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.

Open.
Leila was awaken that windy Sunday morning by a sound. A branch tapping against her window, to be exact. Sighing, she gazed at her Alarm Clock, it was still only 6:58AM. Maybe the Branch wanted to make her in a terrible mood? Yes, that was probably the case. So, now that the blonde was wide awake, what should she do? She had been at the Mansion for around a Week now, and so far, she hadn't been in the Danger Room, as Raina called it.
Well, she hadn't been as Social either. Really, the only things she had done all week were a Party for Raina, and readfing. Oh, not to mention School Work and Work. "Argh, I'm awake!" she yelled at the Branch, yanking her blankets out of the way as she got out of bed. The first thing she did was opening the window, and snapping the Branch in too - no she wasn't so strong, just that the Branch wasn't that big. What?! The Branch couldn't of had been making that much avoc, if it was only an Inch wide? Leila bit her lip.
She shook off the thought as she got dressed in some Short Jean shorts and a black Tank top. It wasn't that hot, but she didn't really want to be dressed in Sweats for a Work Out in the Danger Room. Heck, she should maybe put some Swim Suit on? She would after all, be turning into a Dolphin if everything went well. So she'd have to touch the water before Transforming.
After half an hour, she was dressed in the same clothes, but her Sky Blue Bikini was showing a little, her hair was tied up in a messy Ponytail, hanging off her back. Perfect. She grabbed the Mansion Map from her Desk, checking it. The Danger Room... Her eyes trailed the small writing, until she found it. Great, now she needed to walk a few Floors down.
Leila got her IPod out of her Jean Pocket and put on her favorite Playlist, zoning out for a while. Before she knew it, she had entered rthe Danger Room, a person was already there. "Hi," she said, politely.

Sam was at the danger room again, for some odd reason his social life around the Mansion began to dwindle, it wasn’t eating or sleeping he was out doing his hero thing, he was in here the danger room, countless simulations over and over again with different variables in each scenario, he loved it. This had to be one of his favorite rooms in the entire mansion.
It was now close to seven in the morning and Sam was working up quite a sweat, over the past three hours he had been working on the bond and teamwork he had with one of his ice golems. He had made a lot of headway in the three hours he had been working with him. They got to the point where their movements seemed like a dance, one steps o the right and the other to the left, one kicks with his left the other with the right. Twirls, spins, and pivots causing them to form an almost perfect harmony. If it wasn’t for the fact that Sam wasn’t another two feet taller and covered in ice, their movements would have masked who each individual was, and they would have become a bright blue blur.
Sam just finished the third hour of training and after dismataling the last robot when he heard a familiar voice. His look changed from concentrated and fearsome to warm and friendly.
"Hi,"
Sam smiled and threw up his hand in a quick wave only to pull it down seconds later, “thought I was the only crazy one at the mansion, what are you doing up this early?” Sam walked closer to the ice golem and put his hand on it only to have it shatter into an icy dust as it swirled around him and vanished. “Simulation end” called Sam as the robots faded away like a dimming switch had been turned on causing them to vanish in thin air. Sam looked back to Leila and smiled once again, “So whatcha doing here?”

Leila quickly noticed who this particular person was. Sam, the man she had met at the Café about two weeks ago. She had forgotten the exact date. Aproximately a week before she had arrived at the Mansion maybe? Oh well, it was the first time she was meeting him here. Smiling at him, she pulled her Ear piece from her ear so they could have a normal conversation.
She rolled her eyes at his comment. "I was awaken." she said simply, "And I'm not crazy." she added, walking closer to him. "You on the other hand --" she said, putting a hand on his forehead, "are definately crazy. How long have you been here to build up such a Sweat?" she asked, no sound of fright in her voice, unlike the last time they had met.
She watched him do his thing, shutting down the Simulation. "Ah, good question." she sighed, "Raina told me about this place when I first arrived and, thinking I might have to get to work someday, I came here." she explained. "By the way, why did you tell her about me? How did you know I was a Freak like all of you?" she asked, slightly angrily. "No Offence..."

