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.

Victoria blushed at Serena’s comment and compliment. “It’s Estonian. That’s where I grew up.” A soft giggled interrupted her. “Not many people know where it is, but I’m glad you like the word.” The girl gave a huge smile that quickly turned to an embarrassed blush. “I know some places, but I never got a map. My teacher showed me around when I first got here.”
Looking back to their new four-legged friend Victoria noticed the curious look on the wolf as well. She had seen dogs do just what emahundi was doing. The look of trying to figure something out, but as the little blonde girl explained the word the wolf returned to her normal posture.
Once the foreign word had been ok’d by everyone Victoria watched as another book was pulled from a different shelf. This one has something on it though. “Almost mimicking the gesture emahundi had done moments ago Victoria now tilted her head for a moment as she read the paper. “You’re name is Emerald Lupin? That’s a very pretty name! I’ll call you Emerald now ok?”

The tension that had appeared the same time the wolf girl entered the library was fading quickly. Friendly gestures from the wolf as well as the girls helped that immensely. Victoria was starting to like the wolf girl. She watched as the books were placed back where they had been withdrawn.
Looking up to Serena the smaller blonde smiled. “Looks like Emahundi doesn’t want anyone to get in trouble for leaving books out.” Victoria paused for a moment as she realized she had used and Estonian word. She felt a little embarrassed. “Umm…sorry. Emahundi means female wolf in Estonia. It just came out easier than saying it in English.” The girl looked at the wolf. “We don’t know your name wolfy. Can you show us what your name is?” This came after the crumpled paper was dropped at their feet. “It’s a map!”

It had been a day and a half since Victoria had her run in with Kait after trying to sneak back from feeding. The red haired girl had been very helpful and even offered to get Victoria a new supply of blood packs. That gesture earned Kait some big points and Victoria hoped they could be better friends. Normally they would just see each other in passing around the mansion or in class.
Victoria made her way through the halls to find Kait’s room. What number was it again? 4 something…410? No. Maybe 412? That didn’t sound right either. Oh wait! Here it is! 413. That sounded right. Her little hand reached up and knocked on the door. She could feel her hunger starting to rise. The thought of getting blood packs wasn’t helping any either.

Mister Holloway tried to explain what happened that caused him to turn into a shadow of himself. Chase’s question about shapeshifting sounded like a good one to Victoria. After all, her teacher’s shape did shift. “So you do this anytime you might be in danger?” Victoria could see how it could be useful. How do you hurt a shadow?
Red eyes watched Chase as he poked the shadowy form. He quickly pulled back though. “Did it feel like velvet? It’s soft huh?” Victoria remembered touching the shadow that handed her a book earlier in the tour. It was so soft and surprised the girl that it even felt like anything.
With the tour continuing Victoria nodded in agreement to the destination. While she didn’t eat like most normal people she still could eat if only for appearances. So it would be good for her to know where the kitchen and dining room were. It was also nice that Chase wanted to join them even if he was only taking back his glass. Victoria felt better that the boy was comfortable enough to be around her.

Penelope’s plan sounded like a great one! They would win for sure. With Miles going after Penelope he wouldn’t know to look behind him. This was going to be good.
Quickly looking around the immediate area Victoria spotted a good hiding place, but first she took off her shoes and placed them by the door. Running off down the hall a little ways she hid around the corner that led down one of the many hallways in the mansion. She was now relying on Penelope’s distraction to work.
Then came the Miles zombie. He didn’t sound as threatening as before though. Could zombies ask for brains? The girl didn’t think that was right, but dismissed it. She didn’t want to be distracted or their plan might not work.
Victoria had to cover her mouth to keep from laughing as her partner yelled out the best insult to a zombie ever. Waiting for just a moment the blonde slowly peeked around the corner. Good! He’s going for it!
Letting the Miles zombie walk a few feet towards Penelope Victoria sprung into action. She timed it just right so that Miles zombie was passing by one of the couches. This was gonna be a perfect ambush and a win for all mankind. Victoria ran barefoot down the hall then leapt up onto the couch and with arms out stretched and aimed for Miles head she lunged forward causing her hands to make contact with the back of Miles zombie’s head. Unfortunately her momentum carried the rest of her into a collision with Miles.

