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.

>> "Daphnis and Chloe."
“Ah, that would be of the realm of the Muses.” Poseidon muttered as walked along with Gemma.
The night was cool and already he one edge again. They were free of that horrid zoo, what he assumed to be Hades’ stables. But no, this was no Tartarus. This was something else entirely. That became evident as the night went on. It was then that Poseidon realized just how much he missed his realm of the deep oceans. He wanted the water all about him, to feel free in his domain again. But he would not attain that until he found a way out of Jorge’s vessel…and unfortunately away from Gemma’s arms.
And again he was torn.
Jorge was not his body. Gemma was not his to claim neither. But she kissed him. In his world that meant she belonged to himself but the rules of humans were always too difficult for him to follow. Their governing body, their obsession with what is “ethical and moral” had always been a conversation that made his skin crawl. After all, what right did humans have to rule themselves? They knew nothing of true human natures, where they came from, or of the secrets of the cosmos. They should have aligned themselves to trusts the will of the gods and no one else. In a world that like…Poseidon could possess Gemma. But no in this world.
“Tell me, Gemma” he started as he walked on, eyes warily checking every corner of shadow. They needed conversation. Something to take their minds off the facts that they were hungry, tired, sore and blood, and that the night still was not over. “of the vessel in which I inhabit.” he asked as he reached down and touched the strange metal plate the man wore around his neck. “You care for this man a lot. Is he…a king or sorts? He wears a rather magnificent coat of arms about his neck. How came he to capture your heart in such a way that a god is shunned from it?” He let the badge drop back against Jorge’s chest, hands tightening around his staff.

>>“Tell me, Gemma, of the vessel in which I inhabit. You care for this man a lot. Is he…a king or sorts? He wears a rather magnificent coat of arms about his neck. How came he to capture your heart in such a way that a god is shunned from it?”
Gemma sighed as she glanced at him. Whatever happened, whatever the white light meant for the people in the park, it went deep, and stuck, and she had no idea how to prove the truth. She'd tried once; it didn't work. Jorge's true self didn't respond to his name, her presence, not even to the kiss. Poseidon was in full control, for the time being. Might as well chat with him.
"I don't think it's that simple" she mused, keeping her eyes on their surroundings "I don't think you just inhabited his body.You know... the way I see it, you are part of him. Or, he's part of you" she corrected herself, feeling the second option would be more pleasing to the god's pride "he is the part in you that's mortal." Because, after everything else, Jorge was a powerful waterbender. He had a part in him that was truly Poseidon.
"That's not a coat of arms" she added with a smirk "That's a police badge. It means you job is to protect people, catch criminals, and make sure everyone obeys the law. You probably don't remember it, but we've been in trouble together before. You saved my life."

>> “I don't think it's that simple…I don't think you just inhabited his body. You know... the way I see it, you are part of him. Or, he's part of you he is the part in you that's mortal."
Poseidon rose a brow at her comment. What could she possibly mean? After all, the gods were born straight from Cronos and Gaia! The mortals were created by them! So how could mortal souls inhabit any part of a god? But as much as the Ocean God wanted to deny this comment, he found himself somewhat compelled by it. Humans were made in their image (though MUCH smaller), and as silly as it seemed, in many ways they did act like them. There was just as much strife, foolishness and anger in humans as there was in the gods.
Could this be a sign of why he was so pulled to Gemma? Could it be more than just the influence of this man’s vessel? If it were true and gods and mortals shared something of a soul in common, it would explain his feelings towards the mortal female.
Still, if there were one thing that a god did not like, was the notion of not being in full control of who they were. Just the idea that someone, anyone else was having an influence on them was enough spark their anger.
“That is a hard comment to understand,” he whispered as he turned and saw the frustrated look on her face “I apologize if this is difficult for you. I know you miss Jorge. I will do my best to get him back to you as swiftly as possible. His flesh has not died, so his soul will have escaped Hades’ minion death.”
Finally when he had inquired about the coat of arms, that smirk once more appeared on her face. He had to wonder what he said that she always found so amusing.
>> "That's not a coat of arms that's a police badge. It means you job is to protect people, catch criminals, and make sure everyone obeys the law. You probably don't remember it, but we've been in trouble together before. You saved my life."
Poseidon nodded a bit in understanding. He was finally beginning to understand a bit of how this woman could proclaim love for this man.
“So he is a soldier…but of maintaining civilness and peace?” he nodded as he walked on. “A noble trade, but one that I am sure causes you endless worry.” he paused as he turned back to Gemma and looked her over thoughtfully. He would be frank and direct. He was Poseidon after all. “Has he profaned his love you yet, mortal queen? If not…then your mortal must not have much sense.”

