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.

((OOC: Neena and I will be posting a bit of an intro for Tric's arrival to catch her up and what's happened. Afterwards, we'll give a head's up for all those interested in joining the X-Men or a part of the X-Men to start entering the scene.))
Tricity placed her palm on the scanner next to the door, waiting for the ID to recognize her prints. The familiar electronic click sounded and the lock released a moment later. She hauled the baby bag on her shoulder once more and put her hip into the door, slowly pushing it open.
The room was still the same. Chairs surrounding the large table in the center of the room. All business. Ah yes, the coffee maker was still there. Tricity mentally turned the appliance on, setting the baby carrier at the head of the table before heading over to the enticing aroma.
It wasn't long before she had her cup of energy and patiently waited for Neena, as she sat on the table playing with Sevion.
Tricity smiled as the familiar headed her way. The poor thing was buried in folders and papers... No doubt the welcoming kit. With a giggle, she helped Raina by passing the baby to Johnathon who held him out like an active grenade. "Hey Raina! It's great to see you too."
The familiar smell and sounds of the mansion gave her immediate goosebumps. This is where she belonged... "Oh, Raina.. We need the X-Men together. Run around. Try and find as many of them as you can, including those who might be interested in joining the team." She turned to Johnathon, switching the loads they both held. "You make an announcement about the meeting. Tell them they have 20 minutes to get to the War Room, ok?"
Tricity gave a nod to them both and quickly headed to her room. She quickly changed Sevion and grabbed a baby bag along with the carrier to meet Neena in the War Room before the most important meeting that would follow right after.
Tricity felt a little bashful as the young man stuttered from her appearance. She nodded to the girl who introduced them both... and the slide. "It's great to meet you guys." Nodding up at the slide, Tric smiled and looked back at them. "Didn't mean to interrupt the fun. I'm surprised there isn't a line of students all waiting for their turn."
"MISS TIPPER!!!!!" Janie came barreling across the yard and skidded to a stop, jumping in between the small circle they'd made for introductions. "Miss Neena said she'd meet you in the War Room. She said she could get the X-Men together if you wanna."
Tricity pulled the girl into her side for a quick hug. "Thank you, sweetie." She looked back over to the mansion with a slight sadness for all the heart ache that place had ever seen. "I think that would be best..." She turned her head to face the others once more. "I'm sorry to cut the introductions so short. I think it's best I get settled in and have a chat with Neena about all the happenings since I've been away. It was great to meet you three."
Tricity giggled as the teens collided into one another, twisting into a big ball of limbs. She picked up Sevion and moved across the lawn to the ice slide where it seemed the process of untangling began.
On closer inspection, Tricity realized what a massive piece of work this ice thing was. The constant tingling in her body became apparent as it always did when she was around any form of water. Repressing the constant electrical surge in her body, she touched it with her open hand as the other held the baby. A harmless shock ran through her fingertips. Solid. And.. freezing... 'Ice manipulator.' With a smile, Tric turned back and nodded toward the teens. "How ya doing? Everyone still in one piece??"
Tricity walked across the lawn, waving to the various people who were outside when her ears caught the exhilirated sounds of people laughing and screaming. It was then her eyes fell upon the massive... ice slide? the students were thoroughly enjoying. 'Awesome.'
However, her attention was taken by a young man who waved in her direction. His face was familiar, but a name wasn't coming to match it. As Tricity approached him, he introduced himself and offered his hand. "A pleasure to meet you Calley. And it's just Miss Tipper," she replied with a smile, taking his hand in hers. The sounds of the thrilling ice rides caught her attention as she looked back over at the massive structure. "I've missed this place... How do you like it, Calley?"
(OOC: lmao Calley "GIANT ICE SLIDE OF FANTASTIC AWESOMENESS BEYOND THE CAPACITY OF THE HUMAN MIND TO HOLD" "ICETASTIC SLIDE OF TEMPTATION)
Tricity pushed the gas down a little harder as the familiar sight of the trees passed in a blur. The smell was even distinctive as she wound up the path, leading to her home. It was only another minute before the large mansion grounds came into her view and a small smile revealed itself as the large gates opened for her.
There were many people outside and rightfully so. It was a gorgeous autumn day. It would probably be one of the last warm ones left before the winter came into town. The loud roaring of the mustang came to a stop as she pulled up to the main door and stepped out. She could see the many pairs of eyes watching her now.
