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.

"Ok I dont think the sentinels are government issue. Ive done some researching and com up with the only corporation whos resources enable them to spend that kind of money so wastefully. Besides the government doesnt operate in the open like that they try to hide and cover everything up so its not even their style. The only corporation with that kind of power and knowledge is Weapon 0." guaging her reaction he took another sip from his mug.
...are you sure? i guess that doesnt surprise me, but government money has to come into play somewhere.. *tricity questioned, taking a sip from his mug.*
"Touche' however the Governments not directly involved or even m,ay not have any knowledge of whats happening here. Theyre unwittingly aiding criminals. Theres no real way to bring this to their attention as mutants or even the media. Theyd shut it down too quick. I think me and another powerful mutant need to take out the facility. Unless you can think of a beter way.
ok badass, but you cant go with the just the two of you and act all big and bad. destroying the facility isn't the best idea for now...so dont go off and do anything stupid, ok? *she said, snuggling up against him and sighing.* look, we'll talk about it more tomorrow. right now, i just wanna sleep. *and with that, tricity fell into him so comfortably, she was asleep within seconds.*
Chuckling to himself he thought of how much the work she has been doing lately and leaned his head forward and kissed her head. As he set his mug down to pick her up to take her to the bedroom he saw the ring he gave her on her finger. He cracked a smile so big it threatened to split his face wide open. As he gently put her in bed and limbed in after her hepulled the thick quilt up over them and decided to be there when she woke up in the morning. Maybe hed take her out to breakfast. If they woke up in time for breakfast.
Awaking late in the morning they decided to skip breakfast. After coffee and cuddling for a bit Orion mentioned that today seemed like a day to snuggle in and watch a movie on a warm couch. Tricity agreed with him so they decided to go rent a movie or two, get some snacks and watch the movies at the mansion. For some reason the morning had been cold and rainy so Orion tossed her one of his hoodies. He watched her slide into it. He always loved the way she looked in his clothes. Asking her what vehicle should they take she replied with. "Have you got anything quiet?" his simple one word reply did not come as a suprise. "Uhhhhh" was all that he managed to get out before she continued for him. "I figured as much, well lets take the quietest one youve got then." Orion shrugged and they made their way into the Vehicle Chamber. He picked the keys off the wall to the black Viper sitting low and sleek just behind the big Dodge. Getting in she looked at him funny when he started it. Holding up one finger he asked her if she remembered the date to that fancy restaurant. A smile spread across her face and she asked him how could she forget. Reaching up he hit a toggle switch and the car became fairly quiet. She smiled at him again and settled into the seat for the ride. Steering the long sleek car out of the Cave and onto the black top he turned on the car windshield wipers and the heat a little sseeing as it was a cold, raw, rainy day. They headed toward the city without encountering much traffic.
Piloting the Viper in he parked it behind the big Dodge and hopped out and hung the keys on the wall where they belonged. Stripping off his shirt and tossing it over the chair in the Main Chamber as he Crossed into the Training Chamber. Releasing a ball of chaos into the ground he started as he always did. Af ew jagged spikes jutted up here and there.
His goal in training simulations usually is to stay airborne for the entire time because this works on his agility which is to low for his liking. A very brittle sort of rock began to emerge from the floors and walls and suddenly the ceiling. These rocks could be broken by a quick strike. So Orion began to strike these jagged rocks as they jumped out in front of him while he was jumping around. Given the fact that he was making short work of what was jumping out in front of him he threw another ball of chaos into the ground. This caused everything to double in speed. This meant his reaction times would have to be faster and his aim better. This wasnt really a problem seeing as it was his usual routine for a workout.
