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.

Hugh sighs discontentedly as he looks upon the fake ID again. Drew Peacock. It had to be Sabine’s work. Don’t get it wrong, it was a good pull. Honestly he was sad he didn’t think of it first to give to a subordinate himself. It was all in good fun, really, but he would have to make sure to think of a surefire way to get her back. Maybe something involving tiny confetti of drooping @$%# and filling every inch of her office with them?
Lovely idea, really. But back to the matter at hand. After finding his extra shirt in a cabinet drawer (finally), Hugh proceeded to slip it on over his lean, but muscular frame, covering himself up fully in front of Ranger. Shame. He hated getting dressed so quickly in front of a pretty face. But a happy married face he had to respect.
Hugh cackles a bit at the anecdote about the camo panties. That sounded like Karl alright. He could only shake his head afterwards. ”Agreed. Some people only have taste in their mouth,” he laments. ”He’s pretty cross with me since my government issued attire keeps getting blasted off my body,” he laughs. ”Not my fault they can’t stand the heat.”
With a sigh he finishes looking over the file before shrugging and grabbing his phone. He had a few numbers memorized. What was the name of that saucy redhead that worked in catering? Angie? Sheila? Oh wait! He remembered now. After taking a moment to dial the phone, he holds his finger up to Ranger to gesture for her to be quiet, and then speaks over the phone once it is picked up.
”Ah yes…is mademoiselle Paprika there?” he asks over the line. His expression then turns into a wide, almost feral grin. ”Ahhhhh there you are my little spice blend…” He exudes charm over the phone. After some playful back and forth that makes it sound like he is trying to get on her good side after not contact her for awhile, Hugh continues. ”Yes…next weekend. Of course, chere! But listen, I may need your help with something now…”

Hugh smirks a bit and then takes his file back from Ranger. Holding it up he flips it open and begins to go through the information as Ranger recites it. She was right. It seemed like a simple enough operation to get in but the rest of it was going to be a nightmare. How on earth were they supposed to just manage to get into the good graces, or even vicinity, of the KMn without drawing attention. The aliases look solid enough – or so he thought. He paused when he read his.
Eyes narrowed, he took out his produced ID and turned it around to show Ranger. It had Hugh’s face on it and all the information looked real enough. There was just one glaring thing that should have managed to get, well, anyone’s attention.
”Drew Peacock?” he says, repeating the name. ”Let me guess, Sabine had a hand in crafting this fun identity, right?” He shook his head. Touche, Sabine. Touche.
He returned to listening to the steps that would be involved to get deeper into the area. It was all fine and dandy that they had ways to get into the building but their covers were only going to go so far. They were going to need further help. So, Hugh took a deep breath and reached for his desk. There he pulled out a few, messy looking files and set them on the top.
”We have a way in, yeah? But we need to get around…” He mused as he looked through the files. ”I can make some calls. I know a few people who work these kinds of catering events. I’m sure they would love to pay me back the favor the owe me and get us deeper into the building.”

So Hugh had a bit of a reputation. It was well known that the three-legged SUPER agent had the unfortunate reputation of A.) often being caught naked on camera, and B.) Absolutely flirting with anything and everything that moved. Often when new people were transferred into the department, they were warned ahead of time of this man's particular endeavor, but they were also told that he didn't cross any inappropriate lines. Hugh was more bark than bite but he was still a good agent and could be relied on in the field no matter how one felt about him. So it was of no surprise that he didn't outright recognize the now female-gendered Hunter, and definitely of no surprise that the flirtations would begin.
At least that is until Hunter revealed himself and Hugh looked at the unopened file on in his inbox. Oops.
"Ah...I was out on field all morning. Had not read the reports yet." Ziiiip! Pants once more are back up and closed. However he still seems to be taking his time getting a shirt on. "KMn, yes?" He asks walks over to take up the file that had been in his inbox. "Do they have preference on how they want us to go in?"