Tricity gave a smile and nod to the ones watching her and immediately picked out a familiar face who started sprinting her way. "MISS TIPPER!!!!!!!!!!"
Janie came barreling across the yard and threw herself onto Tricity, wrapping her arms around the woman's legs. "Hello, Janie! I've missed you so much!" Tricity bent down and tugged the girl away to get down to proper hugging level. "You look so much bigger!"
"I am! I am!" The girl gave a little twirl and stood up on her toes. "Where'd you go? We missed you! Miss Neena said you were coming back soon, but never when!"
"Well... I needed a little vacation for me and Sevion."
"Who's Sebeen?" Janie crinckled her nose and looked up to Tricity as the woman stood again.
Tricity moved the driver's seat forward and within a few seconds, pulled her son from the baby seat in the back. She went back down to the girl's size to present her son. "This... is Sev-ee-on."
"OOOOOOOOOOH! You named him!" Janie put her face within millimeters of Sevion's to examine the baby. "He grew too." She looked back to Tricity with sad eyes. "Miss Tipper... Are you gonna go away again?"
Tricity smiled and kissed the top of the girl's head. "No. I don't plan on leaving again for quite some time. Hey, you want to try and find Neena for me? Then you can help me with the baby and my stuff. How does that sound?"
"OK!!!" Janie immediately took off in a run.
Smiling, Tricity removed the baby seat from the car and placed it on the ground, putting Sevion inside. She then opened the trunk and removed her suitcases and several other smaller bags. It was impossible for her to pack light. "Let me get those..."
She turned around to see Johnathon taking a suitcase from her hand. "Damn, it seems everyone has grown." Tricity smiled at him. "How ya doing?"
"You know me..." He flashed his winning smile that had every girl in the mansion drooling and started piling the suitcases on the front staircase. "Nice to see you back again." His eyes went down to the baby. "Guess this makes you unavailable, eh?"
Tricity smacked him in the back of the head with a smirk. "Don't even..."
Aw, I loves it! If you have the time, I like Style 2 like Miss Montague has. If you have time though! Otherwise, I still love the original much You can use the blues since that's her choice of color and I like those two middle pictures. THANKS!! *tackles*

Tricity sighed and walked out of the living room, passing Mike. 'She's tough. She'll be alright.' She hurried upstairs to her room for some privacy and to have a chat with Charles Xavier.

"No...no, I don't want anyone leaving the mansion right now. Tattoo said they have devices to counter our mutations. I'm sure they can easily see Fade and have some way of overcoming your abilities." She thought for a moment and then directly toward Cassiel. 'You're right. We'll need to call a meeting.'
Tricity stood up and paced for a few moments before speaking. "No one is to leave the mansion unless given permission. Raphael, Fade, do me a favor and make sure the word is spread throughout the school. I'll make a few calls to mutants living on the outside to give them a warning about the kidnappings. They'll have to help spread the word to be on guard. For now, we need to stay put and do some researching before jumping the gun and doing needless searching throughout the city. We may end up in the hands of the people we're trying to avoid." She turned to Mike. "Gather the X-Men so we can have a chat. I'll call Xavier to see if he can help somehow."
She stopped pacing and turned to Tattoo. "You're welcome to stay here. There are rooms upstairs on the second floor on the same hallway as the infirmary for you to choose from." Without directly looking at Mike, Tricity mentally spoke to him. 'We'll need constant surveillance on him. I'm not sure I really trust him yet...Talk to Johnathon afterwards and make it happen.' It was awkwardly quiet after she'd spoken. "Come on, let's get moving. Tattoo, I'll speak with you after you've settled in."
The man smiled at Tricity and then exited the room. As everyone else was about to exit, she stopped them. "Listen everyone. Do your best to keep an eye on Tattoo. I don't fully trust the man, as I'm thinking some of you feel the same way. Fade and Skoliro, use your stealth abilities to their full potential and try to stay unnoticed while watching him. Ruby, you know him best. Come with us to the X-Men meeting in the War Room to see if you can give any tips on the man." She sighed and folded her arms over her chest. "That's it for now. Thank you."
Tricity was very torn about the situation. She had plenty of questions to ask, but her fellow residents seem to be reading her mind as all the questions she wanted answered came out. Fade's voice made her jump, as she looked toward where the question was coming from. Skoliro's entrance didn't help either as the young man dropped from the ceiling and scared her.
