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.

Sam walked into the danger room in awe. The only thing he could say was “wow”. It had to be humongous. The room probably seemed bigger than it was, but if Sam had to guess he would have to guess the size of a foot ball stadium, but to be honest he was never good with guessing. He looked to the others that came along and said sounding gidy and jumping, “this is going to be so much fun.” He started to punch and kick the air warming up for the spar. He looked to the others and said “I am ready when you are. Are we gonna have rules? Or just have at it?”

Nathan walked into the Danger Room. It was also his first time there. He viewed the vastness of the room. He wondered if he was allowed to fly inside of the room. Not that he had any control over his wings anyway. But it was nice to think on the possibilities none the less.
Sam's excitement was evident if you interpereted his body language. Nathan knew that he was enthused as well. He was just not jumping up and down. He had always been a stoic person.
"I don't have any imput on rules at the moment." He finished with a laugh and a hand flourish. During that hand flourish he created a fire sword in his right hand. He did not make it extremely hot for they were only training after all. He stood their waiting for the others to ready themselves.
Deathstar walked in the danger room behind the guys, She stop once she got inside to do some extra stretching. She notices Sam excitement, "you must not know what you getting yourself into" she pulls her hair into a tight ponytail and resume strectching, "how bout we warm-up first, you all can step in the danger room first, while I stay up here and observe" she then walks to the computer and designs the training session. "I will put it on easy mode at first, I will see how you three work as a team first, then I join you and throw guys around for a bit, how does that sound?" she shakes her head laughing.
Voltaire walked into the danger-room a little less excited then the rest. He was more worried who was going to be hurt by his powers. Deathstar explained that she was going to let the three of them play around on easy-mode for a while before she was going to make there lives miserable in this room. Voltair closed his eyes, started breathing slowly and slowly started to crack his neck and knuckles. At the cracks small jolts of red electricity came free from his neck and knuckles. He had no clue he was this tensed and was ready to let go. He started a quick stretching round and then he pulled a hairband out of his pocket. He put it on to keep his hair backwards and out of the way. "I do think that we need a safety word or something to stop the excersize if it gets to dangerous or something." He said to the rest, hoping he could contain the danger lurking inside of him.

Sam smiled at Nathan as he materialized a sword of fire and started to swing it about. Sam smiled at him and said “Great minds think alike, you will see what I mean.” He wanted to save his powers till when it counted, he never liked revealing too much.
Sam turned his head when Deathstar was going to have them warm up and see how good they can team up. He asked her “so do we have a team captain? Or are we going to improvise seeing well we can adapt to each other?” the he smiled at her, “either ways fine, I haven’t done this in a while and I am sycked.”
Sam could tell that most of them were excited as well all except Malik. He seemed a little more nervous that the rest, really tense. Sam walked over to him after he threw out the idea of a safety word. “You can come up with it,” he said aloud and then leaned a bit closer to Malik “relax man, it’s just for fun, anything happens I’ll take care of it, promise.” Sam did the best he could to try and cheer Malik up a bit, he smiled at him and patted his back as a friendly gesture as he said this. Sam liked Malik and already counted him as a friend, as well as the other two. Sam was really happy he came to this school.

Teaming up sounded easy enough. From what the others revealed about their powers, the three of them should mesh well together. Nathan didn't like the sound of Deathstar saying she would throw him around. Mostly because he didn't want to get thrown around. He also didn't agree with the idea of a team captain. It was great to have a team. But when you have some self appointed authority over you it didn't sit well with Nathan. It wouldn't bother him if it one of the older mutants but not someone you view as your peer.
He saw that Malik was looking restless. "Hey don't worry. Everything is going to be fine."
Deathstar starts the session as the guys enter the room, "Don't worry about a team captain, I'm just trying to get a feel on how you work as a team, thats more important than anything". Deathstar shifts the difficulty to immediate without telling the others. "Malik don't worry I'll stop when your body is motionless" she laughs to herself joking, "but serious just yell out when had enough, lets begin shall we" she says over the mic.
*The danger room scene shifts into in a dark alley, four stalkerbots emerge from the shadows and immediately attacks the three guys taking them by surprise*
(ooc- you can play as the stalkerbots but remember they are difficult)
“You can come up with it,” he said aloud and then leaned a bit closer to Malik “relax man, it’s just for fun, anything happens I’ll take care of it, promise.” Sam did the best he could to try and cheer Malik up a bit, he smiled at him and patted his back as a friendly gesture as he said this.
At the moment Sam touched his shoulder, sparks flew from his shoulders. Voltaire shot forward hoping not to hit anything. He turned around and said:" Don't ever do that." in concerned way. Everybody told him to be fine, but with he show of power they might think differently. Deathstar even joked that this excirsize ended when all of them where "dead" but it wasn't very reasuring. "Lets make the word: Banana." He said to lift his spirit a bit.
"but serious just yell out when had enough, lets begin shall we" she says over the mic.
The moment she said that Voltaire closed his eyes. As he opened them the where blood red. He was now standing in a dark allyway with the 2 other boys. 4 stalker bots emerged and one of them immediatly jumped towards Voltaire. With a load roar Voltaire punched the stalker mid-air. On contact electricity shot from his shoulder to his hand. A loud explosion launched the stalker back. "Trying to get in a cheapshot?" He asked looking back over his shoulder towards the place where the control room was supposed to be. He twisted his right shoulder a bit and then took a fighting stance. "Let's get started then." he said, putting on a serious face.

