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.

Rayne glances at the bunnies shopping cart and also sees that he is grabbing things like her. Interesting but also not seeing as they are both down the same isle. Kind of figures that he would be getting the same things. Someone moving in or changing things up always needs new things and colors to match whatever they are doing. "Yeah looks like it." Says this when she looks at him.
Rayne goes to ask him if hes just redecorating or just moving into a new place when he offers up that information before she can ask. "That very true. I moved in not too long ago and only went to buy things when I found out I needed it or it was missing. Now I just want a change." That and she kind of destroyed a few other stuff so instead of the same colors, time to switch it up.
Even if he had his tail on display, Rayne would probably just glance at it, not stare. Then again...bunny. For Rayne though she was dressed in dark tight jeans with some rips in it along with a Brantley Gilbert t-shirt that she modified to have the neck hole a bit wider to hang off a shoulder along with a leather jacket. Its still cool outside. "Though my shower curtain wasn't missing."

Rayne hasn't met that many mutants yet. Just ones that are easily noticeable. A metal man, green guy, a girl that has changing color hair, and now bunny guy. Then again, Rayne goes from work to home usually if she doesn't need to hit the store or anything else. Well that and the library. Not all information is correct on the internet and she needs all the correct information she can get.
"This store does get people lost from time to time, especially when you aren't used to it. Took me a while to figure out the areas too." Her first time here, she wandered for over an hour to find things. Back and forth from each side to make sure she picked everything up she needed for her apartment. This place should label their isles better or at the least put them in the same places as other same items. House hold in one area, bathrooms in another, kitchen in their own...so on and so forth. Nope, this place is everywhere.
When he asks about cleaning products Rayne nods. "Yeah cleaning stuff is about 2 or 3 isles down from here. I'm heading that way after this one." Rayne notices the small twitch of the nose and the ears moving from time to time. Her predatory instincts push forward a bit but Rayne just nudges them back. There is no need to attack this human bunny. He isn't prey and this is a mall. Besides, he hasn't done anything wrong besides bump into her which she isn't taking offense too.

Rayne needed to hit the store today, she couldn't put it off any more. Doing laundry every two days would be expensive and she needed things too. Towels and some clothing, maybe some hardware too. Her microwave is dying slowly and old, though new to her. Found at a garage sale, so not very reliable but very cheap. So far, looking at things here, its not cheap.
Letting out a sigh, Rayne pushes her cart and goes to grab some towels, a deep purple and a darker red color too. Before moving on Rayne also grabs some hand cloths and dry towels, also the same color. Moving a bit down the row she finds some rugs. That might be helpful, no more cold feet at night or the morning. Rayne grabs one in each of her red and purple color before moving on to the soap isle so she can grab that as well as some holders. Gotta stick with the color scheme.
Turning the corner, Rayne moves towards the side of the isle since there are other people and blocking others isn't very nice. Pausing to take a look at everything there, the contraptions to put her soap bottle in, Rayne gets bumped into by someone. Luckily she was able to stable herself fairly quickly before looking over at the person who ran into her.
The first thing she sees is the bunny ears and Rayne has to tilt her head slightly at this before looking the phone in his hand. That explains why he wasn't paying much attention. Glancing back at him and not the phone Rayne shakes her head and has to hold back her eyes from flashing her cat eyes at the bunny ears. Instinct rises with more forms and she has all predatory forms right now and she is learning another so while its not hard to push it back, more like a nudge, it will be harder with many more. "No harm no foul. You ok?"

One shot one kill on this drawing. Perfect. No wasting time on anything else then. "Ok, if you are sure, lets get started." Rayne moves to lift a latch and pushes open the waste size wall that blocks people from just walking in, so that Skye can come inside. "Follow me and we can get started."
Once Skye gets through, Rayne closes and puts the lock back in place before leading her to her studio. Inside the walls are a darker purple with a white desk like dresser and paint all over the top, in order of colors. There is a black table towards the corner and in the center is a black leather chair, like a message parlor would have. There is also a small metal rolling cart with paper towels and a squirt bottle and cheep razor. Bendable lamp near the cart and a few more in the corner.
"Ok you can have a seat on the chair if it works with you, or I can shift it around for the table if you would rather lay down."

