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.

Calley
"She seems to have been over taken by lack of control Calley, she should have known that would be taken with hostility, She breaths, no blood, she feinted, but some peoples bodies do that when they have had enough pain." his own body had built up a resistance to simply giving in. He had the highest threshold for pain of anyone he knew. Even those that had faster healing didn't like pain, he had learned to have a loving relationship with it by the age of 14. Abyss stepped in between Calley and the new arrival. " I don't know her, more than I just met her." he spoke low to Calley and shook his head.
" What walkie talkie? Why does she have a walkie talkie? Who are you and how do you know either of them?" his other palm now rested over Calley's chest protectively he nudged him behind his broad back. He trusted no one from the start and this one carried a gun, he didn't know too many mutants that carried guns. He heard the sirens in the distance and shook his head, he had seen to much of flashing red and blue lately. " I suggest you two" nodding at the twins "take Egypt and go handle the badges before they get here. What do you think Syn? Give the new guy a test drive before we sign him on? Just let me know if they are actually sending numbers today."
Calley felt happy when Abyss moved him to be more protected. Happy because the big red guy didn't seem angry with him even though the evidence against him was building, and happy... just 'cause. Calley hadn't ever met this new guy before, but it didn't take a genius to figure out it was one of Hunter's employees. And not one of Hunter's employees who was monopolizing the world's IQ, either, what with the fact he'd called Calley by name. Nice of him. Considerate. Well thought-out. Calley's belief that Abyss wouldn't ever hurt him was solidifying, but Syn, the Egyptian God of Crazy, and the twins were entirely different matters. Entirely different matters that he'd rather not be around to, well, put to the test. He stood as tall as he could to whisper in Abyss' ear:
"Is it okay if I run now? I'll meet you back at the Sanctuary. My room is the one next to Isabel's. Umm, Kitra doesn't know about me, so could you not tell her? And I don't know that guy, so could you look after her?" He knew the twins would be able to hear him, and he had no clue what Syn and Crazy God could or couldn't hear, but the whisper wasn't for them. He just didn't want Kitra to hear. Hunter seemed to want her thinkin' that he was human, so that's the way it would be. But his cover at the Sanctuary was as a mutant, and he was going to run into Abyss and all the others there, eventually... So it would really be best to smooth over the little wrinkle this tiny incident may have put in their relationship. He had to work with these people, after all.
So the girl's name is Kitra and the boy is named Calley. Syn would make sure to remember those names, but who was the new guy? Her brother already asked the other obvious question of why Kitra has a walkie-talkie. Sirens in the background put a smile on her face. Stupid humans never learn.
Abyss suggested letting the twins and Horus take the cops in a way to test Horus. The idea was a good one as it would also give the twins something to do instead of stand around. "Alright, ladies if you two would like to put out the welcome mat for our incoming visitors." She then turned to Horus. "And if you would be so kind as to help them. I'm sure there will be plenty of mayhem. As for myself I'm more interested in Kitra and our latest arrival." Syn returned her gaze to the man and started walking towards him.

Chaos came to the scene, the woman who made those copy's of people fainted for some kind of reason but before she totally blacked out, she talked to her watch. Horus had no idea what that girl had done, and what was that on her wrist? Also Horus heard sirens, but what were they, Horus was new to this world and had now clue of what was happening. The sound of the sirens was familiar since he heard them sometimes when he still was inside, but he never had the chance to see what it was.
"Alright, ladies if you two would like to put out the welcome mat for our incoming visitors." Syn turned to Horus, "And if you would be so kind as to help them. I'm sure there will be plenty of mayhem. As for myself I'm more interested in Kitra and our latest arrival." "Hmmm, Scarab for time and Shkhin. Horus saw Syn walking to a new guy that entered the scene, why was he here? Horus let it pass his mind but he was pretty sure Syn and Abyss could handle this situation as for himself, he walked over to the twins with a smile on his face, since Horus was out he loved smiling.
"Then well, we together work, stop siren, have fun. Horus started laughing evil again and started tapping on the floor with his sword again, this time not 12 scarabs came out, but at least 100 scarabs came rushing out from the ground. Horus stood ready for whatever he would face. "Sirens time me to kill you, Hahahahahaha,"

((Okay Hunter told me I could do this so if it seems like im g modding...blame hunter, Sapphire is only a Kabal member and when she is called she has to go))
Darkness spread across the battle field as if it was vieled in a very thick smoke. Next to Kitara's unclonciess body appeared Sapphire from what it seemed to be the depths of hell. She lifted the girl off the ground with an exasperated sigh. She hated it when she was interupted, espically with that stupid watch.
