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.

The lack of feedback on her hit was as puzzling as it was annoying. While she was no Sadist there was a certain pleasure in delivering a well placed blow. A satisfaction in all the hard work training had paid off. Instead there was nothing. His respect would have to do and she gave him a wordless wink in response.
With little enough time to enjoy the moment he disengaged and she fell into a semi splits as the heft of the naginata sailed over her head just in the nick of time. As it stopped she pulled herself up and quickly kicked off to launch herself into the air to clear herself out of the area for her sisters next attack from the other direction. However instead of falling back to the ground with gravity her power snapped into place around her giving her a deadly black looking silhouette that looked simply wrong in this universe.
Much to probably everyone's surprise instead of barreling right back in she slowly walked in a circle above the mess of a melee it had become thanks to her sisters zombies. The simple movement action to keep her from being an easy target from any thrown projectiles, powers, zombies, or students alike. Her main objective was in watching Saph very closely and keeping aware of what everyone else was and could do. While Hiyori hadn't faught anyone like the man Himari certainly had and that was worrying. Her grandfather also had a preternatural ability to sense attacks and that is what it seemed Saph was doing too.
Cute slime girl was slapped into the the skunk lady and she suppressed the urge to laugh. She was sure there was a joke there somewhere. She could tell from her peripheral vision they were circling in opposite directions at least. Slime was.. chucking bits of herself and the skunk was? Ah kami and ancestors! She took one of her decorative ribbons and hastily shoved one end up each nostril. The ongoing melee would have to go on without her as she sprinted over towards praxi and let her power go to land next to the girl and spoke just so she could hear her. "Hi, what are you trying to do? I would like to help." Not really sure what the effect her body would have on Saph if it struck, but with her mobility he was sure she could help the slime girl get closer or get better angles on Saph with her own power. "Can you stick to people? Like a backpack?" Gesturing to her own back. She wanted to keep her own hands and legs free for fighting and moving. If she could stick to Saph.. well maybe they could do better then the man expected, win even!

It dawned on Himari there was a whole.. chunk of the English language she seemed to be missing. She wasn't sure if it was an accidental subconscious social programming of Japanese to be conservative or if it just never came up or even more likely she slept through the class on romantic words and phrases.
So when Celesete tutted it only added to her growing embarrassment. Her cheeks still branded with nervousness and frustration as Celeste sought out a way to better inform her of her intentions. This whole thing was so nerve wracking she understood why in the few old dramas she had caught on tv why the girls fainted, and she had thought them weak!
Then Celeste made it abundantly clear what she meant. Date! Wait who had just asked who out?! Did it matter?! The fox in her head was running in circles as her heart burst and her butt wiggle happily in rhythm with her tail.
"Yes! I mean yes that would be great!" Without thinking about it she threw her arms around the galaxy woman and gave her a quick hug before blushing furiously and hastily pulling away. "S-sorry! I should have asked. I got caught up in the moment." Her Amethyst eyes sparkling a bit with tears of pure joy and a thought crossed her face and she was blushing all over again.
"I mean.. I have never dated before. So I might not be very good at it at first, and bound to make mistakes.. I not usually that good with people or had many friends, or good at talking to strangers.." Slowly murmuring quieter and quieter until she was talking to herself quietly in Japanese, tail curled about herself again as uncertainty grew. It wasn't often she endeavored to try something new and it always started off with lots of mistakes and hard won knowledge and perseverance.

Juniper was so totally wrong and she was determined to point it out. "Yeah but I can't walk through them."
"Hang on?" Glancing to the hand and just like that they were through the floor. WHAT?! She could even take people with her. Whoah this was way too cool and a bit scary.
The door annoyed her.. it was covered in football worship crap and it was the sort of thing she had come to expect from a womanizing meathead like Scott Summers. This was for women everywhere! After another trip through solid objects Himari decided she would never get used to it. Looking around at the room her nose crinkled as it smells weird too, but it could have been just her. OKay she hated everything about this guy it was official. Well not hate perhaps but strong dislike.
Then she was put in charge and she examined the room with an eye for disruption. "Hmm. Why don't you start fusing anything with drawers to the ceiling while I put some glitter in each of the drawers?" Moving to do just that, she opened the first drawer and took the lid off the huge container of glitter, very, very ,very carefully making sure not to kick it up too much or get it on herself. It certainly wouldn't do to leave evidence on herself! Once the dresser was complete she moved to do the nightstand.. then his backpack, then anything else she could find that was remotely container like.
"Oh! Think you could fuse the draws shut a bit, but make them break open when they are yanked? The meathead might just get a ladder to get his clothes and we wouldn't want it to be that easy would we?" She certainly didn't!

