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's eyes met the empty black eyes of the other girl, an obvious mutant. Once her mind calmed down, she got an idea, and she closed her eyes. She needed something small enough to slip out of the ropes, but quiet so as not to attract unwanted attention.
With a small flop, a sock was soon in the chair instead of a girl, and the ropes fell to the floor. However, the duct tape was still in place, even as Paige shifted back.
Silently, she slipped over to the other girl and began untying her hands, constantly looking over her shoulder to see if the guard would look in. Then, she moved to the girl's legs before quickly ripping the duct tape off of her own mouth. Her eyes fell to Amber, wondering what would happen next.

Paige was hurt, but she wasn't unconscious. With every ounce of strength she could muster, she drew back her elbow as hard as she could, aiming for the back of the guy's head. With a grunt, he staggered, and she managed to get to her feet.
"Watch her! She's a shifter!" She heard one of the guys yell as she spun and caught another on the nose with a right hook. With one guy busy, and another groggy, that left her with two large men, clad in black. She took her stance, focusing only on her two attackers.
But she forgot about the other two. Before she knew what happened, she was surrounded. Then...a blow to the back of the head. "******* cowards..." she grumbled as everything went black.
Next thing Paige knew, she was in a moving vehicle. The darkness of the vehicle, combined with her grogginess left everything a mess of silhouettes, and she could hear distorted voices.
"The boss...happy...Alec's daughter....Perfect bait....lure...hiding..." "What...other one...?" "When the job's done..." The next words rang in Paige's ears before slipping into darkness again. "Kill 'em both."
"Ow...my head..." Paige grumbled as she came to, in a chair, in a dimly lit room. She moved to stretch...but couldn't. She struggled, but the twine binding her arms behind her back cut into her skin, and her legs were tied to the chair's legs. And...there was duct tape on her mouth. Her eyes came into focus, and she noticed the room was fairly small, maybe six by six, and she was facing some stranger, tied up just as she was.
The door was cracked, and she could see a faint light shining through it, enough to let her also see the shadow of at least one man standing by the door. Focus, Paige....you have to get out of this...
For awhile now, Paige would occasionally have spells where she couldn't sleep, and tonight was no different. Well, in a way, it was because tonight she decided to go for a walk, outside, as opposed to hanging around the mansion like she usually did.
The city air was actually nice, and a walk around the block did her some good, leaving the shifter more at peace. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail, and she wore a tee shirt, black sweat pants, and black sneakers. Only a year ago, she wouldn't have been caught dead in this stuff. But in reality, it really wasn't that bad. Maybe the girl was growing up after all.
As she turned the corner, she thought she saw something move, and she coulda sworn she heard whispering, but she wasn't sure. It was dark, and if anyone was there, they were probably wearing black. Then she felt a firm grip on her arm.
Thinking quickly, she jammed her elbow back into the diaphram of her attacker, and as soon as the grip loosened, she followed through with another blow and started running.
"Don't let Alec's daughter get away!" she heard one of them hiss, but she kept running.
Then all of a sudden, she was lying flat on her back, the wind knocked out of her; a third guy had close-lined her. Before she could react, she was slung over somebody's shoulder like a rag doll and carried towards a black van...

Paige sat on her bed in her room at the mansion, the subtle make-up she always wore smeared around her eyes from where she'd been crying. She'd been crying from sadness and nervousness, with a hint of excitement and fear mixed in. The letter in her hand that had come in today came in a plain white envelope, with no return address, and written in black ball-point pen with sloppy, almost hurried-looking handwriting that was just legible.
She almost didn't read it, not knowing who it was from. But her curiosity got the best of her, and after reading it...part of her wished she hadn't. Her green eyes were less piercing today, staring down at the now tear-stained yellow legal paper.
Paige, I want to start off by apologizing for this being my first time contacting you in a year. Things have been really rough since you left; your mother and I have divorced, and I'm in a bit of trouble. I'm in the city for a little while, and I want to see you. At six PM, go to the park, and shift into a spork on the Alice statue; I'll meet you there. Take care of yourself, Paige. I love you. It's probably best if you destroy this letter after you read it.
With Love, Alec Mason Daddy
It was all too weird. On top of everything else she was going through, she now had this. And she didn't even know what 'this' was. She had to go; she knew it, but something just didn't feel right. Her dad was never that brief, and why did he cross out his name and put 'Daddy?' It was unlike him.
Wiping the tears from her eyes, she took a deep breath and put her shoes on. Standing up, she made her way outside, then took off running for the address in the letter.

Paige had to chuckle at the boys' reactions, sitting there on the floor and covered in chocolate. Sure, there were plenty of reasons for her to get up and beat the crap out of both of them, but apparently some god, fate, or an all-powerful-fish thing was smiling on the lads today.
"Psycho? Eh, that's debatable, but has yet to be disproven..." she murmured. "Then again, the last time fearless leader over there saw me, I did kinda punch him in the face for bumping into me..." She rubbed her chocolate covered chin. "But that seems to have healed nicely," she added, which one would guess was her attempt at an apology.
Paige shrugged at the other kid. "Eh, **** happens. Not gunna kill you as long as I can have some fudge." She flashed a toothy smile.

Paige giggled. "No, I'm an evil pair of underpants, at the moment~" she answered back, a smug, victorious inflation to her voice, though mostly joking. "Go ahead, I'll just shift back before you can get me in there," she taunted, before shifting back.
"Sorry, I just had to," she said, giving her friend a hug. "Oh my GOD the look on your face was just...priceless." She gave a small laugh.