"I could be getting drunk now if it wasnt for you." She mumbled to the girl with a grimace.
Then both her and Kitara dissapeared and the battle field cleared all that was left in the place of Kitara was a black pawprint and a empty bottle of rum.
Her first conscious thought was 'she hurt....terribly, but it had dulled enough for her to wake up.' Kitra could hear everyone's voices, though they were rather vague. She idly mused that she must be losing her mind, she thought she heard Derrick's voice....'but that wasn't possible...was it?'
She then felt herself being lifted off the ground and she opened her eyes in alarm, then wondered if she had opened her eyes at all. It was really really dark. Her eyes made out a figure of a women, 'she was the one that picked me up, I wonder why....'
"I could be getting drunk now if it wasn't for you." The women mumbled to Kitra with a grimace.
'Ah, I guess Hunter called in another Kabal member.' She smiled inwardly, 'So Derrick's voice was real too.' The next second Kitra wished she was still unconscious. She was lost amidst complete darkness and was scared witless.

Vibe heard the siren's several beats before they became audible to the others. A gleeful grin spread across her face.
"Alright, ladies if you two would like to put out the welcome mat for our incoming visitors."
>"It'll be our pleasure,"< the Twin terrors chorused.
"And if you would be so kind as to help them."
Just as quickly as the smirks appeared, they vanished and were replaced by pouts.
"We don't need his help," Amp protested.
However, it seemed they were ignored, as Syn turned her attention to a new interloper. The pair were still pouting when Horus made his way over to them, soon accompanied by more creepie crawlies.
>Just keep those things away from us,< Vibe grumbled silently.
They walked away from the gathering, toward the next street. As they rounded the corner, the sirens steadly approached from the opposite direction.
"Gimme a beat, sis. And keep your eye on the Orkin Man over there." Vibe nodded, her attention already focused on Horus warily. She began snapping her fingers. Amp moved to the exact center of the street, hands on her hips.
The first of the squad cars rounded the corners. Reflexively the drivers hit their brakes to avoid the petite figure blocking their way, a petite figure who was smirking devilishly as she clenched her fist, and then drove it downward into the ground. A roaring, low-pitched boom rocked the ground like an earthquake. The asphalt heaved upward like the crest of a tidal wave, taking the noisy metal transports with it, tossing them away as if they were confetti at a party. The many sirens took on sickly sounds as the cars landed on their sides and roofs.
Though the motion was unnecessary, Amp raised her arms and made an outward sweeping motion, as if she were conducting an orchestra. A high-pitched screech rose in pitch, climaxing in anything glass or plastic shattering into shards.
The shorter-haired twin's eyes practically glowed neon green, her lips stretched in almost child-like glee. Now this was a party!
Things got even more black that they were previously and before anyone knew it Kitra was gone. Someone's helping her immediatley thought Syn. She'll have to keep an eye out for Kitra she's interesting.
Now that the twins were having fun and keeping the annoying humans away it was time to find ot about the new guy. Syn circled around the man as to cut off his escape to his vehicle and then began walking towards him. "Well, it seems someone has pulled a trick from their sleeve and now you don't have to worry about Kitra." as she spoke she began using her mutation once again. "But I'm still very interested in yourslelf and how you know Kitra and Calley. Especially when Calley only just met Kitra today. Or so he said." The black and red haired girl was getting very close to Derrick. Syn glanced breifly to her brother to help her keep the man from running should he try it.
Derrick began to back up, away from Syn and towards Abyss. He’d been warned, and knew that staying too close to Syn would be a bad move. “I work with Kitra,” he explained as he moved closer to Abyss and further from Syn, “and Calley did work for the same company. I’ve seen him around, but we’ve never been formally introduced.”
He was now pretty much right next to Abyss, and so had run out of room. Unless he could talk his way out there could be trouble. “Now I don’t want any trouble, I just want to leave. If big red her would kindly step aside I’ll go and that’ll be that.”
Horus now could see the incoming sirens very clearly, it was something on wheels, he had never seen it before, but he recognized the sound, shame he had to fight them, he rather liked the appearance of those things that were coming to wards them.