"I know." Gemma smiled softly "Thank you."
He'd better keep himself safe. It was a good thing she managed to coax Poseidon into taking care of his 'mortal vessel'. The turning-into-imaginary-beings thing made many people hurt others, or themselves. And gods usually didn't care for humans all that much. Except for this one; this one looked more than interested. He actually cared. She wondered if it was hidden in Poseidon's character somewhere, or if it was Jorge's own self.
>>“Has he profaned his love you yet, mortal queen? If not…then your mortal must not have much sense.”
She blinked as he looked at her, and shook her head. "No... not really." she sighed "We just started going out... um. We just met, not so long ago. Mortal men usually take their time with things like that."
Not that there was anything wrong with that. Gemma was, after all, a grown-up. She'd been through a marriage, and some other... relationships. It was not so shiny and romantic anymore. Patience, she'd discovered long ago, was a virtue. For mortal women, anyway.

Poseidon, again, raised his eyebrow. It seemed like this would be something he would be doing every time he spoke candidly with the female. And this was especially true with this conversation. Taking time? What is it that humans do this to themselves? He could never understand that concept. They seemed to want to do things at the right time and place but what did that even mean?
Poseidon shook his head as he continued on. “That simply makes no sense to me. You mortals. When the sensation is there…it’s there. There is no need to take time, or make one another wait. I could never understand that. Cupid and his cursed arrows. The only reason Aphrodite made him was to put drive humans into the way that love should be treated.” He grinned as he moved on. “Love should be fierce…like a fire that you cannot control. Not so mindnumbing as passion, but just enough to stop your cursed inhibitions.”
He chuckled as he continued on. Though this Jorge did not profess love, at least he must have done something to garner her love. That had to mean he was not doing everything wrong. Still he had to shake his head.

>>“Love should be fierce…like a fire that you cannot control. Not so mindnumbing as passion, but just enough to stop your cursed inhibitions. Humans…you’re all such prudes.”
"All right, that's about enough of my love life for now." Gemma decided, biting back a smirk at his description of love and passion. She was starting to wonder that if they managed to return everything to normal (WHEN. not if. WHEN.) if Jorge would remember all the things Poseidon said. She could imagine him apologizing for everything. The thought of a normal date (she was starting to forget how a date was supposed to go when people were not attacking them), and her teasing the mortal Poseidon about his poetic ideas of love, gave her some strength.
"Mortals tend to be complicated." she summarized, waving her hand "Mortal men more than women, although they claim the opposite." she added with a smirk "And I cannot belive we are actually talking about this with rabid werewolves lurking around in the shadows. That's gotta be the point of no return for surreal..."

