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.

Before anyone had time to say or do anything, except for the departure of Abyss, Syn found out that her assumption was correct. Though at first she wasn't sure it was their intended target, but sdhe wasn't about to take the chance of letting whoever this girl was get away. The girl didn't seem to notice the small group in the middle of the hallway. Something that gave more of an advantage to Syn. Quickly Syn ran at the girl. Her impressive speed allowing her to close the distance faster than most would anticipate. The closer she got to the young girl the more Syn could feel herself feeling strange. Her pheromones were going crazy. This IS the mutant they are after.
Fighting as hard as she could to use her other ability to counter the affects she continued to get closer until she was right in front of Jack. The tension on Syn's face was apparent as she continued to fight the other mutant's ability. Syn grabbed the girl's wrist and twisted it to force her to her knees. "You're not going any further little girl." Turning back to Mr. King her first thought was to wonder if the girls power had reached the rest of the group. Her second fear was did her own pheromone ability reach the group. Hopefully the answer to both questiosn was a no but she had to continue the mission. "Mr. King, I have our prize. However I'm not sure how you plan to get her out of here without her affecting everyone else." She could feel her self starting to counter Jack's power.

Jack didn't know much more than street fighting and she didn't try to fool herself into thinking she could physically overpower anyone.
However, because of her mutation, she wasn't particularly fearful of the woman and just watched her face.
A strange sense of pleasure flowed over Jack's mind; she loved the idea that even though the woman would struggle eventually she would no longer be able to fight it.
The longer she spent so close to Jack, the harder resistance would become.
However, Jack wished slightly that she wasn't so hazardous at the moment. Particularly when Kaine's power began to go crazy.These people were supposed to be her ticket to freedom.
"Hurry!" she urged, unsure of whether these were the people whom she should trust. Penelope was up at the top of the stairs, her tiny hands clutched the iron bars unable to move them.
"Hurry!" Jack urged casting a sad look of farewell to her caretaker. "My powers are just going to get worse! We have to get out of here!"
Suddenly the guards approached, guns in hands. However they soon fell to the floor clutching their heads and stomachs. " The guards can't shoot you as long as I'm here, they'll get too sick!!!" Jack encouraged.
(OOC: Will post TOMORROW!!! Its 4am now, and I REALLY need to crash. I suppose I owe you guys a long post seeing I have been away. Will explain why all in due time. In the meantime, I'd just like to thank everyone for continuing the story and not letting it stagnate in my absence. I understand how there may have been difficulties without leadership, but you've all been doing a fantastic job *thumbs up* )
The girl's power was very strong. Syn could feel it trying to over take her. She was fighting with all her might to counter it still and she was succeeding so far in that she hadn't lost control completely.
She saw the guards approach then start reacting as if they were sucking in nerve gas. They dropped to the floor or slammed against the walls clutching their guts and heads. Syn heard Jack's words and she knew it was true as she continued to watch the humans squirm around.
"That's good to know and as soon as I can adapt to your ability we can get out of here a little more easily." Syn looked over to Mr. King and the others to see if they were being affected from where they were standing.
Kate dove backward as the explosion rocked around her. They were driving many of the guards around in their direction. In fact, Eris didn't see any guards that weren't coing towards her. The diversion was working. The explosion had drawn quite a bit of attention. She turned to Thorn, "Touche... nice job." Then she turned back to the rushing defenders (or perhaps in this case attackers).
With a swift motion she rose into the air, the gravity around her bending below her, pushing her upward against the natural force which now was pulled around her, instead of on her. She rose about fifteen feet and then slowly began to enjoy the game. She lifted a car about thirty feet away and hurled it toward the guards. It slammed into the ground and rolled six times, taking several people with it. Eris chuckled and then bent the light near the facility in a tight cord. Whipping it around with her mind, she charred a few guards that had been knocked over by the explosion. They died from the intense heat instantly.
She redirected the light over the car and it exploded into a ball of fire, causing more commotion. Settling down, she dropped herself safely onto the surface of the dirt and then blinked. A guard rushed at her waving a gun and firing. Eris chuckled and waved her hand forward, running at the man at the same time. Suddenly, she sent everyone else back in time about fourteen seconds, exactly what she had wanted. To everyone on in the area, the last fourteen seconds never happened, but Eris was in a different position suddenly, and she knew how the guard running towards her would react. Before he had time to run at her, she was already throwing him backward with her mind, then standing over his body she adjusted the gravity to push his blood downward. The blood literally was pulled through his skin, and he was simply dead before he realized that something was wrong.
