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.

Most children in the mansion spent their free time playing, watching TV, or even going to classes. Evelyn, however, was on a mission, and that included reading as many books as she could carry without getting caught. Today she had a stack of criminology textbooks she managed to gather when no one was looking. The stack was heavier than she imagined, however, and even with the echoes, she was having a difficulty getting more than a few steps out the door.
After helping Jude with his rescue mission, she was more focused than ever to be a worthwhile part of his team. Not that anyone invited her yet, mind you, but she always had big ambitions. If she could come up with a decent argument she was sure she would earn a spot among the mercenaries. Elke would be upset initially that she took on adult responsibilities, but there was an itch she could not scratch when it came to pursuing bigger things. She had a tiny body but her brain wanted more. Today, it just needed to read what was in these books.
[Footsteps, approaching. Left. Topnbook, sliding, balance adjustment necessary. Oh for the love of... she did an awkward shimmy but to no avail. True Crime took a dip off the top of her stack and went sailing toward the floor.
The van had been quiet while the team infiltrated the taxidermy facility. There are some noises that could have been fighting, but it was no use listening since she promised she would behave. infultrated Evelyn considered that word while she practiced throwing stars into the cup holder. She could shut her eyes now and still make it, feeling muscle memory and her mutation weave together in harmony. Maybe she could keep working with Jude? He seemed to recognize her usefulness more than the Mansion staff did. Did black ops train kids? They didn’t seem keen on it, but she could hope, right?
There was finally movement and Jude returned with a boy practically drowning in an ugly jacket. He had a pair of bunny ears that dropped, and his body spoke more about what happened than Evelyn wanted to know. He looked, haunted. Instead of being relieved at his rescue, his body language kept playing the same thing over and over. [Disappointment. Self-loathing. Pain. Shame] Evelyn felt stunned. These people, they hurt him? Why did this boy feel so upset? Why wasn’t he happier they came? No, he was happy, but the other emotions were burying that, like ocean waves crashing down on him.
”He can sit here. I know what to do.” Evelyn said calmly. She put her stars in her backpack and let Zaid sit between them. Then she gently reached out a hand and touched him on the ear. The boy flinched initially as the echoes invaded, before Evelyn began to focus. Memories, she needed memories of happy things. Calm things. She focused on memories of painting, the excitement of putting color on paper. She focused on the thoughts of flowers, and walking through the park. She even thought of hanging out with Elke and the fun of having a new friend.
Like a hypnotist, she stroked his ears and let the playbacks smooth him. The bunny boy quickly grew peaceful and drifted to a deep sleep. As he curled up, Evelyn gave Jude a small glance, holding out the other hand if he wanted it. This was the only way she knew to be useful now, and she wasn’t sure why, but she desperately wanted to be useful.
Ah, the heart to heart was over and they were back to the incident of the broken Molotov bottles. She sighed, and stopped, pointing down the hall to a closet. ”Janitorial supplies are in here. I’ll get the monkey powered and a broom. But only because I want danger room access!” she insisted. She daintily darted to the closet and pulled out what she mentioned then returned to her crime scene.
The white powder absorbed liquid like magic. Science at its best. She let the liquid turn into solid goop and then took a broom and swept it up. She was a little short to manage the actual sweeping though. They needed more kid friendly tools.
Evelyn was pleased Jude filled in about the shooting thing. There were some things experience taught you that books could not. She had yet to be around any firearms, and frankly, she had little understanding what could happen if she jarred her brain too much. There were certain noises and experiences that frankly, pissed off the echoes. Loud noises seemed like it could be one of them.
Jude gave a description of her powers that she actually rather liked. Subtitles, audio descriptions. Yes, that was a bit what it felt like sometimes. It was a lot of information, but useful when used the right way. It also made sense when she considered how she avoided going crazy with them. How do you deal with subtitles you don’t want? Just don’t read them.
They pulled up the vehicle information, sifted through what they had, and just like that...a match. It felt, easy. Given what was in the voicemail, she knew that the individuals they were pursuing were dangerous. Maybe they knew the risk of being followed and acted accordingly. Or maybe they were overconfident. It was surprising how often the later was true. Evelyn had learned one of the biggest downfall of any criminal was when they decided they were too good to be caught. Hmm, maybe she should self-reflect on that?
As they drove, Evelyn and to be careful not to bump Bird of Prey with her arm. He seemed to twitch a couple of times at the incoming wave of information, and she glanced his way after one such moment.