“Hell yea, I love smashing robots.” Sam yelled so DeathStar could hear him. Sam then watched as Malik already knocked one of the bots to the ground and then landed and got into a defensive stance. Sam was not going to be shown up by Malik, he smiled and lowered his temperature around him. The protective casing that covered Sam felt so familiar. Sam got into a defensive stance as he was being targeted by one of the stalker bots. The bot let out a screech and charged. Within seconds Sam would be attacked, so he did what he usually did and concentrated, hard. Just as the bot was upon him he had two swords in hand, he was ready. The bot lunged as Sam ran and slid under the bot. He swung his sword and cut the armor of the Stalker a little, not enought to have any effect.
Sam got up only to get decked in the back of the head and go flying head first into the wall. if his ice armor was not up Sam would have been dead.
OOC: What exactly does a stalker look like? And what are the weapons it has, etc?
IC: Nathan decided to hang back and study his opponents. He had never before seen a stalker so it was his chance to atleast study it's design and movements. After a moment he launched a series of slashing attacks at the body of the stalker that was closest to him. It did't seem to too concerned with Nathan's attacks. It kept on advancing.
Nathan then decided to raise the temperature of his fire sword. The sword went from a blade of flame to more of a long beam of light and heat (think lightsaber). The blade was suddenly more effective. He sidestepped a charge from the stalkerbot causing him to almost running into another one.
Wanting to end his engagement faster so he could help the others he created another fire sword in his left hand. Since he had two blades he could do more damage to the robot's armor. The robot wasn't exactly a skilled opponent so Nathan didn't have to worry about his defense too much. He just concentrated on keeping his attack up.
Whenever the bot would lunge forward he would simply dodge and attack with his two swords. But he knew that he was starting to slow from so much movement. He judged that he had weakened the bot's armor enough to initiate the killing blow. He suddenly lunged forward both swords extended. His blades pierced the outter shell cleanly and penetrated all the way through the back.
Having finished with this one he turned to the others to see where he could help.
With Seraph cleaning up one stalker, Voltaire lunged himself on the other one that was laying in the ground. Putting his physical strenght and mutant powers to the extreme, he started punching the stalker on the head, hoping he would expose his weaker neck parts. Eventually he saw a opening. He used his left hand to keep the stalkers head backwards so the neck would be exposed and jammed his right hand in the neck. He started pumping energy into the stalkers neck until its total upper body blew up and knocked Voltaire against a wall. He was a bit suprised that it hurt and everything seemed so real, but this was how he did it the first time and it worked here too.

Sam pulled his head from the wall and said, “Ok, lets play rough” Sam created his two swords again but this time the were bigger and sharper, this was all he needed. He looked around to see his teammates had already taken two out, he had to step up it would be pretty embarrassing, to not even take one out.
Sam ran towards the robot that knocked him to the wall. He was sprinting and the robot met him half way. The robot threw a punch and the fist hit Sam right in the gut he lunged back a little to absorb the blow then he used his power to freeze the fist to his stomach, from there the robot was as good as gone. Sam took his two swords and cut clean through the head of the robot. The short distance was easy to swing a sword that would act as a finishing blow. The robot collapsed to the ground moved no more.
One left Sam saw it but was to far the other two were closer; this was a perfect opportunity for teamwork. Sam shot a beam that froze the robot, 30 seconds was all Malik or Nathan would have to take the robot out if they planned on using the opening that Sam left them.
Seeing as the only stalker left was frozen for a short while, Voltaire picked up a lose arm of one of the defeated stalkers. He ran forward and swung the stalker into the air using the arm. He dropped the arm and prepared himself for the stalker to drop back down. He positioned himself so the neck of the stalker would meet his shoulder. As the stalker dropped on Voltaire's shoulder he applied extra force using his hand to break the stalkers head clean off. He stood up straight and brushed his hands clean. "I guess that was easy." he said.
Deathstar was impressed by their offensive moves, but teamwork definitely needed alot of work. As the guys finished the last stalkerbot, Deathstar smiled to herself, "now that was a warm-up, how bout we take it a bit further" she says on the mic while hitting the button for more stalker bots to show up.
*8 stalkerbots rise from the shadows attacking the guys all at once*
"Goodluck"She said as she leaned back in the chair watching and wondering how they would get out of this situation.
Nathan saw the others finish off the last bot and walked over to the others. Deathstar's voice on the mike along with eight more stalkerbots was not a good thing. The robots had them surrounded and were closing in.
Nathan suddenly had an idea. "Guys we need to circle up with our backs to each other and try to fend them off. Sam how many of those can you freeze at once?
