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.

The cheesecake was awesome! Jezebel was already starting on the cheesecake, but not before she managed to snatch up her diet Pepsi (after all, she needed to watch her figure) and took a long sip from that. She was very much enjoying herself here, along with Syn. Maybe she could “convince” Lilith to let Penelope stay here for awhile. Besides, it was obvious that the woman didn’t care to have her around very much. She just never voiced it.
This though, this place was a haven! Jezebel would like it very much…
>> “I’m guessing Penelope likes humans then? It’s understandable for one so young to be so naive in regards to humans. Although I wonder if the girls she mentioned that were picking on her were humans.”
Jezebel snickered.
She knew exactly how sweet and innocent Penelope was. The girl was naïve as to the issue that mutants had to face and kept telling herself that everything would be fine. But Jezebel knew how stupid a sentiment that was. Penelope was just inexperienced and she needed to learn exactly how cruel humans can be.
“Psh, the little tyke doesn’t see the evolutionary line that you and I see, dear Syn,”[/b] she grinned as she took another bite of her cheesecake. “She wants everyone to like each other. But…she does get frustrated when people constantly prove her wrong.”[/b] She cackled at the thought of Penelope getting frustrated and upset. It never lasted long because not long after that would occur, Jezebel would make her entrance. “And those stupid brats were human,”[/b] she said in reference to the end of Syn’s last statement. “They the scare I gave them. Needed to get their diapers wet.”[/b]
She grinned and turned back to her food. But as she did, Syn’s next question almost caused her to pause…
>> “I’m curious as to how the two of you came to be joined. Would one of you be a manifestation the other has created? I can easily see how you could be all of Penelope’s built up anger and rage.”
She twitched, craned her next to the side and cracked it as she turned to face Syn. That was one of the most touchy subjects for the red amazon. She absolutely loathed[/b] the idea that she was bound to this weak little girl; she hated thinking that she didn’t have an individual identity and that she was little more than an after effect of the girl’s power. Sure, that, essentially, was what she was, but Jezebel always felt that she had always been there, that she would one day get a chance to break free from Penelope when she was strong enough! But she didn’t need a reminder of her predicament.
Her molten yellow gaze settled on Syn momentarily as she sucked cheesecake out from between her teeth. A dangerous smile slowly crept across her full lips…
“I’m more than enough to be a manifestation on my own,”[/b] she said a sultry and yet growling voice. “I’m getting stronger. Soon enough, the brat won’t even be around anymore.”[/b]
It was more of a hope than fact. But Jezebel would train, make herself stronger, and, one day, she would rid herself of Penelope once and for all.
Jezebel’s response regarding Syn’s statement of Penelope was proven true by the red skinned woman. A nod in agreement was Syn’s reply. “Perhaps she just needs to understand things more.”
The look on Jezebel’s face changed after Syn inquired how the woman was linked to Penelope. It truly showed how much the muscular woman hated humans, and to be honest Syn had to hide a smile. The answer didn’t quite satisfy Syn’s question, but it did give a hint to what the dark woman was thinking of the pair’s situation.
“Well then, however things happen it would be nice to have you both stay here with us. I’m sure we could use someone with your talents and shared views.” Syn wanted to talk with her new friend more and possibly mention the Order, but she still wasn’t sure if Penelope’s consciousness would over hear and become a liability.
>> “Perhaps she just needs to understand things more.”
Jezebel nodded, slowly, as she took in Syn’s words. They were words that she definitely knew were true and a mantra that she repeated to herself whenever she was out of that little girl’s body. She did not want to bring Penelope to harm, at least not while they were connected, but she just wished that things could be easier by making her see the truth. Penelope was so trusting but she needed to understand that humans were vermin, they needed to be eradicated, all of them; including her sister.
But, Penelope, despite her cheerfulness, was a stubborn little pest that never wanted to admit the truth. Eventually, though, she would have to. It was humans who took her parents away, humans who destroyed the happy life that she once had, no, she would learn. And Jezebel was going to be there to make sure that she did learn that lesson.
She grumbled at the thought as she stabbed a rather large slice of cheesecake with her fork, lifted it up, and began to bite huge chucks out of it thoughtfully.
>> “Well then, however things happen it would be nice to have you both stay here with us. I’m sure we could use someone with your talents and shared views.”
Jezebel grinned. Oh she definitely had talents (violence, murder, pain, etc.) and she was only too happy to share them with people who actually understood her point of view. It had been too long since she was able to share anything like that. Though if this place really was on the up-and-up and they only specialized in offering shelter to wayward mutants, then how could she really put her talents to work? Maybe by keeping the peace?
Pfft, sounded boring. Then again, with someone like Syn here, there had to be room for some fun stuff, didn’t there? Syn didn’t really look like a pacifist so maybe there was indeed something going on here that Jezebel couldn’t see. She shrugged, though, as she grinned.
