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.

~"I would have to say the choclate one with the choclate sprinkles in it. quite simply becuase choclate is forever in the favor of women, so perhaps that is the only one I could be?"~
At Venus's quite suave comment of chocolatey flavoured favoritness, Tris couldn't help but add in a slightly off hand comment kinda way; "Ya know, I dont really care for chocolate..." with a smug smile. This statement was insane of course, she loved chocolate...just thought it was funny is all.
Unfortunately after her alluring and insinuous alone comments, the waiter came into view so Venus couldn't think up a suitable x rated answer as Tris has no doubt he wanted to.
~He opened his mouth to reply when he saw the waiter coming with the food, " I will dine on you...with you I will dine with you!"~
Though what he did end up saying as the waiter came up, spreading their food out on the table in a pleasing array, was just as good as any sly and smooth he could have come up with as far as Tris was concerned, and Tris had to muffle an unladylike snort of laughter at the hastily ammended statement. The laughter danced in her eyes, but all she said was;
"Mmmmmm, this looks tasty." refering to the magnificent feast set out for them.
~Yes, you do, it does…you do, Yes.” He was going with a rephrasing theme and kept with it, though he shifted back to his original “slip” this time. How clever.~
Delighted amusment danced across Tris's eyes at this, and she chuckled warmly, before poking her tounge out at the red man.
~Venus unrolled yet another napkin this time loosening his silverware, “what do you think you are going to start with, me, I think, I will start with the chicken.” ~
Tris blinked, pasuing for a moment as she heard this- with all the innuendo going round, in her mind the last question had asked "what do you think you are going to start with... me." but then he went on and it turned out the statment was an innocent comment about chicken....though with Venus you never could be too carefull.
....but anyway, on with the business of eating. Tris placed her napkin delicately on her lap, got hold of her knife and fork, and dug in to the pasta with a expression akin to the bliss of the true food lover trying a delightful delicasy for the first time.
"So." Tris broke the busy eating silence; "Might as well do alittle more 'get ta know you' stuff....cause, well I likes it and its fun....So, favourite person, power, and place you've ever come across?"
~“favorite Person? Have you met a kid named Calley? He is fun to hang out with, seems like he knows how to appreciate the lighter side of life. And that is of course excluding present company, I dare say I could find you easily outing him for the number one spot, I can’t say I typically go around ranking people.~
Tris listened attentively, her ears perking up at the mention of Callie. She smiled as well; "Yeah, he seems okay, dont really know him closely though." she added. "Though I do believe he pelted me and kit with rubber bullets one day- and they hurt." she did a mock pout and sigh for speical effect.
~ The power of persuasion is handy, though it would take all the challenge out of life. Teleporting could be fun. The mischief you could have with that. X-ray vision wouldn’t hurt right about now."~
Tris stared down Venus- knowing exactly what he was up to as he was starring at her, the delightful personality she was making it impossible not to do acouple of 'sexy'- I'm ready for my close up now, look at me look at me poses for his inspection before she stopped, unable to continued as she was laughing too much.
~"For the last answer I have to say that it is more of a place in my imagination and a bit generic that I have to say that I would like to go, I can picture it in my mind. A waterfall with a small crystal clear pool around it, the only sound would be the wild life. A small cabin nearby with the necessities and the simplicity to lay back in a hammock or on a lawn chair or heck even on a towel and relax. That sounds like it would be my favorite place to go. As far as places around here there is a club called club evolution that is probably shut down but it is nice little haven in the city.~
Tris quietened down alittle as Venus gave his answer for the last one- she'd expected like a club where the 'babes' never quit or the playboy mansion or something....this was so much better.
"Thats sounds amazing." Tris agreed, before adding with a wink; "You might have to take me there some time."
She then scooped up another bite of her pasta, the fork pasuing before her lips as she went on, a twinkle again in her eyes, her gaze holding his as she said; "Oh, and since I feel sad about the no x-ray vision thing.......black....satin and lace.....with a purple tie strong bows.....just to help you out." a wicked smile on her lips.
...before popping the bite of pasta in her mouth ad drawing her eyes away as if nothing had happened.
