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.

>> "Ah! A choc ice! Why not?... Mmm, so good."
Gina unsheathed the icecream novelty and began to eat it readily, gesturing to Rebecca that they should carry-on, so that they could get her some real food to compliment her Klondike Bar. Gina walked slowly, though, so that they could talk and enjoy their snacks at a liesurely pace.
>> "If ye dornt min' me askin', is it nice havin' a tail? Ah mean, can ye use it fur stuff?"
Gina didn't mind inquiries from fellow mutants, because she knew that their questions were always well-intended and out of intellectual curiosity, and nothing... less than favorable? There was no judgemental bend to questions, just a desire to know. Gina finished her bite and swallowed before answering, developing a contemplative look.
"Sometimes it comes in handy," Gina admitted, "I can pick stuff up with it and all, but I wouldn't say that it's nice having a tail. It gets in the way a lot, also-" Gina gestured for Rebecca to come closer, and as she did, Gina forced one of her wings aside and back, lifting at the back of her shirt expertly. It seemed to be the move of a contortionist, but the flexibility seemed well-practiced on Gina's part. As she lifted her shirt faintly, she exposed a series of snaps and such that were holding the pants in-place, snaps which would otherwise be invisible unless she'd pointed them out, "I have to modify clothes for the tail, and the wings, too. It makes clothes shopping quite tedious."
She dropped her shirt again, and smiled, "Though, I must confess, it's nice to have a third hand."
Whilst she'd been speaking and showing off her tailoring prowess, Gina had curled her tail around her legs. At its tip, the "fingers" clasped the icecream. Gina chuckled at her sleight of hand, and picked the Klondike bar up in a more natural fashion. She didn't want to make too much of a spectacle of herself in front of the new kid.

>> "Sometimes it comes in handy. I can pick stuff up with it and all, but I wouldn't say that it's nice having a tail. It gets in the way a lot, also I have to modify clothes for the tail, and the wings, too. It makes clothes shopping quite tedious."
Gina certainly had no issues with shyness, lifting the back of her shirt to display her tailoring work to compensate for her wings and tail. Rebecca had a hard time picturing a life where small things like clothes had to be meticulously handled in favor of a mutation.
>> "Though, I must confess, it's nice to have a third hand."
Watching the gargoyle swap the ice cream from her hand to the tail and back. She laughed, wiping some cream from the corner of her mouth. "Yoo're silly, Gina." Rebecca rested her free hand at the base of her back where a hypothetical tail would be. "It might be a complication, but Ah like yer tail."
Thinking of the tail, as well as the grey skin and wings and horns, Rebecca had to wonder what it was like for a mutation of that degree to manifest. "Were ye born lookin' like ye do now, ur did it come after like mine?" Did some mutants manifest their powers at birth? Maybe she was even a late bloomer with her own mutation. Gina seemed slightly younger than her, after all. "An' hoo old are ye, anyway?"

>> "Yoo're silly, Gina. It might be a complication, but Ah like yer tail."
Said tail adopted a delighted curl, and said owner of the tail grinned. That was the first time that anyone had ever said that they liked her tail, and Gina, being the sucker for compliments that she was, was absolutely enthralled to hear that someone liked her tail.
"Aw, thanks Rebecca," Gina said, still grinning. Fancy that, someone who thought her tail was cool. Of course, being complimented on her mutation made Gina more ready and willing to answer any other questions that were thrown her way. And, as it would seem, there were more questions to be asked.
>> "Were ye born lookin' like ye do now, ur did it come after like mine? An' hoo old are ye, anyway?"
Gina munched pensively on her Klondike Bar before answering.
"Mmm... neither," Gina mused, "Things have been gradually arising since I was a baby... I started turning grey when I was six months old, got my tail around that time, too, got my wings a bit before that, but I couldn't fly until I was about... eight? Horns didn't come up until nine or ten..."
It was hard to say. Gina had been evolving for the entirety of her life, so it was difficult to say when certain things had happened, and when others ended. Hell, with all of the changes she'd encountered over the years, who would be able to say that she was fully through with growing into her mutation? There could still be more to come... Gina was speculatively silent for a few moments before she realized that she'd been asked another question, much more normative than growing into a mutation-- how old was she?
"I'm fifteen," Gina replied, "I'll be sixteen in April."

"Really? A progressively developin' mutation? They dae 'at?" It was Rebecca's assumption that a mutation sort of just happened. The idea of a change over time was certainly interesting. Maybe her mutation would change or grow over time. What could she do besides move metal with magnetism? She chuckled, "Mebbe one day, Ah'll get metal skin ur somethin!"
For all she knew about mutations, maybe she'd end up becoming a werewolf or a living diamond. It was not like she understood the rules, if there were any.
>> "I'm fifteen. I'll be sixteen in April."
Rebecca had guessed right, more or less. "Sorta young, huh?" She teased. It did not matter to her. Her team back home was made up of girls her age and younger. "Ah'm eighteen. Ah'll be nineteen on Januar second." Her birthday was fast approaching, now that she thought about it.

