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.

"Well its very British." He said with a chuckle, it was rather cool to watch but a tea cup was a tea cup and he was confident he could top it. With a last puff of his cigarette he exhaled a small cloud of ash, curving it around their heads as to not choke Serena. Letting the orb in his hand float down to the floor to merge with the slightly larger cloud.
A few thought and a flick of his wrist sent the cloud swirling, before fixating a image of what he wanted in his head he started to flex his fingers, imagining himself shaping the cloud into the desired image.
A pull here, little rougher, bit larger and...perfect.
With a click of his fingers and a smile he watched as the cloud collapse in on itself and the creation he envisioned take form. Another click and a little grey/ black shape hopped up and took the cup from midair, before landing on his shoulder.
Barely as big as his head, It had long ears and a cute button nose, rounded body and strong back legs, holding the tea cup in its short stubby arms, it was a...bunny. With small amounts of smoke rolling off of it. "So hows that one for ya?"

So far things where going to plan, right until he heard the angry cry coming worryingly close to him. Realizing to late what was about to happen he had no choice but to take the hit coming from the odd looking mutant, as the fist hit him he was thankful that the ash cushioned some of the blow, even with the added protection he was still sent flying a good few meters. As he landed he let the ash break apart and form a landing zone that helped to catch him and not break his bones on landing.
With a groan he pulled himself to his feet, using the cloud underneath him to assist him in standing up. He looked around for a moment and spotted the mutant that had hit him, and he had hit him hard his head was pounding like someone had hit him with a truck. Tasting something odd in his mouth he spat and was puzzled to see a blob of his blood hit the floor. Damn must have bit my tongue He thought, hoping that it wasn't anything more serious than that.
With a thought he sent the cloud rushing towards the newcomer in two long streams, which promptly broke apart in midair as a new wave of pain shot through his head. He knew that if his headache didn't stop then he would get beaten so fast it would be embarrassing, with a effort he managed to get the ash to return to him and stay floating in several rings around him. With the headache he was beginning to doubt he would be able to concentrate enough to control the ash at any distance more than a meter or so.

Leon smiled as the door unlocked for him, it was reassuring to know that Aura was doing her part in the plan, Peaking through the door he was slightly unnerved by what he was seeing. When he was told about the mutant he was to take down he imagined him to be...smaller. Glancing at the form his ash had taken he realized it just wouldn't work, he needed it to be faster and more mobile. With a quiet sigh he let the ash break into two clouds next to his arms, each roughly the size of his torso.
It was time to start, if he waited any longer it would defeat the purpose of him being there, fixating his gaze on the large head of the ritual he kicked the door open, sending the rapidly cooling clouds around the room in a large arc to the leader taking care to not hit Aura as they made their way around. The speed that the clouds where going at made them cool quicker so when they hit the man they where just black, with no specks of heat or glowing fires. Hitting the man didn't have the effect that he had hoped it would as he was much heavier than he had expected. But the force of the ash crashing into either side of him did make him stumble and be engulfed by a large black cloud.

Jame's question struck Leon as being very philosophical, tackling issues like purposes and why we where given powers, things that he tried not really to talk about as he mainly used his for laughs. "Well I don't pretend to know why we have these powers, but I must say that I find mine fun, like i don't even have to move to get food off the BBQ. Its like the whole BBQ just floats over on its ashes. It brings a whole new meaning to fast food." It was one of the more trivial uses for his power but never the less one he found brilliant.
"As for when you should use it, I say use it whenever you feel like it. Its what I do and if people reject me like they did then, well, its their choice not mine so.....yeah." He said trailing into an awkward silence as he tried to find the words to finish his sentence, he couldn't seem to find the words to help him as both of there powers where so...different. Like sure its all well and good saying that he could eat burnt food with his mind, but how could that help someone who turns into a metal man.
He rested his head on his pillow and stared at the ceiling, the day had been a long one and had taken more energy out of him than he had originally thought, but even without being tired the questions would have been taxing so now they where making more of a mess in his mind than he thought possible. It seemed to him like asking a mouse about how cheese is made, the mouse wont know the mouse will just eat the cheese. He applied the same logic to his power, don't ask how or why, just have fun with it.

