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.

"Listen Mr Grizzly the only reason why I'm calling you that is because you are acting like one. And you sure as hell got the temper like one."
"Listen, you-" Rupert gestured violently at her with the water bottle, and effectively drenched his pants and a good deal of the cave floor between them. A drop or two might have hit her, too, if he was lucky at all. He stared at the water. He stared at the bottle. He stared at his pants. Then he closed his eyes, and very slowly counted to twenty. Ten just wouldn't have covered this. When he opened his eyes again, he was--if not exactly calmer--at least attempting to get himself back under control. "I am aware of my anger management problems, thank you. That's very damn observant." He made himself count out another ten for that 'damn'. "Just for the record, it doesn't usually help to point out to an angry person that he's got a temper." She sniffed, and very visibly stopped herself from laughing at him again. Deep breath in, deep breath out. "It doesn't usually help to laugh at them, either. Just. For. The. Record." Ten more seconds as a penalty for speaking through gritted teeth. "Flipsy's a c0cker spaniel, thanks." Mixed with a poodle. But he didn't need to give this girl any more ammo than she already had. For a girl with multiple injuries, she was sure in a damn peachy mood. "And Dorian King isn't a mutant. He's a good guy. He set up New York's best homeless shelter just because he wanted to do the right thing. You want to bad mouth someone, try picking a target who isn't a saint, pup." He'd gone an entire five minutes without calling her freak. Their conversation was getting friendlier.
"You named your dog Flipsy?" Emerald asked with an arched brow.
Now the young wolfess had heard some humilating names for dogs but that was by far the worst. As for the anger thing she nodded a bit knowligably.
"Okay if yout hink thats bad you have been angering a mutant for the past thrity minutes who also has anger problems but can become a rabid beast and kill you. The scary thing is about that, we are sorta alike in that retrospect, we suck at picking people as our opponetnts. I pick too girls who could have killed me and a dragon who could have made me rip up over half the police force if he wasnt such a jerk to my team."
Emerald rolled her eyes at all the water, dripping down him. She concetrated her enegery and the liquid from his pants rappidly formed into a ball in mid air, then splashed back in the water bottle.
"You picked someone who is not only like an injured wolf, but has strong allies, a over protective family and who really wants to heal. But Like I said, I wont attack you because Im not in the mood, I dont like attacking police officers and because to me you are an innocent."

Rupert appreciated having dry pants, even if he didn't fully appreciate the manner they'd been dried in. And he wasn't too keen on drinking his water now. He knew where it had been. "I don't know how you got me on your innocent list, pup," he said, settling back against the cave wall more comfortably. He was quiet for a while. Finally, he said, "Listen, do you want me to take you to the hospital? My car's close. And you seem to still be bleeding, there." He pointed a finger at her. "But let's get one thing perfectly clear: Flipsy's name was not my fault. I got her from the shelter; I've been trying for a year to give her a better name, but she won't even turn her head for anything else."
Emerald smiled at him, blue eyes twinkling with a bit of vague happness. It was nice to see she wasnt on his shit list.
"I could talk to flipsy if you wanted, maybe get her to answer by something else like Rapidtail or Flowerfur." Emerald suggested helpful.
When she heard doctor, she visibly stiffened. The wolf girl didnt like doctor's espically since one tried to kidnap her once. Doctors and Hospitals where her equivilant of hell.
"I dont do Doctors, I almost go kidnapped by one, then I was kidnapped by one. Hospitals dont like me too much ethier...the bleeding will stop eventually." Emerald replied, putting pressure on the still bleeding wound

Rupert snorted. "Flowerfur? If you get my dog responding to Flowerfur, I really might just shot you. She gets enough flack for being a poodle without being called Flowerfur. C0cker spaniel," he corrected himself hastily. "...C0cker spaniel/poodle mix," he finally admitted sullenly.
He watched her turn down his offer for real medical assistance with a frown. It was very hard to arrest a corpse. And while he was still working out the finer details of taking her into custody--not getting severely injured attempting to do it, for one, and the minor fact that a suspended officer like himself had as much legal grounds to arrest someone as the mutant herself did, for another--he was very set on not having her die in the process. It seemed like that would be proving her right, somehow. "'The bleeding will stop eventually'? Do you listen to yourself talk?" He raised an eyebrow at her. "Isn't there at least one doctor in the city that you trust?" Either she didn't make violent street brawling a habit, or she knew someone who could patch her up.

