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.

"Oooo.... another oriental fan. You're alright, kid." Amp grinned.
The girls ignored the looks they received as they walked. This was New York after all; holding what appeared to be a stuffed animal or puppet wasn't the strangest thing to see, by far.
"Oh me? I have been building more robots, making modifications to my Robotic suit so I can kick some major tail if anyone tries to attack me and hanging out with some of the other kids at the mansion."
"Though, there arent many people my age at the mansion, most of them are adults with the exception of the girl that Emmy and I roomed with for a little while."
"People are actually coming back?" Amp sounded surprised, though the reaction was unintentional. She took the lead toward one of their favorite Chinese food stops.

Amp smirked and rolled her eyes when Ruby’s stomach growled.
"Do you think we can get some food first?"
”Sure, Squirt. Your pick.” She followed her sister to the curb, waiting for Ruby to say what she wanted.
Behind them, Vibe’s hypnosis had worn off, leaving two very confused joggers stuck, rather painfully, in the evergreen trees. One of them slipped on a branch, and fell out with a pained yelp. Both girls shared a devilish smirk.
”So, Ruby,” Vibe began as they crossed the street, ”what’ve you been doing while your sis is off being a brat?"
"Umm maybe we could do both but you don't have to pay for my lunch or anything I can turn into my human form and get money!"
Vibe's smile radiated mischief. "Don't worry about money, Squirt. We've got that covered." She winked at Amp over the kit's head.
"Besides are you sure its okay if I am with you guys despite the fact I live at the mansion?"
Amp snorted and stood up. "Chill, Squirt. We're off-duty."
Since Ruby simply went to the school, and was still young, the Twins didn't care much about her affiliation. As long as her sister and her x-dweeb buddies didn't show up to ruin their fun, the Sonic Sisters were content not to go looking for a fight.
Besides, shopping was more fun when you didn't have to deal with badges.
"All right, which first? Food or shopping?" Amp asked.

"I suppose Emmy could have a boyfriend, it wouldnt surprise me if she didnt want to show him to me if she thought I wouldnt like him or something. Though, I thought we trusted each other more than that."
Vibe smacked her sister's arm, provoking a suprised, "Ow!" from Amp.
"Now look what you did!" The longer-haired twin stood up and reached out to pick Ruby up. "Ignore her, Squirt, she's just being a brat. C'mon, you need some cheering up. Let's go shopping. Or get a second lunch. Are ya still hungry?"
Amp frowned, rubbing her arm. "Well, it's true...." she grumbled irritably. "And I am not a brat...."

"Very well Amp. He may come here. I'm very interested in meeting this man and speaking with him."
Unintentionally, Amp's frown melted into a smile. Once she realize it, she quickly schooled her expression back to casual indifference, though her green eyes still glowed brightly.
"I do have a question for you though. Does he know about us?"
Amp shook her head. "Vibe said she didn't tell him, and I know I didn't." She pulled out a halfway crumpled card from her pocket.
"Here. He gave Vibe his number. His name is Grit. Vibe told him your name, and said that you're our landlord. Lady." She corrected herself quickly. "As far as he know, this is just a homeless shelter for mutants only."

"Tell me what he did for you in the camp and what exactly the favor is that you owe him other than staying here."
So much for reading between the lines. Amp sighed, and pouted a bit. She new her attitude probably wouldn't help Grit's case much, but she wasn't used to all this..... admitting stuff.
"He just, ya know. Looked out for me. Us," she corrected herself. "All of the mutants. He wasn't like the others there."
She growled a bit in her throat, trying to get her point across without being specific. Then her eyes lit up. "He saved Vibe. During the break out. He took two bullets for us." The frustrated frown returned. Time to try a different tack.
"He's good at combat. Maybe he could teach the weak ones here. So they won't be a liability to us. You know we can't afford to have anyone weak with us, not if we want to take our rightful place in the world. Maybe he could help."

"You...sound like Emmy when you say that. Emmy is gone alot now but she always comes back to make sure she says good night to me. Its not fair though, she always says that I wont understand whats going on right now and that she didn't want me to be dragged into her bad mood."
Vibe narrowed her eyes at Amp. The latter noticed and glared back.
"Forget it, Squirt," she said, irritation creeping into her tone. "You sis is, what? Seventeen? Eighteen? She's probably just got a boyfriend, and doesn't want to bring her baby sis along. I mean, aren't you interested in guys yet? Would you really want your older sister messing up your date?"
Vibe snorted. "A date. Right."
Amp's frown deepened, and she began tapping one foot on the ground. The expression softened slightly at Ruby's antics. But it was still obvious that Ruby was not the only having sister problems.

"I have gained most of my weight back from when I was in the camps, Its because I have been eating all the yummy food Emerald brings home for me! Thats the one thing thats good about her leaving the mansion sometimes is the fact she goes and gets lots of good food"
Amp frowned slightly. "How often does she leave?"
<"And why?"> Vibe shielded that thought even from Amp. She knew very little about Ruby's sister, but it sounded like Emerald was pulling the same thing as her sister, and trying to hide things from Ruby. Could the Camp have really done that much damage to Amp and Emerald? So much so that they no longer trusted even their sisters?
A pair of passersby passed them, muttering about mutants. Vibe heard their remarks clearly. Ruby all but curled in on herself.
"I dont like mean people."
Any other time she would have let Amp know, and let her deal with it in her normal fashion. But this time, she decided to handle matters on her own.
A soft, rhythmic tune carried to the people's ears. Abruptly the stopped in their tracks. Vibe sneered and started to say something truly vicious, but stopped remembering Ruby could hear.
"Meh! Go hug a tree. And climb it while you're at," she muttered. Promptly and obediently, the pair headed for the nearest tall plant, which turned out to be a pine tree, and curled themselves around it, in spite of the sharp needles.
Rolling her eyes, Amp turned back to Ruby. "Neither do we Squirt. But they'll get theirs. Sooner than they may think." A hint of viciousness snuck into the redhead's tone.

