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.

~~“Depending on what you mean by classic, I love Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant. ‘Bringing up Baby’ is always funny…”
Luckily for Jaxon he meant both, he had everything from gladiator to it’s a wonderful life.“ummm. I haves some Audrey H. and Jimmy S.” not to mention a library of anime.
“You missed!”
“Did not!” he moved his finger over scooting the gummy bear toward her tongue and happened to brush up against her lips. He had always thought she was attractive, but something in that moment made him more aware of her then he had ever been. Maybe it was the fact that she was silly enough to go along with him or maybe it was the here and now and the fact that they both had wounds to heal.
The pizza was done. *beep beep beep*
~ ~ ~ ~ Three weeks ~ ~ ~ ~ *faded to black*
It was time to get up. *Beep Beep Beep*
They weren’t asleep but they were in bed and somehow the night went by with a quickness and no sleep and it was time to get up. Pluto reached over and while he was tempted to smash the clock he simply pulled the clocks plug from the wall and returned to Jaxon, plopping down next to her and breathing her in. His eyes telling her that his mouth was somehow to shy to say.
He had never ever been shy to say a word I his life up until now. It was ridiculous but she made him shy and wild all at once. His mended tail swung back and forth like a cat ready to pounce.
It sounded like he had some good movies and she liked the sound of them. His response to her light-hearted jab about him missing had her primed and ready to tease again. However the brief brush on her mouth seemed to make everything pause. Jaxon didn’t know what to do and slowly a blush was climbing her face. She ended up swallowing the bear whole, without choking somehow, and stared at the look on Pluto’s face.
Luckily, before she had to respond coherently, the timer on the pizza went off.
~~~~ Three weeks ~~~~
Her eyes had been closed, though she wasn’t asleep she had been hoping for a bit the stuff, and the sound of the clock was an evil reminder of the morning to come. The large warm body rolled away from her own, and Jaxon let one eye open slightly, watching him come back to her.
Throwing an arm over his chest in her own protest to the alarm, she scooted upwards slightly, so that she could meet his gaze propping her head on her other arm. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted his tail, and shook her head, planting a kiss on his mouth. “No, not again! If we have time for that, we have time for sleep.” She flopped back against him. “Please tell me we don’t have to get up…”
She sighed gently, and contentedly snuggled her head to his shoulder as her body curled against his. She really didn't want to get up when their bed was so comfortable. Looking up at him again she couldn’t help but suddenly be concerned. He had a strange look on his face. “What is wrong?”
~~ “No, not again! If we have time for that, we have time for sleep.” “Please tell me we don’t have to get up…”
He laughed. “you sleep, I’ll play?”
~~“What is wrong?”
“Nothing is wrong, in fact a whole lot is right.” He poked Jaxon’s belly under the cover. “just making sure I’m not dreaming.”
He bat his eyes at here and resisted tickling her into wakefulness. “ We should take shower….s? soon. It is going to be a long day. I have to get to the energy mill sometime today.” A yawn erupted from his mouth and opposite to his words he snuggled in closer to Jaxon.

With a sleepy smile, she nodded at his ‘sleep, play’ idea, her voice teasing. “Works for me… Wake me up when the good parts start.” When he poked her she laughed, poking him back then leaving her hand resting on his stomach, her fingers lightly touching. She had to agree with him; if this was a dream it was a pretty good one. Jaxon couldn’t imagine anything better at the moment.
At his blinking attempt to convince her she nodded, using a common pretense. “I do like to save water…” It really wouldn’t take much to get her to share a shower with him, she was already hoping too, but she would need real coaxing to get out of bed at the moment though. It was far too comfy. Jaxon wondered when he had to leave, hoping they had a bit more time. There were days when she wanted an automated morning, like the Jetsons, that would shower and dress her without needing to wake her up.