The last few night he couldnt slept well , his sleep was infected with nightmares and phantoms haunting his dreams. but after the night of the funeral he was allowed to sleep well again . perhaps God give him the redemption he was looking for when he went to the funeral of his victim , or perhaps share his feelings in the net do the trick. by the way , Fausto get up earlier that morning ... He was unwillingly creating a habit of wake earlier, but he was taking advantage of that situation . every day he went to the kitchen for a very earlier breakfast ... sometimes he meet there with Dubby, Duncan Green . He liked to talk a lot about food , sometimes he prepared the breakfast for both ,and Fausto share with him the knowledge of the taste of weird things like a piece of paper , metal , wood ... After the meal , he usually went to the garden and walk a lot, walk and think , think and walk ... but today he was planning another thing , he heard from other students how amazing the danger room was. so he was really interesting in go there , Neena asked him about a training session in the danger room but she never had the time to play with him . so he was trying to sneak into it alone . He reach the danger room when a young man was talking with a young lady ... he was lurking in the shadows until she said Freaks. then , he jumped in the spot light talking to her. he was really offended for the sentence .
¨your opinion offend me lady ... we are not freaks , we are not mutants ... all the ones that call us abnormal and freaks are really really wrong ...we are the evolution , we are the next step in the evolution chart , don't you think we are amazing ? our evolutions allow us to be the fastest , the strongest , the best healers ... we are the best always ... it's not hard to guess that you are one of us if you are here lady if because you are a mutant ...¨
He stopped a second to take breath expecting he wasnt to rude with her ... the subject always triggered the worst in him . Freaks and Abnormal never ... he always though in mutants like ¨evolutions¨ , blessed ones .
¨By the way ... my name is Fausto Martense , but you two can call me Iron Mouth . Do you know me, right ? all the people is talking about me ... the royal eater, the amazing and almighty Iron Mouth.¨

Sam felt her hand on his forehead and responded, “Well been up for three hours but, I’m still on military time.” Sam resisted the urge to laugh at his little joke but couldn’t help it, anyone who truly knew his past would have got it and laughed, but he figured it come off as a you’d have to be there jokes to Leila. “Long story short I am abnormal.” Her next comments confused Sam a bit; he hadn’t really seen Raina enough around the mansion and seeing as he wasn’t the type to kiss and tell Sam just shrugged, “Didn’t know you were one.” Was all he could throw out.
Sam’s attention then was pulled to another who just walked in after Leila dropped the Freak bomb. ‘Not a smart thing to say around here, lot of mutants would take offense to that. “I’m not the one that would take offense to that but others…” before he could say anymore the mutant was already verbalizing his opinion quite well on how he felt about the word freak regarding mutants. After he finished his speech something that he said clicked in Sam’s head. ‘Fausto Martense…why does that sound familiar…’ thought Sam and just as the first thought struck him the second fallowed, ‘Iron Mouth.’
Sam walked over to Iron Mouth and smiled holding out his hand for a shake. “Hello there Iron Mouth. My name’s Sam and this,” he pointed at Leila, “Is my friend Leila, she’s a bit new here so don’t be to offended about her comment okay?” Sam figured since he was the one that had been here the longest and the fact that he is and X-Man in training the best thing to do was diffuse the situation so no fights break out between them even though Leila didn’t seem like the type to start something.
Sam looked back to Iron Mouth, “Do you need some help with something?” asked Sam knowing full well you had to be a certain age to be in here by yourself. All he had to do was ask for it and he was more than willing to help him out with the danger room. Then looking back at Leila to agree with her comment, “This is the best place to train after all.”

