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.

Lucky for Ted, he had a quick recovery rate. The blast upstairs woke him, but when he opened eyes he felt alot better, though still fairly tired. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, and failed to notice at first that someone had left. He heard Dai's question, and tried to fill in the gaps for him. "Ok, what's happened so far. Um, some pyscho woman turned up and randomly started attacking people. We're not sure why, but some of the older folks are trying not to hurt her too much. I turned up in time to see the pyscho lady toss Raina like a ragdoll, hence the injuries. I tried to bring her down here, but something hit me, and triggered my power. Essencially, my powers are 'Me feel pain = me become big mindless hungy werewolf". So Micheal, another resident who's power is invulnerability, led me on a merry trip round the mansion (probably causing much collateral damage on the way) andeventually locked me up in the danger room. That meant that he could happily wait for me to detransform in an environment where noone was likely to get hurt. I detransformed, and Micheal headed out to rejoin the fight. I then made my way here to check on Raina, but in case you never tried it, smashing someone through a mansion is extremely tiring. Thus I needed sleep." Ted suddenly noticed that there was one less person in the room. "Where's the other girl that was here? Wasn't she the doctor?"

ooc: sorry guys! I work at a bookstore, and being harry potter weekend and all.. I was extremly busy... i'm pretty tired but i'm gonna rummidge up a post here! You all went so fast! haha next time gimme a chance to reply lol
ic:
Raina's eyes were whirrling as she slipped in an out on consciousness. She had heard what the girl had said- that she had been hurt, but it didn't register well as she continued to black in an out with shallow breathing. Finally after her wounds had been dressed and the blood flow started to slow her eyes whirrled open again in time to vaugely make out the images of people around her.
She couldn't really see, one of her eyes was nearly crusted over with blood form her forhead, and really she was just so dizzy. She tried to murmur at them but her eyes closed again. This time she concentrated on listening and tried to twitch her fingers.
She could smell something. Something? No.. she could smell someone. Someone familiar. "T-ted?" she was able to finally muster out in somewhat of a whisper- maybe the others wouldn't hear but she knew with ted's hearing he would. "D-did I e-ever tell y-you, you r-remind me of my old pet husky... you smell like him..." even in her grave situation Raina was trying to make light of the situation with a joke- or perhaps she wasn't all there- still roaming her memories of home.
"Ted... it hurts to breathe..." she wasn't sure what all the seemingly much younger mutants could do for her- she still couldn't really see but she'd know Ted anywhere. "I think I crushed my ribs or something .... I think i'm bleeding on the inside..."
indeed Raina's breathing was shallow as if water was in her lungs. She started to replay the image in her head. How did she get hurt again? "Iris..." she whispered. "She's not right-" she thought to herself.
"Ted... I'm going tos-sing... and when I s-sing... you need to stitch the side of my chest ... It's still bleeding... I can feel it." indeed the bandages were once again wet and sticky- a crimson red. She knew Ted would protest- but it was better to have someone untrained give her stitches as opposed to giving her anesthetic or gas to put her to sleep and numb the pain. At least she coudlnt die from stitches. "I'll numb it... I wont feel anything If I keep m-making noise... but y-you've got to d-do it for me. "
She went silent for a moment- as if she'd falled asleep but then again spoke up. "I need you to d-do this Ted."
It was clear that stitching the wound was the first thing Raina needed. But the dark bruises covering her skin suggesting blood clotting and internal bleeding. It was evident that without real help soon... Raina could die.
ooc: I'm gonna agonize people a little bit and make this play out a little longer If anybody wants to 'hea' Raina please CHECK WITH ME first K? I have an idea!
(OOC: you're not gonna paralyze yourself, are ya? )
IC: Ted didn't notice at first, but then realized that Raina was talking to him. The others didn't seem to notice, so Ted assumed that they didn't have any sort of enhanced hearing. "Sssh guys, she's talking." He just about heard her talking about her pet husky, and he tried not to laugh so he didn't blot out the noise. He listened to her describing her own injuries, and ironically seemed to be the best doctor here. Then she explained her plan; and Ted didn't like one bit. "No way, I am no good at stitching. Doc Prof should be here soon, Nicki's gone to look for him. You'll be fine, just hang on." He guessed that the other guys wouldn't be able to hear her, so to them it was a one-sided conversation, but he didn't care. She seemed adamant that he should do it, and after quickly checking her wound Ted decided that he really didn't have much choice.
"Dai, find some thread or something and a needle. I'm gonna try something. You," he gestured at Geo after failing to remember his name, "help him out, I'll keep her talking, you two check all the cupboards." He held up a hand to forstall any arguments, "Just do it!" He turned back to Raina, and took hold of hand. "Ok, you're going to be fine, just keep talking. You said you had a husky? What was his name?" He knew that he had to keep her awake, and he had to keep her mind off of her possibly fatal wound. He knew that asking her questions would accomplish both at the same time.
Geo watched Ted coverse with Raina. He couldn't hear any of it. Then when ted yelled him instructions he got right to work. He pushed open the doors to the cabinet and started rumaging around. "I'm sure i saw it when i got the dressings." He paused when he heard another crash upstairs. He took a second then went back to looking. He felt a sudden sharp pain in his finger. "OW!" he yelled, and drew back his finger. there was blood forming at the end. Looking to where his hand had been he found a case of needles that had been knocked over, next to them sat a spool of thread. "Well thats convenient." He grabbed them and ran them back to Ted. "Here that should do it."
[[OOC: Raina u totally lost me in ur last Post Ted had to explain. and we tried to slow the thread but people kept asking questions lol.]]

