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.

The sound of quiet voices steadily chipped away at Vibe's consciousness. None of them were familiar to her, nor were any of the other faint noises in the background. Light faded in and out of shadow in front of her eyes.
"Her blood sugar is down to one-fifty-two."
"Let's keep it there for now. We don't want it to drop too low and send her into shock."
"It's a good thing she had that pendant on."
Vibe shifted slightly, and reached for her throat, where her necklace should have been, the one matching the one around Amp's neck. It wasn't there.
And neither was her sister....
>Amp....<
Silent tears began to form, and made their way from between her closed lids, down her cheek, staining the pillow beneath her head.
Pain began to make itself known as her body caught up with her consciousness. Had she been able to moan, she would have. Instead she winced.

A pool of darkness formed on the floor and out rose Sapphire, but she wasnt exactly in mint condition. The young woman's face was scratched up, her fingers and knees were bruised as well as her arm being in a make shift sling. One of the Doctors who wasnt working on Vibe looked over at Sapphire, almost scoldingly.
"Now Miss Lupin you know you arent supposed to be out of bed, you are still damaged from when you fought off those guards," The woman paused. "I know you where trying to help your sisters by breaking into a swat team residence and mutilating an entire team just ot get answers on thier location but if you die they wont get your help. Please try to listen to reason and rest."
Sapphire glanced at the woman calmly before a Teddril of darkness formed out of the ground and brushed her aside. The twenty two year old walked over to Vibe's bedside scanning the girl to see what was wrong. The first hting was the fact she wasnt with her sister, a thing Sapphire often noticed when she was around town, the two where virtually inseperable.
Oddly enough, right now Sapphire felt as if she was having sympathy for the other girl, actual sympahty for someone who wasnt her sister. Sapphire glanced at them and then back at Vibe with blue eyes filled with odd sympathetic feelings.
"Hey...Umm....you guys need anything? Cause I will go kill someone for it if you need me to." Sapphire stated, "If she can talk tel her to tell me who I can kill to make her feel better."
Kitra had just gotten back from speaking with one of the docters and had noticed that a) She seemed awake and definitly in pain....b)She was a diabatic.....c)Sapphire was back to the labs and apparently had her sisters kidnapped and was ready to do more damage.....
"Hello Sapphire. I would ask how you were...." Kitra gestured towards Sapphire's cuts, bruises and slinged arm....."But I think you probably did more damage then they did to you." She looked over at the young lady on the bed and walked over to it and held out some tissue. "I know it isn't much, but we'll do what we can for you." After she took the tissue, Kitra reached into her bag and held out a sketchpad...."From what I've seen and haven't heard, I do believe that you cannot make any sound? I was hoping I could get your name perhaps." Kitra smiled, "It's easier to know someone's name then to have to go 'Hey you' all the time." She knew that she must be hurting, after all....aren't twins supposed to have an even closer connection then most sibilings? Plus, she was pretty banged up...."I know we got off to a bad start last time....perhaps we can start again?"

"Hey...Umm....you guys need anything? Cause I will go kill someone for it if you need me to." Sapphire stated, "If she can talk tel her to tell me who I can kill to make her feel better."
"I'm sorry Miss Lupin,"[/i] one of the doctors replied instead. "She has no voicebox. She isn't capable of speech." A faint look of irritation flickered in Vibe's unusually dull green eyes. She glanced up at the new arrival. She looked familiar, but Vibe couldn't place her just yet.[/color]
"I know it isn't much, but we'll do what we can for you."
Another familiar voice and face appeared. Vibe blinked slowly, and took the offered tissue. Slowly, and painfully, she sat up in the bed. She wasn't hurt too badly physically; a few bruises here and there, including a ring around her neck where the Stalker had grabbed her, a cut here and there. The worst was a slash across her thigh, where her skirt had been torn, also by the Stalker. Mostly she was simply drained from power overuse.
But the worst pain was the hollowness inside. She'd never been this far from Amp, so far that the faint ringing in their bones that they shared was gone. She felt.... empty....
"I was hoping I could get your name perhaps. It's easier to know someone's name then to have to go 'Hey you' all the time."[/i]
Vibe looked at the sketchpad dully. After several moments of motionlessness, she reach out and wrote her nickname down. The pencil felt heavy, and 'Vibe' was the easiest to write.
"I know we got off to a bad start last time....perhaps we can start again?"[/color]
Last time? Last time she had been with Syn and Abyss, and that creepy Horus guy, and the hyperactive kid that called her 'Grumpy'. And Amp.
Vibe shuddered slightly, and pulled her knees up to her chin.

