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.

"Well I'm glad you did, cause I was wondering if you ever were going to take the initiative." *She said softly, while opening her eyes and smiling as she cupped his face with one hand.* "As much as I would like to continue getting to know you in this way, we don't have the room all day and check out is about now." *Setsuna teased.* "Let's go check out this mutant school and hope they have room for some new guests."
Reaching up, Ruben took Setsuna's hand and nodded in agreement with a playful boyish smile. "Right."
Going outside to hail a cab while Setsuna took care of checking out, Ruben found a driver who knew where the institute was and would take them all the way.
Sitting in the cab, Ruben kept quiet as he thought for the first time of what this place could potentially mean to him. Perhaps they needed a doctor there? He missed dealing with the patients and seeing them leave his hands happy and healed. Reading over the brochure one more time, Ruben found his hand subconsciously searching for Setsuna's as they came closer and closer to their destination...
*Setsuna watched the tall buildings begin to disappear until there was nothing but trees filling her view out of the window. Her mind was racing with the thoughts of moving in somewhere new, not being able to see the children from the dojo, losing her sensei, and worst of all, Eric coming to find she and Ruben at Xavier's mansion. She didn't want to bring anymore innocent people into her problems. Setsuna felt even more terrible when she thought about Ruben getting hurt in the process because of her past. The more time she spent with him, the more she wanted to keep him around for as long as possible. She felt Ruben's hand on hers as it rested on the seat. Setsuna wasn't sure if it was because she was staring out the window blankly in thought or that he simply wanted to hold hands. Nevertheless, she took it and turned to smile at him reassuringly. Setsuna hadn't had a relationship in a very long time because there just wasn't time for one. The last one she had was with Eric and she was still trying to forget it ever happened. They hadn't lasted more than a few months because Setsuna couldn't stand his arrogance and cruel comments toward others. Who would've thought the two would now be enemies; one trying to murder the other.* cabbie: "Alright, this is the place." *Setsuna's thoughts had been interrupted by the driver and she first noticed the huge mansion ahead of them. The entrance was closed with two, large, iron gates with a communication monitor on the brick wall that enclosed the perimeter. She paid the cab driver and stepped out of the car with only her sword and a few other things on her person. Setsuna walked around the car, just as it was driving off, and stood next to Ruben as they both looked through the gates and onto the grounds where a good number of mutant children were playing on the lawn along with a couple adults watching over them.* "Guess this is it." *She looked at the brochure to find the Headmistress's name once more.* "Delilah Rose Tipper a.k.a. Tricity. Hmmm...guess there's no secret to her mutation. So, shall we?"
Ruben walked up to the comm outside the lavish estate and pressed the button to call attantion to themselves. "Hello? We're looking for a Miss Delilah Rose Tipper... we read this was a safe place for mutants?" Ruben asked with a look to Setsuna that looked questioning.
"Lets hope this works out..." he said to her quietly as they awaited a reply.
*Tricity came outside of the mansion and crossed the lawn to meet the new people at the gate. They were older mutants, much to the delight of Tricity. She mentally used her powers to shut the gates off right before pulling them open to let the two come inside.* "Hello. I'm Tricity, it's great to meet you both. What are your names?"
Victoria stepped out of the cab, letting the door shut with a loud slam. She handed the cab driver his fare with no tip for his behaviour, barely keeping her eyes off of the large mansion. Near her home in England she had seen many castles and ancient buildings, so this reminded her of that home, but this building was much more than that.
Stepping away from the cab, she looked over at Fade, waiting for some sort of reassurance. She quickly closed her mouth as it began to gape at the scenery, suddenly focusing her attention at two other adult individuals at the gate. "Oy, Fade, who are they?" She nodded in their direction, not realizing that they too were trying to gain entry.
Tossing her hair back over her shoulders, Victoria walked up to Fade's side, the cab finally pulling away. She could see now that the man and woman were talking in the intercom and a woman had come down the walkway to meet them. She kept looking back and forth between the group and Fade, looking for some sort of indication as to what the next step would be.
