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.

Emma stood by and watched to see how little Emma was doing. She watched as the now female Ranger comforted her, dried her off with the towel, and made her smile. She was scared, but okay and adult Emma was glad that it wasn't worse. Emma listened as female Ranger explained the new power after being de-aged, which she found to be cool as hell. She kinda wished she could move that quick if she needed to. She wondered what other things Ranger could do. " That sounds pretty neat and will come in handy caring for a toddler. I'm glad little Emma is okay. So what all can both of your genders do?", she said. Emma then ran over, grabbed female Rangers shoes that she literally ran out of, and jogged back to them. She handed them to female Ranger. "Hopefully you have another pair in your bag that will fit your feet better. If you don't, you can borrow a pair of mine. I don't live far from here. Or you might get lucky and find a pair when you go shopping for some more clothes for little Emma. Unless, you can shift back at will? Do you need anything or my help with anything?", Emma talked with female Ranger. She looked over at little Emma and smiled at her as she talked. She wanted to reach her hand over and pat her, but didn't want little Emma to be uncomfortable or Ranger to feel that way either, given that both didn't know adult Emma very well.

Emma watched as Ranger yelled out to little Emma as she had climbed on the fountain. Ranger's yell caught little Emma by surprise and she fell backwards into the water. Emma gasped when she saw her fall and immediately started running toward the fountain to help her. Little Emma may not have been her daughter, but anyone that wouldn't run to help a child like in this instance was soulless and definitely needed an adjustment.
Emma ran pretty fast. She did go running everyday and worked out a good bit so she was by no means slow, but she was no where near having super speed as her power. Ranger was beside her at first, but suddenly he blurred as he ran faster than anything she had seen before. As she continued to run, Rangers's shoes flew off. Before she could make it to the fountain, the blur of Ranger came into view again; except this time Ranger was no longer the tall man that Emma was once talking with on the bench. Instead in his place, Ranger was now a very attractive woman and was hurriedly grabbing little Emma out of the fountain.
Emma could hear little Emma's cries as the fall had startled her and she was now all wet. Emma finally made it to the fountain, looked at little Emma and now FemRanger, and asked both of them "Is she okay? Are you okay? I was so scared. My heart dropped into my stomach. I take it that the super speed and gender swapping is your thing, Michael?"
Emma had a towel in her backpack and she quickly took it out to help dry off little Emma. She had is for the days when she got really sweaty after her runs, but she hadn't used it today. Unfortunately, she didn't have any kids clothes for little Emma to use as Emma didn't have any kids. The great thing about Central Park though was that you would be near somewhere that sold children's clothes. Then, again, maybe FemRanger was prepared and had a spare set of clothes in her pack. Children were often messy or had accidents so Emma figured spares and overpacking of things came with the territory when having kids and becoming parents.

Emma followed along with the conversation, nodding her head and smiling at Michael's understanding. She was glad that he wasn't upset with her. Emma couldn't imagine going through memory loss often, like what Michael described about his wife. It was a good thing that she used journals as a means of remembering when it did happen. She watched as Michael looked down at his tattooed ring finger and she read the name Noel. She hadn't met her before, but you could definitely see the love that Michael had for her in his words and the look on his face as he read her name on his finger. Emma hoped that one day she could find a love like that in someone. It was a very rare thing to find and something so special should be cherished.
Occasionally, Emma would glance over to little Emma playing as they continued in their conversation. She noticed that sometimes Emma would edge just slightly further as she played. Kids oftentimes would get lost in their imagination and not realize just how far away they were getting. Emma had nodded her head as she was telling Michael about her Mom, when she suddenly realized that little Emma had made it over to the fountain and was leaning way over.
Emma grabbed Michael's arm and exclaimed, "Michael! Emma's at the fountain!" She pointed over to the fountain as she spoke, panic rising in her voice. She wasn't aware if little Emma could swim or not, but knew that children around water could be dangerous.

