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.

*Tricity smiled and patted Cassiel on the back.* "Normally I would be insanely upset, but I understand why you did it. Thank you, Mike." *She watched as the sentinel hit the ground and then struggled in standing once more. Suddenly she saw a figure coming from the van and walking across the lawn, her heart skipping a beat. She staggered a bit as her head began spinning and she had to reach out to Daria and Mike to keep herself from falling.* "Oh God, is that..."
*Tricity nodded at Wraith and Kalt, confirming the idea.* "That sounds good, Wraith because I think they are about to unleash whatever it is they're planning. Kalt, maybe you can use a wormhole to teleport us back and forth in case we need help." *The gigantic robots began beeping as if attaining new orders. A moment later they all turned their heads back to the mutants.* sentinel: "Orders understood. Destroy or capture mutants if possible. Delilah Rose Tipper must be taken to lab for further analysis." *Tricity didn't wait to hear the rest of the order as she began conjuring the electricity that was in the surrounding area. Therefore, the floodlights on the mansion grounds went out, one by one. Her eyes turned completely black and the aura around Tricity was a bright blue, making her the brightest thing on the campus. She concentrated on the first sentinel which was standing in front of the other two.* "Hope this works..." *She began to mentally turn the sentinel off as well as produce one of her familiar blue balls of energy in her palm. It swirled and sparked with the electric power. As she scanned the sentinel, Tricity realized whoever had built these machines, knew to protect them from her kind of mutation. It would take much more power to shut them off or even try and short circuit their systems. She wouldn't be able to use such power unless she conjured up the power of lightning. That only happened a few times before and under extreme situations. Not that this wasn't one, but Tricity knew she had to be careful, now being pregnant. The DocProf said sh and the baby may die if she wasn't careful.* "They are highly dangerous. Their melee attacks are the most deadly as well as their energy blasts. Taking them down through force won't help. Honestly, I don't have a plan because I wasn't expecting this. Everyone be on your guard and watch over each other." *She shot the energy ball at the sentinel, making it step back from the blast. Tricity tried to aim for the control panel, but it seemed they had some type of forcefield up, acting as a shield. This would be difficult. She motioned for them to fan out, so they wouldn't be sitting ducks in one spot.*
(OOC: Please don't take them down too easily. Make it a teamwork effort. Most of you know how deadly sentinels can be. Axel, if you want to start your plot, you can have the soldiers kidnap you some time in your post. I won't make this much longer. Maybe a post by everyone before finally narrating the ending.)
*The remaining bit of electricity that still remained in the mansion was now gone and Tricity glowed with an aura of blue around her body. She made sure to keep the electricity in the Danger Room on in order to keep the children safely locked inside. She heard the boots of the men running through the hallway. Tricity placed her back against the adjacent wall as they came into the living room and surveyed the area. She causually walked up behind the closest one and grabbed the back of his neck, sending him into convulsions. This caused the soldier to squeeze the trigger of his gun sending bullets spraying throughout the room. She grabbed his arm and aimed for the second soldier, who was shot in the leg and dropped to the floor, behind the couch. Tricity let go of the man and she slumped to the floor, unconscious. Palm up, she conjured a blue ball of swirling energy in her hand and prepared to shoot it at the soldier who had ducked out of sight. She walked behind the couch and saw he had pointed a tazer in her direction. Tricity didn't move as he shot it at her.* "Idiot." *The tazer hit her in the chest and shoulder, but she yanked the cords out and threw them back at the man. He convulsed from the shock, beginning to foam at the mouth. She didn't wait around to see him pass out as she heard more footsteps and then the sight of three more men at the doorway from the living room to the dining room. She shot the energy ball at the first man which sent him flying into the dining room table. She dropped down behind another couch as they fired their assault rifles at her. Tricity covered her head and thought of a quick plan. The TV suddenly came on and caught the attention of the two men. They fired at it which gave her the chance to stand and shoot both of them with a surge of electricity. The blue, lightning like bolt shot across the room and the two men convulsed just as the others had. They both fell to the ground. Tricity left went into the dining room and saw no one was coming. She made her way down to the security center which was near the front doors after hearing Johnathon's voice coming from one of the com devices. She quickly made her way down the hall until suddenly being grabbed from behind, a knife to her stomach.