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.

Pluto turned to the side and raised an eyebrow… “Its not as if I haven’t seen mars naked before all I have to do is take a shower.. I had to see what this extra security was all about. He flicked the door knob playfully. I waned to swipe something with your size in it so I could make the sailor outfit fit just right, but you’ve ruined the surprise. I will guesstimate.” He turned back toward her and then walked strait up to her. He put his arms out to his side and then moved in to hug her. He would embrace her gently so long as she didn’t electrocute him.
“ You know I think we are gonna make great friends. I know you are a mischief maker. And you are smart and crafty. I doubt there is any one that would make a funner friend (rival) to have around here. Really now, I am going to bed if, you want to have a slumber party, I’ll take the floor and you can have the bed.”
“Mars does arithmetic in his sleep, I don’t so much as snore.” He smiled down at her and then flicked her hair playfully with his tail. It was very….catish.
“Its not as if I haven’t seen mars naked before all I have to do is take a shower.. I had to see what this extra security was all about." He flicked the door knob playfully. Lori shook her head. Admittedly, the security had been a farce and it wasn't that she had things that she wanted to protect. (Most of them weren't even hers and she could care less if they stayed or went. They were only things.) It was more the secret. That she had been through their things and chosen what was useful and what was trash and the fact that only a bookshelf and maybe a comic or two had made it from Pluto's room to Lori's... well, it didn't speak highly of their overlapping tastes.
That and she really didn't want Pluto to have any dirt on her. Well, any more dirt on her. I waned to swipe something with your size in it so I could make the sailor outfit fit just right, but you’ve ruined the surprise. I will guesstimate.”[/i] Lori frowned at him and then frowned harder as she pulled off her shoes. She unbuttoned her pants and pulled them off before yanking at the sweater she'd been wearing. Her PJs were still under her clothes so it wasn't as scandalous as it seemed, but she had a present for him when he came up close and personal.
She tensed for the hug, but no tricks were readily visible. No reason to shock his pants off either. Shame. Lori shoved the still warm clothes into Pluto's arms, anything to keep him from extended hugging. Amends started with pants.
“You know I think we are gonna make great friends. I know you are a mischief maker. And you are smart and crafty. I doubt there is any one that would make a funner friend (rival) to have around here. Really now, I am going to bed if, you want to have a slumber party, I’ll take the floor and you can have the bed.”
"I'm flattered. No, really I am, but I think I'd rather a cuddle buddy than a knife in the dark." Actually he was lucky he didn't try that door. She was more than prepared to bring the house down around his ears even if it exhausted her to the point where she couldn't wake up on her own. Someone would have figured out to hook her up to a car battery and give her a jump eventually.
“Mars does arithmetic in his sleep, I don’t so much as snore.” He smiled down at her and then flicked her hair playfully with his tail.
"That reminds me, he told me to see him after class. Guess I'll be taking a rain check on that slumber party. But I can still paint your nails tomorrow if you want." She wriggled out and away. It was one of the advantages of being small. No man could hold you unless they actually wanted to harm you. She nabbed the overly large steel-toed boots from the hall and made for her door. The crack required for her entrance combined with the dark inside was hardly even a peek into the room. But the tongue sticking out from behind the closing door? well that was just Lori being petty for him forcing a hug on her.
Lori wedged the shoes under the crack beneath the door so it was that much harder to get in. It did nothing to stop someone like Abyss, but it did everything to make Lori feel less exposed. In fact, she shoved a towel at the rest of the crack just to keep the last bits of light out from the hallway.
At last she turned dazedly to her bed and crawled in. She was frigid from her late night wandering with a definite side of cold booty syndrome. There was only one cure for that...
Pluto was a bit surprised when she started to take her clothes off. And was sure he had some sort of witty thing to say…but what was it?
"I'm flattered. No, really I am, but I think I'd rather a cuddle buddy than a knife in the dark."
“ ah, we will probably have trust issues for awhile, but we will get there. I hope.”
"That reminds me, he told me to see him after class. Guess I'll be taking a rain check on that slumber party. But I can still paint your nails tomorrow if you want."
Ohh, don’t get detention, I have heard kinky things happen in detention. …I think I would like that, do you have pink or yellow?”
Pluto began to walk down the hall with Charges clothes and then snapped his fingers. He was supposed to tell her he just wasn’t that kind of girl…blasted females and their randomly undressing in hallways. He definitely did not notice her midriff as the sweater pulled up her undershirt. She was the enemy and the enemy did not have toned midriffs.
He stuck his tongue out back at her, almost immediately pulling one of his eyelids down anime style, she wouldn’t even recognize it. As her door shut he began to whistle the theme to Andy Griffith. Deep down he was definitely not happy to have someone to bug other than his brothers. Nope just cruel revenge on layer of cruel revenge.