But he was right. They both had things to do. Jaxon was doing odd jobs, mostly things that sometimes needed and extra set of hands like helping at the school, working with the growers, or helping with the paperwork in the administrative offices. Today was mail-day. She would be spending most of the day helping to sort the mail and getting it ready for delivery, then helping with the delivery. Jaxon kind of liked that she got to do something different everyday, it kept things from getting boring.
Not that boredom was a problem at the moment. Feeling him move closer, Jaxon grinned. With a bit of concentrated effort, she crawled on top of him and burrowed against him. Nuzzling his neck and chin she settled down again, feeling him breathing beneath her. “We need to plan better. Why do we do this when we are busy?”
Though the question was joking, they really needed to figure out a schedule. She was exhausted lately, and the past few days she had been feeling puny. Taking some more vitamins, and telling herself to resist the man she was currently laying on, would hopefully help.
~~ “Works for me… Wake me up when the good parts start.”
His hand slid down her side and he watched his hand caress the pale white flesh. “wake up.”
~~“I do like to save water…”
He grinned. “Maybe you can sleep and I will wake you in the shower.” She knew she couldn’t pin him physically, but situationally he was happily stuck, she obviously learned somewhere along the way, that her on top of him meant him hesitating.
~~ “We need to plan better. Why do we do this when we are busy?”
“Um, I could work hard today and clear my week out, there isn’t a whole lot planned for me today, I heard we got another strong in recently.” He smirked. “ a fourteen year old girl that can throw a punch like me. And you can do what you like, you know why they are sending you around on all the jobs right? They want every one to know you. If you like the od jobs I can help you catch up an get ahead tomorrow…and then we could take a week. No need to be exhausted, we aren’t in New York any more, everybody takes a few days off around here now and then.”
“ready, set? Cold.” He launched out of the bed scooping up Jaxon as gravity made her slid off of him. He then jumped over the rail into the living room below, a mad dash for the bath room and they were there. He flipped a pair of switches, one was an aggressive heater that would make it warm almost hot in the room and the other turned on the light and a noisy fan.

Jaxon was enjoying his coaxing towards more physical activity, and smiled when he said he could get a break. Lifting her head with an excited expression and wide eyes she perched on top of him. “Really, a fourteen year old? That is wonderful.” She sighed at the thought of a week of rest.
At his assertion about everyone wanting to meet her she shook her head in disbelief, quickly moving on to thinking about how she could clear her schedule for the rest of the week too. “Oh stop, why would everyone need to know me? If I work quickly today I can finish with the mail and get most if not all that paperwork done, and if I get one of the teens to cover tomorrow in the growers area… I think I could swing getting the rest of the week off too!”
Jaxon had managed to befriend a few of the teens from her time helping at the school, and she was blissfully unaware of the slight crush a few of the boys had. Now that she was thinking about it, one of the girls was a plant manipulator and one of the boys had water powers so either of them would be more helpful than Jaxon was anyway.
She looked down at him in satisfaction of her plan, only to have a brief warning before he launched the two of them out of bed. Having just enough time to wrap her arms around his neck, she tried not to squeal in his ear as they dropped off the second floor. She shivered, but soon they were both inside the quickly warming bathroom. “You are very bad.” Despite her words she smiled, and gave the back of his head, and his sleep rumpled hair, a stroke.
Now that they were out of bed she really didn’t have a choice about getting ready, so might as well get it done. “Fine, you win… I’ll shower.” Wiggling her way down to the floor, she grabbed the towels and set them within reach, and turned on the water. Her skin prickled in the now slightly chilled air, and soon hot water was flowing. Stepping in, casting a glance over her shoulder, she winked at him. “Going to join me?”
~~“Really, a fourteen year old? That is wonderful.”
“Haven’t met her, but that is the word around the camp fire.”
~~ “Oh stop, why would everyone need to know me? If I work quickly today I can finish with the mail and get most if not all that paperwork done, and if I get one of the teens to cover tomorrow in the growers area… I think I could swing getting the rest of the week off too!”
“one, because you are new, you might as well be a celebrity for the next month or two. Two, because you are you. Three because you gorgeous.” He said this knowing full well that her form was fine, as he got to appreciate it as no one else her did, all natural.