”Hey, wanna see a trick?” She opened her backpack and pulled out a handful of little paper stars. She had practiced origami the other day and found these were great for target practice. She nodded at the cup holder on the ground, then touched his arm so he could hear the echoes. Military background must have been all that kept him from responding to the intrusion.
She tossed one star, intentionally missing. The echoes started correcting her, jabbering directions and calculations. She focused, letting the noise direct the next throw. Into the cup holder it went!
Thomas seemed mildly interested as she pulled her hand away. ”You know, with the right training, you could make a decent sniper.” he admitted. She planted a little star in his hand and proceeded to be a distraction for several miles.
Time went faster with the practice. Soon, they grew more serious as they approached their target. The building was a warehouse that looked mostly empty. It seemed to be along old shipping lines, perhaps used as a drop point between different suppliers. Now it obviously functioned as a drop-off for something worse. Evelyn rested a small hand on Jude's, letting the echoes guide them both. There were no games now. Just business. She noted the tire tracks, leading to a closed bay, and pinpointd the area more frequently traveled. She wasn't an expert on tire patterns, but one day she hoped she could be. That would have made matching the tracks easier to what she faced. Instincts said they were heading in the right direction.
As a minor holding area, it was easy to swoop in without gathering much attention. The mercenaries made quick work securing the scene. Evelyn didn't get to see much of the action because of her promise to minimize the danger she was in. She was a little disappointed. She wanted to study the men in action, but found herself cleaning paper stars off the floor of the van and putting them back in her bag.
When the coast was clear, she was able to head inside. They had apprehended two men in the end, resting inside the warehouse. They were busy rewrapping one man’s neck and had missed the intrusion. Sometimes, luck was better than all the planning in the world. The first man seemed bored and uninterested in their appearance. The other caught Evelyn's attention. When she saw him, she made sure Jude heard what the echoes did.
[Puncture wound, neck. Bite mark, hand. Neck similar to snake bite, hand similar to human.] He had a run in with someone, two someones. The tattooed guy would be their lead.
"You idiots think I'm going to tell you anything? F*** you," he spat, as if sensing the attention turning his way. Even if he didn’t talk, there should be a way to get the right address off him. They had sent Zaid somewhere new, and now they just had to find out where. Evelyn sighed. It would probably get dirty again. Making people talk had a way of doing that, if she knew anything from the internet.
Evelyn looked slowly around the room while they argued, and felt a cold chill as the echoes spotted something. There was a knife laying to one side, tossed up on a table like trash, and it still had dark stains like blood. She pulled her hand away from Jude, but felt it was already too late. Blood, there was blood. She looked at the ground, and saw more. She was more relieved than ever she told Jude to grab healing. If only tattoo face had taken the chance to grovel while he could.
Without being told, she put her hands over her ears. You look like you're having a bad day and someone is about to have a worse one... she remembered. This was one of those someones. She didn’t need the playbacks to pick up on the sounds of pain, but knew she couldn’t block them entirely. Hopefully, someone would gag him at least. She would appreciate that. He had to have a phone, an address.
The mercenaries did what they tended to do. And then there was the lead. Evelyn didn’t know why the location would make Jude’s emotions flare the way it did.

The mercenaries were good sports, all things considered. She could sense military energy from them, and maybe that had something to do with the way they followed the chain of command. Jude was young, but he was at the top of this mission. That made Evelyn feel pleased. She was more than happy to obey her new companion because he treated her as an equal, not as a child. The others, they doubted her, despite their best efforts to obey. But Jude was who she was here for.
"I agree to your terms." Evelyn said lightly, solidifying her place in the mission. She rather liked her hearing anyway. She glanced from one mutant to the other, wondering which one created the risk of damaging her ears. Then Jude was talking to her.
"Actually, it may be easier if I show you. She lifted one small hand in warning, to show what she intended to do. "You're going to share my powers for a moment. Kind of like, tapping a wire. Just, don't panic? And then, play that recording again." She added. Something in the voicemail was already making the echoes buzz.
When he seemed okay with it, she let her hand touch the top of his. She couldn't tell it was working other than the subtle shift in body language. She could only imagine how weird it was. Evelyn waited into he seemed to have adjusted to the sounds of the echoes. She had no control over their “volume” so that could be annoying for someone new. When he was set, she motioned for him to play the recording.
[Two voices close to speaker. Male, female. Distant city noises. Street traffic. Direction walking, attempting to identify location. Caller senses danger, trying to remain calm. Relay location. Give clues. Caller attempting to alert method to find them. Fight sounds, falling phone. Struggle. Split attack, surrounded likely. Vehicle within distance to identify plates. Identify, parking space. Time of day. Open street parking time of day. Research, specialty plates.]