Leila grinned, not exactly catching on too the joke. "Oh well, I'm just not a morning person; usually." she said, shrugging, "Yeah, well I guess all of us with our Supernatrual Quirk end up being Abnormal in some way." she said, smiling. She liked Sam, he wasn't Abnormal too her; well maybe a little... But that was why she liked him. "I see, I wonder why she knew I was arriving then, I'm nearly positive she mentioned you." but the topic had changed.
Leila jumped as an other Man popped from no where. "Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't really mean that, I used too; when I thought what I could do was a little...freaky." she said, apologetically. "Yeah, I know, I know." she said, seriously shocked at how a little side comment could affect people around here. "I didn't really mean it...sorry." she said again.
But the man hadn't stop speaking, leaving Leila with no answer. She nodded and smiled at the right places, but that was it. "Yeah, I am one of...you guys." she said simply as he took his breath. Iron Mouth was his name, Leila really didn't like this man. She smiled and waved however, as Sam introduced her.
"Right, if only I knew where to start." she breathed to Sam, not exactly sure she should let IM know she was a newb; obviously he sort of knew by now.

¨Nice to meet you ¨ he looked at them both with a soft smile in his face . Sam seemed to be really strong and self confident , in the other hand Leila seemed a little nervous about him being around ...
¨she seems to be like that other girl , the Moon girl that hates his abilities as a mutant . why all the people here is afraid to show his powers ? i am not afraid of being a mutant, i am really proud of it ...¨
Sam seemed more experienced in the use of the Danger Room , apparently he was trained alone there . Fausto spoke to both but looking specially at him . ¨How about a training session ? i want to learn how to fight without my evolution... my evolution is too strong ... i don't want to hurt you in a simple training and ... i don't know how to use the danger room ... ¨ He made a big smile when he stare at him a second . he don't wanted to sound arrogant about his mutation but corrosive saliva melting your flesh isn't a funny thing . he just dont wanted to hurt his mates...
Fausto stopped talking , instead of that he started to think at ligtning speed while he was waiting the answer . he wanted to use the danger room , the legendary room...he wanted to learn a fighting style ... or at least how to use the danger room to train in the future ... Luke promised to help him with some close combat train ... but he cant train only with him ... he needed to be strong faster to erase all the evil .
¨I cant believe i am in the famous danger room , all the big students are talking about it . they tell amazing and epics tales about training sessions in the danger room . the smarts ones also talked about the technology behind the simulation ... something really complicated ... i only understand that the room use a kind of solid light ...is just incredible . what kind of evolution can use her? perhaps a weird kind of transportation making changes in the space/time , that would be amazing... perhaps she can use toys like a puppeteer ... ohh a abilities like the one Torq used , wings like an angel ... ¨

¨How about a training session ? i want to learn how to fight without my evolution... my evolution is too strong ... i don't want to hurt you in a simple training and ... i don't know how to use the danger room ... ¨
Sam smiled he heard talk of the “legendry” Iron mouth around the mansion but never had the pleasure of meeting him. Sam got the feeling that Iron mouth had no problem in the confidence problem. He walked closer to Iron mouth and smiled, “Well what’s your ability? Must be pretty tough if it can hurt us in a simple training session!” Sam waited for a response and then turned to Leila, “Well, Leila if it doesn't upset you to much how bout having a little training? Promise I’ll set it on easy till your ready.” He tossed a small wink Leila’s way and then turned back to Iron Mouth, “seeing as you need an older student in here to make sure you don’t hurt yourself I’ll be keeping a eye out for you so be careful not to hurt me with your ability, sound good?”
Sam turned his back to them and walked to the center of the room and called out, “Computer, run simulation ‘Sam’s Special easy mode’.” With a smile he turned back to them as three humans formed out of thin air and stood in a fixed location. There were three sizes one for each person there. Sam’s partner was the size of a marine while Leila’s was a fit looking male a few inches taller than her while Iron Mouth’s was almost identical in height to Iron Mouth himself. Sam smiled to them and pointed Leila to her partner and Iron to his. “Right, well if it’s okay with you guys we can do a little basic sparring and go from there, just bring your partner to the ground like this…” Sam turned to his partner and got into a fighting stance which his partner mimicked. Sam ran forward and grabbed the marine’s shirt and did a calf to calf sweep throwing the marine on the ground quickly. “So if you can get them to the ground let’s see it.” Sam tried to hide an excited look as he looked away from the two. This was one thing Sam seemed super competent in and it was one thing he felt he could do for the rest of his life.

