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.

Iris gulped. All of a sudden she was having second thoughts about this. She'd never fought with a group before, and all of her life had been spent hiding her gifts. To use them outright was something she was still getting used to. That, along with dealing with her personality changes. But if the sim was only fifteen minutes, she should be okay.
<"Well, no time like the present to find out."> Iris closed her eyes briefly. Her back burned for a brief moment. Her blonde hair washed into a dull purple, and a gem of the same color appeared in the palm of her hand. She yawned and stretched, cracking her back and neck loudly. She opened her now violet eyes and grinned at Nika. Any shyness or uncertaintiy had vanished.
"All right Nika. What'd'ya say we show the boys how its done?"
"Hey Iris should we check out the house first?" She saw Nika's eyes shift. "Hey behind you!"
Iris reacted by throwing herself into a backflip. A wooden fence post split the air where she'd been standind. She landed behind the guy dressed in ragged suspenders and a red-checkered shirt. As she landed, hand's first then feet, she put her weight on her hands and twisted in a kick, knocking the guy to the ground. He landed on the post he'd just been trying to nail her with. The imaged flickered, then vanished. She glanced at the guys, then Nika, eyes wide. "Um, yeah! House is good."
Suddenly Iris' hair changed to a purple color and her attitude changes some too. She seemed more confident and ready for whatever might come along.
That was nothing compared to what Iris did next. Nika looked in awe as she looked like someone from the matrix movies when she flipped and then kicked the guy down. She watched as the image disappeared after the killing blow. That actually made Nika feel better about the whole thing. Now it was more like a video game to her.
"Ok let's go then," she shouted back to Iris as they ran for the house.
When they got close enough Nika knocked on the door, but no one answered. When she went to knock a second time an explosion was heard just before a chunk of the door burst into splinters. Luckily the cat girl was standing just to the side of the door as there was now a basketball sized hole in the center of the door.
She felt a fiery sensation shoot up her back as her adrenaline shot into action. The shotgun blast had scared the poor girl instantaneously and sent her into super mode.
Nika slammed both her hands against the wooden door sending it flying off it's hinges and crashing into a wall several feet into the house. A hand flopped out from a space between the door and the wall before flickering and vanishing.
She looked to Iris and extended her claws. "Let's see who else is home shall we?"
Kesuk looked how Jason manipulated his blood to form super strong fist. It was quite impressive, but Kesuk wouldnt let Jason know that. " Thats cool i guess, if we are in kindergarten and just go around smashing things" He said. Kesuk then sprinted to a bale of hay near Jason where he had seen a farmer with a pitch fork. The farmer jabbed it at him but he missed and Kesuk grabbed the pitch fork and hurdeled it far away, he then kicked the man in his neck, breaking it. Suddenly Kesuk seen a man with a gun pointing at him. Kesuk panicked and didnt know what to do and he heard a "BAM!". The bullet was coming straight for him!

Jason quickly stepped between the two. Pulling his arms up towards his face creating a shield protected Jason from most of the shot. Jason looked gave him self a real quick once over… Spots where Jason couldn’t protect him self slowly began to bleed. Seconds later the blood began to turn in to small drops of metal and sealed the wounds. Jason looked over at Kesuk and just shook his head. Jason took off in a fast sprint finally throwing a shoulder connecting in to the mans stomach. Jason was in a rage. This was Jason’s kinda training. Just lifted his hand in to the air getting ready to drive his fist through the farmers face. As his fist came slamming down Jason let out a loud laugh and slammed his hand in to the ground next to the man. He stood up picking the man and tossing him to the feet of Kesuk who looked on as Jason did what he seemed to do best.
“Hey how bout you stop trying to impress Nika and just do your damn job. You take care of you and Ill take care of me. And you can finish your own job. He was yours anyway.” Jason turned tearing off his shirt that was already messed up from the gun shot blast and started walking towards the house.
“Ha, he thought he was saving me.” Jason said out loud as he picked up a jog towards the house.

As the girls headed for the house, Iris held out one hand, feeling for any moisture in the area. The groundwater began to collect and gather into a blob, as did some of the mud in the area. They reached the house, and Nika knocked. Chuckling, Iris called out, "Avon ladies!" The shotgun in reply scared the daylights out of her, sending her into a fit of nervous giggles. Nika burst into action. Iris looked on and grinned. "Guess they don't like salesmen."
They made their way into the creaking house which sounded as if it could collapse at any minute. The moonlight cast shadows on the wall. "Why do I feel like I'm in a black and white horror movie?" Her voice echoed quietly.
A nearby creak startled Iris into retaliating. A barrage of liquid bullets pounded into a nearby doorway, shredding it. There was a flicker of light, marking another 'kill'. She motioned for Nika to follow, and crept into what turned out to be a large den.
"Yeah I thought of that too." Nika smelled the air and her ears flicked in different directions hoping to pick up the sound of someone trying to be sneaky.
Something tumbled on the other side of the room making the cat girls ears focus in on it. It was a distraction as a man stepped out from behind a closet door and grabbed Nika from behind. He held her across her throat with one arm and his other held her left arm.
Nika hissed and quickly reached back grabbing the man's crotch with her right hand. Her claws digging in deep causing him to almost squeal in pain and making him let go of her neck and arm as he tried to remove her hand. Stepping sideways Nika grabbed the man by the throat with her left hand and using her boosted strength lifted the guy up with both arms and threw him across the room into the opposite wall. However she never let go of his crotch as the rest of him smashed through the wooden wall.
Nika looked at Irisas she dropped the mangled flesh. "No comment."

