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.

The fact that she had bad dreams surprised him, she seemed so calm and happy all of the time so he assumed that she would have happy dreams. But apparently he was mistaken about that.
After she had finished speaking he seemed to realize that maybe he should get some sleep as well, as he could feel his body telling him to sleep with little signals here and there, which until now he had been ignoring but maybe it was time to give into the urges to lay down and sleep. "Yeah I think I'm going to have to head off to sleep too, and I think meeting up would be great it would take some of the boredom out of the nights." He said with a smile, standing up and stretching his arms and legs he winced at how stiff they had become.
"Well see ya around then." He said before departing off back to his room.

Leon knew his part in this mission, and whilst stealth was something he had not dabbled in before he was fairly confident that he could pull it off. Normal clothing would not suffice for this sort of job as it was too flashy and bright, so he had decided to use some of his acquired money to get some more clothes that he felt would be more suited to this. So there he was in the allocated spot wearing his new black outfit which is basically identical to his normal outfit just...black.
Soon the time came for him to start his part, using his mutation he was delighted to find a rather large amount of ash scattered around the grass, most likely left from underage smokers who could not be bothered to try and find a bin. But soon enough he had a key floating on a black cloud next to him. Deciding that touching the key was not the best idea, even through leather gloves. Opening the door took seconds as the key slotted perfectly into the keyhole with the ash turning it in the lock, once the door was opened by a crack he quickly shot the cloud inside and into the security guards mouth. Making the cloud condense in his mouth he split it both ways, sending half upwards and half down breaking the mans jaw silently.
Once finished with the man Leon stepped into the building, bringing all of the ash and key into his pockets in a stream, after all going around with small flames running around your body will give away your position pretty fast, he surveyed the hallway to see where he was supposed to go, which he quickly spotted and set off down the hallway towards, He met a few people along the way but non of them where going in the direction of the body and non of them saw him hiding in the shadows.
Pathetic this is far to easy. He thought as he reached a doorway that it seemed like the screams and cries where coming from.

"Yeah I'm normally around and about till the early hours of the morning, some days I stay in to try and sleep but it always fails." He said with a little smile, as if he could get back to sleep he would be back in his bed and not out here drinking tea and chatting. Not that he disliked Serena's company its just more that he really needed sleep.
"So what about you, are you normally roaming around this late?" It was a simple enough question and one that didn't require allot of thought, which he was thankful for as he could start to feel the lack of sleep mess with his head. Heavy eyelids and other small annoyances. As annoying as they where he was not going to let them get on his nerves, he was far to tired for that.

The description of the job sounded very appealing, and fun. After he had been given the description of the M users powers he begun to think up ways to deal with him, several ideas came up at once with various levels of cruelty and efficiency. "Now that sounds like a worthwhile use of time, and as for pay I don't really have need for money so I would do it for the laughs not the cash. Also any idea if the transformations skin deep? Cos if its not I could force my ash down his throat, after that stage imagine a blender..." He said with a smile.
The idea of the job made him both nervous and really happy. On one hand he was nervous as it was illegal and dangerous, but then again he was really bored and tired of normal people taking advantage of mutants and hating on them.
Another thought popped into his head, it was more an idea than a solid thought, but it was brought on by the fact that this had been called a job. I could be a merc... He thought oddly, it seemed to fit with what he thought he was good at, and he would be getting paid to use his power and have a blast. Best of all he wouldn't need to complete any more school or classes. Finding the jobs could be annoying but if he could find the right people then it was a possibility.
"So anyway I'm in with the job. You do this sorta thing often? Fighting for mutants and killing some human asses, cos I get really bored taking out easy gangs all day." He said with a laugh, almost unable to contain his excitement.

