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.

Paige grabbed him by the collar, pulling him so her face was only inches from his. "THAT," she hissed, "is what the hell happens when you nearly knock me the **** over!" Her eyes were narrowed into a downright evil glare as she shoved him away, clenching her fists and debating hitting him again just for the sheer heck of it.

Paige had gotten to a point where she was looking for an excuse to snap on somebody, anybody. Suddenly, some idiot teenager decided to give her what she was looking for. She was used by now to being brushed past rudely, but this...she found herself pushed, and it nearly knocked her flat on her back. If it could have, steam would have poured from her ears and the young woman forgot about getting home as soon as possible.
She stomped after the kid, his face practically burned into her brain. When she caught up to him, she said nothing even though she wanted to. Another urge overpowered the one that wanted to throw every insult in the book at him.
Instead, she grabbed him firmly by the shoulder with her left hand and spun him around as she threw a hard right jab at his jaw. Maybe somewhere down the line her parents had regretted letting her take those self-defense classes, for that very right hook was what almost kept her from graduating due to her disciplinary record...

Paige chuckled as Kiva started singing, blushing a little. Okay that was...well it wasn't horrible but it wasn't exactly good either. The blond shifter coughed, looking at her. "I mean if I improvise music, it has no words so you can't sing along," she murmured. "It was kinda supposed to be a joke, heh."
She fidgeted awkwardly for a moment, then decided for a random subject change. "So...you know I can change into more than just a spork? Though...anything electronic won't work. But hey, makes good for a game of hide and seek, no?" she giggled a little.

Paige smiled a little, nodding in response. "I gotcha," she answered. "I'm starting to like you too, but how about we slow things down a little? I mean, we did just meet, heh. Nothing personal, you might just wanna see exactly what you're getting as far as people go." She winked, lying back on the couch.

Paige nodded, smiling. "I'd definitely hang it in my apartment. It'd liven the place up quite a bit. Trust me. It needs a little life." Paige gave a nod and walked with her. "Yep, guitar. I can play acoustic or electric. I had the idea to play in the park for tips on the side, but I haven't gotten around to actually doing that yet, heh."
She giggled, trying to picture Kiva singing, and she really couldn't tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing, though she assumed the latter. "Well if it helps I can improvise pretty good," the shifter replied with a wink.

Paige was fast asleep, as a matter of fact, but she wasn't so out of it she didn't have a clue what was going on. When she felt a soft pair of lips resting against hers, her eyes fluttered open, but she returned the kiss, letting them drift shut again. She couldn't say she was surprised, but she wasn't expecting her to make a move like that, especially so soon.
Pulling back, the blond smirked, brushing her hair aside. "Well, do you thank all your musicians who serenade you that way, or did I just get lucky?" she teased lightly, a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

Paige snuggled into Chloe's shoulder as her exhaustion got the best of her. She could feel a hand playing with her hair, which relaxed the girl even more. Soon, she was in a light sleep, feeling warm and comfortable in the arms of her new friend.
But then she felt lips on her forehead, and a small smile crossed her lips as she sighed contentedly. Was she that asleep, or did she notice? One couldn't be sure, but she nuzzled the other shifter a little in her sleep.

"It's a pretty song," Paige replied as she got to the solo, making that acoustic guitar do things it likely wasn't meant to do. The song was meant for electric, but the spork-shifter didn't care. Besides, this was a rather nice version of it.
Of course, Paige didn't realize what Butterfly was thinking, but she had to admire the girl for some reason. She was sweet, and for some reason the butterfly took a real liking to her. She continued singing, smiling at Chloe's words, which she had to admit were the sweetest things she'd ever heard said about her.
"Thanks," she murmured, blushing lightly when she'd finished, standing up and putting the guitar in its case, but leaving it on the coffee table for now as she sat back down. "Maybe," Paige answered, relaxing on the couch and laying her head on Chloe's shoulder, closing her eyes. Playing as much as she had wore her out, and now that she was done, she was kind of exhausted.

Paige grinned. "Hey, I may not be an artist, but as a musician, I can relate. I've played guitar since I was six. Well, I started trying when I was six. I was nine before I could remotely do anything slightly decent." She giggled a little.
"Yeah, I understand. I make all my money in a coffee shop, and let's face it, I hate coffee." She sighed softly. "Me? Keep it? Sure! It'd add some life to my cruddy apartment," the girl said lightly with a small shrug.

Today...was not Paige's day. The morning started off with her being late for work because she slept in. Once she finally got to work, all hell had broken loose. If it could have gone wrong, it did. Customers getting the wrong size or order, the manager yelling at her. They even had her cleaning the restrooms when things had calmed down.
And now, she was finally off of work, and heading home, when she realized she had to go to the store, and now here she was, trudging down the street with grocery bags in each hand. Milk, eggs, bread, orange juice, and a bag of assorted canned goods and frozen dinners.
She stomped her way down the sidewalk, trying to avoid people. The sooner she got home, the better it would be. Of course, given the time of day, it was crowded because everybody and their brother had somewhere to be.

Paige obeyed, holding perfectly still as Kiva drew her. This was a first for her, and she had to admit she rather enjoyed it. Then, came the wait as Drake added the extra details, apparently going through the actual 'transforming' process now.
Finally, the shifter walked over, looking at the sketchpad. Her eyes widened and her lips curled into a smile. "Rough? I love it!" she practically squealed. "You've got some real talent. If I ever decide what I want, I'm definitely calling you for my tattoo," she said sincerely, still grinning.

Paige blinked, jumping as the girl was now sprawled across her lap. She giggled, setting her guitar back in the case, having to reach over the girl to do so, but it didn't really matter. It was...cute, to say the least.
"Heh, I take it you liked the little show," she teased lightly.

Paige merely nodded at the conversation, understanding, at least to an extent. After all, today was the first time she'd even seen snow. Then, she blinked at Kiva's request, then remembered what the'd talked about and her face lit up. "Sure," She replied, walking over to the tree, reaching up and grabbing the bottom branch, as instructed.
She sort of instinctively put her other hand on her hip, not quite 'sexy' or 'provocative,' but more naturally and not like she was told to. "Like this?"

Paige chuckled awkwardly, shrugging a little. "I miss California. The sun, beaches...everything was so much...less...cold. I've met a couple people, but not like the ones I built over the years in California. And so far...I hate it here. Maybe it'll get better."
Sighing, she took out her guitar again, sitting on the couch and playing a light, soothing melody.

Paige nodded lightly, though she didn't really understand the whole 'snow' and '40 below freezing' concepts. Then again, that was with good reason. "Yeah, I need to relax today, that's for sure," she replied with a small shrug.
"I can't wait to see you draw, but I really wouldn't know about 'snowing so little.' You know, California girl. All I know is I hate cold and snow is cold so...guilt by association. Oh, and I'm serious about looking you up at work one day. Just not sure what I'd want, heh." She gave a slight shrug. Her parents hated the idea of her having a tattoo, but...they were all the way in California.
