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.

Jorge had never gone toe-to-toe with a file cabinet so, needless to say, this was a rather interesting experience. The man fought, hard, but he was making little headway against this particular piece of office furniture. Thankfully, just as he felt the shock of the situation wearing down, there was a sudden burst of movement off to his side and the cabinet went flying off to the corner. Jorge breathed a sigh of relief as he felt air enter his lungs again. Damn that thing was heavy.
He moved into a sitting position and looked up to see, of all people, Kealey Quinn. The man had worked with her a couple times before so it was rather interesting to have seen her in such a way. He never had seen her take a flying leap at something like that before. He smirked thankfully as he moved onto his feet.
>> "You alright? I'm all yours…”
He nodded in response. “Yeah, thanks to you,” he grinned and then turned to check on Shawn. The silver manipulating X-Man had just finished impaling a rogue chair.
>> “There's still a lot of people in the building, I figure I'll look for the one who's not freaking out."[/color]
>> "I can manipulate clothing. So, I can probably shove some furniture around from a distance. Tell me where I'm needed."
>> "Ok...Is that a filing cabinet? Never mind. Jorge check the cameras, see if you can find him. Me and Ami...Amelia right? we'll keep people safe and Kealey you can help Jorge. Once you find him, hopefully before the power goes out, we'll all move. Questions?"
Jorge stood back and let the elder X-Men members hash out the details. He had to admit that he was a bit impressed with the crew they managed to get in for this assignment: he had worked with Shawn before and he knew this abilities fairly well, Kealey would be quick to find whoever was causing this, and even the young girl (Ami was her name?) had a pretty valuable skill there. Together they should hopefully be able to keep people safe and find whoever was causing this whole mess…
He nodded as directions were laid out. They were running out of time quickly. A glance to Kealey and he motioned for her to follow him.
“Come on, if we can locate him on the cameras and at least get a general location, you can use your powers so that we can narrow down the search,” Jorge said as he turned and headed back to the security room. Once inside, he began to move through the cameras on screen and started the search for their mysterious culprit.

>> "Suuure...I'll just entertain a whole pack of direwhooooaaaaah! Hey!"
Jorge scarcely heard the young X-Man as he bolted into a run. The large, white albino wolf was simply not having him move so fast. But the detective knew that if he had kept his pace slow, he never would have made it to that water. The creature was programed to stop him and it was going to do so no matter what. So, whether he was fast or slow, it didn’t matter. One way or another, it was going to attempt to maul him.
Might as well at least get that attempt over with.
>> "Bad dog. Sit. Oh, you have not been domesticated yet. My bad."
The voice was lost to the breeze to the point that he didn’t really hear anything that Gawain had said. Instead he was focused so intently on his own task at hand. He needed to get to that source of water since it was really going to be his only weapon in this frigid environment.
The wolf was mad, though. It eyed him as if he were nothing but a bloody steak so Jorge did his best to focus on that sense of water ahead of him. If he could get just close enough to it in order to grab ahold of some, then he knew that he would be fine. But he needed to get there first.
Growl erupted and the alpha was barreling directly for him. Jorge’s lungs burned as he tried to force himself to keep moving, despite the sluggish feeling that wanted to creep in with the cold. But he didn’t allow himself to stop. Instead he ran on, charging forward and kept his eyes focused on what was ahead. Sadly, though he would already see the wolf gaining speed on him. There was no way that Jorge was going to make it. Not without a distraction.
He ran. The wolf closed in. Jorge looked him dead in the eye and waited, praying and hoping that this was really going to work. It was not until he saw the wolf make a flying leap towards him, did the detective skid to a halt. He gasped as suddenly he took on his boxing stance, curled his fingers into tight fists and waited until he was damn sure that he was not going to miss.
Fangs, saliva, a gapping mouth, that was all Jorge saw as he shout and lashed out with his own punching first…straight into the nose of the beast. The creature yelped and skidded away, gasping and pawing at its own nose in pain. Jorge cringed and shook his hand, trying to shake off the numbness from striking something that hard in such a hard manner.
But, the wolf was effectively distracted as it growled and paused at its now bruise nose. Jorge grinned as he ran, reaching his hands out…and seizing control of the water…

Jorge
Jorge was actually a little interested in this meeting. He, of course, had heard about the X-Men, that was his whole motivation for coming to New York. Even when he joined the X-Men, he found the situation completely surreal. But now, this was different. He was actually going to meet the first X-Men, those for which the school was named for, the team originally put together by the Sister School’s enigmatic founder, Professor Xavier. This was going to be extremely interesting.
First though, he had to survive the car trip with his fellow fawning X-Man, Maya aka Mirror. The young woman was practically bouncing of the walls of the vehicle as they drove to the site of the new school: Jean Grey’s School for Higher Learning. But Jorge said nothing to stifle her excitement. He had to admit that he was a little curious about this place too.
It was a known fact that there were probably more mutants in the world than what Xavier’s Sister School could handle. It helped that there was a place they could turn to if Xavier’s ever reached a point of being at capacity. Yes, it was needless to say that Jorge respected the X-Men, all X-Men, and he hoped that they would receive the same treatment in return.
When they finally arrived though, even the detective had to raise his brows in awe. The place looked like something out of a science fiction novel. The tech they displayed seemed to be far beyond anything that Jorge could ever imagine or come close to understanding. He had to admit that even though he had yet to met the faculty of this school, he was already more than impressed with what they were able to accomplish.
Maya was out of the car before Jorge could blink and he smirked as he climbed out as well. Dressed in just his leather jacket a loose t-shirt, and his jeans, the police officer looked very casual as he strolled up to Maya’s side and looked out over the entire school. This was definitely going to be interestin—
Greetings, visitors. Welcome to the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. Excuse us for the mess. Pricipal Pryde will be with you momentarily. Please make yourselves at home, and avoid the inter-dimensional portal of evil demons in the garden. Everything is under control.
Jorge blinked in surprise as he turned around, trying to find the source of the voice. Having had little experience with telepaths, it took him a moment to realize that someone was actually talking inside of his head. Someone that was NOT[/b] him. That was only slightly unnerving but the detective was fine.
Umm, hello. Thank you for the kind invitation, he thought back, smiling a little in the process. Must be awkward to convey emotion when speaking in someone’s head. Then again, if they are reading your mind, more than likely they already can read your emotions to?