Iris spun defensively, intending to help Nika, but instead finding herself also attacked from behind. She was pulled off balance as someone grabbed a fistful of her hair and yanked her backwards, slamming her into the wall. Crystal had been right; Iris felt every bit of both the yank and hit, and it only served to anger her. One hand went to her head, and she grabbed his wrist. She lashed out with the other, her elbow catching her opponent in the throat. She hit again, as hard as she could, and a third time. After the fourth hit he crumbled to the floor, and vanished. Iris rubbed her head, and glanced at Nika. Her eyebrows raised as she realized what Nika was holding.
"No comment."
"Amen, sista'." Iris saluted her and moved back out into the front room.
Kesuk was sure he was going to get shot, but his partner saved him. Maybe this guy wasnt all that bad, even though he was full of smart remarks. Even though he saved him he was still making Kesuk mad with his little 'stop trying to impress Nika' bits. When Jason set off to the house, Kesuk eyes turned ice blue and lifted off the ground about a foor then suddenly he heard a crackle of lightning and when he returned to the ground he noticed a singe mark near him. Did Kesuk do this? Did he cause this bolt of lightning?. Somehow he had to focus on that feeling he just had so he could use this ability. But for now Kesuk just sprinted near the house also. on the way he got in a spar with a farmer but took him out easily with his Tai chi

Jason looked back with a sick grin on his face and just thought to himself there’s no way Kesuk was gonna hang with him under these conditions. This was Jason’s game, he may not be that smart but he does what he does and he does it damn good. Jason approached the farm house and saw nothing was left in one of the doorways but a wooden frame. “Ha, well I don’t think someone is gonna kick there own door in so I guess they went this way.” Jason said to him self. He Looked over his shoulder and saw Kesuk doing some oh his tai chi on someone. Jason just laughed again it looked more like dancing then fighting. But if it worked for him then I guess it would have to do.
“Damn, this guy is gonna really slow me down.” He said to his self. “Would you hurry the hell up already?” He yelled. Now this defiantly wasn’t the smartest thing he could have done. Cause three farmers that were intending to sneak up on the other team found someone by himself. Jason walked in the house and found both Nika, and Iris sneaking through the house. “Well funny running in too the two of you here.” He said looking towards the two girls. But no sooner that the last word left the tip of his tongue, Jason felt a solid blow from a baseball bat hit him making him fall forward through the kitchen table. Two of the men went flying towards the girls and the one with the bat went to finish the job he had started on Jason. Jason rolled over looking at a man in a pair of blue overhauls swinging the bat back towards Jason and all he could think to him self was “Man this is gonna hurt…”

Iris heard Jason's shout from outside. She glanced at Nika.
"Sounds like the boys are having issues," she remarked, her voice barely above a whisper. "I guess sneaking around isn't a strong point."
“Well funny running in too the two of you here.”
Iris turned toward Jason's voice, but only saw him fly forward into the table. She reflexively backed away several steps as three more Haters appeared, two headed in their direction. One of them came toward her with a horsewhip. Iris's eyes narrowed and her mouth twisted into a grin. She held both arms in front of her body like a boxer.
"Come on, pal. I dare you." The whip snapped forward, wrapping around her forearm painfully. She gritted her teeth, knowing she'd just lost some points. "Nika! Duck!!" She yelled, hoping the girl had the reflexes of a cat, as well as the features. At the same time she grabbed the whip with both hands and pulled as hard as she could. Her life working on a ranch held her in good stead, and she was able to pull the farmer off his feet. She leaned back and twisted on her heel. The farmer's momentum sent both him and her spinning, and he slammed into the other two. She let the force pull her off of her feet, and all four slammed into the wall. Fortunately for Iris, she had three bodies between her and the wall, so her fall was cushioned, before they flickered and disappeared.
She sat up, giggling, and rolled her eyes. "Wow! Major dizzy spell!" She grinned at Jason. "Next time you come to visit, don't bring your cousins, 'kay?"
Suddenly she cried out as a cattle prod landed in the middle of her back. Under her liquid gem's power, the electricity was unusually intense, and she doubled over in pain.
Nika also heard Jason yelling at Kesuk and moments later he was greeting the girls just before smashing through a table. A couple of the farmers rushed at Iris and herself. Then she heard Iris yell for her to duck and she dropped to the floor so that she was in a crouched position on her hands and feet.
It was only seconds later that a large collison of bodies crashed into one of the walls. Nika saw Iris was among them but luckily she didn't get hurt to badly. Then the cat girls teammate spat out a sarcastric remark to Jason just before she let out a yell of pain.
Nika saw Iris arch forward as if something jabbed her in the back causing her to fall down. That's when she saw what happened. Another farmer had jammed a cattle prod into the poor girls back and was now looking to do it again. Nika suddenly let out a sound that resembled a mountain lion's roar and using her arms and legs propelled herself at the man just as he raised the prod up to strike Iris. She caught the man in the face with her claws and her momentum sent them both flying into the counter near the sink. A loud crunch sound was heard as the mans back was broken as soon as he hit the counter corner.
Nika got up and quickly went to check on Iris. "Hey are you ok?"
Kesuk just finished his last guy and ran toward his partner who apeared to be ambushed. When he arrived he heard the roar of a mountain lion?. Suddenly he had seen the farmer standing near Jason with a bat raised about to stike him.
“Man this is gonna hurt…” he had heard Jason say. Not if Kesuk could help it, becuase Jason had saved him now it was Kesuk's turn, even if Jason was being a real jerk with his sarcastic remarks.
Kesuk focused on the same feeling he had back on the bale of hay. Then his eyes turned ice blue and once again Kesuk raised off the floor about 5 feet. Suddenly a blue bolt of lightning shot down from the dark sky and came crashing thru the roof of the house partly breaking a peice of it and scattering it around the house while vaporizomg the farmer with the bat. Right after Kesuk fell to a knee and started to breath heavily while looking to the floor.
"I got your back man" he said panting, and looking up to give another sarcastic smile to let Jason know he wasnt as incompetent as he had said.
A few seconds later, Kesuk had regained his breath looked thru the door. He had seen a man with a badly scratched face right before he dissapeared. Then he had seen Nika going to go check on Iris who was on the floor. " Are the both of you alrig....." Kesuk had started to say but had seen a man with a gun aiming toward Nika, and Kesuk once again evoked his mutation and a bombardment of golf ball sized hail pellets pulverized the farmer, causing hims to dematerialize.

