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.

Kitra hoped that no cops would be involved. As the short haired redhead laughed and said that they didn't care about this area, she was relieved.
"I could use someone with your talents. You see, I'm the leader of a powerful group but we are low in numbers and you seem like the type who could work with us to show those weak humans that times are changing."
Kitra's eyebrows raised, 'it sounds like she's recruiting, and she's the leader for '''powerful group'''!' She groaned inwardly, 'Just who we didn't need to run into, another mutant group.' Her thoughts went in a completely different direction then. 'Perhaps I can learn something about them.'
Kitra's attention was turned to the twins, 'Them first, as Syn is occupied. She stood and looked at the twins. "Hi, I'm Kitra. What are your...." She was cut off by an extremely high pitched sound and grunted and stumbled backwards, dropping her sketchpad and pencil to cover her ears. She noted through her ears ringing that her sketchpad had landed in front of the twins and....she rolled her eyes inwardly.....it had to land open on their sketches... 'Oh da**. This will not end well.'
Horus was still standing in front of Syn, one eye on her, the other on the rest of the mutants in this area. The woman was still sketching, the boy still with the Man thing something, and the twins were still at the car. A sound was causing windows to burst out, people were covering there ears, but Horus was just patign attention to Syn, the rest was faded away in the background
"I could use someone with your talents. You see, I'm the leader of a powerful group but we are low in numbers and you seem like the type who could work with us to show those weak humans that times are changing."
Was Syn just recruiting him, or up to something else. Horus didn't care about it, times were changing, and with this group, he could let mankind pay for what they did to him, what made him bitter, mad, sad, revenge was all that suited him, mankind would bow again for Horus, not because he was worshiped, but because they feared him. Horus was starting to give a broad smile to Syn.
"I Honored to mankind destroy help you" The sentence wasn't making much sense as he thought it over, but he hoped she understood him. Horus was weakening by the second. He hadn't had a lot time left till he would pass out and Mandain would be in control again, but Horus wouldn't let Mandain out for to long, he loved the outside world, humans that don't know what plague would be unleashed upon them. The world would change, if they would be ready or not.
"I join you, for now me leave, where meet we again?" Horus was sad he had to leave Syn just because his "big friend" Mandain would soon come out.

"Hi, I'm Kitra. What are your....
Vibe grinned as the girl flinched back and dropped her sketchpad. Quick as a flash she reached down and snatched it up, then danced back away from Kitra, like a little girl who'd found her big sister's diary.
>Well, well, look what I found. Let's see what you're hiding in here.< Though her words were silent, her smug expression spoke volumes. She began flipping through the pages. Even though it was still dark, and she couldn't see very well, she could see enough to make out general shapes. >Awww, look Amp! We have a secret admirer,< she taunted.
Bored with Syn and Horus, Amp stopped her echolocating, and opened her eyes. She went to her sister's side and made a show of looking at the sketches.
"Well! We're flattered! And look Abyss, she has one of you too." Amp kept an eye out to see how Kitra reacted, and to see if they could have fun with her instead, since Horus was preoccupied now.