Paige gave a smirk. "And what if I did, hm sis?" she playfully challenged as her hair was ruffled, purposely adding the sis to the end in response. "Besides, what reason do you need, besides that it's funny?" She leaned over, putting the guitar in the case and shutting it before setting it to the side. "Really, I've only shifted into underpants once, and it was by accident. When I try to shift and don't put my mind into it, weird things happen. Like underpants," she explained.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed with a hint of evil and mischief, a grin crawling its way up Paige's cheeks. Just as suddenly as it appeared, it was gone. As was Paige's entire body. On the couch next to Kiva, now lay a pair of bright purple lacy undies with black trim.

"Yeah. He claimed he was doing a good deed, asked how he was supposed to know the shirt was a person." The girl gave a hearty laugh, then calmed. "I kinda felt bad for hitting him; he was just a kid...But he swore up and down he was right, so...I reared back and slapped him. He's lucky I didn't do worse. Little brat," she grumbled.
Her mood lightened considerably at Kiva's next question. "Yeah. That would be great. Someone to keep watch, yelling at people not to touch their spork, spoon, underwear...whatever, heehee..." She giggled lightly at the thought of that. Priceless.

Paige found herself laughing lightly at the conversation, though Persi forgot about her. Then again...maybe she was a repressed memory, the way she treated the poor kid. Well, it was his own fault for being so rude and wimpy to boot. Suddenly, she was snapped out of her thought process when the other kid licked her...LICKED! As in his tongue dragged across her face!
Wait...technically she didn't have a face, nor could she feel it in this state, but still! In a flash, the girl shifted back. The speed at which she shifted, plus the height at which she was held, caused the momentum of her feet hitting the ground to knock her on her backside, which was a good thing, too, considering Aiden's hand would have been on her as opposed to just brushing.
She glared up at the boys, her head covered in fudge, save for her piercing green eyes, and the tongue-track down her right cheek. "You...****ing...licked...me..." she snarled, then blinked, running a finger down the other side of her face and popping it into her mouth. "Mmm...not done yet, but not bad..." she murmured.

This actually felt...right. Her mutation, for the first time in her life, was giving her a sense of purpose. Usefulness.
And as soon as that thought passed through her head she was used for a groin-shot. "Gross...Great now I'm gonna have to go home and scrub my face with steel wool," she grumbled. Oh well, it was too late now.
Despite that one moment, this whole thing was quite the rush; that is, it would have been, if baseball bats had adrenaline. However, it did make her mind race and dance with anticipation.

Hopefully Kiva would never have to see one of Paige's breakdowns, which were less of a shutdown and more of a nuclear catastrophe.Page continued to play, the tune much happier this time, though still at a slow tempo.The blonde smiled. "Yeah, you've been like a sister to me. And I'm here if you need me, too."
The girl chuckled lightly at the washing machine thing, then it faded, remembering that didn't end so well for either party involved. "Well, I was practicing my shifting, and shifted into a purple Guns N' Roses shirt. Some kid decided to put me with the rest of his dirty laundry. Long story short, I slapped him." She gave a shrug, playing it like it was no big deal.

Paige nodded, biting her lip. "Yeah, well, family's important too. They needed you there; compared to that, barfights and getting thrown in washing machines really doesn't stack up," she gave a small smile as she sat on the couch, propping her bare feet on the table.
"Me...well, I've been having...breakdowns lately. Like I've had since I moved here, only more frequent. And...worse. But on the bright side I've gotten more confident, enough to play small gigs again. And I'm sorta getting a reign in on my mutation."
After she finished speaking, she opened the guitar case again, picked up the black acoustic guitar, and began to play lightly.

Paige just held on tight. "It's okay....I understand...I just...I missed you. I thought you weren't coming back..." After what seemed like forever and a split second at the same time, Paige finally let go.
"I just...alot's went on since you left.I don't know what's wrong with me lately...But, I'm so glad to see you. How've you been? You know...aside from the obvious."

By now it was probably obvious that Paige wasn't one of those girls.Paige tensed as she saw the slap, but she found herself quickly pushed down. She backed up so she was standing against the wall. Not scared, by no means. The young former rich girl was surveying her surroundings. The one she'd knocked out was the third biggest. But the fourth guy, he was maybe a hundred seventy five soaking wet. Even then she knew she didn't stand a chance.
"Some tough guy...trying to slap a 120 pound nineteen year old with your three buddies..." she grumbled under her breath. Paige did see the guys all tense up; and she knew if one would try to slap her, they'd have no problem at all jumping Sam. Maybe she wouldn't be any help in a fight like this, but...she could...even the odds a bit, just in case. She looked at Sam, then closed her eyes. She had to get this right; there was only one shot at it.
Clang! In a split second, a black aluminum baseball bat lay on the ground, the momentum of the shift sending her rolling a bit, just barely touching the side of Sam's foot.

It was another boring day at the Mansion; with Paige being alone. Just her and her many insecurities. The living room was empty, so she'd grabbed the acoustic guitar from her room, and made her way back to the couch, sprawling across it and resting the guitar on her thigh. Holding the pick between her fingers, she began to just improvise, letting a soft, sweet tune fill the air.
Her mind wandered a little as she started to relax. She couldn't practice in her room anymore, it was just too much for her; she remembered playing for Kiva, but then...back around Thanksgiving or Christmas, she left to be with her family. It was supposed to be a short thing, but...she never came back. Aside from her girlfriend, the dragon-chick was her best friend. As she thought on this, the guitar's melody became slower, sadder, almost longing, even.
Then...wait...Paige looked up at the head that poked into the door, and within that instant, the guitar was back in the case, and Paige ran and wrapped her arms tightly around the neck that was attached to the head. "Kiva!" She squealed happily, holding on tightly to her friend and roomate.