There was something to be said for people from a near tropical climate moving to what she would consider an Artic one. Awful. First she was limited in what she wore, much to her sister's delight, and second it meant exercising indoors. With all its associated foibles. The warmer weather couldn't come soon enough and she wouldn't feel like a prisoner trapped within walls.
Despite her problem child status she wasn't much of an active terror. Sure she would get in the occasional fight with a bully or slept in class, but she never crossed the line into actual nuisance. If she wasn't going to actively participate she wasn't about to disrespect the teachers so blatantly as that. Even if some of them didn't feel that way for her napping. It wasn't like she was distracting kids with her phone after all. There was just no pleasing some people.
She was concentrating on extending the heavy weight one handed horizontally away from her when she heard the teacher speak again. Unwilling to break her concentration to go any faster she made the teacher wait a few short moments to finish the defined path in her mind before setting the weight down, shaking a bit. "Hai Rivers-Sensei. The weather will not keep me from my training and.. it is difficult to sleep without exercising like I am used too. Yourself?" It was all stated very politely and without a trace of irritation. More dry amusement at the fact they were conversing at all.
It was undoubtedly the most she had ever said in the woman's or probably even another teacher's presence. Himari figured that was because none of them bothered to ask questions she cared about. The irony that her sister was a cat and the sociable one was never lost on her. Who said there wasn't a such thing as divine humor?
She took a moment to towel off her sweaty face, before settling into a stretching routine to ease her sore arms. The purpled darkness of her usually pink hair indicating she had already been at it for some time or indulging in some strenuous exercises. Her purple eyes watching the teacher politely now that they were having a conversation.. at least she thought they might be. What if they weren't? Akward..

When Juniper said she didn't understand some of her words she looked horrified as she was completely at fault. "N-no I am sorry I slipped back to Japanese for a second. Yokai means demon and Kawaii means cute. I tend to slip on certain words when I am excited or happy." Giving Juniper a huge lopsided grin and a shrug. She was excited for some girl time! Obviously not holding Junipers upbringing against her, that would be just rude!
"Awesome! I can give you my number and you can text me anytime." Thankfully her phone auto translated from English to Japanese courtesy of her awesome sister. She might even have to start carrying it around with her more! She was hoping for something sooner, but that was alright.
Instead of having to brute force the door open, which was where her thinking was going, Juniper did some awesome ghost stuff and she took the jar quickly from her exhausted looking friend.
"That was so cool! I will try to remember. That is like the best power ever!" She gushed and moved a bit away to check the coast was clear before offering a free hand to her. "Only one part done we better proceed to the next part. You know where Scotts room is so lead on." Looking way too excited to exact some childish revenge.

Himari thought the resounding no was a bit of an overreaction. America must really be rubbing off on Aoi, thought Himari before shrugging. "Then the fight can be postponed due to poor geography." Giggling a bit at her own joke. "Dunno! Never had to fight a bear without killing it before, might be fun!" Humming a little tune as they walked down the busy street.
Casting a curious eyebrow at Aoi before laughing softly. "It would be fun to do, but I was thinking more like eat some food, find a nice job and find someone nice to spend the days with. After I figure out a way to get word to my sister. Can't live my life without her around. Only probably have enough money for a few days of food and that is without including a place to sleep in all that." She stated in surprisingly pragmatic fashion. Clearly not too concerned with their predicament.
"A good meal can reveal the wisdom of the moment. Or so my grandfather would say." If it got the other girl to relax some it would be worth whatever she had to pay for it. Stopping at an ATM out of the way she fished in her backpack for a card that looked brand new and did what she had to do to get some currency and looked about. "Let's see if we can't find a little Ramen stand somewhere those are the best!"

