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.

She blushed a little more at the explanation. "Right...And making out with him helps....how?" she asked quirking a brow. She shook her head, getting up and sitting in the chair for a moment. "I'm not here to judge; I mean, I just moved in after all. But just because we share a living area doesn't mean I wanna see you guys..."
Her hands flashed purple again as she sort of looked away.
About that time, Blaine finished his beer, and made his way to the living room, stopping behind the couch. "Everything okay in here?"

When lost, one has a tendency of wandering for a spell, finding something they think looks familiar, then keep going from there. That, is exactly what Skye had done before realizing she was lost, and now she'd feared she was even more lost than before. But Jack was there, and even though they'd just met...that thought alone made her feel better.
"Y--yeah..." she murmured, pulling a scrap of paper out of her jacket pocket; luckily she hadn't thrown it away. She then read off the address, putting it into her own phone as well.
"Maybe between the two of us, we'll find something..." she murmured, the black-light not ceasing to radiate from her palms. She edged a little closer to Jack as she looked.
"What does yours say....according to mine...I went way out of the way..." she murmured, biting her lip. Well, she'd really screwed up this time.

The instant the green light flashed, it faded, but her hair was still the very startled, shocked, green. Sure, she knew adults did that sort of thing--she partook, herself every now and again--but did they forget she lived there too? Which also posed the question how often--nope. Not going there. I still sleep there for now...
And then....Blaine escaped into the kitchen, and Skye sat on the coffee table as she listened, quirking a brow at her 'Aunt.' "What happened, did he get punched in the tongue?" Skye asked, her inner sass quickly bubbling to the surface. "I mean, Jesus...if that's how you search for injuries, I'm wondering what kinda fight you two were in," she added dryly, her startled green turning to it's seemingly usual shade of purple.
Meanwhile, Blaine just stayed in the kitchen area, sipping very slowly on his beer.
Skye nodded. "Yeah...it does, in a way. She did say it'd be safer since no one was stupid enough to mess with her; not quite those words, but you know," she said, finishing her soda and getting up to throw the can in the trash.
"It may not be, but thanks. I've never really had that. I mean, once my powers surfaced, my mom didn't care. And while my Dad does care, he was always stressed and stretched out as it was." she said once she got back. "I'll be more careful," she reassured before moving next to Lee and wrapping an arm around her in a half hug. "Thanks. I know I've only been here a short while, but thanks for being so accepting and caring. It means a lot."
She smirked a little as Maya mentioned her own mutation. In all honesty, she thought that was kind of hot. Though she definitely thought that, it wasn't what the younger woman said. "That's kind of awesome," she said with a light grin, her hair now going from blue to the default brown, though only a bit of it could be seen through the hoodie. The light on her hands, however, died completely. For the first time that day, she was completely calm, her emotions neutral.
Though, it was worth noting that her hair rarely stayed its natural brunette for very long.
"A side effect of mine is that hair dye doesn't take to my hair," she said after a moment, just to break the silence that was settling in. "I'd tried that to hide my abilities, and as soon as my power activates, the dye just...disappears, like my hair eats it or something." She gave a shrug, smiling just a little. She felt so much better now that she wasn't running around in a skimpy outfit and tripping over things.

Skye didn't mind being close to her new friend; and wasn't thinking about personal space; all she was focused on was that it was cold as balls outside and Jack practically radiated warmth. At least compared to how she herself was feeling right now. She smiled up at the prawn as they walked.
"Yeah, that is true. I'm going to go broke this way though, I know it..." she murmured softly as she scooted a little closer, but then she heard the bigger mutant clear her throat, and thought maybe she was doing something wrong, so Skye slid just back to where she'd been.
Skye smiled when Jack shared her own living arrangement. "Sounds like a nice setup. Once I get a more steady cash-flow, I should look into a place of my own..." she mused to herself, but out loud. As they walked, Skye looked around, trying to remember exactly how she'd gotten to the bookstore from Blaine's, but....nothing looked familiar.
Her hair turned purple again as her hands started pulsing with the nervous purple light, which soon turned black as fear, doubt, and a little bit of anger at herself set in. The light on her hands began to pulse with more of a black-light effect as her breath caught a little.
"Crap.....this doesn't look familiar...." she muttered. "I...I don't know where...." She took a deep breath. "I'm pretty sure I've gotten us lost," she said, looking up, the black-light effect making the lighter colored surroundings in the immediate area seem to glow.
She took a few more breaths, trying to calm yourself. Easy, girl....no need to blind and/or deafen your new friend....
"I'm sorry...I was sure I knew the way..." She took a few more deep breaths, the light dimming to a mere flicker, but it was still prominent.