After some time he threw another ball into the ground doubling the speed again. He soon felt his knuckles getting raw and sore. Knowing he would go get his sword later he continued and got used to the speed. Now the jagged rocks were lashing up at an alarming rate and in every which directing instead of just straight up or out, or even down. After a short amount of time with this speed he thought it was time to get a sword. Landing at the edge of the room he walked into his armory room while leaving the Training room in full swing. Choosing a particularly powerful looking Katana he strapped it to his shoulder and headed back into the Training Chamber. Jumping into the mess again he landed on one rocky out cropping to find out this stone wasnt britle anymore this was regular stone again. Smiling he leapt from it and dove through the air intending to land on one, halfway across the room. His plans however were quickly interrupted as a particularly spikey fragment shot out of the ceiling at him. Cursing in mid air he swung the katana hard and cut right through the stone. The stone was sent downward with great force. It landed sticking straight out of the floor. Landing on the flat part his sword just made he leapt again and continued this form of training for quite some time. then for the last ten minutes he dropped another ball of chaos into the ground. When he was finished he landed smoothly at the entrance to the Chamber and tossed over his shoulder a ball of Order. the whole room shut down and became just a stone chamber in a cave once more.
Wandering over to the stream in the back he stripped and dove in. The cool water engulfed his body and he stayed under for a minute or so enjoying being semi-weightless. Swimming over to where he kept the soap he noticed that he was getting low. He figured hed grab a bar from the mansion for then next time. Lathering himself up good he dove again and proceeded to rinse himself off. Gettin out of the stream he ambled over to his Personal Chamber and got a glimpse of himself in the mirror. The first thought that hit him was 'I gotta Shave.' So grabbing the razor and a particularly wide bladed hunting knife from the Armory Chamber he went down to the stream and started to shave, using the hunting knife as a mirror.
Finally he was shaved and clean. Standing up again he headed to put everything away. Hanging both blades back in his Armory Chamber he then meandered back into his Personal Chambers. Grabbing a T-shirt and a pair of black cargo pants he dressed and then grabbed his boots and started to think of something else to do. Wandering out into the Main CHamber he lit a fire and started to thumb through the book that had been in the chair he had thrown his shirt on earlier. Not finding much new he closed it and replaced in into the book shelves on the back wall. Noting the 'Dragons Breath' sword leaning on the wall by the fire he thought of Chaos and what he was doing. Wondering what he was up to. Deciding that he would give back the sword shortly he picked it up and pulled it out of its sheath. He could tell that it had been in battle recently. He decided to clean it up a bit for Chaos. Going into the Vehicle Chamber he extracted two rags and a metal polish. He spent his time applying the polish and getting into the crevices and corners.
Leaning it by the fire to dry the polish he washed the shop rag in the stream and hung it to dry on an outcropping. Heading back to the fire he picked up the sword and began to buff off the polish and detail the blade. Once this was finished he let the fire light glint off it and admired its beauty. He remembered making it for Chaos. His minds eye saw it again. The glow of the forging fire the smell of molten metal and and pounding the metal into a shape then bringing it to a telepath to sharpen it.
Still watching the fire light glint off the metal and remembering forging this blade he suddenly get yanked back to real life. The cell phone in his pocket startes vibrating and ringing. Sheathing the blade he pulls out his phone and opens it. It was Tric wondering if he wanted to get together. Orion said hed love to and grabbed his chainmail jacket and a helmet as he stepped into the Vehicle Chamber. Hopping on his hayabusa he gunned the motor to life and whipped out of the cave down the dirt road to the street.
Pulling into the Vehicle Chamber and parking the bike in its spot helmet and keys back where they were supposed to go. He stood in front of the garage and decided that hed take his old Charger out for a spin today. Hopping in the car he twisted the key and the motor roard to life. Archon had made his way into the Cave at this point. Orion opened the passenger door and Archon leapt in. Closing the door he patted the big wolfs head. "Were just going out for a ride, pup." he informed the animal. Archon settled down into the seat and kept his head up above the dash so he could see. Pulling out and onto the dirt road he made his way toward the city not sure how he was gonna clear his head in the city but it was in his gut to head this way. The big supercharger stuck out the hood and before the rain got inside the engine Orion hit a switch on the ceiling. This closed the flaps on the supercharger and didnt allow rain inside.