~~“You are very bad.”
“if, being bad gets these kind of results I might have to keep it up.”
~~“Fine, you win… I’ll shower.” “Going to join me?”
“don’t mind if I do.” He glanced down and realized he was still nude too. He walked into the shower, pulling the curtain closed behind him and grabbed the soap and began to wash Jaxon. He wondered if she would notice what parts where the cleanest by the time he was done. Retrospectively he was glad that he had built a large shower.
Trying to play scold him wasn’t going well. Pluto kept making her smile, which ruined the effect. How could she be difficult when he called her gorgeous? Glancing down at where his hands seemed to spend the most time, surprised at how quickly her energy returned, she decided to return the favor and stepped closer… Using the bubbles from her own skin instead of the soap and her body rather than her hands, Jaxon helped clean his rich red skin.
The slick soap and water combination felt familiar, making an odd combination of feeling too much and not enough. Why couldn’t I see Pluto this way when I was 18? Jaxon couldn’t understand why she hadn’t seen him as more than a friend. How had she lived without this kind of joy and freedom for ten years?
Odd thoughts to have while in the shower with the man in question and both their intentions, but she couldn’t help voicing a small portion of her growing feelings for him. “Pluto, you are an amazing man…” … and I’m sorry I didn’t notice. Jaxon wasn’t quite ready to say the last part, but if she could go back- things would be different.
After a few minutes of ‘cleaning’, Jaxon pushed him back against the tiled wall, panting slightly. If he wanted to play, she was ready and willing. With a little help from him, which shouldn’t be a problem, she would be able. With an expression that he was probably starting to recognize, she guided his hands, directing him to her current fantasy and smiling in wonder when his strength made her weightless again.
~~Fade to black~~
Her back to the tile, Pluto leaning over her and against her, Jaxon was trying to catch her breath. Somewhere along the way they had switched positions, though he was standing on his own. She couldn’t say the same for herself. Once she could speak, she couldn’t help but laugh, her voice still light and breathless. “We really don’t save water when we do that, do we?”
“and you are an amazing, valkyrie, or a siren or a nymph. Something mystical and breathtaking anyhow.” He grinned at the last word seeing as she was getting a certain look in her eyes. He liked that look.
~ ~ ~
~~“We really don’t save water when we do that, do we?”
“water?” he paused not quite paying the most attention to what shee was saying needing a moment for his ears to send that to his brain and then for his brain to gain enough blood to process the thought. “We wanted to save the water? Oh right. Yeah I’ll pump so more into the water tower. No big deal.” He looked at her and pouted slightly.
“More importantly what time is it and do we have to leave? Then again the sooner today is done the sooner I can have you to myself, for a few days strait.” He grinned again and remembered to set her down after a few well placed kisses. He wanted to attack her again, but this town needed him and he couldn’t let his soon to be knew mini co worker start her first day by herself.
With a sigh of pleasure Jaxon kissed him. He says the sweetest things…
~~~~
Jaxons was rapidly coming to the conclusion that Pluto was very adorable when his brains were scrambled. He lost his mind and she lost control of her body. What a pair they were. She grinned over the fact that he hadn’t caught on that she was joking, and nipped the lip he decided to pout at her with.
“I have no idea, but I think we are both going to be late… But if we keep thinking of our mini-vacation, we might make it out of this bathroom and through today.” Finally getting a bit of control over her limbs, she stretched the kinks out of her joints. When he seemed interested in another round, she stopped, realizing that she might be bringing it on herself. I thought men slowed down after 30… The thought made her smile, half wondering if he actually had slowed down or if he had always been so capable.
With a smile that said ‘sorry but not really’ she scratched his back the way one might do for a cat. She planted a kiss on his shoulder and moved a bit to that she could rinse, still using the wall for support. “Come on stud… I think we have to get moving if we want those free days.”
~~“I have no idea, but I think we are both going to be late… But if we keep thinking of our mini-vacation, we might make it out of this bathroom and through today.”