>> "Really? A progressively developin' mutation? They dae 'at? Mebbe one day, Ah'll get metal skin ur somethin!"
"I guess," Gina chuckled, at the inquiry about a mutation that developed over time. A majority of the kids at Xavier's came into their mutations in their teen years, and very few for born into them. Gina was something of a rare breed, for she wasn't wholly herself the day she was born, nor was she a human girl one day and a gargoyle girl the next. She was walking proof that there was variation even amongst mutants.
"Metal skin would be pretty awesome," Gina agreed, as the two of them descended the stairs towards the first floor. They were almost to the main kitchen, and the student traffic was heavier downstairs. Gina stopped only long enough to exchange passing greetings. She was about done with her Klondike Bar, and was still giving a tour, so didn't stop anywhere for very long.
>> "Sorta young, huh? Ah'm eighteen. Ah'll be nineteen on Januar second."
"Sort of," Gina agreed, smiling, "Wow, your birthday's coming up fast. Happy Almost Birthday."
Had they been any closer of friends, and had Rebecca come to Xavier's any sooner, there was a strong chance that Gina would have dones something for Rebecca's birthday. But, they'd only just met and the notice was too short to do much of anything. She'd have to settle for a premature birthday-sandwich.
The two girls arrived in the main kitchen, and with a proud flourish, Gina presented it to Rebecca, "This is where the magic happens. The kitchen. It's open all of the time, even though they make meals here, too."

>> "Metal skin would be pretty awesome."
The concept was definitely interesting. She would probably be so strong! And pretty much invulnerable. When it came to real world application however, problems began to arise. "What sort ay job woulds Ah hae wi' metal skin? Ah'd probably hae tae be a superhero! Hoo stoatin woulds 'at be?" Rebecca did not know much about superheroes in actuality, but she used to have a friend who read comics all the time and would fangirl out around Rebecca, who never minded. The stories sounded so exciting! What a thrill it would be to actually go around saving people with your powers!
>> "Wow, your birthday's coming up fast. Happy Almost Birthday."
Rebecca had not thought about her birthday up until now. Her primary concern was her upcoming first Christmas away from home. There was an empty feeling in her stomach realizing her birthday would be away from family too. Why did she not think to wait a week or two before moving? "Thanks!" She smiled, wanting to be polite.
>> "This is where the magic happens. The kitchen. It's open all of the time, even though they make meals here, too."
The kitchen deserved the grand introduction Gina gave it. It was what one had to expect a kitchen that fed an entire Mansion and School would look like. "This is splendid. Ah will definitely be cookin' here." If there was one thing her mother had taught her back home, it was how to cook. Not just dishes from the UK, of course. (The culinary hotspot of the world, it was not.) "Mebbe Ah'll cook some spaghetti an' meatballs tomorra," she thought aloud to herself.
Realizing they were now in a place with a surplus of metals, maybe it was her turn to show off her mutation as Gina had already shared in the hallway. She focused on the room, trying to locate large collections of metal. Soon, the magnetic fields revealed themselves to her eyes. She saw plenty of activity coming from one drawer, which she assumed was the utensil drawer.
She located the refrigerator and opened it up, searching for deli meats, cheese and tomatoes. As she did that, she focused on the metal knob on the utensil drawer and pulled at it with the magnetic field, opening it. The drawer was behind her, and she could not identify the shape of the metal, simply the field, so she could not identify which was a knife. Instead, she simply lifted seven utensils in the air, assuming the odds would be in her favor. "I've got th' sandwich stuff, coulds ye grab bread an' a knife if there's one in th' bunch."