Her explanation laid his worry's to rest, and he could feel his face return to normal. Now that he knew what she had planned he felt like an idiot, but in some ways rather happy that she had not planned a date. No her idea was much better than that, and he loved it.
"Now that sounds like an amazing idea, although I may need to get some more ash....." He said pulling his pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, With a thought the fresh ash from the lit cigarette darted into the pack and lit them. Another few thoughts and the pack was shredded by a small rotating orb of ash. It wasn't as much as he would have liked but it would be enough for some small displays.
"Just to clarify that wasn't a go by me, I was just making more ash." He said with a little laugh, hoping that things hadn't become awkward between them. But what else was a guy going to think if a girl brings him to a secluded moonlit spot. "So seeing as it was your idea why don't you start things off?"

When they reached the hill he instantly knew why she liked to come up here and read, the place was by definition beautiful, with the added bonus of a little cover from the trees. It reminded him allot of the places people in movies go for the cliche date....oh.
He felt his cheeks go red as he blushed, to be honest he hadn't really thought of Serena in that way before and wasn't really thinking about her like that at all, to him there friendship was just a friendship and that's all he wanted. Pulling out a cigarette and his lighter he quickly lit one to try and help himself relax, and it would help him with getting more ash for whatever she was planning. As he would hate to go ruining one of these trees.
"OK so we are here now, um, what exactly where you planing to have us do up here?" He said hoping that he had stopped blushing.

He sighed and let himself flop down onto his pillow, talking about the past had brought up a mixture of different emotions and feelings that he thought had left him. A mixture of pain anger and sorrow welled up inside making him feel oddly calm, as though the emotions balanced out the existing pains he had.
"Well I didn't think to look at it like that, but either way that was then this is now. And I do have a much better grasp on my powers." It was true that he was in a way desensitized by the ordeals but in a way they also shaped who he was, given the chance he knew he wouldn't have changed what happened. "Anyway what do you mean being made of metal sucks, metal rocks, like you could get stabbed and have the knife break while I would get well....stabbed." He said with a little laugh.
He couldn't seem to grasp why being made of metal would be a problem, it seemed like a pretty good trade off to him, like you get a bit heavier sure but at the same time you would get to be a super metal man breaking things and blocking weapons with your bare hands. He wondered if James just didn't like his mutation after the unfortunate problems it caused.

As they set off walking he tried to figure out what they where going to be doing, so far he knew that it involved mutations and apparently he would enjoy it. Well whatever it was going to be she was obviously excited about it so It must be good.
He was rather excited himself, the secrecy made the whole thing mysterious and much more exciting than if he had just been told straight out. The fact that it involved his mutation was appealing to him, he used it often enough but not knowing what she wanted him to do with it made it feel more...rebellious.
Eventually the tension of not knowing got to much for him to take. "So where exactly are we going?" He asked trying to sound casual.

Leon checked his watch, by his check it was almost time to go, he was slightly apprehensive about what he was about to do. If he misjudged a move or missed then it would be game over and most likely make Aura very angry, which he really didn't want to do. Taking a deep breath he pulled all the ash he could out into thin streams around him letting the flames on his body heat them to a healthy glow. From his knowledge of the plan there would be a few guards to get rid of then he could cut loose.
Deciding it was time to start moving he stepped through the door that would lead him to the guards, he knew that going in like this wouldn't be the most stealthy, but he was certainly more dangerous than those humans. As he walked he pulled the thin streams into six thicker tentacle like creations, each attaching itself to him in a different place to leech heat from his flames.
Looking round a corner he saw the guards that blocked the way to the room, remembering he still needed to be quiet for a little bit he concentrated for a second to make the ends of the tentacles split into pointed claw like appendages, happy with the way they looked and to some extent "felt" he dashed around the corner.
He used two of the tentacles to grab the men by their faces and lift them in the air, while two more grabbed the men by their throats, one pull and the men where dead. It sort of went against the whole deaths need to be hidden, seeing as the holes could not be hidden or mistaken but this close he doubted it mattered much. Putting the body's down he prepared himself to enter the room.