Leon was walking down a rather peculiar looking path, he could still remember with ease where the castle was and had a faint idea where he was going, as though he had lived here his whole life and he had just woken up from a dream. The castle had turned out to be a worthwhile visit and the staff inside seemed inclined to act very flustered and attend to his needs, not that he minded. It was odd though as the more time he spent walking the less off it all seemed, he even thought he could hear a voice in his head helping him fit in, giving him some sort o purpose in this place.
He could see the statue of his queen a little way away, he was much more accustomed to his new clothing by now, and was not annoyed by his cloak one bit, it simply trailed nicely behind him. Even the scepter that should have been annoying to hold he was easily twirling in his hand, treating it like an old friend. Although he was unarmed he didn't fear that his attire would attract robbers or any other unsavory people, as upon leaving the castle gates a few odd looking soldiers had attached themselves to him. Following him around on his stroll, he had tried speaking to them but they just nodded or gave very quick answers. Pretty useless for some conversation.
I must remember to bring up the conversation skills of the card soldiers in the next meeting.
Hmm? Where did that come from, I don't remember any meetings, and whats a card soldier? oh silly me I remember now....right? He though unsure of himself again but not letting it show, little things like that had been happening all to often since his arrival in this place, random thoughts that make no sense would pop into his head. Then suddenly he would remember what they mean, it was all rather confusing but somehow right.
Rounding a bend on the path, he noticed an oddly shaped figure walking in the opposite direction to him.

"Well if they think they can stop us then they are clearly idiots." He said plainly seeing nothing but that fact in the matter. It seemed really odd to him that a cop would see a mutant making trouble and try to stop them, even when it spells certain death for that cop.
"Um stealth, well I'm in alright condition and can move fairly quietly. It does help to have a large black cloud under my control, especially if its nighttime as black cloud and dark places make for a nice hiding spot." He said when she inquired about his stealth levels. He had never really given much thought to stealth and being sneaky before, mainly as it had never really appealed to him as something he would find fun to do. But he guessed that he would be alright at it.
"Quick question, If someone saw me, if this person was killed and stuff before he could tell anyone does it still count as stealth. If so yes I would be good at that." He was half joking and half being serious, as if films and other forms of media where anything to go on then the definition of stealth was something that could be debated. But the general rule was do not alert them to your presence, and with his trail of thought if the little fish didn't tell the big fish he would remain hidden.
"Why you got something in mind?" He asked curiously.

"Well if the weathers good enough to swim you may as well." He said warmly, it was a fairly obvious statement to say but one that he felt should be said, for some reason. The weather was definitely a pro of living in america and one that he was happy for most of the time, even if it was annoying every once in a while like when he was trying to sleep.
"I haven't really been around the mansion allot, Like I've been to the rooms and some of the insides but not out and about in the grounds." He said after a moments thought, it even surprised him that he hadn't been around and seen some of the places the mansion had to offer, but he wasn't to fussed as he was having enough fun in the city.
"To be honest I'm not fussed about it, I can find the fun I look for in the city and it helps to get out and about." He said with a smile, thinking it would be easier to just flat out say that he isn't that fussed about the place.

She was standing down, at least that was what he thought until she pulled her little stunt. Catching him off guard she managed to let off one of her bombs right in his face, giving him only split seconds to react to her foot smashing into his stomach. Which hurt quite a bit and his face stung like mad, and he was pretty sure he bit his tongue when hit. As he could definitely taste a small amount of blood in his mouth. All in all he was pissed.
Seeing that she had landed and put up an arm to defend herself, he had to admit that she was putting up a good fight and pretty fearless. That or stupid. Spinning his whole body he brought the glowing whip through a large arch, leaving a small trail as it went. Meaning to bring it down on her arm, if it did connect though she would be in for a surprise as he was ready to make it wrap and curl around her arm if it made contact. Like a chain around a pole.