Now this was awkward. Things with the mutants had been going pretty quietly these days. Yeah there were those criminal ones that tried to make an easier life for themselves by bending the rules, but thankfully that was why an organization like SUPER existed. Today, for example, there was some mutant "mastermind" who called himself "Acidrose". Some blob-like fellow who wanted to get back at the world by melting his way through a couple of local bank vaults. The guy was disgusting with rotund, semi-transparent body and only his bones floating around inside. The police and even the MRC were having a tough time so they had to call in the real heroes.
Of course that means the X-Men! But even they get caught in traffic, even in that stupid jet of theirs. So, in the mean time, SUPER, and one of their star agents had arrived on the scene.
Yes. Hugh Manning was there!
Hugh was often tasked with taking on the seemingly impossible for normal humans to handle but he always seemed to find a way through the impossible; after all, why do you think he was at the Mystic attack on the mansion? And this case seemed to be no different. Regular weaponry such as rifles, grenades, smoke bombs, none of it seemed to work! But thanks to persistence and trial and error, Hugh had the perfect answer: a base-infused quick foam! The concoction, which was good to slowing down crowds, would be perfect for stopping this blob-like mutant! The only thing was that it required a bit more closeness than any but Hugh were willing to partake in.
It was not a pretty sight. In the end Hugh's plan worked and they had managed to stop Acidrose, but at a great cost -- Hugh's clothing. It seems that Acidrose's blob-like substance was very acidic and quickly ate non-organic material. His clothing, being more manufactured fibers, quickly suffered. So of course than meant a walk of shame in nothing but a coat and hanging-by-a-string boxers back to headquarters.
That was where Hugh was now. In his office, dressed in fresh, heart-patterned boxers with pants pulled up past his hips but the zipper all the way down and open. He was just pulling a shirt off a nearby coatrack when he turned to see a rather charming beauty peering in through his doorway. Now, Hugh is known as a bit of a lothario, so the military man quickly grins, little caring for modesty, and nods his head.
"Ah, hello dere!" He grins. "Mission bussies? Are I not de lucky one." He still has not zipped up his pants. "You, mademoiselle, are?"

The assault rifle had done surprisingly well against the stone golem, picking away at joins until finally it fell into a useless heap of pebbles. When the final piece fell, Hugh planted his boot upon its slowly unmoving head and smirked. Placing his finger on the comm, he replied to Sabine.
"I guarantee, buy enough drinks and there'll be plenta makin' out." He winked...not that it could be heard over comes...he knew it was heard.
Hearing a shout as a mutant is begin chased by a trio of mystics, Hugh quickly used a free hand to grab the tranquilizer gun at his side and fire off a few darts. One found its mark but of the remaining two, who had himself covered in some kind of living magical metal turned and flew after Hugh.
The agent released another dart but it merely ping off the metal. He then shrugged and pulled up his rifle again.
"So much for going quietly," He grumbled and then begin peppering the mystic with armor piercing rounds. Nonvital areas...of course.

Hugh The agent ruled his eyes as he stands out in the lawn with the rest of the mutants. This whole operation seemed a little counter intuitive... at least where he was from. But he guessed strange times and all that. Either way the agent had volunteered, much to everyone's chagrin relief. Of course they needed his help.
In his tactical gear, the gun-toting agents sighs as he chews on a piece of gum. The sound of Sabine voice fills his ear. Of course there was no direct intelligence. He rolled his eyes.
"Startin' ta think this is a bad idea, chere," he responds through the comm to Sabine. "How abouta kiss if I survive?"
He grins like a cheshire...that is until the Mystics touch down. First a void of blackness opens up on the lawn and then a golem of stone come charging at him. Still chewing the gum, Hugh runs, raises his rifle and begins unload round at round into the stone creature, expertly dodge and firing at joints until chunks of the golem began to fall.
Despite his success, Hugh could only feel that bad feeling growing.

Oh the twinkle in his eye when Pippa uttered that simple, beautiful, thought-provoking word - blow. He couldn’t help it. He watched her as she spoke and the second she uttered it a devilish smile pulled tightly at the corners of his lips. Pippa was a serious one but so much fun to bat around. He had yet to really make a play for her. She was his type, physically anyways, but he made it a rule to not shit where he ate, as crude as that sounded.
Still the rise and fall of her chest, the delicious curve of her outfit, and the frustrated look in her eyes was enough to cause him to consider the possibilities.
He shrugged his shoulders at her annoyance however. ”Dese days, a meme is comparable to a celebrity. I take what I can get.” He grinned broadly as he sat up a little straighter.
It was all fun and games but at the end of the day, Hugh was a good agent and an excellent soldier. Back in his original universe he earned his ranking with sweat, blood, and tears. Now it seemed he was going to have to re-earn some that trust that kept him on a long leash.
”Okay. Since it would be crying shame to keep your gorgeous face etched in frustration da rest of your born days,” he took a breath and opened his hands towards her. ”What would you like me to do to ease your suffering, cher? Business wise, dat is.” He smirked and wagged his finger at her. ”No unprofessional suggestions now, Ms. Swan.”

