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.

Leila blinked a few times, trying to get the sleep out of her system. Where was she again? Her back was aching, so was her neck. She must of had a long night, what had happened? She looked at the other bed next to hers, Geo was there. It dawned on her, the kiss, the arm. She looked down at it, realized it wasn't hurting one bit. She smiled. Now, to get to the kiss. She had told him she'd let him know about it, if she'd been sane when she'd kissed him.
Yes, she had been. She had wanted to kiss him, it hadn't been the pain. She was sure of that now, because she remembered every minute of last night, and she had liked it. She got to her feet and stretched, her stomach growling. Great, she was hungry now. Missing out on dinner last evening hadn't been a very smart idea.
She sat on the edge of her bed, her eyes fixed on Geo's still body. He looked serene. It reminded her strangely of Sam, every morning when she woke up in his arms, him still sleeping. An inoccent child, that's what he looked like. Leila grinned, even bad guys could look so cute.
Geo had slept dreamlessly through the night, which was odd because of the lack of nightmares he usually had about the day his powers manifested. He opened his eyes slowly, staring at the tiles on the ceiling above him and let the memories from last night gradually resurface. Upon realizing where he was he turned his head slightly to the left to see Leila sitting on her bed watching him. How long had she been there? What was she thinking about that made her stare at him so intently?
Without speaking Geo stood and took a seat in the chair next to Leila's bed. Taking her arm gently he lifted part of the gauze on her arm and looked at the wound making sure that none of the stitches had torn in her sleep. "Good morning." He said covering her wound once more.

Leila's mind was set. She was completely sure that this place was the right one for her. Sure, she knew that there wouldn't be any turning back, but now, she knew she would never want to turn back. This night, somehow, this night had done something to proove that. Or, just, reinforce her thought. She wasn't really staring at Geo anymore, though her eyes lingered on him, she was thinking hard, about her entire life, compared to the few months she'd been here, in New York.
How different it all was. She kind of, in a weird way, liked the Mutant life better. She shook her head slightly as she saw Geo's eyes open, great, he had caught her staring right at him. She didn't take her eyes away as he moved himself closer, sitting in the chair a few feet away. She didn't feel any kind of pain as he took a look at her wound, which was probably good.
"G'morning to you too." she said gently, "What do you think?" she asked, "--About my arm, I mean."
Geo glanced up slightly at Leila before looking back at the wound. "Well I'm no doctor but from what I can tell it sure it's starting to heal and you didn't tear any skin during the night. You do need to come up with a cover story before you go back to the mansion." He gently pulled the gauze back over the wound. He slid back and ruffled his hair and rubbed his eyes, trying to get the sleep out of his system. There was a slight irritating urge in the back of his mind telling him he needed a cigarette, he ignored it. His first priority was making sure Leila was set then coffee then a smoke.
"How are you feeling, any pain during the night?" He asked resting his hands behind his head."[/color]

Leila shrugged, "That's good." she told him, "But as for a cover story, there are plenty of men who would get a kick out of trying to mug young women. The Xys would buy it right up, they aren't hard to fool you know." she winked at him, slidding off her bed to stretch her limbs a little. She walked over to the chair next to Geo, and sat in it. That kiss was still at the back of her mind, and she couldn't help but feel a tiny bit pained. Poor Sam, what would he think when all of this came out? Her being in the Order, her kissing Geo, her... not being who he really thought she was.
She was slightly startled when he asked her if she was hurting at all, but as far as she was concerned he hadn't really notice her jump just a tiny little bit. "Not really, not from my arm anyway. I'm really not used to sleeping in Infirmary beds though. Argh, my neck and back are killing me." she sighed. Would it sound as if she wanted to take him out if she asked for him to join her for Breakfast? Maybe she was pushing her luck, one kiss wasn't so bad especially when she wasn't really fully there... but asking him out was too much.
What if Sam saw her? She bit her lip, glancing over at Geo again. Ah, what the hell... Breakfast wouldn't hurt, even if Sam did end up seeing them, what would he think? It wasn't like he didn't have female friends he grabbed lunch or breakfast or dinner with. "Hey, are you hungry?" she asked confidently, "'cause I am... Do you want to go grab breakfast or somethingf?" yep, Sam wasn't going to worry about her. What he didn't know couldn't hurt him. Seriously.
Geo chuckled, "Well they're not exactly a king size bed in the penthouse suite." Geo said as Leila sat down next to him, he turned at looked at her with his sleepy eyes as she stretched, there was something about a blond seemed to draw his attention from everything else around him. He shook his head as he remembered the she was taken, but then again it was by a X-dweeb, and he would love nothing more then to steal a blond from an X'ey. But alas he didn't want to treat a fellow order member like he did any other girl.
"I think that breakfast sounds like an awesome idea." Geo said with a charming smile on his face. I know a place around the corner from here that has awesome breakfast and coffee. Wanna go?"[/color] Geo asked shifting in his seat looking in the blond's brown eyes.

