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.

Deja quickly smiled. "Well I can help, if you want?" How about I order us a pizza!" Deja quickly got up, and started helping with the pans. Deja then smiled. "So any of you, like music? I love it, especially when you just hear the beat, I get into the rythmn.

"Spaghetti it is." After washing her hands, Neena set a skillet on the stove, and put in the raw sausage, then began hunting down other ingredients; sauce, garlic, other herbs and spices, noodles. When Naomi pulled down one of the large pots, Neena nodded at her. "Yep, that's perfect. May as well make enough for leftovers, for the grazers."
She reached out to take the pot. However the weight of it caught her off-guard, and she nearly dropped it. She blinked in surprise. It's not that the pot was heavy necessarily. But definitely it weighed more than the tiny asian woman made it seem.
"Super-strength?" she asked curiously. "And would you mind filling that with water? About two-thirds up? Then set it to boil on high?"
She nodded when Deja asked about ordering pizza. "Sure, that would be fine, but you may want to greet the delivery guy at the gate if you do. Otherwise the food may not make it across the grounds," she added with a chuckle. "Mmmm... hot wings sound good too...." She hadn't realized she was hungry up to that point.
"So any of you, like music? I love it, especially when you just hear the beat, I get into the rythmn."
Neena grinned and nodded. "Definately! Can't say I have a favorite group, but anything with a beat, and light on the lyrics, works for me." She paused, as if considering something, then added, "You know, I'm not sure why, but I'm kind of partial to the Pink Panther theme music. Hmm...." She shrugged as if that was a new thought that just hit her. "Do you have any favorite groups or songs?"
By that time the meat had begun sizzling, so she began adding the other spices, and started stirring.

"Super-strength? And would you mind filling that with water? About two-thirds up? Then set it to boil on high?"
"Something like that I suppose," she said referring to her powers," I'll get right on it!"
She did what she was told and began boling the water. She was intrigued however at the mention of pizza and hot wings.
"Is pizza tasty? I've heard alot about it, but I've never had any. And, Hot Wings? What exactly is that ?"
Naomi began picturing a sad little duck , running around screaming flapping its wings, which were on fire. Naomi suddenly became very upset for the poor duck.
"It's not made out of duck is it?" She asked, genuinly woried for the duck in her head that actually didn't exist.

"Is pizza tasty? I've heard alot about it, but I've never had any. And, Hot Wings? What exactly is that ? It's not made out of duck is it?"
Neena did her best not to laugh at the dismayed expression on Naomi's face. She shook her head vigorously. "No, actually they are made of chicken. Usually. And pizza is one of the things New York is famous for."
She grinned, and turned to Deja. "Well, I guess that makes a second interest. Mind if I take you up on that offer to order?" She rummaged through her purse, and pulled out her wallet, and handed Deja thirty dollars. "I'd say get one with just pepperoni, just in case you don't like it." She added that last bit to Naomi. "An order of hot wings, and whatever else you feel like."
Then she turned back to the skillet, and added a bottle of spaghetti sauce, stirring every now and then. The smell of garlic hung heavy in the air.
Deja smiled, at the comment Naomi made. "right on it, were getting Italian tonight, we'll sorta." Deja then picked up a phonee, and began dialing the pizza number. "Yes, I'd like to have one medium Pepperoni, also one cheese. Also some hotwings." The woman on the other line spoke.
"Is that it?" Deja then smiled.
"Yes, thats all." Deja then hung up the phone. "The woman said, they'd be here in 45 minutes." Deja then looked at everyone cooking, and decideed to do something. "Hey, anyone want some fruit smoothies? It's really the only thing, I can make." Deja then chuckled.

"Oh chicken..."
This didn't really put Naomis mind at ease. Now she could only imagine a chicken running around with its wings on fire. She decided to push these thoughts aside, and watch the two work. I smelled wonderful, and looked delicious. The noodles that were boiling weren't that different than what she was sure to, but everything else was new to her.
"I'm from China," Answering Neenas question, "\Shanghia actually. My grandmother, my little brother and I lived just outside of the city."
Naomi focued on a single noodle, which she made float up in the air, and them made boyant so it floated in mid-air . She poked at it and prodded it befor puttong one end in her mouth, making it its normal density, and slurping it up. She had to make it its normal wieght... or else it would feel like she was just eating air.
"Hmm, it's... kinda like soup noodles but... different..."

Neena grinned at Deja, suddenly feeling much hungrier than she thought the was. "Smoothies would be awesome."
She turned to see the noodle floating in front of Naomi. She snapped her fingers. "Telekinetic!" she announced, as if she were playing a guessing game, which in effect she was.
"Shanghai? I've never been to Aisa, except for India. I hear it's beautiful, but a bit crowded? Is that true?"

"Telekenetic!"
Naomi was slightely startled by Neenas geuss. She looked blankely at her as she slurped up the rest of the noodle. When she realised what she was refering to, she smiled.
"Oh no, sorry. I can increase and decrease the wieght of objects."
She sat down on one of the stools nearby. She wasn't exactly confortable on it though, considering how high it was. All through her childhood, she had kneeled when she sat, so this high chair, which felt really unstable to her, bothered her.
"Yes, most of Asia is very dense. India especially. That was the reason we actually lived 20 miles out of Shanghai. Because room is very tight in the city, we couldn't afford to by land there. China is large, but it seems like everyone who lives there crams into the large cities to find jobs..."
Naomi realised she was ranting and didn't want to be rude.
"Youy said you've been to India? Where you born there? Or did you visit?"

(OOC: Hope none of you ladies mind ole big and furry butting in oh and I'm assuming this is before the x-men tryouts in the danger room)
Ted stepped into the kitchen. This was becoming a very normal occurance for him, only this time he'd brought Wallace along. Wallace was Ted's black labrador puppy, and was perched on Ted's shoulder. He reckoned that there would be some sort of pet food somewhere in the kitchen, and Ted himself was hungry any how. He nodded to the ladies already there, "Hey Neena!" He spoke to the other two, "I don't believe we've met. I'm Ted. Anyone here know if they keep dog food in this place?" Wallace barked and leapt onto the table, running up to Naomi. "Heh, I think he likes you."
