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.

Fade was not around much for the camps. Her mutation helped her escape that terrible fate and luckily, she did not have to go through what all of the other mutants went through. She nodded her head, not wishing to discuss the camps any further, everyone had a different affect from that conversation. "Well welcome back, we'll see what we can do to get you back into the swing of things," she said, avoiding saying blantantly that she was an X-Man. Hopefully he'd get it. He insisted on Raven standing behind him when the bullets fly, which was very nice, in an odd sort of way that only mutants could really understand, she took note of that.
"We all hope you stay, Raven," Fade said, smiling and offering warm feedback. Jenny had been in those shoes herself years ago, she never liked staying in one place, she even tried leaving the Mansion a few times, but the place sort of grew on her, it forced itself to become her home. It was comforting though, to actually have a place to call home, she never expected life to turn out like that, but it did, thank goodness. "Do you need any help getting settled in or finding a room?" she asked Michael, offering to take some of his stuff and help him carry it.
Shin suggested using Kealey to help her figure it out, but also mentioned that it would be cheating. Yeah, that sounded a bit like cheating. Though it was a tempting idea, she'd had to pry into his emotions like that, even if it wasn't her doing the prying. She would have hated it if Sam had sent out a scout to find out her intentions...or is that what he did? She knew Sam and Shin talked quite a bit, maybe that was the reason for the sudden change in direction of the conversation. Trying to keep her composure, she shook her head. "No no no, I wouldn't ask that of you, first off, plus sometimes it's a lot more fun to be confused on your own," she sort of smirked.
They say the chase is more fun than the catch, though she could still have her fun with the catch, right now, it was time to enjoy the chase. "I probably won't let him know any more than he already guessed at, which I'd say is enough for the moment. And yes, he's quite the stubborn one, but I'd be a little weirded out if he was completely set on what he wanted, no one ever is," she shrugged. Her body was beginning to turn back to normal, it was still ever so slightly transparents, but she was looking the initial shock and embarassment.
She took the opportunity to scan the crowd again and find him right where she last saw him. At least she was handling the conversation a bit better, she wasn't as blushy anymore, weren't the guys supposed to confess first though? They usually ran if a girl confessed first, so her lips were sealed and hopefully she could shut her body language up, it was talking way too loud. She pulled the punch up to her lips and took a seat before noticing the slight tint on her hand from her minor transparancy. Slightly embarassed, she focused on making herself fully visible and solid, covering it with a little guilty smile, "oops..."
Kealey spoke about the teenage hormonal emotions, which seemed completely understandable. It would make more sense that most people had the same emotions out on the dancefloor, that would be a bit easier to handle if everyone was happy. Now being stuck in an angry mob or sitting in church and feeling all of those silent emotions, that may be a bit different. She smiled and laughed a little "that makes sense, when I was a teenager, I was always more concerned about what was directly in front of me instead of whatever else was going on," she said, remembering KP and how she fought with Calley and literally had to be dragged away to do her part for the mission. Bad memory.
Shock. Complete shock overwhelmed her as Shin redirected all of the questions to her before Kealey had a chance to answer them. It was almost as if he rescued her, which caused Fade to wonder if she had insulted Kealey some how. While it was not her intention, the current question had her frozen. The slight emotional pulls began to tug a bit at her mutation, though she could not feel it. How did Shin know? Did anyone else know? She knew Kealey had to but she did not want everyone to know. Her past confidence quickly slipped away.
What happened next was minor but a bit obvious. Her body slowly began to turn invisible, it was happening extremely slow, but at the moment, she was slightly transparent. Though you could not see that much through her, any time a light flashed across the dancefloor, it shined straight through her. "I would tell you about it if there was really a word or even a way to describe it," she said, slowing down her invisibility by breathing, though she was unaware that she was turning invisible. "I think he's cute and strong and pretty much macho manish, for lack of a better word," she sort of laughed at that last remark, "but I mean, I'm not quite sure if it's just flirting or what at this point, I dunno if Sam even knows what it is. But I'm fine with how it is now," she said, this time not turning to find Sam, it would make it even more obvious...as if a transparent redhead at the punch bowl was not obvious enough.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught Shin tilting his head a little, like a curious kitten, but she shrugged it off. She did not know why he did it so why make a big deal about it? Turning her attention back to Kealey, it seemed like everyone knew something that she did not. Kealey spoke about how she enjoyed costume designing, but it was not her power. Then it all made sense. It hit Fade like a giant sack of ceramic tiles, the blunt force at first came as a shock, but then the fragile material broke and pierced her thoughts with brilliant speed.
Without her knowledge, her eyes widened a little, followed by a smile that seemed to slither from behind her teeth. Wow, an empath. Though a telepath would be a bit scarier, she knew her emotions were running a little wild at the moment and she could not imagine just how many emotions were in the room. The comfort of her emotions being a needle in a haystack while at the dance, the smile widened and her eyes returned to their normal porportion. "Wow! Tonight must be a real work out for you!" she laughed it off.
Hopefully, she did not come across rude with her initial reaction, it was sort of surprising though, simply because Fade was trying so hard to cover any emotion on her face at the time being. Well, she was out in the open, so there was no need to hide it now, right? Casting a quick yet playful glance at Sam, she turned her attention back to the two in front of her. "So what's that like?" she asked, genuinely curious. She had nothing to hide, it would be discovered anyways through the blushing, but she hoped it was not too terribly obvious.