Well if the rest of the targets were people who made girls uncomfortable with their posturing despite being sent clear signals that they weren't interested. Himari was doing the work of the gods and ancestors in her opinion. Giving people their just deserts completely guilt free was so very therapeutic.
There wasn't really much she could say in the attitude of sports.. most of the 'girl appropriate' ones didn't seem like her sort of thing. Volleyball? Yeah not getting into those skimpy booty shorts. Tennis? Chasing a ball around seemed a bit too much like a sport for dogs and therefore immediately disregarded. She would stick to her martial arts and underground fighting thanks.
At her great suggestion she grinned brilliantly. "I am convinced Yokai invented glitter to give clean freaks heart attacks." She thought a moment and added. "Oh! I think they keep the big bulk sizes in a supply closet and put them into smaller containers so they don't make a huge mess if they spill."
Himari looked a bit disappointed though when her new friend that was a girl was rather uninsightful as to what she did for fun. Maybe she needed to find some esoteric hobby to connect with people over.. something that wasn't terribly expensive too. "Ah ok." Managing to keep most of the disappointment out of her voice.
"That'd be the best yanno?! I wasn't allowed to do anything girly at all... but we can learn together that wouldbesogreat!" Starting off sounding sort of depressed before flipping it on its head and bouncing on her toes happily as they continued on towards the supply closet. "Oh maybe dark blue with kawaii smiley sun faces on the big toes." With her hair she felt like she had more than enough pink! It also explained why her ribbons were black. Contrast was beautiful.
Himari got them to the supply closet near the art rooms and looked around a bit before trying the door. "Fish guts, it's locked." Looking to Juniper for guidance.

Himari's eyes crinkled a bit at all the gems everywhere. The woman was a menace, a public service is what she was doing, no doubt about that! Plus if the woman was feeling better sooner she could punch her guilt free, win win in her book.
>> "This is very elaborate food"
"Some foods in Japan are as much ritual as eating or preparing. Pretty common for sick people though at home. Easy to eat." Eyes squinting a bit at the latter questions and humming softly to herself as she ate some of her own bowl. "No powers, but nature. Do not know all the English words, but gives body vitamins and other things to power it up and some things to make feel good. Others like plum change insides to make sickness not like body as much. All very healthy and good for you. Insides be strong and outside be happy. Grandpa helpt teach. What your grandpa teach you?"
Pink eyebrow parking querulous at her as they enjoyed the meal together.

English derogatives were not her strong suit and by golly there sure seemed to be quite a few! Instead of pretending ignorance she gave a little shrug, she had stated she was from Japan afterall.
"These people deserve it right and it isn't some personal... grudge?" Eying her friend with a bit of suspicion, personal vendettas were always a terrible way to go. It was so easy to get the blame traced back to you. Instead it was far more fun to exact revenge on someone else behalf.. like that jerk Scotty something, Summers. Ugh she was awful with names.
"Fuse things? Oh! We could borrow some glitter from the arts and crafts department and I could put in on the floor and you could make it so when they go to get the furniture down they get doused with some too!" An evil little giggle leaving her lips. Glitter was universally awful. "Do you know where Scotty Summers room is? He... was ogling girls and flexing like a moron at a football game the other day, or so I have heard. American sports are.. not entertaining to me." More specifically her girl! Not that she was really the jealous type, but that was some really crude tactics.
A little blush tainted her cheeks at the compliment. "Arigato uh thanks." Was someone bad at taking compliments? Yes yes they were.
"Oh that.. no me and my sister were sent here for other reasons." A trace of bitterness in her tone until she shifted the subject back to Juniper. "What is it you do for fun? Maybe when we are done you can show me how to do the toe paintings?" The latter requested almost shyly, she really didn't know how this whole friends and female bonding thing went. In Japan if you had weird hair everyone thought you were some yakuza girl and looking to get the wrong sort of attention. That didn't seem to be a problem in the US or more specifically the mansion that was for sure!