Emma nodded her head as Ranger mentioned that he and his now wife had also been attacked with memory loss. Emma felt pretty embarrassed and her cheeks flushed a bit. Of course he was married and had a kid also named Emma. She hated that she had just walked up and made a whole awkward situation. She needed to remember to tone down on her confidence a bit and don't assume every attractive familiar guy or lady is someone she's been with.
She listened as Ranger set his daughter down and told her to go play, bribing her with what she assumed was an adventure in walking their pet dogs later. "You're have a beautiful daughter, Ranger. I'm sorry for the mixup and being crude. Hopefully little Emma didn't overhear me. I didn't know you were married. If I had remembered correctly, I wouldn't have said what I said.", Emma apologized, cheeks still flushed a bit.
Once her memory of Ranger came back to her, she realized that she didn't know him all too well, but that she certainly did feel like he was someone she could trust. She could feel that when she danced with him that night in the dance hall before his evolution into a living cat walk mannequin, aka a Victoria Secret Angel.
Emma looked over at the little girl as she played nearby. And then Ranger asked if the snafu of that night was caused by her. Emma looked up at him, but she had the image of his transformation in her hear. It made her chuckle just a little, but she tried to stifle it back and regain her composure. "Yeah, that was me. It was so not on purpose. It happened when I fell and you caught me. Hopefully you weren't too upset. Maybe it was a funny evening and memory for you. If not, I'm really really sorry. I've gotten to be a bit better with my power management now. I do still have a hiccup every now and then. Did you and your wife have a hard time regaining your memories too after being attacked?"

Emma watched as the man blinked, coughed and denied having hooked up with her before. She suddenly saw a toddler come into view as she walked up. Emma leaned back as the man picked her up. She smiled as the little girl introduced herself and held her hand out. Emma reached out, took the little girl's hand, and gave her a firm shake. Not so firm as to hurt her, but firm as in a decent handshake and not sloppy.
"My name is Emma, also. It's nice to meet you." , Emma said. She let go of the little girl's hand and looked at the man to address him. "I'm really sorry for the misunderstanding. My memories are somewhat still fuzzy at times. I was attacked. My memories were gone and I somehow became 27 again. You seemed familiar so I thought we had had some fun together before." Emma made sure to mind her language. She did not want to be the one responsible for a toddler asking what hooking up meant.
Emma took a long moment looking at his face and processing through the memories that Ty had helped her get back. She thought through Ty going through items in her apartment. Suddenly, a memory came to mind of Ty holding a feather, a feather that was blatantly obvious to have been part of a kind of show girl costume. Then the memory of this man transitioning into a fashion model Angel in a dance hall became clear in her mind. His name also came back to her.
"You're Ranger, aren't you? I remember you now. A friend named Ty helped me get a lot of my memories back and it's still hard trying to process them all. I still had a feather from your fashion model costume that night in the dance hall. Does that seem right?" Emma tilted her head slightly with a puzzled look on her face as she spoke. She waited for him to confirm or deny her realization before letting herself relax. She unconsciously held her breath, hoping that her memory of him was correct. She had a lot of anxiety trusting that her memories didn't get scrambled in her head. She tried to be patient with herself, but it was overwhelming trying to keep all her new/old memories organized.