Daisake quickly looked around to find some needle and thread. he opened closet doors leading to other things but all he needed. untill he found a roll of medicail thread. he picked it up and rushed back over to ted. Another rummbles was felt again. "I think they could use a bit more help, then again this place of full of mutants" he handed the thread to Ted just as Geo said ouch. and spilled needles. he saw some more thread next to it. "Well then That is convenient" he grinned for a short moment then got serius. "I hope she will be ok.."

Raina's eyes rolled about in her head. "H-his name was Tripoli. " she knew if she'd felt better she'd laugh. "b-back w-when I lived in the n-north we couldn't always get to the h-hospital... w-we'd need to be flown in. I l-learned a lot about t-this sorta t-thing. Y-you can h-handle it ted." she feebly put her pale ice cold hand over his larger warmer one. "I'm g-going to s-sing. As s-soon as y-you feel the c-cold y-you can s-start. Just d-do your b-best." It took her a few full minutes to get that sentence out. She was fading fast and didn't have much time. At least if they could stop the outside bleeding Nicki may get back in time to figure out the inside. Raian had heard about Nicki's abilities when she first got to the mansion- she was counting on whatever knowledge Nicki was able to recover.
Raina took a painstaking breath... and began to sing. Everything in the room was silent except for Raina's muffled voice. It was more beautiful than usual. Like a rare bird. It floated through the room raising goosebumps on those around and chilling their breath. The notes didn't fluxuate much like they would have for other chants- but remained quite consistant. She concentrated on her own skin and could feel the small light hairs on her body standing on end and then- everything felt numb. It was time- she was ready... she coudln't keep it up for long. She hoped Ted could handle it.
ooc: Nicki should arrive with a solution soon! we've been PMing!
OOC: As much fun as it would be to practice my needle work on Raina, becaus eI'm leaving for ten days starting tommorrow I'm going to have Ted go back to sleep and one of the other guys will have to do it. Sorry if it breaks any of your plans, but other wise you would have to wait until i came back for a reply.
IC: Damn, she sure can sing. But unfortunatly, Ted was still suffering from the effects of exhaustion, and it hadn't occurred to him how big an effect the cold would have. He felt his eyelids begin to droop, and knew that he would soon have to sleep again. No! Damnit, why did I have to transform? He just about turned to one of the guys, not entire sure which one. "I... am in no state to do this. You guys carry on, keep her talking, get the stitching done. Pretend you're me, she's probably out of it enough that she won't notice." Unable to force any more words out, Ted's head drooped, and he was soon asleep, still sitting on the opposite bed. Fortunatly, he had good balence even when asleep, and didn't look like he was going to fall over.
(OOC: Sorry to leave it like this, but this will be my last post until I get back. Bye all!)
Geo layed Ted back on the bed and looked over to Raina. "Pretend to be him..." He looked over a Dai. "Dude i just met him today you know him right. Before he clould answer he examined Rainas side. "Dam we have to do this quick, i've doon sewwing on cloth and stuff before, they said i was realy good, but never skin." he went pale. The swallowed hard. "I'm not gunna let her bleed to death because i'm scared." He looked over at Dai. "Get over here pretend to be Ted while i do this. "

Daisake watched ted fall back asleep, listeninfg to Geo at the sametime. he quickly moves over to where Geo is. "Your right lets just do what we can. Tell me what is wrong with her so i can give the overview of what we have to do" he looks up at Geo "My dad taught me a little something. we cant just poke her without knowing whats really going on" he looks back at Raina
Tristan examined Raina laying on the bed in front of him. "She seems to have alot of shallow cuts and bruises, there covered though and i think that they stopped bleeding." He gestured to her side. "Though this cut we have to get quick so hurry up whatever your planning on doing." He sat up and looked at her eyes. "She seems to have a bit of consciousness, enough to have an idea of whats going on but not enough to recodnize us. Well you anyways." He looked worried and pressed more cloths against her side to givee them time. "So whats your idea."

Daisake thinks for a moment. "ok lets try to slow down the bleeding a bit more. Lets needle up the cuts and place ice on the bruises" He goes around the room looking for some ice packs to place on Raina bruises "Just go ahead and try to patch her up, and i will prepare the ice packs. make sure she stays with us" he finds a freeze with some ice packs in it along with some Other Medical drugs.

At first the ice went unnoticed, because of Raina using her powers. But the ice that began to encase one wall of the infirmary was not made by the chanter, though it did seem to respond to her song. However, whenever she would finish her tune, the ice would recede only a bit, but still claim that side of the infirmary in its grip. (See Iris's return home, continued....)

(OOC: I know that guys just agreed to wait for Raina to post again but I'm not sure when I'll be able to get on to the computer again this week and I have spoken to Raina and she said this was okay, so no scorning me alright?)
Nicki came running in with DocProf, pointing the man at Raina. "Okay, something has changed from the last time I was here but I'm still voting she needs help." Nicki was huffing slightly, looking at the group of people surrounding the patient. Nicki sighed deeply, in a very good amount of relief. "Is it cold in here?" she asked as DocProf walked closer to Raina.
"Well well well, it was definitely right to come and get me. This little one needs some help now don't she?" The Doc leaned down and closed his eyes, memories of the cause of all of it flooding his brain. It pained him to see someone he knew, Iris, being so lost in her own world. "Well," the Doctor began, "The fastest way to do this would definitely be for me to go a head and heal you. Do you have an objection to that Miss?" he asked, smiling warmly down to his patient.
