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.

Jonothan led them into to a fairly large bedroom with two beds, two desks and two and a half bathrooms.
"You two will have to share a room. There is renovations going on and it some students are leaving. But for now this is the largest two person bedroom we have."
"I don't share rooms." Ruki said, turning to him. Boarding school had taught her that more than one female in a room at once wasn't the best combination. She reached for a credit card to see if she could persuade Jonothan other wise but he gave her a strange look and shook his head.
"You don't have a choice right now if you want to stay here. I'll let Tricity know you're here. Welcome to the Mansion." he said and left. Ruki stared blankly at the door.

Desiree smiled at Ruki. "Oh come on darlin', it'll be fun!' she said with a smile. She tossed her gym bag in the corner, and plopped down on one of the beds. "Long day for me, had to walk the last ten miles." Desiree said, looking up at the ceiling.
Ruki wasn't used to being around such a ...boisterous person; her best friend Drachir was very mellow. Desiree seemed nice though. Ruki ran a hand along a counter to check it for dust before setting Hina-Oni down on it. She opened the drawers one by one checking them as well before she considered unpacking.
"Really. I took a car. Why would anyone walk ten miles?"

"I could have hitched a ride, but Soul was a little pissed off at the last guy who gave me a ride. I didn't want her to hurt anyone." Desiree explained. "Sometimes the gal gets a little bitchy, and when she's in a bad mood, I generally stay away from people who would only piss her off more." Desiree added. "Oh, and she really, really likes you, so you won't have to worry about anything." Desiree said. Deciding to change the subject, she added something else. "Wherever did you get your clothing? It's absolutely beautiful Ruki." Desiree said. In all honesty, she kept shooting glances over at Ruki as they followed Jonothan. The way Ruki dressed, and how she looked, was very pleasing to Desiree's unique sense of taste.
"Hot topic, but mostly I order them online. This particual dress was custom made for my last birthday."
(oh please, this is just ridiculous.)
Ruki shot the doll a sharp look and busied herself with looking in her suticase. To tell the truth she thought Des was very pretty but didn't want to seem too obvious. She had made..mistakes before. Mistakes Hina was quick to remind her of.

Desiree smiled at Ruki when she blushed. If there was anything she liked as much as wrestling, it was making others blush. It was night, and Desiree would likely need some sleep, if she wanted to check out the gym in this place in the morning. She began stripping off every article of clothing, ignoring the fact that there was another person (and a doll) in the room. Desiree wasn't as modest as most people.
"Wha-what are you doing?" Ruki said turning away immediatly. The doll then did something strange. In jerky, robotic movements it slowly stood and turned away as well.

"Well... I... I'm just getting ready to go to sleep. You don't mind that I sleep in the nude, do you Ruki?" Desiree asked. She stared at the back of the doll. "One of two thing's Dessy: The doll's alive, or the girl thinks it is." Desiree said to herself in her head. "And you don't have to turn around on my account hun, neither do you Hina." Desiree said, also adressing the doll. She lipped under the covers, and turned to look at them, propping herself up with her arm.
Ruki opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. She cleared her throat.
"Well..I mean..I can not ask you to just change your...habits." She was still blushing and she was slightly ashamed that she was having so much trouble speaking. "I..do not mind."
(don't you mean you'd enjoy it?)
"Leave me alone." Ruki grumbled to the doll, continuing to unpack her stuff and still not turning to face Desiree.

"Me?" Desiree asked, referring to Ruki saying "Leave me alone.". "Can you tell me about Hina, Ruki? I'd like to know more about her." Desiree said. She was truly interested in Ruki, and her connection with the doll.
"No." she said simply. "I can not tell you much. It is just a doll. I talk to it out of habit." She bit her lip.
Hina plopped back down limply as if the life had been sucked from her.
(Good, Watch your mouth, lady.)
Ruki's thin red lips pursed as she added the last of the clothes to the dresser. She then took to setting her books and stationary onto the desk, still not looking at Desiree.

Desiree allowed a bit of Soul to leak over, enough to sniff the air for a second. Fear, panic, apprehension. The doll must be a very tense subject for Ruki. "You must give a secret to get a secret Dessy, you know this." Desiree thought in her mind. "Ruki, I'm a living, breathing werewolf. I howl at the moon. I snap at cats and occasionally chase cars. I've been known to eat kibbles & bits, and LIKE it. I actually use doggy shampoo. If I can get through 8 years of that, you can be sure I won't judge anyone for their differences." Desiree said. A few tears slid down her face, memories of the past eight years came with a price sometimes.
Ruki heard the emotion in the girl's voice and turned to look at her seeing the tears. Her lips parted and she stepped forward for a minute but stopped suddenly as a sharp pain surged through her head. She inhaled sharply and pressed her hands to the temples until it dies down.
(DON'T YOU DARE TELL HER ABOUT ME, RUKI. You want them to take you back? You know people can't be trusted.)
Ruki swallowed hard. It was her fault for speaking to the doll out loud where someone could hear. She swallowed hard.
"Honestly, it's just a doll." she shrugged. Had her pain shown before it had dissappeared now. "And there is nothing wrong with you, we all have our quirks."
(she won't believe you.)
"I started talking to my dolls when I was younger. I thought they talked back. Now I do it out of habit."
(Watch it)
Ruki had told Desiree the truth, some of it at least.

"Habit doesn't make a doll turn around, Ruki. Whether or not you want to tell me more is always up to you. Nothing you'd say can change the the fact that I already like you." Desiree said. "Let me OUT!" the voice screamed in her head. It was so loud, Desiree instinctively clasped her hands to her hears. "Not... now.." Desiree said through gritted teeth. "I said... let... me... OUT!" the voice repeated, Desiree's nails began to grow longer and sharper, as a fine fur appeared on her body. Grabbing anearby robe, she hopped out of the bed, only to fall to the floor. "Ruki... please... open the window.." Desiree said, trying to mentally restrain Soul. "Kill the cat, let me kill it now!" the voice added within her head.