“ ah, we will probably have trust issues for awhile, but we will get there. I hope.”[/color] And the understatement of the year award went to: Pluto! Congratulations, I hope you enjoy your Super Grand Prize of a foiled break-in attempt and Lori's derision. Ooooo!
Lori just arched her brow at Pluto and his comments. Like she owned any nail polish. But then again, she'd meant to tease Pluto and imply his shortcomings since his stellar counterpart was demoted from planet status. Ah well, she could save that one for another day when her mind was sharper.
Bed was soft and welcoming and expansive. That was the glory of two beds pushed up together. You could roll and roll and roll and not hit anyone or anything. Lori peeled off her tall socks, they just weren't as fresh after being in shoes and walking through the hallways. After freeing her toesies, she sighed and flopped backward.
Her arms smacked into flesh. So much for her fancy-free rolling and rolling and rolling. She sighed in exasperation. Mars hadn't gone home yet? She tried to unravel enough sheet and comforter from around the massive sleeping log to at least cover herself. She was freezing. After several moments of futile struggling, Lori sighed and leaned her forehead against a warm arm. Even asleep, she couldn't strong arm him out of anything.
After the Pluto thing, it was probably safer with him here, but now she couldn't even sleep in her own room.
Mars heard some of the conversation. He rolled over and feigned sleep. Things had just not gone how he thought they might, for one he assumed that Charge would have been happier to see him, for two he hadn’t meant to babble about making children with a woman that didn’t even want to commit to a open ended relationship thing…He really hadn’t meant to send her off on a quest to make up with his petty brothers as if they couldn’t replace anything they had here.
Mars stirred a bit and then turned to her in the bed . “Finally made it back.” He said with a wide yawn. “You are freezing.” He stated bluntly and covered her up. “If you move into my spot I’m sure it’s still cozy. I think, I’ll be on my way after you warm up. I can fix your door before I leave if you like.” It wasn’t that he was disappointed with charge, she was simply her intriguing self. Obviously avoiding a nap next to him but more than that he made her feel awkward enough to make her stay out all night. He looked at her for a moment thought fully. “Sleep tight, it was nice seeing you, tonight. Oh lord, I need more sleep, I am rhyming.” He set up and fixed the covers around her once again.
“Finally made it back.” Lori cringed, but Mars just yawned casually. As if girl sneaking out of her own bed to get away from thinking about commitment was normal everyday happenstance. Sometimes, he was too much. And sometimes... he was just enough.
"Was hoping you wouldn't notice... didn't mean to wake you." Notice there was no sorry. If she was sorry for anything, it was for this... situation. She wasn't even sure why exactly and so she carefully avoided saying the word. No need to for lies in the bedroom.
“You are freezing... If you move into my spot I’m sure it’s still cozy. I think, I’ll be on my way after you warm up. I can fix your door before I leave if you like.”[/color] She hesitated. It wasn't personal exactly. It was the thought that if she caved, if she gave in and let him wrap her up in warm and cuddles and hugs that she was somehow less of a person. She would be somehow less strong and more ... weak. Was it weakness to accept kindness when she was tired?
She was so busy deciding how far back this would put her whole self-reliance, woman's lib thing that she didn't exactly remember to protest Mars wrapping her up in the skin warmed sheets. She smiled and then frowned because she caught herself smiling.
“Sleep tight, it was nice seeing you, tonight. Oh lord, I need more sleep, I am rhyming.” He set up and fixed the covers around her once again. She was practically a comforter taco, a sheet-y caterpillar. Lori pulled the comforter wrappings up around her face so it was just below her ears and settled under her nose. "You don't think Pluto will do anything tonight do you?" She closed her eyes, just resting them really, but she was still listening. Really. She was.
Mars whispered softly “I Will see to it that he does not.” He had just the trick up his sleeve for that oaf of a child. “How could Pluto not see Lori’s vulnerability, she was no different then them, except that she didn’t have six others to relate to. He at the very least would demand that Pluto did nothing to bring actual harm to her. If he couldn’t simply talk him out of dropping it all together.
He comically tiptoed to and out the door after he was convinced she was asleep enough to sleep through a little bit of noise. He went to his room and undid his door knob and then switched it with Lori’s. He locked and shut the door behind him. He wouldn’t intrude on her like that ever again. Next he got a length of rope and tied one end to the mangled door knob previously belonged to Lori. The rest of the rope was then threaded throw the vacant spot for a door knob. Leaving it dangling in side his room the other end was tied to Pluto’s door knob, When Pluto next opened his door Mars would be alerted to it immediately by the rucus that it would cause. He then lay down on his bed his hands locked behind his head and tried to establish a meditative state. But a certain blonde kept wondering into his thoughts and wrecking his concentration.