Calley
Calley was still fidgeting, waiting for Abyss' response (and really hoping it didn't involve pain), when his ears tried to explode. Or implode. Or maybe just plode. The point of this was: Calley was currently clapping his hands over his ears like he was trying to crush an insect that lived in the middle of his brain. He turned away from Abyss, and glared at Grumpy. He didn't glare at Wonderful--she was too Wonderful. But Grumpy... Grumpy got some serious glareage.
"Hey, knock it off! Some of us like our eardrums!" Showing that he knew who was causing the racket probably wasn't wise, since really... there was no reason he should know that little tidbit. You know what else wasn't wise? Letting your eardrums get ruptured by bored twins.
And they were picking on his big Sis. Calley glared some more. Then he stomped over, aimed a kick at Grumpy’s shin, and made an attempt to snatch Kitra’s notebook back. “Bad Grumpy!” He admonished, with a great air of seriousness. “Bad Wonderful!”
"Thats fine Kid, no pressure from me, though if there is someone pushing you around and you so happened to be a mutant you let me know and I will show them a mutant to fear." He had heard of instances where some became ashamed of what they were because of the humans around them, he would gladly take care of any scum that messed with this shy kid, it would also explain some of the kids other attributes. With in moments the boy was covering his ears and running off. He wouldn't have figured out what happened except that a lot of windows were missing from houses.
"Hey, knock it off! Some of us like our eardrums!"
Abyss realized something after that sentence walked over and took a glance at the sketch book they had taken. Calley was calling them by nicknames and treating them like acquaintances. " you two know this kid from somewhere?" He didn't peg him as some one the ladies would hang out with.
Kitra groaned as one of the twins snatched her sketchbook and started poking fun. Her eyes widened in dismay as Calley tried to retrieve her sketchbook then shook her head. 'Can this get any better?' She thought in exasperation. She smirked, 'they were going to mess with her now eh? Well, I'll mess with them right back.'
Kitra's smirk became a huge grin, 'I wonder how they would like to see copies of themselves....albiet rough copies but still...' As she was feeling a bit better as she recovered quickly, 'cause she hadn't had anything in being for a few minutes...
She chuckled, "Well, how do you ladies like seeing double?" With those words and with a frown of concentration, rough and sketchy look-a-likes appeared of the twins, Syn, Mandain/Horus, and Abyss. To make matters more confusing, she had each one appear next to their respective real life person. She hadn't gotten to drawing Calley yet...she would though. Kitra had a smug expression on her face, much like the twins had when they nabbed her sketchbook. She now folded her hands over her torso and waited for their reaction...
A smile spread across Syn's face when Horus agreed to join her and aid her and The Order. By having an ancient egyptian god on their side things could definatley become more interesting. The girl stopped her pheremones to see if his agreement was genuine or if she would have to control him again. "I'm very happy to hear that Horus. You'll get your chance to do some damage I promise you."
Perhaps it was her concentration on Horus that initially blinded her but she noticed a strange look alike of Horus/Mandain standing next to him. Turning to her side she saw one of herself. This raised and eyebrow. Syn looked back at the others to see more strange copies of her brother and the twins. ok, I know those three couldn't have done this. It must be one of those other two but which one?
Deciding not to wait she called out. "Which one of you is causing these fakes to appear?"

"Hey, knock it off! Some of us like our eardrums! Bad Grumpy! Bad Wonderful!”
The fact that the kid was four or five inches taller than her meant that Vibe could easily dodge the kick and the grab for the sketchbook. Amp snickered.
"Pfft! Please. What do we look like? The seven dwarfs?." She rolled her eyes.
"You two know this kid from somewhere?"
Vibe gave Abyss an insulted look, to which Amp added, "With the way he's acting, if we did, you think we'd admit it?"
Suddenly Vibe jumped. >What the-? Amp!<
"What? What-??" Amp turned as saw... herself.... sort of....
The Twins turned and found themselves staring at sketchy doubles of themselves, Abyss, Syn and Horus. There was even another bat clinging the knockoff's hair.
"Nice parlor trick," Amp hissed slightly. "But we've already got the Twin thing wrapped. We suggest you make these cheap knock off disappear, before we do it ourselves."
Vibe still had ahold of Kitra's sketchpad. She backed away slightly. She had no idea what the girl had done, but the doubles looked identical to the ones in the pad. If this girl could make her drawings come to life, then maybe the pad would need to go instead.

Calley
((ooc: This post originally before Amp/Vibe's.))
Abyss looked freaked out for a moment, angry and then as if he finally looked around he saw others. For a moment he was ready to go crazy, there was a copy of him and he didn't summon it, he didn't like it at all. He looked to the only one that was possibly responsible. He unleashed Jupiter. " How do you like my version, he is angry and less patient then me, get this filth out of my face." Jupiter stood looking at the girl as if the girl had just attacked him, something most didn't get a chance to justify. if she didn't abide his will she would regret and soon. Abyss didn't care for this copy and Jupiter was all to happy to cause sadistic damage to any that happened to give him the opportunity to be off the leash.
Abyss wasn't sure what had offended him so deeply about this but it did.
Calley may or may not have been planning to do something stupid, like tackle Grumpy. He wasn't sure himself. 'Cause suddenly, all he could think about was the fact that having twins of twins was just wrong.
"Kitra," he said, backing slightly away from his Sis and the others, and a little towards Abyss. The big red guy's words earlier, about how if someone was pushing him around, Abyss would help him... He was going to remember those for awhile. "That's kind of creepy." It was only when he got closer to the big red guy that he turned to actually look at him. What he saw looked like a bad photocopy of the mutant. "Gah-!" He skittered around the thing warily, working himself over to Abyss' side. The real Abyss' side. Well, the side of one of them. There was another one, looking at Kitra like it was about to pummel her. Calley stood next to the other Abyss, looking a little like a startled deer. He'd known that Kitra could make weapons from her sketches. People... that was different. That was a little scary. If she'd had more time to make the sketches, how real would they look? How long could they last for? Calley's world was built around learning where everything and everyone was, and exactly what they were doing. Information was his security blanket. He really really did not did not like the idea of Kitra being able to arbitrarily insert new people onto the scene. New people who looked liked people he already had accounted for. It was as unsettling to him as having Hunter suddenly clap him on the shoulder and say 'You're doing a good job, Caleb. Let's take that collar off' would be. "Umm, I don't like this." He took a little step behind Abyss, and further from Kitra.
Hunter had been watching the little encounter on the camera on Calley’s necklace. Things had been going well enough, but Kitra’s double stunt suddenly had everyone focused on her. While he was uncertain of the twins’ powers or the man claiming to be a god, he knew that both Abyss and Syn could be very dangerous people.
Kitra was out of her depth and unless she could save herself quickly he’d intervene. The girl had a lot of promise, but if she got killed now then he’d never get her to utilise it. Unless Kitra could placate them in the next minute he’d pull some strings and send in law enforcement.