"Yeah everything is fine, just James." He said to Serena kindly. He thought she knew James but he couldn't be very sure, he couldn't remember ever really seeing the two of them together, but it could have have happened.
Pretty soon he saw James enter the room, he had gotten to know James quite well he thought and was definitely past the begin stage of awkwardness, which he knew was quite a problem for James, one that he hoped would clear up in the future as having social awkwardness can be rather annoying at times.
He continued sipping his tea as he watched James make his way towards them, as he got closer Leon could see him starting to get more awkward which was annoying as he hoped they where past that, but there could be another reason as this was the first time he had seen James around Serena since arriving at the mansion. He couldn't help but get a little grin as he realized why he was starting to be awkward.
"Sup James, finally decided to wake up? Ah well doesn't matter come and join us." He said lightheartedly, he hoped making the comment about this sleeping pattern would help to ease him a little, but it could always backfire but he didn't really mind both would suit him just fine.

He was relived when she confirmed that it was about their mutations, and rather excited, he loved to mess around with his and find interesting ways to do things with it. Even if it does tire him out after a while.
When they reached Serena's room it occurred to him that he hadn't seen her room before, he wasn't to fussed about seeing it but it would no doubt look odd to anyone that happened to be walking down the corridor, although that was unlikely given the late hour.
When she opened the door he caught a glimpse of what he guessed was a rather messy room, before she blocked his view and disappeared inside. It was odd that she would have such a messy room he had always thought she would be one of the clean freak types, but then he couldn't be right about everyone. He certainly had little idea what she was going to do with that bottle of red stuff, and even less idea why she would have it in the first place.
"So shall we go?" He said raising an eyebrow to the bottle, vaguely remembering her mutation having something to do with floating red stuff....

This was starting to sound both creepy and exciting, he started to run through ideas of what they could be going to do. Especially if she needed to stop by her room before they set out to wherever they where going. More so trying to figure out what she meant by gifts, the obvious meaning that came to him was there mutations which from what he gathered worked rather similarly, even if he found his allot more entertaining. But she could mean any number of things like his athletic ability which he will admit was not brilliant.
As they walked he decided it would be best just to flat out ask her. "So when you say gifts, I assume that you are talking about our mutations, and not anything else that's slightly more....obscure." He said with a light tone to his voice.
Even if she doesn't explain what they where going to do it was more a way to make the walking not get awkward or silent. And as an added bonus he could satisfy some of his curiosity.

So far the day had been good to Leon, after waking up at a reasonable time he had managed to get some breakfast and relax for a bit. Which in his mind was a wonderful morning as he had yet to meet someone that would pester him with petty problems and test his patience.
*BZZZZZ*
He fished out his phone with a slightly confused thought, he wasn't entirely sure who would be messaging him at this time, but more importantly he was conflicted if he could be bothered to check and see who would be asking for help. As inevitably most messages break down into some form of favor or task. After a moment of deliberation he decided to look at the message, which simply asked where he was.
After a moment of thought he decided to reply, after all James is an alright guy and he would only need something if it was important, even if it was just to hangout it would be alright. Quickly typing out the message "I'm in the living room relaxing some others are around, why whats up?" He hit send and rest his phone on his leg awaiting a reply.

Leon smiled as she explained why she was here, feeling slightly thankful that it wasn't some form of forgotten promise. "Its no problem, I was awake anyway and looking for something to do." He said keeping his voice to a minimum to avoid waking his roommate.
Realizing he would need to leave the room he quickly made a mental checklist of everything he would need to go out.
clothes check, money check and finally cigarettes....nope.
Reaching across the door to his jacket he pulled out a half empty pack and his lighter before pocketing them and slipping out the door. Closing it as quietly as he could, even if it did wake somebody up then he wouldn't mind after all there not babies and leaving your room isn't a crime.
"So what sort of thing did you have in mind?" He asked raising his voice back to a more normal level, curious about what she did have planned that could be done at midnight.

Leon rolled over and stared at the clock, 12AM give or take a few minutes he wasn't entirely sure in this light. His usual routine of trying to sleep and failing had reached the latter stage. After a little time of staring he decided to get up and do something. Putting on his trousers and waistcoat, deeming it to hot to bother with a shirt after all he was still British, he set off towards his rooms door.
*Knock Knock*
He pulled open the door slowly to avoid waking up his roommate and looked out to see the face of Serena looking back at him. He was slightly taken aback that she was roaming around this late, and even more so that she was standing here at his door. "Oh hi Serena, what brings you here?" He asked trying to remember if he made any promises that he would have forgotten about.
