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.

Rebecca took her new key out of her sweater's pocket and looked at the door to her new room. She sighed heavily and entered the key into the lock, opening her door.
The room was empty but clearly had space and desks for two people; it would seem Rebecca might have a roommate in the future. The thought was intimidating, but exciting nonetheless. She was an only child, so living with someone else would be an interesting new challenge. Well, unless she was mean, in which case Rebecca's time in America would be considerably more challenging.
The room was empty, with windows letting light pour in. The walls were bare, which was something she would hope to fix when she had a better understanding of the rules. She left her door propped open with a window cracked to create a cross breeze with the fresh winter air. She opened her suitcase and looked at her clothes in neat little piles. Hame, sweet hame...

It was day upon which there was nothing to do. Gina didn't particularly care to go outside, nor did she want to work on her studies, hang out in her room, or do anything, really-- be she didn't want to do nothing, either, thus she did the only other thing that she could think to do. The petite gargoyle stalked the halls in search of open doors, for open doors meant that there was some sort of activity within, and that others were welcome to join. So far, Gina had peeked in on a video gaming session, gossiping, and a study group, none of which she cared for. Thus, she was still door-hopping. She'd walk through the entire boys' wing and was now in the girls', making the loop back towards her bedroom.
It was at that point in time that she spied one of many open doors that she'd come across upon that day, and she poked her head in. Who roomed there had slipped her mind, thus she didn't go parading in as if she owned the place. An unfamiliar girl with reddish-blonde hair was bent over a suitcase, pondering over its unpacked contents.
A new person!
Gina perked up slightly upon her finding, a small grin touching upon her lips. The young teen enjoyed playing the welcome wagon for new students, so she was always delighted to see them. Lest she freak the other girl out, though, by darting into the room, Gina opted for a more conservative rap upon the door frame.

Rebecca had found a dresser and was placing plain shirts in a drawer, saving nice tops and blouses for the closet. Besides clothes, she had a small collection of books, a notebook or two, make-up, a few personal belongings, and a laptop that had not even been turned off yet. She really did not "own" much, she was realizing throughout her relocation. She thought of small things she might pick up once (or if) she found a part-time job.
>> "Hello?"
A greeting from behind Rebecca seemed curious about the new owner of the room. She finished laying a shirt in the drawer and started to reply as she turned around. "Hello! Ah'm new herr! Mah name's--ah!"
She let out a small yelp accompanying a startled jump. She was not expecting her greeter to have grey skin, much less horns. There was a very short, awkward pause. Rebecca scolded herself; she was in a school of mutants! She was a mutant! How unfair for her to act like that to the poor girl!
Her cheeks burning, she smacked her hand upon her cheek. "Oh mah God, Ah'm sae sorra! Ah dinnae mean ta be rude! Ya surprised meh, but tha's no excuse to act like 'at!" Her words ran fifty words a second, dripping with embarrassment, and stopped like they hit a wall, which became another pause. She looked up from the ground to the girl, refusing to flinch at the appearance, realizing that besides the color, she was quite pretty. "Ah'm sorry. Ah'm Rebecca Grey. S'nice ta meet ya." She held her hand out, hoping the visitor would not just run off.