She realized it probably explained a little about herself that with tall the various attitudes regarding her mutation growing up she hid it and her personality was one of making people intimidated by design. She wasn't going to suffer more bullies in her life then she had too, and she didn't want people worshipping her for good luck or any of that nonsense. Here in the states that last possibility was far less applicable, but even fans were a worship of some kind. She wasn't the person she was because she wanted to be admired. She was simply trying to be the best version of herself she could be proud of and everyone in her life, but her sister seemed intent on tearing her down and preventing that.
So it was indeed far easier to hid then be mocked, vilified, or worshipped. It also reduced her to less then her whole. She relished the challenge of facing the world on human terms. Of the hard work she put into honing her body into fine fighting instrument. Being forced into the sudden situation she was in also made her realise she was facing the world with less then her whole being at that hurt on some incomprehensible level. Perhaps it was the true punishment of her exile to be so far from the outdoors she loved and forced into a city she couldn't be her full self and enjoy the scents, sounds, and experiences of a forest in the full of its season.
As with all things in life it was not all doom and gloom, she had her sister that despite being a 'demon' she loved with all of her being. Now she also had a romantic interest to maybe help ease some of the burdens on her heart. If her heart beating in her chest like a wild drum as Celeste spoke in her calm refined manner had anything to say she really liked the girl on some instinctual animalistic level despite not knowing her for very long.. or was that how it always was with everyone?! She had no idea.
Her eyes and ears tracked Celeste as she spoke and moved about. Amethyst eyes regarding her carefully and almost unbreathingly. A blush blossoming on her face at the compliments and her tail swished softly to hide part of her face again. Then Celeste spoke and she.. well she was pretty sure the galaxy girl had said something positive, but English was not her first language and her face got even redder until her tail and hands moved to cover them up again until she took several deep breaths and peered shly over her own tail. "W-what is 'court'?" The only court she knew of involved laws or kings and she really didn't know how they applied in any case.. wait was she royalty?! Instead of making assumption she waited for Celeste to explain herself!

Himari was exactly the sort of person to ask more about about how and why she knew about some secret man cave bar. Did the students have some secret underground club? Well now she was just.. miffed she wasn't invited. Maybe it was some exclusive place only the popular kids went. That sort of excluded students who punched bullies. Strangely enough some bullies were extra popular. Just goes to show how cracked the universe really was.
Was her new acquaintance just in the know or popular? Whelp she wasn't a nark whatever that was and it seems good. Oh that was a nice idea.. "Define.. turds? I am certainly able to help with that.. oh! I could nail the furniture to the ceiling! If they actually deserve it of course. If I am going to get in trouble for something I want it to be worth it." Grinning at her new companion and clearly no stranger to being in trouble in one form or another.
"The training? I mean I train for myself.. is that what you mean?" Holding up an arm and flexing a bit then looking at Juniper curiously.

Much unlike her sister she had no problem with looking around as everyone talked. The X-men were hardly any sort of military organization and she was far too irreverent, and unable to be at least marginally aware of her surroundings to just stare in one direction. Nor was she really inclined to share her life story with stranger's. She envied that part of her sister's personality quite a bit. If she had any of the other students in her classes she couldn't recall. If they were it was the ones she napped in. It was also probably for the best that the smart sister was the talkative one and she was more reserved in that department, who knows what embarrassing thing she might say! Actually..
So Megan was on babysitting duty, that was one person less she would feel bad about knocking out as gently as possible. Saph seemed to be sizing them up and their intention, not that she gave the man much to work with he still passed without comment. Her eyes tracking his odd limp gait. Battles were always by as much as what you saw before the first punch was thrown then any real tactics. Wait they were going to be able to fight him?! BEST DAY EVER. As a group.. well that was slightly less so. This was potentially the next crop of 'heroes' presenting a moral conundrum of trying to outshine her fellows to override her school habits to get on the team or help the others succeed? Sighing inwardly but not before looking somewhat over to Praxi.
Of course not to forgetting the iron clad rule of siblings 'turnabout is fair play' and embarrassing her sister.. "So what's a cute slime girl like you doing in crappy danger room like this?" Not that she didn't find the girl cute.. Throwing a wink the slime girl's way too just for good measure before shucking off her generic gym t-shirt and tossing it to the side showing off more of her very fit and toned body, and thankfully a form fitting sports top exactly like other female fighters used. She would have liked to test Saph out a bit, but she knew it someone was already charging in and.. of course it would be her sister. Instead of sighing she laughed with a shake of her head and darted in.
Much to anyone who remotely knew her surprise she would be keen on playing a very annoying matador, using feinted sharp jabs to push him into accepting hits from the others to avoid hers and to punish him brutally the second he stopped keeping his eyes on her. She figured it was the best way of ensuring the others actually learned something from the little bout and to ensure it didn't end up as an ego trip for Saph as he crushed everyone. If it came down to a one on one fight between her and the older man.. well then she could cut loose. At the moment however team play was the game and she could feel the flow of things better than any of her peers. She wasn't about to over commit without knowing the extent of Saphs powers however.

