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.

"Oh, I don't think she can, no. I was thinking more along the lines of this still being too close to our little wrestling match in the War Room," Mike smirked.

Daria laughed. "I know what you were thinking, Sicko." When she laughed her back hurt so she asked to have the bandages tightened. Although the adjustment made it difficult for her to breath, she wasn't in as much pain nor did she feel as cold.
"I think I'm gonna go sit outside for a while and draw. This environment it way too stressful for me right now." She said slowly standing.
Mike nodded, helping her up. "All right. I'm going to go check on the girls. If I don't catch you out there, I'll be in the kitchen making... something. I'll figure something out."
((ooc: brought over from the hallway board “Corridor to the Infirmary)) He uttered a soft curse as he found Victoria lying on the floor. Though the curse was followed quickly by a sigh of relief to see the green aura around her unconscious form. He shook his head a moment, the green glow fading out of his eyes, and knelt beside her. Ignoring the ringing ache in his own head from running while observing life-auras, he carefully slipped his hand beneath her head, feeling for a bump, or blood. After finding neither, Raphael carefully lifted her off the hard floor, and after a moment of dizziness, another rememnant of the combined movement and his life-aura sight, carried her out of the room; completely oblivious to their silent observer. His next destination: DocProf's Infirmary.
He carried her carefully, and steadily, his headache fading and dizziness passed. Up the stairs and around the corner and into the Infirmary... A distinct regret passing through his mind at having to put her down so relatively soon. "Doc? Hey Doc! We need help here!" He called out a moment after entering the room, that stolen moment used to admire Victoria's beauty, and realize just how accurate Lee's comment had been. "DocProf?" He called out again, carrying her further in, and realizing that the Doc was likely just predisposed with another patient.
Looking through the door way watchin this unknown man left the woman up in to his arms Lee begins to think just how beautiful she is. Watching her being raised into her arms and running out the door the two run past Lee. Lee begins to think and wonder just what happen to her. As the past by and no longer in sight Lee steps back into the human eye.
"Hmm im pretty sure hes taken her to the infirmary...Shit i should have brought that map." He says to him self.
Walking up and down the halls, Lee sees the woman laying on a bed with the unknown man standing above her looking as he seen something in her for the first time. No longer trying to hide the fact that he was there Lee walks in to the room.
"Well if it aint Mr.Hero coming to the young ladies rescue. Hmm the true question is are you worried about you...or are you worried about that beatuful face getting messed up?" Lee asked the man standing by the bed.
Lee slides his hands in to his pockets leaning up against the door. Not even listening to what the man says next Lee focuses on the lady laying on the bed. Looking at her laying motionless on the bed with what looks to be not a care in the world or maybe not ever being able to move a muscle again Lee walks up next to the bed and waits.
((ooc: DocProf is an NPC, so while Victoria is unconscious I'll play him...feel free to play him too!))
The DocProf had been tending to a silde on his micoscope when he heard the commotion at the front entrance of the Infirmary. He rose quickly from his crouched position and hurried to meet the man that was carrying an unconscious woman in his arms.
"Hello." He said politely to the man as he immediately went to tending to the woman. "What happened here?" He asked with not much more than a glace as his hands inspected her head and neck, looking for any signs of injury.
Before he allowed anyone to answer his question, however, DocProf placed his hands on either side of Victoria's head and closed his eyes. A light began to emit from below his palms as he activated his powers. Immediately he began to see the visions of Victoria's plight of unwillingly falling through the ceiling and hitting the floor hard.
Once the light died down, DocProf looked at the two men who seemed so concerned for the girl's well-being and smiled sadly. "Poor girl." Somehow he seemed to understand how she felt. "It's quite a nasty bump on the head. She has a mild concussion, but she'll be alright." He turned to the girl and brushed a hand over he forehead looking at her peaceful face. "She'll sleep a while, but we need to wake her up every hour or so to see how she says she feels." He turned back to the two men with a more sincere smile. "You can stay if you like, but don't overwhelm her. I'm sure she'll have a nasty headache when she wakes up."
He moved to a cabinet and produced a bottle of aspirin. He put two into a small paper cup, poured a glass of water and placed it on the table next to her bed. "Do call me if you need me. The name is DocProf. And you are?"
"I'm not a hero... far from it." He stated simply to Lee. "And I'm concerned for her well-being... she must have cracked her head when she fell. Not worried about myself.... Just her at the moment. Why are you following me? I didn't see you on the way back here."
Raphael watched the Doc come over and examine Victoria, and completely forgot about Lee. "So she'll be alright Doc?" He asked, after he finished using his powers to inspect her, and listened to Doc's response. "I think I'll stay... I feel kinda responsible, atleast in part.." He continued after Doc's smile and offer to let them stay. He watched DocProf move across the room and get aspirin and water. "Raphael... Newcomer to the mansion... Nice to meet you Doc." He held his hand out to have it shaken by the Doctor, though his eyes had not left Victoria's unconscious body. "Oh... and the unconscious lady is Victoria... she'll have questions when she comes to and her headache goes away... Should I just call you over here when that happens?"
