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.

Daria braced herself as Soul lunged, her fingertips tingling. She wouldn't hurt the wolf but she'd give it a serious haircut.
Actually, as the wolf got closer Daria didn't even trust her self to do that. She knew if she so much as touched the wolf with her claws it would have a very bad ending. She was too distracted to teleport herself and looked around madly. As if on cue the bench in the hall way teleported just inches away from Soul's feet, an unexpected obstacle in the bounding wolf's way.

Soul was bounding towards Daria when the bench materialized in front of her feet. Her front-left paw smashed into the middle of the bench, becoming tangled in the wood. Sould went headfirst into the ground, both her and the bench smashing together. The piece of furniture and the werewolf traveled about three yards down the hall with the momentum of Soul's charge in a mass of werewolf, wood, and blood. Various nails in the wood had pierced her flesh. She was not terribly injured, but furious that the cat was getting the better of the wolf. Slowely getting to all fours, she slapped what was left of the bench away. Standing on her hind legs, she roared at Daria and began charging at Daria once again.

The bench had been voluntary actually. She's finally figured out how to teleport without touching something. Unfortuanlty there wasn't much in the hall to work with.
Daria hissed back and lashed out with another roundhouse kick as the wolf got close.

Soul caught the kick in the side of the head. Her head was turned to the right, and smashed through the wall. Her head now stuck in the wall, she pulled it out by bracing her hands against the wall. She shook her head, eliminating the feint disorientation caused by the kick. Lunging at Daria she intended to land on top of her and pin her to the ground.

Daria's nostrils were filled with the scent of Soul's blood and before she could think twice she had slipped into full frnzy mode. She was so desparate to rip the wolf-girl to shreds that she actually countered with a lunge of her own.
During frenzies her endurance and strenghth were increased but she didn't know if it'd be enough to match Soul. She could put up a good fight though.

Soul's claws met with Daria's, and her weight slammed them both to the floor with Soul on top. She held Daria's hand against the ground and attempted to bite Daria several times.

Daria hit the floor hard, struggling beneath the wolf andsnapping back herself. But her teeth weren't nearly as sharp and her strength not as great. She eventually had to lift up a knee and hit the mutant in the stomach.

Soul lept back suddenly. The knee to her stomache had hurt, but that was not why she lept back. Slowely Soul's fur began to grow shorter, and her claws returned to fingernails. Her head once again becoming human, she dropped to her knees from the pain of the transformation. She raied a hand up to Daria as if to say to stop. "Wait... I can explain." Desiree said.
"And I think that's enough, ladies," Mike said, pulling Desiree off of Daria with his mind, keeping her away from the claws, and pulling Daria away in a separate direction.
"Sorry, honey, but I don't think we're supposed to cause real harm, even if it's deserved," he thought to her, sending calming waves over Daria's mind.

"I'm sorry." Desiree said, standing to her feet. The cuts and scrapes that Soul had endured were not on Desiree's half-naked body, thanks to the physical transformation. Remembering this time that she was without a shirt, she reached over and put her top back on, latching it in place. "Sometimes Soul can take over. I can't control the beast when she's in full rage like that. I can keep her from attacking someone, but you sorta screwed that up when you called her Fido." Desiree explained. She scowled at Daria, and moved over to Ruki to reassure her that everything was ok now. "I'm sorry if Soul scared ya darlin." Desiree said softly.
((Mike can you edit? Desiree wasn't a werewolf anymore.))

Daria was still breathing heavily but she was calmer now. she was able to sheath her claws and tried to breath through her mouth to keep from smelling the blood.
Mike set her down next to him and she immediatly leaned into him.
"Yeah," she said to Desiree. "I can't say I'm too fond of you calling me Kitty." she countered.
Yeah, I don't want Tricity mad, but she spazzed first...for the record.

"I just want you to know, I didn't say it. There's uh... well there's two of us. Me and the werewolf. The transformation isn't just body, it's mind as well. She's been yelling in my head about smelling a cat in this place all day long, and when I saw you, well I couldn't keep her from coming out." Desiree said apoligetically. Other than a feint headache, she had no fatigue from the fight.
