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.

Petunia stood there in her preying mantis form, sideways looking at the girl. The mantis shook her head, and hopped off of the locker door scurrying inside of the straight jacket, that had been dropped to the floor when she transformed, again. Once inside the jacket, Petunia began morphing back to human. Using her growing size as a motion to slip her hands and head through the sleeves and collar as she stood up.
Petunia stretched her arms, and popped her back. Somewhere in the distance, the alarm was finally triggered, and a red flashing light had filled the halls. She called the moths back to her, that had been her mask, and they got back in place to hide her face just before the transformation was complete. "I think we've got to get going now." She said to the other girl as she made her way to the door. Petunia pushed it open an inch and her eyes widened slightly. At the very end of where she could see, there was a line of men in guard uniform running their way.
"I'll try to provide some cover." As she spoke, under the collar of her jacket, she was starting to build a group of white moths. Every square inch of her skin was wiggling under neith and ever wiggling bump had a white winged insect crawling to freedom.
She twiddled with her mask not paying attention to the growing insect that was now a girl again. As she moved her head she found out the bands of the mask was a bit to lose and the mask fell off. She found that rather annoying and sat down on the floor to try and make the mask fit. She didn't know how to work the bands and she got a bit agrivated with it.
"I think we've got to get going now."
"going? " She thought to herself. "But, but ,but you just got here, and what about playing?" she asked the girl as she sat down on the floor twiddling with the bands of her mask. She tried it on again to find out that they only gotten bigger and the mask fell of again. "Grrrr, i command you to work. " she said to the mask.
"I'll try to provide some cover."
"They are here " said a whisper to Cailyn. She stood up and looked around the corner to see the guards. The girl turned white with moving insects and Cailyn was a bit amazed by it. She looked at it with a amazed look on her face and said: "Woooow." She shook her head and whispers told her stuff again. "She can't handle them, go help, go do things to them, do it now." The whispers said. She dropped the mask as she went into trance again. The holy sounds of her Hymn filled up the room as she started to levitate a few inches above the ground. She looked at the guards and her hands started twitching. "Jeaves, get my suitcases we are leaving." she whipsered toward one the guards. the guard was mesmerized for a second then shook his head. Cailyn planted the thoughts of a butler into his mind and now he thought he was her butler. "Yes madam, do you require anything else." The guard said with a english accent as he bowed down. Cailyn remained silent and the guard simply walked away towards her room.
"going? But, but ,but you just got here, and what about playing?"
“Oh believe me.” Petunia grinned till she had deep creases in her cheeks. “We will be playing quite a bit.” Petunia turned back around and her green eyes flashed behind her mask, in the light.
The mask, that had seemed so important, was dropped. So Petunia scooped it up, playing with the adjustments so that they looked like it would fit better than how the girl had them. Then slipped the strap over her sleeved arm, like a strap to a purse. The perfect purse to go with thehug-me jacket dress.
"Jeaves, get my suitcases we are leaving."
Yes madam, do you require anything else."
“Oh, oh, oh. I’d like some chocolate cake Jeaves…” The man was already walking away “Jeaves, Jeaves. … Good help is so hard to find…” Petunia grumbled. Ok so now about the rest of their friends. From under Petunia’s collar, the moths began to fly out, and spread into the hall. Being that they were the same color as Petunia’s hug me jacket, she felt she was pretty well camouflaged. That is once there got to be enough of them in the hall. Petunia stepped out, and began walked close to the wall.
As the girl picked up the mask and started adjusting the straps, Cailyn wanted to reach out for it. She lifted her arm a tad towards it but she was a bit scared to reach out for it. As the girl put the mask around her arm Cailyn couldn't help it but to let out a small, high pitched hickup of a laugh. It looked kind of funny to her.
“We will be playing quite a bit.”
Cailyn nodded happy and said:"what game are we going to play, pixy lady." That name just slipped into her thoughts. She started thinking what kind of games they could play to have some fun. "I wanna play tag." She thought to herself but a whisper instantly replied: " Tag is played with more then 2.". She wanted to respond to the whisper but decided not to because he was right.