Raphael watched DocProf return to his microscope and realized that he really liked the wise old man, although he did hope he would not have to visit him too frequently. He moved and pulled a chair up beside Victoria's bed, casting a glance towards the door to see if Lee was still there, then refocused his attention on his new friend.
Lee still leaning up against the door watching Raphael hover over Victoria begins to walk to the other side of the bed. Looking down at her he runs his hands through her hair and looks over at Rapheal.
"Full of yourself are we? Why would I follow you?" Lee says as he places the palm of his hand on to of Victoria's hand. "Hmm i guess i think this girl is a special child and I just wanted to make sure she was okay. Its alright for even assholes to have a heart to aint it?" Lee says jokingly over toward Raphael.
Stepping away from the bed Lee begins to slowly spin in a circle, looking around the room taken in the new inverment that he has just been inturduced to.
"Ok I did my good deed for the day." Lee says with a bit of joy in his voice.
Raphael gave a sigh, and shook his head. Busy day, stressful couple minutes. "Perhaps a bit." He muttered, then watched Lee brush fingers through Victoria's hair. He certainly did not like how this fellow rubbed him. He watched Lee spin, wondering just what 'good deed' he had done. He also wondered what he saw special in Victoria, or if he was merely following her because of her attractiveness. He hung his head a moment, elbows on Victoria's bed and propping his head up with his hands, suddenly quite tired. Not physically tired, but rather feeling mentally drained. He felt like the current state that Victoria was in was his fault, just how he blamed himself for another accident. He closed his eyes for a moment, resting for a couple seconds, then lifted his head and looked at her once more, eyes glancing briefly from her to Lee, just confirming his presence still, then back down to her.
Well standing in the infimary looking around Lee catches Ralphael glance over at him then back down to Victoria. 'What is it about this woman? This Victoria has this gift that somehow...' Just in the middle of Lee thinking to him self he sees Ralphael look over at him again. Lee pulls up a chair to the other side of Victoria's bed and stairs in to Ralphaels face.
" Excuse me, but me being here...does it bother you in someway? You look at me as if i mean to do wrong in some way and i asure you, that with her here I dont think you would have a problem with me in anyway." Lee says.
Lee stands up buttoning up his coat on his suit and begins to walk away. Turning back around looks over and Victoria and lowers his head as if he is wishing her a fair well then looks over to Ralphael and just shakes his head.
The Docprof raised an eyebrow as he overheard the two men's conversations. 'Hmm, a rivarly could be brewing' he thought to himself as he noticed the tension. Instead of meddling in personal affairs, he instructed the two to approach him if anything should change that either one of them should let him know.
Victoria's brow furrowed as she let out a painful groan. She hadn't been unconscious more than 20 minutes and the pain was now stirring her to becoming awake. She lifted her free hand to her forehead as she felt the pain begin to increase with every waking moment that passed. "Bloody hell..." she muttered as her eyes began to flutter open.
She gasped lightly when she noticed Raphael and Lee on either side of her bed, curious and embarassed at the same time. Pulling herself up in the bed, her glassy blue eyes trying to focus and make sense of what was going on. "What are you two doing here? W-what happened?"
Raphael watched Lee walk away, he still did not feel right about the fellow, though maybe it was simply a bad first impression. Either way, he was determined to stay where he was till Victoria awoke, merely returned his gaze to her.
Twenty minutes later he found his head resting in his palm, elbows on her bed. Victoria's words brought his head up. "You're awake! Good good!" He said, a little louder than he intended, then dropped his voice, remembering what DocProf had said about her waking with one helluva headache. "I... ah, I'm here because I was worried about you... You slipped through the floor, and into the room below... and must have fallen hard and hit your head. 'Least the Doc said you'd gotten a nasty bump to the head... I didn't see you land... just found you out cold.... Sorry.... Brought you here for the Doc to look you over. He'sa nice old fellow... Speaking of which... he left these for you." He said, speaking quickly one of his hands getting the aspirin and water DocProf had left earlier. "Are you okay?" His voice marked by genuine concern.
After seeing Victoria come to. Lee turns around to a table with a dozen roses left from someone who must have spent a little time in here not to long ago. With the flowers close to death, Lee looks in finding the one rose that has what seems to be the most life left and turns to hand it to Victoria.
"I understand this is someone else's rose but im sure they will be they wont mind if it gives you as much joy reciveing it as they did when they got it. Lee says with a soft smile on his face. "And how you got down here... After hearing you gasp and what i take is somehow you got that beautiful body to somehow fall through the floor. Mr. Hero wenta running to your rescue and brought you down here. Lee says with a little wink over towards Raphael.
"But after you feel i really wish there was something i could have done to help you but i gotta very important call and i was tryin to take care of something... I new good old Raphael was gonna make sure you was alright but. But yeah trying to find my way around this place Shit i got lost and bam ended up here... But hey as long as your alright then everything is fine." Lee says as he stands up and walks down to the foot of her bed.