As one came very close he saw the twins walking to there positions and making some sort of earthquake, it tossed the sirens thing away like it was nothing. "Trick Nice" Horus smiled
"My turn" 2 now incoming sirens stopped in front of them. Horus pointed his sword between the 2 of them and his little friends rushed over. "Aaaaaah" a devastating scream came from the siren, Horus hadn't seen there were 2 humans in both the sirens "
Filthy Humans!" Horus now knew that it really was his enemy, humans, he didn't like them at all. The humans that were in the car just got eaten alive, just like the copy that they destroyed earlier.
"Hahahahaha, work good" Horus laughed but it didn't lasted new sirens were approaching, Horus raised his hand to one of the sirens that were coming to them. He started whispering Shkhin, Shkhin, Shkhin every time it was louder he whispered it more and more times. You could hear the scream of the human, as he pulled over in front of them you could see what Horus had done to him, his skin was covered in bruises, and to hear the sound of the human it was surly hurting like hell, not long after that his skin was falling off of his body, it was a painful and not a quick death. Normally this would have taken longer since he liked to see his enemy suffer as much as possible, but since more and more were coming he decided to let it last a bit shorter.
"Hahaha, no thread" He looked over to the twins to see if they enjoyed the show.

Calley
Abyss Gave a quick nod to Calley's request, If one he said he was of the Sanctuary, then that was good enough for him, two if he knew Isabel, she probably knew what he could do, three, that meant he was registered with some sort of power and he could clear up any misunderstanding. With out a glance he was almost positive that Calley was gone, If syn had any questions he could always say, he must have disappeared with the other girl, who was now gone, her sketch book was gone with her, and Abyss didn't like that, it meant she still had a picture of him.
Thing's however were getting more interesting here. Abyss watched the man keep his distance from syn and move toward him, he must have some sort of information as well seeing as he was wary enough of his sister to opt being next to him. Abyss grabbed the man's arms and put the slightest of pressure on them. "first off I don't step aside for many, If you would like to leave in a manor that still allows you to drive, then it is as simple as answering her questions fully.Apparently whoever your boss is values her more than they value you." He then lifted the man off of the ground just in case that had something to do with Kitra's dis appearance."now I suppose it doesn't really matter if you want to your, going to talk, one way or another." Abyss grinned at his sister. He fully enjoyed making others fear him when they thought they could make demands of him, Particularly, when they were humans, he wasn't sure what made him think that he was a human. He just seemed to have the attitude of one.
Calley was running before Abyss' nod was even half-way complete. He saw the very start of his fellow employee's little... predicament, and it was enough for him. He didn't really feel bad about leaving the guy there--he'd blow his own cover if he tried to help. Also, he didn't know the guy. And really, as long as whatever the Order was about to do to him didn't happen right in front of Calley, he couldn't see himself caring later. The Scary Boss Man either would or wouldn't save the guy. If he was valuable, he'd get saved. If he wasn't... well, Hunter would probably have someone snipe him before he talked, or something. The chances of extended torture were pretty slim. Hunter liked his secrets.
Calley headed back to the Sanctuary, quite intent on keeping his own. The upcoming conversation, after all this was done... it didn't really worry him. Really, who pegged the kid with the squeaky toy for a spy? He'd thought it once, and he'd think it again: Lime green squeaky hedgehogs for the win!
((ooc: This post originally went as the second-to-last one.))
Abyss let loose the body and stared after the retreating snipper, He needed to find his stomach for climbing on roof tops and pole vaulting he could probably make it after the guy under the right conditions. He listened briefly as a car screeched away another block or two over. if Kaz were here he would be dead even while putting the petal all the way down. He let go of the body. and then bent and picked up the keys to the mans car. Nodding to his sister. " shall we?" He then realized how much of the red mist got on him and wiped off his face and then tossed the jacket in the back seat of the car.
Derrick knew right then and there that he was royally screwed. Abyss had him in a vice like grip that he couldn’t break if you gave him a week to do it. Syn was closing in and with her ability she could well make him talk. He was desperately trying to think of a way out when his head exploded.
His head jerked with the impact of the bullet, spraying Abyss with brain matter as the bullet exited the other side of his head. Derrick slumped lifeless in Abyss’s arms. Had anyone been looking up at the rooftops they would have spotted a figure dart back form the edge. Now Derrick could tell the Order nothing.
The man looked rather nervous as he was held by Abyss. Maybe they would get some answers out of him. That thought was brief as the man's head was turned into a red mist. "Well, that wasn't very nice." Syn looked up around the roof tops and windows. "Guess we'll have to get answers somewhere else."