Now, there were plenty of reasons for Hugh Manning to be currently distracted -- and they all had to do with the lovely P.R. representative attempting to chew him out. The first and most obvious of them being the twin headlights she bore. They were hard to ignore. But Hugh preferred a subtlier approach -- namely her voice. Her voice was lovely, soft, a little high, but it was that which acted upon the soldier’s imagination the most powerfully.
What did her voice sound like in the throes of passion? A couple of different scenarios raced through his head, attempting to pull out the sounds from her current speech patterns and piecing them together into shouts of ecstasy. Ah but it was no match for the real thing. No matter how much he imagined.
Guess he would have to eventually work on hearing the real thing. When she wasn’t snapping at him in her adorable voice, that is.
She finally finished chastising him, to which he responded, quite casually, by pulling a pack of gum from his jacket pocket, unwrapping a piece and popping it into his mouth. As he chewed for a few moments, finger held up in a sign to her to give him a second, he finally replied when the gum had thoroughly lost it’s integrity.
”Da same thing dat’s been happening,” he said with a shrug. ”I get a couple high fives, a few giggles, some phone numbers thrust into my pockets,” he winked as he pulled such a scrap of paper with such a number on it, ”Den I get completely forgotten once da next celebrity debutant drops her guard und an upskirt picture plastered all over da news.” He clapped his hands once, offering her a smile. ”Case closed und nothing to worry about. It will blow over, Swan. Dese things always do.”

He continued to watch Pippa as she tutted about. He had explained everything in his report and made it quite clear that it wasn’t his fault. Sometimes these kinds of things just happen and there is little you can do. So long as he wasn’t running around with his schlong out for just everyone to see on the norm, then he didn’t know what the problem was, or why Public Relations needed to be involved.
But, even though his musings, got the jist of what she was saying. Videos made it to the internet that made the organization look back. The unfortunate truth was that he did look a little like a crazy person, fighting the open air because the vampire mutant didn’t show up on recording devices. Still, he wasn’t going to let that get him down. He waited for her to finish before he spoke up.
”First of all,” he said with a deep sigh. ”I think you're over exaggerating. It's not like I was out for a brisk stroll, helicoptering to everyone for shits und giggles. I was attacked und I did what I had to do to subdue an active threat”
Maybe there was a bit of the old S.U.P.E.R. training still circling in his actions. He came from a world where the organization had a much more active and preventative presence. To see a team of S.U.P.E.R. agents tracking a mutant out in the light of day was actually lauded because they were keeping people safe. Sadly it seemed that this revised edition of his company went a little heavy on the touchy-feely aspect that he found exhausting.
Hugh then tilted his head back and looked at her even more closely. A fox-like grin stretched his lips. ”Und second, you certainly looka legal to me,” he clicked his tongue and winked before he turned back to checking his nails.

Plop. Hugh planted himself in the only chair in the offer, long legs raised to hang over the side of the arm while he pulled off his sunglasses. He smirked, chewing on one of the temples, as he watched the blonde bombshell give him the most frustrated look. That didn’t take long at all. Normally these conversations were all blushes and charm but Pippa was clearly a no-nonsense type and went straight to business.
Shame. He would like a little more back and forth.
His face grew a more serious look as he nodded his head. ”Finally! I’m glad to hear dat,” he said with a firm nod. ”Get back some control in dis place.”
However the conversation eventually turned to the subject that he A.) wasn’t anticipating, and B.) wasn’t exactly surprised at either. He sighed with slight frustrated as he turned his eyes away from the busty beauty and turned his mirror glasses around in his hands. Of course they were going to bring up the videos again.
”None dat I can think of, cher.”
Sure there was that bit of inappropriate conduct in the copy room the other day, but he certainly wasn’t going to incriminate himself further. Finally he placed the sunglasses on the edge of his nose, folded his hands on his flat stomach, and peered at the P.R. representative from over the rim of his glasses.
”Lissen I've already explained what happened in my report.” He said this with practiced skill, clearly having had explained this story multiple times already. ”I had wild crazy sex all night with a stripper. I didn't know she was seeing anyone. Da mutant came home und wouldn't lissen to reason. I defended myself und somewhere along da way I lost my underwear. Really not dat much else to say.” He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and flashed Swan another smile. ”Not my fault she didn’t appear on camera.”