The night air was fresh and cooling on his skin, with a refreshing effect that left him much more awake and alert. The night had started with him trying to sleep but eventually failing and going for a walk. He was used to the city at night now and was fairly confident in his ability to not get lost.
The walk had begun just like any other would, with him being careful not to wake his roommate and sneaking out to stroll the city. The night air was helpful in keeping him awake, even if he would not be as aware as he normally would. Because of this he opted to stick to the main streets and not take any chances, he had no intention to try and win a fight whist half asleep and did not fancy getting beat up or arrested.
A flash of white down an alley drew his attention, it was peculiar and weird not the sort of thing that you would really feel comfortable walking towards. But he prided himself in his ability to bite off more than he can chew, as to say so he set off down the alley after the white thing. The chase led him down several streets and across parts of the city he had never been to, part of him was amazed he could keep up as he was following small white flashes and never seeing the full thing.
Finally he manged to corner the damn thing, that's when he got his first proper look at the creature. It was a rabbit, a very special and well dressed rabbit at that. I must be dreaming He thought confused and unsure at what he was really seeing, after all rabbits don't just put on clothing and run around the city. Deciding to test his theory on dreaming he promptly slapped himself twice in the face, and it stung allot he was sure if he was dreaming the rabbit would be gone now.
And it was. Until he turned around where he saw the rabbit looking directly at him from the entrance to the alley. After calling the rabbit a few colorful names he set off again to chase down the damned beast, through a few more alleys and streets, turn after turn he ran. Until the floor disappeared. Then he fell.
He fell down the dark hole, seeing the little circle of lighter darkness above grow smaller, until nothing was left but black, horrible dark thick blackness.
He was suddenly stood in what seemed to be a garden to...a castle? He didn't even know New York had castles, and he had certainly never seen a garden so nice and odd as this one. Nothing in the garden seemed to make sense, the hedges where different sizes and some sculpted. The flowers mix and matched with an absence of anything white.
His eyes suddenly where drawn to what he was wearing, what was he wearing? he couldn't remember changing clothes or even owning anything so...expensive. Quickly running to a window he was greeted by the full extent of the change, where a simple shirt and trousers one was a outfit fit for royalty. His trousers and shirt had been replaced with red and white counter parts, a patterned waistcoat was laid over that with a jacket that was half red, half white. To top it all of he had a cloak or cape he wasn't sure that was made of fur and blazed with a red heart.
Oh lord his hair, where it once was brown it was now golden and apparently slightly longer but thankfully in the same sort of style. But his eyes where drawn to what was laid on top of his head, a ring of gold embedded with jewels and shaped to perfection, for the life of him he couldn't figure out why he had a crown on or held a golden scepter with a red heart on its tip. The weird part was he knew these clothes should be heavy yet they felt right. Even if he was a little shaken up as to how he got them.
Seeing a door that led into the castle he got an idea, if this was a dream then it sure was a weird one and he would definitely never forget it, "Well I look like a king so this must be my castle..." He said to himself, unsure about the whole thing but set off towards the doors non the less.

"Hey, yeah kinda have to take the blame for that hole, and that one, that one too. The explosion upstairs, the broken windows the hole in the side of the building and finally the fire that trashed the place." He said to the new girl. Pointing to each thing as he listed them off. "Well I duno if blame is the right word, like I started it but then couldn't stop so its not really my fault just a very big accident. And accident that may or may not have been intentional." He said wondering if it really was his fault.
"Anyway I'm rambling, the important thing is that we leave before the place falls on us, which it may or may not." it suddenly was very obvious to him that he didn't have a shirt on, and with a quick glance confirmed that he was not burnt from his little run in with his cloud, just left very shirtless. He didn't mind not having a shirt just that he was aware that he didn't have a very muscular build, and as such would look slightly weird walking back without a shirt.
"So I'm Leon and I normally do not make a habit of destroying places." He said deciding to make that clear and save her the trouble of asking it in the future. This whole situation was giving him a headache and making him stressed out, firstly he had lost control and nearly killed himself and now people where here to judge his mistakes. Even if Johnny seemed to like what he did with the place, but he wasn't about to trust his views on things as he seemed a bit odd and weird.
He pulled his cigarettes and lighter out from his pocket, then proceeded to take one out and light it. "And what do you mean knocking out the fires? I can't put them out all I can do is mess with what they make, unless your on about the walls which if anything would have made it worse." He said to Johnny, with the cigarette in his mouth so the words came out a bit weird but fairly audible.