* soldier: "You try anything funny and you die along with your baby." *She grabbed the wrist holding the blade to her stomach and sent a surge through her body and into his. She turned around to face him and watch his pain, finding some delight in it after threatening her baby's life. His expression was in shock and pain as he fell to the ground, Tricity not letting go. Johnathon's voice echoed from the security station again. She reluctantly let his wrist go and walked over to the center, picking up the radio.* "Johnathon??" john: "Ms. Tipper, we're at the museum and Whitmore headed us off. Orion is here!!" *Tricity stomach flipped when he had said that.* "Is he alright?? Where is he?" john: "Whitmore has implanted a piece of the green stone in him. He's following his orders." "Are you with Mike and the rest of the X-Men?" john: "They're inside fighting with Whitmore, his soldiers, and Orion. We could use the help, I'm sure." "I can't leave. The mansion is under attack. Whitmore is making sure you don't get any back up. If we clear the house out, myself and maybe a couple others will be able to get there. John, you and the rest will have to hold for now." john: "Alright. I'm gonna go in." "Be careful, Johnathon." john: "You too, Ms. Tipper." *The line went dead and she dropped the radio, seeing another soldier coming from the dining room. She shot a surge down the hallway, taking him down quickly. She left the security station and made her way back to the living room and dining room.*
*Tricity ran down the infirmary hallway, which contained most of the 'adult' bedrooms. She barged through the doors and found most of the students were out of bed and helping one another out of the room. There was no one seriously hurt enough that it would take many hands to move. She saw Janie was hopping out of bed with a cast around her ankle. The DocProf took her hand and waited for everyone to exit, Tricity holding the doors open and instructing them down into the living room.* "DOC!" docprof: ""God, are you ok? Where are the rest of the X-Men?" "I...I don't know. I think they might have gone after the stone and Whitmore is attacking us because of it, but more likely he was planning to do it anyway." *Tricity pulled Janie into her arms and closed the door once more as the DocProf was the last to leave. She told him to round up everyone downstairs as she checked the rest of the bedrooms in this hallway.* "MIKE?! DARIA?!" *She pushed their door open, but it was empty. Tricity tried the next few doors, but none of the other X-Men were in their dorms.* "Dammit..." janie: "Ms. Tipper, what's going on?!" "It's ok, Janie." *Tricity turned the bedroom handle of the last door which belonged to Kilala and Ruben, but it was locked. She put her body weight into it, trying to break the door down. After the third try, she and Janie phased through the doorway, and Tricity stumbled over her footing. She looked at the little girl who smiled.* "Thanks, Janie." *There was no one in the room. Tricity nodded at the little girl in her arms again and they phased through the door. She quickly jogged down the stairs to the living room again and saw most of the house had gathered.*
"Everyone needs to be absolutely silent RIGHT NOW!" *The murmurs began to die down, as a window in one of the upstairs hallway shattered. A few of the children screamed in fright and Tricity's heart skipped a beat. They needed to move fast. She handed Janie over to Katie, a 17 year-old girl with the ability to shrink any object, including herself.* "Katie, take the children to the Danger Room and into the basement area. You know the procedure. JOHNATHON?! John, are you here??" *After a few moments of silence and then the sound of a loud banging at the front doors, Tricity assumed he was with the X-Men too.* "DAN?!" *The 20 year-old mutant who had the power to control a bright beam of light from his eyes and slight telepathic ability, stepped forward.* "Dan, take the back of the line and follow Katie to the Danger Room. If anythiing should happen, contact me telepathically. GO! Hurry up!! Children, follow Dan and Katie!" *They all scrambled along and went down the hallway. There were only a few of the older residents left.*