>> "Mortals tend to be complicated…Mortal men more than women, although they claim the opposite…And I cannot belive we are actually talking about this with rabid werewolves lurking around in the shadows. That's gotta be the point of no return for surreal..."
Poseidon glanced back to Gemma and noted her lightness on the matter. In his experience Mortals tended to be this way. They always felt themselves to be so complicated and in a way, the ocean god agreed. After all, what other species would make something as simple as procreation so multi-leveled? Mortals breed as any other living creature did. There should be no over-thought connection required. Then again, as he remembered that kiss back there, he had to sigh. Maybe it was okay to be a little complicated now then.
“Mortal men…they have done much in the name of this ‘love’. They believe it gives their cause a greater sense of purpose.” he nodded as he led on. “In a way maybe it does. It gives them strength when it is sapped away, hardens their resolves in the most dire of situations…”
In a way Poseidon envied them a little. After all, how many deeds had he done in the name of such things? Normally the life of a god consisted of watching over his realm and aiding those heroes who are worthy of such help. Never since the war with the Titan’s did Poseidon really lift his hand for the greater good. In a way this situation was helpful to that. He was getting back into that sense of what it meant to be useful and not just saving or destroying civilizations with the waves.
“Gemma,” he paused as he stopped. The area around them was eerily quiet. Too quiet for what was going on around them, but Poseidon paid no heed to it. Instead his attention was fully on this mortal queen. “What would you say if I were to pronounce my love for you? Your mortal man has not done that. Would…you ever consider returning with me to my rea –“
Poseidon did not get to finish his sentence. Before he could a strange sound pierced the air. It was one he had not heard before and could not immediately identify, but he knew it must have meant danger. He carefully pushed Gemma behind his back once more. Off in the distance, bushes shook and tress rustled and before he could comprehend a large creature stepped out from the trees. All over it was the shade of a purple with a massive mouth and eyes as black as pitch. It’s green belly jutted out as he stepped free from the treeline, dragging a bloody corpse behind it by the foot, it’s large mouth covered in blood. It was Barney the dinosaur!
Then it laughed. “Hehehehe! I love you, you love me!” It was only after this that it roared and charged.
“What in the name of the gods?!” Poseidon shouted as he armed himself and prepared.

Gemma shook her head, rolled her eyes, and opened her mouth to answer something along the lines of 'you'll be the one returning to my realm with me, and then we'll talk about pronouncing things...' ... but she never got to say any of it.
Because Barney the dinosaur had just killed a man.
>>“What in the name of the gods?!”
"Well" Gemma said, not even shaken anymore "This is something everyone's seen coming."
Stepping away from the sea god, she checked the gun, then the Barney costume. It was a real costume, not some home-made simplified version. But there was a man in there somewhere...
"It's not a beast, it's another man in a costume" she explained calmly, watching the dinosaur "Do you think you can get the costume off him without hurting him?"

>> "It's not a beast, it's another man in a costume…Do you think you can get the costume off him without hurting him?"
Another human in strange garb? Poseidon had never seen such a thing before and at first he thought that maybe Gemma was mistaken. How could clothing be made to look like such a terrible beast? But during its charge, he had to admit that the creature did not look as if it had real flesh. Instead the skin did look most unreal. He kept his trident at the ready and made not a move as he kept Gemma as far behind him as he could. As soon as she was a few feet away, he could once more feel his connect with the water.
That will prove useful.
“Come man in beast garb!” he screamed as he reared back his staff. As much as he would like to fulfill Gemma’s request to not harm the creature, he really had no choice. The smell of blood was too strong to ignore and through the irritating laughter, the roar that issued from the beast was anything but friendly.
Then, just as the creature came within range, with no signs of stopping, Poseidon unleashed his trident. With swift arch with his arms and the end of the bar flung out and swiped the air in front of him. The spin was so hard and fast that it struck the face mask of the purple dinosaur square in the jaw. But the reaction was different. Instead of the gasp, followed by flying spittle and blood and broken teeth, the ocean god watched in surprised as the beast’s head spun around until it was facing backwards on those purple shoulders.
“His head…it’s…a helmet?” he asked as he watched the Barney beast flail around in confusion.
As soon as the creature came within view again, Poseidon jabbed out with the trident and struck the back of the head hard enough to sent the mask tumbling off onto the ground. Poseidon stepped back in surprised as he watched the monster’s head be replaced with a man’s head. The man had a wild look in his eyes as he gazed about as well as what looked like a river of old blood stuck to the corners of his lips. Had that man’s head…devoured bloody human flesh? The man turned and turned before he finally laid eyes on Poseidon and snarled.
“That was not nice!” He growled as he suddenly ran forward, which looked rather awkward in his large foamy costume. “Barney’s going to have to eat your spine for that!”
Poseidon was a little thrown by that remark and just enough for the overly large dinosaur to barrel into the god, knock him aside, and reach out to grab Gemma.