“I’m down for staying,”[/b] she beamed, wide. “Penelope may not like it, though. She relies on our sister too much, Lilith, who is her legal guardian. I can’t hurt the human,”[/b] she said with a shrug as she eyed Syn. “Promised the brat. Buuuut…I’m sure you have some persuasive skills of your own?”[/b]
“I’m glad to hear you’re interested my dear. As for Penelope I’m sure we can work on that. Even though her sister is human at least she has a decent name.” Syn giggled lightly then finished her drink. “I’d like to show you something after you’ve had your fill.” Deciding to give the massive woman a little taste of the possibilities at Sanctuary Syn figured she could work on Penelope later. For now she wanted to know more about Jezebel.
After they were done in the dining area Syn guided Jezebel to the training room. She paused at the doorway to allow her new acquaintance to go explore on her own. “This is where some of us train and work on our skills and abilities.”
>> “I’m glad to hear you’re interested my dear. As for Penelope I’m sure we can work on that. Even though her sister is human at least she has a decent name…I’d like to show you something after you’ve had your fill.”
She grinned. She liked that her new found friend was going to work something out with getting Penelope to come here. The truth of the matter was that she really needed a vacation from Lilith and her constantly whining about everything. It made Jezebel’s ears bleed to think about that whining humans voice but she was bound by her promise to Penelope to not harm her. If only she could, just once, reach out and snap that pretty little ne—
She paused and decided that such thoughts were not going to help right now. Instead she turned back to feast in front of her. It was only as that was happening that she heard Syn’s other comment about a surprise. A wicked smile crept across her face.
Surprises were always appreciated.
***
It didn’t take Jezebel long to finish eating the rest of the food. It was clear that the woman was hungry or at least ran on fuel that was more what the average person ran on. She was able to polish off absolutely everything that she had taken to the table and left only scraps and crumbles behind that were absolutely miniscule. It was actually a pretty interesting sight to see this massive woman devour all the food she had brought with such great gusto.
When it was finally done, she agreed to Syn taking her off to see a surprise. Casually she joined the woman by her side sauntered off to explore.
It was not long after that she found herself in front of a large door that opened to allowed her access. She arched a brow but agreed to enter to see what all this surprise was going to be about. What she was greeted with was a large room, dark, but looked as if it was pieced together rather haphazardly. Curious, she turned to Syn for an explanation…
>> “This is where some of us train and work on our skills and abilities.”
That immediately perked her ears up! Training? With powers?! She was already in hog heaven at the thought of that! Just knowing that there was a place where she could go while with her powers so that she could really test her limits made her want to grin. She rarely, if ever, had opportunities to do something like this since she had to be careful with her strength while out in the world. But this place…yeah, it looked more than capable of handling her abilities.
That diabolical smirk slipped across her face as she cracked her knuckles and glanced at Syn.
“Really now?”[/b] she asked. Obviously there was some pent up energy hinged in her voice that was matched with a wide, wicked smile. “So…you think it can handle me?”
Syn could almost feel the rise in energy from Jezebel as they entered the training room. “Yes, I’m sure it can handle you. It’s been built to handle virtually anything. If it wasn’t then it wouldn’t be a very good training room now would it?”
Moving to power up the training devices Syn looked back to her lovely red companion. “Would you like to give it a try? Don’t hold anything back and I think you’ll be amazed at just how durable this stuff is.” Stepping back towards the doorway the dark woman waited and watched.
>> “Yes, I’m sure it can handle you. It’s been built to handle virtually anything. If it wasn’t then it wouldn’t be a very good training room now would it?”
She grinned. She had to admit that Syn had a point. But standing there, looking at the expansive interior, Jezebel tightened her fists as she gazed around. She could only imagine what she was getting herself into. In a place that specialized in giving mutants a home, and training them, there was no telling exactly what was going to suddenly materialize before her. Her imagination ran wild, simply wild[/b] with the possibilities.
A glance behind her and she noted that Syn was stepping closer to the doorway. Was she scared? Jezebel doubted it, after all Syn looked and acted like a hellraiser herself. But if so, why was she backing away? She shrugged. Maybe Syn just didn’t want to get in the way of Jezebel letting loose.
Smart girl.
>> “Would you like to give it a try? Don’t hold anything back and I think you’ll be amazed at just how durable this stuff is.”
The grin that crept across her face was so wicked and delighted that it would have disturbed the strongest of hearts. Fists clenched with anticipation, Jezebel nodded her head eagerly. It had been awhile since she had really let loose. And, it didn’t hurt that she wanted to impress Syn too.
A glance back to Syn and she gave her a sly wink.