Evelyn pulled her hand away, cutting the feed off as her brain took a tangent. She was already trying to process what she found without overwhelming him with the chatter. She spoke out loud so he could hear how she was deconstructing it.
"The...asset. He was with someone named Andrea when he noticed there was trouble. They must have been followed or something for there to be time to dial your number. He was already trying to relay information to get you to help. You can hear a fight, so she must have tried to defend them... the phone dropped, he...it sounds like he tried to fight back. Wherever he was, it was close enough to the van for him to see the plates and start yelling the numbers. They chose to break the phone, so it would do no use tracking that. But the plates may help.”
She shut her eyes, trying to think. "New York streets are super crazy, you can’t just pull over without drawing attention unless you have the right plates. So I would look into a delivery van, or handicap one with the start of those numbers. Do you have access to vehicle registration?” she blinked again, letting the roar of thoughts settle.
She waited, keeping a small hand in reach if he needed to use the echoes more.

Evelyn took a moment to roll her eyes at the woman. ”In another life, I’m pretty sure I was better than him. I mean, he was what, thirty, forty? How much of his life was wasted before learning his true potential. I plan to utilize every second and become smarter than anyone. Starting with these chemicals.”
Why couldn’t this girl just leave her alone? Now she wanted to look at the chemicals too? ”You look like you could take another swing at the lab tech situation if you wanted. I mean, since you can’t be a real cop right now. Unless you think interrogating seven years olds is a qualified Assignment? I don’t think I would fit into your job description.” she snuck a container of copper sulfate to the side, tracking the other girl’s actions. Was she stopping her? Stalling? Or had it been undecided. Honestly, she felt this girl was testing. They were dancing a clever game of words now.
I think we've all been there. Ah, so she was reading some things correctly. He had experience with deaging. That was useful to know. Had things not been so intense, she would have questioned him more. Especially since he said he had done the psychic thing before.
He was...interested in her opinion? No one ever wanted to hear what she had to say. If Evelyn could count the number of times she had been told to shut up, mind her own business, she would...well the echoes could actually count that, heck, she wouldn't think about it because damn they would try!
She let the situation play through her mind. He could copy a power, of anyone in the mansion. What power should he take? There were plenty of useful abilities. Mirror-walking, for one, was actually pretty great for a covert situation. Magnetism was another, which involved being able to fly. Then there was the kid who could adapt into all types of fish, but that could just be a mess. The girl who was always leaking gemstones? The coral kid? Yeah, some of those were not helpful at all. But, the healing.
Finally, she felt ready to answer. "I would consider the asset themselves. If they are someone who could defend themselves, I would go with something stronger to free them, because you might meet more resistance along the way. They would have already done what they could, so you would need more strength to top that? But if they are someone...more vulnerable. I would choose healing. You can always find people to help fight, but if someone is hurt, you may not have time to get them back here for help." Evelyn reasoned. She watched as he listened. Listened! This was what it felt like to be taken seriously. Then, she felt he had made his choice.
For some reason, this made her feel upset. Yes, he trusted her enough to ask the question, but she also knew, she was a child. In a seven-year-old body, no one would actually invite her to help on a dangerous mission.
With a flash of inspiration, she knew what to do.
When he had turned to retrieve whatever powers he must have decided on, she scurried to her room and grabbed her backpack. It already contained a number of things she had gathered with Elke. A little jar of powdered potassium from the science lab, a taser, some pepper spray, some rope. If it wasn't for the bunny ears on the back it would look like she was ready to go stage a kidnapping herself. Slipping through the door, she spotted the van parked outside the gates. With confidence, she strode up to it, politely knocked once, and opened a door.
Evelyn could see some sort of recognition cross his features the longer he glanced at her. Do I know you? How common those four words we’re becoming! This was becoming an annoyance for her and quite frankly, she found it a little frustrating. Everyone seemed to remember her, but her own experiences were gone. How could someone with a perfect memory actually remember so little? It was like a messed up joke. She struggled to work past it.
”My name is Evelyn, I used to be an adult. Now I’m not.” That was the simplified version of it anyway. She moved closer, letting the echoes prowl in their destructive little way. Something was really upsetting him. But why did she care? She hated adults, hated peoples who looked down on her, had no interest in making friends. Maybe, it was the fact he answered honestly to her question. One word, but meaning was there. He let that darkness show for a moment. The anger, the confidence. He was not like other adults. He had seen things.
He had that same energy she saw in herself. Someone not quite bad, but past the point of really being a good guy.