Well this just got interesting.
"Yeah about that, it's really not very smart to use that phrase. Because like how does one stand down, as standing is standing up where you rise, but down is obviously going down towards the floor. So all in all a very poor choice of words." He said to the comment coming from behind him, He thought maybe he shouldn't be pulling this sort of stuff when she could kill him. But then he remembered hes out to have some fun and not toying with her would defeat the purpose of having fun.
I really should get that gun away from my back. He thought as he had no incentive to get shot. It really would put a downer on his day and make for some very awkward explaining, especially if she went with him to make sure that he told the truth.
"Ok Ok Ok. How about we put down the gun and talk this over, because I really couldn't think as to why you would want to kill lil old me." He said very calmly. deciding that it would be much better if he could actually see the gun he slowly started to turn around and face his assailant.

OK this was fun. He had definitely gotten better at the whole fighting thing and over the course of a few tries really honed some of his powers, both in uses and utility. And today was no different even if he had decided to go and shoot one of the bigger fish in the ocean.
For today's fun he had come to a place he knew gangs and other people hung out in, and wandered into what he could only assume was a important place for this particular set of people. Because all he did was blast open the makeshift gate and they got all protective and started yelling at him. "Calm down all I want is to have some fun...which may involve you gaining some serious injury or other health problems." He said very calmly to the people in front of him, from where he could see he was in a back alley parking lot with roughly ten unarmed guys in various places. "By the looks on your faces and lack of objections, I'm going to say you're OK with that." He continued when he saw the looks of shock on their faces.
He couldn't help but think how easy this would be as he noted that they had lit three fires in large dumpsters around the place, each with around 3 or 4 people around each. Deciding that if he gave them more time they would attack and make them selves look stupid, and also if he waited much more he would just collapse from the anticipation. So without further notice he made the ash collected in the three fires rise and grab a man each, pulling them back into the flames.
For his next trick he pulled all the ash back out, minus the men but he noted that there was a smell that reminded him of cooked meat. He couldn't help but laugh as he made it into a rough imitation of a tornado, he knew it wouldn't reach speeds near that of a real tornado, but it was working just fine. The small amount of a vortex that it made did serve to give the smoldering ashes some fuel for a fire. And the power of his new creation was shown when some idiot tried to knife it, he was quickly taken care of by the spinning cloud.
"See isn't this great?" He said gleefully as another was pulled into his creation. It was slightly boring to him however as they never posed a threat or anything close to it, as shown by there attempts to run. Which thanks to four quick small red hot clouds from his toy, four got taken down pretty fast. Which by his count left one guy for him to play with.
The last guy however did not last long either, as with a simple flick of his wrist Leon sent the large cloud throttling towards him and engulfed the man. Which men't that his fun was over, which wasn't to bad as he had managed to kill a little time and let of some steam. "Pathetic why can't I ever find something that could even remotely be challenging." He said to himself with a sigh, more thinking out loud than consciously saying it.

"Yeah, like I haven't gone to the mall or anything but some of the places I've found are kinda fun. Things like old buildings and some of the nicer parts of the city." He hoped that this little bit more information would throw her off of the topic, but he could never be sure and it always ran the risk of sparking more interest.
He could really feel the tea waking him up now, making him more aware and happy, taking some of the edge off of the sleepy feelings. Although the chair was still pretty comfortable and he was a while off getting up and leaving it. That and he was sort of enjoying the conversation that as going on, even if some of the topics where a bit touch and go.
"So if you don't have fun what do you spend all of your time doing?" He asked curiously.

Well that depended allot on what her definition of fun was, and he was sure that it would not be the same as his. "Um well I'm not really sure like I normally just wander." He said after a moments thought, he had opted against going and telling her what he thought was fun, as he thought that would make her leave and slightly disgusted at him.
"So anyway what about you? What do you do when you want to have fun in the city?" He asked after another sip of his tea, he could feel the caffeine in the tea doing its job and waking him up slightly, he was now at the point where he could comfortably sit up and stay up.
He propped himself up in the chair and sat slightly more straight having felt like he could, being careful not to spill his tea in the process as he was not fond of hot tea on his legs.
). So all in all....I'm back
