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.

Like a breath of relief the Ice man finally lost out to pain and lack of blood he guessed, how his blood wasn't a solid in that tempature he didn't and would never know.
Mercury came to his feet as Sam started to weave and rushed back forward he glanced to Mars," should I finish the job?" Mercury, never sure where to fall on the big decisions, his moral map was no where to be found not because he was evil but because he lacked the sense to maintain any alignment. Mercury glanced to shin as well, waiting for anyone to say the word that could end sam's unprotected life.
Mars shook his head to Mercury, "No, we don't have time for that. You should go make sure the pretty one is OK, she was the one that melted the ice that was burying you I think." He then turned back to Sam as he spoke with Shin. "No, we were there but not as the fool. Pluto would be the one you are looking for." Mars was still sore of the antic that went too far on the covers of magazines trespassing on Lori's dignity.
" what do we do to sustain your comrade? I doubt we should take him somewhere warm after that last statement. Any chance you have any command over your people? If you could call retreat, I think these facilities have seen enough useless carnage."
Mercury bound up to Circe and attempted to scoop her up in a hug. " are you OK , the pretty one?" Mercury exclaimed "thank you for melting the ice! I need cocoa!" if he indeed actually scooped her up he would set her down moments later.

The screen went dark as Sam felt a sudden feeling of relief it was over and he was down for the count, no longer would he hurt his friends and the effects of haywire for the time being had subsided, he wished he knew more about the effects after Garret had been infected but at the time he was more focused on Sunny seeing as he had put him in the hospital. A footstep a ripple of water and a drop and Sam’s attention was to the old man who he had come to accept as his spirit guide. ”That was a mess… don’t think Doc will have any free time for a while, you got beat up quite a bit didn’t you?”
Sam frowned slightly as another drop of water could be heard from the distance, ”Your to calm for all of this…. And what do you mean Amanda is looking for me? I haven’t seen her in like five years,” the last meeting didn’t end on the best terms but there was nothing he could do about that no anyways, no the best he could do is figure out a way to block her from his mind but as the Old man said, she would most likely find him, she was the most powerful telepath that he had ever met. ”Why do you think she is looking for me?” Sam asked knowing the answer but still wanted a second opinion even if it was in a way his own.
”Think about it, you left T.A.T. you're a rouge agent, you don’t just walk away and hide, they search and more often than not send people who like you are very skilled in what they do, frankly I’m not surprised they hadn’t tried to make a move till now, Aiden should have been a wake up call at least, think about it, your easy to recognize, your in the papers and on the news every now and then and frankly you got sloppy in covering your tracks. You get sloppy when you get comfortable, and Sam you are far to comfortable…” Sam watched the old man his body shifting downward and landing on all fours.
Sam blinked once and the old man was no longer there but his counter part the wolf. ”Not saying that you should leave, just be smart, go forbid anyone gets hurt… well more than what every one is now…” Sam watched as the wolf turned his back to him and started to walk into the darkness.
Not even bothering to argue with the wolf man in the slightest Sam knew all to well what happens to Rouge agents on the run who get sloppy more often than not they get a dirt nap six feet under… he wasn’t going to be like one of them, he had far to much going for him to let something like that happen to him. ---- It was no longer warm it was cold, very cold and for the brief moments that Sam opened his eyes he spotted a few people he cared about, Alex hovering over him, and Shin with a broken limb a few feet away from him then there were the two big red guys from his dream.
Eyes trailing from one person to the next Sam noticed something red out the bottom of his eye, redder than the Abyss brothers… it was blood, weakly Sam lifted his head for a moment and eyed his chest which was covered in metal arrows and holes. His head getting heavy and his hearing gone Sam dropped his head to the ground as everything went dark.
(OOC: Sam is officially passed out so feel free to skip, until you guys figure out what to do with me)

