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.

Ted was one angry beast. After being slammed into the floor Michael barely had time to spit the dirt out of his mouth before he was tossed up into the air. Landing heavily he got to his knees just as Ted grabbed an ankle and lifted him up by it. Swinging him like a club Ted smashed him repeatedly into the ground.
While all this punishment was having no effect on him, it was starting to ware on his clothes as the started to get rips and tears in them. Eventually Ted seemed to get bored and toss him aside. That toss sent him careening into the mansion.
Getting back on his feet he saw Ted turn towards Iris and the guy trying to contain her. No way was he letting Ted get involved with that. Hefting up another, bigger rock he hurled it at Ted once again, hitting him on the shoulder. “Hey! I’m not finished with you yet!”
Tristan saw micheal trying to distract Ted so he stomped into the ground and manipulated the ground beneath Teds feet encasing them so that he wasn't able to move. "here goes nothing" he took off toward the beast hist Rock fist raised high in the air.

“STOP!” Michael shouted at the kid with the rock first. “You hit him and you’ll make it worse! You want to help, go deal with Iris, I’ve got Ted under control.” Sort of.
He threw another rock at Ted. “Come on, I’m right here!”

The beast swung round as a second rock hit it. Now nothing was going to stop it from devouring this pest!! Then the rock sprung up around its feet. With a snarl, it smashed at the rock with its claws, and as it began to crumble, wrenched its feet free, at the same time bursting forward at its indestructible prey. It smashed him further into the mansion, the one blow sending the prey through several walls. The beast charged through the new passageway, and began smashing Micheal with its fists before picking the prey up, and flinging it through another wall. This was a classroom, and the young teenagers inside squeled in paninc and began to scatter as the beast launched itself into the room after its prey.
Tristan watched as Micheal went flying he ran towards Iris "Were supposed to stop you right" he stopped and faced Iris "Theres only one thing i can think of. " He slammed his foot in the ground and twisted the earth. A circle of earth began to shift around her and shot up inclosing her in a dome. Tristan held the dome together when suddenly his fist began to disenegrate back to there normal state. "Oh goddess not now." The dome began to quiver.

ooc: You guys posted so fast! Man, I gotta get caught up!
Ic:
Raina went flying. Her body felt so heavy and she didn't know what she colided with. All she saw was red as blood flowed from her temples into her eyes and all over her face. She blacked out.
She was vaugely aware of being carried, and then, being dropped. There were voices around her. her head hurt, her body felt limp. Raina wasn't a mutant like the others. She didn't have any crazy strength or wild abilities, and when Raina crashed into something it was like an average human in a car crash.
Her ears were ringing and she felt the ground tremble. For a moment, she could even smell dog fur, but still she wasn't able to move.
She began to slip away into her own unciousness and dream.
She dreampt of home. of Snow, of her family. She kept dreaming of Ted. Something about Ted....
All the while Raina was lying twitching ever so often where Ted had dropped her. Growing paler as the blood left her body.
ooc: someone can help out but I dont plan on having her wake up just about yet. Please don't take her to the infirmary though! You can act like you're trying to get her there, but she will wake up on the field of battle. lol. I'm just busy and can't keep up with the quick postings!

Nicki ran over to Raina when it was safe and looked her over. "Dammit! She's going into shock..." Nicki looked around, trying to think of anythign she could do for the poor girl. She was losing a lot of blood, she was getting colder...she had to get to the infirmary.
Nicki was screwed. She was a buck ten soaking wet and she had to carry another (possibly dying) human being a bit. But the most important thing was getting Raina help...she just hoped that there was someone in the infirmary to take care of her.
Nicki hoisted Raina, put her in a fireman's carry, and started towards the infirmary. She moved as carefully as she could, not wanting to hurt Raina anymore but trying to get her there as quickly as possible.
"Please let DocProf be there. Please please please "

"St...stay away from me!" Iris backed away from the clawed figure she swore was coming after her with another spiked pole.
The water pipes already exposed creaked and groaned and Iris pulled at the water shooting out of them. One of the jet stream literally twisted and turned, as if it were a snake, and came shooting toward her. As it powered toward the figure at high-speed, she turned to run.
She didn't get very far, as the earth seemed to come up and surround her. Normally she wasn't afraid of the dark at all, but it felt as if the earth was heaving, and trying to swallow her, bury her alive. Claustrophobia set in, and she screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Let me OUT!!! Let GO of me!!"[/i]
Two things happened at once. The jet that had been headed for the first figure stopped mid-attack, hovering in the air for a brief moment, before flattening into a thin blade. It slashed at the top of the dome, opening it to the outside. From below Iris's feet another water pipe burst upward. Propelled by the stream, Iris was shot up and out of the dome like a cannonball out of a cannon. Her mind may have gone insane for the moment, but her physical body was still fit. With the water's help, she landed on her hands, and flipped to her feet in the handspring she and Crystal had been trying to perfect. If Haywire did nothing else good, it had given her power and accuracy a major boost.
Once on her feet, she was off again. She could sense a body of water nearby, which would give her all the protection she felt she need. If she could just get to it....[/color]
(OOC: I'm headed for the pool. Anyone want to join me? )
Tristan saw Iris run absently over a hill. "Damn it," he looked down aat his bare hands "control i need control!" he slammed his hands against the ground and they formed into rocks again. "Good now listen." he said to his hands. He brought up a slab of rock and took of after Iris surf style. He got to the top of the hill and could see where she was heading. "Oh goddess no, not now." His fist s=disenagrated and the slab of rock sunk to the ground. He was looking down at the school pool.