Iron didn't seem to be speaking too her, so Leila decided to make the best of it, and looked around at the surroundings. The Danger Room was a largew room, it looked pretty basic, yet high tech. Maybe Sam could show them both how this Room worked; not that Iron seemed to lack knowlege of. Leila did though, and thankfully when her attention snapped back to the boys, Sam was talking to her.
"Cool, I wouldn't mind; only problem is... I'd need Salt Water... You see, I can only use my Power in Salt Water.." she grinned, but Sam seemed to have better ideas, and before she knew it, a handsome Man who was surely not real, stood beside her. "Alrighty," she muttered, listening to Sam's explaination. Then came the Demonstration... Sam wasn't as awesome as he had been back in the Café.
"Okay, I'll try." she sighed, flexing her hands and pushing her side bangs out of her face. She bit her lip, getting ready to punce on the Man's back. "Argh!" she screamed in a high pitched tone as she bounced on the Man's chest, clinging to his neck. "Okay..." she breathed, looking at what Iron was doing. Too her surprise, her instincts acted and she punched the man in the face, falling back with him.

He was trying to remember some old lessons Torq taught him before arrived to the mansion the first time . Fausto rely too much in his powers , his mutation wasn't only a ability to fight , his mutation was his way to life . without his power he would starving to dead a long time ago ... finally he find the archive he was looking for , his mind was full of lots of memories and random knowledge making the search a little difficult... imagine the biggest library without order , all the books mixed ... that is seemed to his mind .
"React boy. Move Faster. React faster. Let your instincts take ahold."
He run toward the imaginary boy, when he get closer enough he made his foots slide in the ground toward the boy and in the last moment he ended the move with a circular slide kick to sweep his legs . in fact his legs were swept and he ended falling to the ground with a dry noise .
"Lesson two. If your opponent can't stand. Your opponent can't fight. If you have to slam your foot down into their knee. I don't care if it shatters their knee cap. They will go down. They will be in pain. When they are down dont let up. Start swinging fast and hard. They will be done."
The other boy was laying in the ground , Fausto was the winner but he wanted to show a little more , perhaps if he cause a good impression Sam would be glad to teach him a few things . Fausto quickly get up ,standing at the side of the other boy . He put his right leg in the air , and let it go to the ground with all his strength , the improvise drop kick fall faster and hit the boy . the kick lacked of technique but his foot descent fine in the little boy chest probably doing a great damage .
"Last Lesson. In a real fight. There are no rules. If the guy is three times bigger then you. Or just a better fighter then you... if you are thrown into something that can be used as a weapon. If you can get your hands on something then use it. I don't care if its a brick to the head. Or a sharp stick in the groin. The only rule in a fight is don't lose. Do what it takes to win. Poke an eye. Scratch. Bite if you must. Hit them in the crotch. I don't care. Only the loser cries about something being unfair."
Fausto spits in the laying corpse , the saliva melted a little part of the clothes and superficial skin making a few little threats of smoke . He spoke with confidence to the two ... He noticed Leila knocked down his guy a few moments before him .