The girl turned and began to answer, but her greeting was quickly cut short by a muted yell.
>> "Hello! Ah'm new herr! Mah name's--ah!"
Gina also jumped, ducking back behind the door. The girl was unpacking, and could have been wielding a projectile of the heavy variety. Gina took cover to avoid getting pelted by a book, or something of the sort. And anyone who would have made the argument that no one would throw a book at a girl like Gina-- worser things had happened than that. There was a short, pregnant silence, and Gina dared to peek back around the doorway, this time only peering with one eye, and the top part of her head, exposed.
The new girl seemed incredibly embarrassed, if her blush was anything to go by. One hand had fallen to her cheek in awe.
>> "Oh mah God, Ah'm sae sorra! Ah dinnae mean ta be rude! Ya surprised meh, but tha's no excuse to act like 'at!"
Words shot out of her mouth at a mile a minute, before coming to an awkward pause. She seemed to be apologizing to the floor. Gina came to the realization that she probably wasn't going to get hit with a book, and casually eased into the doorway, exposing her entirety... if the new kid had a heart attack over her face, just wait until she caught sight of the rest of Gina. The young gargoyle slouched against the doorway. She wouldn't invite herself in.
>> "Ah'm sorry. Ah'm Rebecca Grey. S'nice ta meet ya."
Her gaze returned to Gina, and latched onto her hesitantly, and Gina smiled as she extended her hand out to Gina. The question was, was she just being polite, or did she really want to shake hands? Gina slinked into the bedroom cautiously, scanning the area for potential projectiles as she went, and soon found herself before the other girl. Rebecca Grey.
"Regina Schuyler," Gina reciprocated, accepting the handshake, "But everybody calls me Gina. Nice to meet you, Becca. Welcome to Xaiver's." Her tone was warm. It was to be assumed that Rebecca was new, because seasoned students of Xavier's didn't yelp at Gina. Not that Gina minded.

Becca. Rebecca smiled at Gina's readiness to call her by a nickname. At home, almost everybody called her Rebecca besides the girls on her football team. She would not mind at all if this would be more casual in The States; she liked the sound of her nicknames. "Thank ye, Gina. Ah ist got herr puckle minutes ago, actually." She shook the girl's hand, which felt tough, like leather. My, mutants were going to be intriguing!
She looked back at her suitcase and said, "Ah'm unpacking, but yoor marr than welcome tae sit doon." She gestured to a chair by the desk. She started hurrying a bit more with tossing clothes from the case to the drawer. "Once Ah'm dann, mebbe ye can shaw me th' kitchen? Ah'd love a snack." Despite eating on the way to the mansion, Rebecca's tummy was still complaining for more food. Not only that, but she had been so rude that she wanted to get to know Gina a bit. Regardless of what she was like on the outside, her voice was welcoming and Rebecca knew no one, so Gina was a good place to start setting her roots in a new home.

Yeah, nicknames were a win-or-lose kind of thing. People either took to them, or didn't care for them at all. Rebecca diddn't seem to mind, so Gina maintained that it was alright to call her "Becca"
>> "Thank ye, Gina. Ah ist got herr puckle minutes ago, actually. Ah'm unpacking, but yoor marr than welcome tae sit doon."
Gina liked how Rebecca spoke, but had more manners about her than to ask where Rebecca was from.
"I think that I will," Gina agreed, sitting on the unoccupied bed lightly, looking around the dormitory. The rooms were so bland when people were just moving in, so empty without someone already in the room.
>> "Once Ah'm dann, mebbe ye can shaw me th' kitchen? Ah'd love a snack."
"Of course," Gina agreed, grinning, "There's two places that you can get food-- a kitchenette, which is attached to the living room, and then the real kitchen. I'll show you both, just in-case."

Two kitchens? How big was this Mansion? Maybe there was more Gina could show her besides just food. If she was going to get used to this place, (as well as not get lost in what was looking like an expansive series of rooms and hallways, compared to her old home,) it would not hurt to have a guide. "Thenk ye! Sae hoo lang have ye lived harr?" Rebecca had no interest in sitting in awkward silence as she finished her task and curious about the girl. (Really, her main curiosity was what it felt like having horns, a tail, or wings, but those questions weren't proper to someone she just met... well, she assumed.)
Gina had chosen to sit on her bed, which was fine, since her suitcase was not taking up much space. She continued absent-mindedly shifting clothes from the case to her dresser and closets as she spoke. "Ah have tae admit, Ah'm a wee nervoos. I've ne'er lived awa' frae home, lit alone Scootlund."
She stopped at the end of her sentence, looking at the girl's reaction to the small confession. She then promptly looked at the hand she was holding in the air with two of her bras dangling off her fingers. She quickly hid them behind her back. "Sorra, that's sae improper."