"Christ, Skoliro...don't do that...sit down," she said, quite firmly, irritated that he was lurking above and dropping in on a very important meeting with a nonchalant greeting. As the others continued with their accusations and questioning, Tricity looked behind her at Mike to see if he was probing into Tattoo's mind. It appeared he was, but didn't look like he was getting the concrete information he was after. Tricity turned back around toward the man as the room fell silent from the questions. "Tattoo...where is Whitmore's, well, Fusionist's labs?"
Tricity put her arms out in attempt to stop everyone. "ALRIGHT, that's enough! We don't need a critical audience before we understand what's going on, so please...Millie, can you go into the playroom with the other children please? This is adult time right now, ok, sweetie?"
She sat down on the couch across from Tattoo, as Ruby was calling him, and was quite intrigued to hear the relationship she and he had...as well as what he had to say about Fusionist.
"Ok, Tattoo. We're listening. Who are you and what do you know about Fusionist?"
Tricity pulled open the door and saw an unknown man standing there, most likely a mutant by his stereotypical appearance. However, he was a handsome man. She leaned against the door and studied him, as the wind fiercely whipped into the mansion.
"Excuse me," Tricity said, stepping around the man and cupping her hands over her mouth. "KIDS!! EVERYONE, BACK IN THE HOUSE, PLEASE!!"
She opened the door fully to let the children run inside, a few of them looking the man over with skeptical eyes. Tricity didn't like the way this person made her feel inside and she instinctively touched her stomach, feeling the electricity currents running through the mansion. "Yes, well, the weather is getting pretty bad. Why don't you come inside."
Tricity led the man into the living room and offered him a seat on the couch after cleaning off the legos on the cusions. "I'll be with you in one second." She left the man there, but quickly went over to the security station and told Johnathon to keep a watchful eye on him through the cameras mounted in the room. "John, try and contact as many of the X-Men as possible on their radios and cells. I don't like the vibe this man is giving me."
"Right away, Miss Tipper," the young man replied and immediately picked up the walkie to contact the others. Tricity did a quick sweep of the first floor to see if she could find any of the X-Men before making her way back to the living room.
*Tricity stepped foward, her eyes completely black, as she concentrated on the robot. She shot the electricity from her eyes, a blue and white, jagged energy blast hit the sentinel. It started circling in place and shocks shot off from its body, showering the lawn.* sentinel: "Orders...ord...ord....receive....shut....power....shut down...." *Orion used more chaos to build in his fist, slamming it down on the ground again. The sentinel staggered and fell to the lawn, completely shutting down. Tricity didn't want to touch Emerald, for fear of shocking her. She bent next to the girl and looked her over.* "Are you alright, hun?"
*Without much thought, Tricity took off across the lawn, trying to get to Orion as quick as possible.* "RI!!" *She wasn't very fast, after all, being pregnant can kinda slow a person down. Orion's head lifted up as he removed the sword from the now-disabled sentinel and saw Tricity coming toward him. He couldn't believe what she was doing, but he also understood too. Tricity saw another sentinel land on the lawn, taking the number back up to three again, but she kept of going to get to him. Orion sprinted across the yard as fast as he could to Tricity and hoped the sentinels would be more inclined to react to the other mutants for now. They finally reached one another and Tricity threw her arms around Orion, practically hysterical. He wrapped his huge arms around her and went running with her to the front of the mansion where he saw a younger girl that quite frankly looked like a fox. Tricity didn't let her grip around Orion's neck go as she held on to him for dear life.* "Ri, I thought...I thought you were..." *He stroked her hair and pulled her face away from his shoulder.* orion: "It's alright. I'm here now. Everything will be okay." *He tried to say this in the most soothing voice right now as he could see Tricity was ignoring the warzone that was happenign around her at the moment. He took her face in his hands, looked into her eyes, and began to talk to her seriously.* orion: "We'll catch up later, right now, we have to get rid of the sentinels, ok? You hear me?" *She nodded and began to calm her breathing down as she was pratically shaking in his grasp. Tricity took a few more deep breaths and then steadied herself for the battle. A tear fell on the back of her palm and sizzled away as the electricity was still running through her. It immediately gave her an idea. She turned to Emerald and spoke in a now very serious tone.* "You think you can douse one of those things with water, Em?"