One of the first things Emma did after arriving at Central Park was making sure to sit at one of the fountains and enjoy her coffee. By the time that it took her to walk to Central Park, it had finally cooled off enough for her to drink it without scalding her mouth. She drank it slowly, enjoying the full flavor and robustness. She filled out one of those online quizzes for a coffee company and they picked out a few selections of coffee to be sent to her. She had just received them the day before and she picked one to try this morning. She made a mental note that she really liked this brand's roast and would definitely order from them again. She watched the fountain and some people as they walked around or were obviously cutting through the park as bike messengers or bustling to work. After a little while, she finished her coffee. She rinsed her cup out at a nearby drinking fountain, closed the lid tight, and put it in her bag. She walked out to a nearby path, stretched, picked her playlist, and started out on her run.
Emma had been jogging around Central Park for a while. She had found the right music for today. She was jamming out and had found the perfect pace for her jog. She had been running for about 30 minutes when she decided that she would slow down and walk around for a bit. She would make up her mind later if she wanted to continue jogging or if she would call it finished for the day. She had been listening to music on her phone with her wireless earbuds, but they died on her. She took her ear buds out of her ears and slid her backpack around and put them in the front pocket. She needed to be better at remembering to plug them in at night so they would have a full charge to last all day.
As she was finishing putting her earbuds up and walking forward, she suddenly heard someone call her name. Emma slid her backpack back around and looked up upon hearing her name called. She had heard her name not just once, but twice. And it was followed by a come here. When she looked up, she saw a man sitting on a bench with a backpack set next to him. She was slightly confused. He seemed familiar. Was he one of her possible one night stands? It must have been pretty great if he wants her to come over. Some of her memories were still kinda fuzzy so it's possible they had met before and she hadn't really remembered. She slowly started to walk over towards him. Emma sat next to him on the bench, smiled at him and said "Hey! You seem really familiar. Have we hooked up before? I guess I must have been pretty memorable for you to see me in the park, remember me, and call me over. Were you interested in maybe coming back over? I'll make sure I won't forget you this time." Emma leaned in a little and bit her lip, flirtily.

Emma's life was going well. She had her usual routine of work, her daily jogs in Central Park, and just chilling at home or nights out at a bar or two. She was finally figuring out the wonkiness with her power, or at least she tried to tell herself that. She was still susceptible to the occasional hiccup when she was overly anxious or felt backed into a corner. Those times were rare now that her gym workouts helped to boost her confidence. She felt strong and aptly able to take on anyone if she needed. The past few years had been rough and she was not about to become vulnerable again to anyone.
She was now a 27 year old woman instead of being 36, which is how old she was before being traumatically de-aged. Thankfully, there was a mutant who helped her regain her memories through his power with object memory. She would forever be grateful for Ty.
Emma woke up at 8:00 am to start her day. She grabbed a quick shower, got dressed, and walked out with her small cross body backpack and her travel cup full of coffee. Today was her off day and she wanted to start it off by jogging/walking around Central Park for a while before she grabbed some lunch and ran some errands. Amongst the huge city, Central Park was just so green and open with fresh air. It was her place to just feel free. A place to feel like you can get lost to wander and explore, but still familiar enough to not make her feel anxious. She loved it here so much. It really helped her get through her trauma. She still has to fight everyday to not let those painful memories of what happened flood her brain all day.
Emma sat for a while and started to relax. People watching was great. She could be critical in her head and not cause too much trouble. The mall was very busy, but her mutant sensing was pretty dead. If there were mutants around, they weren't near enough to her. Then again she wasn't exactly moving around.
She was starting to get bored, seeing as she finished her coffee. When suddenly she felt her right hand tingle crazily as she heard a chuckle and a nice looking guy walked by. She smirked at him and wondered to herself if he stole that outfit off of a mannequin from the men's warehouse store. He definitely wore it better, but he seemed too confident, erring on the side of cocky. He could be fun...to steal a power from or anything else. She wasn't too picky. As long as he didn't try to sleep with her.
She walked up to counter, standing behind him. After he placed his order, she placed her hand between his shoulder blades, smiled at him sweetly, and offered to pay for his order. She also added a regular coffee with cream and sugar. She liked her girly drinks from time to time, but regular coffee was great too. It might be even better because then you could actually taste the quality of the bean and roast.
She stepped to the side, next to him as they waited on their orders. She needed a better way of finding out what powers she was getting. Obviously the whole bestow and watch thing was getting old. And there were some that weren't so obvious, like when she turned her Texan dance partner into one of those Victoria's Secret Angels that strutted down the catwalk in those ridiculously huge wings. Maybe she could just ask. That was simple and easy. I mean...she had to try something new, right? And she didn't have any better ideas. So she leaned over slightly and whispered quietly to him, "So what kinda mutant are you?"
Emma had been having a rough week. She hadn't been able to close any deals on any of the houses or apartments that she had been showing for the past couple months, so her boss started giving her grief about it. And some days he just didn't know when to lay it off. To top that all off, she came home from work to find out that her Mom had secretly been contacting her Dad. Not only that, but that her Mom had decided that she was gonna move back home with him. He fed her some lame-ass apology for cheating and swore he wouldn't do it again (which Emma knew was complete bullshit), but her Mom believed him and said she missed him. It ticked Emma off, but she wasn't gonna try and force her Mama to stay. If she wanted to leave, she wasn't gonna stop her. She tried talk to her Mama, but she wasn't listening to reason. If she finally realized that he was a scumbag and wanted to come back, she knew where to find her.
Emma decided that she was gonna go to the mall to try and blow some steam off(or at least get distracted so she didn't have to think about it all). She slammed her apartment door, following an argument with her Mom, and stormed off to the nearest subway. She glared at anyone who bumped into her, soon got frustrated, and decided to just walked the rest of the way to the mall.
Emma got there soon enough and made her way to Sundough's coffee shop. She needed a large caramel iced coffee. When she got her order, she sat at an open table. She never understood why the company decided to have open umbrellas over their tables when they're inside a mall. Regardless of their reasoning, it just seemed to be another thing that irritated Emma. She started drinking her coffee, people watched, and looked around at shops she thought about visiting. She hoped that doing so would help her start to relax some.