The first student, Megan didn't seem thrilled to be here. Probably coerced into doing it like so many things at the mansion. Were they going to be fighting one another? Himari could do her the favor of knocking her out and sending her to the infirmary early on. That was nice of her.. right?
Then, leave it to little sisters to be embarrassingly uncool! With a suppressed wince at her sister Hiyori's yell she waited her turn. Teachers were human, and X-Men were human.. well mutant.. whatever! They both went ow when you hit them so she was less reverent. Respect could wait until the teacher actually did some teaching or fighting. Any John Smith could be good at dealing with minor criminals. She wanted someone capable of taking out 'super' villains' and to be that person herself.
Next up was skunk girl! She at least had a good reason for being there. It all sounded a bit like an anime hero's origin story if she bothered to read much anime. The occasional big weekly mag was about all she bothered with, but that much much was difficult in the states. More likely she just hadn't the money to go buy a couple volumes.
"Himari, free movement, to fight." Simple and to the point. Ok her power description wasn't wholly accurate, but it was enough for near strangers to know. It would also stay that way if she had anything to say about it! She also didn't think she was really X-Men material.. not really. She didn't think they wanted someone like her in the X-Men due to the simple fact her classes were less then a top priority for her and that was putting it mildly. Waving a hand then re-crossing her arms to indicate to the next person to go ahead and wasn't about to share more.

It really was very Celeste. It was the first thing she thought when she had seen it, but that had seemed too forward? This was an entirely new experience onto another new experience, the stress was most multiplicative. A very cute girl she had a crush on, the fact she could crush on someone at all, being in someone's room that she wasn't related to for the first time, she was in a girls room she had a crush on, her crushes panties, and now of course the fact she was showing off her 'real' self to sed crush with no idea how that particular nugget was going to be received.
When it turned out the question to the last was, well it just removed some of the stress. Only shoot through the roof as the gorgeous swirl of galactic colors moved to hold-touch her hand. Himari's face was burning with embarrassment and nervousness, the scarlet far too evident on her pale features. Ears zeroed in on Celeste now that she was close. Was it her heartbeat that was pounding so loud in her ears or Celeste's. Her hearing not being that good she decided on the former. Ugh why did she have to have feelings now of all times?
The tail gently curled itself away from her face and swished nervously against her side. "Not your fault it is all mine. I am embarrassed though. Been a long time since I have gone all kitsune without meaning too that didn't involve a dog." Her words carefully measure and full of emotion to keep from slipping into full Japanese mode and shuddering a bit at the mention of dogs. Nodding a bit at the mention of being able to stay. "Thank you, I appreciate it. It was not easy to grow up looking different so now I hide my true self I suppose." The warm hands very comforting and she took a deep breath in some minor attempt to settle herself down.
She didn't want the celestial woman to think it was her fault in anyway and forced herself to keep speak. "You are not at fault at all. I am just very nervous. It is my first time in someone else's room and it is a bit overwhelming. Especially since.." Another slow deep breath and her tail moved to curl about her body. "Especially since I have a crush, or romantic feelings for you." Making sure that was unambiguous as possible since English was neither of theirs first languages.
"I know it seems.. unusual for it to be so after so little time together, but after having to endure so many terrible people in my life it is pretty easy to pick out the.. wonderful ones." The pause required to think of the english word. Having relieved that all off her chest in her usual honesty and sincerity she felt much better regardless of the impromptu admission. Her face angled down some, bracing herself for shock or outrage or any other million emotions that could pour forth from Celeste.

Oh so not jet the gemstone, but as in a real flying one. One that she had borrowed for her own reasons and more importantly the fact it belonged to the school and the blonde hadn't been expelled was an impressive feat. "Flying is interesting." Not mentioning her own involvement in stealing a jet. What a strange thing to be kindred spirits about.
"It appears as though our situation and thoughts are the same." Though in her case it was more finding people boring or uninteresting then the inability to concentrate. What was there to concentrate on when you were sleeping?
She took a second to consider Juniper's question before answering. "I lived on one of the southern islands so the climate was warm, warm enough to grow citrus fruits in fact. It is hard to describe quickly. Lots of culture." Her grin managing somehow to grow at the thought of Ohio.
