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.

"See I am a mutant.... But I will have to put my hat on when i get out on the street though, my ears are a bit noticable."
>What the-?!<
" 'What the' what?" Vibe pointed, her expression shocked. Amp turned, and started. "Whoa!" The pair looked back to be sure, but yes, the fox pup was gone, and a small girl was in her place, sporting fox ears and tail. There was a momentary pause as they registered the shapeshifting act, then Amp burst into laughter.
"Oh boy, talk about ironic. So then, you understood everything we said back there, didn't you?"
>See, this is why I don't trust animals. You never know which ones are mutants.< But a smile was tugging on Vibe's mouth. She had to admire how such a young girl had still gone after a pair of jerks many times her size, fairly ferociously too. Her size at the time, that is.
Amp rolled her eyes. "So you're a shapeshifter, huh Half-pint? Nice trick. Don't mind her. She thinks it's cool too."
Ruby grinned at thier surprise, tail swishing back and forth. She then curled it around her body ears perking up immediatly as he looked at them.
"I'm a shape shifter and I can control Electricity." Ruby replied a nearby street lamp glowing before Ruby accidently provided to much power and it burst. Ruby's ears flattened a bit, twiddling her thumbs. "Sometimes I cant exactly do it very well."
Ruby smiled a little bit. "But I can build stuff like cleaning Robots, Spanish to english translators and a bunch of other stuff that hasnt been even tried or marketed by normal scientests. Im really good at it to! I wish I could prefect that thought to words translating machine though. Im still working on the voice....." Ruby stated, as if computing what she would do in her mind

"I'm a shape shifter and I can control Electricity. Sometimes I cant exactly do it very well."
"Ah, no worries Half-pint. It's only a problem if you get caught. Or if you're in a computer store...."
"But I can build stuff like cleaning Robots, Spanish to english translators and a bunch of other stuff that hasnt been even tried or marketed by normal scientests. Im really good at it to! I wish I could prefect that thought to words translating machine though. Im still working on the voice....."
"Thoughts to words? Now that would come in handy." Amp raised an eyebrow. "How old are you again? And what's your name?"
"Oh Im Ruby Lupin and I'm thirteen! I am three years younger than my second oldest sister and eight years younger than my oldest." Ruby replied tail curling around her body
Ruby smiled happily as she walked with them. She was glad she had made some new friends. Now she hoped that they would be her friends too.

"Oh Im Ruby Lupin and I'm thirteen! I am three years younger than my second oldest sister and eight years younger than my oldest."
"Ruby, huh? Nice name. Gotta love the jewels," Amp replied with a grin. "I'm Amp, this is Vibe. So you're only thirteen?" Normally the girls didn't care for kids, but Ruby seemed to be a decent kid, and she was smart. Amp had a weakness for fuzzy creatures anyway, but even Vibe had to admit that those ears and tail, and the power that went with them, were cool.
"So, despite the awesomeness, you know its not smart to be wandering 'round with those showing, right Half-pint?" Amp tickled Ruby's ears. "Especially considering the current idiocy of the general population. Ya got a hat, or you need a scarf?"
Vibe pulled one out of her pocket, and handed it over just in case; she tended to collect them and keep them around, just in case she got tired of her hairstyle. Which happened on a much more often basis than was healthy, at least in Amp's mind.
"Thanks but I have my own cover." Ruby's ears perked up a bit as she removed her red beanie from her pocket and placed it over her ears. She could still hear through it well so it was no big deal. She smiled at them, hidding her tail cleverly in her pants leg.
Ruby smiled. "I live in the mansion with my big sister, she has got powers kinda like mine. But my oldest sister lives in an apartment downtown with a robot Monkey that Daddy made for her and I repaired it when it broke."

"Thanks but I have my own cover."
>Cute, but stylish. I like.< Vibe nodded in approval of the girl's topper. >I bet you'd look real cute in a beret, especially with those ears.<
Amp translated the statement out loud for Ruby as the trio continued on out of the park. Amp noticed a hot dog and taco vendor on the corner. She motioned toward it. "Ya hungry Half-pint?"
The twins ordered veggie wraps and diet sprite, and waited to see what Ruby wanted.
"I live in the mansion with my big sister, she has got powers kinda like mine. But my oldest sister lives in an apartment downtown with a robot Monkey that Daddy made for her and I repaired it when it broke."
Vibe scrunched up her face in distaste, and Amp snorted. "The Mansion? You mean Xavier's place? Why does that not surprise me?" She added sarcastically, "So then, you know the Xdweebs, huh? Bummer."
While the twins liked the girl, it was obvious they had no love for her 'housemates'.
Vibe scrunched up her face in distaste, and Amp snorted. "The Mansion? You mean Xavier's place? Why does that not surprise me?" She added sarcastically, "So then, you know the Xdweebs, huh? Bummer."
Ruby's ears perked up a bit at that as she ordered her hot dog, scrounging up some money from her pocket, paying for her own. It was a small hot dog with cheese on it.
She munched on it, trying not to get her tail to sway back and forth.
"X Dweebs? You mean the X men? They are nice...well most of them anyways. My big sister is one of them and she is really strong, I want to be as strong as her someday." Ruby stated in a slightly longing tone. "I just have to get bigger thats all."

