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.

Neena placed her hand on the new palm-pad outside the War Room door. It read her fingerprints, matched it with the ID in the computers, and confirmed her access status. The door slid silently open, and she stepped in.
She had called in the rest of the Xmen for several reasons. One, she hadn't had a chance to really get to know them all. She was not a 'field agent', for lack of a better term, but still a part of the team. And for any group to be effective, you needed to know who you were working with.
Also, the Trainees needed an upgrade. The team had dwindled in number, and needed a boost. A group training would also be helpful, but that could be saved for later.
Plus.... the majority of the team had been forced to endure the full brunt of the Registration Camps. Extreme situations could very easily change a person for the worse. It would be a shot in the arm, of sorts, to get together and reaffirm theirs goals, get on the same page again. With the Registration still fresh in everyone's minds, this was the perfect opportunity to let the rest of the world know what the Xmen were really about.
At least, their main goal.
While she waited for the others to arrive, she began searching for the manual for the computer. She still hated that overrated pile of nuts and bolts.....

"Knock Knock" Said Raina coming in close behind Neena. "I saw you dashing down the hall, I tried to catch up but you beat me." she joked. She peeked her head in behind Neena and looked at the danger room. She'd only been here once before- with Neena herself and she wasn't much good so she hung out in the locker room watching Deathstar. "Nice place." she said sarcastically leaning against the outdoor hallway wall and watching for the others. She wondered who the others would all be.

Calley
Calley's room at the Mansion had been thoroughly trashed during the raid. Thoroughly and completely. It looked like someone--or several someones, with large weapons and awesome offensive mutations--had an elaborately violent and entirely epic struggle that had taken out most of it.
He was a little sad he'd missed it, what with having calmly watched the Mansion Raid from the bushes across the street that night. But meh. Really, what was a working-on-becoming-self-employed young man to do? Mostly, damage control. His room was livable again, thanks to the help of other residents and some inexperienced efforts of his own. Construction wasn't exactly in his background, but again: meh. His solo suite in the boy's wing still needed furnishings. A bed, for instance. And clothing in the closet would be helpful. The important thing was that the only hole in the wall was for the window.
It was for a combination of the no bed and no clothes reasons--and the simple fact that he still couldn't stop himself from shifting while he slept--that it wasn't a scrawny teenager boy who came down the hall, but a rather large Bengal tiger. It sniffed as it went, picking up two scent trails ahead of it. It recognized both. The older of the two belonged to a woman he'd actually met--she liked spiders, and was occasionally invisible. The fresher trail was just one he'd smelled around, unless he was forgetting something. The tiger's whiskers fanned forwards as it approached the door. It gave a respectful bow of its large head to the woman at the door.
"Hello, Ma'am. Have we met before? I'm Calley. Umm, Caleb Yeldham, that is."
He stuck his head inside, his tail swishing the air behind him as he saw the woman he'd already recognized. "Hello, Ms Neena. Want to know something cool? I learned to talk in tiger form while I was at the Resistance." He padded into the room lightly--as light as a very large tiger could--and sat himself down at a corner of the table out of the way of the chairs. He licked at his shoulder briefly before mentioning, "Umm, and after the meeting, if you know where some clothes are, that would be great. I haven't moved mine back in yet. And I kinda... broke the pair I had." He blinked large baby blue eyes at her. "A little."
He had put himself at the far end of the room, with an excellent view of the door and any of his fellow X-foo's who would come after him. Calley was an official X-Men Trainee.
He licked the back of a paw, and started grooming behind an ear as he waited.

Michael had got the message and was making his way towards the War Room. He'd been about to head up to his room to fix the mess that it inevitably was when he had heard the message. Arriving he entered to see Neena, Raina and a tiger. He hoped that the tiger was Calley.
"Hi all," he said offering a smile. Moving to the table he took a seat and waited for the others to arrive.

Now that Michael had shown up Raina felt a bit better about sitting down at the big empty table. She'd never met Calley before, not to her knowledge... so when the giant tiger (as if seeing a tiger wasn't enough) started talking she couldnt help but stare in awe. "Well isn't that something." she accidently said out loud. "Er, uh, sorry."
She gave Shield a wave and seated herself next to him. "In for the x-men eh Shield? Im not surprised. You'd make a great x-men"
Days had gone by and she had recently found out about a meeting. It was weird being apart of all this chaos but Deja wouldn't trade it for the world. It gave her a purpose and that's why she comes here. She needed to find who she is and what her life is all about. She appeared wearing a red T-shirt and somewhat tight fitting jeans,her black boots making a clicking sound. Looking around,she wondered what all have been through. Being in those camps must have been very hard and Deja had wondered how she could help them all out. Her eyes noticed Raina and Micheal,aswell as Calley. She took a seat next to the guy as she gave him a smile. ''How are you doing?''

