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.

Ted wandered throught the halls, and finally found what he was looking for. The kitchen! Wow, when Fiona said it was big she wasn't kidding. He guessed that he was allowed to help himself, and the rumbling in his stomach agreed. He had no idea how long it had been since he had had a proper meal, and so he did full justice to the hunger that had seemed unending for months. He wolfed down a sandwiche as he considered making another, then spotted a leg of lamb in the fridge. He had always preferred the taste of meat...

Little, innocent, black-haired Millie came skipping into the room. She was hungry and she wanted a cookie. So she was going to eat a cookie. Merlin was trailing along, attached to Millie's hand his own arm. When she saw another, she stopped dead in her tracks and stared up at him. The little blonde in her told her to say hello, but the dark-haired one told her not to say anything, to run. Overall, Nightmare (yes, the dark-haired one) did not have complete control over Millie and Millie wasn't upset, so there was no reason for Nightmare to intrude, so Millie jumped up on a seat, sitting on her knees, smiled broadly and said in a quiet voice "Hello." Should she introduce herself, maybe not yet. Don't talk to strangers... but he wasn't a stranger. If he lived in the mansion, then he was family.
"My name it Millie, or Night Light, or Firefly, but you can call me anything...not a boyt name, I don't want to be called a boy't name..." She grinned. This small social step caused the tips of her hair to turn blonde again, but it was not that noticeable... "Do you like cookiet? I like cookiet. Where are the cookiet? What it your name?" She jumped down from the chair and stood directly infront of him, staring up at him with her joyful, blue eyes. "Thit it Merlin the Wonder Teddy. Do you think he't pretty? I think he't pretty." She stated, holding up her dear teddy for the new person to see. Little Millie, couldn't just say one thing, if she introduced herself, she had to introduce her teddy and say some other random things before letting the other talk.

Ted looked down at the little girl. "Hi Millie. I'm Ted, and I do like your teddy. I think he's very pretty." He ate the last bit of meat from the leg of lamb before tossing the bone in the bin. "I'm not sure if there are any cookies around here, just let me check." He sniffed, his heightened sense of smell allowing him to pick out smells from the food in the cupboards, and was able to guess the general direction of the cookies. "I think they might be over here." He went towards the area he thought the cookies were in, and began randomly opening cupboards until he spotted some. "Here we go, chocolate chip, I bet you like those, eh?" He took one out and passed it to her, and then ate a couple himself. "These are nice cookies, don't you agree?" He laid the packet down where she could reach them easily.

Millie smiled and answered "Very nice to meet you, Mr. Ted." With the next comment, she pulled Merlin back to her in a hug and whispered "Tee, Merlin the Wonder Teddy? He't a nite guy." She kissed him on the head before watching him intently find the cookies. Chocolate chip. Her face lit up and a small bit of her hair turned blonde. The process was slow and tormenting, Nightmare's repression, that is. It seemed that for every one bad emotion, she had to feel 50 good emotions to balance it back out. Just one simple fall where someone doesn't help her up from, she could break down again and all her work to make herself feel better would crumble. She took the cookie and ate one after 'feeding' Merlin. "Yet, I love chocolate chip." With that, she sat back down and folded her knees under herself.

Ted noticed her hair colour, but didn't mention it. After all this was a house of mutants, so stuff like this was probably normal. "So, he's the Wonder Teddy? What does he do?" It had been awhile since he had actually spoken to a small child, what with being arrested, shipped across the Atlantic and being a homeless person for several months, but he had always liked small children, and it wasn't like he was going to tell her to go away.

"Merlin the Wonder Teddy keept me tafe. Wheneber I am tad, he maket me better. Oh! And he maket me glow tometimet. Like when I not having a good dream, he make me glow to care off the bad guy in my dream, becaut they are ugly." She whispered the word ugly as if she didn't want her dreams to hear her make fun of them. "Do you have a Wonder Teddy?" She asked before jumping down from her chair and moving to the fridge. "Can you get me tome milk and we can eat milk and cookiet together? Ever read 'If you give a moute a cookie?'"
"Oh! And he maket me glow tometimet" Ted frowned. Glow? Well, I should expect that sort of thing in a house full of mutants. "I don't think I have my own Wonder Teddy, I'm a little old for one." He opened up the fridge and pulled out a carton of milk, which he set on the side before hunting for some glasses. He eventually found them, and filled a couple with milk before handing one to Millie. "So where are your parents? Do they live here at the mansion, Millie?" He di[pped onw of the cookies in the milk before putting the whole cookie in his mouth at once.

