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.

[glow=blue,2,300]Orion opened the door to his quarters and beheld quite a large room complete with its own bathroom. He began to unpack and set things up in the room. One wall he dedicated to blades and swords. Another to his martial arts equipment. Opening the dresser he began to fill it with his clothes. Once that done he stripped the bed and re clothed it with his. Then he began his usual routine of hiding weapons strategically all over the room. He was delighted to see a fireplace at the far end of the room. Wrapping a particulrly nasty blade he secured it inside the chimney. This done he began to poke around the room some more. Opening an entertainment he noted a big screen TV and DVD player. Nice but not Orions alley. He unpacked his books and settled in to read it on his new bed. [/glow]
[glow=blue,2,300] Orion awakes and goes about his usual morning routine of working out and getting showered and dressed. Then he decides to head out to see Chaos maybe hes feeling better or maybe hes remembered more. He locks the door as he leaves, so noone will know hes living at the mansion yet. Hes not sure who knows but the kids might want to have alook around kinda thing. He heads down the hallways and toward the infirmary.[/glow]
Nipping into his room real quick to grab some deororant and toothbrush he made note that everything was in its own place and not disturbed. He started to grab some pajamas out of the dresser when he realized that he still had his old ones in her room from the last time he slept there. So he put the ones in his hans bak and headed out and locked the door behind him.
*he opened the door to his room and they proceeded in. it was the first time she'd ever been in here before and half smiled at the thought of him living here. she snapped back to reality when she heard a second chopped land and the security system beeped again.* great...there's another one
Picking various blades off the walls and the one hand gun he had from his trip with her up state, he packed himself with enough weapons to hold off an army. She started to select what she wanted off his walls too and he tossed her the gun she had during their trip too. Slipping on his chain mail jacket he told her. "Stick with me until I tell you otherwise." She grinned but nodded at him so he knew she was gonna let shit fly this time. Smiling himself he reached the door now confident that whoever this was wasnt going to last long. Opening the door he spotted crouching figures scurrying up the staircase. The mansions lights had been shut off. "Damn, they turned the lights off." he muttered as they slipped into the darkness.
well...maybe its for the better... *she concentrated on the socket and realized they hadnt cut thepower completely. there was a murmur coming from down the hall where the children's rooms were. a body was coming down the hall, orion preparing to strike. tricity's heart dropped as she saw who it was and grabbed orion's arm, pulling him back. she grabbed janie in her arms, the little girl was rubbing her eyes.* what are you doing here?? *tricity asked, whispering.* janie: "i was sleeping and..." shhh...whisper... janie: "i was sleepin and i climbed out my toy box. i heard stupid billy up here calling for everyone, but i went back to sleep." *there was a creeking at the end of the hall and tricity put a hand to the girl's mouth.* janie...keep quiet, ok? *tricity looked at the socket and the lights in the hall came on.*
Orion spun and threw the knife It embedded itself into the mans arm. The man dropped his gun and fell backwards down the stairs. Turning to Tricity and Janie he spoke quietly but firmly. "That was Weapon 0. Get her out of here, bring her to billy, fast."
Nodding Orion moved over to the window air conditioner and punched in the desired air temp. Returning to the bed he lay next to her. His arm instinctivly lay in such a way that he could hold her hand. Rolling over he looked at her. His soft voice washed over her. "What is happening, Delilah?"
"Well lets see what I can do without the famed Doc, shall we?" Orion said as he Moved his right hand over her body. It smoked and his eyes slowly turned Blood red. Smoke began to drift lazily out of his eyes as well. Smiling reassuringly he waved his hand very slowly over her body.
*she immediately jumped up out of the bed and braced herself on the wall.* i need to go over some lesson plans in my room...i'll catch up with you in a little.. *tricity started to fall forward, but she caught herself on the dresser.* yea..in a little while... *she went for the door.*
Startled Orion jumped as well. "Your in no shape to be trying to figure out lesson plans, Delilah. Now sit down and Im going to go get the Doc." His voice had changed. It wasnt soft anymore. He was now not only worried but also afraid that something was really wrong. She didnt usually keep things from him. His strong voice had stopped her in her tracks. Deciding that the Doc prof already knew what was wrong and could help her cover up she decided to let him go get the doc. As he neared the door his touch was soft still but firm as he lead her back to the bed. "I will return shortly." was all he said