>>"Should I finish the job?"
>>"No, we don't have time for that. You should go make sure the pretty one is OK, she was the one that melted the ice that was burying you I think." Mars replied to Mercury. Shin looked between the clones, and shook his head.
Then came the answer.
>>"No, we were there but not as the fool. Pluto would be the one you are looking for."
"I see..." Shin nodded through a grimace, supporting his broken right arm with his left. He filed that away for later, alongside the fact there were more than one of these planet-themed primate-primes. Kinda funny. Ha ha. He'd met one of them at a Valentine's day ball, and now Sam was nursing a broken heart... or bleeding. Whatever. Something in him was broken.
>>"What do we do to sustain your comrade? I doubt we should take him somewhere warm after that last statement. Any chance you have any command over your people? If you could call retreat, I think these facilities have seen enough useless carnage."
Shin shook his head. "Most are inside... there was a healer here earlier, but..." Shin glanced around, searching for the one called Slate. Somewhere in the distance, a pantsless man wandered just out of sight, and a now-pantsed air elemental flew, fighting off voltage and magnetism like a boat in a rain storm. Shin bobbed above the flooding waters, uncertain what to do. He scrunched up his face. "Maybe we could take him back to the mansion, see about our healer Doc Prof doing something... unless you know any healers close by?"
"Alex..." Shin walked over towards her, ignoring the twinge of pain he got with ever single step. The cold air that hung around Sam hadn't dissipated fully yet. Shin was thankful for the numbness... "We need to get him back to the mansion..."
He turned towards the labs, pulled out his communicator, and spoke. "Shin to the X-men. Shin to the X-men. Sam is down. Repeat. Sam. Is. Down. Retreat, wise? Over."
Suffice it to say, Shin still didn't know the communicator was less a radio, more a cellphone. The call went out to whoever was listening, all the same.
The words hit her like a ton of bricks and made Alexandra frown and bare her teeth. She shook her head slightly, they would have to get trough her to 'finish the job'. The Doc, she reminded herself. Getting up from her position, she was about to reach for her cell phone when she was scooped up in a hug. And all she could do was to blink.
"Are you okay the pretty one? Thank you for melting the ice! I need cocoa!
Alexandra blinked again, uncertain of what she should do ... or say. A few moments later she was placed back down. She forced herself to to create the illusion of a half-smile on her lips. "I'm fine. And you're ... welcome?"
A movement caught her eyes, it was Sam, he was trying to get his head up. "D-" His head fell back down and the molecule manipulator closed her mouth. She exhaled noisily. At least he was alive, she proved herself when she could feel molecules of oxygen being inhaled.
"Alex..."
Her name being called caught her attention, and she turned her head to Shin. Eyes trailed over his broken arm with concern. It seemed like Sam wasn't the only one who needed medical attention.
"We need to get him back to the mansion..."
She looked at Sam again. He didn't look like he could be moved around from side to side. "Perhaps it would be wiser to call the doc here?" she said as he eyes turned back to Shin. "We don't know if any of his internal organs had been damaged and a trip to the mansion could be fatal. We also don't know how he would react when he wakes up, if the Haywire will be completely drained out from his system when he wakes up. This ... " she gestured toward the battlefield "happening at the mansion wouldn't be the best idea."
Alexandra reached for the cell phone in her pocket and took it out. Before dialing, her eyes trailed over Shin's broken arm again. "And you need the doc to see you, too."
Mercury nodded vigorously as he agreed with Alexandra. " Yes, I am welcome." Mercury glanced into the distance seeing others were still fighting and decided to bound into another fight. "Bye, the pretty one." The big crazy oaf ran until he met a group of combatants, he jumped into the air and crashed down on the lot of them, friend and foe alike.
Mars glanced at the pair. “Well, unless you need him moved now and want the help, I will be tending to my own people.” His look said that they were stupid to even have shown up. this, was all unnecessary. If it had been left to Pluto he would have accomplished what forty or so people were currently hurting each other over. So pointless, al of it.
Who stood over someone with caring eyes even as they were helped by their enemy to save themselves from allies? This was a screwed up day. He looked around observing the whole scene of King pharmaceuticals and not liking what he saw, Mutants pairing off against mutants all this potential thrown against it self in futility. Their facilities suffering as the battle ground of choice. He waited a moment longer to hear that Shin was calling for retreat and was satisfied.

