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.

"Oh we'll take it easy on you all right. Wouldn't want to get you to work up an appetite and makes break again for potatoes." Smitty rattled out in his gravelly tone.
O'leary cackled as if Smitty said the most amusing thing he had ever heard, They weren't mean, but they played a solid game and didn't go easy on anyone, they both stove for the perfect game.
" so lets play an easy game of three oh one." Smitty didn't bother to ask if either of them knew the rules he just rattled them off. You take away what you land on from three o one and try to get to zero. hit the smaller rings for double.
Aedus watched David closely and presented his hold on a Dart to the man, simple. pinch with two fingers let the rest of them lay comfortable where they may, it almost looked like you were making the sign for ok except with a dangerous pin in your hand.
"Ok, well in that case let me just do a couple things really quick." Aedus went into a flurry of last minute detail motion. Aedus went and grabbed his I pod. With a glance at the kitchen he made sure all the ice cream and junk was put away. He slid his phone into his pocket and strapped his running shoes onto his feet,Aedus was ready to go.
He looked to the pair and was happy to see his little family grow a bit, they might not realize it but he would protect them like they were. Any and every chance he got.Aedus walked the pair out and locked up his apartment when they were ready. He followed them down stairs and out the door, he waited for Agnes to point them in the right direction.
Glad everyone is healthy, It terrible that all the stuff got lost, but it is sooo much more important she is alive to take new pictures!*sending love that way*
Rhys pointed out blandly. "it is cheating to use our powers when playing guess the power."
Lene replied."And how could I have applied my power to knowing her power."
"Oh hush, you two, you all got it wrong any how, her power is Charm."He looked at Noel to include her in the wrong guessing of her ability. Great Shamus chimed in and got up to wander off somewhere else.
Aedus scooped up some mashed potatoes and chewed them, he was obviously using Noel's mouth full of ham method...with a much less convincing food source. He went to scoop another spoonful and realized his plate was empty. When did that happen?
Lene jotted down his email and slid it across the table. " I'd like to discuss similarities sometime. It can be more common around here, but it is rare to find those with similar powers outside the family, so it'd be neat to keep in touch."
Aedus sat his spoon down and eaves dropped on Finn as he sat next to Cindy. He was eaves dropping on what dessert the man was eating.
He listened to the other discuss the faucets of memory manipulation, and waited patiently to whisk Noel away to sugar land.
A resounding plea of "no!" shout up from several of the guessers. A plump boy about the age of fourteen plopped down and starred at her. Aedus nodded toward the boy. "This is Lene, someone that I wanted you to meet anyhow."
He looked at her. 'Mind power...you haven't met them but you have. Do you know your sword the same way you know Uncy and aunty?"
Aedus nodded.
He rubbed his fingers together."hmmmm. You know stuff from other peoples brains."
Cindy. "oh! you've seen them so many times. You can read memories, like Lene."
"Thats not quite what I do Cindy. I find the ones you forget not the ones you remember." Lene said and Aedus raised his eyebrows(or where they should be anyhow) at Noel. If she wanted to try to find her memories with his cousin that was absolutely her call. He didn't know how to bring it up or he would have.He wasn't sure how sensitive of a situation it would be, he certainly wasn't going to ask in front of everyone.
Lene was up from Flordia, he wasn't sure if the boy was coming this year and he wasn't sure how long he was staying or how his power would work in conjunction with someone who had forgotten so much.
“Chase, I think you’ve got a shot at something even better than the school, and on top of you still get the school too.” He looked at them both. “ Sorry guys I am bad at subterfuge, it made me seem grouchy to you Agnes and after Agnes gave me the good news. Well, I couldn’t Keep it from you and I couldn’t keep hiding you from Agnes. She gets it.”
Aedus squatted down to Chase’s level. “if it is anything less than what they say it is, I’ll protect you from it, but to be perfectly honest. Agnes has your best interest in mind; she wouldn’t set you up to do something you didn’t want to. We will stick by you every step of the way, if you want me to, I’ll take some time off and stay at the school for a bit.”