Emma was happy to hear that he and his partner had such a relationship that he could dance with her without raising any jealousy. He lead her to more dancing and she was enjoying herself. This time he spun himself as well and suddenly she noticed the room lit up. Emma stopped spinning and watched as Ranger was lifted into the air. He shifted into an angelic-like model complete with rainbow sparkles. As Emma witnessed this, she muttered to herself, "Fuck me. I knew it was too good to be true. I should've known I must have bestowed someone."
Emma slowly walked up to Ranger and walked around him/her, looking him/her over. When she came back to in front, she asked, "Are you okay? Why aren't you freaking out? Is it shock?"
Emma then noticed that people were staring and the music stopped. She wasn't sure what to do now. Should she tell Ranger it was her? If she did, he might get angry with her even though it was an accident. Emma resolved to wait and see how s/he took it before confessing to anything.

Emma giggled as she saw the cab driver struggle to keep his eyes on the road while she and Agnes were getting pretty hot in the back. Just when Emma thought that the ride wouldn't hurry up and end, it did and Agnes motioned over to a huge building. Opening the door and mentioning that she lived in the penthouse, Agnes then nudged Emma's nose sweetly. Emma smiled and eagerly climbed out of the cab. She began to quickly make her way to the building.
Emma grinned mischievously at Agnes and said, "If you live in the penthouse, then you surely have enough room to keep us busy for at least a week. Hope you stocked up on groceries cuz I'm not gonna wanna leave til you get tired of having me all over that penthouse." Emma stopped and pressed Agnes up against the building, kissing her hotly. She kissed and nibbled her neck, pressing her hips into Agnes and pulling her hair slightly.
Emma slowed and stopped long enough for them to get into the door. Emma didn't really pay attention to any of the decorum in the entrance or ground area of the building. She was looking for either the elevator or stairs. Quickly spotting both, Emma looked to Agnes to see which she would use and followed.
Emma's whole body was burning with desire. The closer they got to Agnes's door, Emma was more and more tempted to just start peeling Agnes's clothes off of her. If people were looking or staring at them, Emma didn't notice. She was soley trying to keep clothes on long enough for Agnes's penthouse door to close. After that point, all bets were off.