"Oh, that's Tricity, she's the one that if I'm going to get in any trouble at all, she's going to be the one to punish me. I have no idea who the other two are, they must be new as well." She shrugged before walking toward Tricity. "Hey, Ms. Tipper, brought another mutant." Fade said, expecting to get a harsh "WHAT WERE YOU DOING OUTSIDE OF OUR WALLS." kind of welcoming. She took a long, deep breath, and waited for the words of anger to come pouring out of Tricity's mouth. Desperately, Fade hoped that she would not say anything about her disappearance and wandering around without anyone else. Quietly, she tightened her grip on her clothes as she waited for Tricity to reply.

kinson walked slowly down the crowded new york streets. he was gonna take the day off and not kill anybody today. he was wearing a large black trench coat to hide his weapons so he dident seem to out of place. he moved through the streets listening smelling and observing all that he could.
*Kilala crossed the street, weaving through the hundreds of bodies throughout the city. She had done a lot of shopping that day and carrying these bags was becoming tedious. Tricity was nice enough to let Kilala borrow her car, so Kilala began heading back that way. When she came to the garage, she informed the attendant that she was just dropping off some packages before heading back out to shop. He helped her put the bags in the mustang and then went back to his post. Kilala now went to buy bathroom things for she and Ruben. Losing everything at the dojo was really hard on Kilala, but she knew she had to keep on truckin. She quickly found a pharmacy and picked up a basket to start her shopping. In a half hour or so, Kilala was finished and paid for her items. When she left the store and headed for the car, Kilala felt someone was following her. She put her bags in the trunk and nodded toward the attendant, but before she had the chance to enter her car, someone put a hand on the door to stop her.* man1: "Excuse me. I'd like to have a word with you." "I'm sorry, I'm in a rush." *She reached for the latch again to pull the door open completely, but he held the door firmly.* man1: "This won't take long." *He reached out for Kilala's throat, but she grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm behind him. She put a knee in his back and forced him down to the ground on his own knees. Suddenly she saw the attendant running toward them.* attendant: "LOOK OUT!!" *She turned around and saw another man who apparently was trying to put a cloth around her nose and mouth. Kilala ducked out of the way, having to let go of the first man. She did a leg sweep, taking down the second man easy enough. The attendant grabbed the shoulder of the 1st man to keep him away from Kilala and the two began a scuffle. The second man grabbed Kilala in a chokehold, lifting her from the ground. She pulled her weight down and was able to flip the man over her shoulder and onto his back. Kilala kicked him hard in the face, knocking him out. She ran over to the attendant and other man fighting, the attendant was now on the pavement. The attacker reached into his jacket and pulled out a handgun, aiming it at the young attendant. Kilala was lucky enough to be coming from behind them. She rushed upon the man and grabbed the gun, just as it discharged. The bullet hit a few feet away from the attendant as he scrambled to his feet. Kilala put the man in the full nelson and the attendant gave him a couple shots in the face to knock him out. She dropped the unconscious man to the ground and nodded.* "Good job. There's more to you than just working at this lot." *He smiled and kicked the downed man.* attendant: "Why are they after you?" "Could be many reasons, unfortunately." *He nodded and watched Kilala search the pockets of both the attackers. She took out two identification cards, claming the men were from M.E.P.A.* "What the hell is M.E.P.A.?" attendant: "It's that Mutant research place. They do experiments on mutants there. Hey! Are you a mutant??" "Honestly?" *She looked at him from her kneeling position and seemed excited that he would be in the presence of a mutant. Kilala nodded and looked back at the identification cards.* "Yea...I am. Thanks for your help." *Kilala stood up and headed back to Tricity's car. The attendant followed on her heels.* attendant: "SO, what can you do??" *She got into the driver's seat and started the car. He looked at her with the excitement of a child on Christmas. Kilala sighed and created a forcefield outside of the window.* "Spit toward the field." *He looked at her with confusion, but then did it. The liquid flew toward the ground, but slowed as it hit the frosted forcefield. His face lit up and he looked back at her.* attendant: "My name is Sam, what's yours?" "Sam, I would call the police before these two wake up, alright?" *She quickly exited the parking lot, heading straight back to the mansion to talk with Tricity about this government branch she was interested in learning more about.*

Going through a feeling that Lee never felt befor...not being able to see...feeling as if all four walls around him where only inches apart, then in a split second Lee landed flat on his feet. With the rain hitting down on his face Lee uses one of his abilites seeing secs in to the future and reaches out and grabs Kalt befor she lands on the ground.