Aedus would stand sentry for the kid if it made him feel better…if they told him where his parents lived he would do him one better and make sure that they never attempted to interfere in the boys life on penalty of death.
"Oh, we will, of course we will, I just thought that after the cranberry thing, you deserved to eat in relative peace if you wanted to, I should have asked. She would hunt us down if she thought I was going to introduce you to Shamus the great and not her and Da." He looked like he would rather face a hundred demons.
Aedus Grinned. It had been awhile since he had witnessed a game of guess the ability. It wasn't as if they were going to guess about the method and he would leave giving up details to Noel. He glanced around for anyone that would be able to pick up anything mentally and he didn't see any mind snoopers around.
Shae pipped up with "'Is your power the same as hers? where you can see stuff at remote locations?"
Aedus shook his head.
Rhys tapped a finger on her temple. " you time travel and have met them in the future...wait no. you said you haven't met them... you can posses people and you met them as someone else."
Aedus laughed and nearly choked on another mouthful of potatoes and peas. he covered his mouth before anyone could see inside. he tried hard to have manners at the table. He shook his head.
“Touche Noel touché..no eyebrows to braided eyebrows..I wonder if she can inflict a unibrow on someone.”{/color] Aedus nodded to the comment, He wondered if Noel would let him celebrate thanksgiving with her next year. Away from here and all the pomp. “Yeah, they like to do it big.”
Aedus smiled at Cindy, he had no Idea who Cindy was, maybe an inlaw…maybe a second cousin. Hmmm. “Yeah, I thought I’d let you enjoy one plate before mom interrogates us. About our plans.” Aedus smirked. Cindy however did not take the hint or the tone. “Oh are you too going to take the relationship to the next level? I wish Finn would get serious with me, you are lucky Noel.”
And now he recognized her, she looked different since she had aged a bit; matured a bit and all dressed up. He would have recognized her in a soccer jersey.
“Actually Cindy we are co workers, and I think Ma will have the same assumption you just made, except with a bit more enthusiasm.” His eyes turned to Noel. “ You can’t say I didn’t warn you about that part at least.” Aedus popped another potatoes into his mouth and enjoyed the best part of the event.
Aedus winced as he saw the young man take a tumble, on a packed floor like this you'd typically run into someone else before you hit the ground.While he felt bad for him he was pleasantly suprised to find that the hot blonde that he was dancing with headed their way, she wove her way in between the woman that he was dancing with and himself. She moved like silk, she was smooth. The girl with the blacklight eyes was watching her just as closely as he was and then he felt like he had ten more drinks than he had, he went from a nice buzz to positively smashed. He started to stumble and the blonde moved on. His dance partner in the tiny skirt was going down until she leaned forward to anchor herself to Aedus and it caused both of them to sink to the floor. with four legs to slow them they went down a bit more gracefully then the other guy, but it was crazy how it had happend...was it Blondie that did it.
Who cared? Black light was leaning her pretty little dizzy head on him. Happy new Year?
“Hmmmm. I dunno, eyebrows on obsidian? Seems a bit odd. I think I will just have to make the trip upstate after I go back to mr.clean. Though I am concerned I might get the princess hair treatment.” He knew how to solve it though. He had a barber that while he wouldn’t believe him when he said how it happened he would get him cleaned up quick.
As Aedus rounded the path, he kept one eye on Noel and the other on how much space he had on his plate and how high he could stack it before it was obscene. He had four kinds of potatoes plus other vegetation and a pile of meat. He happily took bread from an outstretched hand connected to a body he couldn’t even see. He pointed out the boys that were involved in throwing the cranberry sauce. They were working a huge ice cream maker pumping it up and down. It looked like slave labor from the expressions on their faces. After they had complete the food circuit he walked to the table, He grabbed a couple of seats toward the head of the table. It would allow them a quick exit strategy when they needed it.
“Well, if you want to cut it, apparently you can do so quite a few times until you are back to your old cut. And even then, we know who to call if you get a bad haircut and want to start over.” A smile came over his face. “And I very well may never have to go without eyebrows again! Erhmmm. That is probably the weirdest thing I have ever been excited about.” Aedus wrapped the hair tie around the end of the long luxurious braid and then stood back up.
