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 nodded again, mostly listening at this point in the conversation. "Yeah, it all makes sense to me. He'd just gotten you, sees you flirting and doesn't know what to think since you just got together, but luckily it was just harmless banter. Though it's pretty cool how that turned out."
She smiled at Lee's response to her comment about Blaine having good taste, but then she stopped, blinking a little in confusion. "Who's Kevin?"

Skye smiled slightly as Lee mentioned her own powers, then gave a nod. "That explains how you were able to spar with him," she murmured, trying to imagine that. She actually wished she'd have been a fly on the wall for that one. Though, she felt she could relate when Lee said she didn't like her powers. Sometimes, she didn't either.
Then, Lee mentioned flirting, and explained the story, and she cocked her head to the side a little. On the one hand, it kinda made sense, but on the other, Skye was known to flirt freely as well, and not really in the playful sense. "Hey, I understand. And he does kind of strike me as the type. I mean...my family always kinda pegged him as the life-long bachelor. But I'm glad he's provin' em wrong," she said with a smile.
"In fact, I'd say he has pretty good taste, from what I've gathered about you."

"Okay, that sounds pretty bad. But if he's anything like he was when I was little, Uncle Blaine's pretty stubborn. So I doubt he'll be going anywhere anytime soon," she said with a giggle. She did remember him being quite hard headed. Of course he was a lot younger back then, but he didn't seem too different nowadays, aside from the big soft spot he seemed to have for Lee. And the way he'd softened up when he saw her for the first time... "It makes sense...I mean, when you're dating someone, you also end up having to deal with their family, usually. And I guess it goes the same for mutations, too..." she mused.
"Well, he has had a lot of time to get used to that..." Then she blinked. "So he's a little protective of you, huh?" she teased lightly. Not that she blamed him.

"I don't know....I mean not being able to feel seems like a pretty big deterrence when it comes to certain things...." she murmured, still trying to figure out exactly how that worked, though she really didn't want to think on that too much, since it was her uncle involved. That was just...weird.
"Yeah. My dad told me they'd swapped to plastic and metal cups after his powers took full effect. He'd accidentally shatter glasses while trying to drink. I guess without feeling, you'd have to have a pretty impressive level of focus," she added as she relaxed even more.
"Heh, my hair can go black sometimes, but it takes a really....dangerous cocktail of emotions. Though the lights that come off of my hands when that happens is pretty neat..."
Skye listened as Lee spoke, nodding slowly. She herself didn't think she could get invested in anyone that quickly. In fact, she was almost envious; her relationships didn't tend to last that long, even. Then again, most of them weren't even intended to last more than a few hours, so...there was that.
"Maybe it's not a bad thing though. I mean...with Uncle Blaine...he's so much gentler around you. Granted all I've seen of him otherwise was on those tapes, but from what my Dad says, he was always sort of distant, even as a teenager. Sort of...intense, I guess? But the guy I see now...he's still tough, but he's got this....teddy bear vibe to him."
She smiled at the mention of her colors. "Thanks. They do give off this sort of punk-rock vibe, don't they?" she said, grinning a little.
"I don't think I've been here long enough," she said with a giggle. "This is the first time since I've landed that I've gotten off my uncle's couch," The last part of her statement was said a little more dryly than the first. Then she nodded as she paid for her books and hung the bag on her shoulder.
"I didn't think about that. But then again I spent my whole life in a small port town in Maine, maybe thirty minutes from the closest city. So it wasn't as dangerous. Yeah I'm a little out of my element..."
Moments later they were stepping outside. And then she realized that her flimsy hoodie was no match for the 4am chill, and she slid closer to the larger mutant in the hopes of leeching warmth. "I think my uncle lives like....ten blocks from here," she murmured, biting her lip against the cold as she pulled the hood over her head.

She blinked. "You've only been together for about a month and a half? I really thought it'd been longer the way you guys act around each other. I mean...I kind of admire that," she murmured, looking over with a smile.
"Yeah...I mean, I like having emotions, but I'm sure if you paid enough attention, you could probably have me figured out by color-code, eventually..." she whispered lightly, then smiled.
"You know, hair dye doesn't take to my hair? I tried it when my powers surfaced. It turned colors, and then when it turned back, it was brown. The dye just sorta....disappears."

She smiled wider, giving a nod at her answer. "Even though I'm only meeting him for the first time in over a decade...I think he does feel the same. Especially after...some of the things you told me." She then gave a laugh at the image of an 80 year old Blaine setting his walker aside to get into the ring.
"Yeah...I noticed he still trains to fight. Like...he can't leave it. It's so ingrained in who he is. I wonder if bouncers have a good retirement plan..." she mused, thinking about that. Though she could see him doing that at 80, too...
Then the conversation got more serious, and Skye's smile faded, but she still nodded. "I can't just shut myself down like that. I just meant like I've grown a thicker skin. Like...I had a bad first day at work the other day, and bad days at home tended to make me...do that. And then I'd find myself fired."