Emma took a sip of Ranger's beer and really enjoyed the flavor. She order one for herself as well and paid the bartender for both of them. When zhe got hers, she squeezed her lime into her beer and shoved it down the neck just as Ranger did. She took a few sips and talked with Ranger. She was glad to hear that he was still happy to dance with her despite being knocked over by an absent-minded couple.
After a few moments of enjoying her beer, Emma decided to bring up a question to Ranger. "I'm glad you enjoy dancing so much. Do ya think your lady friend would mind if this wasn't the only time we danced?...I mean, if I could contact you to see if you could dance with me in the future...Not like a date or anything. Just dancing.", Emma sputtered out nervously, "She could come too, obviously. I don't want it to be weird or anything. I just like dancing with someone who knows what they're doing."
Emma blushed slightly from nervousness and being slightly embarrassed. Ranger was a nice looking guy and all, but she didn't wanna take him home with her. She respected his lady friend and didn't wanna cause any turmoil in his relationship. Maybe they could become friends and then it wouldn't be so awkward. Emma sat there quiet for a moment, not sure how Ranger would react to her blabbering.
She had drank most of her beer when the song changed. It seemed to perk up Ranger's attention because he stopped mid sentence, finished his beer, and asked to go dance again. Emma was pleased that she hadn't run him off with her request earlier. She smiled and took his hand as they began to make their way back to the dance floor. Maybe this time it wouldn't feel like they were at the bowling alley.

Emma smiled and bit her lip as Agnes's fingers trailed her body. If sin was the volume knob on a guitar, Emma was beyond ready to get somewhere and turn it up to eleven. Emma was usually a patient person and could restrain herself, but Agnes knew all the right ways to tease. Trying to keep patience around Agnes was about equivalent to the attention span of a toddler--which isn't very long.
Emma gave Agnes's booty a nice smack as she bent over to climb into the Unter. She then climbed in herself, leaned in, and started kissing Agnes's neck. She could tease right back. After a few minutes, Emma leaned back against the seat and smiled over at Agnes. "That's the most fun I've had while sparring. I think I managed to learn a few things too. How about you, Agnes? Or are you waiting for the bedroom to see if you learn anthing new?", Emma said flirtily.
Emma occasionally would run her hands through Agnes's hair and give her kisses or reach over and claw her thigh seductively. She hadn't paid attention to how long time was passing by, but it felt entirely too long to Emma. At least with her being so turned on. The anticipation was killing her, but she could tell that Agnes would be worth it. There was no doubt that by the time they got done, both of them would be spent...at least for a few hours anyway

Emma pulled the blanket around her shoulders, smiled at Jack, and said, "You're very welcome, Hun. And sure, let's meander over to the ferry. How's the past few days been for you? I hope they've been going well."
Emma started walking to the ferry, wanting to carry on conversation. She wanted to keep her plans mostly secret, but she would have to see how much she could actually hold in, considering her excitement. As Emma walked, she was thankful for the hot cup of coffee warming her hands and face as she drank it.
She looked over at Jack with the smile that never seemed to leave her face. Then she casually reached over and held one of Jack's hands as they walked. If anyone did give her any odd looks about her affection, Emma didn't notice and didn't care. She was happy to show off her affection. If anybody had a problem with it, Emma would cheerfully and promptly tell them that they could kiss her ass.
They finally reached the ferry, got their passes and waited to be carried over to Block Island. She found a nice bench area inside a viewing area for them to sit together, out of the cold. "So what's one thing that you'd like to do when we get to Block Island? Outside of the other things that I may have planned for us.", Emma said with a light chuckle.

Emma smiled and was quite grateful for his kindness. She stepped around the couple that had bumped into them as she followed Ranger to the bar. She thought about what she would order and wondered if the couple had ruined Ranger's mood for dancing. She had hoped not, but would ask Ranger what he wanted to do after they had their drinks.
When they got to the bar, Ranger ordered a nicer Mexican beer. When he got his drink, Emma asked, "Could I try yours to see if I like it? I don't know if I want a beer,something a bit more fruity, or something straight."
Emma sat on one of the bar stools for a moment, listening to the last bit of the song playing. She then turned back to Ranger and said, "I hope that couple that bumped into us didn't ruin your mood for dancing. I was really enjoying myself out there. Or maybe we could find another dance hall if you'd rather go somewhere else."