“Yeah I suppose.” Sigh, grumble, sigh. “silver lining, eyes on the prize.” His eyes flickered over her and he chuckled to himself. He had always thought he liked being a bachelor with no strings…but she was definitely rallying an interest in him to settle down a bit and think about a relationship, not that he was a hussy or anything but he had little interest in a long term anything.
~~“Come on stud… I think we have to get moving if we want those free days.” He shook his head away from the thoughts that had seeped into his head and nodded to her, “whatever you say action. You know I feel like that nick name has a different meaning now.” His eyebrows bounced up and down at her suggestively, He laughed and made a run for it before she smacked him. Heading to the laundry area and to grab his clothes, he was a fan of dripping dry in the shower for a moment and then not worrying about it. The South Pole hadn’t broken the habit from him so he didn’t think anything could.
Watching him grumble was amusing to say the least, and she had the urge to do it more. His comment about the new meaning for her name was about to get a response, but all she managed was a glare before his escape. With a chuckle and a muttered comment about him being a smart man, she followed his lead in getting out of the shower, but didn’t wander quite so far. Wrapping a towel around herself, she dried in the bathroom, doing her lotion and facial routine quickly.
Soon she was dressed and dashing for the coat closet after glancing at the clock. In a purple cashmere sweater that dwarfed her and made her look slightly overwhelmed, with several layers of shirts underneath, she was warm enough for inside Pluto’s dome but not the harsh weather outside of it. Throwing her bag over her shoulder and sliding the huge coat over her arms, fastening it all the way to her knees and the large boot over her feet she shouted a goodbye to Pluto, even though she wasn’t sure if he was still there himself.
Dashing through the snow and weather, waving to some of the kids going the opposite way, she made it to the mail room quickly. She managed to get to work with a few teasing comments but soon settled into chatter with the other helpers.
~~~~~ 7:34pm same night ~~~~~
Jaxon pushed back the snowy hood of her jacket, shivering in the doorway and stamping the snow off her feet, and waved to the shopkeeper. With a last shiver, she grabbed the small hand basket and headed to the back of the store.
After grabbing milk and a few other odds and ends that she had realized were absent in the house, she was in one of the small center isles when she overheard some women talking… about her apparently.
“She doesn’t seem that bad. I haven’t met her but Jenny said-” “I don’t care what Jenny said.. She just swoops in and we’re all supposed to adore her just because she is slutting around with Pluto? It’s unfair if you ask me.” “No one asked you…” “You are just saying that because you had your eyes on him…”
The younger woman who seemed to dislike her the most made a derisive sound in her nose before speaking again. The group seemed to have an average age of about five years younger than Jaxon from what she could tell, and for the first time since she had been here, she missed New York. In the city she could have strutted around the corner in one of her nice dresses and heels and given the girls a look. Jax glanced down; the scenario didn’t work out so well in what she was wearing.
“So what? I saw him first, so she should get lost.” “Actually, I heard that they knew each other years and years ago…” “I meant NOW. Besides, she is so old, what could he see in her…”
Jaxon shook her head and paid for the small basket of items. She couldn’t listen to that any more.
When she got to Pluto’s house she put the few grocery items in the fridge and looked around. Then she shed her layers and flopped onto the couch, staring at the wall for a few minutes. “Why am I letting them ruin my mood…?” Her soft mutter prompted her to heave her tired body off the couch, slap a smile on, and go in search of Pluto. He was a good mood, and she needed a dose.
Pluto suited up and of course waited for the woman to get ready. he followed her out as quietly as he could and then tossed a couple of snowballs in front of her, making sure not to hit her. he then waved before he cut off to another path. From there he ran to the mill. to train the youth, who when he walked in wasn't surprised to see that she was a unique looking little lady bright blue long spiky hair and almost too pale skin, bright teal eyes that seemed a little large but had na indearing effect. she fit in the scenery here like he stuck out. " hello there, I am am Pluto."