Sapphire rolled her eyes at the doctor, a dark teddrill reaching upwards from the ground, pointing threatnigly at his face. The thing looked as if it was poised to pierce through his skin and kill him. Sapphire the waved her hand and it faded away from the trembling Doctors, face.
"I don't appreciate being told what to do, not by you or by anyone. Even if she doesnt have a voice box I am sure she appreciates being talked to." Sapphire responded coldly.
This showed that the young woman was not in a vary, pleasant mood. Her sisters had been taken in the raid, she tried but failed to prevent them from being taken to the camps. She was cranky and she was willing to take it out on these hair brained doctors.
Sapphire glanced at the name written down and nodded. "Good to see your alive Vibe, the name is Sapphire Lupin. Want me to kill the doctor? I will if it will make you feel any better."
Now while this sounded like a gesture of friendship it seemed that the dingo woman had full intention of killing the doctor for any reason she was given.
But thats Sapphire for you, crazy and sadistic on the outside but, odlly caring in a freakish kind of way on the inside.
"Good to see your alive Vibe, the name is Sapphire Lupin. Want me to kill the doctor? I will if it will make you feel any better."
Sapphire Lupin? Why did that sound familiar?
Vibe glanced over at the cowering doctor. Apparently this darkness-weilder carried out her threats. Vibe shrugged at the question and looked away. She didn't care. She didn't care about anything.
Actually, that wasn't true.... She did care. She cared about tracking down those mechanic monstrosities and turning every single one of them into scrap metal....
Vibe clenched her fists until the knuckles were white, and her nails were digging into her skin. A water glass on the nearby bedside table rattled slightly.

Nicki walked around the labs a little, looking from side to side. She was a little overwhelmed by the size of the place and she felt much like she did when she had just come to the Mansion. Part of her thought she shouldn't be wandering around on her own but that was neither here nor there. Kaz was with Hunter and Nicki couldn't find Nail or Katrina...so it was wandering time.
Nicki stumbled upon the Infirmary and shrugged, deciding this was the next place to visit. She had already seen the library so the infirmary was probably the only other place she had to be able to locate.
Pushing open the door, Nicki looked in. She had no time to take in the sights before she immediately noticed someone she knew on the bed. Nicki approached Vibe, looking down to her.
"Hello Vibe, my name is Kitra." She frowned slightly as Vibe pulled her knees to her chest and seemed to become even more withdrawn....She chuckled inwardly at Sapphire's comment then sat down on the bed to give Vibe a hug and stopped abruptly as the bed starting shaking....then the water glass on the table next to her bed.....Kitra spoke gently, "Vibe?" And looked up slightly startled as Nicki entered the room...at least she thought it was Nicki if she remembered correctly from this morning....
Vibe didn't move her body, but her eyes glanced over. She remembered Kitra, and her power.
She stiffened slightly as the girl leaned in to hug her. She wasn't expecting it, considering the last time she saw Kitra they hadn't exactly gotten along. Correction: second to last time....
Vibe?
The redhead looked surprised for a brief moment, as the word seemed to echo. Actually Kitra's voice had overlapped with another in her mind. Vibe looked up.
>Nicki?<
It had been ages since she had seen the brunette teen, or at least it seemed that way considering Vibe's short attention span. In fact, time was on a tour, with Kaz and Abyss, planning pranks on their friend's new girlfriend, until they realized she was a sort of telepath.... the day after a food fight with Abyss and Isabel.....
A vague image of the ribbon-wearing Isabel flashed though her mind. She had been fighting the Stalkers as well. What had happened to her? And to Syn and Abyss, and all of the others?
Then empty feeling inside her magnified, and she shrunk in on herself. She tried, but couldn't completely hold back more tears. The comfort zone she had built around herself for eighteen years had been stripped away, leaving her stinging and vulnerable. It was an awful, sickening feeling....

Nicki moved over to Vibe, putting a hand on her shoulder carefully. Nicki smiled momentarily at Kitra, whom she had just recently met.
Vibe! Are you okay? What happened to you?
Nicki was actually very happy to see Vibe. Vibe was used to talking to people in with her mind so she had no walls around her, making Nicki more telepathic than she ever would have been. But as happy as Nicki was to see Vibe, Vibe was probably more; Nicki didn't see Amp around so Vibe had no voice. Hard to get answers when you have no way of asking the questions.
(OOC: hope you don’t mind Nox coming in, but I wanted her to get involved in the plot)
Nox had been aware something had happened – people were scuttling off to places far more purposely than before, and there was a lot more commotion going about in the otherwise sterile corridor- but she had still no idea what it was. Unlike the others she wandered the corridors mindless, with none of the determination others who past her wore, vaguely she supposed she was trying to uncover the source, to find out what hob been the catalyst to stir the silence of the labs. Her search eventually lead her to a steel door, not exactly uncommon here, with the words infirmary to one side. She knew this was the centre of a least some of the current action, and to be honest she had nothing better to be than to follow up on her curiosity. And so she pressed on the cold metal door and entered.
There were four people of interest in room as well as more scuttling doctors in the back ground. They were all crowded around one young lady, who has tucked up with her knees to her chest on a bed. The others, none of which she had seen before, were around her, clearly trying to comfort the girl in some way, who looked like she had been through a lot. The others weren’t without injury, however, and it was clear something big had happened, which she had managed to miss entirely. She figured she was in the dark here, and possible therefore not appreciated but she was far too curious now to just let everything slip. Taking on a different approach from her usual coolness, she decided offering help wasn’t a bad way to begin. “Hey, Anything I can do to help?”. She moved slightly further into the room, not too far, but enough so she wasn’t lingering awkwardly in the doorway. She really hoped they wouldn’t mind the invasion, and that she might find some of the answers to her questions here. Deciding an explanation concerning her presence was probably owed she spoke again, “ Something has clearly happened, but I’ve been in the labs the whole time, and so I’m completely in the dark, so do one of you mind filling me in?” She hoped she hadn’t interrupted anything, but if she felt her presence wasn’t appreciated she would pick up on the hint and find answers elsewhere.
Kitra eyed Nicki curiously as she went up to Vibe and was going to say something when another arrival cut her short....Kitra turned and faced her to answer the girl's question and spoke in a toneless voice, "Basically, this is what has happened in a rather short period.....All the safe Havens for mutants have been attacked....at least the ones that are known to the public eye anyway." She shrugged, "All those that have escaped are being offered a haven here. A resistance has been formed and there will be a meeting as soon as everyone arrives.....Hunter will debrief us there."
Kitra's mind was racing, 'She must be part if the Kabal....hmm Hunter must not have been able to contact everyone to let them know the current situation.....What will be everyone's roll....How will I fit in....What can truely be done....If anything I want to get Vibe's sister back......And get my hands on whoever created those Stalkers......Zelek'......Basically her mind was reeling with questions....and her emotions where like a roller coaster on the inside....but anger was very evident along with the sadness and determination....