Rayne watches as Shelby throws the binky away and raises an eyebrow. Strange to throw something away that needs to be kept clean...then again she seems very confused. When she is handed a whole wallet Rayne goes straight for the license and nothing else. To her, while she was given the whole wallet, it would be an invasion of privacy.
Upon seeing the ID though Rayne freeze for a good few seconds. There is no way this ID is right...it says shes around 30..not 20. Plus she looks so much older here. What the hell is going on?! Her thoughts are chaotic before looking at Shelby.
"You don't look or sound like you are high on something, so I don't think you are..." Rayne was going to suggest that she pull over and is glad when Shelby does on her own. "Look, I think something happened in that store that is making you forget. Its the only explanation for everything."

There are many ways to be heroic and not al are sacrificial. He could have left to keep him safe or left to go help other people. She was not going to jump to the worst conclusion. When he hesitates as he speaks, Rayne understands that she misunderstood him. He didn't just leave, he died. Well she is not going to bring it up again, probably not good memories.
Rayne lifts her hand and gives a slight lazy wave in goodbye before making her retreat to her own section, though stops when she hears him again. Turns on her body halfway and nods to him. "Names Rayne. Nice to meet you Elliot."

Rayne has seen so many clashing personalities with peoples appearances that nothing really fazes her much. Big burly biker guys or bouncers who come in here getting a tattoo and they can be extremely polite or have very low pain tolerances. Then again she has also had business guys who look like they were raised right come in here like a jack ass. A mixture of things. "I can work with this Skye. I'll be back in about 15 minutes, give or take."
Turning around Rayne heads back to her own room and puts the paper down before gathering all her pencils and paper then turning on the table light. Places her paper over the drawing and traces the outline so make sure its exactly what she wants before taking the drawing and putting it on the wall with a tack in a corner to not ruin the original then begins her own additions, taking some things away and adding them too.
About 20 minutes later, comes back out and over to the desk. "Skye." Says her name to call her over before placing finished drawing on the counter for her to look at. Its not colored, just sketched out. "This is what I have right now. Let me know if you want anything changed."

Well cities come with traffic, a lot of traffic. Can't dodge that unless its storming or lots of snow and people are too scared to drive or a riot is going on and people are hiding. Yeah, don't ask. Rayne doesn't buckle though, even after seeing Shelby do it and the cops coming towards them. They had more pressing matters to attend too at the store than seat buckle not buckles.
When Shelby says she has no idea what is going on and that she at least hasn't gone insane, Rayne isn't too sure about the second one. She might have gone a little crazy since she doesn't know much about what is going on right now or how she has the keys to a car she said she doesn't own or anything. "Right well, let me see your ID so I can help figure out where you live at least." Someone there might be able to help this girl. Maybe she has a medical condition that makes her forget sometimes? Like amnesia.
"You didn't drag me into this, I came to you to help with your leg. Looked like you needed it. Also, this is New York." Rayne keeps and eye on her but more so at the light. Cant have her freaking out while driving, then both of them could be in some very serious trouble.

"Inspiration works wonders when you draw. It's what gives people the picture in their head to put on the paper." Rayne says as she look at al the books on the shelves. She hasn't been down this isle after the first time looking for her own books. She likes art, yes but after doing her own research a while ago, she doesn't want to mingle hers and others.
"His stuff was left behind? What happened? Move out?" Like was said before, art is in the eye of the beholder. Kicking paint around, could technically turn into something or it could not.
Rayne nods slightly when he explains what he does with the paint and all that. "Copy but don't copy, best way to explain it." Pauses for a second then nods to the books. "I'll be a few rows down if you need to find something else."

Looking at the drawing again, Rayne has to agree that letting the colors flow would be the best idea. Keeping it together would look good, but it wouldn't be the same as opening it up. "Ok, I think that would be the best choice." She will make a drawing herself on the paper that she can put on skin so that she can see what it would look like without color though, to be 100% sure.
Rayne nods at her pain tolerance. "Ok good. It wont be too bad with the shoulder." Not being one to downplay the pain, Rayne likes to prepare her clients for everything so they cant surprise her and she doesn't surprise them. Surprise in a tattoo parlor are never good. Whether in the drawing itself not looking like it should or the client who twitches and flinches with each strike of the needle.
Taking the paper in her hand, Rayne stands back up from a leaning position and offers her hand to the girl. "Alright, my name is Rayne and I'll be the one taking care of your tattoo today. Why dont you have a seat while I go draw this out so you can see what it will look like when its all done. Give it a final yes or no, change something if need be."