Leila waited, looking down, not willing to meet Sam's eye and see his expression on how terrible she had done. Seriously, if he was disapointed in her, she'd be pretty upset. She really did like Sam; if he thought of her as weak, would he want to teach her again? No wait, hang out with her? Really, it wasn't as if she had a crush on him... But did she care if he didn't want to see her again?
Actually, she did.
Anyway, before she knew it, she saw, from the corner of her eye, a friendly hand reaching out too her. She took it, slightly embarassed. "Hey!" she said, "Don't be too harsh on me, it's my first time." she said, smiling back at him. Then some so called flirting begun "Okay," she said, moving her hips like he had told her too. "Like this?" she asked. The little bit of fun didn't last so long however, as Sam was now back his Teacher self.
Lei had nearly forgotten about IM, how weird he must of had felt, watching the two of them being like that. Before she could take a glance at IM, a new Target had formed in front of her, this time a rather muscular female. "Alright," she breathed, mentally seeing what moves she'd do. Okay, she was ready. Taking in Sam's advice into account, she balled up her hands into fists and with a heavy blow at the Virtual Woman's stomach, sent her flying to the ground.
Fungus had been looking at the welcome packet he had been given by Neena when he noticed a map. He studied it for a while, taking in the enormity of the place he supposed he now called home. No, it wasn't home, it was where he was living. There was a big difference. Home is where the heart is, and Fungus had left his heart back with the rest of his old life in Boise. That was someplace he would never again visit, if he could help it. So, in a way, he would always be homeless. He might not even have a place to live if anyone here found out about what happened...
Fungus was hit with a bout of inspiration. If he could learn to defend himself without rotting his opponent into a pile of mush, then maybe he wouldn't have to kill in self-defense, wouldn't have to add more weight to his moral burden. With that thought in mind, he scanned the map for a training area, or at least an open room he could use. What he found on the sub-basement level surprised him, but he headed for the Danger Room nonetheless.
When he got there three people were already in the room itself, facing off against opponents Fungus supposed were virtual. Watching as the lovely lady one of the trio took down her opponent, Fungus nodded. Not bad, kept the enemy down for at least a bit, with no permanent damage. The other more adult boy took his opponent down with a simple leg sweep, while the obviously juvenile boy just killed his enemy. That ticked Fungus off.
Well, it seemed as if the older boy was giving self-defense lessons, and that was what Fungus needed, so as he began the next simulation, he walked in. "Hello, my name is Fungus. You teaching self-defense here?"

He listening Sam when he spoke about the fight ,he was right . he killed the dummy boy , but what is the problem with that ? the boy was just a illusion , not a normal boy , he wouldn't do that to a normal boy , right ? He stare at him with a little smile , in any way he showed him what he could do . ¨yes sorry , i just let my ¨Instinct ¨ go free for a few seconds ... i will make all to hold the ¨Instincts¨ , i will not kill again anymore ... that's the reason i am here ... i need to improve my combat skills in a normal way to avoid using my evolution to fight ...¨
at the command “Computer level two intro!” three bodies started to appear in front of they again . this time would be a better fight , one vs one . the basic of all combat. A boy appeared in the Danger Room , another one that wanted to train ... Fausto didn't wanted to share if professor with many people ... when you get a big class the professor had less time to talk and tech well to each student ... ¨ You teaching self-defense here?¨ The question was directed to Sam but Fausto answered for him . ¨We are not here for self defense training, we are mutants , we knew how to defend ourselves , we are here to try to learn a basic way of combat without our amazings powers ... normal people just die when they try to fight us . and perhaps some day normal people learn a way to shut down our powers ... we need to learn to rely in another thing too ... ¨ The clone for Fausto started to run toward him while he was talking . he show his back to the enemy , a big open fora deadly attack . the clone reach Fausto^s position quickly but he was expecting him . the clone go forward a few steps with a frontal kick but Fausto moved quickly enough to block it with both arms crossed in front of his chest .he take the impact and push him away with a quick move that let a open in the clone defense... the clone lost the balance a few seconds , enough time to give Fausto a change to connect a hit . Fausto go forward with a punch with the right hand but the clone did a backslide to gain time to block the attack ,he block Fausto^right arm at the height of the elbow with his left hand and connecting a direct hit with his right hand in Fausto^chest... The wound of the knife hurt a lot when the illusion hit him in the same place .its suppose to be a illusion but it was real enough to make him feel pain . Fausto was taking a excessive demands upon his reflex and agility , obviously the clone was more quick than him .
¨I cant lose to that trash , i am ten times better ... no , i am thousand of times better than that useless trash , even before the match started i was the only one predestined to win , i will be the winner no matter what¨
The imaginary boy run toward him again but this time he stopped a few steps away from him and tried to connect a circular kick , he did it . Fausto get hit with the kick but he was expecting that , he held the boy^s leg while he drop his free hand like a hammer in the joint at the bend of the leg.one , two , three ... his leg was in a bad position , that kind of attack have to be dealing a great damage to the boy , with a more heavy blow than before the knee made a awful sound that said the trick worked well , but he hit his knee again to get sure and he used both hands to push his leg and throw him to the floor.