She paused a moment, thinking. "True. And I probably wouldn't have had a place to go..." she murmured, then looked up at her. "You're really happy with Uncle Blaine. I like how you two compliment each other, actually. It's sweet. If it took him not being a fighter for you to find him, and for me to be here....then I think I'm happy with that," she added with a soft smile, her hair turning orange as her smile grew wider.
"Yeah, that tends to happen to people. All you can do is wait it out. Maybe it's good I won't be blowing a hole in the wall or anything. Especially not in my younger years. I mean...I don't let a lot get to me anymore. So I guess that's one good thing my power did, huh? I'm a little less sensitive, at least in the extreme sense."

"I think my pulse sped up, but....aside from that, it was just the anger..." she murmured, the light ringing in her ears dying down, finally. "I just know I felt angry, then it got worse, and then I'm too tired to stay angry. And...I'm a little sad. Heartbroken, maybe. I don't know...it happens just as suddenly for me as it does for you," she explained.
"Though, for some reason, the light doesn't affect me so much. Maybe because it's mine, or something." She shrugged, then looked over at Lee. "You gonna be okay? The effects should wear off pretty soon. It's different for different people, but it rarely lasts more than a minute or two," she said, gently moving to place her hand on Lee's shoulder. "That much, I can tell you. Luckily it's not fatal or permanent or anything, right?" She smiled a little.

Forget? Skye's face dropped, realizing the poking, the words....it was to get her power to activate. But she was honestly too tired to be mad again, as her hands flickered with blue light again, feeling somewhat sad. Used, even. But at the same time, she understood that Lee was just trying to help her get a grip on it, so it wasn't as bad.
"Well...I was angry that time..." she murmured. "When it happened...that anger just sort of....exploded, I guess. And now...I'm tired. Little light headed..." she said, curling up a little tighter. "That kinda takes a lot out of me."

"Yeah...the color part is pretty neat, I admit. Though I don't really have any control. I'm pretty sure if you hung around long enough you could have me figured out by the color," she said with a light giggle. "Light blue would look good on you, I think," she replied, blushing lightly, her hair fading to pink to match her blush as she said it.
Walking toward the register, Skye shot a glance up at Jack in response to her question. "If you want to call it living," she joked dryly. "It's a bit of a walk from here, though. I've kinda been out and about this evening while my Aunt and Uncle were out working. Oddly....people give you a wide birth when your hands light up," she said with another shy smile.
"Some company would be nice though. I mean, the odds may be low, but it would be my luck to bump into the one ***hole who'd test his luck." She smiled again. "I'd really appreciate it."

"When would I need to blind or deafen somebody?" she asked, quirking a brow. It made no sense to him, honestly.
"But no one deserves it. Not me, not you....nobody...especially over something we can't even determine." Her breath sharpened as she spoke, especially as Lee went on to...defend Blaine's opponent?!? The guy that broke his arm?!?
The red light began to gradually pulse faster as she looked up, eyes flashing. "Not that bad?!? Look," she rewound it again, then paused right at the arm break. "Right there. His form is wrong. He has his body placed to more easily snap the arm! And he's not that bad! He stole Uncle Blaine's career!" Then, she spoke about training, and how Blaine wouldn't have had as much training time...
The light pulsed faster still as she clenched her teeth with rage. And then....
BANG! Simultaneously, there was a flash of blinding white light, and a sound like a gunshot. Skye leaned against the couch, her ears ringing and her face pale. Her hands were shaking slightly.
"You....why did you..." she breathed, her hair now turning slightly blue. She wasn't even sure if she'd be heard right now. Skye laid her head on the arm of the couch, drawing her knees to her chest.

"Yeah, I try," she murmured. "Though I haven't done that in awhile. I think I'm having an easier time not letting things get to me. Well, not too badly, anyway," she said with a nervous giggle. Then, she listened as Maya told her a little about her powers, and she nodded.
"It's nice to meet you too. But I'll be right back," she said after a moment, looking at the clock on her phone before standing up and making her way to the back and grabbing Maya's check. Then, she grabbed her bag and went into the bathroom, changing out of that godawful yellow green, likely glow in the dark tee shirt, and those way too small black shorts. When she returned, she sat back down across from Maya, handing her the check.
Now, she was wearing a black hoodie, unzipped to reveal a navy-blue, somewhat low cut but better fitting shirt, and a pair of semi-tight jeans. After all, the object was to leave something to the imagination, right?
"So, if you don't mind my asking, what can you do?" she asked after a moment, deciding to at least stay and talk awhile. After all, she didn't have many friends, and she was kind of interesting.

"True..." she murmured, slumping on the couch a little. "I just don't like how it makes me feel after, or everyone in the room, for that matter. But...I guess I do need to get a handle on it." She smiled lightly. She cringed a little as the arm broke, even though she'd seen it so much she was almost desensitized to it.
She bit her lip a little, nodding. "It's just not fair....he could have lived his dream if not for them....and there. That guy that broke his arm? He actually made it. He had a title reign, but it wasn't much. Had a big retirement match....I think it was last week. Even though Uncle Blaine was a better fighter then than that guy could ever dream of being..." As she spoke, her hair turned red, the pulsing light picking up speed as the room glowed a deep red.