>> "What sort ay job woulds Ah hae wi' metal skin? Ah'd probably hae tae be a superhero! Hoo stoatin woulds 'at be?"
"That would be very stoatin," Gina agreed, adopting Rebecca's own terminology with a chuckle. Gina wasn't too sure what stoatin meant, but she had a feeling that it meant something to the persuasion of "awesome". Hopefully. Gina expanded upon her agreement by confessing, "Yes, if my mutation were anything more than looks, believe me, I'd be a superhero. Unless I had to wear a costume."
And when Gina said "costume", she meant spandex and a cape. That wouldn't happen in a million years, even if someone had paid her.
>> "This is splendid. Ah will definitely be cookin' here. Mebbe Ah'll cook some spaghetti an' meatballs tomorra."
"Do you like to cook?" Gina inquired, still smiling. She made a mental note that, if she was so inclined, perhaps the little gargoyle could conveniently turn-up in the kitchen tomorrow. And, if Rebecca was the sort to cook as a hobby, she'd be a very useful friend to have, since Gina didn't really cook. Gina paused as a couple of the drawers began to rattle, her eyebrows leaping up inquiringly. The drawer opened itself, and out floated seven miscellaneous utensils. That's right, Rebecca had that magnetism-thing going for her. But why on Earth she'd need a knife, four spoons, and two forks for the meal was beyond Gina.
>> "I've got th' sandwich stuff, coulds ye grab bread an' a knife if there's one in th' bunch."
Gina went to the floating utensils and plucked the lone knife out of the air, before setting it on the counter. Without missing a beat, she then went to the bread box and pulled out the loaf, which was contained in a plastic bag, before returning to Rebecca, and setting that on the counter as well.

>> "That would be very stoatin. Yes, if my mutation were anything more than looks, believe me, I'd be a superhero. Unless I had to wear a costume."
Rebecca realized "stoatin" was most likely a Scottish colloquialism, and was flattered by Gina playing along with her anyway. "Ye wouldnae want tae wear a costume? Isnae 'at some of th' fun?" Rebecca would love to have a costume designed just for her. Maybe something green or pink? Would a skirt be less practical than pants? Hopefully it would not have to be too revealing. "Ah mean, superheroes are jist sci-fi anyway, but wouldae it be fun if they were real?"
>> "Do you like to cook?"
Rebecca felt one of the utensils moving out of place, assuming that was Gina's doing. One of them must have been a knife thankfully, and she lowered the rest back into their places. "Yeah, mah parents always thought it best fer a lassie to be able to cook. It's proper." When she was eventually encouraged to date, a good meal was an easily utilizable tool in winning over a man.
Rebecca had gathered deli turkey, ham, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. Placing the collection on the table next to the bread, she began assembling her sandwich, slicing the tomato thinly. "Ah'd be more than happy to cook fer ye if ye'd like."

"I think a gargoyle would look quite silly in a costume," Gina said matter-of-factly, smiling placidly. Sure, superheroes were just sci-fi, but gargoyles were only fantasy, right? And there was the X-Men, who Gina considered to essentially be superheroes, "And there's always the X's."
>> "Yeah, mah parents always thought it best fer a lassie to be able to cook. It's proper."
Proper. Gina's tail twitched with mild humor. She cooked because it was proper? Adorable. And, likely true. But, Gina couldn't cook very well at all. This was an obvious disadvantage, in the grand scheme of things. Gina watched carefully as Rebecca's sandwich began to take shape. Sandwiches were among the few things that Gina could actually put together
>> "Ah'd be more than happy to cook fer ye if ye'd like."
"Cook for me?" Gina echoed incredulously, grinning. Dang, Rebecca read her like a book. There wasn't any sport in trying to get food out of people if they volunteered to make food for you. Gina shook her head adamently, "I couldn't possibly-- I mean, if you happen to make food and happen to offer me some, I won't say no, but I couldn't possibly ask you to make food just for me. That's what they've got a cafeteria for."

>> "I think a gargoyle would look quite silly in a costume. And there's always the X's."
Rebecca disagreed with the idea that Gina could not pull off a superhero costume; in fact, a costume would probably be tailored more fittingly for her wings and tail. The second part of the sentence confused her though. "Who are th' Xes? Some sort of costumed police?" Maybe she jumped the gun assuming there were no superheroes.
>> "Cook for me? I couldn't possibly-- I mean, if you happen to make food and happen to offer me some, I won't say no, but I couldn't possibly ask you to make food just for me. That's what they've got a cafeteria for."
Gina was going around in circles wanting to accept food but not directly asking. Rebecca smiled, slicing two sandwiches into diagonal halves. "Pish. Ah am happy tae cook fer someone who Ah think, well," she fought through embarrassment to finish her sentence, "ye know, will be mah friend?"
Rebecca hoped the assumption that Gina would be her friend would not be too desperate. She slid one sandwich to Gina and took a slice for herself. "There ye go!" She took a bite and immediately felt assured that a sandwich was the right choice for her craving.
With a snack filling her stomach, Rebecca was still curious about the Mansion. "Kealey said there was a library. Ah woulds fancy a trip if ye wouldnae mind." Gina did not seem like she would oppose playing tour guide to Rebecca hopefully.