~Venus smirked “ I was looking for birth marks.” He then raised an eyebrow.” But note taken, I am I any closer to finding out for my self?” ~
Tris acted shocked....though she wasn't particulary, as Venus said was would be looking for birthmarks if he indeed had x-ray vision.
And before he could take off on another subject, she quickly shot back; "Not if you are going to abuse your powers like that." with a smirk of her own.
~ “ I will have to ask Calley about that I am sure there must have been some sort of misunderstanding.”~
Tris realised she hadn't told the whole story about that particular incident then, rushing to correct herself with; "Oh, no worries- Hunter told him too." then realising that only made things sound worse, she ammended; "It was a obstacle course....I signed myself but for it, for I only got me to blame."
Venus then got onto the same question he had asked her, ~“What about you, Person, place and power? I warn you if you answer anything I like too much I might have to whisk you away without haste.” ~
Tris laughted again, glad he could make her laugh- as of late, she hadn't seemed to have much of a life, just training mostly.....this a good break from everything.
"I better not have an extermly interesting answer then....wouldn't want that." she winked at him, teasing him back.
Ummm person, hmmmm, I've met sound fairely cool people at Mondragon labs- you being one of them." she smiled. "Gotta love my Kit and all......but favorite person would have to be Hunter." she got that kinda glazed, awed look in her eyes; "I mean, he's just so awsome- so concerned about mutant affairs and helping people out, and he's...well kinda scary, but he can be so kind too, really good at listening- making you feel like someones actually heard you for a change. He found me, reucsed me, helped me with my powers...." she trailed off, realising she was doing the boring babbleing thing again. "Ookay, power- well, I like mine, but gotta say, alittle jealous of all the elementals out there. Would be so fun to have complete control over an element....espically air- knock some sense into some people....ummm, Telekinesis would also really fun. And I'd love to be a telepath- know what everyone was thinking, though I doubt I could handle it......well, I guess we could see- what are you thinking right now Venus?" she said with a chuckle. "And place......*a big grin at a memory* a beach- with white sands, towering cliffs, a breeze that will knock your socks off, and intricate and isolated coves to explore." She bite her lip to keep from running down the list and detailing her place, simply adding; "And this ones real.....Do you like the beach Venus?" a faux innocent comment attached at the end there.
~"zephyr wouldn't happen to be the one you would like to see with a bit less of a smug look on his face would it? there is a bundle of fun."~ he said in a dry sarcastic tone.~
Tris looked alittle surpised that Venus would know who the elusive second in command of the Kabal actually was, but well, maybe Venus didn't know all that, maybe that he was just in the Kabal, but still, she reacted with surpise, and then a smirk for him that he guessed who could possible irk her so.
"Ha, yes- Zephyr the arrogant, chauvinistic sod, how did you know?....We ummmm, we crossed paths afew times, he threw darts at me, I stole his bike, he tried to make a building come down around my ears, I froze him style of thing." Her eyes heard the twinkle of hidden laughter all through this, just daring him to ask about it.
She took another sip of her wine....all through dinner her glass had been continuously worked on as it was filled and refilled. Tris had a vauge feeling she shouldn't be revealing anything about the Kabal to anyone- no matter the insignificant detail.....but what could be the harm in telling Venus huh?
~" and for the record I don't think I have made any attempt to hide what is on my mind.beg to differ? I think the beach could be fun, white sand and cliffs sounds nice, and I bet that we could find the place I am after as well if we looked long enough. I could enjoy white sands with you, I have heard there is a place in the Philippines with pink sand. crystal water, but there are also some dangerous fish in the area."~
"Nice." Tris whistled approvingly, completely ignoring the intentions comment. "Well thats settled- it seems we have an appointment to go on hoilday....maybe even find this favoured place of yours." She continued, smiling brightly.
~Venus nodded pleased with their holiday, "it sounds splendid. the vacation that is.though I have to wonder, how well you organization is running if you are constantly under attack from those that are supposed to be working with you." ~
Tris shrugged, very careless about the whole thing; "Ehh, its all for our own good I suppose....and it keeps you on your toes."
Venus was eying the now empty wine bottle in a perspective manner- ~"you want me to order another bottle?"~
"Ahhhh no." Tris laughed; "Cause if I'm not careful, you'll be pouring me into my bed......" She glared at him for asecond; "And no that is not an option."