She nodded slowly, considerably more respectful than when she'd first showed up on the doorstep. She knew she didn't have to answer to Lee, but she liked the older woman. After all, she wouldn't have taken to calling her "Aunt" if she didn't.
"Yeah, I've been told, and I'm beginning to realize how much different it is from my little half-hour from the city port-town home," she said with a slight blush. "That's also why Jack offered to walk me home. It helps when you have a friend who's bigger than Uncle Blaine," she said, smirking a little at the thought, taking another sip of soda.
"Yeah, I met someone in the bookstore," Skye explained as she settled back into the couch, sipping her soda. "I'm sorry I worried you....I'd texted Uncle Blaine," she said softly, biting her lip.
"I was safe though. I wasn't out alone. She'd offered to walk me back here, and we kinda got...sidetracked," she said, still trying to skirt around the topic but also giving Lee just enough information to know that she was safe--and at least remotely responsible.
"I know I shouldn't even have been out that late, but I was sort of restless, and I get tired of being limited to a couch, ya know?"

Skye nodded, biting her lip a little as she thought. Okay, so maybe Lee's mutation made things a little more complicated when it came to sleeping. Much moreso than having to deal with going to sleep with lights you couldn't turn off sometimes. At least she still had the option to sleep. And eventually, she'd get so tired she just dozed off and the lights didn't bother her. But...this was different.
As the answer to the bookstore question was pressed, Skye's hands began to flicker a little bit as her face flushed a little deeper. "Well, that was mostly what I did," she said, calming her embarrassment at least enough to kill the lights. "I just stayed out. Found someone to...hang with. That sorta thing," she said with a slight shrug before readjusting on the couch a little, pulling her legs up onto the sofa as she took another drink of soda.

"Actually...yeah. You and Blaine seem to be night owls, while I'm used to being more of a...sleep til noon, kind of person," she said in response. "Don't you like, work at a bar though? That would require you adopting a weird sleep schedule." She shrugged a little.
Then when Lee mentioned her being out all night, she blushed a little, hair going from orange to purple. "Oh, yeah. It's this old building that's several blocks from here," she said with a slightly nervous giggle, though it did sort of embarrass her for some reason. Blaine and Lee would obviously know that she'd been out all night.
"Pretty much, yeah," she answered after a moment. Maybe she'd buy that's what she'd been doing the whole time. Maybe.

"Yeah, I've heard kids can be like that. Too smart for their own good. And ours," she replied with another giggle. Once she got to the fridge, she grabbed a couple of sodas and returned to the living room, handing one to Lee before sitting down and popping one open.
"I'm working on it. Still sort of getting used to that job Uncle Blaine helped me get, but I think I've made a couple of friends--acquaintances, at least, but I think I'll fit in nicely sooner or later," she commented. "I found a bookstore that's open 24 hours, so that's pretty cool," she added, sipping her soda a little.
"Still getting used to you two and your funky sleeping schedules, too. I'm not used to that in the slightest."

Her smile and her orange hair remained as she listened to Lee talk about Blaine trying to get on Kevin's level. It was...rather adorable to imagine.
"He sounds like a clever kid," she said with a small snort as she giggled again. "But yeah, I can imagine how that could cause a few problems," she murmured lightly, settling in on the couch again. She was completely relaxed, but the orange glow of happiness didn't fade. If anything, the room flickered orange a little bit.
After a moment, she stood up. "I'm going to get something to drink; you want me to bring you anything?" she asked before heading to the kitchen to grab a soda.
"I can kind of see that," she answered with an amused giggle, bringing her left foot to rest on her right thigh.
At the mention of Kevin "testing" Blaine, Skye's hair turned a bright orange as she laughed, her hands radiating an orange glow as she did. The image of a kid walking around poking the large musclebound man with whatever he could find was funnier than Skye'd thought it probably should be. "That, I'd actually like to see," she said once the laughing and the light had died down.

Skye noticed her look away, and her hair turned blue, worried she'd said something wrong, or read too deep into it, or something. After all, it had only been several weeks. But then she subject turned to Kevin, and Skye's hair turned into its neutral brown.
"Adorable!" she said with a grin, looking back at Lee. "How does Uncle Blaine interact with him? Is that more awkward or equally adorable? Because....honestly I can see it going either way," she asked, a finger twirling her hair for a moment.

She smiled again, leaning back on the couch and stretching out a little. "Sounds like you two are a perfect fit for each other," she said as she looked over at Lee.
Then, she shook her head. "I remember you saying you'd been married before, but I don't remember you mentioning having a son. Though, my sleep pattern has been really messed up lately." Granted, part of that may have been staying out late, on top her not being used to a night schedule.