He will never get tired of looking out for me. He it my betet friend." She took the milk and sipped after thank him politely, like she had been raised. "My parent?" She frowned and the tips that had become lighter suddenly became pitch black again. "My parent don't live here. My mom and dad, they live at the hout. They don't like me. Everyone liked me but my mom and my dad. Jeremy, he liked me, and toe did the nurtet and maid and other peoplet that lived there...not my mommy and not my daddy. And your parent?"

!"well, in that case my Wonder Teddy must have decided I keep looking after myself well enough and got bored." Ted grabbed another cookie and ate it. Henoticed the ends of her hair going black as she spoke of her parents, and decided that her parents were not a great subject. "My parents are back at home in England. I'm here because, well, let's just say I didn't have much choice in the matter. Anyway, I'm here and I need to speak with Tricity. Do you think you could take me to her?" He hoped that the little girl knew where Tricity was, because he needed to speak to her about suppressing his power.

ooc: I hope it's ok if I jump in!
Ic: Raina was make her way toward the kitchen thanks to the beckoning of her stomach. Her hair was still a little wet from earlier but was tied back and she was wearing an oversized t-shirt. It was late, and she figured she woudln't run into anyone but when she got to the kitchen she heard voices and froze. She leaned up against the slightly ajar door and looked in. There was a guy who looked about as out of place as she did- so maybe he was new too.. and... a little girl! Raina had to cover her mouth to keep from gasping. She never expected to see someone so young at the institute... but when she thought about it- she figured mutants of all ages need protecting.
She leaned in a little straining to hear what they were saying and before she knew it she fell face forward through the doors landing in a heap. She shot up fast trying to maintain her balance and turned bright red.
"Uh, well, er... sorry 'bout that just dropping in for a bite to eat!" she said throwing a hand behind her head in an akward embaressed motion. "Er.. couldn't help hearing you were looking for Tricity... I'm new here myself and it seems Tricity comes to you instead. I know she just had a baby and there are lots of us newbees to keep her busy." she was still incredibly bright red but looked pretty cute all embaressed.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to barge in on you two..." she bent down to look at the little girl and gave her a warm smile. "I'm Raina, who are you?"
Ted looked up as another girl crashed into the room. He gave her the benefit of the doubt and assumed that she tripped over something, and felt sorry for her after seeing her embarrassment. "Tricity looks for us? Well, that sure makes my life easier. You want a cookie?" He held the packet out for her. "Chocolate chip?" he said tauntingly.

Raina's eyes went wide with excietment. "Finally someone who understands me at this place!" she happily accepted a cookie and stood back up. She probably scared the little girl with her entrance and decided to let her speak on her own instead of asking her her name again. "I'm not usually so... boistrous." Said Raina searching for the right word. "I've only been here a day and it's really overwhelming. where are you from?" she asked sincerely interested but trying not to seem nosey.

"I'm from Canbridge, England. Well, you've been here longer than me at least." Ted laughed, and ate another cookie. "These are some good cookies. I only just arrived, though not in the greatest of shapes. But I'm good now, some random guy showed me in, gave me money and wandred off again. i need to thank him at some point, but I doubt I'll see him again. Ah well, I'm sure he understands." Ted realised that he had been talking entirely about himself, and decided to switch subjects. That, and he didn't want to let slip that he was a fugitive. "So you're a mutant too, huh?"

Raina stood awkardly rubbing her hands "yeah, I 'spose I am... my tribe back home thought I was some fantastic person of the past reincarnated but no magic powers here. Just your average mutant I suppose." She leaned back "I'm not very good... and a lot of people here seem to have an abudance of power- but mine seems pretty innate and needs a lot of energy to use" she decided to demonstrate her ability for him.
Quite unexpectidly Raina began to sing. there were no words, only haunting and captivating notes. The air in the room suddenly became crisp as a small sheath of ice crawled across the cookie in Ted's hand freezing it. She stopped singing and the cookie glistened. "I'm a chanter. I can call the water out of the air and freeze it. Not very well, and I can't manipuate it as well as I'd like- but hey, that's why I'm here."
She smiled sincerely and then asked, "What about you?"

Millie jumped off of her seat in surprise as another entered. She drew her teddy up close to her and hid behind Ted. After listening to the two, she looked at Merlin and spoke. "Tee, Merlin the Wonder Teddy? She not bad! Thank you for protecting me, I think I will tay hi." With that, she kissed her teddy and then came out of hiding. "Hi, my name it Millie. I don't have any powert, but my Merlin the Wonder Teddy hat powert and tometimet, when I am cared or happy or tomething, he will give me tome of hit powert and make me glow."
She randomly ran up and gave Raina a hug after she had finished showing her powers. "But tometimet," She lowered her voice to a whisper "Merlin the Wonder Teddy maket me glow too much and people have to cover their eyet."
