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.

"Maybe it's not a career but it's a home with food and friends," she corrected him. Sure, she could find ways of making money, she could just steal it all and then get a place in the city, however, they would most certainly run a back round check on her and come out as wanted for hundreds of charges of theft, so maybe it was best she just stay at the Mansion, where she was accepted. Of course, the X-Men knew of how she used to be, and some had a hint that it was hard for her to give it up, but every rose has it's thorn and even an X-girl could rethink her ways when she has money floating out there, waiting for her to just pick out of someone' pocket.
"Oh will I?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. He was a little cocky, but so was she. She had endurance, living out on the streets taught her that, but of course, this man was a giant, he seemed to have plenty of energy to drain her's and she'd rather have that extra energy built up. Still, by the looks on his face, she was teasing a fair game.
A light of curiosity peaked in her when she heard that they hadn't explored the loft yet. That could be fun in a childish Hide and Seek way, or she could just enjoy learning every inch of it with him nearby. "So what should we order out? I'd say some Chinese food, stir fry rice with some Sweet n Sour pork. You're not a vegetarian are you?" she toyed. She doubted he was.
So the Angel on Fade's shoulder has been a little pre-occupied lately. She's still a good girl, but the little devil on her shoulder has a louder voice these days. So then, does anyone wanna help her do something not so good? I want her to be confused as to whether she should be good or bad. Anyone interested?
February 14th would have been just like any other day. Every holiday to Fade was just like any other day. Maybe on Christmas, she would get a little gift from the X-Men to remind her it was, indeed, Christmas, or maybe New Years, she would hear some fireworks, but she never really participated in any of them. Valentine's day would be just February 14th if she hadn't walked into a love dove cave. Right in the middle was Raina, one of the X-Men who loved to celebrate. It seemed that when a special even happened around the Mansion, Raina was involved. It was a good trait, she was always good with socializing.
Every inch of Fade's body told her to just walk away, all the pink and sweets and hearts every where. Then again, Valentine's day was the day for her favorite color, red. Speaking of red, there was one giant walking Valentine's baddy, that Venus. He was a giant chunk of man, though he seemed like plenty of girls chased after him. Not like it mattered, Fade enjoyed a challenge. Plus, he knew how to tickle the 'wild side' of her. Her eyes slowly focused in again and she forced out a smile. It wasn't that she was being mean, she was just trying to take in all the love crap.
"Hey there Raina," she waved and paused at Juka. Now she had heard of his name, but hadn't actually used it in a conversation or really personally met him, or had she. "Hey there, I'm Fade." For some odd reason, the X-Men had begun calling her Jenny, which was an annoyance. She hated that name, she was always Fade, that was the best name to have, an inhuman name. "Happy Valentine's Day," she smiled at both of them.
Yeah. Honestly, a whole lot of stuff has rapidly changed in my life in the past year that keeps putting me back from posting and doing anything that I really enjoy doing. I'm not gonna dive into it but I have my laptop up and running and I can get on once a day again, just like old times. My life has settled down now.
Actually, I would LOVE to put Ahorta in this. Since she's a paranoid schizophrenic, and already lives in the world of her fears, I think seeing other people living in their own fears would be quite entertaining for her, if she manages to look up from her corner.
Hey there, Shin. Just thought I'd whip something up for you on my day off from work. It's something new, I'm not used to approaching graphic art with a pop art sense of style, but I figured I might as well give it a chance. Lemme me know what you think!
Teases always got what was coming, or so many people have said. Who said she didn't want what was coming in the first place? Maybe she was doomed to be a tease, maybe she could tag him back instead of always running away. Well, she most certainly did not run away last night, he should be satified with at least that. Still, she wasn't satisfied with just that. Fade had always had a wild side that she tried to keep back and sometimes it bubbled over and sometimes she was able to keep it contained. Whatever the matter was, she wasn't able to keep it contained now.
While he lathered her, she phased in and out. Sometimes, when he would run his hand over a spot, she would phase it through, just to tease and turn back solid and touchable with the next contact. This game was fun. "Throw away our jobs for a future together? Oh hot stuff, you gotta impress me more than that before I quit," she joked, well sort of. She was not quite sure how she felt about good and evil, even these days. He began to wash her hair, now that was a wonderful delight. It wasn't sexual, playful or anything like that, it just felt good and it was much appreciated, like getting a foot massage. It would only further his chances of keeping her around for a bit.