((*puts on Misirlou* anyone up for surfing 8) ))
Mettaliar stopped as Iris screamed at him. He knew what he wanted to do, he just had to keep Iris from ripping him apart. As all this ran threw his mind something seemed to warn him danger approched and knocked him out of his thoughts. Those warnings were right as a giant tube of water was swirling at top speed towards him. He ducked down and put his arm over his face out of mere instinct.
After about two seconds he took a glance at the jet stream wondering why he wasn't currently drowning. He cocked his head to the side as the stream seemed to have stopped. He soon saw why as Iris stood under, apparently, a giant rock orb. The stream turned it's direction and freed Iris, who shot out of the sphere. He took that oppurtunity to sprint towards her at top speed dropping his staff. His plan was to tackle her before she could get away. Unfortunately he saw where Iris was heading... the pool.
"Crap..." he said to himself. With that he gave it all he can and jetted towards her. If she got to the pool before he could catch her this was NOT going to be good. At all.
As she watched all of the proceedings go on from behind her distant tree, she soon realized she would need to move as the mutant was headed her way. She seemed crazed, as though the whole mansion scared her. But what was it that was affecting her? Seeing that her powers were water based, Fiona suddenly realized where she was headed.
The pool.
Severely against what she was about to do, Fiona began to channel her energies towards calming the woman everyone called Iris. She did so slowly, not wanting to make her go even crazier.
'Slowly Fi... Slowly...' thought Fiona, as she very gradually began to infuse Iris.

Ali watched as the crazy girl started attacking people. One girl was already hurt from being blasted away from the violet haird woman. She managed to stay out of the line of fire when mudballs started bombarding the group. One guy even put himself in front of everyone and took the shots though he didn't seem to get hurt. Ali kept her attention on the assaulting woman.
Deciding to take things to a different level Ali flew up intot he air and hovered over the area where the battle was taking place. She watched the girl shot larger mud balls at people and then take off in the direction of the pool.
"Oh no you don't!" Ali streaked down at an angle that took her across the path of the fleeing female. As she swept down closer to the ground and passed in front of her target Ali sprayed a line of fire on the ground. Regaining her altitude and turning back to face Iris she made the flames intensify and grow higher as they created a wall of flame and heat.

Eldwyn had been in his room playing his violin when the the mansion grounds errupted in sound. Sighing, he looked out the window and saw the chaos. Opening the window he put his violin down and jumped out. After falling a foot, he caught himself, and began to fly upwards. He watched as the girl, Iris, assulted everyone in the area. Two boys got thrown around landing on opposite sides of the courtyard. One of them, he had seen wasn't hurt by any of the previous attacks, so Wyn didn't both to watch him. The other guy was a different story. Wyn reached out with his hand and cupped it, catching the other guy with a telekinetic hand. From how far away Wyn was, it wasn't that strong, but enough that the boy wouldn't die or have serious broken bones.
He had no idea what was going on, or why this girl was attacking, but he would do what he could. Some people were begining to look out of their own windows. He heard some of them talk about going out side. "NO! Get back inside, stay away from the windows. NOW!" Without waiting for their responces, he mentally pushed them back in their rooms and shut the windows.
Every so often, he would catch a mudball here or there and stop it, throwing it off in some random direction. It'd be easier if i could just make a wall... He sighed mentally to himself. Iris was causing havoc with the water system. "She's got some power there." She headed towards the pool. Wyn kept pace with her as he flew above the mansion. A flash, fire streak, then a fire wall. That's interesting. "Careful down there." Wyn called out the flaming beauty.
Wyn spotted someone, another hottie, trying to skirt by to the pool. Without asking, he began to lift the woman off the ground keeping her out of the way of the fire wall. "It's gettin a bit warm don't you think." Wyn smiled brightly to the woman. While he did this he focused on Iris. He began to send powerful suggestions into her mind. Stop. Rest. Calm. Safe.
As he did this he brought himself and Fiona down to the roof of the mansion, in case he lost control, they wouldn't fall and die. He focused on the firewoman. Reaching into her, he gripped her physical body and began to control it, but only her ability to speak. Through her he tried something new, he tried to only speak. "Back off a bit...give her...some...room....trying...to calm...her....." He couldn't hold it. His connection to the woman faultered, he was focusing too much on Iris to hold the connection. His brow was covered in sweat as he spoke to Fiona. "What is it you can do? I saw you down there...what were you trying to do." His breath was a bit ragged but not much, nothing a few deep breaths couldn't fix.

Iris skidded as fire suddenly blocked her way, but rather than stop, she simply changed course. Her path now took her along the side of the fire wall. Since she was already scared witless, she didn't really register the heat.
She felt something in her mind, something.... cool....
Since her powers were still out of control, the calming thought only served for her to think a bit clearer. She halted her head long rush. Mud was still within her reach, and she pulled it to herself, covering herself in as much as she could. Surrounded as she was, she summoned another water jet from below ground, and launched herself directly into the fire wall. The power of the launch and the coating of mud kept the fire from doing more than a few burns. When she hit the ground, the baked mud sort of shattered, releasing from the ball. Back on her feet she made a beeline for the water, which looked like a lake in her mind.
Hitting the water's edge, she dove straight in and power-kicked for the bottom.