"You're-- right." He finished weakly, his statement an exclamation point on Circe's sentence. He looked over at Sam. Moving him wouldn't be the best idea. ... that was right. Don't move the injured unless you have to. Shock... or was it the risk of adding further injury? Shin didn't remember much from the tiny bit of first aid training he'd gotten way back when he'd tried his hand at life-guarding one summer.
His eyes fell down to his own broken arm. It jutted at an odd angle he'd neglected to appreciate, up until now. A trickle of red blended with the brownish-pink. He blinked at it. "That's new."
>>“Well, unless you need him moved now and want the help, I will be tending to my own people.”
Shin's eyes shifted back up, mind a bit hazier. "And yeah... that's fine." He rubbed the side of his head, closing one eye. A bit of pounding to rattle his brains back in place. "You take care of your own. If anyone's severely injured, we can show them to our healer when he gets here... if you want."
Circe was calling DocProf now. He caught her staring at his broken arm, and turned away to stare at the battlefield. Mutants, fighting mutants. Crashing sounds, the crackle of danger. It was all so pointless, so dangerous, but...
After urging the Doc to come, Alexandra pushed a button on her phone, then with a sigh placed it on her belt. Her eyes fell on Sam's harmed figure and once again kneeled next to him. Her fingers caressed his hand for a few moments before being wrapped around it. Giving it a light squeeze, Alexandra closed her eyes while teeth sank into her lips. When she reopened them, she glanced on the battlefield, her head shaking slightly at the sight.
She didn't want this. Mutants shouldn't fight with eachother. How could any of them deceive themselves with hopes of peace with the humans when their were fighting their own kind? She looked at Sam again as images of him while his powers were going haywire ran trough her mind... She didn't understand why was someone protecting that atrocity. Alexandra's eyes shifted to Shin's figure. He was also looking over the battlefield and something told her the Asian was thinking along the same lines. Checking Sam's breathing again, Alexandra straightened herself up and paced away from him, heading for Shin.
The molecule manipulator placed a hand on his shoulder, as gentle as possible, in an attempt to comfort. Her eyes loomed over the fight once again before she focused on Shin. "I should have a look at your arm..." Words trailed off in the air as she let her hand slip away from his shoulder.
Mars nodded to the pair standing over the broken body of a comrade, he would have sneered or said some snide remark, except for the fact he was almost certain today spelled disaster for him as well, he would be standing over a comrade soon enough. Wondering if they would get sewn up in time. He waved with the back of his hand as he walked away from the pair. He then set into a jog as he saw Mercury was already rushing into the fray.
They'd send their doctor to help them out, like heck they'd need their doctor, they had the unicorn! Master over the living and their feeble attempts at hurting them selves. everything would be fine so long as sebastion was on their side... it was about that time that he looked up to see Abyss taking a death delivering swing at Sebastion and sendding him crashing into and possibly through the building across the street.

>>I should have a look at your arm..."
"... It's fine," Shin tried to shrug her hand off his shoulder. "You should take a look at Sam's injuries first. I know we can't... shouldn't move him, but.." Shin took a step towards the ice elemental. His face twinged at a new stab of pain. Knees seemed to buckle, but he was fine. Really. "This sort of injury is nothing." He tried to ease her worries, cradling his broken arm closer to his chest. "A broken arm will heal naturally. I'm not bleeding much anymore either. But Sam..."
He eyed the fallen frame of Sam's body. "He's seeping out fast. We should try and apply pressure, stave off some of the blood loss, or else..." There wouldn't be anything left of him to heal, Shin finished in his head. No reason to let the words leave his lips.
Alexandra never got one thing. Why did males always had to play brave? Take Shin for example. His arm was broken… and instead of letting her at least take a look at it, she was kindly shoved in Sam’s direction. She glanced at his figure again. Did Shin think that if she could have done more she wouldn’t? His condition was way out of her league. She was an infirmary assistant indeed but she didn’t have any healing powers or any equipment with her. With bare hands what exactly could she do?
“Shin, seriously, I wish I could do more… but I can’t. I already removed the arrows from the wounds but… I don’t have anything around here that could help me.” Sighing she looked at the scene. Yeah, certainly nothing there. Shifting her eyes back to Shin, she sighed once more. “Besides, the doc said he’ll have that Nate kid fly him over.” If the situation would have been different she might have smiled at the thought. Instead, she looked at Sam, worried as she checked the flow of oxygen once again. He was breathing. Hold on Sam.
If someone was to look up, somewhere in the distance, two spots, one black, one white could have been seen, growing in size with each second.