Syn looked to the twins and Horus. "When you three are free then return to Sanctuary." The girl turned to her brother. "Shall we go?" With that they headed off back to Sanctuary.

(OOC: Sorry for the long post.
"When you three are free then return to Sanctuary."
Vibe grinned, and waved goodbye, like a child waving goodbye to Mommy at Daycare. Except her grin held the promise of getting into much more trouble than most children could conceive.
"Don't wait up," Amp called happily behind her, not turning around.
By that time those of the policemen that had survived both the asphalt surfing and Horus's skin disease had begun climbing out of their cars. They began to form the customary semi-circle, with guns trained on the trio of mutants before them. Amp turned to wink at her sister.
"Hey Vibe, how 'bout you play them your new tune? See what they think of it."
Even as Amp spoke, Vibe had begun tracing out a note on the forks in her pocket. Amp amplified the note just in case, since they had yet to figure out Vibe's range. Just barely audible, as if she were running her finger around the edge of a glass of water, was a high-pitched note. However instead of being painful, this sound was soothing, so soothing that the entire circle of officers visibly relaxed. Their faces took on a zombie-like lack of expression or focus.
"Empty the guns, and drop 'em," Amp ordered. As a group the cops obeyed, bullets and weapons clattering to the ground moments later. She grinned devilishly.
"Ahh! Now that's more like it. See? They like it Vibe." Amp walked directly up to the circle, and stood right in front of one of the officers, one who looked like he may have been a squad leader. She waved her hand in front of his face. He looked at her, but made no other action. The same held true of all of them. Vibe grinned and also approached. She moved over to one of the younger cops, a tall blonde kid who looked to be maybe twenty or so. Still tracing out the melody, she made a 'come here' motion with one of her fingers. Obediently the young man bent down to her height. Grinning widely, she rummaged through her purse. Pulling out two tubes of coral-colored lipstick, she tossed one at Amp. After liberally coating her own lips, Vibe planted a kiss directly on young cop's lips.
>Mmm hmm. Yeah, I like this song.< She giggled silently, and moved away, leaving the man leaning forward awkwardly. She repeated the kiss-and-go with all of the cops she considered good-looking or cute.
Amp, on the other hand, used the lipstick like a marker. Soon half of the force were sporting mustaches, clownish cheek patches, or their own coral-colored lips. Suddenly she turned to her sister, pure rougery twinkling in her eyes.
"Vibe, check this out. Hey fellas! I think its too hot today. Aren't you all feeling too hot in all those clothes?"
In unison, every officer nodded, and began taking off their garments. Most of them simply removed jackets and shirts, but quite a few also removed undershirts and pants. At one point Amp literally fell on the ground and began laughing hysterically, and Vibe covered her eyes, also laughing so hard that she nearly stopped her 'playing'. Apparently a couple of the officers had decided to go commando that day.
>Oh, that is just SOOO wrong, on SOO many levels!<
"Yeah, I think its time for a tactical retreat," Amp agreed. She got up off of the ground, and took a deep breath to concentrate. She focused for a few moments, building up sonic vibration beneath her. Once she got the force she wanted, she blasted them sideways. On either side of them, building collapsed into rubble, spilling forward and creating an effective blockade between them and the clothing-deprived squad. Once that was in place, Vibe stopped her 'melody' and the pair turned and ran in the opposite direction.
The girls had completly forgotten about Horus, and also were uncaring as to whether the sound also effected him or not.
Horus stood there, he saw some of the cops crawling out of the cars, the were surly holding on. The twins were up to something with sound, when he met them he knew they were two bad ass girls, so this could go two ways, or the would go play with them, or finish them off, either way Horus was done for today, he felt weaker, Mandain wanted to come back out. Horus turned around and saw Abyss with a dead man in his hands and covered in blood. Syn also turned around facing him and the twins, "When you three are free then return to Sanctuary." Horus nodded and walked out of the alley way. His first day out was fun, he met new people, was recruited in a group of mutants, and had his first taste of revenge on humans. looking back one more time he saw the twins playing with the cops, drawing stuff on their faces and letting them strip. "Bit childish" He walked away, a couple of blocks further away from the alley Horus felt that he was going down. He looked around to make sure nobody saw him, he strawled into another alley and blacked out. For how long he would lay here down on the floor he had no idea, but it sure was that Mandain would be the next to rise and take over.
