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.

Shogun had known Kaz was up in the rafters, but felt that waking up his temporary boss wouldn''t be polite. It's not like anyone else would know he was up there. He nodded in Kaz's direction as he changed back to a human. "Greetings Kaz. I believe we've already met, though only briefly." He was then interrupted by Tris, entering with her usual wit. "And hello again Tris. I would prefer it if this time, you would refrain from halting my weapons in midair." Another entered, this one was a completely new person. He hadn't even been in the meeting. Shogun put his new bag of tricks to one side, but slid the keyboard and a few grenades into his belt. He kept the arrows on his back, despite the current lack of a bow. He might be able to get one later. Something then registered. Did Hades just say he was human? No way, the man was definately a mutant. Shogun mused that Hunter probably knew, but wanted to keep it secret from everyone else.
As Shogun addressed her, Tris couldn't help but chuckle, moving further into the room while she answered;
"Good to see you as well Shogun, glad to see you are settling in... And since this time you aren't trying to cleave open a friend of mine from navel to nose, I don't believe the halting weapons in mid air will be an issue." she finished with a grin, knowing he could sense her and her expression, blind or not. There were no seating in the room that Tris was aware of, so she copied the others and took up station against an abandoned piece of wall, smiling a greeting at the nearest Abyss clone as she did so.
Another mutants came from above making a rather impression, but Mandain stayed calm as he stood against the wall. He didn't become warm or cold about the him. A rather appealing woman also entered the area asking of it was private or open, Mandain wanted to give a reaction, but on second hand he retracted the words that were almost said. Then a mysterious man or boy, Mandain couldn't tell, walked in the room, not saying any word at all and went directly to the wall with his hood covering his face. Mandain sinked in thoughts reaching for Horus. "It's getting crowded here, And I don't like them all" Calm stay Mandain, No fear, hesitation nor, stay quiet" Horus was soothing at the time. It began to look like Horus and Mandain were getting a long a bit, but not enough since Horus still had the power to take control of the body at will. Mandain started starring at the man or boy that was leaning against the wall, with his hood covering his face. The yellow eye's of Mandain now were crawling over the back of his neck, at some point this starring would get irritating, at least Mandain hoped it would. A mysterious figure covering his face had something to hide, or was darn ugly.
White washed walls.They bored her immensely by now, mainly because whenever she found herself with nothing to do, such as now, her wonderings commenced, and whenever her wonderings commenced they, the white washed walls, accompanied her. And so the white washed walls had soon been associated with her restlessness. But that was beside for point, since as she turned one particularly dull corner her mind remembered something. It centred around a rather reckless mission to capture a stalker – it sounded perfect. Having now been given a focus, Nox walked the by now rather familiar way to the training rooms, and hoped that she wasn’t too late since she seemed to remember something about a limited number of ‘volunteers’.
She opened the door and found a small crowd gathered. To her surprise she saw that Hades, the man who she had last seen after having made her way through his series of deadly traps, was there. Though from the fact he was even in the labs he was clearly accepted, that, however, made her no less guarded towards his presence; Nox was never one to forgive nor trust easily. She quickly skimmed the other inhabitants of the room, processing who, beside with Hades, had come: there was Kaz, who was in charge if she remember correctly; Shogun, who was becoming a familiar sight; seven copies of the red guy who she had caught sight of a few times; an another figure who she only vaguely remembered from the meeting the day before; two complete strangers and…and a small heat signature coming from the corner. Peculiar. Having cast a glance to realise there was no one in sight, Nox kept the fact that someone was in the room unseen in the foreground of her mind, yet ignore it for the time being since no one who wasn’t allowed din the labs got in. To insure her intent was clear she offered a question to the room “Space for another to on this Stalker hunting trip?”
Voltaire became more anxious as more and more people entered the room. He hoped that nobody would come to close and activate his ability. As he looked around he noticed that a man in a nice, black suit with a black tie was starring at him in a parculiar way. He looked back and gave him a nod. As turned his head back he noticed a woman with blond hair pass by. As he looked at her the cat that was walking around came a bit close and set of his power. A small surge from his leg shot over his chest and hit him at the cheak. By the blast he was knocked a bit of balance. He tasted the faint taste of blood in his mouth. He turned his head to the ground and spat out a some small drops of blood. He wiped the side of his mouth and said to the room:"I was hoping not to do this but, If it's ok i'll be waiting outside." And he barged out the room with a small red shock running down his arm.
(OOC: I'm sorry if i was not allowed to use "the cat" to do this =(. Will not happen again. Me is new)

Hades spun rapidly and watched the remainder of the explosion, he immediately walked, towards Voltaire but kept his distance. “Do you need help, I could attempt to make you something that if it cannot help channel your power will at least shield you form some of the explosive power. That is why I am here, to outfit you so you guys can better attack stalkers etc.”

Kami had decided that he would help in the mission to capture a Stalker. After training first with Nox, and then alone he had developed some new tricks with his power that might prove useful.
Nodding to Nox he turned to the one who had been placed in command and said, “I am ready to offer my skills in battle against our enemies.” From their he waited to see what others would say.
As voltaire entered the hallway again, a man who hid most of his face spoke to him. he said: “Do you need help, I could attempt to make you something that if it cannot help channel your power will at least shield you form some of the explosive power. That is why I am here, to outfit you so you guys can better attack stalkers etc.”
He didn't look like the person that could be trusted to Voltaire, though he did look like a scientist. "The wounds that my powers cause on me aren't my worse concerns" Said Voltaire. "The thing that i hate about it, is not being able to touch anybody without setting it off." "But we will see if i turn into your guinie pig, after this mission." he said with a faint smile. "Thank you for the offer though"

OOC: Does anyone else find it amusing that Katrina's attempt at hiding has failed due to the large amount of mutants with enhanced/completly new senses? lol
IC: Tris had a point, there. Nox came in next, and he could tell that she had noticed the small girl in hiding. Shogun was becoming glad that it was a big room, as it was quickly filling up. What sounded like an explosion got shogun's attention, as suddenly the mysterious man seemed to have unintentionally exploded injured himself, and then left. Hades followed him out, offering to make some of his gadgets. Then the energy man came in, and Shogun gave him the barest of nods. He definately wanted to see this man in action. He'd be paying attention to him, that's for sure.
Another blond woman came in, the room was filling up, maybe a bit to crowded for one mission? Anyway the starring payed of his work when the boy looked back and gave a nod. Mandain looked for a bit longer, now seeing a cat. For some reason some sort of energy surged up in the boy causing him to get a wound. "Hahahahaahahaha" "Horus shut up" Horus has found it rather amusing, but Mandain didn't care what happened to the boy really. The monk from the canteen had also joined up letting him know his powers would come to good use. Other then the energy surge nothing really happened in the room. What were they waiting for? Mandain waved at Hades, hoping to catch his attention for a second, he had something to ask.
((ooc: Yes, the cat is definitely non-exploded. Just for the record, Target Practice a usual NPC--if you want to use him in your posts to do something a kitty would be doing, that's fine. If you're going to have him do something strange or hurt him, consult me first. What Voltaire did was fine.))
Target Practice was, it could be said, not happy to have a light-show and exploding noises go off on the bipedal he was walking past. With a startled puffing of his tail, he tactically retreated a few steps to press his arched back next to the wall. Warily, he watched the man... who soon exited into the hallway. Excellent.
The little white cat with black spots here and there sat down softly, and began to groom, keeping his eyes on the rest of the group. They were, simply put, a strangely smelling group.