"That's right, we have to eat food," she lingered on the word a bit longer, just to emphasis her sexuality. "What do you say? Something fancy? Something fast?" She asked. It did not even seem like it was still the morning, was it morning? She was on body time at the moment and wasn't ready to switch back.
((SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just got internet from my boyfriend as a valentine's day gift! hehehehehehe! So now I will be on more often and can actually keep posting. I am having WAY too much fun with Fade being bad))
Hello hello hello! Sorry for my absense, again. My computer got a virus and I just moved in with my boyfriend and we don't have internet connection. So he just bought me one of those Cricket Broadband things so I can get on now. I will try to get on and post on my break at work.
See? Look what you have got yourself into? Now you have a giant red man blocking the door, looking at you showering... At one point, however, she could not scold herself since she luring him in there by her own doing. Now that she actually had to follow through with it, her stomach twisted with butterflies and she felt herself losing her confidence. She was still invisible. Though he could see where her curves were, he could not see the pale skin that the water was dripping down. To turn visible or not?
Turning around, she began to turn visible beginning from the head, down to her narrowed eyes that were focused on the man in the chair, down her cute little down, down her lips, where she was biting her lower one ever so gently, down her neck, her shoulders, to her waist, her knees and finally to her toes. The second she turned her toes visible, the top of her head began to go invisible, like a scanner that was not turning back invisible. Her eyes disappeared along with her nose, bitten lips, neck, shoulders, waist, knees and toes. Teasing was much more fun than she thought.
Fade smiled at how he can use his power to move the furniture. Then again, if it weren't for the mansion, she would not have any furniture to move. Still, she hated moving the bed away from the bathroom room so she could stop stubbing her two every time she danced out in her towel. Now that she was not stubbing her toe, it made it nearly impossible for her to stop dancing in her towel and occassionally, she'd just walk down the hall, into the kitchen, grab a snack, and then go back up to her room and change. Though no one really knew this because she'd rather be invisible and in a towel than visible and fully clothed. That was something that giant red man at the bar would appreciate...
"Razor sharp barriers? Well, I'm sure I'd be able to phase through them. The mist and raining paint, I don't think I can get through. Because I have to turn everything that touches my skin invisible to remain undetected, if I did that in, let's say, a shower, then there would just be a section of the shower with no water that fit my body shape. So yeah, water is a bit harder to remain undetected in, but I'm working on it. I'm also working on remaining undetected by heat vision, I think I almost have it down, just haven't tested it in a bit," she shrugged. Maybe she could work on that.
"I am sure the staff will be very careful with their powers, they wouldn't use it for small things. Perhaps, if I can sneak into some area and set a minor fire while you distract them, someone would have to put out the fire quickly, possibly using their power so that no one stopped by to make sure they were OK. The police in the staff room would not be a good thing if they really are mutants." Some would not go for the fire thing, especially if they were an X-Man, then again, Fade had been out of the game for a bit. She did not see any harm in a minor fire, so long as it could be put out easily. "Maybe if the fire doesn't settle, you can use your power to cut a water pipe to put it out?"
So I found two photos for the siggy and came up with two little sayings. I dunno which one would fit her, if any at all. Let me know if you want any changes!
He showed his power, sharp triangles at his fingertips. How very odd. Shard did fit him more, but she was so used to calling him Shin that maybe she would just stick to that. Seemed like he enjoyed the name Shin more, especially if he had to think back and remember the name Shard. "Sounds like a good power to have in battle." Fade, on the other hand, was not good in combat. Her powers were stealth and reconnaisance. Why couldn't she have the power to throw giant boulders at people? Or cut people in half with a blade she can shoot from her spinal cord?
His mention of how she could walk through walls made her tingle a little bit, especially while on the topic of KP. Come to think of it, Hadn't Shin been in the Infirmary with her? Although she was in a little bit of a different care. While some mutants came out with bruises, cuts, missing body parts, and possible Post-Traumatic Stress, Fade left the battle dead. It was not a second of death, it was quite a few minutes of her in the other world. Her phasing powers nearly caused her her life. The punch that Shade sent before she could phase through fully directly impacted her heart, no muscles, no ribs, no lungs to protect it. It took her a bit longer to recover.