Vibe! Are you okay? What happened to you? Vibe leaned into Nicki, as if seeking comfort. For once she wasn't worried about the girl reading her thoughts, but instead was grateful.
>We were attacked....< She couldn't bring herself to describe what had happened, but her mind replayed all of the images unhindered, up until that last glance Amp gave her. >She's gone....< She had no idea whether her sister was even still alive.
Vibe clenched her fists and buried her face in her arms.
“Hey, Anything I can do to help?” a new voice asked. Vibe was so out of sorts she hadn't even heard the woman approach. “Something has clearly happened, but I’ve been in the labs the whole time, and so I’m completely in the dark, so do one of you mind filling me in?”
"Basically, this is what has happened in a rather short period.....All the safe Havens for mutants have been attacked....at least the ones that are known to the public eye anyway. All those that have escaped are being offered a haven here. A resistance has been formed and there will be a meeting as soon as everyone arrives.....Hunter will debrief us there."
>A resistance?< Kitra's words brought Vibe out of her self-pity for a brief moment. The malice in her mental voice was obvious. Hurt and empty she may have felt, but that didn't mean she'd lost her sense of revenge. If anything, it had doubled. If her sister was alive, then a resistance meant that Vibe could get her back. If she wasn't.....
The glasses on the bedside table rattled ominously again.

Nicki was amazed at how affectionate Vibe was being; the Twins had not taken to Nicki when they first met, but this was a whole other ball game. With Amp not being around, Nicki might be the only person who could communicate what Vibe was saying. It must have been so hard for Vibe to be apart from Amp: not only was someone taking away her sister and twin, but they were also taking away Vibe's only voice...let a lone to have the whole thing done be force.
Nicki wrapped her arm tighter around Vibe. Don't worry honey. I know you're scared but we'll fix this...I promise... Nicki tried to sound comforting as she thought her words. Nicki didn't know what Amp's state of being was, but Nicki had to trust that the girl was still alive. There was a raid at the Mansion as well and no one get seriously hurt...
Nicki looked over to the others as well. "A resistance?" Nicki asked, voicing her own questions as much as Vibe's.
Nox’s minded reeled at the news, no wonder the labs had buzzed into action. She had never felt much comradeship for other mutants, but then she had met but a few. Yet still the thought of someone hunting them down, hunting what she supposed was her kin down, that affected her. She hadn’t excepted this response within her, yet the idea stirred anger. Anger, forged long ago when she was hunted, anger that had seethed since it had been deprived of revenge, stirred. She knew what it was like to be hunted, to be unable to overcome an enemy that comes wave upon wave, bent on your destruction.
The glasses on the table started to shake, clearly one them wasn’t fully control, and judging from the situation it was most likely the girl on the bed. A slight sense of pity arose, for the girl looked like she had been stripped of something that was part of her. But she also knew that pity wasn’t helpful at this point and so she offered none. What was needed was resolve, and strength, so it was that which she tried to give. “These events have not yet affected me, yet I assure you I will make it my fight, and do whatever I can for the resistance.” She tried to fill her words with resolve, she could tell from the eyes of her companions that revenge was their up most desire. “Revenge will be achieved” She tried to assure them, still not sure whether she was being invasive or was simply unwanted, she simply tried to turn the self-pity into something more useful. With all the mutants who evidently were gathering, who would be able to oppose us? But then she hadn’t the slightest clue who or what for that matter the enemy was. She hoped Hunter’s meeting would come soon, for there were still so many questions that remained unanswered.