He nodded to her last statement as they made way into the pavilion. “Yeah, It makes me wonder how we survive around each other sometimes. How I survived growing up. each ability on its own maybe isn’t the most powerful, though some are more daunting then others.’ He nodded at Noel’s braid. ” but once you start stacking them up and putting them together, it all becomes wonderland.
And then they were through the mansion and the looking glass into a spectacularly decorated pavilion and a wave of delicious aroma after delicious aroma. Everything was so mouth watering it made him want to just pull a chair up to the food tables. “shall we start to do the thanksgiving shuffle?” he nodded toward the line wrapping the pavilion with platter after platter of food that promised to leave even this amount of guests stuffed.
Aedus opted to keep his helmet on it was darn cold out, He was here for an inspection as much as he was to throw questions at the mechanic. Aedus hopped off the bike and rolled it over toward the entrance it obviously wasn't too hard to steal, as it had been stolen in the first place so he was going to keep an eye on it as much as he could. that said..he did buy the stolen bike with stolen money...that was a crazy night and not nearly as bad as it sounded, still bad mind you just not as bad as it sounded.
It would be nice to get in out of the cold, He liked the weather because he could put on a helmet gloves and all the other protective gear without sweating. He popped the helmet off as he entered. " Hi, this place came with a commendation from a friend. So, I thought I'd get my bike a tune up, see if you had any recommendations for upgrades, or even tell me what could be upgraded. I also had some questions about state inspections... this is my first Vehicle so anything you could tell me about that would be helpful."
He pretty much rattled off everything he had expectations of as a greeting, it saved them both time, if the mechanic didn;t want to deal with him, then he knew right off the bat who he was dealing with, and Aedus got to ask everything up front so he was sure not to forget anything.
Aedus rolled his eyes at the man. He reflected upon the fact that he had already lost to a barasita, but did it have to be a single match, there was no sweetie at the end. No, don't burn the coffee, its hot but you're hotter....no nothing just a cup of coffee and adoration.
Aedus waited until the woman's coffee man went around the counter, she seemed to appreciate his backside as much as gazing at him while he worked. "Is the coffee an good here miss?"
A glance at Aedus and she nodded. "Good coffee, better service."
" what do you recommend?"
"something fancy. He has an eye for detail."
"Oh? sounds like a plan." Aedus set his books to the side and walked to the counter, he glanced at a small mirror on one of the displays. She was happily reading her book again. He worked out, he jogged regularly, surely his rump was gawk worthy. Was he losing to a Barista?
He waited in line patiently, Maybe there was more too it. Maybe he should cut his loses and see if he could make her happy anyway.
Aedus had plenty to celebrate about the year, the next year would only get better. Could only get better. He didn't have a date for the night, but he planned on solving that before the night was up. The fellas had better hold their ladies tight towards midnight because if he happened to be the one who got to her first and her lips were free and willing he might just ring in the new year with a kiss and not long after a confrontation from an angry boyfriend.
He was looking sharp, feeling good, the drinks were flowing and the party was in full motion. The DJ was playing some wild Daft punk mix that had the hole place jumping. He had his eyes set on a large group of women. With that many surely there would be someone that might separate from the pack. He made his way over and as he got closer he caught one of the ladies eyes. Her hair was so black it was either from a bottle or a mutation. It had a blue sheen to it. When she looked up her eyes glowed with a black light purple tinge. It was one of the reasons he loved this particular club, not only did a mutation not get you discriminated on, but it got you moved more quickly through the line. sure he had to prove that he wasn't wearing orange contacts. but it was worth getting in.
He got close to the blacklight lady and let himself relax and just dance. Letting everything else fade into to the background was good for the soul, he wasn't worried about what was wrong in the world and how he could help to fix it, he wasn't worried about the thousands of weird events that had come up in his life over the last few months. He was simply dancing with a woman that had a fantastically small skirt on and knew she wore it well.