~" I met him a couple times we actually cleaned out some protesters out front of the sanctuary together, and I got to know the aspects you mentioned of him as he infiltrated us, I guess hunter was trying to feel out our organization before he sent his request for alliance."~
"Ahhh right- so you know what I mean, arrogant jerk that he is." Tris nodded her understanding as Venus filled her in on the Zephyr connection, before she grinned with a wicked expression as a thought came to her; "I bet you wouldn't mind as much if I wanted to infiltrate your organization." she purred.
Tris watched as Venus payed the bill without a second thought, a cheeky expression combined with a mischievous tone asked; "Sooo....now what do ya wanna do?"
~" well if it helps I intended on merely sleeping with you opposed to sleeping with you.~
Tris looked slightly sceptical at that, but the next comment proved Venus back on form.
~ Though my hands might wander a bit while we rested." "I couldn't say I would mind that in the least though I think infiltrating your organization sounds a bit more fun." nope no innuendo there, none. " well if you still are opposed to me pouring you into bed, then I suppose I will have to keep you out a bit longer. We could hit a club if you are up for it, A movie if you would brave the dark with me for an hour or two. A walk in the park if you want to brave a lot more than that, we could start packing for that vacation. Its ladies choice."~
"Hmmmmm." Tris said softly with a considering look. "Those choices all sounds rather inviting." she said with a sultry smile. "Though since it is ladies choice- I wouldn't mind the idea of that niteclub....That way if I get bored of you, I can simply find something more enteraining.....and if not, you might indeed find yourself doing some pouring." She chuckled quietly; "Sound like a good deal?" said asked with a raised eyebrow.
Tris stood up and held out her hand for Venus to take, waiting for his desicion.
As they walked back towards the elevator, arms linked again, Venus reavealed some suprising information.
~“ I know this is a bit odd to say, but we have been followed.” He stated before she became alarmed and dangerous. He then said with a laugh. “No, it’s not all bad I know the six of them. You see I can only stray a certain distance from Abyss before I disappear, plus the other guys complained that if I got to escape that cramped hole then they should be able to as well. a fair enough argument, we are have been stretching the boundaries and I think that we might be able to stretch the distances a lot more, but I didn’t want to risk simply disappearing on you particularly when driving.”
Tris listened attentively to Venus's confession; "Well that was rather considerate of you." she commented with humour as he said he didn't want to dissapear on her while driving. She didn't tease him much more though on this particular subject, her quick gaze noting his shifting stance and expression, did that mean he was nervous or embarrassed about telling this picece of news? Best halt teasing till she knew more.
~“So, if you are still game, I can give them a call, we can head to the perfect little club I have wanted to check on it since the bill, a cool old man runs it, his name is brain freeze, its called club evolution, you heard of it? I doubt he would have let anyone get close enough to it with bad intentions, in fact I bet we will find a bunch of free mutants there as well.”~
"Yeah, I'm still game." she assured, then rolled her eyes in an exaggerated manner and groaned; "Though it means I'm gonna be the girl in the all boys club." she sighed heavily and grinned to show her dramatizing, and winked; "Though I guess the 7 of ya aren't exactly enough to scary me off."
Venus took this as an affirmitive, taking out his cell and calling his fellows before they contined on to the elevator.
They got in and all was silent for awhile before Venus got his wicked look again and his hand started wandering. Tris smiled a secret smile as the lifted halted mid floor. She looked at Venus; "Hmmmm, we seem to have stopped." she commented, her tone surpisingly without censure, just a statement of fact. "Did you have something you wanted to let me know?" she questioned teasingly.
Tris....had a feeling she knew what was coming, and it turns out she was right.
Venus leaned in on her, planting a hand on either side of her frame. She didn't say anything, just stared at him staring at her as he hovered in closer and closer with that slight secret hint of a smile she could do. She was in the moment of course, well defiantly, why wouldn't she be...but Tris being the girl she was, she did take a split second or two to consider her options.....but as it turns out, she ended up closing her eyes too as their lips hovered inches from each other before their lips finally touched and met and parted and met again. Her hands slid up to the back of his neck and rested there as they made the most of these moments.