Leila laughed slightly, catching him looking at her in this 'I'd love to have her for myself' kind of way. Leila wondered for a minute, what would it be like to date this kind of man? She'd dated the bad boy type many, many times... But never an actual killer. It would be a lot of fun though, not having to hide anything. Maybe one day, if Sam really and truly didn't love her the way she loved him, and if he really and truly wanted to break up with her... We'd see. But for now, she wasn't interested in dating him. Why should she be when she had an Ice Elemental as a boyfriend?
Right around the corner? That sounded great. Why should Sam be anywhere near the Sanctuary? She was pretty sure he knew about it... The X-man would probably stay far. And as far as she was concerned, he had plans today, as he hadn't phoned her yet, or last night, hadn't made any plans to do anything. "Sounds good to me." she said with a sly grin. She got to her feetand waited for him to lead her towards the exit, not that she didn,t know the way herself...
Geo tried not too look at Leila too much as they stood and walked out of the room Geo guided her towards the garage rather then walking, sure it was around the corner but the last thing she needed was to be found walking the street with an Order member, it would ruin her cover and Syn would be infuriated. As he entered the garage he flipped on the light and the enormous concrete building illuminated. He guided Leila to his yellow mustang which sat in the far back corner. Raised to be Chivalrous Geo held the door open for her.

Leila walked in silence beside the young man, her arm not even seeming to be injured anymore. In fact, she'd completely forgotten about it. Leila had never been in the Garage, always parking her black convertable in front of the place. She knew it was slightly risky to park it there, where anyone could see and reconize it, but she'd never really felt like taking time to go all the way inside the garage and parking there. The place smelt of gasoline, and Leila hated it. An other reason not to be in a garage to much.
"Nice ride!" she said, looking at the beautiful mustang. She may be an evil, man-loving, manipulative fashinesta, but the blonde actually loved cars. She had always loved them, with her cousin owning his own shop up in Ottawa. "What kind of Mustang is it?" she asked, slidding through the passanger door and making herself comfortable. She really needed a new car herself, her convertable had been built from scraps a few years ago, and the old pick up her father had given her for her 16th birthday was long gone now.
She remembered the last time she'd driven it. She'd been with Seizure, and she'd brought Austin to the Mansion for the first time. Her cousin loved her, but the whole Mutation thing really didn't go so well with him. She really hoped he would eventually change his mind though... Maybe move in the big apple, so they could be closer again. She remembered the old days, when she'd actually lived with the car freak for a few years. That was when she'd gotten involved at his shop, and the love of cars had dawned on her.
Geo closed the door gently behind Leila and walked around the front of the car to sit in the drivers seat.
"This is a 1969 Shelby mustang, modded to perfection by yours truly." He said with a big grease monkey grin on his face as he showed off his pride and joy. "This is the car I learned mechanics on, It was my father's first car too." He turned the ignition at the engine turned over filling the entire garage with the defining roar of the engine and the squealing of tires as Geo pulled out of his parking spot and shot out of the garage and turned onto the street so fast he barely got a chance to breath twice.

