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.

>>"I haven't been back to ze Mansion in a while... The Fortune Teller's Shop. Zere are a couple of us withs no where else to go. I sought about staying at the apartment... in case zey come back."
Sveta nodded. "I did too. But it just feels creepy to stay dere alone. It is a mess, and I don't know what happened there, and... well. No one else is there." she glanced at him.
They arrived back to the Mansion, safe and sound. Sveta parked the car and poked at DocProf gently to wake him up. "We're home."
Looking at Jude, she smiled a bit.
"Are you okay staying here, or do you want me to take you back to the shop?"
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Under no circumstances did he want Svetlana to come to Future Sight. He had only been honest about where he was living because he didn't want to lie to her if he could help it. Jude rubbed his eyes. Ugh. More thinking.
"Ah, I sink I can stay. Be easier just to sleep for a while instead of waiting and more driving." It had been a long evening and though morning wasn't quite here yet, he wasn't up for an all nighter. Not after getting pummeled moose style.
"Don't know if I'll keep zis power, zough. I'm.. pretty tired." Under normal circumstances he could hold on to one through the night. Nothing about tonight had been normal.
DocProf murmured and grumbled and finally dragged himself out of the back seat in order to lumber off toward wherever he slept. Where did he sleep?
"So is zis goodnight zen?" Jude wanted to hold her, but the risk of double boosting a house full of kids loomed over him.
>>"Ah, I sink I can stay. Be easier just to sleep for a while instead of waiting and more driving. Don't know if I'll keep zis power, zough. I'm.. pretty tired... So is zis goodnight zen?"
DocProf walked away, and Sveta thanked him again although she was not entirely sure he heard. Maybe he just pretended not to hear it. That was so like him. She thanked him anyway. She knew they were not off the hook, not by far; but he was too tired to ask any more questions tonight.
"All right." she nodded to Jude. She didn't mind him staying for the night. He would be closer. Not close enough, but at least in the same building...
She nodded again, and bit her lip. This, once again, sucked. If she had her choice she would have slept in his bed, snuggling. But he was too tired to keep his hold on the healing power, and the last thing she wanted was a city-wide boost. She sighed and reached out to hold his hand. She was wearing gloves.
"This is not going to be easy, is it..."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Proximity made it worse, but touch was the absolute hardest. Gloves or no gloves, his power felt sort of like an invisible wind. When he let it free it was no burden at all, but holding on to it weighed like a weight. Right now, he was tired even without the extra burden. As much as he wanted to snuggle up in bed with her, he also wanted to relax. Completely relax. That was selfish of him, but even more selfish would be to ignore the residents of the Mansion in favor of some cuddles.
Jude had to look at her hand for a longer than was customary time before he decided he could handle it. He took her hand in his and brought it to his lips just under his bruised nose. "All ze best sings in life take work."
He had activated his power, grown up and tried to get good enough control to be able to stay around Svetlana. He knew he wasn't quite there yet, but someday he would be.
"Someday, I'll take you to an island where you can boost to your heart's delight." He grinned, but it was obvious that he was exhausted as they walked hand-in-hand into the Mansion.
He kissed her hand, and she smiled. He looked beaten up and exhausted. But he was still holding on to his power, and he was holding her hand.
Why can't I just mess around with a guy who's plain human? That would make my life so much easier...
>>"Someday, I'll take you to an island where you can boost to your heart's delight."
"I am looking forward to that" she giggled, walking hand in hand with him. One day. They could have an island. Or, if not an island, at least a bed. She was still smiling.
"Good night, Jude."
