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'm sorry your mutation is so difficult. Ya know...there's this lady at the school. Her name is Tricity. She's the Headmistress of the mansion and takes new recruits everyday." *He explained, remembering all the new residents who had moved into the mansion recently.* "She might be able to help you handle your mutation better. Or, I don't know, figure out how to supress it."

Vivica shook her head, looking at her feet once more. Living with other people? It was just a bad idea. Not only could her power react badly, but it would just make her long for it to go away more. She looked back into Dominick's eyes and smiled sadly.
"It's not a good idea. All I do when I'm around other's is hurt them . . . It's not something I like to do."
Vivica looked down at her hands which sat in her lap. To think that these small, pale hands with black nailpolish could acctually hurt someone.
*Dominic furrowed his eyebrows at her.* "Why not? It's not like you have to live there or anything. It's at least worth a shot, no? Living with a mutation where it's hard to touch people...believe me, I know how hard it is." *He put his fingertips together and then pulled apart, revealing the puppet-like strings.* "I can't control it sometimes, so I usually just don't touch other people. Tricity taught me how to better control it though and it's been helping me out a lot."
*His cell phone rang and he quickly answered it. It was a call from Mike and he was requesting that all X-Men return for a mission briefing. He complied and turned to the girl.* "Well, it was great meeting you. I'm sorry, but I have to run. HEY, JOEY!! Come on, we gotta roll. Hope to see you around some time." *Dominic flashed a smile toward her and grabbed his brother to quickly run to his car.*
Ruby and Jamal walked hand in hand through central park at night, both had changed into normal clothes. Ruby hadnt talked to emmy yet because that she was eating and then fell dead asleep, she figured it would be best not to disturb he elser sister for any reason, Jamal would have to wait for his answer that was all.
Jamal gently wrapped his arm around Ruby when he felt a gust of wind blow by them, making sure she was warm. He saw the fox girl shaking a bit and merely took off his windbreaker and wrapped it around Ruby.
Ruby smiled and leaned up against Jamal, "Thanks." She smiled, green eyes softening.
"Youre welcome red." He smiled at her, keeping his protective grip on her, he felt a little weary at the moment.
Ruby's ears twitched and she stiffened slightly, feeling her body charge with electricity. "Someone is here." Ruby said, turning around to see...

A few guys were walking behind them, each one had at least some form of blue on them. Jamal tightened his grip which made Ruby a bit more scared.
The guys behind them weren't paying attention, they were laughing to themselves.
"What?" Ruby asked. "what's wrong."
"Gang members." Jamal muttered. He pulled her off to the side which actually drew attention towards them.
The lead guy who was wearing the most blue, turned to them, his bandana tied around his head under a fitted cap. He stared at them and caught contact with Jamal, who kept the stare. Mutant or not, he wasn't the type to back down.
"Yeah?" he said when the guy didn't stop staring.
The guy laughed and he and his friends stopped. There were about six of them. "Did you just talk to me, little man?" he asked.
"Who the hell you callin' little?" Jamal was near the guy's height even though he was much younger.
"Don't start with me."
"I wasn't. You were the one all up in my grill." Jamal countered.
"I wasn't. I was in her grill." the guy smirked. A thin mustach covered his top lip. His friends laughed. The guy looked back at them, with obvious encouragement and rubbed his hands together, licking his lips. "What's good ma?"
Ruby, of course didn't answe him. Jamal was greatful. "Yo, leave her alone."
"Why should I?" the guy countered.
"Cuz she's my girl." Jamal said and it was greeted with their laughter.

((...wow...))
Ruby stuck her tongue out which only made the guys laugh.
"I told you to stay back, man."
"I'm mad you got yo' girl protecting you."
"She's not protecting me." Jamal grinned. "She's protectiing herself. " Suddenly a bench came galloping like a horse down the walk way, it reared and rammed itself into one of the guys. "I'm protecting me."
The guy smirked and pulled out a handgun. His friend followed suit.
"Oh!" Ruby gasped and clung to Jamal.
"He can't save you, baby." the lead guy said. "Come wit' me, ma. Be with a real man."
"I am!" Ruby insisted.
Jamal held his hands up and rings appeared around their guns making them twist and wriggle, some of them aiming at eachother. "Go ahead..shoot." Jamal said cooly.
The as the guns twisted they eventually wriggled out of the guys hands. The guys smirked, taking out switchblades from thier pockets. "Scared now?" The leader asked with a coy smile.
Jamal had taken his own switchblade from his pocket pointing it at him. "No are you?" He asked before the leader charged at him.
Both blades clashed as if they where swords in an epic swordfight of good versus evil. At on point Jamal's blade pressed against the leaders face causing him to scream out in pain. "AHH IT BURNS!"
Jamal looked at the blade and realized it was glowing red hot, but it wast from normal heat, it was electrical heat being generated by Ruby. He smiled at the fox girl before focussing his attention on the leader who now had a large burn mark on his face. "yo die kid!" He roared lunging at Jamal.
Ruby stood by not really paying attention to what was around her, merely trying to keep Jamals blade charged with electric energy. The other cronies stood by as well but it seemed more of they where waiting for a signal to attack.

And they got one all five guys rushing towards Ruby. She screamed. "Jamal!" as she curled up in a little sparking ball.
"Ruby!" Jamal said. Distraction was the key he screamed as a sharp pain shot into his arm. The guy had cut him. Jamal grabbed his arm in pain.
"Jamal!" Ruby said turning into a fox an darting out from under the guys. She leapt onto the leader's face and shocked him before running back so he couldn't hit her. "Are you alright?" she asked jamal.
The guys were coming up behind him, now that he was injured but ruby morphed back into human form and let the electricity surge through her body. "You've got a lot of nerve messing with mutants."
Jamal stood. It was giving him enough time to think...yeah...that would do it. Suddenly, several loud noises started up. Heavy metal trash cans were rolling down the path and barreled into the gang members.
Ruby felt Electricity going through her at a majorly increased rate and all at once she realesed it. All around them Everything threating in a 1 mile radius of them was getting majorly electricuted. Sparks fizzed from the gang members as they fell one by one to the ground, Ruby kept up this onslaught for at least 4 minutes before running out of Electricity entirely. She sighed, arms dropping weakly to her sides.
Ruby thought she go all of them and she hoped she did as she looked at Jamal's wound. The pup pulled out a green tyde dye bandana from her pocket and tied it around Jamal's arm, trying to stop the bleeding.
"Ruby could you kiss my bo bo to make it better?" Jamal asked in a childish voice.
Ruby grinned lewerdly at Jamal before gently kissing his wound. "All better?"
"All Better." Jamal grinned at her, smiling as she wrapped her arm around him. "My big strong sparkler what would I do with out you?"
"You would be very lost." Ruby smiled.
((tag for one of the gang members to try to attack again if you wish.))

((lol))
Jamal and Ruby kissed and while they did so the lead guy got up once more, his face badly burned. He held the knife ready for another sneak attack but Ruby sensed his presence and twitched her ears. Jamal caught on and the bench that had galloped by before did so once more slamming him into the wall.
They couple didn't break the kiss.
"We should probably go back to the mansion and get that fixed.." ruby said.
