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.

The first thing that Kealey was aware of was the fact that it felt like she’d slept with a gym sock in her mouth for half or all of the night. The second thing that she was aware of was the fact that she’d ended up asleep somewhere when the last thing she remembered was hopping off the bar stool to give Venus a hug. Her eyes were still shut and her head was dully aching as she stared at the back of her eyelids. The bed was warm, and the sheets were soft, cotton though. Had Venus brought her home? Kealey didn’t remember anything after the hug, so that must have been the way of things…from memory, Venus definitely hadn’t had simple cotton sheets. That was a good thing, a very good thing.
Before even opening her eyes, Kealey had regrets about the night before. She’d accomplished the task of drowning out the other emotions, but not remembering how one got home was usually not a good way to go about things. Emotions. There was definitely someone else there, and close too. Kealey’s eyes flew open and she sat bolt upright in the bed, clinging to sheets that turned out to be bright red. This definitely wasn’t her apartment.
A quick look around showed it wasn’t Venus’ room either, unless he’d moved since the last time Kealey had been there. Her head was throbbing and the things in her stomach were doing really funny things, and Kealey squeezed her eyes shut for a moment before opening them again and turning to look down.
Yup. She definitely wasn’t alone.
”Oh…saints above be praised…what in the Lord’s name happened last night?” she muttered to herself, risking a peek under the sheets and finding herself fully clothed. The blond let out a relieved breath, at least Venus had remained a gentleman. That still didn’t answer the question of where they were…and why she felt so bad. Groaning and falling back into the pillows, Kealey reached out and poked a big red arm.
”Venus…wake up. Where are we?” the blond said, grabbing one of the pillows and using it to keep the nasty, nasty light out of her eyes, ”And why do I feel like I’m dying?”
~~”Oh…saints above be praised…what in the Lord’s name happened last night?”
The poked red arm shifted toward her and pulled her a little bit closer. His thoughts were playing about in a whimsical manner that could only be sought out in dreams, at least for this particular red fellow.
~~”Venus…wake up. Where are we?”
“Venus?” Abyss said a bit confused, he woke up, as he reached for the lamp near the bed that got left on while they both proceeded to pass out, he pulled the little string twice and the bulb was dim. since they were underground, this was about as dark as it could get with out sending them into absolute black.
~~”And why do I feel like I’m dying?”
“ I am guessing, that we feel like zombies because we tried to drink everything the bar had.” His head popped up as he tried to get a better look at who the heck was in his bed. She was a blond and she knew him somehow….and thought he was Venus….Abyss looked under the covers as well.he was dressed, but was she? If she thought he was Venus and came home with him, well he was glad they hadn’t gotten undressed. He for one didn’t want to catch anything. And while his bother, according to a monthly tests done in the infirmary he was clean, he couldn’t be sure about those that would go home with him. Abyss rolled out of bed. He glanced at the floor ok, he was only seeing shoes.
“We‘re in my room and I am Abyss by the way….and you are?” He said a bashful hand on his neck, He looked at her curiously. Most of her was under the cover…Please be dressed too. He really didn’t want to take the amount of showers it would take to feel clean again if he had just been with one of Venus’ girls.

Kealey didn’t fight the arm that pulled her closer, Venus wasn’t hurting anything and after everything he’d put up with last night a snuggle wouldn’t hurt. Until Kealey felt the emotions filtering through her pounding, heavy head. Confusion? The blond shuffled away under the sheets and sat up to look better at the other occupant of the bed. The light dimmed and Kealey sighed a little in relief, now it just felt like she was in imminent danger of death instead of immediate.
That confusion from the other side of the bed was disconcerting, though. Why was Venus confused? They’d drank a lot, but Venus knew Kealey, and she knew him.
As her cuddle buddy spoke, something sounded off about the voice. It wasn’t the same smooth timbre Kealey was used to hearing from Venus when he spoke. He checked under the covers and Kealey took a peek too, their sighs of relief were identical. Everything right up until they left the bar was fuzzy but present, after they’d decided to get a cab, Kealey wasn’t sure what had happened.
Embarrassment now, and Kealey’s eyes widened as the man, apparently Venus’ brother, spoke. ”You’ve got to be kidding me?” she said, voice a horrified squeak to match the rolling of her stomach and the pounding of her head. Suddenly the room was spinning again and the blond shut her eyes, swallowing a little convulsively, ”Kealey. Kealey Quinn.” The feelings were different now, and she was horrified to find disgust there, and a little fear. What had she done?
Some sort of explanation was required, she’d poured her heart out to a complete stranger the night before. Had she really drank that much? It hadn’t been her intention at all, to meet someone that way. It had seemed like the perfect situation, tons of alcohol and a trusted friend. Instead, she found herself waking up next to a complete stranger. At least they were dressed. Kealey spoke, voice muted by the hands she’d slapped over her face, ”I’m a friend of your brother’s, a platonic friend of your brother’s.” Given Venus’ reputation, Kealey felt the qualifying statement was necessary. ”I’m so sorry for the confusion. If you couldn’t tell, I wasn’t at my best….how much did I drink? Do people always feel this bad?
A short laugh was his only reply. Was he really so disappointing?
~~”Kealey. Kealey Quinn.”
“Oh, Kealey Quinn.” That name wrung a bell and if it was the girl that he thought he could be a bit more relieved, maybe, Venus was persistent after all, but the last he heard she was still a four leaf clover to his brother, hard to find but worth the hunt…He supposed it was particularly accurate with the Irish girl not too far away from him.
~~”I’m a friend of your brother’s, a platonic friend of your brother’s.”
The air went out of him. “Ok, well that is a bit of a relief, no offense but well lets just say I don’t pursue the same girls my brother has. I am sure you know why as I’d bet you are working at the title of platonic while around him.”
~~ ”I’m so sorry for the confusion. If you couldn’t tell, I wasn’t at my best….how much did I drink? Do people always feel this bad?”
“No, no. I am sorry. I shouldn’t treat anyone that way. And yeah, I am pretty sure we had about forty or so drinks all together, I don’t know how many of those are yours and how many are mine, it takes a lot to get me drunk though so I assume that the majority of it was me. And yeah when people drink like we just did they do.”
“hmmm, let me start over Kealey Quinn.” He stuck out his hand and sat back down on the edge of the bed. “ I’m Abyss and its nice to meet you. There was plenty I was confused about last night and I thought it was due to the drink but I see now that I had reason to be confused. Do to the mix up. I was going to make sure you got home but you passed out once we started driving and I couldn’t get an address out of you, so I brought you back here. And considering your abilities I’d like to apologize if I insulted you a moment ago.”