>> "Thenk ye! Sae hoo lang have ye lived harr?"
"A year, as of this month," Gina replied, nodding her head, "It's totally surreal, though- doesn't feel like it's been a year at all. 'Time flies when you're having fun,' and all."
The gargoyle smiled faintly and reclined, using her hands to steady herself as she did so.
>> "Ah have tae admit, Ah'm a wee nervoos. I've ne'er lived awa' frae home, lit alone Scootlund."
Scotland? Wow, that is really far. Gina followed Becca with her gaze as she put away her clothes, politely agreeing, "I was pretty freaked out when I first came here, too. I came from California, and it was my first time living so far from home, too. Sometimes, I still miss Cali, particularly the nice weather, but New York grows on you after a while."
Gina had relayed this story without missing a beat, and only came to pause when Becca did. Becca's gaze went pointedly to her hand, and Gina's followed. Two bras were casually draped over her fingers. Gina didn't much care, but Becca freaked out, quickly tucking them behind her back.
>> "Sorra, that's sae improper."
Gina tried to suppress a chuckle, and covered her mouth with her hand, but the sound still escaped. Gina was really open about these sorts of things, particularly with a roommate. Bras and underwear had the tendency of occasionally not making it all the way into the hamper, it was simply a fact of living. But, not in Becca's case. Gina quieted the chuckle and attempted to disguise it with a cough.
"Excuse me," she said, still bearing a smile in her eyes, "No, it's alright. I've got a roommate, so I'm used to it."
Gina failed to mention that Agnes was the neater one, between the two of them, and that Gina was actually the one who tended to not always get her clothes all the way to the hamper.

>> "Excuse me. No, it's alright. I've got a roommate, so I'm used to it."
American seemed to have a more relaxed opinion toward things like this than her parents, that was sure. Chuckling nervously, Rebecca replied, "Sorra, Ah'm not used tae this sorta thing." She could not even imagine what it might be like living with whoever might become her new roommate. She would probably change in the closet for the first month, she thought with a sigh. She returned to unpacking her things, less worried about her underthings.
>> "A year, as of this month. It's totally surreal, though- doesn't feel like it's been a year at all. 'Time flies when you're having fun,' and all."
"Wow, a year? Stoat! Dae interestin' things happen herr aft?" She had to guess that a mutant school might be slightly more eventful than the small school she went to in Scotland.
>> "I was pretty freaked out when I first came here, too. I came from California, and it was my first time living so far from home, too. Sometimes, I still miss Cali, particularly the nice weather, but New York grows on you after a while."
"'At was th' first thing Ah noticed! It's certainly colder than mah winter." She put the last pairs of unmentionables in her drawer and deemed unpacking done for the moment. She pushed her suitcase aside and sat on the bed (at a respectful distance) next to Gina.
She looked at her hands folded on her lap thoughtfully. "Ah'm worried Ah'm gonnae miss home terribly. Or 'at folk willnae like me or hink Ah'm weird."
She looked up and realized she was putting too much of her worries on Gina, so she tried to smile instead. "Nevermin' 'at. Hoo about we gi some food?"

>> "Sorra, Ah'm not used tae this sorta thing."
Gina chuckles and shrugged in wordless understanding. So Becca wasn't as exposed to this sort of thing, but it was something you grew accustomed to when you had a roommate like Gina.
>> "Wow, a year? Stoat! Dae interestin' things happen herr aft?"
"Well, Xavier's is like a normal school," Gina began carefully, smiling, "But I would be lying if I said that interesting things didn't ever happen." Like that time the tiger-man had gotten onto campus. Or all of the holiday-oriented shenanigans in the city, "I mean, it is a school full of mutants..."
>> "'At was th' first thing Ah noticed! Its certainly colder than mah winter."
"The first thing I noticed was how big it was," Gina confessed, "I'm a small-town girl, so this place was like a whole other world."
>> "Ah'm worried Ah'm gonnae miss home terribly. Or 'at folk willnae like me or hink Ah'm weird."
Gina frowned faintly.
"Well yeah, you'll miss home... a lot, at first, then less later on," Gina agreed. They were just acquainted, and not to the point where Gina would hug her. She instead nudged Becca in the arm, as if to snag her attention, and she quipped, "I'm sure people will like you. And we're all a little weird here."
>> "Nevermin' 'at. Hoo about gi some food?"
"Let's," Gina agreed, getting to her feet, "I'll show you the kitchenette, first, then we can hit the real kitchen."
Gina began to slowly stroll towards the door, making sure that Becca was following.
"So, what do you do?" Gina inquired casually, "Or, are you one of those who doesn't like to talk about their mutation?"