"Hello, my name is Fungus. You teaching self-defense here?"
¨We are not here for self defense training, we are mutants , we knew how to defend ourselves , we are here to try to learn a basic way of combat without our amazings powers ... normal people just die when they try to fight us . and perhaps some day normal people learn a way to shut down our powers ... we need to learn to rely in another thing too ... ¨
Sam looked to the boy who just answered and was about to say something, when Iron Mouth interrupted his train of thought. Sam was a little upset with how Iron mouth decided to respond to the question. A little upset that his teaching could be used for another reason than self-defense Sam cleared his throat, “Computer three level eights around me, now!” yelled Sam as three large muscular men formed around him. Sam didn’t even get into a fighting stance before the three men rushed him at once Sam side stepped in-between two of them as he did two quick jabs to their throats and then jumped to the third and did a quick jab to the temple. Sam landed as all three fell down dead. Sam then looked over to Iron as his face became cold and heartless, “As I said only moments before, any monster can kill, if I ever find out the things I teach you are used for other than self defense your going to have one pissed off ice manipulator coming after you!” Sam walked closer to Iron as he looked him in the eyes, “I only teach self defense if your looking for more ways to kill I suggest you leave…” then Sam’s face turned back to a calm complexion, “But if you want to learn how to defend your self stay, and no powers from you what so ever… you want to learn, learn it right…” Sam had flashbacks as his masters told him the same thing over and over again but they had a tendency to throw in punches and kicks that would normally leave the five-year-old version of Sam crying from the pain…
Sam looked over to ‘Fungus’ and said, “Yeah I am teaching self defense… you want to learn come on in…” Sam then walked over to Leila as he put a hand on her shoulder and said, “good job”. Sam then walked to where his three dead virtual partners were, “Computer… I need four level fours…” as he finished his sentence four images appeared as the rest disappeared. He looked to the group and said right so instead of striking we are going to block, I don’t want to see one strike or kick thrown at all…” Sam got into a stance as his partner started swinging left and right of Sam’s head trying to make an impact. As he blocked them with ease he said, “when they throw a punch or kick all people have a tendency to have movement around the waist and hips, from there you should be able to tell which direction there are going to move and attack…” after a minute of blocking all the attacks with the hands and forearm Sam said, “Right your turn.”
Sam watched all of the people in the room as his eyes settled on Iron he was going to have to apologize to him after this was over…

Leila gazed at Iron Mouth, her teeth gritted together. Her mouth felt dry when he finished his little unecesary speech, but that was nothing compared to Sam's anger. It sort of freaked her out too, unlike in the Café, he actually seemed dangerous as he killed those three strong men. Bitting her lip, Leila simply watched, afraid she'd say the wrong thing and get Sam angry at her too.
She had even forgotten about the virtual man sprawled on the floor. It wasn't until Sam had put a hand on her shoulder that she snapped back from the spot where he had beaten the Virtual Men dead. "Thanks," she muttered, her voice uneasy. Then the Computer made the unconsious Virtual Man disapear, fallowed by a new female, strong, slim and pretty.
"Okay, Blocking." she said, a little more easily as she glanced at Sam, then back at her opponent. "Let's do this." she breathed at the woman in front of her. One, two three... The woman aimed a blow at her head, but Leila simply dodged it by moving her upper body slightly at thhe right. An other blow; she lowered herself into a crouch, then back up again, only to jump out of the way of a kick.
"Um, Sam...." she said, yet again dodging a kick in the stomach. "I can't - off! - do this - yikes, that was close! - mich longer!" she panted between kicks and punches. She risked a glance at IM, to see how he was doing, when the Dummy caught up with her unknown skills and hitpunched her in the chest, sending her backwards a few feet.