"I'm sorry to do this, all of you. Normally I would have backup and wouldn't need to request this, but if you decline I understand completely and you can join everyone else in the Danger Room. You aren't obligated to help." *Another crack to the front doors and then the resounding boom indicated they had both fell finally. The soldiers who had crashed upstairs had made it to the top of the steps. Tricity pulled a surge from the wall, spinning around, and shocking the three men. They convulsed and fell to the ground unconscious. The electricity in the room began to flicker in her anger. She turned back around to face the others.* "Anyway...I need all of your help to defend the house. Will you help?" *Tricity waited a few moments and looked over the faces of the others. They all nodded and said 'yes', waiting further instructions. She nodded with appreciation and sincerity at their will to help.* "As you can see, they're making their way through right now. I'll be taking the living room and dining room. I need the rest of you to take different areas of the house, in teams. Kalt and Lee take the kitchen and those surrounding hallways. Raphael and Victoria take the hallways on the second floor. Jaguar and Fade take the hallways on the first floor, but stay away from the front door. Emerald and Axel take the library and those surrounding hallways on the first floor. DO NOT separate!" *They could hear the quick steps of the organized men running upstairs.* "Take care of one another and don't be the hero. I'd like us all to make it back...I don't need anymore funerals." *As grim as she was being, it was from the bottom of her heart. Tricity couldn't take another fall of their home and any more burials and memorial services. If anyone else died...* "There are walkies in every single closet of this building. I'm sure most of you have noticed. Each of you take one and turn to channel 2 so we can all keep in touch. If you're in need of help, don't hesitate to tell me, and I'll send reinforcements. I'll see you all soon...let's get rid of these bastards." *Tricity smiled slightly to give them some form of hope as she began taking all the surges in the room, which eventually caused the lights in the living room, the connecting hallway to the dining room and living room, and the dining room go out. She waited for the intruders as the others began to disperse.*
*As Tricity slowly lowered herself onto the couch, she saw that only a few of the older ones were awake and all the younger children had gone to bed. What seemed like only a few moments, Tricity had actually fallen asleep for about a half an hour. She opened her eyes and stood up to do a round of the house. Tricity passed by the front hall and pulled back the long draperies to peer out on the lawn. The floodlights were on full blast, illuminating most of the yard. She began closing the curtains when a sudden movement caught her eye. Tricity looked more closely and saw a small tactical unit moving on the edges of the surrounding perimeter brick wall.* "Oh no...not again." *She quickly closed the drapes and hurried down the hallway. After pulling back another curtain, Tricity saw more of the unit moving across the lawn.* "Shit." *Tricity ran down to the security center and peered at the different television screens, seeing most of them had been taken out. Just as she was taking it all in, the security alarm tripped and the sound of the emergency system began to sound through the mansion. Tricity quickly lowered the sound of the alarm and went on the PA system.* "EVERYONE REPORT TO THE LIVING ROOM IMMEDIATELY!" *Tricity ran upstairs to start collecting the younger children in their rooms and showing them downstairs. She was hoping some of the older mutants would help usher the younger ones as well. When she reached the top, many of the students began running down the hallways.* "Get down to the living room right now! If you see anyone break in, get to the Danger Room. You know the emergency procedures."
*the two talked for a while about everything that had been going on lately. it began with chaos and ire, to the pregnancy, to general steadman, and the kids safety. tricity was a bit angry with orion still, after trusting chaos and ire, but she tried her best to not argue. after a an hour or so, tricity wanted to leave. she kissed orion on the cheek and headed back to the mansion.*
*archon pulled tricity along the grounds toward orion's cave.* ok ok...i get it he's back. *the wolf hurried on forward toward the cave as tricity followed. when she got inside, she saw orion in his seat.* hey...
*she laughed and shook her head. there suddenly was a jingling noise and archon came into the cave and up to tricity.* HI BABY! *she said in a baby voice and rubbing his neck. as she looked over at orion, he had a stern look, his arms across his chest. she smiled because she knew what it was about.* what?!
*tricity smiled at ire and then turned to orion.* it doesnt matter...i'd rather go in mine so i can have my clothes. you have clothes to change in here already. *she said stretching*
yea i guess.. *tricity said, but her stomach was now aching badly. she half smiled and nodded in agreement.* SO....i need to head back to the mansion to do some rounds. you two staying here tonight?
*tricity went into deep thought for a moment as there was silence. orion looked up at her questioningly.* well...doesnt that mean you arent going to age as i will? i mean....i may be an old hag and you will still be young?