Zeke stepped up to the palm-pad and slipped his hand back on the monitor. It had been quite a few crazy months since he had been able to enter this place. Or had it been a year? It was so long he couldn't even tell anymore. And he looked different then before. His previous mild manner of smiling and keeping things under control with a dress suit was gone. No, Prof. Ezekiel White was different now.
Reinstated as a Prof here at the mansion, Zeke walked into the war room with a desert eagle at his hip and his shoulder strap with the ninja stars. For a while he would have to wear them, at least until things calmed down after the camp deal. He couldn't calm his spirit long enough to take them off. Especially seeing how Evie was there to think of. Right now she was back at the apartment, safe, but Zeke wouldn't leave her longer than a few hours.
The room was already filled with X-Men novices and trainees, veterans and teachers. Neena was a decided stand out... searching around the room for something, he couldn't tell what.
Meanwhile, he sat in a corner and waited to see how things would pan out. Observation was sometimes the best when re-entering an environment that in previous memory could end up hostile. Zeke didn't want what happened with Black to happen again. He would sit here on his guard...
OOC: Consider me as an observer, and see my leaving MRO post today.
"Knock Knock. I saw you dashing down the hall, I tried to catch up but you beat me."
"Hi Raina. How goes it?" Neena smiled at her, then turned back to her searching.
"Nice place."
"Uh huh," was the absent-minded reply as she leaned over to look under a counter.
"Hello, Ma'am. Have we met before? I'm Calley. Umm, Caleb Yeldham, that is. Hello, Ms Neena. Want to know something cool? I learned to talk in tiger form while I was at the Resistance."
Neena looked up and blinked. Sure enough, Tigger was talking, in Tigger-form. She grinned. "Neat trick. Nice to see you again Calley."
"Umm, and after the meeting, if you know where some clothes are, that would be great. I haven't moved mine back in yet. And I kinda... broke the pair I had. A little."
" 'A little?' " She chuckled. "Sure, kiddo. We'll raid the storage rooms after."
<"All right, a manual shouldn't be this hard to find...."> She got down on her hands and knees and began searching under tables and counters. Maybe it had been misplaced in the Raid.
Several other arrived, and said their greetings. She waved her hellos from wherever she happened to be at the time. Finally she sighed and gave up, and clambered into a seat. She looked around with a smile.
"Okay. Raina, Calley, Shield, Dream, Zeke.... Looks like we're just missing Em, Deathstar, Raven and Nika. I think....." She turned to search for her bag, and a list of names inside it.
Emerald Lupin had a long week, helping with repairs as well as doing a few things on the side was really tiring her out. She had managed to get some sleep the other day and had slept for a rather long time on the newly refurnished living room couch. However, fatigue still showed upon her sharp wolven features even her tail seemed a little bit droopy as she walked into the room.
However, all that changed when she saw familiar faces, smiling lightly at each of them but smiling wider than before when her eyes laid on Michael. Her tail began to wag back and forth rather eager illy as she sat besides him. Emerald's mind then switched to the 'what the hell are you doing' mode and she stopped smiling like a lune long enough to speak.
"HI Michael long time no see? How have ya been?" Emerald asked with a tone of curiosity mixed with concern entering her voice. It was a tone seldom used by the wolf girl and it was probably surprising for most people to hear her use it
Emerald smiled rather wolfishly and glanced at all the other X men assembled. "So, whats this rag tag team of super heroes next big assignment?"
Nika had received the invitation to meet in the War Room. She wasn't exactly sure what the invitation was for, but none the less she would go see what it was all about.
When the cat girl arrived there were already others gathered. She immediately knew Neena, Raina, Michael and Emerald. A couple others were new faces to her but she still smiled to them as she walked in.

Recieving an invitation to the War Room was far from being on Ali's mind. However, it sounded rather important and since she was an X-Men trainee she figured it would be best to see what was going on. Afterall, they were missing many from before the raid on the mansion. That along with the arrival of new mutants probably meant it would be a meeting she better not miss.
Arriving at the War Room Ali placed her hand on the access panel and was allowed entry. She thought she was late what with how many people were already gathered. She only recognized a couple of people. Maybe they all would get to know each other.
"Sorry I'm late everyone. I hope I didn't miss much."

Michael offered Raina a smile as she took a seat next to him. "Thanks for the vote of confidence Raina," he said, "I'll do my best to live up to your expectations." He smiled to the others as they entered, offering Emerald a slightly wider smile than the others.
"I'm doing well Em, yourself?" he asked. It had been a busy couple of days and he'd been kept very active. It was nice to seat down and talk for the first time in a while.
A larger smile crept across the young wolf girls face when Michael adressed her, unable to hold back her glee. It took her a few second to snap herself out of it but when she did she adressed the boy sheepishly. She was a tad bit embaressed that she was smiling so much like a crazy wolf that just ate a chunk of meat.
"I'm fine, recovering from that lovely stay in the second ring of hell." Emerald replied coyly. She Rummaged in her pocket for a moment and pulled out the squeaky moose that he had given her for her birthday. "Along with the heater this helped me through. Thank you...for helping me."

Raina grinned and waved at Em then she noticed Ali come in. "Hey Ali! Come sit over here!" she pulled out a chair for Ali.
Raina looked around the room... she and Neena were the oldest as far as she could tell, with Ali right behind them. She was glad to have the different ages and different powers. She wondered if anyone else would be joining them. They would be a strong team
Neena pulled out a scrap of paper just as Emerald walked through the door, followed close behind by Nika.
"Ah! Good, that makes two more." She went through and began checking off names. At one point she blurted out, "Ah! Ted! That's who I forgot....." She scribbled his name on the paper.
“Hey guys. What’s going on?”
"So, whats this rag tag team of super heroes next big assignment?"
Neena smiled at the wolfgirl over the top of her glasses. "Nothing so glamorous as our 'Survival Crash Course' these past months, thankfully. Basically just- Oh, hey Ali. Great, that's another."
"Sorry I'm late everyone. I hope I didn't miss much." Ali entered the room, and Neena checked another name off of the list.
"Awesome, that just leaves Deathstar and Ted." She smiled as Raina pulled out a seat for the redhead. "Nope, you're not late. I was just about to say that this meeting is mainly about getting everyone reacquainted again. Plus, I know some of you don't know each other yet."
She took a quick head count; nine including herself. With Star and Ted, that made eleven. Not bad considering circumstances.