“Start it up,”[/i][/b] she smiled. She then winked and blew her another kiss. “You should hang around. I’ll keep you safe…not that you’d need it.”[/i][/b] she giggle maniacally.
Syn noted the look Jezebel gave and smiled. “Oh I’m fine dear. Just giving you all the room you want and observing is all.” She could tell in the other woman’s voice and body language that she was ramped up and ready. Starting the training program Syn watched carefully. She remembered the show of strength from earlier and so was immediately anticipating Jezebels talents to be like her own brother’s.
>> “Oh I’m fine dear. Just giving you all the room you want and observing is all.”
Jezebel smirked.
“Suit yourself,”[/i][/b] she said as she turned to face the room.
Casually the massive woman began to stroll in, trying to keep her eyes moving and looking for anything that may jump out at her. Behind her, Syn seemed to have started up the program so Jezebel was readying herself for absolutely anything. Having never been in a training situation like this, she really was not sure what to expect. But it was the anticipation of what could be happening next and made her skin tingly and her body quivering.
It had been a long time since she this excited.
She took another step and it was then that felt the rumble beneath her feet. She stood her ground and took a fighting stance as she waited for something, anything to make its move. But as she peered through the dark all she was that, darkness. It clung to the corners and revealed nothing that was hidden in the shadows. Jezebel was not exactly sure what type of program this was but her yellow eyes flared as she cautiously turned her gaze away to continue on.
It was then that she heard the thumping. The loud, thunderous crashes that seemed to be coming from everywhere at once! At first Jezebel was curious as to what they could be but her curiosity was soon outweighed by her cautiousness.
A wide smile flew across her face as she tilted her head, listening as the thunder struck closer and closer in succession. They were stomping footsteps, but not just any kind…they were running. Whatever it was must have been heavy.
It was then, through the dark that she spied “him”. A beast ran towards her, a beast of rough, hide-like skin but with large, goring horns upon his head. As he ran there was a flicking and for a split second Jezebel could see the robotic personage underneath. But the holographic covering quickly returned and Jezebel found herself staring at a charging…Rhino Man
The beast snorted and ran at full speed. Jezebel held her ground.
A cackling smile she suddenly turned just as those horns came within inches of stabbing into her chest. As she spun, she quickly grabbed a hold of the man’s horn and pulled. Easily the behemoth of a man was shot off his feet and went hurdling to the floor. Jezebel cracked her neck to the side and laughed heartily. Was that really all this training center ha---
THUDTHUDTHUDTHUD!![/b]
Another runaway freight train!
Jezebel turned just in time to see another Rhino Man coming at her at full speed. Not having enough time to dodge, Jezebel did the only sensible thing, she caught the man by the shoulders and ground her teeth as she felt the full force of the beast being shoved against her. She growled as the man pushed and pushed. The red Amazonian could feel her feet skidding across the smooth ground but she didn’t let her strength falter in the least. Instead, locking hands with the creature, she snarled as she quickly began to squeeze and crush his fingers. It was just when he began to step back that she suddenly leaned forward and pulled the creature into a headlock. She squeezed her biceps and pulled harshly as suddenly she heard that satisfying SNAP![/b]
The beast crumpled to the ground. She laughed hysterically at the sight of it but she didn’t get to enjoy her victory long.
THUDTHUDTHUDTHUD!![/b]
THUDTHUDTHUDTHUD!![/b]
THUDTHUDTHUDTHUD!![/b]
Suddenly she looked up to see three more of those Rhino Men all appearing out of the shadows. At different angles suddenly they all charged at her. Jezebel, though looking outnumbered, could only grin…
“Good, I guess we can start the work out now, she laughed as she ran straight at them, fists reared high…
In fact the program Syn had selected was one she had seen her brother practice with. Using him as a base she could now determine Jezebel’s own power. Seeing the Rhino Men being taken down one by one was an ok start. She could see the red woman’s muscles being employed each time she took down an opponent. Now with three Rhino men charging in Syn waited to see how the female powerhouse would handle them.
The first one was the easiest to take down. As he came barreling down the middle of the group, Jezebel cackled as she wrapped one fist around the other and suddenly lashed out with everything that she had. The second her double-fisted strike hit the side of the Rhino’s jaw, she felt it begin to give way. If this had been a real human his head would have probably popped clean off. But, given the fact that these were tougher than normal machines (illusions?), she was satisfied with simply knocking the creature off balance.
The sizeable indention she left in the Rhino’s jaw was collapsed in and let his mouth hanging opening in a slacken, sickening manner. He careened off to the side but his stumbling did not stop the other two rhino men in the least. One simply barreled through their fallen comrade and kept coming at Jezebel full force.
Jezebel growled, her smile wide, as she lashed out at the nearest one. She threw out her knee which connected with the stomach of the beast, causing it to double over. But the motion also forced her to take her eye off the last rhino man. As she watched the second tumble over, she turned only to see the massive shoulder coming closer and closer.