"Shymere. you can callme shy. " she stuck out an anything but shy hand out for him to shake and then in the first time in years squeezed on her hand shake in such a way that Pluto had actual noticed and had to flex to not let his hand crumple. he returned some of that killer grip in respect of the young womans excelerated strength. " Impressive." they said in unison and then laughed a very simple short. heh. neither of the pair new quite what to think about being on the same wave length as someone on the opposite side of the age and gender spectrum. but inspite of it they became fast friends. she was also a fast study, not that there was a lot to it. turn the gigantic crank and get the pistons to pump, the pistons heated and produced kinetic energy and moved gears below to produce more friction and yet more energy they then went even further into science that pluto didn't quite understand to produce the energy that this growing comunity needed. the wind mills were great, more than great, but they had found that this little system could produce enrgy more effectively. with in a couple of hours and every tip that Pluto knew to give her. they were switching off every ten minutes or, working together at a rate that a third citizen had asked them to take it easy on the machinery. He then took her to show her some of the other super strength jobs that were required around. girder bending. sure they had machinery, but machines used enrgy and they took longer to operate. soon the pair had that done and then they went to organize the were housees something he had been puting off. but again the pair had the work done in record time.
Pluto grinnned at the little imp that had become his coworker and rattled off an in joke about mountain tossing. and told her that they were going to call it a day. and would more than likely not see a day as long as this for quite some time. he looked down at his watch and noted that it was 7:55 and time to go home. he went home walked in the living room to find Jaxxon getting up off of the couch. he grinned at she was still wearing the same clothes and he was sweaty. " Hi Doll." he walked up to her scooped her up in a hug and then a chaste kiss and laughed a devilish laugh. " I think it is about time we showered again." he had after all spent the whole day working hard. and getting dirty...not that he woul have roled around on the ground out side before he came in if he happened to be clean.[/color]

Sure enough, before she got very far into the search for him, he appeared. When he scooped her up, the forced smile became less forced and more real. “Nice timing… I think hot water sounds like a wonderful idea.” She gave a sigh of pleasure at the thought, not even aware that she had been holding her breath since she left the market. The breath brought in the smell of him, and she couldn’t help but relax a little. She knew it was the pheromones in his sweat, but that didn’t stop her from thinking that it smelled good.
She wasn’t dirty, but she was tense and hot water would get her to relax again, and the fact that Pluto was so willing to hop in the shower with her didn’t hurt either. She couldn’t believe how much those women had bothered her. After being one of the younger wives for so long, she had never lost the body confidence she had as a teen, but something about hearing someone call her old for the first time was rather crushing. Must be one of those first-time things…
With a shake of her head she looked back up at Pluto. “Common Meatball, lead the way…” She tossed him a smirk and a look, adding, “And if you think I forgot your comment from this morning you are wrong… I’ll show you Action.”
She slapped his bicep playfully, something that she could have done much harder without hurting him, and dashed away from him while pulling her sweater over her head. One of the downsides of the weather made it hard to strip quickly though... Too many layers.
~`“Nice timing… I think hot water sounds like a wonderful idea.”
“I am glad you think so.”
~~“Common Meatball, lead the way…”
He dashed to the thermostat and turned it up a bit making it so that later they might not be freezing when they got out. She smacked him playfully an he returned the favor on her rear, as always being extra care to do it with just the right amount of swing as to not break her and just add the slightest amount of sting.
~~“And if you think I forgot your comment from this morning you are wrong… I’ll show you Action.”
“Yes, please.” Looks like his day was going to end quite like the way it started. He couldn’t disagree more about the layers, it was all about gratification delay. Each layer that came off was closer to the goal, but it took more time then pulling up a skirt or pushing strings off of shoulders. There was of course something to be said for the scantily clad, but there wasn’t enough recognition for those that wore more instead of less. He followed her into the shower, and he thought that it would be a good idea picking up where they left of, he hadn’t bothered to turn on the water. He simply helped her undress and then lifted her and put her back to the wall once more.