"Don't have anything around? Alex... your hands. You apply pressure with your hands on the wound. Or even using a shirt. Look. I could give you my shirt, and you could apply pressure to the wound... put weight on it, keep the blood in, but..." Shin's heart was beating hard in his ears now as he bridged the icy gap between him and Sam. He pulled at his jacket, trying to work it off... though maybe... ugh. That wouldn't work... oh boy. And then the whole world was spinning. Shin dropped to one knee in front of Sam.
Yes, he was lightheaded. Yes, he had a broken arm and was losing blood fast. That didn't matter. Shin looked to Alexandra. "Maybe I could put some pressure on the wounds with my shards...?"
That just might kill me, though... He suppressed the thought. The teeth of the zipper parted as Shin worked the jacket over one shoulder boldly... only to get it caught on the other one that held his broken arm. Shin winced.
Her hands. Yes. Her hands. Too bad she only had two. Alexandra looked at the multitude of wound on Sam’s body. Her hands and Shin’s healthy one wouldn’t do the job. She kneeled next to Sam herself, looking at Shin sympathetically. “Shin, you had lost blood yourself. I don’t think that’s a good idea.” she said softly, as she pressed her hands against two of Sam’s wounds. Definitely not enough.
The two spots above them closed in quickly, but only when they landed behind her Alexandra noticed their presence. “Doc, seriously, you need to loose some weight.” The molecule manipulator turned her head around to see Nate as he laid his hand on his knees for support as he panted. Blinking slightly, blue eyes trailed to the doc prof just in time to see him throwing Nate a dirty look before hurrying to her side. “What happened here?” the doc asked as he kneeled next to her, watching Shin for a moment before placing his hands on Sam. Retracting hers, Alexandra sighed. “A fight happened. Just heal him.” She commanded as teeth were gritted together. Alexandra looked at Shin, concern in her eyes. “Shin, you should back away. We don’t know how he will react once he wakes up and you are not in any condition to fight.” After finishing speaking, her attention turned back to Sam as the doc proceeded to heal him.

"In any condition? Yeah...." Shin's eyes narrowed momentarily, then relaxed. She was right. He pulled up off the concrete, pushing off his knee, and retreated a few steps. The thought that he was injured still hadn't set all the way in. Sure, he was hurt. Shin had been hurt before. Many times, in fact. And each time, he'd gotten through it on toughness and willpower alone. Toughness and willpower! Why couldn't they see that? He pulled his broken arm up and supported it in front of him.
His eyes fell on DocProf and Alex as they did their best to heal Sam. Poor guy was hurt so badly. What had he... Shin's mind faltered momentarily as his face twinged. Their bodies shifted double. Taking in a quick, ragged breath, Shin sat down. Ugh. He wasn't tough enough for this.
"Hey Alex?" Shin finally gave in. "Can you come over here and take a look at my arm? See if we can... splint it... or do something right now to stop the blood l-- blood loss. I don't want... don't want any DocProf-grade healing, but..." His face fell. This was hard for him. He wanted them to know just how hard it was.
Her name was called. Alexandra looked up to Shin, a frown appearing on her face as he spoke. She hated stubbornness. Minus when it came from her part, because she was the stubborn one. She gave a small nod to him before turning her attention to the doc for a few seconds. “Be careful doc. Sam hasn’t been himself.” With this warning and a last glance at Sam, Alexandra got up and walked over to Shin, eyeing his arm for a few moments.
Sighing, she looked to her side where pieces of metal were laying scattered across the ground. In a few seconds, some sort of blade appeared in her hand. “Well, we actually need x-rays before the doc could heal you, anyway.” And that, that was her way of being stubborn. “Okay, Shin, use your other hand to support this one.” In the same time, her free hand went to Shin’s wrist, ready to support when he would lift the injured arm. With a short glance over her shoulder to check on Sam and the Doc, Alexandra waited for Shin to be ready.

That was...
A big piece of metal Alex was holding in her hand... um. Blade, what? Shin wanted to squirm, but kept still. Was she gonna cut him with that? Shin had willpower but... in the event of needles and/or incisions, Shin was a large child. A large child with issues. At the moment, those issues fell to the point of the blade and sat there, impaled beyond recognition.
Sharp... In the world of sharp things, Shin was king. His shards, his mind... he'd cut so many things with his shards. They were sharp. They were deadly. A danger to friend and foe. He'd cut himself with his shards. Therein lay the first source of the issue Shin had right now.
"Um, Alex... w-what's with... the big knife?" Shin gulped.
Her hand moved to Shin's wrist, ready to support it when he lifted his arm. He lifted it hesitantly, still eying the blade.