“Oh, oh, oh. I’d like some chocolate cake Jeaves…” The man was already walking away “Jeaves, Jeaves. … Good help is so hard to find…”
Cailyn landed softly on the floor not knowing to the fullest what she had done to the guard. The girl had allot of moths covering the walls and what not. As pixy walked to the walls, Cailyn couldn't see her aswell because of the natural camouflage. Cailyn clapped her hand reall quick and reall happy. "Hide and seek is one of my favorites." She said. She covered her eyes and started counting down: "1 mississippi, 2 mississippi , 3 mississippi" She continued that till 10 mississippi and then uncovered her eyes to find Pixy.
As Cailyn opened her eyes she saw a big red man standing at the end of the hallway. She gasped at him seeing as she never saw a giant red man before. She rubbed her eyes to see if her mind played tricks on her... again. Her mind was perfectly fine (for her) this time. She looked at the big red man and her head started to hurt. She planted her hand against her forehead and she showed signs of pain. She fell onto her knees and put her feet apart. the man had 7 minds pushed into one and that was a bit much for Cailyns first time in a actual stresfull situation.
"7 of 1 , 1 of 7 " She repeated over again looked at the big red man. Because of the stress on her body she fellt her mind becoming "bubbly". She gotten a bit used to the situation and she started to relax again. The pain started to subside and she got up on her feet again, patting the filth of her legs. She looked around and couldn't find the pixy girl anywhere. She then put her eyes on the big red guy again. She looked at him, stunned by how amazing it looked to her. It was as if she saw a superhero for the first time, someone you only read about in books.
Petunia grinned. “The best game ever.” It’s called plinking. She extended her index finger at one of the guards like she was playing cops and robbers, and out of the tip of her finger wiggled another bee. Her thumb moved. “Bang.” She whispered and the bee flew off through the clowd of moths and stung one of the guards in the face.
“Oh my eye.” He screamed. “I’ve been hit!”
"Hide and seek is one of my favorites."
“Correction. We are now playing the very best game ever and the second very best game ever.” Because hide and seek pawned all others. Petunia practically skipped to the other side of the hall where her moths followed. Off in the distance there was a bunch of racket. Other must be playing games as well. Oh her brother would love this. She turned around about ready to go find him, when there was this big red guy standing there. “Um… hi.” Petunia said waving a sleeve covered hand.
"any mutants are welcome to come back with us to the sanctuary."
She looked at the red man with amazed eyes. "The church of sin?" She asked the big red man not knowing why she asked. It did seem a bit interrested.Her childish side found that Sanctuary was a fancy word and that it could be fun to find out what it was for Cailyn.
Something suddenly just cracked in Cailyn. It was a warning and not just any warning. A big siren warning. Whispers went beserk telling her something very important and it gave her headaches again. She grabbed her head again and screamed:"They are coming!" The warning wasn't about the guards. her father found out and send a unit after her. Panic returned into the girls mind. All she wanted to do is get her mask and get out of here. She lunged herself after the girl who had and said. "Gimme,gimme, gimme." In panic.
Petunia was enjoying this. Now just to find Joshua and make sure he wasn't injured... Too badly. His cell was on the way out so if he hadn't been let out already, she would make sure he was. No need to make him stay here when the building might be destroyed. Even if he was a jerk he was still her brother. And only she had the right to kill him. She'd kill him when she felt like it... So far she hadn't felt like it...
"any mutants are welcome to come back with us to the sanctuary."
"Oh a resistance buddy." Petunia remarked as she stared up at the big mountain of red muscle. Then the other girl's movement caught her attention. because it disturbed her insect's flight path. Petunia spun as the other girl had come at her. Her wings tried to extend but she hadn't cut the faberic of the hug me jacket to let them loose so her movement to jump into the air... was just that. Jumping into the air... then falling on her butt. "Fine, Take it." Petunia flung the mask at the girl's fact. "I think it's adjusted right, now."
Cailyn received the mask from the pixy lady and immediatly tried to put it on. After a small struggle she got it on and her breathing started slowing down. Her breathing was heard through the hallway now. She was a bit more calm and relaxed now but she still had to get out of here before her father's unit showed up. "I wanna go." She said to the group pointing at the exit sign.
