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.

Raina rubbed her head. "Yeah I think, nothing hurt but my ego." she blushed looking down at the skateboard. "You three seem in a rush, but I'm a little lost... " she admitted. "I don't know how I got in this park or how I get out! I'm trying to get back to this school i'm staying at..." she stopped looking embaressed. "I'm Sorry, I'm a real space kadet today!" she laughed extending her hand after dusting herself off. "I'm raina, are you hurt?"

The twins were having too much fun to notice the other girl until it was too late. They crashed into each other, landing both girls on their rears.
>"Hey! Watch it!"< they chorused, though only one aloud. The pair glared at her, their rude nature coming through. They ignored her as they got to their feet, and brushed themselves off.
"You three seem in a rush, but I'm a little lost...I don't know how I got in this park or how I get out! I'm trying to get back to this school i'm staying at..."
"Maybe you should try walker's ed, and learn how to watch where you're going instead," Amp snapped. As one they crossed their arms.

Raina looked shocked at the girl's comments and turned a little red. She wasn't used to youth being so rude as back home in her country it was unheard of for someone younger to speak to anyone older in that way. But it wasn't the first time she had a reaction like that. SO she stood a little taller, a little braver, and tossed her long red hair back over her shoulder to appear less intimidated by the remarks. "I suppose you're right" she smiled. "Maybe then I'd stop bumping into people!" she would be damned if she couldn;t use the accident as an excuse to find her way back. "I'm staying at this place." she said to Zelek, unfurling a scrap photo of the school for gifted youngsters. "I was there earlier but I decided to get some air. Probably a bad idea since I've barley been in NewYork a few days....." she trailed off sincerely hoping he could help her.

Alithana was taking a stroll when she saw a group of girls collide together. She walked over to see if anyone needed assistance. "Is everyone ok over here? I saw you all get banged up. So I thought I'd come over and check on you all."

As yet another girl approached, the girls frowned.
>Great. First Klutzilla, now a girl scout.<
Vibe rolled her eyes, and the twins moved away from the group, leaning up against the wall. Amp stared sullenly at the two newcomers, while Vibe began fiddling with her nails, tapping her foot irritably.
>Hope this doesn't spoil our fun.< Vibe's mental voice sounded pouty, like a spoiled child. Amp's expression mirrored her sister's voice.

Ali listened as the guy introduced everyone. The twins didn't seem to happy that someone told their names. They had an attitude about them and it was showing in their facial expressions as well as their movements.
"I'm not much of a skater but I wouldn't mind hanging out with some new people." She looked at each of them to see what their responses were. "What school are you looking for?"

"The school for gifted youngsters... though I suppose I'm not a youngester" laughed Raina. "Thanks for your help Zelek, I really appreciate it. I'm glad to know you live there too, it's hard meeting people in a place where people are constantly coming and going." She tossed her red hair over her shoulders and her brown eyes flashed with excitement. "Are you all from NY?" she asked trying to include the twins as well.

"Gifted youngsters?"
>Sounds like a fancy name for mutants, to me.<
Amp and Vibe exchanged a thoughtful glance. The pair lived for fun, or rather what they considered fun. And a school full of mutants sounded like loads of fun. They smiled, though if anyone paid attention, they'd be able to guess the smiles hid a pair of devious minds.
“I could help you find the school if you like Raina, we were just going to do some skating, if you care to join us, you could.”
"I'm not much of a skater but I wouldn't mind hanging out with some new people."
"Yeah, that sounds... fun..." Amp said aloud, still grinning. "Why don't you lead the way, Z."
In answer to Raine, they shook their heads. "Nah. We've only been here for a year or so," Amp replied. She put on a mask of politeness. "And you?"

Ali watched with amazement as a bike appeared in front of her piece by piece. It even had a paint job that seemed to go with her mutation, but how could any of them know. She thought it best to keep that bit quiet for now.
"That's amazing! How'd you do that and why is it painted that way? Not that I'm complaining." She smiled at Zelek before directing herself to Raina.
"No I'm not from NY either. I've only been here a few days."

Raina watched in amazement as Zelek formed the bike, "That was amazing" she exlcaimed sincerely. "You're a mutant that's so cool!" Raina turned to answer Amp and Vibe. "Only a day now..." she was a little embaressed as the whole group was younger than her but seemed much more able. In her tribe you couldn't even be trained in your field and furthur till you grew another year- there were huge difference from 17 to 21, but here Raina felt like one of the group. It was a new, interesting, and challening feeling.
"I'm from up North where it snows all the time" Joked Raina with Ali. "Waaay up North."
She turned back to Zelek. "Well, I think I can use my own mutation to get me back." she nodded. "So long as you lead the way."
She turned to Amp and Vibe. "Your names make me think of music, I use music to control my mutation..." and with that Raina took a breath and let out a quiet haunting note that split into harmonies as if sung by 3 people. The voice hung in the air lingering. It was strange, it was her water call. slowly and percicely water began to form around Raina's feet like puddles and then to freeze. The note changed in fluctuation and became a little louder. Raina's feet were now on the ice as if they themselves were skates. She stopped singing and a tinge of blue formed in the bottom of her hair but quickly faded to a green and back to red.
"I can call the water out of the air and freeze it. That's my mutation. I can't do it unless i'm chanting. It's not out of control or anything, but I'm not very good with it." she admitted. "This is about the coolest and only real trick I know. It really helped me out back home though if I ever thanks to being an idiot- got stuck on an ice flow. I'd sing up more ice and get back. I can skate back on these... but i'll have to keep singing for them to work."
Her voice was beautiful, but so strange as if it were something from another time, another place. "I'm ready when you are!"
The twins watched Ali's reaction to Zelek's creation.
>Not a flinch. Think she's a mutant too?<
"Possible," Amp mumbled, low enough for only her sister to hear. "Either that, or she's been living here longer than she says."
They listened quietly, trying to hide their growing impatience. They listened to Raina explain her mutation, but didn't really pay attention until she started to chant. Amp could feel the vibrations, the strength in her voice, and Vibe could tell her voice was true. Even they had to admit she had a beautiful voice, though Vibe was slightly envious.
Finally Vibe, sighed silently, and flipped her hair back. Hands on her hips she whined, >Can we go now?< Amp shrugged, also impatient to get going.

"Thanks" Blushed raina "Too bad it does that every time!" she joked. "ready and willing when you are!" she waited for him to take the lead and she would follow.

At first Ali felt a little uncomfortable as Zelek made his statement about her liking fire. Maybe he really did read her mind. That thought was kicked out of her head as he pointed to her tattoos.
"Yeah I just think flames are awesome," she said smiling.
Then Raina gave a brief demo of her ability. She had a beautiful voice but when Ali saw the water and ice form she took a step back. Ali took a moment to gather herself as she was thrown off a bit. She had expected Raina to have some kind of vocal power but not one that summoned water and made it freeze.
"You have a very pretty voice Raina."
She then directed herself to everyone as they were getting ready to head off.
Amp and Vibe followed the others, bringing up the rear. They skated close together, 'talking' in low tones. Given their nature, plotting is actually a better word. Every now and then Amp would stifle a giggle, or clear her throat. When any of the other glanced in their direction they would simply smile, failing sadly at trying to look innocent.
Xavier's Mansion was in for an interesting afternoon.....