Serena asked the wolf if it could speak. You’re smart. Victoria thought the older blonde had this all figured out. She kept asking all the right questions. Luckily the wolf responded which, to Victoria, showed the wolf was smart too.
When the wolf moved off towards the books Victoria, in a slightly awkward moment, had to take a look as she walked back over to Serena. Tugging on the taller girls arm to get her attention Victoria whispered. “It’s a girl wolf.”
That being satisfied the girl watched curiously as the wolf began pulling books off the shelves. “Umm..wolfy? I don’t think they want you to make a mess in here.” The wolf continued her business until several book were on the floor. “I hope we’re not gonna get in trouble for this.”

Victoria turned to leave but she was quickly stopped by Kait. She looked surprised at the girl wondering what was wrong. That’s when Kait explained about the blood on the doors and fingerprints. The blood covered blonde stopped and watched Kait open the door.
Just before stepping out Victoria heard Kait tell her about the blood packs and what room she was in. Victoria smiled again brightly. “Aitah Kait! I’m very grateful to you. See you around the mansion.” With that the girl made her way carefully to her room and cleaned up.
All Victoria could do was stand there smiling big at the red haired girl. She was really going to help out, and she seemed happy to do it. That in itself made Victoria feel over joyous. She wanted to hug the other girl but then quickly dashed the thought. She didn’t want to get blood on Kait. In fact, she needed to get changed and cleaned up very soon before someone else spotted her.
“Thank you so very much Kait! That means a lot to me! I hope we can be friends.” The little vampiress smiled again. “I should really get going so I can clean up.”

The wolf got up and moved closer. It made Victoria stop for a moment as she let the animal sniff her hand. She was prepared just in case things went badly. She pictured the wolf chomping on her arm at which point she would do her best to keep the beast occupied in hopes Serena could go find help.
In a bit of a surprise move after the wolf sniffed the little blond girl’s hand it moved its head under her hand. Her hand was now resting on top of the wolf’s head. So gently Victoria started to pet in short strokes from front to back on the animal’s head. The fur was soft and thick. Victoria looked back to Serena with a smile. “I think it’s a nice wolf.”

Serena spoke to the big creature hoping it was a mutant. Victoria was hoping for the same thing now, but would the wolf understand them? As far as Victoria knew it took special training for dogs to react when spoken too.
Her wonder was answered when the fearsome wolf suddenly made its self look like a still scarred goofy looking animal. The little blonde waited for a moment and watched before moving closer to see what sort of reaction the wolf would give. She knew she needed to put her hand out to let an animal smell her to see it she was liked or not. “Nice wolfy.”

Guiding the tour into the library she responded to Serena. “Yes, I love art. I like pretty things. I was home schooled by my mom before coming here so she only went over some science stuff.” Victoria stopped a few feet into the library so she could let the older girl take in the volume of books the mansion had.
Smiling in hope that Serena’s reaction would be a good one she watched for a moment. Victoria thought she had done a good thing by showing this place first. That was quickly interrupted at the sound of a rather deep bark, and it was very close by.
Spinning around with a gasp the little girl’s red eyes locked on to a very big wolf. Did someone know there was a wolf loose in the mansion? “Woah! Umm..nice wolfy.” This was turning into a Harry Plotter novel. Victoria didn’t know what Serena could do but she moved to put herself between the wolf and the new girl just in case. She didn’t want to get chewed on but if she had to in order to save Serena she would endure the pain.

Her red eyes widened with joy at Kait’s statement. If she could do that then there wouldn’t have to be anymore senseless deaths. “You could?! Really?! That would be so great! I’d be so thankful to you Kait!”
Wondering how the other girl could make this possible, ideas swarmed her head, but she quickly shook them away. Right now she was just happy that this girl was willing to help her. Perhaps she was in the process of making a new friend. That in itself would be a wonderful thing.
