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.

She rarely ever dreamed; and if she did, it was usually just a mess of colors and shapes and voices. Sometimes she was too tired to dream at all; other times, she had some vivid dreams, and she tried her best to forget about them. And then there was that one time when someone else visited her; but he never showed up again and she was starting to believe she just made him up. It was more than possible.
This time, she was walking on the streets again, but it wasn't snowing; this time, she was further back in the past, when she was still careless and young and she sneaked out every night to go to a party or two.
This time, she was outside the club, looking in through the window. There were people in there, some of them she recognised, others she didn't; they seemed to be having a great time. Sveta didn't join them. She didn't know why. She looked aorund for a door, but all she could see were windows, with people dancing behind them.
"Well. This sucks."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Another night, another dream. It was quite a while ago but he remebered his promis. He would visite that girl named Sveta again. Maybe this was a good time to do so, otherwise she might have taught that he realy was a dream. As he concentrated on her dream he rememberd her joking about knocking before he entered. Well if she wanted that she could get that.
The moment he entered the dream you could hear something knock behind your back. If you turned around you could see a strange door floating in the middle of the street. And somebody was knocking on it to be let in.
Sveta turned around, expecting to see someone knocking on one of the windows - but instead she saw a door just floating around, as doors usually do in dreams and weird movies.
Well, whoever it is, he or she at least is polite enough to... Wait a minute.
A smile tugged on Sveta's lips as she walked over to the door and turned the handle.
"Hi Brian" she smiled at the dramwalker as she stepped back from the door to let him into her dream. Even though this time she knew it was a real person she was allowing into her own personal world, she still felt comfortable. "It's good to see you again."
She glanced down at her hands; she was not wearing gloves this time. She looked back up at Brian.
"So... how do I know you are real?"
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Brian smiled as he was waiting for her to open up. The moment she did she could see at the other side of the door a large black space whit what seemed stars in the distance as if you peared into a cloudless evening sky. "Good ... euh ... evening i guesse is apropriate Sveta. I hope i didn't interupted anything nice ?" As he stepped out the door closed and faded away.
Turning to her he smiled "Ah so your doubting if i realy am real or not. I guesse there is a simple sollution for it. If you dare do something somebody in your dream said." he smiles as he snaps whit his fingers and sudenley he is holding what seemed like a buisness card. "Here you go ... Give me a call if you can memorise it. Luckely my number isn't a hard one."
If she looked at it she could see his mobile phone number had for the last five numbers all a 0. "Heh lucky me if it was any harder then it i would probabley forget it." For the rest it said his name, his new temporarly adress at the mansion. "I think you would rather try this then venture in a place full of reckless young mutants am i correct ?"
She didn't really expect him to give her anything more than some vague answer - he was a person in a dream, after all, although he tended to be very realistic. Sveta blinked as he presented her a card, and she looked at the phone number. It was a weird number, all zeros. Fit for a business card in a dream.
>>"Heh lucky me if it was any harder then it i would probabley forget it."
Sveta chuckled and put the card into her pocket - she knew it wouldn't be there when she woke up, nor would the pocket, but ut only made sense to do so. She was sure she'd remember anyway.
"Maybe I'll give you a call when I wake up."
>>"I think you would rather try this then venture in a place full of reckless young mutants am i correct ?"
"You are" she smirked "Somehow I don't feel safe with all those gifted youngsters running around me."
She looked around. They were still on the street with the windows and the cheerful people behind them. She rolled her eyes.
"Answering your question: no, you didn't interrupt anything good. This..." she looked around "...is the only version of a party I'll get, I suppose."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He smiled as he clapped in his hand nodding as she confiremed his taughts. Curiousley he walked over to the building where they where apparentley having one hell of a party but a entrence was nowhere to be seen. "Well thats not verry friendly of them. Hogging all the fun for themselves. But they don't have one thing that you do now... " He smirks spreading his arms "A master organiser, there is no party in the world ... or in any dreams i can't give."
He chuckles as he look at her "So whats it gona be ... wana bust that party there or wana do something else. The choice is yours and im your ticket to it." He chuckles as he watches trough the window.
>>"So whats it gona be ... wana bust that party there or wana do something else. The choice is yours and im your ticket to it."
Sveta smiled, and shook her head in disbelief. Brian was offering her everything she could imagine, as usual. For a moment she wondered that if he was real - if he was real at all - would he be as much fun in the mundane world as he was over here. He really seemed to be in his element among dreams. Who was she to question fun.
"Why would I want to crash some party if we can make up our own?" she asked him with a grin, trying not to show that she was excited "Let's see how flashy a party you can throw in, let's say, one minute...?"
She let her imagination flow. He could use what he found, and work with it as he wanted.
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He chuckled a bit as she offered him that chalange. "Oh a chalange ... Verry well ... Lets see what i can create for you." He sudenley clapped his hands together infront of him and what seemed to be some kind of shockwave rippled out from there. The wave passed by the girl and the dreamer whitout any effect but the moment it hit the building around them they shattered appart soon filling the air whit bricks of the disassebled buildings.
Another gesture and sudenley everything started to swirl around them. Stone , wood , furniture and even apperentley people swirrled around in the giant mess as if a tornado was wreaking havoc on the dream. Soon she could see that not onley existing things but also the things she imagined where added into the mix.
A final gesture and everything came down brick by brick and piece by piece everything was build up around them creating a majestic building while other things landed down and filled the place up. People that she knew , made up people and even people he encountered decended too gentely filling up the crowd for the party.
(((ooc : and now its time for my vacation. Ill be back at the end of this month. cya later and enjoy)))
Sveta smiled as Brian accepted the challenge; the shockwave was quite unexpected, and when chaos broke loose and thngs started flying and swirling around them she inched closer to him, holding on to the sleeve of his shirt. She didn't even notice, she was too busy watching what was happening around them.
When the dust finally settled and everything was in place, she saw a great building filled with people, all just waiting for a party to start. May of them looked familiar.
"Wow." Sveta grinned up at Brian "You win." she turned back to glance at the people "They are not real, are they? I mean, they are not realy here, like you and me. Um... I don't think I can explain it any better..." she took his hand and dragged him to the tables that were filled with food and drink. She filled two glasses with wine. Or the dream equivalent of it.
"I cannot get drunk here, can I." she chuckled raising her glass "Now. All we need is music. Cheers, Brian."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
He waved his hand a bit to wave away the dust that came as a side effect from his major redecoration of the dream. He smiled as she said he won "Well not that it was a real chalange for me, but still a statisfying effect ... and now let the party begin." Whit these words he snapped his fingers and at that command the music started to play all around them and the people cheered happeley.
Genteley following her tugging he smiles "No they arn't real like us. I never tried getting more then myself and the original dreamer in one dream. I don't even know if i can do that." He smiles as he takes a glass for himself "You could get drunk ... But i opted to leave that part out. In a dream you don't need to be drunk for crazy things to happen" He laughs raising his glass "Cheers."
"It's good to know that you didn't bring strangers into my dream" she smiled "I would be embarrassed when I wake up..."
Well, technically she already had a stranger in her dream. Brian. But he was nice, and friendly, and probably not real anyway, and they'd met once before. So he was not a total stranger. And he must have seen weirder stuff in others' dreams. Yes.
Sveta sipped the wine - it didn't have any special taste, like food in a dream - and listened to the music with a smile.
"Well, now I have my own private party." she said with a chuckle "Thank you, Brian, dis is really nice."