Before Emerald could say anything a puddle of darkness formed on the ground and from the puddle formed the oldest Lupin Sibling, Sapphire. The Older girl looked over at her younger sibling, and then at the human, the dingo woman put two and two together and Immediatly lunged to attack Rupert with a very sharp teddril of darkness.
"SAPPHIRE DONT!" Emerald exclaimed, causing the teddril to stop inches from Rupert's face.
The older girl rolled her eyes and seemingly drifted to the redhead. She patted her little sister on the head with a slender, pale hand.
"Why is it that when I am able to have fun with a stupid human you stop me?" Sapphire asked with a sigh.
Emerald rolled her eyes at the older girl. "Because I dont want you to go to jail cause this guys a cop."
Sapphire once again sighed. "Wolfy you and I have basically lived in the equivalant of hell form ten years od our lives, do you honestly think that prision would bother me?" Sapphire asked
"No not really, but do you think you could get me back to the house?" Emerald asked, not wanting to give away where she really lived.
Sapphire looked at her younger sibling, just noticing her horrible wounds. "Ouch, how the hell did you get those?"
"The sanctuary, some dragon guy, sonic girls and the bone chick." Emerald responded,growling as she tried to shift positions.
Sapphire felt darkness flow from her hands to bind her sisters wounds a bit tighter, to slow the bleeding. "So you fled the battle cause you were afraid you would kill someone because you were starting to enjoy the blood to muc and because you didnt want to transform infront of the cameras? Because they would have saw you and started looking for the place you live?"
Emerald nodded.
Sapphire smiled. "Wow, thats the first time you ever fled a battle little sis, but at least it was with good reason. "
Sapphire then turned to Rupert and glared at him.
"You, human, so help me if you attempt to hurt my younger sibling in any way, or report what she looks like to the police I will personally rip out your intestines, crucify you, skin you and the destroy your car do I make myself perfectly clear?"
"Sapphire why do you have to threaten everyone?"
"Because my dear sister, Im evil, unlike you who is a good girl."

Rupert had been quietly pressed up against the cave wall for most of that. This new mutant was, ah... something else. The kind of something that made him realize just how ill-thought-out and pointless it was to hold conversations with mutants. Give them enough incentive, and they’d all turn as homicidal as this latest one. Nearly getting stabbed in the face with a tendril of darkness was just the kind of wake-up call he shouldn’t have needed in the first place. But silly him, he’d been starting to think of the young wolf mutie as if it was a human. He’d been overlooking the fact that if she wasn’t as injured as she was, she’d be just as dangerous as her lovely sister here.
It had been a long day and he was feeling a like kicking himself over almost finding the pup mutie’s company bearable. That didn’t excuse what came out of his mouth next. He addressed the ill-tempered older sister, and asked calmly: “So—just to clarify—you’re going to destroy my car after you personally rip out my intestines, crucify me, and skin me? Glad to see you’ve got your priorities straight.” It wasn’t the stupidest thing he could have said.
He knew it wasn’t the stupidest thing he could have said, because he happened to be thinking the stupidest thing he could possibly have said right this moment. A word from their conversation had stuck in his mind: mansion. The stupidest thing that could have possibly come out of his mouth would have been, Would that be the Mansion—capital “M”—of mutie-schooling fame? Hell, the police have been looking for an excuse to search that place since it went public. I’m pretty sure this is enough to get me a warrant.

