"Awww....no puns?" she teased slyly, noting Emily looking over her almost-bare figure. It made her smile; in fact, it made the pink flit to orange.
The mood shifted again, and Emily playfully pulled Skye down with her, and Skye giggled. "Oh, I'm fine. I'm plenty warm enough," she answered with another soft smile, her orange lights flickering as she leaned down and planted little kisses up and down her neck, occasionally nipping at the skin lightly.

Most of the time when Emily was with Skye, the latter's hair was pink, and Emily picked up all the affection and the love on and just below the surface, but she also picked up the mixture of joy and happiness which occasionally bubbled up to the surface, and that made her smile. It wasn't just love Skye felt, she was genuinely happy around Emily. Which she hoped was a sign it was a healthy relationship.
Rolling her eyes and glancing at the ceiling Emily sighed dramatically. "Okay, if you must. But only because you're cute." And then she went back to failing at not being into her girlfriend.
She hadn't been expecting the kisses and nibbles at all. They definitely set her off a little. She wriggled a little and ran her nails along Skye's stomach and back. "Are you sure?" She didn't want Skye getting sick, Emily usually didn't keep her room hot enough for... Well for nudity and underwear.
Skye sat up, looking down at Emily from on top of her, giving the other woman a fake pout. "All this and I'm still only cute?" she teased, poking her bottom lip out and putting her hands on her hips.
The nails on her sent very visible shivers through Skye, and she closed her eyes, exhaling deeply before leaning back down to trail more kisses along Emily's neck, nibbling a little more before making her way up the girl's jawline and finally to her lips. "Yeah, I'm sure. It'll be fine. Worst case I can just crawl under the covers and cling to you for warmth, yeah?" she said after breaking the kiss, then gave a sly wink before she settled down, laying her head on Emily's shoulder and nuzzling into her.
"I'm more hot-natured anyway. It's fine," she murmured.

Emily visibly gulped when Skye sat up and posed, asking the teasing question. "Uh huh." She totally lied. Skye was still definitely cute, and adorable and sweet. But there were also other adjectives that Emily was attaching to her, mostly in her head now. She'd been doing them for a while, they'd just gotten much louder in her brain since they'd started this interaction.
Emily's lips stretched into a slightly more playful grin as Skye shivered. She'd already admitted that she was not cold. Emily filed these reactions away somewhere in her brain, saving them for a later date where she might have felt more confident.
Also exhaling deeply Emily ran her fingers across Skye's head also shivering slightly as her girlfriend relentlessly kissed and teased her. The kisses and nibbles were driving her slightly crazy.
"You could do that, you kind of do that anyway." She teased. It was probably more Emily that was clinging to Skye in bed, but she didn't hear or feel Skye complaining about it, so it was hardly an issue.
Emily closed her eyes. "You're going to leave a mark." She opened them and glanced at Skye sheepishly. "Are you trying to?" she ran her hands down Skye's back, her desires tempered by her anxiety and insecurities.
"You're definitely hot something." She muttered right back.
Skye was trying to be careful, to discern by Emily's reactions whether or not she'd crossed a line. As it stood she didn't think so, but it was hard to tell sometimes. Especially in this wonderful moment that straddled the line bordering awkward. But she was trying not to cross that line. As much as she was loving this.
"You cling to me more, but I still do my fair share," she said with a shrug. "You're going to leave a mark. Are you trying to?"
Skye blushed for a moment. "No...I'm not trying to," she murmured sheepishly as she got this gleam in her eyes and her mouth stretched into a mischievous, trouble-maker sort of smirk. "Do you want me to?" She kissed Emily's neck for effect.
"So you admit it. I'm more than just cute," she continued the teasing, finding that the joking took the edge off and kept her from accidentally going farther than intended. And the last thing she wanted to do was make things weird or uncomfortable.