"X Dweebs? You mean the X men? They are nice...well most of them anyways. My big sister is one of them and she is really strong, I want to be as strong as her someday. I just have to get bigger thats all."
"She is? How... interesting..."
>Wonder which one she was? My bet's on Leash Law,< Vibe remarked. Amp nodded slightly, taking a bite of her wrap. >Think we should tell her we met her big sis?< Amp gave her sister a look that said, 'Don't think so' as plain as day.
"Bigger's not always better, Half-pint. But we're sure you'll be plenty strong. Hopefully you'll have more sense though. No offense kid, but that group your sister's in doesn't rank high on our list of smart people. They're fighting a losing battle, ya know. Humans will never accept us as equals."
Had Ruby's sister been with her, the girls might have felt like a rematch, but Ruby's personality seemed much more tolerable than her sister's. Still, that didn't keep the sarcasm out of Amp's voice as she spoke. Vibe rolled her eyes as agreement.
Ruby listened to Amp, taking a small bite out of her hot dog. She squeaked her sneakers together. She knew that humans didnt often accept mutants but then again, her father did. She brightened up immediatly.
"My Daddy like mutants! He married Mom and she is part husky and can shoot Ice out of her hands!" Ruby exclaimed, looking at both of them. "See! Some humans like us. So Emmy and the x men arent always loosing the battle. Maybe if some humans were more like my dad it would be alot easier."

"My Daddy like mutants! He married Mom and she is part husky and can shoot Ice out of her hands! See! Some humans like us. So Emmy and the x men arent always loosing the battle. Maybe if some humans were more like my dad it would be alot easier."
Amp snorted. "Your dad's one in a million kid, I'm sure. And maybe your sis and the X-scouts win a battle here or there, but what's the point? Humans, most of 'em, can't stand us, and mutants, most of 'em, can't stand humans. So why stick yourself in the middle and get pounded by both sides?"
Ruby's ears flattened a bit in her hat. She knew that also her sisters fight seemed like a never ending one, but she trusted emmy. She had to trust emmy, she always believed that what her big sister was doing was right....but that didnt mean she couldnt worry about her.
"I know.....I do worry about Emmy alot though. A few weeks ago after her big race some church of Humanity guys kidnapped her and tortured her. All because she was a mutant." Ruby replied, ears still flat. "She is to reckless for her own good sometimes and as much as I admire that part of her I am always worried that something bad will happen to her and she will be taken away from me again...that I will be alone again."
Ruby perked up a bit, tail curling around her leg withing the confines of her pants. "But I do have hope and thats what I give her and that goes farther than me trying to discourage her from doing something she loves to do."

She is to reckless for her own good sometimes and as much as I admire that part of her I am always worried that something bad will happen to her and she will be taken away from me again...that I will be alone again."
Both girls' eyes narrowed at the mention of that group. They'd heard of them, and of their 'work'. Amp shook her head.
"And your sister still wants to be equal with creeps like that? If they tried that with my sister they wouldn't be going back home, if I could help it. At the very least they would never hear again," she muttered. Vibe scoffed.
>I vote for option one. Then their hearing wouldn't be a problem anymore, would it?<
Amp gave Ruby a curious look. "'Alone again'? What, did your sister abandon you before?" If that was the case, Ruby's sister had just lowered herself even further in the Twins opinion. You didn't abandon your sister. Ever.
"But I do have hope and thats what I give her and that goes farther than me trying to discourage her from doing something she loves to do."
The girls exchanged a resigned glance. "Yeah," Amp remarked, "we can see stubournness runs in the family. And optimism, apparently..."
With an in-sync shrug, the redheads concentrated on finishing their wraps.
"'Alone again'? What, did your sister abandon you before?"
Ruby shook her head furiously at that. Her big sister would never abandon her she always came through for her. She glanced at the girls slight fury in her eyes that they would think Em would ever do that.
"No Emmy didnt leave me alone! Master Fusionist took me away and Emmy tried to save me but she couldnt. She was only six, she couldnt beat Fusionist that way he almost killed her when she was protecting me!" Ruby burst out. She then realized she had said to much and her ears flattened a bit again.
She never really got mad unless it was about her family or friends. She was a well mannered mutant, more so than her siblings who would rather kill someone before allowing them time to apologize.
She then heard the bit about stubborness. "Im not that stubborn....Optimistic yes. Stubborn no so much" Ruby replied finishing her hotdog.
She then looked at Amp and Vibe choosing her words carefully. "Have you two ever been seperated before? I mean like really seperated where you couldnt talk to one another?"

"No Emmy didnt leave me alone! Master Fusionist took me away and Emmy tried to save me but she couldnt. She was only six, she couldnt beat Fusionist that way he almost killed her when she was protecting me!"
That little outburst proved to the Twins that 'Emmy' was at least a proper sister, even if she didn't rate as much else in their minds. Plus, if she was the same one they were thinking she was, they actually felt a twinge of pity for this Fusionist character.
"Im not that stubborn....Optimistic yes. Stubborn no so much"
"Sure ya are Half-pint," Amp replied with a giggle, and dumped her trash.
"Have you two ever been seperated before? I mean like really seperated where you couldnt talk to one another?"
That took the girls by surprise. They looked at each other, then at Ruby. "Yeah. Why?" Her answer was a bit gruffer than it should have been. But separation was a subject that the Twins avoided whenever possible. It was an uneasy point with them.