Well, for the most part it seemed like his job was done. Though, to be honest, he actually wasn’t out on a job. He had been pulled into a situation that he was forced to finish, or others were forced to finish for him. The vampire mutant had not been an assignment but once she got aggressive and went on the attack, ignoring several warnings for a S.U.P.E.R. official, she made herself an assignment.
Besides, he did the public a service. Destruction of public property, disturbing the peace, threatening innocent lives, the least she needed was to spend some time in a holding cell until she calmed down. Then again, maybe that was what she was already doing in Mr. Blue-Tongue’s pocket.
Hrm. Maybe he’d be interested in joining S.U.P.E.R. They could use a mutant with abilities like that.
But first he had to get the two to cooperate. As it turned out it seemed that his boxers were in no way coming back. Whatever weird fetish the blonde had, more power to her. He wasn’t going to judge. And the other, the guy, he seemed aloof to anything that was really being said. His insistence that they were dealing with a real vampire made things more difficult and Hugh really didn’t feel the need to continue to argue that the vampire was just a mutant.
Do so would probably only dig him deeper into this mire of madness.
At least Zek was cute. Hugh had done worse. An invitation was offered -- return the vampire to the precinct and there could be a little reward in store. At least one of which would be a view of Hugh in his silk, leopard-print boxers. If anything that alone should have been enough of a temptation.
In the end, both Juniper and Zek seemed apparently up for a show. Hugh arched a brow, eyed the two of them, and then shrugged his shoulders. ”Well, not my first threesomw,” he beamed. He then turned and waved down a taxi. As the yellow cab pulled up, he turned to the other two. ”If you both are interested in continue da conversation, please hop in. If not,” he turned back to Zek. ”get dat vampire down to da precinct. She’s going to be need to be held until all dis is cleared up. Got it?”
He then climbed into the cab. Whether they joined him or not, it didn’t matter. To be fair it didn’t really matter what happened to the vampire. Again, she wasn’t on the official S.U.P.E.R. assignment. At the end of the day, all that Hugh knew was that he needed to get home and into a change of clothes.

Now it would be folly to say that Hugh was a perfect agent. He wasn’t. He knew that. But it wasn’t the fact that he was perfect, it was the fact that he got results. Sure, sometimes it was a little unorthodox, but in his time working for S.U.P.E.R. in the AVverse, he had earned a reputation for being one of the more costly assets, but a reliable one nonetheless. That being said, trips to H.R. or P.R. were not uncommon for the Louisana-born soldier; back home.
In this universe? Where he was now stuck? This was the first time he had incurred a call from P.R. But that was fine. He hadn’t rocked the boat too hard so he doubted there was anything for him to have to explain. Probably just another brand check-in with staff to see what the internal operations thought of their image in this universe.
Which was fine with Hugh Manning. He was happy for any excuse to chat up the short and busty P.R. rep, Pippa Swan. They had only met in passing a handful of times but rarely did their paths cross (probably Sabine’s doing as she was the jealous type).
Strolling through the S.U.P.E.R. offices, Hugh sauntered with all the confidence of a gamecock. Dressed in dark gray jeans, a white shirt, and a leather jacket, he wore his badge on a silver chain around his neck, each step of his heavy boots making it bounce against his chest. Looking through the metallic, mirrored glasses, Hugh shot a grin and a smile to all those who passed him (at least the pretty and handsome ones).
It didn’t take him long to find the office of one Pippa Swan. Without knocking (he was expected, remember), Hugh opened the door and stepped inside with a brilliant smile adorning his bearded face.
”Good morning, cher!” he greeted in his thick, cajun accent. ”How is da sweetest und most buxom beauty ever to grace da halls S.U.P.E.R. doing dis day?”

Great. His underwear was being held hostage. Normally Hugh didn’t mind an incident or two or public nudity on his record, but given that SUPER was in the midst of rebranding, it was probably better that this situation was rectified as quickly as possible. He had no problem diving into the blondes sweatshirt to grab his property but such an incident of manhandling out in public would probably earn him a few scowls back at the office.
Le sigh. It seemed he was going to have to improvise yet again.
He shrugged to the blonde. ”Feel free to keep dem, cher,” he sighed. ”Though you should know they sat on da floor of a cheap stripper's apartment for several hours.” Also, it touched both of their faces. May the odds be ever in their favor.
His gaze swept back to the male and his funnel cake. He joked about wanting to see the leopard print back at Hugh’s place. The soldier smirked, his head tilted as he watched the younger guy give him the once over. Unashamed, Hugh stood there, waiting until their eyes met again -- at which point he winked.
”If you wanted an invitation to my place, you had to just ax,” he said with a laugh.
However, he moved past the younger man and approached a street vendor that was selling tourist clothing of New York. He had been in the process of opening up his stand when the commotion happened. He only snapped back to it when he saw a very nude Hugh Manning approach. After a quick interaction, Hugh produced some money from his wallet, took a pair of sweatpants and slipped them on rather haphazardly as he approached the duo once again.
The guy figured the vampire to be dead anyways (vampire and all) and Hugh rolled his eyes. ”Dere is no such thing at actual vampires. She was just a mutant having a shitty morning.”
Then again, she did put the public at risk so a trip to the police was probably in order. A doughnut was offered. Hugh lit up.
”Oh! Thank you. Haven't eaten all morning und I burned beauxcoup of calories back dere.” Taking up one of the chocolate twist doughnuts, he bit into it with satisfaction. Lissen,” he said with a mouthful of doughnut. ”If dat mutant is still alive, I need to take her into custody. She was disturbing da peace und put beauxcoup of lives at risk. Can you produce her again?” He asked and then waggled his brows with a wicked smile. ”Cooperate und you may get to see dat leopard print after all.”