Rayne shakes her head slightly. "I think you misunderstood me there, sorry." Pauses to think a moment. "When I meant copy it, I meant the style not the art itself. Learning from the old masters and new ones help you figure out your own style." Well at least, that was her opinion anyways. Rayne likes some of each so she kind of does her own thing with the flare of others when it calls for it. That's what shes a sought after tattoo artist. She can give the client what they want.
People who did sell bananas taped to a wall did need to stop. Its just fruit that will be garbage a week or so later anyways. Waste of money. To her, art takes time and it should look like something. Though she wont tell her clients that. What they want is what they get. Its their body its going on.

Rayne didn't understand why Shelby was in this much pain from one needle mark. It wasn't a vert big needle and it wasn't like it went in multiple times. Maybe she just had a low tolerance to pain? Or whatever was in the syringe is painful. Whatever it was, Rayne was going to try and get it to someone who might know what to do with it to find out what it is. Who yet, she wasn't sure.
Staying close to Shelby, Rayne walked by her, keeping an eye on all the chaos going on around them. Fires, lots of kids running around with no signs of parents. It was a very strange night.
Rayne keeps going a few steps before she realizes that Shelby stopped behind her, frozen. Looks back at her and raises an eyebrow. "You good?" It's almost like Shelby doesn't know where she is...The heck is going on here?
When Rayne hears the keys jingle jangle in the purse and Shelby pulls them out in surprise, even the words 'I have a car?' come from her...nothing is making sense anymore. How does one not know they have a car? It's something Rayne cant dwell on right this second though, the sirens are getting very close. They should be seeing them in a minute. Give or take a few seconds.
Goes with her but pauses at the door after she opens it. "If you didn't know you had a car...are you sure you can drive?" Really doesn't want to crash or anything. Plus the fact that if the police see the car leave and decide to follow, she had to hope that Shelby knew how to evade and drive fast and under control. Does get in the passenger seat though, knowing the cops are coming and Rayne really doesn't like cops much.

Rayne nods as she answers her questions. Ok it seems like she knows what she wants when asked. Before Rayne can ask her where she wants the tattoo, its already answered. Good. Even better. "Ok do you want an outline around the heart or let it flow?" This should be the last questions, at least about the tattoo anyways.
It should be a quick tattoo, as in less than 2 hours. So long as this girl doesn't have a low pain tolerance and all that. "How is your pain tolerance? The shoulder hurts less which is good, but I need to be aware of the levels so I know how fast or slow to go." It also lets her know the pressure to use and how many times to go over something.
When walk ins come inside here, usually they just want something they made up in their head and she has to draw it out a few times for it to be perfect for them, how they imagined it. Always forget something to add to it. Rayne is glad that this girl brought in a picture to use.

Hes right, you cant force something to appear to be something. It usually will look like something else entirely and only sometimes look like its supposed too. This new style of art...its really pushing the envelope. Now the older arts, that's something anyone should be proud of. It took skill and style to do. Not just take a picture with lighting or throwing paint everywhere.
"I can't paint, but I can sketch. If I could paint like the older masters, I would have a new job. Probably." Pauses for a second. "Well maybe." Rayne really likes being a tattoo artist.
Classes can help with ones ability to draw, but they also need to branch out on their own too. "While you aren't in class, try looking online for something to copy, but make your own at the same time. It helps." That's how she learned really before it just clicked for her.

Rayne nods, "Taking classes always helps so long as you put the effort in. Though don't be rigid, let the drawing flow or it doesn't work." Rayne did take some classes but to be honest with herself, she just always knew how to draw.
Glances at the book he is holder and wrinkles her nose. She likes art, yes, but a urinal is not art. It will never be art. The next one he looks at is a Jackson Pollock and nods some. "A messier art but its all about the artists point of view."
What Rayne does is sketching and drawing and some tracing if a client wants something specific and not hand drawn, always boring though, too stiff. "What are you trying to branch out too exactly?" Painting is different than most things since its all strokes of a brush and mixed paints. She's curious as to what he wants to do.