However as time passed, with slight reluctance she pulled away, sighing, and pulled the same trick she'd pulled back when they'd first met. With a flick of her hands she froze him in place- alittle easier since Hunter had been in her head but still taking a good amount of concentration.
She leaned her head back against the wall as she looked at the frozen statue standing only inches from her; "What am I going to to with you?" she asked softly, a definite undercurrent in her tone, thought expecting no answer, which was a good thing as none came from a frozen statue. She slipped beneath his arms and stepped out and around his person, going over to the elevator controls and depressing the button to get the lift moving again.
The lift reached the ground floor and conveniently as the case turned out, the doors 'pinged' and opened as Venus unfroze.
She was leaning against the wall near the elevator controls at he noticed her, giving him a wink, but in an innocent voice said; "Oh look, the ground floor."
Venus reacted well to her little stunt as far as Tris could see- he didn't get angry or exasperated, he simply seemed to enjoy the challenge, big bonus points to him there, cause lets face it- she was a damn tease and it would take alot to put up with her.
As they walked out into the foyer, Tris got a very pleasant surprise- the concierge walked up, chocolates and a beautiful bouquet of black and purple roses in hand.
She thanked the man in delighted gratitude, exclaimed over the beautiful and interesting coloured roses.
She retrieved the note, and laughed out loud at the note-
:Watch out he is going to try to kiss you in the elevator!, Ack, too late, you poor girl.:
Tris stepped up to Venus, going on tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek and whisper in his ear; "I do believe I owe you a thank you kind sir."
~“Do you know how to drive manual? And if so do you want to? It’s a fun machine.”~
Tris grined; "I do," she answered delightedly; "and I do.....and what did you have in mind?" she stuck her tongue out at him.
~“ I don’t know just thought you might enjoy getting us from her to the club, you have been cramped in that place just as much as I have.” ~
Tris didn't particularly agree that she was 'cramped' up at the sprawling mondrangon labs that, since the registration bill was passed, had been her own... but, she also didn't wanna argue with the oppertunity to drive hanging tantalizingly just out the door.
"Fair plan." she commented, even though he stuck his purple tongue out at her. She followed him to the car, barely able to contain the skip in her step as gleeful smile plastered itself on her face.
They arrived outside, and sure enough, there was the Red Mitsubishi, and there behind was a white hummer inwhich all the clones were crammed. One of them waved at the couple, and Tris smiled and waved back, before sliding into the drivers seat as Venus had opened the door for her.
She buckled her seatbelt and inserted the key in the ignition, started the motor and listened to it purr.
Venus got in and started programing the GPS, Tris rolled her eyes silently at the little polite voice that came out.
~“just try not to loose the boys.”
She snuck a look at him and grinned an evil grin; "Now wheres the fun in that." she stated as she slide the car into gear and pulled out into the traffic. She deliberatly chose the opposite dirrection from which the GPS lady said, and started increasing her speed, heading for the freeway. "You dont mind if we take alittle detour do you Venus?" she asked in that same annoyingly innocent voice.
The car jumped in acceration the slightly bit as Venus's hand shifted to her thigh- her supirised reaction, but other than that she did nothing about it.
`“ You got anywhere in particular in mind?” he asked as they worked their way to who knows where.~
Tris smiled, though didn't take her eyes off the road; "Somewhere isolated and deserted where we can see what this beauty can really do." she hinted, taking the turn off that would take them to the outerlimits of the city and towards the same old warehouses as her joyride with Zephyr's bike, planing to do a lap of the place, dogde through afew alleys and then take them to the intended destination of the niteclub. Looking in the rearview mirror, she was pleasantly surprised to see the white hummer just behind them- they were keeping up quite well, though Tris wasn't even trying yet, she didn prefer bikes, but was a fair hand at manvuring fast veheciles through tight spaces. ...she wanted to see if she could lose em...not by a long shot obviously, as she didn't want her date dissapearing on her, yet she did wanna see how well they'd chase her.
~“Isolated, deserted and we are going to see what you can do huh? Sounds nice.”~
Tris smirked but didn't look at her passenger, instead forfeiting for now her end of the conversation to instead drive at very fast speeds through traffic and not get them caught or killed.
She sped through yellow lights, raced down narrow lanes, and swerved around corners without dropping too much speed, but without rolling the beautiful car either- which was a plus.
