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.

Raina nodded agreeing about the clothes. "That'll work, I think a power nap ought to do it." and with that she pulled one of the blankets from the back of the couch and draped it over herself and snuggled into the couch with a yawn. "it's ahhhh (insert yawn here) old fashioned sleep over I do believe." she adjusted herself to get comfortable.
"I hope Im not keeping you from anything. You should eat supper. Lunch was good and so were the cookies for me, but you must be hungry, just go about your business like Im not even here!"
She joked and chatted a bit more about his apartment but the more time that passed the heavier her eyes became until she stopped mid sentenced with her head bobbed to the side out cold.
ooc: If you wanna do one more post I'll have Raina wake up and leave after that

Luke chuckled at Raina's comments about a sleepover and even though she told him to go about his business he remained seated on the couch, chatting with her until she finally drifted off. For several moments the blind took the time to simply 'look' at the woman and appreciate her beauty. Here his extra control payed off so that he was able to use his sonar to just gently caress over Raina's face, taking in the structure of her facial features.
"You're a beautiful woman Raina." He finally spoke in a quiet voice after he was sure she was asleep, "Sleep well."
Finally willing himself to break way, Luke stood and picked up the plate of cookies as well as the two mugs of tea and took them back into the kitchen. Cleaning up was the work of just a few minutes as he ate the last two or three cookies that were on the plate and then hand washed it as well as both mugs. After placing the freshly washed dishes in the dish drain that sat beside the sink Luke made his way over to the washer that was now beeping softly and set about moving the clothes from one machine to the next.
"Hello. Dino's Pizza?" Luke asked over the phone after the drywer was working on its cycle, "Luke Jacobs. I'm in your computer. I'd like a large with extra toppings... hold the anchovies and black olives but put everything else on. Perfect. Thanks."
Padding quietly through the house Luke retrieve a braile version of 'White Fang' from his bedroom and then took a seat on one of the recliners that was across the coffee table from where Raina now lay sleeping. Completely engrossed in the story as his fingers ran over the braile lettering, Luke almost missed the quiet knock that came from the door approximately twenty minutes later. Standing quickly Luke used one finger to hold his place in the book as he walked over and opened the door. Quickly paying the delivery guy with a substantial tip Luke then took the hot pizza, balancing it on the same arm that held his book while he closed and locked the door. Wandering into the kitchen he set the pizza down on the small table before pouring himself a glass of ginger ale from the fridge. Several minutes later Luke was seated in one of the two chairs that was in the 'breakfast nook' in the kitchen, reading his book with his left hand while he alternated between pizza and soda with his right.
(OOC: Just thought of this... it'll be really dark in the apartment when Raina wakes up because Luke wouldn't even think about turning on a light. Just thought I'd let you know what the ambiance is like.

ooc: Sorry, thought I already posted this! LOL
ic: Raina had been sleeping soundly for hours, her breathing ryhtmic and her body still. She'd been dreaming of the day's events and mostly about Spook the sea lion. She was vaguely aware of different sounds and noises and began to dream she was feeding Spook pizza.
She awoke around 3 am and sat up straight instantly. Her surroundings were very quiet, warm, but also pitch black. It took her quite a moment to get her bearings and remember where she was and come to a general conclusion of why it was so dark. She didn't know where any lights were but had a general idea where the exit was. She sat motionless and listening, there wasn't any sign of Luke. She wished she could leave a thank-you note or something...
She stood up and bumped her knee on the coffee table and held back a curse word. 'be a lady" she told herself 'even if no ones listening" she started to feel around the room and imagine in her head what it looked like from memory. She felt embaressed it was this hard since Luke didn't have an imaginary image to go on- he hadnt seen it like she'd seen it! She should be one up on him!
She eventually found her way around and knew she couldn't find the laundry all on her own. She'd have to borrow these clothes for now. She thought back to her note idea and realized she didn't know how to write in braille so it wouldn't have been any help any way.
She'd found the door and was trying to make sure it didn't creak. She was thankful the door nob had a push lock on it so she could lock the door behind her without a key. Once outside the door there was light again and Rain spyed a takeout menu at the foot of the door. She picked it up and wondered if she could use it at all.
She pulled a bobby-pin down from behind her ear and started poking holes in the menu until the holes made a heart. She slid it under the door. Hopefully that would sum up her appreciation like a girl would stick a heart at the end of a thank-you letter. It was the best she could figure out right now until Luke taught her something else!
She headed toward the elevator where she'd catch a cab and the end of the street and head home.

The sound of Raina banging her knee followed by the sound of the door opening and close began to make its way through Luke's sleep fogged brain but it was several minutes before he finally came completely awake. "What time is it?" He murmured quietly, reaching over to touch the clock beside his bed as he moved into a sitting position. With Raina in the house he had never taken off his t-shirt and was instead just napping on top of the covers on his bed.
"3:09 a.m." The little electronic voice spoke from the clock. Standing up Luke walked out into the living area of the apartment, not even thinking about the darkness as his sonar picked up everything the same way whether it was day or night. Raina was gone... the blanket lay in a small pile on the couch and he walked over, picking it and holding it as a slight smile appeared on his face. This had been an interesting day and would deffinately be one that Luke would remember for time.
As he turned to make his way back towards the bedroom he suddenly noticed something over by the front door. Immediately going to check it out. As he picked up the paper Luke sighed somewhat in dissapointment. "Just another menu." He muttered as he turned to take it over to the trash can that was in the kitchen. As he walked he absently ran his thumb of the paper, stopping in his tracks as he realized there were bumps on this particular corner. Lifting the paper in front of him Luke slowly ran his fingers over the pattern, his mind mapping it out as he tried to figure out what it was.
"A heart..." Luke murmured when the realization came to him after after several moments. "Thanks Raina... I had fun too." With an inward sigh that he hadn't been able to say goodbye in person Luke turned and made his way back to the bedroom, carefully tucking his 'heart' note in the nightstand before pulling off his t-shirt and sliding between the covers. For the next few minutes the man's mind was filled with thoughts of the beautiful woman that had slipped out so quietly but finally he managed to drift off to sleep.