>> "Who are th' Xes? Some sort of costumed police?"
"Costumed police with mutations," Gina confirmed, bobbing her head and grinning, "What would traditionally be referred to as superheros, I think-" Gina shrugged, her tail flicking absently as she explained, "They're based out of Xavier's, but... it's all kind-of hush-hush."
She shrugged casually.
>> "Pish. Ah am happy tae cook fer someone who Ah think, well, ye know, will be mah friend?... There ye go!"
Gina smiled back and nodded, "Of course I'll be your friend!"
She nearly added on, particularly if it meant getting fed. But that was heartless-- friendship came first, and then getting fed was an added bonus. Gina was fast friends with virtually everyone anyways. She just liked people. She accepted the sandwich triangle graciously and with a softspoken thanks, before the gargoyle took a bite.
"Ah, this sandwich is wonderful," she complimented, "Bon apetit."
Gina munched contentedly, whilst Rebecca spoke.
>> "Kealey said there was a library. Ah woulds fancy a trip if ye wouldnae mind."
"Miss Kealey's the librarian," Gina agreed, "I'd be happy to accompany you."

>> "Costumed police with mutations. What would traditionally be referred to as superheros, I think- They're based out of Xavier's, but... it's all kind-of hush-hush."
Real life superheroes? And of all the places they could operate out of, it would end up being her new school! She had heard of a possible team of heroes in Scotland once, but she dismissed it as a joke. How known were these Xes by the public? Her heart was racing with the idea of protecting the city behind a mask! (Yes! If she was going to fight in costume, she would definitely want a mask.)
>> "Of course I'll be your friend! Ah, this sandwich is wonderful. Bon apetit."
Rebecca's smile was seemingly permanent. She had been in New York for less than a day and she had her first real friend. And she had wings and a tail! She was certainly getting the full mutant experience. She took another bite of her sandwich. "Nae bad, if Ah say so maself!" She kept half a sandwich in her hand and sorted her supplies back into the fridge, dismissing the knife magnetically into a nearby sink.
>> "Miss Kealey's the librarian. I'd be happy to accompany you."
With one triangular sandwich safely in her tummy, Rebecca grabbed the rest of her sandwich and winked. "Lead th' way, Gina!"
Back through the halls, allowing the more experienced student to blaze the trail, Rebecca decided to take advantage of her curiosity and Gina's knowledge. "Sae these Xes... Wha makes them Xes? Is there ay class? Ur an age requirement?" To be a superhero, was there a license one had to get or did it just take some training and spandex?

>> "Nae bad, if Ah say so maself!"
Gina munched on her sandwich as Rebecca singlehandedly took care of tidying up. The knife bobbed its way to the sink, sandwich fixings were returne to the fridge. Gina stood by and did an excellent job at supervising. It wasn't that Gina wouldn't have helped, it was just that Rebecca seemed to have everything handled before Gina could make the offer. Gina polished off her sandwich triangle around the same time that Rebecca finished her own.
>> "Lead th' way, Gina!"
"Okay," Gina agreed, leading the way with a bounce in her step. The route from the kitchen to the library was an uneventful one, so Gina didn't spend too much time describing things in the halls, except for occasionally pointing out a room in which she had a class.
>> "Sae these Xes... Wha makes them Xes? Is there ay class? Ur an age requirement?"
"I don't really know," Gina admitted, her tail flicking pensively, "I know that there are... trainees for the X-Men. But I don't know how you get to be one. Never looked into it. The trainees seem close to our age." So, to summarize, Gina didn't know much of anything about the X-men. Age requirements, or any such thing like that, "A good person to ask would be the Headmistress, she'd be able to point you in the right direction."

The headmistress sounded like a logical choice, but Rebecca had heard that the headmistress was traveling. The Scot shrugged it off; Gina has helped as much as she could, but it was clear her knowledge of the Xes was limited and she did not want to get annoying. The longer she remained at the mansion, the more information she expected to find.
The closer they got to the library, the more excited Rebecca became. "Dae ye like tae read? Whit dae ye read?" Not many of Rebecca's old friends were really "readers," so Rebecca was curious if Gina might be familiar with the library personally. "Ah like tae read fiction an' poetry. Ah even," she hesitated for a second, not sure if she was sounding self-centered, "write mah own poetry sometimes..."

Gina navigated the maze-like halls expertly, reflecting upon when she first came to the Mansion, how she'd so easily become lost in the halls. Fortunately enough, Gina had become better at navigation since then, and knew the halls like the back of her hand, now. It still took some focus to navigate the halls, though, for one could get lost with ease if they didn't concentrate.
>> "Dae ye like tae read? Whit dae ye read? Ah like tae read fiction an' poetry. Ah even write mah own poetry sometimes..."
"I love to read," Gina confessed, "Mostly fiction, occasionally poetry, as well... I don't have the attention span for any long books... not much of a writer, either."
Gina smiled and chuckled.
"What sorts of poetry do you like?" Gina inquired, "Reading and writing."