"Wow now. You okay beautiful? I cant have you go and hurting that beautiful face of yours." he says pulling her back close to him and wraping his arms back around her waist.
Lee stands there with his arms wraped around Kalts waist suporting her weight well she leans up against him. Thinking to him self he may be getting a little to close to this girl he begins to re think his actions. But then maybe he can some how make this works.'maybe.....probly not'
Kalt looked up into Lee's face and smiled before standing up on tip toe to give him a gentle kiss on his lips. "Thanks. Sorry I couldn't get us closer. I hope the rain won't bother you." Kalt slipped one of her hands in to Lee's and turned to face the street.
"Do you think we should get a cab or do you not mind the rain?" As Kalt said this she thought to herself 'I can't understand what it is about this guy. He doesn't seem like the bad type and thats what I usually go for. Maybe there is something he hasn't told me though I doubt that. I am probably just having a change of taste in guys.'
With the warm rain coming down from the sky Lee begins to wish he had some sorta power that could control the weather and make everything seem perfect but he cant. Lee lets go of Kalts hand and takes of his Jacket. Putting it on Kalts shoulders to try and keep her a bit more dry he reaches out and takes her hand and says "Shall we my dear?" and the two of them begin to walk down the street. "Its funny, I have only known you for what a few hours... And here i am walking side by side, hand in hand with this beautiful young lady and it feels like I known you for some time now."
Looking up at a big beautiful gray building a smile rises on Lee's face. "Ahh where here. The Frick Collection. I really hope you like it... Damn come to think of it I never brought someone to the museum with me." Lee pulls Kalt on to the stairs out of the rain looks down and gives here that same gentle kiss she gave him monents befor and says. "But then im happy your my first."
Kalt felt a happiness fill her like nothing before. Smiling at Lee with her eyes so blue that the yellow in them stood out more than ever Kalt said,"I am glad to be the first to come with you to the museum and I am very happy you are my first as well."
Kalt looked at the front of the museum but all she could think about was Lee's hand holding hers and the two kisses they had shared. Thinking about everything that had happened since her parents died, Kalt began to realize how unhappy she had been. She felt as if nothing bad could happen to her and Kalt wanted to tell someone but remembered she didn't know anyone but Lee.
"I hope I don't scare you off by saying this but I just can't get over how happy I am with you. Even though we just met I am the happiest I have been since my parents died and I think its because of you." Kalt looked into Lee's and let all of her happiness shine through her eyes.
Kalt asked Lee,"Oh I was wondering, how old are you? I was thinking about it and I coudln't make a good guess. 20, 23 maybe?" After a moment she thought 'Damn it that was such a random question. I guess I didn't use up enough energy on the way here to get my hyperness out. I gotta find something to expend all this extra energy, its driving me crazy.'
Lee looks over at Kalt and gives a slight laugh. "Ha, you scare me off nah i dont think thats gonna happen anytime soon." Holding her hand tight they began to walk up the steps to the museum. after hearing the words she had just told them Lee started to think about all the things he's done again in the past years...months... and weeks. All that stuff he use to enjoy make him happy now hes feeling a different sort of happiness. Just walking with Kalt close to him Lee begins to wounder how his life would go if he changed...but how could he just for a woman.
"To answer your question im 26. Ya know its kinda crazy i been with a few woman in my time but I never new i could have so much fun and enjoy my self just going to the museum with someone. Well then again its you. I think i can get use to this." He said giving her hand a tight squeze.
Lee walks up to front desk and pulls out his wallet. After paying for the two he turns back to kalt and reaches out for both hands. squeezing them tightly he laughs at him self and say's. "God i hope you dont find me a geek. I just think art is one of the most beautiful things...well next to you of course."
Kalt smiled, she couldn't help but smile when Lee talked to her. Especially when he was paying her compliments all the time. "I don't think you are a geek at all. In fact, I draw a bit myself so I like art. When we get back to the mansion I should show the name tag on my door. Its only pen and ink but I love it all the same. Oh and some of my sketch books."
Kalt thought for a moment before saying,"I hope this won't bother you but I am only 17. It doesn't bother me, actually I like older guys. But I don't want to make you uncomfortable." Kalt bit her lower lip hoping that the difference in their ages would not matter to Lee.
