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.

Guest
Bronson Malloy, cheating husband, knocks at his mistress' apartment door. Greeted at the door with a hot kiss from Andie Leady, a 22 year old dancer wearing nothing more than a silky, see-through nightie. They play around a little before moving to her bedroom. She undresses him, and he strips her of the nightie. As soon as they are about to, the window behind Andie's bed smashes, an arrow stuck into her dresser, a long nylon rope attached to it.
The Archer swings into the room, kicking Bronson in the process. He lands in the floor and hears Andie's screams. He goes to the side of the bed on the floor where Bronson lay, and picks him up. He slams him against the wall. "Who the hell do you think you are?!" The Archer screams at Bronson through his voice changer. "A tough guy?! Beating up on women?!" He gives Bronson a hard punch with his right hand, sending him down the floor once again. Andie continues to scream as she tries to find something to cover herself with.
Bronson tries to say something, but can't get it out before The Archer punches him again. A kick to Bronson's face. A punch to his ribs. Another throw into the wall opposite from the side they are on. The Archer pulls out his bow and an arrow, he pulls back on the bowstring, and lets the arrow go with great power and accuracy.
Bronson lay dead on the floor, an arrow shaft pointing out of his forehead. Andie screams and The Archer jumps out the window to the fire escape on the neighboring building. He flees the apartment building, and with ease is far away.
It's 3:30 in the afternoon. Siren is sitting on the floor of his tiny-yet-expensive One bedroom apartment. He's sitting on the living room floor, which, any more doubles as Apollo, Harmony and Aria's bed room/playpen/changing room/ other, surrounded by pillows and fluffy blankets. He holds Harmony in his lap, feeding her a bottle, as he talks cheerfully to Apollo and Aria, who are both squirming around the floor. Aria's crawling more often now, but Apollo- who is still smaller than his sisters- prefers the 'squirm on stomach or back' method.
"<C'mon Apollo, she's going to beat you if you don't get the led out>" He chuckles. His son stares up at him, giggling, blue eyes twinkling.
Glancing at the clock, he notes the time. "<C'mon kids. Your mom's gonna be home soon. Let's make sure you're all comfortable.>" He says, putting Harmony in to one of those half circle-pillows that help Babies sit up, as he starts to wrangle the other two.
No sooner does Siren mention this possibility than Delphi looking very disheveled and tired walks into the apartment loaded down with books and lab equiptment. She sees her kids and honey on the floor and instantly brightens up. "Hey there babies, Mommy is home. You were all good for daddy right?" She asks as she dumps her stuff on the table and walks briskly over to Siren patting babies heads as she passes them coming to Apollo last. While lifting up Apollo she sits down next to Siren and gives him a kiss. "How were they today?"
"The super really can't make people be less noisy. And we aren't really expecting to just blend in." Delphi sighs, leaning a bit against Siren and holding the squirming Apollo at bay. "He is a strong one, I'm not concerned so much with his slower pace. He'll get it done when he wants to." Delphi says switching to the topic of the kids.
"He is strong, isn't he." Siren chuckles. "<Not so strong that I can't still beat you at arm wrestling, though, so don't even think about it, little man.>" He switches between English and Japanese conversationally. When addressing his kids, he tries to use Japanese only, since Delphi uses English, and he'd like them to have a good grasp on both languages. "I just worry sometimes. He's still so much smaller than the girls." Aria crawls over, in that spasmodic way that Babies move, jerking her way forward, still only recently acquainted with her limbs.
"You never know maybe he'll get to be the biggest. And he has come a long way I'm just happy he is healthy." She says freeing a hand from Apollo to gently rub Aria on the back a little. "I'm happy they are all healthy. So have you feed them yet?" Delphi asks, still dealing with squirming Apollo.
He nods. "Aria and Harmony. Just finished with Harmony right before you got home, actually. Was going to get Apollo his bottle when you walked in. Which is probably why he's a hungry boy. <Isn't it? I'm sorry. Harmony was taking longer than normal today.>" He says, ruffling the fine black hair that thinly covers Apollo's head.
"<No problem.> I can feed him." She says getting up off the floor to sit on the couch to feed Apollo. "What time do you leave for work at?" Delphi asks not remember if Siren works tonight and trying to figue if she can sneak a shower sometime before he takes off.
"Tonight?" He picks up Aria, and checks the time again. "Not for a while. I've gotta be out by 5:30 to make call." he plays with Aria as he speaks, holding her in the air, and swaying slowly back and forth, causing her to giggle. Both Aria and Harmony have more hair than their brother, although it's the same black feathery stuff. "Whooooo...!" He says to the baby in the air. "Whoooaaah...!"
"Alright well once Apollo has been fed they should all be ready for a nap and I am taking a shower. I didn't manage one this morning and I feel gross. And then hopefully they'll still be sleeping long enough for me to do some homework before the whole vicious cycle starts all over again." Delphi kidds, as she kisses Apollo on the head and relaxing into the couch a little more. "Assuming I can motivate my self to get off this couch ever."
Siren looks up at her, giving her one of those looks. "... I could help with that you know. Motivating you. But then you'd need another shower. And I might not make work." He's teasing. But only half.
[glow=red,2,300]Damn good posting so far guys. I do, however need your attribute profiles applications soon. You both get one extra point for excellent posting, about everyday things and reality as well. Great job, keep it goin.[/glow]
"Babe I don't have the energy for that either, and you really can not miss work." Delphi says amused, she knows Siren is always up for that. "I'll get up as soon as Apollo is done, and I'll make it to the shower it is after the shower where I need to stay up and keep away from the sleeping babies." Delphi points out.