Abyss became more contemplative as Kealey introduced herself and his mood lightened considerably. That was interesting, apparently word of her had spread amongst the brothers. The notion was confirmed after her next statement and Abyss’ next response. Kealey frowned though, exactly what kind of women did Venus usually pursue that Abyss was so worried? Kealey wondered if she was included in those women…or somewhere outside them. She shook her head, then tapped the side of it.
”I’ve got his number. I don’t have to work too hard, mostly because he’s nice enough to reign himself in for my sake. You see…I don’t just know the emotions, I feel them too…and that’s a very uncomfortable situation to be in…especially if I‘m not particularly interested in anything romantic. ”
At the sheer amount of alcohol they’d apparently drank, Kealey’s eyes widened…a mistake because as the light flooded in, so did the pain of the hangover. She groaned and slapped her hands over her eyes. ”That’s….a lot.” It took her a moment to focus again…Abyss was contrite as he apologized for the way he’d treated her, and Kealey shrugged her shoulders. If the women Venus usually romanced were dirty enough to elicit such a reaction, she couldn’t blame him for being apprehensive.
Geeze this whole thing was embarrassing, Kealey thought as she swallowed, trying to clear her dry throat. Her tongue stuck to the roof of her mouth, though, and Kealey winced at a the rolling that produced in her stomach, ”I’ve never drank like that before…” the blond sighed, ”It definitely didn’t make my problems go away, and now I feel terrible.” She looked at the big red man who was currently her bunk mate. He’d introduced himself, and she was being rude. She reached out and took his head, attempting a smile, ”The pleasure is mine…I’m lucky I ran into someone as chivalrous as you.”
The longer she was awake, the worse she felt and Kealey swallowed again as the blood flowed from her face and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead, ”I think there might have been something bad in one of my drinks….I don’t feel so good.”
~~”I’ve got his number. I don’t have to work too hard, mostly because he’s nice enough to reign himself in for my sake. You see…I don’t just know the emotions, I feel them too…and that’s a very uncomfortable situation to be in…especially if I‘m not particularly interested in anything romantic. ”
“Ah, I see. So then he is at a disadvantage with you, I am sure he loves that. He has to behave to ensure that he doesn’t cause you to misbehave, with out wanting too. Well then I will have to give him a bit more credit than I do. Don’t get me wrong, I am never sure if he is simply a master of seduction or if the women he seduces are wanting to be seduced. I suppose really it is none of my business.”
~~”That’s….a lot.”
~~”I’ve never drank like that before…””It definitely didn’t make my problems go away, and now I feel terrible.”
“yeah, I save that sort of drinking for once in awhile, another brother of ours, Jupiter is on a quest to ruin his liver as quickly and thoroughly as possible, he drinks like that, a lot.”
~~”The pleasure is mine…I’m lucky I ran into someone as chivalrous as you.”
“Oh, I wouldn’t say chivalrous, I did after all still get in bed with you. I don’t know” he put a thumb and forefinger to his forehead.
~~”I think there might have been something bad in one of my drinks….I don’t feel so good.”
“I think it was in all your drinks. The next day isn’t always pretty dear, I’ll be right back, there will be coffee and bread somewhere. If you need or want the restroom its just right there, make your self at home.”
Abyss walked quietly as he could threw the halls and finally to his destination of the coffee machine and then he went and snagged a loaf of white bread from the pantry. This was his way of doctoring a hang over. Bread for the stomach, it soaked up the acid…or at the very least made him feel better psychologically. And the coffeewas for the brain, it helped for whatever reason. He grabbed some creamers and sugarpackets on the way back coming to his room.