Suddenly 2 other red men walked into the hallway playing with a guard. She shrugged it of that they were identical to the other red man. This just proved that the whispers can be right at some time. She softly whispered that to herself: "Guess you where right." She then tried to walk through to the exit but she was tired from all the comotion and the use of her powers and she didn't walk as fast as normal. "I wanna go, daddy can't find me here." she repeated.
Petunia shrugged at Abyss, after having thrown the mask back at the other girl. Two more of the big red guy burst in, with the guard running away, but had obviously been a little mistaken in thinking this was a good place to escape. She giggled when the guard was tossed through the door ways.
“I’ve got to get just one thing.” Petunia said running past the first big red man, and down the hall. She turned a corner, and entered the fourth door on the right. As soon as the door opened someone cried out, and whimpered. Petunia ran in, then reappeared back in the hall way with a young man that looked a lot like her, with the light white skin, and black smooth hair, only he was much taller. She dragged him along the hall way, by the arm, and he moved, stumbling off balance.
" If this father of yours is a problem you would like to go away, we could make that happen."
Cailyn shook her head in a no- manner. "Daddy protects me from me, but he is no fun. " She said sadly. "He loves me." She added to it. The pixy lady left and got back with a friend she never saw before. Then again she didn't see much of the other people inside this place anyways. She waved hello to the young man.
Suddenly more red people came into the hallway and she was scooped up by one. It kind of scared her at first since she didn't know what was going on but when she sat on his shoulder she found it rather amusing. She looked at the red giant and he seemed to be smiling. This made Cailyn smile too , but nobody could see that. She patted the top of his head and said:" Nice mister bubbles."
Joshua was the name of the gentleman Pix was toting on her way out the door. Her brother had been such a fun toy. She didn’t wish for something to happen to him yet, so taking him along with them was the best answer. When he was waved at he stumbled back. Pasty features getting pailer as he tripped on his own heals. Being pulled by pix, who held up his own arm for him, to wave back at her, and the big red men.
“So if they are coming, How many do you think they are?” Petunia asked, leading the way to the left, that would take them out a side door at the front. Not directly at the front entrance, but not dodging where trouble might be either.
(OOC: and i have been waiting for abyss to post because he was carrying me =p. anyways i'm gona pretend that the one carrying me is gona walk towards the exit if you don't like it i will change it =] )
"We have a couple of asylum buses loading up, not quite stylish but, they get the job done. Mercury, you can take the bike."
Cailyn was excited because she could see the busses from her window but never been in one. It sounded allot of fun to her to be riding a bus. The big red man that carried her walked towards the exit. It was a bumpy ride but a fun one. She found all the commotion very entertaining mainly because she never got to do anything but solve puzzle's and doodle.
Aproaching the open doors she felt the cool breeze of the outside air on her body. She was always inside so she hadn't felt the outside air for a long time. The little breeze tickled her it made her giggle a little. She bended a bit forwards and it almost made her fall down but she grabbed the red man's head to keep her from falling. She looked down at the man carrying her and said: "Oopsy."
"Petunia turned around to the big red guy talking about not being sure if all the inmates were mutants. Hand still hauling Joshua and the other hand on her hip. "This one isn't a mutant but he comes with me." She said in such a way that was basically you got a problem with that,too bad. "He's my bro."
having reached the doors, Petunia spun around, Pulling Joshua off balance so that he tripped on his own feet, ramming his houlder into the exit. "Buses sound like fun to me." She paused long enough, pushing the door open just a crack, to see how clear things were, before pushing Joshua out in front of her, and expanding her cloud of white moths to make things harder for potential shooters, to see them.
The big man carrying Cailyn was moving towards the bus and stopped right in front of it. Cailyn slipped down and landed on her feet and started examening the bus. First time she saw a bus up close and all she could let out was a childish smile that showed how excited she was to board it. She turned to the red man and looked with a cute smile at him, letting him know she was ready to go.
She crawled up the bus and sat down in the front seats of the bus. She looked around again to look at everything. She examined everything, from the lugage racks to the gas pedal. She coulnd't believe she was actually going to ride a moving vehicle. The excitement tired her out more and she started laying down on the 2 front seats. " I wanna go." she said sleepy as she started to slip into a sleep. "Time for beddy bye bye. " she said softly as she crawled up and fell asleep on the front seats.