>> "The first thing I noticed was how big it was. I'm a small-town girl, so this place was like a whole other world."
Rebecca nodded at the sentiment excitedly. "Ance Ah left th' airport, Ah noticed 'at, tae! Naethin' like mah town." She wondered if an American town would even compare to a Scottish town like Paisley.
>> "Well yeah, you'll miss home... a lot, at first, then less later on. I'm sure people will like you. And we're all a little weird here."
The sentiment was oddly comforting, accompanied by a reassuring nudge. As much as Scotland would stay in her heart, this Mansion was supposed to be a place of universal acceptance, and based on Gina's warm welcome, it was holding true to that. She smiled warmly, her mismatched eyes twinkling. "Ah suppose yoo're right. Thenk ye, Gina."
She propped herself off of the bed and followed Gina loyally as she was asked about her mutation. As they strolled through the halls, she explained. "Weel, Ah only jist learned abit it, but Ah did toy wi' it a wee bit 'afore Ah left Scootland. Ah guess Ah can control metals wi' th' magnetic field aroond them?" As she said, she had very little idea of how it worked, a matter she was hoping the school might help her with. She was unsure of how she felt about being a mutant, but was naturally curious about what this new gift could do. "If Ah try hard, Ah can see th' field aroond a metal."
With a question of her mutation asked, and the openness of Gina, maybe one small question would not hurt, and she had been wondering it since noticing Gina's wings. "Sae... can ye fly wi' those?" Rebecca tightened up after asking the potentially awkward question.

"That's really cool," Gina mused genuinely. Rebecca seemed offhand about the capability, but Gina was truly fascinated by her power, "You could get those metal marbles and throw them at things... or... shoot, I don't know. You could throw a lot of metal things."
But weren't those metal marbles made of steel? That wasn't magnetic. But, that was besides the point. Gina marched down the hall, only slightly ahead of Rebecca, but close enough that they could chat. They'd go to the kitchenette, first, and then the real kitchen.
>> "Sae... can ye fly wi' those?"
Gina let out a short laugh. She didn't mean to be rude, but... it was a funny question. Becca clammed up after the inquiry was made, which was what cut the chuckle short.
"Yes, I can," Gina replied. She stretched one wing ever-so slightly, and jerked her thumb at it as she explained, "Pretty well, too-- you ever seen bats fly? With all the quick maneuvers and such? I can fly like that. Come on."
She began to walk down the hall once more, and she led the new girl to the living room, first, to which the kitchenette was attatched. Gina turned to face Rebecca, standing at the wall that seperated the kitchenette and seating area, by the opening that fed out into the living room.
"So, this is the common room," Gina announced, holding out her arms to gesture to the room as a whole, "Lots of students come here to hang out, and occasionally study-" she dropped one hand, and gestured into the kitchenette, "This is the kitchenette, it has lots of snack-y foods."
Gina ducked into the kitchenette, and waited for Rebecca to follow before inquiring, "So what are you hungry for? I'll see if I can find it. If it isn't up here, it'll be down in the real kitchen."