Gemma watched in morbid amazement as Jorge beheaded Barney the Purple Dinosaur. It was something parents generally had a great desire to do. She could relate to that. The sight of the man's head with the bloody mouth brought her back to reality. There was nothing even remotely funny about someone hurting, possibly killing, another human being. Not even as a dinosaur.
>>“That was not nice! Barney’s going to have to eat your spine for that!”
Barney tackled Jorge; the sheer momentum and the weight of the costume brought them both down. Fortunately, the costume also kept Barney from hurting Jorge more than he was already hurt, and kept his human head away from him.
"Some children's shows should really be censored." Gemma frowned, kneeling Barney in the nose as he reached out to grab her. She could have shot him - and many parents would have thanked her - but that would have been over the top...
Kicking the faliling dino-human off Jorge, she glared at him. "Stay down, Barney. You don't want to follow the rest of your kind into extinction, do you."

>> "Stay down, Barney. You don't want to follow the rest of your kind into extinction, do you."
Poseidon heard Gemma address the creature by its proper name and of course, he had difficulty understanding it. The name sounded so innocent and the voice of the creature was calming, almost as if it were an entertainment beast for children. But that was far from true. The monster was blood thirsty. Whoever this person was, he spoke with ease, but still embodied the type of creature he dressed as. He was purple skinned lizard with the happy voice of a teacher, but the savagery of a true monster.
Barney growled as he flew back, his nose broken and bleeding profusely. But in seconds he was back up on his over sized feet. The whole scene looked rather comical as the creature snarled at Poseidon and Gemma, his small human head sticking out of the neck of the large, purple and green costume.
“No, not nice friends at all!” he growled as he came at Gemma again.
But it was Poseidon’s turn to be on the offensive. As the man-dinosaur charged by, the ocean god struck out his open palms. The waters from sprinklers obeyed, surged against their metal confines and torn up from the ground. Jets of water splashed up, hitting the Barney-creature straight in the face. Enough to distract him while Poseidon leapt up from the ground and struck out once more with his trident. The blunt end of the bar hit hard and fast, this time connecting with the real man’s jaw. The sound of bone shattered greeted their ears as Barney flew onto his back once more, bruised and bloodied up.
Poseidon breathed heavily as he leaned on his trident and glanced back over to Gemma.
“You obviously know what this creature is?”
”ARRRRRRRRRGHHHHH!!!”
The scream pierced the air and Poseidon turned to look past Gemma. As he did, a floating series of giggles resounded, mixed in with the sounds of tearing pain. As he looked he spotted another mortal on the ground, being literally torn apart by a group of four creatures. These were even worse than the purple and green dinosaur. These creatures were tall, each a different color that ranged from red, to purple, to yellow and green. Their creepy beige faces and large doll like eyes were enough to cause the god’s skin to crawl. All four were hunched over a now dead person, feasting on limbs and blood that spilled forth.
And from them, as they turned and spied Gemma and Poseidon, they shouted the most hideous war cry the god had ever heard. “It’s Teletubby time! Teletubby time!!”
Poseidon saw the group and he grabbed Gemma’s good arm. “I don’t believe this is a fight we can win, my queen. It might be better to run.”
The largest of the creatures, the purple one, suddenly stood up straight and glared down at Gemma and Poseidon. From its spot it suddenly screamed and rallied it’s brethren around it and charged after them.

>>“You obviously know what this creature is?”
Gemma winced as she watched Barney go down with a shattered jaw. Another person that she'd need to put on her 'I'm so sorry we hurt/crippled/shot you, we had no choice' list. If it was up to her, DocProf would be working overtime for the next few days. She wished that was her only problem right now.
"I wish I didn't." she sighed, looking down at the purple man.dinosaur "It's a children's story gone horribly wrong."
Apparently, it was not the only one.
Gemma felt sick as she watched the Teletubbies. It was not the first time that sentence was true. But right now, they were... well, eating a person. Years of therapy, I say. Probably a lifetime.
>>“I don’t believe this is a fight we can win, my queen. It might be better to run.”
"Agreed." she said, turning around and dashing off, away from the little monsters and towards, hopefully, the source of the problem. She made sure Jorge could keep up; she was not that fast herself, but his leg was hurt. The last thing she wanted was to leave him behind for Tinky Winky to munch on. Nobody deserves such fate.

