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.

Lily got in the car and she couldn't help but feel nervous as the doors locked. She remembered the last time they went out together - back when Alex just got home and was a little bit upset. Little bit compared to how she looked and sounded now. “Please tell me you didn’t know about what Sam has been doing while I was away.” Lily glanced at Alex, more alarmed than she thought she would be. "I..." She couldn't lie to her. She would find out sooner or later, and Alex was her friend, one of the few good friends she had, and she just couldn't lie. It was not fair. "... I'm sorry." she sighed, looking away from her, staring at her hands on her lap "I was trying to tell you, I really was... but you just seemed... so sure that you did the right thing. I didn't want to tell you. I couldn't." Lily was blushing in embarrasment as she looked at Alex, waiting for her to react. Or something to happen. Anything.
“Lily, 30 minutes. In front of the mansion. We’re going out.” Saying Alex sounded upset would have been an understatement. Not a minor one either. Liy could tell from the moment she heard her voice that something was up, although she had no idea what. The safest bet, as always, was Sam - she suspected that even though Alex told her that relationship was over, neither party could possibly have gotten over is to quickly. Even if she knew for a fact that Sam was dating someone. Someone who was not Alex. If she found out... Lily showed up in front of the mansion 25 mintues later, dressed casually (actually she put on the first thing that she could grab from the wardrobe, Alex didn't sound like she cared much), waiting anxiously for her friend to appear. "Alex, are you all right? What happened?"
“I don’t know how much it hurts him not being closer to me but I’m certain that it will hurt him much more being close to me. So yeah. I think it’s the best thing.” Lily sighed, and didn't comment on that. She coud have told Alex it hurt Sam more than she thought; she could have also told her about the drinking, and the random girls, or the one she's met, but she decided against it. Alex seemed set on not discussing the topic, and she looked sure about her decision. For now. Lily was smart enough to know when the time was not right for changing one's mind. Not yet. "All right." she nodded with a small smile "Just wanted to make sure. Looking out for friends, and all that." she lifted her glass, drinking a lot less than Alex did, but still enough to keep up "Let's just... do whatever we did last time, and things might turn out well again."
Lily sighed, and looke at her friend. She wanted to reach out and hod her hand as a way of comforting, but Alex kept her hands in her lap, so Lily just sighed, and sipped her drink quietly, thinking of something to say. "Loving him didn' cost him anyting, Alex." she said finally "The camps did, and Romania, and people's stupidity, and maybe a few mistakes we made as a team. But not you, I can tell you that." Even though Sam and Alex never told her (or anyone) how he lost his eye, Lily knew her friends enough to know whatever reason Alex had for blaming herself, it was not true. It was not right. "Besides, not being near you hurts him too." she bit her lip "I spent weeks avoiding Shawn after we came home. I know how it feels like. Are you... sure you are doing the right thing?"
“Guess it wasn’t meant to be. Can’t say it didn’t hurt… But it’s the best. For both. We- I’ll get over it.” Lily looked sad. She was sad. About her friends, and all they had to go through, during the camps and in Romania. And Alex didn't look like she was fine at all. For that matter, Sam didn't either. "Why?" she asked more quietly, looking at Alex "Don't get me wrong, there is a lot I don't know, and I don't want to pry, and I really don't want to hurt you more. But... He doesn't look like it's better for him, at all. Neither do you." she sighed "I'm just trying to understand, why. You don't have to talk, if you don't want to." She looked down at her drink, blushing. She wasn't used to prying even that much.
Lily sipped her own cocktail. It was not bad for a blind choice either. Even though she had more important things to do now than to worry about the drinks. Problems are being solved, right. In Romania, maybe. Not at home. Lily decided this matter needed a more direct approach than she preferred. "So, I hear you and Sam... are not together anymore." she said, sitting back in her chair, tilting her head at Alex "I'm sorry." She didn't like being straightforward, really. But Alex did ask for it...
“Lily, tell me what you want to know or else I fear that I’ll just avoid discussing those subjects.” Lily nodded. She didn't like asking directly about things;she preferred talking to her friends until they told her about their problems themselves. But she could tell she didn't need to be that subtle with Alex. She just told her so. "Well, you could start with... I don't know, telling me what problems you have that ned to be solved?..." she suggested "I mean, the months after the camps... I know it's not easy, and you got it much worse than I did. So, whatever you feel like talking about. Whenever you fell like talking." she added with a small smile "If you want to wait till a fe cocktails later, that's fine too. We have all night."
"Ready." It as beautiful. Floating above the ciy at night, in a bubble instead of an airplane (one can never see enough out of airplanes, with the small windows they have) was magical. Lily had flown with Juka before, but that was in broad daylight, which, although amazing in a rare, mutant way, was nothing compared to the night view. "Wow." Lily smiled, looking at the lights below "You know, Juka, I envy you for this ability, I really do. If I were you, I'd do this all the time..." She made sure to hold on to his hand though. They were floating very high.
Lily glanced at her friend as they walked into the club. Alex had changed a lot, during and after Romania, she could tell that much already. No wonder. She spent much more time there than Lily did. Among other things. "Well, we'll just have to try something new." she smiled as she walked up to an empty booth that seemed to be just waiting for two mutant ladies in need of some serious talk and coctails. "I've probably drunk more of these with you than I have in my entire life" Lily smirked, reading the list of drinks "And I still can't tell them apart, so..." So, Lily ordered a Dragonfly. Once the waitress took their orders and left them alone, she rested her chin in her palm, and looked at Alex. "Now, talk to me."
Lily smiled excitedly, set the ice cream bowl down, and hopped up from the bed to follow Juka. As they passed the girls's corridor, she stopped. Maybe being dressed in something more than her sleepwear would be a good idea. The bubble might allow them to be comfortable, but as far as she knew, it was practically see-through. Flying around in her sleepwear might work for Wendy Darling, but not for Lily Lafayette. "Give me a sec." Two minutes later she returned, wearing jeans and a top, and a bright smile. "Now we can go." She followed Juka outside.
Looking forward to rping with you!