”I would shake your hand, but unless you enjoy hearing voices in your head, I would avoid skin contact. I have not learned to turn off that little quirk yet. Don’t get me wrong, the echoes are absolutely fabulous for my purposes, but people tend to think your a little freaky when you share their deepest darkest secrets.” in some ways, she felt she was testing him. How did he feel about her powers. Did he remember them? She lived here once before so it seemed possible she encountered other adults back then. Okay, it seemed really likely. She was wearing a one piece jumper today, short sleeves so her arms were bare. She had almost a Tom-Boy appearance, uninterested, except for her eyes. They were locked into a target. Whatever was happening, she had a sudden desire to be involved.
Not as a hero, or a helper, but from some type of strange magnetism. In a world of black and white, she had finally encountered another mutant brimming with all her shades of grey.
Evelyn watched the woman swatting at the light switch, wondering if she should have taken the opportunity to run while she had it. This adult in particular seemed to lack a certain, coordination? Tactical advantage? She considered several different ways she could explain it while taking the chance to shut one eye so the light wouldn't blind her. Finally, there it was. She squinted, blinking as she took in the appearance of the stranger. She certainly didn't look as old as some of the teachers here, and something about the way she phrased things.
[Mentions yesterday, legal badge. Current predicament, match. Possible age loss.]
"Wait, wait, wait. Don't tell me." The girl plopped down onto the bar stool so her legs were hanging off the edge, and put her face in her palms. They were almost the same height this way and she had a rather cocky looking expression. She loved when she figured things out all on her own. "You magically de-aged, and now you're stuck in a younger body, so the badge you once carried had a certain legality in your previous lifeline, but since you lack those memories and experience your badge is pretty much just a costume prop now." She hopped down, and scooped up the bottle of potassium. This would be useful if she wanted to create a diversion. Volatile, and it reacted to water. Nice!
"And what does it look like I'm doing? I'm taking inventory. It's not the most well stocked assortment, but there are useful things here."

Evelyn was sitting in the living room of the mansion today, surrounded by what looked like unusually detailed bank blueprints. Her sharp eyes were looking from one to another, calculating entry points. It was sort of a game she was putting together for Elke. You know, criminal minds type expertise. She would gather a scenario for them to work through and just pretend to be criminals executing the mission. At least, that is the story she would tell any adult who came through.
The echoes heard someone arriving and Evelyn looked up, spotting a face in the doorway. Her silver eyes gazed at him without recognition, but she had that unusual twist in her stomach seeing his face. [Withheld emotions, anger, concern.]
Without understanding why, she stood, brow narrowing. ”You look like you’re having a bad day... and are about to make someone have a worse one.” She stated simply.
Evelyn had behaved the past week, really. After the Molotov cocktail incident, she did not set fire to anything in the mansion. Well, intentionally. There was that incident with the stove and some rather flammable oil, but how did anyone expect her to accomplish much when she was too short to properly reach the stove!
Tonight she was not dealing with flames at least. This was more of an intelligence gathering reconnaissance, if she had to label it as anything. Rummaging through the supply cabinets, she was making note of what she found and storing that information in her brain. It really did save some paper being able to remember everything, to be truthful.
She was at the top of the shelf, trying to read whatever was hidden behind a little jar of potassium when the bottle fell over and clattered to the floor. Whoops. From her perch on the barstool she had used, she winced as it hit the floor.
Within moments, someone was hurrying her way. Not mirror not mirror not mirror... She was NOT going back into time-out. She was seven, not five, thankyouverymuch!
In came a girl, flashing a police badge. Evelyn's eyes had already adjusted to the dark so she could make out most of the outline. But the girl holding it, didn't quite...add up? The badge was current, she knew that, having seen a number at the station the other day. But there was no way she was an academy graduation at that size.
Crossing her arms, her eyes stared down the girl. "It may be dark in here, but I'm pretty sure that badge has no legal authority in your hands." she quipped. True, she wasn't really supposed to be here, but she wasn't the one flashing around a badge like a cop! Plus, Elke and her already decided, cops were the enemy!
Evelyn felt a hand on her back and her entire figure went ridged. Despite the meltdown she was having, the comfort was equally surprising. People didn’t do that. She was not uneducated enough to lack knowledge of hugs completely, but this type of reassurance was foreign to her. Her first instinct was to push Maya away, but she felt frozen.
Breathe... she gave a struggling attempt to compose herself, and then made the slow and stiff movement away from the other girl. She had a moment of weakness, true, but they weren’t friends. She only had one friend. Elke.. Elke with her grandnplans and large ideas. Elke who liked her but didn’t pity her or try to change her.