And with afew more turns offs, she was there- warehouse district (deserted at this time of night), wide lanes spreading out the length of acouple of football ovals, with large construction type buildings and narrow lands leanding off these wide fair ways.
......now Tris had some room to move. She looked across at Venus and laughed at his expression; "Bet you didn't expect this when you got up this morning." she grinned, then let out a woop of joy and slammed her foot back down on the gas- and once they flew with a jolt.
Tris grinned, enjoying the feeling of flying so fast past the blurring scenery- if she hadn't had her mutation, which she loved, Tris knew she would have wanted to fly.
After she got board of the beautiful straight and narrow, she reduced speed alittle, veering off down a narrow alley, and another, and another.....coming out into another wide lane and speeding up again, enjoying this dizzying maze, and wickedly wondering whether the 'boys' were too.
.....she slowed down slightly again, returning from her happy speed induced concentration and looked over where the quiet Venus should be residing. That was should because he had somehow disappeared......hmmmm, Tris had somehow managed to lose her date- that was vexing.
She sighed and pulled over to the side of the road, thinking to call the guys and ask if he was with them suddenly or something.
While still reviewing such thoughts as whether she should call the guys, then wondering if Venus's phone would be directed to them if he didn't answer as she didn't have their phone numbers, and also the fact that up till the losing her date part- this had been one awesome ride, a familiar white hummer lumbered its way up to her car.
Grinning, she waited as they pulled up beside her, not daring to roll down her window for the danger of them hearing her chuckles at this ridiculousness and rib Venus about her mirth at a later date.
~“Loose something miss?” Jupiter said to a rolled up window. Venus exited the care and gave a light shove to Jupiter. Walking around to passenger side and entering.~
She smirked at Jupiter, though not knowing if he could see it, but as Venus returned to his former place in the passenger seat, before he coul get a word in edgewise she practically flung herself at him, throwing her arms around him in a tight embrace, apologizing into his shoulder in a muffled voice that still didn't quell her incredulous mirth at this situation; "I am sooo sorry Venus, I ummm, I guess I didn't realize you weren't kidding about the brothers and closeness thing."
~“Now wouldn’t that have been fun if I was driving instead?”~
She laughed at his comment, pulling back but still with her arms linked around his neck; "Weell, ya might not have gotten a free hug out of it." she said with a saucy wink and attitude to match.
~Jupiter leaned in the car and then back out, “where are we going from here?” Passing along the question from Mars.~
Jupiter brought her back to where they were actually supposed to be going tonight and away from the moment she'd just been having with Venus.
"Oh um, to the niteclub I guess.....yes- to the niteclub boys.." and after a pause and a winked grin, she added, making to get out of the car; "And dont worry- Venus is driving." she laughted at that.
~Jupiter spoke with a begrudging fondness as he entered the car smiling at her joke.. “bah, let the speed demoness, keep her red horse.”~
Tris burst out laughing at that comment, she turned to him and gave a mocking bow as he returned to his seat, saying in a joking tone; "I am honored by your confidence my lord."
The clone was the driving (Mars, but Tris didn't know that) yelled something indistinguishable about getting a head start this time, Tris chuckled, but knew she would behave this time, they wouldn't have to worry.
Venus picked her up as if she was no lighter than a doll, depositing her opposite from where she had stood- she giggled. Venus, despite his brothers urgings, didn't particularly want a repeat performance of her driving tonight.
The hummer crawling away slowly, giving them some space.
Venus leaned in, as if for a kiss, but instead he blew a light raspberry on her face. Tris jumped, slightly startled at the unexpected, before laughing and swatting him lightly with her hand; "Eeewww." she teased softly, pretending to be grossed out.
~“Your driving scares me.” he announced with a smile on his face. ~
Though what he said caused that teasing smile to fade from her features. Somehow the words seemed to mutate in her brain, going from 'your driving scares me', to 'you scare me'- which had been said to her before, allowing people to get close, then it turned out they couldn't handle it- cause she was scary.....the comment just cut alittle uncomfortably close to home is all, but she mustered up a tight lipped smile, and conjuring a bored tone, saying offhandedly; "Well, I'm a scary person I guess......not many people can handle it.......probably not even you." taunting him before turning away.