She had no time to dodge.
With a gasp she felt the rough should drive itself into her stomach and sent her flying backwards across the training room. She was momentarily airborne, struggling to catch her breath with suddenly…SLAM![/b]
She struck the ground with such force that it shook the room. Walls rattled, the floor creaked, doors shook, the was the type of fall that should have been enough to kill a common man. But, Jezebel was quickly proven to be anything BUT common.
From the cloud of debris that lifted up from her fall, there came an almost crazed laughter. Slowly, rumbled was shoved aside as Jezebel stood up and began to dust herself off. A crash like that should have resulted in broken bones, deep lacerations, something! Instead, there was only one tiny cut on her shoulder, and it was barely visible.
Jezebel continued to laugh as she stood up and dusted debris off her shoulders. Molten yellow eyes peers glowed bright through the cloud of dust and caught sight of the trio of Rhino Men once against on their feet. Stamping the ground in frustration of not defeating their opponent, they all charged again.
The ground shaking, her fists tightened, Jezebel watched, smiling wide as all three Rhino Men (on with a shattered jaw) ran directly for her. It was only when they were close enough did Jezebel suddenly throw herself at them. Fists held high, she arched her back and exposed her very strong, massive, stomach muscles. Her entire body hummed with strength as she flew through the air before finally colliding with the lead rhino. Fists slammed down and instantly the beast collapsed under her strength.
But, unlike before, she didn’t spend time boasting. Just as that beast went down, she reached out and grabbed both the others by their horns and lifted them clean off the through. Even with their massive weights, each, they flailed like tiny children, trying to pry Jezebel’s hands off their horns.
“Awww, you want down?”[/b][/color] she mocked. “Don’t worry…I’ll pu ya down!!!!”[/b][/color]
Giggling insanely, Jezebel sneered and suddenly swung both Rhino Men force and struck them, face-to-face. Both creatures gasped as their face exploded in a shower of gears, shrapnel, and oil. Sparks momentarily illuminated Jezebel’s glorious red face as she held both these creatures in a very painful looking kiss with one another. When she was sure that they were defeated, she casually tossed them both to her side.
The display of power and resilience was truly a wonder to observe as Jezebel handled the Rhino men. Even when she took the hit from one and dusted herself off Syn compared the woman to her brother. Her brother wasn’t as beautiful as Jezebel, but ability wise it looked as though the red woman might be just a bit weaker than the Abyssi. That being said Jezebel was still massively strong compared to the average person.
Smiling back Syn nodded. “I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself. You’re quite a woman.” Syn stopped the training program and then flipped through some of the scenery holograms. “There are lots of different training programs so you won’t have to do the same old thing each time.”
>> “I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself. You’re quite a woman.”
Jezebel grinned as she straightened herself up. The piles of the three robotic fiends were lying at her feet, sparked and flickered with holographic images that struggled to sustain themselves. It was obvious, though, that the battle was over. They would not be getting back up.
Triumphant, Jezebel stepped onto the head of one of the beast and crushed it down as she began to saunter back over to Syn.
The compliment was enough to make her smile, wide. She loved praise and she definitely knew that she was quite a woman. It seemed that her plan to impress the dark lady was going on quite well. She nodded to her kept a look out on her surroundings. She couldn’t see if Syn was turning the program off or not so she was still a little on edge if something had decided to jump onto the attack. Actually, Jezebel was kind of hoping something would.
She was pumped! She could have fought like that all day! It was such a good work out and not only was it an excellent test of her strength, it also kept her adrenaline levels up. The higher those were, the longer she could be out and play before Penelope woke up.
>> “There are lots of different training programs so you won’t have to do the same old thing each time.”
As she strolled she watched around her as the scenery began to change from shadows to a variety of settings. First she was in a forest, surrounded by tall pine trees with mountains looming in the distance; next she was in the middle of several sandy dunes that looked over a wasteland; afterward she was walking down the street of a city; then an alien planet; on and on as Syn switched through them, Jezebel marveled at the sights, sounds and smells. Each time if felt and looked so absolutely real that she doubted she could tell them from reality.
The wide grin on her face proved she was impressed as she turned her glowing eyes onto Syn.
“This place is seriously impressive,”[/b][/i] she said as she rested her eyes on Syn. “Almost as impressive as the company.”[/i][/b] She could be a good flatterer when she wanted to be. Casually she moved up to Syn’s side and glanced at the computer switches that controlled the room. It looked complicated; she would have to get someone to help her. But, until then, she turned back to Syn. “I definitely wouldn’t mind crashing here. Just have to get Penelope to agree to coming back. Once you do, I’ll be more than happy to be at your disposal.”[/i][/b]