Leila was impressed. "Seriously?" she said, examining the inside of the car, and then the parts she could see with the mirrors. "I love it! My cousin Austin owns his own little shop and he's a natrual. Taught me a lot of stuff when I lived with him for a while. He helped me fix up my Convertable. We made it out from scratch. Took us nearly seven months." she added.
She smiled softly at the thought of him being a mechanic-ish. She'd never really met a Mutant who liked cars, and maybe Austin would like to meet him when he came back... if he ever came back. She really had no clue if the Mansion had scared him off.
Then Leila was forced back in her seat as Geo took off at full speed. Leila didn't like that. "Slow down!" she hissed at him, her injured arm hitting the arm rest. It really didn't hurt that much, but the pressure was still slightly uncomfortable. Plus, the fast driving was making her sick, and what if they got in an accident? There were still a few cars driving by!
Geo eased off the gas and onto the breaks when Leila screamed for him to slow down. The car almost instantly slowed to normal speed, he gave Leila a apologetic smile, they were already at the cafe. He pulled into a parking spot behind a large SUV before climbing out of the car and going around to open her door for her.
"Sorry, I'm kind of used to driving really fast, a bad habit to some I guess. But I swear I have never had an accident." Geo said, hoping Leila wouldn't be too upset about his speed, which seemed to be happening to him a lot lately.

Leila laughed, replying to his apologetic smile with a flirty one of her own. One she usually kept for Sam only. She had once been used to going fast, but ever since she'd left her cousin, fast hadn't been really something she'd done. She liked it more slow and steady actually. Geo really did remind her of Austin, even the looks were slightly similar. Austin did have the same hairstyle, though his was blond, and the same boyish look, along with the same style of clothing. Yeah, definately should be friends those two.
Leila laughed again at his comment on never having accidents. "No problem, I just didn't expect it." she grimaced at him, "Can I try to drive it for the ridfe back?" she asked, leaning in slightly too close. "Please? I promise, I'm a good driver..." she pulled back, feeling slightly red in the face. Again, she had to tell herself she shouldn't be flirting like this with him. Though, it was kind of fun. It wasn't like they were serious or anything... Just a bit of fun wouldn't hurt.
Geo chuckled when Leila asked him in a very adorable fashion if she could drive his car on the way back to the sanctuary and then when she realized what she was doing lean back and blush. Geo leaned forward right as she leaned back keeping the distance between them equal. His face went serious and he ran the back of his right index finger gently over Leila's blushing cheek, "I suppose.". He muttered, then stood straight and walked past her chuckling slightly to himself. Playing the flirting games with girls was so entertaining to him, probably because he was just so damn good at it.
He walked into the cafe, a bell rang as he opened the door and held it open for Leila. He walked over to a small booth in the corner, away from the windows in case anyone who knew Leila from the mansion were to walk by because the mansion residents defiantly knew Geo by now. He took the seat positioned so that he was facing the exit and could see who came in and out of the cafe. "This spot is quite, not many people know about it. Besides the people who come here are mostly mutants, seeing as it's right around the corner from a mutant safe house."

Leila felt goosebumps crawl over her skin as Geo's finger trailed her cheek. "Alright!" she said in a very unLeila-like tone. She fallowed him, enjoying the sound of his chuckle. He was rather cute, wasn't he? She had to mentally hit herself hard on the head for that thought. No thinking cuteness thoughts! she ordered mentally, eating breakfast was one thing, but thinking that Geo had a cute laugh while eating with him... while she had a boyfriend? Well, that was a totally different story.
Leila sat down in front of him, not worried at all as to who saw them. "What's the big deal if someone sees us? Nobody ever said we had to be friendly." she grinned at him, a very mischevious, very leila-like grin. "As far as the Xys are concerned, you and I aren't at all of friendly terms okay?" she said quietly, as the menus were dropped in front of them. Now, what would she take? Omelets sounds good right now.