Syn started smiling, "I'm very happy to hear that Horus. You'll get your chance to do some damage I promise you."
Horus was glad he could finally unleash his full power sometime. All this time he was locked up, but now that he has been given the chance to slay those who put him away, he wouldn't hold back. Horus nodded his head and smiled back.
As Horus was just about to say something he saw that something was going on with the rest of the group that gathered here. The woman her sketchbook was in the hands of those twins, something wasn't right, this could go wrong, and it did. Out of nowhere from almost everybody appeared a copy. " I double seeing?" Horus wasn't under the pheromones any more, but he still knew what he had done, he had joined the order. As he looked at Syn he saw 2 of her. As Horus was looking with his left eye to Syn, the other one had to be the fake.
Horus put his right hand on his left upper arm, and there it was again. The sword was back in the hands of the god. He looked at the copy of him, smiled, and slashed with his sword a couple of times in the "body" of the copy, with his other hand he commanded the scarabs to rise again, the surface ruptured again and the scarabs were now charging ahead to the copy of Syn. In no time the scarabs entered the body of the copy and ate it from the inside out, there was nothing left, when that was done the scarabs safely returned back under the surface.
"I don't hope you mind, you copy gone" Horus started doing his evil laugh again and the expression on his face and eye's were evil, he tasted the evil again, and it tasted good.
Syn spoke, "Which one of you is causing these fakes to appear?"
Kitra's eyes narrowed slightly and was about to speak when she was cut short by Abyss.
" How do you like my version, he is angry and less patient then me, get this filth out of my face."
Abyss' clone, not hers, stood looking at the girl as if the girl had just attacked him. Kitra swallowed in fright, 'this guy looked like he would maim without question. Um....um..um...ah.' With that 'ah', she looked directly at Abyss and bowed as did her clone of Abyss, then it disappeared.
One of the twins jumped. "What? What-??" The other twin turned as saw... herself.... sort of...."Nice parlor trick,"she hissed slightly. "But we've already got the Twin thing wrapped. We suggest you make these cheap knock off disappear, before we do it ourselves." The twin that had jumped was now backing away and she still had ahold of Kitra's sketchpad.
Kitra looked at the Twins wearily now, she was just trying to have a bit of fun. Like they had tried on her....'Maybe this was a bit much? She sighed, "My apologies, twins. And to you as well Abyss and Syn. I was just trying to have a bit of fun back." Kitra smiled sadly as the copies of the twins disappeared.
"Kitra," Calley was backing away now and sounded really scared.
Kitra was horrified. She hadn't meant to scare Calley....or anyone else for that matter. She felt even worse when he said that this was creepy and hid behind Abyss after freaking out a bit at Abyss' copy before it disappeared.
Before she could say anything to Syn and apologize to her as well, Mandain/Horus spoke again.
" I double seeing?" With those words Mandain/Horus put his hand over his left arm and his sword appeared in it. As soon as it was in his hands, he slashed and sliced his copy.
Kitra grunted and bit her lip hard to stop her screams of pain, then hit the ground hard as scarabs tore into the being of Syn. She wasn't able to vanish it before it was completely eaten by the scarabs. Her vision was wavering horribly and she felt like needles were stabbed in every organ of her body.... 'As a matter of fact,' she thought in a haze of pain, 'why hadn't she passed out? Very good question Kit, very, very good question.. She couldn't see, nor barely hear or move, but she was still conscious.
" "I don't hope you mind, you copy gone" Mandain/Horus said before laughing....
Kitra barely heard him, and she swore she heard him laugh....and not very nicely either. She then realized that she was a sitting duck. 'Hunter! Maybe he could help...somehow.' Kitra screamed soundlessly in her mind at her worthless body to move her arm to press the little button on the watch. It did so, but agonizingly slow. Finally one of her finger's finally pressed it and she was able to squeak out, "Help." Then, she finally blacked out.
Abyss popped out one of his own clones and threatened the girl who was sticking next to the boy. Apparently she could produce copies of things. Neat trick Syn thought. Just then Horus's scarabs flowed up from the ground again and ate the copy of Syn to her gratification but it seemed to have an affect on the girl. It caused her discomfort and she seemed to be weakened by the loss of her creation.
She continued to watch as the girl pressed something on her watch and called for help before blacking out.
"Abyss! Don't let the boy get away but don't hurt him either. Amp! Check the girl to see if she's ok and let me know if anyone is responding to her call.