Shaking back to reality, she looked up. "Yes, I do actually have phasing powers. I can remain undetected by almost anything, just Luke and Ghost can find me when I'm hiding, and only Ghost can chase me. I can also manipulate my phasing powers in my claws, so I can phase them into a wall and then make them solid so I can climb walls, ceilings and such. So when you need someone to check if the coast is clear, just ask me.
This was getting all too fun. He spoke in some kind of Shakespearean tone, not as if Fade even knew who Shakespair, or however that British guy spelled it, in the first place. It sounded mighty fancy though. He got up and went to the kitchen, still going on about how he would hate for her to get dressed. He had seen her the night before with her clothes on, and in fact, she had seen him that night too, fully dressed. Still, his muscles were nearly irresistible, the only thing that stopped her was that little voice in the back of her head, saying bad Fade, very bad Fade.
She felt gross and sweaty, after all, last night was a little rough, so she made her way over to the shower and opened the curtains slowly so he would still think she was by the fridge. Informing him again of her position, she turned on the water and reached her hand under it to check the temperature. When it was warm enough, she made her way back over to him, if he was still in the same position.
"The tricky thing about the shower is," she said, raising a dripping invisible hand, "that I would have to concentrate every time a drop of water hit me in order to stay invisible, which you could still tell where I am if I did that. If I can't concentrate on every one then it shows every curve of my body." Sure enough, the drops of water formed the outline of her hand and slowly weaved through her body curves, knuckles and fingertips before dripping down to the floor. "So much for being invisible..."
He mentioned that maybe the Hotel Staff were mutants, which nearly made the redhead hit herself in the forehead with stupidity. Why had she not thought of that? It would have made more sense that the mutants were running instead of housing humans in their hotel. Then again, maybe that's why they did it, it would be the one place that no one would have thought of. All this thinking was giving the redhead a major head ache. Reason number one as to why Fade did not go to school: she hated thinking. Well, it was not that she hated thinking, she would die if she did not do that, she just hated thinking about what the teachers told her to think about, she had her own thoughts, right?
"That may actually be a possibility. I can see what I can come up with, maybe do some eavesdropping and snooping around," she nodded in agreement. "My morning was nice, the shower had some warm water and fancy shampoo bottles," she admitted. Hotel rooms were the comfiest to sneak into when she had no home. Especially when her room in the mall attic got too cold. "I haven't noticed any of the guests here being mutants, not yet at least," she said subtly. Maybe Shin would be curious as to why she thought that, maybe he would just let it slide. Still, she told him what she had gathered, just not how.
It was a fact, that as an X-Man, you get to pick a nickname that fit your power perfectly. Fade had been called just that much longer than some had their nicknames. In fact, some of the X-Men preferred to use their real names, where as Fade hated her human name, primarily because it was posted on a few milk cartons and posters. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL? It should have said HAVE YOU SEEN THIS CRAZY CRIMINAL? Still, the name Fade clearly stated that she was able to turn invisible, although the phasing power was not to apparent. Shin was quite a tough name to figure out. Was it his real name or his X-Name? And if it was his X-Name, did it mean he was able to manipulate people's legs? Their shins? Or was it like a Shin-dig? "No, I don't believe I do know your power. I didn't fight with you at KP this last time," she said. Only a few people at that battle had fought at the first KP and could call it KP II.
The giant red man was all too fast to respond by wrapping his tail around her ankle and caressing her side. Oh boy, what had she gotten herself into? If the X-Men had little cameras that followed her, they would be frowning right about now. Fade wasn't bad, she just wasn't raised to be good and sometimes it got the better of her. Maybe one day she would be able to stop everything wrong, but then again, nobody could do that. At least she could not be physical with Venus again this instant, plus she enjoyed teasing.
With a swift power use, she phased through his hand and tail and began walking to the kitchen. Just so he knew exactly what was walking away, she flittered back into visibility for a moment before flitting back into her invisible state. It was just enough for the light to hit her pale yet soft skin and reflect on the motions of her backside as she walked away. While her hair did need a shower, it was still gently swaying on her back.
She opened the fridge and looked for something, anything. It was just a teaser to let Venus know where she was. She closed the fridge and spoke up. "So we gonna stay cooped up here all day or do you feel like going out and grabbing something to eat?" She was not hung over, then again, she hadn't had a hangover in years, not since after her first year of drinking. But still, maybe a bagel would be good right now.