>> "You could get those metal marbles and throw them at things... or... shoot, I don't know. You could throw a lot of metal things."
If there was one thing Rebecca noticed about Gina, it was her genuine zest and excitement for what seemed like everything. "Ah certainly plan on figurin' out jist whit Ah can flin' aroond wi' this power." With everything about her magnetism being new to her, she spent most of her plane ride concerned she might cause problems with the flight just by being there.
>> "Yes, I can. Pretty well, too-- you ever seen bats fly? With all the quick maneuvers and such? I can fly like that. Come on."
How exciting! Rebecca was unsure if Gina's wings could support the girl's weight, but apparently she was an agile, darting creature. Rebecca asked for her parents to get her one thing before she left Scotland; her new bracelets. Like any girl, she had always dreamed of flight, and while she could not lift herself with magnetism, she thought with wide enough bracelets bracing her arms she might be able to lift herself along with them. As of yet, she was not able to support her own weight, but hopefully with time and training, she could change that.
>> "So, this is the common room. Lots of students come here to hang out, and occasionally study. This is the kitchenette, it has lots of snack-y foods. So what are you hungry for? I'll see if I can find it. If it isn't up here, it'll be down in the real kitchen."
The trip to the kitchen was serving as an effective tour of the building. She looked around the common room. It seemed like a homey place to spend time with others, (once she met the others in question.) As for the food itself, she glanced around the tidy kitchenette, unsure of what would be in an American kitchen, so she chose a safe bet. "Mebbe jist a simple sandwich? Somethin' wi' meat. An' mebbe a tomatae? An' cheese." Okay, so maybe the girl had an idea of what she was looking for.

>> "Ah certainly plan on figurin' out jist whit Ah can flin' aroond wi' this power."
"They have classes for that," Gina said sagely, "Classes where you can test the limits of your power, or see what exactly it is that you can do-" the gargoyle shrugged, "-That could be something useful to look into."
Gina skimmed the counters of the kitchenette, seemingly baffled by its apparent cleanliness. How atypical. One of the staff must have been in here just recently to clean it up- either that, or some hungry guys had recently torn through and hadn't left anything for anyone else to eat.
>> "Mebbe jist a simple sandwich? Somethin' wi' meat. An' mebbe a tomatae? An' cheese."
"A sandwich with meat, tomato, and cheese," Gina reiterated. That sounded like more of a big-kitchen snack then a kitchenette snack. All that was up here was unhealthy sorts of foods, nothing that could constitute a real meal. Gina skipped over to the fridge anyways, and ducked her head in, just to be sure. There was enough snacks in there to feed an army, but no fixings for sandwiches.
"We're going to have to pay a visit to the big kitchen, for that order," Gina observed. She looked around the fridge for just a moment longer, to see if there was anything worth grabbing in there. She then peered into the freezer, with the explanation of, "Let me see if I can find something to tide us over until we get downstairs-- ooh!"
Taloned hands found a couple of Klondike bars. Such fortune! Gina pulled the pair of confections out, and flashed one at Rebecca.

>> "They have classes for that. Classes where you can test the limits of your power, or see what exactly it is that you can do-- That could be something useful to look into."
Rebecca nodded, remembering the conversations with her parents that led to her departing for Xavier's Sister School. She not only wanted to find a place where she could live with people who would understand her, but she was looking for a place where she could be taught to understand her mutation. Whatever was happening to her was part of her now, and she wanted to understand and have the same level of control over it as she would an arm or a leg.
After a quick scan around, it seemed Gina was right. This kitchenette served as a nice snack bar, with potato crisps and cookies in good supply, but real food was not there, or at least not in plain sight. She could easily see herself on one of the couches with a book and a bag of crisps studying. More and more, this place was starting to feel inviting.
>> "Want one?"
Rebecca turned to spot Gina offering her a treat she snagged from the freezer. "Ah! A choc ice! Why not?" She took the Klondike bar gladly. Eating ice cream before real food was not something she was accustomed to, but who was going to stop her? Maybe this was what it felt like to feel "independent:" ice cream before supper.
She took a bite into the chocolate shell to enjoy the sweet, creamy vanilla center. "Mmm, so good."
As she savored the joy of a cold treat, her eyes glanced over to Gina's tail. As she got more familiar with the girl, curiosity seemed less rude. "If ye dornt min' me askin', is it nice havin' a tail? Ah mean, can ye use it fur stuff?" It was hard to word her question correctly, because until that day, Rebecca had never expected to ask a question of that nature.
