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.

It was a Thursday night and Victoria was bored. So she walked barefoot, and in one of her less "pretty" dresses, to the living room area. No one was around at the moment which gave the little blonde a prime opportunity to get on the piano and start playing some little tunes. Some she hummed to while others she sang soft little songs. Her boredom slowly went away as she lost herself in the music.
You sound like you have a similarly awkward lifestyle as I do. Wish I could say we should be friends, but you hate the dark and I'm not fond of the day. But who knows. Welcome to MRO!

With the warmer nights arriving Victoria wanted to venture out into the city again. She loved the mansion, but she was still curious and wanted to explore places. Discovering new things delighted her especially if there was beauty associated with the findings. Some places she liked were picture framing stores as they carried posters of varying sizes with some amazing images. She would smile as she flipped through them. Colorful scenery, beautiful flowers and even different images of art always caught her eye. Other places such as a couple clothing stores and a movie theater brought smiles to her lips, but her favorite place was a music store. It was a place much like her mother’s music studio. They sold different musical instruments as well as gave beginning classes for people who wished to start playing music. This had become Victoria’s favorite hangout.
The store was named Key Notes and was ran by a very cheerful older man named Ned. When Victoria first discovered the store Ned saw her eyes widen with joy and amazement and so the man approached her and they talked music for hours while he let her play different instruments. The girl would treat the man to a song or two while playing a beautiful black grand piano as a thank you for his hospitality and kindness. Each time she played passersby would walk in out of curiosity. The people were drawn in by Victoria’s beautiful voice, and sometimes her voice would help boost sales as the people would look around the store and find something for themselves to buy or learn to play. It turned into a good arrangement as time went on. The man would even host special music nights where Victoria and others would play and sing.

A familiar voice called out her name. She hadn’t seen or heard from Serena in a while. The taller girl didn’t seem as nervous as Victoria remembered from when Serena first arrived at the mansion. It made the little vampire smile as she thought her friend had grown to feel comfortable being here.

With only a couple people truly knowing Victoria’s darkest secret of requiring blood to live the girl had to maintain a façade of normalcy for everyone else. This meant that every so often she would make her way to the kitchen and find some regular food stuffs to eat. A bowl of cereal, a sandwich or even a microwave meal here and there. She could taste everything like most others would, but even if she was truly hungry it wouldn’t do anything to quench the thirst.
Tonight half of a fillet of salmon was selected for the false meal. She wanted to have the appearance that she at least seemed to eat healthy.

It had been, what seemed like, a long time since Victoria had gone out to wander the night. She wanted to go see the night time sights and people. First things first. A growing girl needed to eat before going out. No need for any incidents on a night she hoped to enjoy.
Putting on one of her beloved dresses and brushing out her hair Victoria smiled at her reflection. She looked so sweet and adorable it even caused her to giggle a bit with excitement and happiness. A feeling that tonight would be a fun night washed through her as she set out.
Finding her way downtown Victoria heard some interesting music and decided to see where it was emanating from. The wonderful sounds of trumpets, saxophones, light tapping of drums and the plinking of piano keys were spewing forth from a building with a sign. Looking Glass Grand Opening!!! Live Jazz! Step on Down!!! Two things read from the sign made the girl smile brightly. First one being live music, and the second hinted to a story her mother had read to her once.
Excitement filled her as she made her way down the steps to the front entrance of the establishment. The music was playing a happy sounding tune which made Victoria have a little hop in her step. Oh how she was anxious to get inside and enjoy the wonderful tunes.
It all happened so fast. Hitting the ground Victoria let out a grunt from the impact. That’s when she realized she wasn’t alone on the ground. As Gawain began rolling away to get some distance. Victoria quickly sprang to her feet and assumed her fighting stance with a large smile spread over her lips.
The smile faded as the signal was given by the older boy. “Ohh...you’re done?” She moved closer in a slow nonaggressive manner to show she wasn’t still in fight mode. “I hope I didn’t hurt you too bad. Are you okay?” Her red eyes looked the boy over for a quick assessment.
Looking back into Gawain’s eyes she replied to his question with a slight shrug. “I’m tough and I don’t break.” The girl then shot a glance to Sam to see what he was going to do or say about everything. Her mind was still on the boy however. She really hoped she hadn’t hurt him seriously.

This little match was turning out to be great fun, at least it was in Victoria’s mind. They traded attacks with blocks or dodges and there was very little break between each. Gawain was speeding up his strikes so now Victoria was having to push to be faster to keep up. His training was obviously more advanced than hers, but she wasn’t letting that deter her.
Next thing the little vampiress new Gawain had caught her arm and was flinging her over his shoulder. The only thing she could think of to do before she was tossed to the ground was to use her free arm and try hooking it behind the boy’s neck. If she managed to get it she would close down her arm like a vice and try pulling him down with her. Otherwise this was going to be another embarrassing landing.

A surge of confidence rushed through Victoria when her impromptu counter-attack succeeded. Now she was feeling more relaxed and comfortable in the situation. Keeping her breathing steady and maintaining her fighting stance when possible, the little juggernaut watched Mirror as best she could. Dodging and side stepping strikes when possible and doing her best to block others. All the while looking for opportunities to strike back at open areas of Mirrors own defense.
She would put her full power into each attack and making sure to quickly retract her limbs. Don’t leave them out there for too long or you could get caught Sam’s words would pop up when appropriate as reminders to make sure Victoria was doing as she was instructed. The sparing was more fun now and she smiled more.