The only thing that Poseidon could do was run. The pain in his leg was sharp but he had to keep going. He made sure that Gemma was in front, but still he managed to a glance back. The foursome of terrifying, multi-colored creatures were still chasing them. As much as he did not like the idea of running from battle, the vessel was badly damaged and exhausted. His body was worn and tired, his limbs exhausted and his eyes were blurry. It had been a long night and the human vessel was suffering every single bit of that.
But he swore to Gemma that he would keep Jorge safe. Even if that meant pushing him beyond the human’s limits to get away from being devoured alive.
“Move Gemma! Faster!” he yelled as he charged ahead.
Another glance back and he saw that the creatures were gaining fast. They ignored any of other the other costumed people, only paying them as much heed as was required to knock them aside. They smelled the blood on Poseidon and Gemma and that was exactly what they wanted most. Then, they the beasts drew closer, Poseidon glanced ahead and spied an odd sight. A gather of dark skinned men dressed in tunics, sandals and wearing headdresses appeared. They had been passing by when they noticed the fleeing duo, but their interest seemed mainly on Gemma.
The lead man, a tall gentleman where a blue and gold headdress stepped forward and brandished a makeshift spear. He eyed Gemma as they came running, then a look of recognition appeared on his face. He quickly waved Gemma over. They were soliders of Ancient Egypt. Or…at least they were dressed that way.
“Queen Cleopatra! We have been searching for you!” the man yelled as he eyed the pursuing creatures. “We are your royal guard! What is happening here?!”

>>“Queen Cleopatra! We have been searching for you! We are your royal guard! What is happening here?!”
Gemma was just starting to wonder if she had enough bullets for all the Tubbies. She really didn't want to hurt them - they were quite small, which meant they were probably children, not like she would shoot an adult more easily, but still. She had to stop them somehow, they couldn't keep running forever.
Then, out of the blue, her royal guard showed up. (Who the heck dresses as Cleopatra's royal guard?...) (She really hoped Anthony wouldn't decide to show up tonight.)
"Yes. Well. Um." she said as she stopped running, panting heavily from exhaustion. She glanced back at Jorge, then at the horror Tubbies, then back to her royal guard. "Great. You know what? Take those things down. Be careful, they are dangerous. I want them alive, but make sure they can't escape."
That should do the trick...
"Queen Cleopatra!" someone else bellowed behind them, and Gemma was rolling her eyes even before she turned around. What was it with people and Ancient Egypt? She didn't even look like much of a queen anyway.

>> ""Great. You know what? Take those things down. Be careful, they are dangerous. I want them alive, but make sure they can't escape."
Poseidon watched as Gemma conversed with these new men in clothing similar to hers. It was obvious that they were of the same realm, but they were more the soldier types. They had even announced that they were her personal guard. The ocean god found this odd because she had expressed time and again this night that she was no queen but here was her personal entourage? Maybe she was of some other type of importance.
Poseidon stepped back as the legion of men, on her orders, jumped into the fray and chased down the frightful foursome of creatures. They bludgeoned the hapless creatures but before they were taken down, one of the soldiers had been harmed. He screamed as one of the creatures, the smallest who kept shouting the odd word of “PO” had managed to have it’s head knocked off, only to reveal a smaller human head underneath. This creature had then caught one of them by surprised and bit down hard on his calf.
After that the rest of the guards managed to subdue and, as much as they wanted to kill the abominations, they held back. Instead they used their makeshift staves and clubs to knock out the beasts and tie them tight.
He shook his head as he was about to turn back to Gemma. “They’re pelts would make fine cloths but –“
>> "Queen Cleopatra!"
Poseidon turned and looked oddly at the toga dressed man. He seemed pleased to see Gemma and walked up to her with wide open arms. The god was unsure why but a pang of jealousy poked at his vessels human heart and Poseidon began to step forward, eyeing the strange man who presented himself to Gemma, and tried to look as regal as he possible could. It would be hard though, trapped in this human vessel, he did not have the grandeur he normally would if he were in his true godly form. But he would have to make do.
“Good evening, mortals.” Poseidon announced as he arrived at Gemma’s side.