Jason laid on the floor for only a few seconds after Kesuk had taken care of the man that was getting ready to attack him. Blood was dripping out of Jason’s mouth and moving down his arm like it was alive. As the blood trickled down his arm it started to create a sharp pointy object appearing to be like a knife or something of the sort. As Kesuk was talking to the girls all Jason could do was see himself walking behind Kesuk and impaling this new tool that was attached to his hand through his back and out the front. The vision was looking perfect in his eyes but he just need to keep it as a vision. Jason made his way over towards Kesuk kicking chairs moving small objects out of his way till he was standing right behind Kesuk with his left hand he placed it on Kesuk’s hip and the new pointy end on the other side. Jason leaned in as close to Kesuk as he could hoping to keep the this little conversation between the two of them.
“Look here buddy I aint here for you to be my daddy or my big brother. I don’t need you to try and take care of me cause it aint needed. So what I need from you is to just take care of your self cause your help is neither wanted or needed. Got that pretty boy?” Jason whispered in his ear as he stepped off allowing Kesuk to be freed from his grip and left him with a little but meaningful grip.

Iris blinked, trying to clear the spots in her eyes. “Unh! Gonna feel that later.” She nodded to Nika. “Yeah. I think I’m okay. Just a bit dizzy. Thanks for the save partner.” She got to her feet, groaning a bit. “Gah! Now I know why water and electricity don’t mix.”
She couldn’t hear what Jason told Kesuk, but his stance was unmistakable; someone didn’t like being, in his mind, ‘shown up’. She shook her head and winked at Nika. “Glad I’m on your side,” she murmured.
“Simulation will end in five minutes,” the soft computer voice announced. Iris glanced up reflexively and looked around.
Suddenly a strange feeling crept up her spine. She glanced around, violet eyes narrowed. The house creaked ominously, but no new opponents appeared, which seemed odd since the sim was almost over. If anything, they should be coming in droves.....
Iris took a step backward, toward a window. “Um, guys? I’m not sure we should stay-”
A funny crackling noise reached her ear a split-second before the windows shattered inward. Burning missles rained in from outside, bouncing against the walls and floor. What was left of the table caught fire quicker than a matchstick, as did the rest of the furnishings. Within a few seconds the kitchen became a firetrap. The smell of gasoline hung heavy in the air, and as the flames spread so did the thick smoke. Iris had hit the floor after the attack, but the smell burned her throat and lungs, making her cough. From her position she could see several pairs of feet in the doorways.
Nika smiled as Iris confirmed she was ok and was happy to be partners, but before Nika could respond back the house was suddenly attacked. Fire was everywhere and the house was filing with smoke. The cat girl covered her head until things stopped exploding and bouncing around.
A few moments later Nika looked up and saw the feet in the doorway also. She couldn't see what they were wearing but she knew they had to get out of there.
Looking around quickly Nika spotted one of the chairs that Jason had shoved out of his way. Part of it was on fire but Nika had to do something. She quickly got up, grabbed the chair and flung it into the doorway. Before the chair hit anything Nika charged for the door way as well. "I'm making a hole! Everyone this way!"
While in her charge she lowered her head and rammed into the men in the doorway causing the men and herself to topple into the hallway. Unfortunately, when the mass of bodies slammed into the wall in the hallway the force of the impact caused a rather large mirror to come crashing down ontop of Nika and the men. The glass shattered on impact and Nika yelled out.