Vibe didn't like animals much, any of them, but knowing that this particular critter was actually a young girl, she let Ruby continue snuggling. Maybe she had an easier time because Ruby was intelligent, and could converse with you. Animals didn't converse. They just lay there. And beg. And shed.
>Okay, think girl, not fox. Mutant foxgirl is fine.< She even scratched at Ruby's ears.
"So Have you two been doing well since the registration thing? Have you been having lots of fun since then?"
Amp shrugged. "Not a whole lot, I suppose. Though just getting a decent wardrobe and haircut enough to make my day. Shopping is always fun."
>Especially when the sales clerks can be convinced everything is free.< She and Vibe shared a sly smirk.
Aloud Vibe asked, "How 'bout you? Putting on any weight yet? All of you were skin and bones when you came back."

"Emmy is...diffrent now. The camps really effected her and they made her more distant with me as if she has something to hide. I sorta worry about her because she wont tell me whats wrong."
"I know you what you mean." Vibe stared pointedly at Amp. The shorter-haired twin rolled her eyes.
"I'm sure she has her reasons," came the snippy retort.
"Though, being outside is alot better than being in those stupid camps! No one will be able to catch me again!"
The girls watched in amusement as Ruby bounded back and forth, attempting to act ferocious.
"Whoop! Hold it, Squirt!" Vibe reached out to keep the little fox from tumbling backwards off of her lap. "Take it easy, Half Pint. I think your teeth need to get a bit bigger before you take on the world again."

(OOC: Sorry for the delay; busy week. )
Ruby scarfed the sushi down so quickly, Vibe chuckled and let her have the rest. She could get more later, and really she'd had enough carbs already anyway. The redheaded pair laughed a bit at the little fox's antics. If she was trying to look vicious, she was failing miserably.
Amp responded to the nudges as if Ruby were a kitten or puppy, and scratched behind her ears and under her chin.
"I have been fine Miss Amp! How are you doing Miss Amp, Miss Vibe?"
Vibe snorted in amusement at the girl's exuberance. "You sure are full of energy today."
"It's the fresh air," Amp replied. "We missed it. Didn't we Squirt? So what have you been up to Ruby? Keepin' your sister in line?"
>'Sisters',< Vibe corrected silently. Amp blinked and looked at her questioningly. >She's got two sisters. Remember that pale girl skulking around the Infirmary? The one with the dark octopus-tentacle things that all the doctors avoided?<

Vibe jumped slightly as a little red fox with big ears tumbled at their feet. It looked familiar, but she couldn't place where she'd seen it before.
Amp, on the other hand, recognized the fox kit right away. She responded to the nudge and reached down to pick her up.
"Heya, Squirt! How ya been? Haven't see you in months."
A confused frown graced Vibe's face. "Squirt?" A moment later recognition replaced confusion. "Ooooh, the foxgirl! That's right." She reached over to scratch the kit's ears. "How ya doin', Squirt? Hungry?" She held out a sake, a salmon-wrapped sushi bit.

"What's your question Amp?"
"You see, I have a fri-.... I mean, a favor to ask for someone. Someone from the Camps."
She frowned a bit, struggling to find words that got her request across, with as little indicated emotion as possible. It wasn't easy.
"He.... He kind of, helped me out, while we were there. Several times, actually. He's looking for a place to stay, and I owe him a favor. I thought he might be able to come here, but.... well, there may be a problem."
And here came the hard part.
"He's, kinda, sorta.... well. Human."
She winced slightly, but looked Syn in the eyes as she spoke. She didn't want to actually admit that she owed Grit her life, but perhaps the red-and-black haired girl could read between the lines. Maybe.

"Come on, Amp. Tell me!"
"There's nothing to tell. I'm fine."
>Amp, I know you better than that. Something's been bugging you, and I want to know what.<
"Vibe, relax. I'm telling you, there is nothing wrong with me."
"Are you sick? Is your sugar off? Need to go destroy something? C'mon, help me out here."
Amp rolled her eyes, and ignored her sister's last question. The petite pair wandered through Central park, each in different stages of finishing a lunch of sushi. As they walked, they drew numerous odd looks, mainly due to the fact that Amp responded to Vibe's alternated questions, either spoken without moving her lips when her electronic voice spoke, or not speaking aloud at all.
Eventually they came to a park bench near one of the flower patches. Amp plopped into the seat with a huff.
"Vibe, read my lips. I. Am. Fine."
Vibe placed one hand on her hip, and tapped her foot. >You're the one that reads lips, Genius,< she replied silently. Again Amp rolled her green eyes. She held her arms up and out in a wide gesture.
"I'm just enjoying not being behinds stone walls, is all. We can go turn something to rubble later tonight. Maybe we can even get together with Isabel and go find some badges to play with. But for now, I'm enjoying the sunshine."
To emphasize her words, she stretched out lazily on the bench. With a skeptical headshake, Vibe thwopped down next to her sister. She popped a sake into her mouth and munched away. She knew, like someone knows what color black is, that her sister was lying.