Sapphire rolled her eyes. "Listen, you should thank my little sis for not calling me to come to her aid, because I proably would have put two and two together alot quicker and you would have been dead right now. She just saved your life, you will have to return that favor some day. You owe her." Sapphire growled
Emerald sighed, dark blue eyes focusing on her sisters. " Be nice, he was just trying to help, despite what it looks like. You know if we got dad in here maybe he could tell him how to be nicer to mutants."
"Or if we got mom in here she could beat the hell out of him with an Ice pick." Sapphire reponded.
"We arent killing him, he did nothing wrong. Besides he seems troubled, maybe you could get him something to eat or something."
"Yea I will make a hotdog out of darkness that will taste like burnt toast."
"Big sister."
"No way I'm a mutant of class and I dont sink that low." Sapphire retorted. "Besides you need medical attention, maybe I could get Reginald to try to fix you up."
Just as Sapphire said that a little Robotic Monkey scurried out of her pocket and onto the floor of the cave. It Scurried over to the Dectective and made a happy face, squeaking at him. It then scurried over to Emerald and the started to scan her wounds.

"...Okay, I'm not even going to ask what that thing is," Rupert said evenly, rubbing at his temples. Of one thing he was certain: it was not a robotic monkey. No. It just wasn't. He was going to convince himself of that fact if it was the last thing he did. "Hey, Miss Deaththreat, we agree on something: your sister here needs to get some real medical help. I’ve got a car. Or… you’ve got that ‘appearing from the darkness’ thing,” he wiggled his fingers as he said that last bit. “Whichever. She doesn’t look so hot. Can you take her, or do you want a lift?” He turned to Emmy with a grisly glare. “And you—would you stop being so sympathetic? If you haven’t noticed, I’m not the appreciative type.” More of the yelling type, really.

Sapphire rolled her eyes at Rupert, tail making an apperance and wagged back and forth.
"My sister is always this way, she has my fathers kindness towards people diffrent then them. Me on the otherhand, I just dont like most people unless they find some way to like me. Or if they are family." Sapphire responded.
Emerald looked at Sapphire. "Well you could take me back to the house. I actually trust the doctor there, but it would be best to travel through darkness. I dont want anyone of the family to think Im some kind of traitor for leading mr grizly there."
Sapphire sighed, nodding a bit. "Right....so what do you want to do cop, want us to give you a lift to your precint or whatever?"
((ooc: And this is me, remembering what account I'm logged in as. Ah, well.))
Rupert’s gaze tracked the new girl’s tail. Back and forth, back and forth. Seriously. Two stupid-looking, tail-wagging, man-killer dogs. There was a reason the general public avoided this forest.
“I think I can manage to find my way back on my own, thanks.” He replied. “You get her fixed up, all right? And while you’re at it, try breaking her of that kindness thing. You’ve got it right,” he nodded to the new girl, “there’s no reason to go around trusting people. Especially people who aren’t even the same species as you.”
Emerald let out an exasperated groan. "Oh Come on Mr Grizzly Im sure when the time comes you will value the fact that you were nice to me." Emerald smiled, "In you Own....bear like kind of way."
Sapphire rolled her eyes. "Oh How sweet I think I am gonna puke up someone else's heart." Sapphire growled, She picked Emerald up along with her bag.
"You sure you dont want to get my sister to do anything for you Mr grizzly?" Em asked

Rupert just shook his head at the pup, then glanced at Sapphire. Yeah, sweet enough to puke. Agreed. Though that 'someone else's heart' bit had him a little worried.
"Here's something: how about I get a promise that she won't come back and gut me once she's finished dropping off you? I'd just as soon skip any crucifictions or skinnings, too, if it's all the same." Just because he agreed with the new girl's sentiment didn't mean he particularly liked her attitude. Or trusted her to let him walk out of here alive.

Sapphire glanced casually at Rupert a smile on her face. She put Emerald down for a moment and walked over to him, dark black tresses swaying back and forth. She kissed Rupert full on the lips before a dark teddril pushed him away.
"You have a fourty minute head start." She smirked, picking Emerald back up. Reginald scurried onto her shoulder before they all disapeared into a dark hole.

((ooc: LOL! I love you, Sapphire/Em. Really, I do. Heart.))
Rupert stood stunned, and a little dazed. And not entirely in a bad way. Right up until her words sunk in.
“Well… I love you, too, I guess.” He said. And then, in one of the wisest moves he’d done that day, he turned and ran. It was approximately a twenty minute drive to S.W.A.T. headquarters. He wasn’t quite sure if Miss Kiss-and-Threaten was joking or not. Toss New York traffic into the mix… and he had a sudden urge to be back in his car. Now.