Calley
Abyss had definately meant to scare her into getting the fake clone out of his face and away from him but he didn't mean for her to be on the ground in pain. He recalled Jupiter and went to the girl checking her pulse. The other clones were gone or dead or whatever the abominations did when ever they expired. He wasn't too fond of Egypt over there with his brashness, his sister on the other hand had recruited him and seemed pleased enough. Perhaps, though, if the girl hadn't offered up the opportunity to cause her indirect pain.
She talked into her watch, don't trust people who talk into their watches. He looked to Calley's wrist to see if their was another watch on his wrist. " don't run and I won't have to chase you, don't resist and I won't have to subdue you, is your sister ok, does that happen when her creations get messed up?" he put a palm on his back getting ready to toss him on his shoulder and hold him there if need be.
Calley was getting very, very good at standing very, very still when people said things like "don't run and I won't have to chase you, don't resist and I won't have to subdue you". In fact, he was pretty sure that nothing could now move him from his current spot except Abyss' express permission. Or an earthquake.
"Err, I don't really know what happens when her creations get all sliced and diced and bug-eaten," Calley replied, deciding that now would be an excellent time to not play with his lime green squeaky hedgehog. Unfortunately, his hand had different ideas, and an unhappy squee-! soon came from his pocket. "She's not actually my sister. We sort of only met this morning, actually, and she kinda adopted me. I only knew about the whole drawings-make-weapons thing. That thing she did, right now..." He trailed off. "Umm, is she okay? 'Cause she seemed nice before the whole making-copies-of-people thing. Who was she talking to, when she asked for help?" He looked every bit as confused as confused could be. Yep, that was him--completely confused. Didn't know a thing. "Do one of you know her?"

The copies disappeared, and both redheads huffed in irritation. >Smart choice,< Vibe grumbled. Both girls made a 'serves you right' sneer when Kitra collapsed, seemingly from the damage Horus did to his and Syn's dopplegangers.
"Amp! Check the girl to see if she's ok and let me know if anyone is responding to her call."
True to character, Amp crossed her arms in a pout. "Who cares if she's okay? It's her fault she made those stupid copies in the first place." Still she complied, after rolling her eyes yet again, and knelt next to the prone girl. "She's still breathing," Amp reported dutifully, though from her tone it was obvious that she was disappointed.
As for Syn's other request, Amp deftly slipped off the fancy watch and tossed it to Vibe. The longer-haired twin in turn slipped it onto her own arm, pushing it up further on her arm since it was too big for her. From there both girls would feel any incoming vibrations if someone tried to contact her.
With a slightly disgusted sigh, Vibe reached out dropped the sketchpad onto the unconscious Kitra. In sync girls walked over to the car, crossed their arms, and began tapping their feet in irritation. As far as they were concerned both Kitra had spoiled their fun by passing out. And Calley was just.... annoying....
Hunter started things moving when he saw Kitra go down. Getting hold of his NYPD contacts he got the police headed towards the area, but there was someone he needed to get there first. Derrick got the call and was moving the moment Hunter said Kitra’s name. Hunter finished the details as he got in the car.
Putting the phone away Derrick checked his gun in its concealed holster before speeding off. Three minutes later he arrived. Getting out he quickly took in the scene before him. Large red man, designated Abyss, super strength and copies, threat level high if provoked. Pair of twins, designation unknown, powers unknown, threat level assumed high until proven otherwise. Red and black haired girl, designation Syn, super strength and ability to influence, threat level extremely high when close. Man with sword, designation unknown, powers unknown, threat level assumed high until proven otherwise. Scrawny teenager, designation Calley, powers unknown, threat level minimal.
This did not look good. He had to find someway to get Calley and Kitra out, preferably before the approaching police arrived. Judging by the sound of the sirens he had about four minutes to do that. “What happened?” he asked calmly, “is Kitra alright? I heard her through the watch walkie-talkie I got her. Calley, what happened?”
He was remaining at distance as he so as not to threaten anyone. Not only would it make him seem none threatening, but give him more time to use his gun if he had to. On top of that it kept him away from Syn, someone who he would like to keep as far from as possible, as he didn’t have the resistance that Hunter did. But with cops on the way incase this failed Hunter was willing to take the risk to see if Derrick could get Kitra and Calley out.