Michael discussed his power in a broad, general form, which was fine. Detailing the specifics of your powers to someone you've just met was not really a good idea. There were plenty at the Mansion who did not understand the full power of her mutation, which was how she preferred it. Some people felt safe thinking that they could sense her through means other than their sight. Sometimes that was true, but it was rare. It made people feel more secure though, she couldn't imagine how some people felt using the bathroom or shower when they were aware an invisible mutant lived next door.
Raven seemed to feel a bit more secure with a man that bullets bounced off of. It was always good to have someone around like that, though Fade did not need the protection, at least not if she knew the bullet was coming. She always had her phasing powers if the gunman could actually find her in the first place. Fade looked over to the raven who was nearby, no doubt not wishing to roam too far from his or her mutant friend. With an odd gesture, Fade lifted a hand and waved a little to the raven, as if to say 'nice to meet you'.
"Yes, I've lived here for a while, but I think I was away when you were here. I took a personal vacation, a bit longer than I expected, actually, but I've been back now for about a year, I believe," she took a breath with a long, mental good lord! She'd seen Raven around but never actually spoke to her, thus she allowed Raven to speak for herself and answer that one.
He stated that he was there to see a little of Tricity, which would imply he was there while she was transitioning, so he must have been there after Fade left. Before she left, she was close with Tricity, but when she came back, she could not find her anywhere, she never really got to say goodbye. Nor did she get to say goodbye to Daria or Castiel or Glare, Neena, Iris...oh she was taking a walk down memory lane. She shook her head to focus on the here and now. Michael talked about how he used to be an X-Man to the ever curious young lady who kept tilting her head in an odd fashion. Though Fade had gotten quite used to mutations taking an effect on the mutant's behaviors.
The girl began the questions with Michael, about his abilities. Of course, code names hardly ever left much up to the imagination, they sort of gave away the mutant's ability the second you said them. Perhaps that was why using human names could be a better idea in some ways. No one could guess a Jenny could turn invisible, but Fade sort of danced the answer in the inquisitor's face wearing a bright pink tutu while holding a giant "I CAN TURN INVISIBLE" sign up.
The girl redirected her attention to Fade, asking if she could fade from reality. She sort of smiled, well, that was one way of putting it. "Not really from reality, but I can Fade from most people's senses," she said, making another mental note to work on all of those other senses she had yet to conquer, like heat signature. "I'm going to guess you're some kind of animal shifter, or something to do with an animal due to your headbobbing, and of course, you're name is Raven, so I'd say that's the answer there," she said, drawing conclusions of her own.
Muse, I think it would actually make things even more workable. Lets say Muse touches this mutant and enhances its powers and thats why it pulls so many people in, but the mutant can't wake everyone up, she doesn't know how, so it's like the enhanced range frozen? That would put Muse inside the illusion.
Here are the sign ups for anyone that is interested in this astral (now renamed illusionary) world mini plot. Anyone inside would be affected by illusions generally produced by your character's own subconscious projections, so things they find it hard to supress that has happened to them. Those one the outside fight to wake their loved ones up.
Inside the Illusion Ahorta Kealey Elizabeth Jorge Amber Aura Sapphire Ruby
The man introduced himself as Michael Chase, a name she still did not find familiar. Since he did not seem to recognize her and said he was at the Mansion a while back, it could very well have been when she was away. He stated that he used to be an X-Man and wished to rejoin. She knew the feeling, when Fade returned, she was completely culture shocked. Only a few of the X-Men were part of the team before she left and were there to recognize her when she returned. Though the new faces were not too bad to get used to: Shin, Sam, Shawn, Luke, Raina and Maya. Deathstar was around from time to time, but no sight of Iris or Tricity and especially not Raph.
"Well I can get you situated and introduce you to the new leader of the X-Men. Were you part of the X-Men when Tricity was in charge or were you after that?" she asked, keeping the fact that she was an X-Man on the backburner. It was best not to jump up and say she was one of the X's. Not to mention, they were being watched. Another climbed down from a tree and joined their conversation, asking Michael if he was an X-Man.
That was another reason why she did not say she was an X at first. When she was younger, it would have been a bragging right, but she had learned the true meaning of being an X-Man and she did not flaunt it, it was a lot harder than others would think. Anger could never take over too much to the point of killing another or cruel and unusual punishment. It took restraint, control, compassion, and morality. Plus, these days, she did not like the attention too terribly much. So she looked to Michael, allowing him to tackle this one.
Amber thanked her for the offer, which Fade guessed meant she would take her up on that. She still seemed a little shy but the stuttering was definitely decreasing, or maybe that was just the redhead getting used to it. No matter, it was not as noticeable. Amber told a story about how she once went to a dig site to touch fossils and Fade smiled. "Yeah, I'd say dig sites are pretty good places to look, but its usually just one or so dinosaurs. I got just the trick to get somewhere that has more options."
She got a good feeling from Amber. Somewhere in her mind, she told herself that Amber was not one of the kind of people that would transform into a giant T-Rex and wreck havoc on all of New York City. Then again, primeval properties could mean primeval behaviors, but it would certainly seem like a stretch for Amber to achieve something as ruthless as destroying a city. Plus, sneaking into a dig site to touch some stuff definitely gave her a much cleaner record than Fade had herself. All those years of stealing and breaking into places, Fade's good reputation was burned when she was just a child.
"Sure thing," she said, lifting up the plates Amber had just dried. She slipped out of the counter and began opening cabinets to put things away. When she had finished, the closed them all and began to wipe down her hands with the damp dish towel. "Sorry for holding you up for your class," she said, folding the dish towel. The gentle reminder of her wonderful breakfast lingered on her lips for a while and with every run of her tongue over her teeth, she felt even more full. "Thank you again for breakfast!"