Eris smiled and then flipped backward, using the gravity to land her softly. She checked her clock, twenty-four minutes left.
Isabel turned her attention away from the guard that fell at her feet when she heard Syn speaking to Mr. King, saying that she'd detained the target. Quickly she backed off, knowing how hazardous this Haywire girl's powers were, the bone swords promptly sliding back into her hands as she did so. Carefully she watched the reactions of the humans that were growing sick, trying to gage the range of the effects from the girl's powers. She gave an involuntary shudder as she felt an unpleasant ripple pass through her skeletal structure. She continued to put distance between herself, Syn and the girl as she moved toward the end of the hallway, knowing she could be in deep trouble if the girl was to come to harm.
She ducked defensively as a large winged shadow beast swooped overhead, covering her ears as a painfully sharp screech echoed through the hallway before she had to press herself back up against the wall to avoid getting barreled over by another beast, this one red in color whom she soon worked out to be the red mobster look-alike from before. If this Haywire girl's powers could cause this big of a mess, the abduction team would need to transport her away from here, and fast.
Isabel would advance no further in front of the group, seeing no more need to do so with that girl's powers able to effect the humans so favorably. She would most likely stay behind with the clean up crew, unless directed to do otherwise by Mr. King. "You alright, Big Guy?" she inquired, her question directed at Abyss once he'd reverted back to normal, though he had a few nasty looking cuts and looked to be a little lost. Call it a weakness if you will, but the young mutant couldn't help worrying over other mutants from time to time.
I’m just a well-adjusted gal who likes to leave a serious amount of mayhem in her wake.
There was a congregation of mutants surrounding the one they came for. As Dorian approached, a few noticed his presence, and moved aside, allowing him to pass. As Dorian came closer to the young girl, he noticed the fear and confusion in her eyes. There was an unusual distance between the group and the young girl, as if there was an invisible barrier holding them back. With every step towards the girl, he could feel a strange heat surge through his body. Inch by inch the heat intensified until it was almost unbearable. At first there weren’t any noticeable physical signs of change, but soon it was apparent that something was changing. His eyes, along with the rest of his body began to burn, and a dark purple smoke poured from the black orbs that had seemingly replaced his eyes. He stopped walking, and looked at his hands, which were now light purple in colour. His fingernails had begun to blacken, and turn into sharp claws. Many inaudible voices had begun to develop in his mind. He desperately wanted to push the boundaries of how far he could go, but the pain inside him was already more than any normal man could bear, and almost more than Dorian could tolerate himself. Running his tongue around the inside of his mouth, he could feel pointed fangs where his teeth had been. He took a couple of steps back, “Another day” Dorian thought to himself.
Not wanting to waste any time, Dorian addressed the small army: “We must leave NOW, no doubt the people behind this facility are sending even stronger troops to stop us. We’ve come this far… I don’t intend to give the target up now.”
His statement was greeted by nods and murmurs of acknowledgment.
“The front line team shall takes us out of here, the trucks are waiting outside. Go now.”
The front line team started marching back through the chaos they had created only moments before back to the entrance.
“Now, Syn, you will have to accompany Jack on your own, because none of us can approach her without losing control of our powers. Everyone needs to stand up against the walls to let Syn and Jack pass, just to minimise the risk of something going wrong. Once they’re a safe distance away, we can follow. Do that now.”
Just like Dorian had instructed, everyone lined the walls, while the two girls walked back towards the entrance, young Jack looking at each mutant with a mix of fear and curiosity as she passed them.
There was little resistance for the group as they made the way back to the trucks. An extra truck had been brought specifically for Jack and Syn to ride in on their own, to avoid any complications with the other mutants. Dorian made sure that Jack and Syn had entered the truck before he himself got in his own.
Looking at the driver, Dorian mentally communicated: “King Pharmaceuticals”. Dorian thought it was best that everyone in the truck didn’t know where they were going; it just made things easier. As the trucks pulled away, Dorian looked back at the facility, admiring the good work the team had just accomplished.

((SHE DOESN"T HAVE THAT POWER. Sense of intangibility should be taken as a literal literary term, she simply feels untouchable because it's hard for people to get close to her))
Jack was still squirming, more vigorously now. "Please, we have to hurry!!!" Some saviors these turned out to be she thought bitterly looking through the window of the van.
(OOC: You and Syn are in one of the vans now, leaving the facility.)