Maya was right, she didn’t have to do it alone. The only problem was the companion Evelyn had chosen was a bad influence. ”I don’t think I did as well you remember. But I have to do better this time.” her brow was knitting with resolve, and the traces of older Evelyn seemed to be pushed aside again. In this bridge between times, compassion was still losing in her heart.

Evelyn smiled, laughing a little to herself as Elke mentioned the cards. "Well, I mean, my parents have to pay them off considering I'm not even legal age to own them now. And they are, quite frankly, conceited asshats." She never held back when it came to her parents. She held no love for them, no withheld pity. They were manipulative and repressive toward her for the years she could remember, and even those she didn't.
"If we borrow, I just want to make sure that we are still getting quality material. Being cheap is one thing, but you need to make sure we are able to achieve what we really want." Evelyn was not going to turn down fun, but she wanted to make sure they still got decent materials.
As she listened, she felt that Elke had abstract ideas, but they were still goals. That was something she had always lacked. Evelyn wanted to have a purpose, a point to her life. In some ways, she agreed with the mission too. She felt she had powers that weren't being properly taken advantage of. She felt that she was belittled and put down because of what she was. If she could change that, she wanted to. She was not keen on doing things to help others, but to help herself? Yes, she was that selfish.
"I'd love to see your hideout. Maybe another night we can make it happen? We will get supplies, finish tagging today and then...start your revolution!" Evelyn felt a new feeling in her gut. Excitement. It had been so long since she had goals to look forward to.

For the first time since she deaged, Evelyn was struggling to process things. Her brain was jarred by the lack of memories to help her, and her echoes were trying to piece it all together. The apartment she lived in, her blocked contact with her parents, the way Maya has said Who hit you? She swiped at her eyes, sniffling.
”You thought...no, they haven’t. My parents, that is. I guess they didn’t become better people when I got older...? I figured, since they blocked me, I mean. At least they would never do something that would leave a mark like that. Gossip is a dirty weapon when you’re upper class.” she mocked. She was not going to get into the fact she had been hit a number of times in the past, but slaps tended to fade quickly, and there were plenty of punishments that didn't leave a mark.
Things could probably be clearer to Maya the longer they talked. This Evelyn never had Jensen there to help her. She never had an adult who cared about her powers or what she could do. This was the Evelyn from the youngest years, the freak who her parents did everything to silence. The rebellion, the attitude, the fits of aggression. This was a child trying to find herself in a world that never gave her a direction. Only the echoes were there, the uncaring, calculating, emotionless voices. No wonder she was already a mess.
”I didn’t have memories of my powers manifesting, so I figured it must have been from back then...From older me? I, I don’t like this...” she swallowed hard, gripping her hair in her fists. Her head hurt, her brain hurt. It felt like her body was revolting against what was happening now. She could smell gasoline everywhere from the bottles, trying to prevent the sensation of regret. It was there, that human strand that had grown and flourished as an adult. The desire to do things, be better than the people who raised her. There was the adult emotions that had not gone away even with her memories: an instinct to protect someone she cared about, the wish to make someone proud, the fear of being a disappointment. She could not remember things, but it was in her heart that she had been something different, grown into someone better. And now, that person was gone.
"Telling me more won't make these stupid powers go away! Telling me more wont stop the fact that whatever happened to put me back to this age is only speeding up whatever chaos my powers were already creating!” the unwritten fear was there the more she thought about it. The old Evelyn disappeared, ran away from the people who cared about her. She lacked the age and experiences of that life, but her heart felt the same jolt of panic. What if her powers had really caused her to break? What if they were set to do it again? Was there any way to stall her decent into insanity.
Would she really go insane? How often could those painful memories come back? Was there a limit on the play back? Memories, over and over and over. No....nonononono.

Evelyn put her head against her hands still feeling dizzy from the experience. As snotty as she was, this power was still new and very unsettling. Why had it felt so real? She was rethinking whether she was enjoying being this age again.
Maya seemed to have an understanding what had happened, as evident by her response and the question that came with it, ”Oh, you know how those work.” she had the humility to look embarrassed for the first time. Hitting yourself with your own powers had a way of doing that. ”There was a girl, in school. She didn’t like that I rattled on her and she had a pretty decent right hook. Turns out, still hurts a year later...”
She wanted to rub away the growing bruise she knew wasn’t there. She was embarrassed there were tears in her eyes now. She no longer felt very tough. ”Maya...” there was a sudden, very quiet tone to her voice as she glanced down at her hands. ”Did my powers ever...scare me. When I was...older?”
