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.

Leon had been out of bed for roughly 2 hours now, not that he had ever really gone to bed. He had started to try and sleep but it had not payed off and just made him uncomfortable and annoyed, so he had quietly gotten dressed and sneaked out of his room. Taking care not to wake up his roommate when he left, once out of his room he had wandered around for a bit until settling in the living room.
He checked the clock just to be sure that he had the right time, not that he had anywhere to be but he did like to keep a rough track of time. Sure enough the clock read 2 AM roughly the time Leon had guessed it was. He had repeated this process of not sleeping for a few nights now but this was the first time he had left the room. He had mainly done it out of pure boredom but partly because he was really thirsty.
Normally he would just sit back in the room and try to think his way through the night, or do something quietly to pass the time. Like organize his tiny amount of possessions, or check that non of his cigarette stashes had been found. He currently had some behind his pillow, under his mattress and various other places around the room. But tonight was different tonight he had been bored of staying in the room counting cigarettes and organizing shirts.
On his way around the mansion he had been past the kitchen and from their he had found that which was amazing and beautiful. He had found tea. So he had found a teapot and brought it with him into the living room where he was now enjoying a nice cup of tea alone to his thoughts.

He thought that he had better do something with his time to make the metaphorical hole in his heart feel less painful, so he got up out of his corner and decided to wash his face hoping to get some of the sleep out of his eyes and make sure that he wouldn't fall asleep during the day.
Once he had crept past his roommates and reached the bathroom he locked the door, and looked in the mirror. What he saw was not what he remembered, he looked rough It was obvious that he needed a shave as he was developing a 5 o clock shadow beard, and he was starting to get dark circles around his eyes. If he was to pass someone that looked like he did then he would most likely pass them off as a homeless person, the only thing that saved him from looking like that was his clothes.
This will not do, look at yourself man what would mother think? He thought instinctively and immediately regretted it, after all he had started to do this to take his mind off of his parents but he couldn't he just couldn't. He felt his eyes starting to well up and get tearful which was unlike him as the last time he had cried must have been 10 years or more. But here he was sitting on a bathroom floor tears slowly running down his face, he tried to bring up happy memories but each time he tried he was greeted with the same faceless people in the place of people he once knew. his mother, father, even his best friend all of them had abandoned him once they learnt he was a mutant.
All of these people that he once knew that now hated him, at this moment he would have given anything to be able to remember their faces and voices. It wasn't that he hadn't seen them in long but for some reason he couldn't bring up any of their features, he thought that it must be the grief that he was feeling for his lost family playing with his mind, each memory making the situation worse.

As he got dressed he looked at the clock it was 5:00 AM according to the clock. this slightly shocked Leon as is felt like he had been thinking for only a short amount of time, but it had been hours. By his guess the sun would be coming up soon, he severely hoped the sun would come up as then he could start his day properly.
Once he was fully dressed he retrieved his cigarettes and lighter from his pillow and returned to his corner to continue thinking, as he returned to sitting down he let his head rest against the wall behind him, feeling glad that something other than him was supporting his head, once fully sat down and comfortable his mind started to wander back to the questions and issues that plagued his mind.
He decided to prioritize his issues with his parents being at the head of the list, as he started to try and visualize his parents he couldn't, it wasn't as though he wasn't trying it was just that he couldn't seem to access the memories of his parents properly. The more that he tried the more he got frustrated and angry, not angry at anyone in particular just at himself, for forgetting what they looked like in the first place. Each time he tried to pull up their faces he was greeted by a mental image of two people with blank shifting faces. Even the clothes they wore changed at each image, sometimes they would be in classic party clothes and sometimes they would be in simple work out clothes.
After roughly 5 tries at pulling up his parents faces and clothes he felt a sadness spread through him. It started from the pit of his stomach and spread through him with each attempt. at the final attempt it felt had spread through all of him and made him feel like he was carrying rocks on his back. It was a new feeling one that he had never felt before, as it was just sadness there was no hope in this feeling, before he had always clung onto the memories of his parents but now he was forced to let go of them or be consumed by them. The only problem was Leon wasn't sure that he could let go of those memories.

As Leon ate his food his mind started to wander slightly, he started to think about the city as a whole and how he should get back to the mansion from here, slowly plotting a route in his head that he was 50% sure would work possibility 60% sure.
He was only half aware of the door opening and paid little attention to the whispers in the diner after all why should they involve him? well sure enough they did as a small flash of brown made way towards one of his fry's! Leon watched in amazement and surprise as a small brown mouse started to attack one of his fry's. It looked a little two small to be a rat so he assumed that it was a mouse and hoped that it was a mouse as he had no intention of dealing with rats.
As the mouse ate he looked at the rest of his food, it wasn't that the food was nasty as it was delicious it was just that he was used to less filling food and way smaller portions. having only eaten half of the burger and a few fry's and he was nearly at his limit.
Picking up a few more of the fry's he put them down for the mouse to munch on after all he didn't need them so why not let the mouse have them? "There you go little guy, I don't need them anyway." He said to the mouse as he put down the food in front of it. Looking up he saw a girl who had...whiskers? at least that is what it looked like to him. From the looks of it she was a mutant and he would bet that this mouse belonged to her, with a small wave of his hand he motioned to her to come and sit with him.

Leon had been wandering the streets of New York for a few hours now, at first it had seemed like a daunting task to try and find his way back to the mansion on his own but after a while he started to get the layout of the city a bit more. fortunately while he was wandering he had found a place to change the remaining £50 he had from England into dollars. and had been pleasantly surprised when he received around $70.
After passing what seemed to be the same corner for what must have been the 100th time now Leon thought that he had best get some lunch, after all you cannot be expected to work at your best on an empty stomach. Of course wanting to eat and eating where two different things, so he set off in search of a place to get some food.
After wandering for a while he noticed that he seemed to be moving a bit slower than usual probably down to the fact that he hasn't been sleeping well since his arrival in america. With this he thought that he should probably find something to eat and fast before he walked into someone or the middle of the road. As he looked up he noticed a small decently quiet diner that seemed to be empty enough. Minus one or two people sitting around.
Once inside he got a simple Burger and fry's before slinking down in the corner to eat his food in peace, hoping that he would not slip off to sleep whilst he ate.

As he stood their slowly working his way through his cigarette he felt a slight calm spread through him, washing away most of his worry's and fears until he was left with just the impending problem of his family and personal life. which was the two problems he had hoped this cigarette would have calmed, The problems that had been wiped away temporarily by the nicotine only helped to amplify the more pressing issues on his mind. The way his old family had cast him out when they learned he was a mutant and the fact that he was in a new city with no idea what to do with his life.
As the cigarette started to burn down a fair amount and the ashes where near falling point Leon moved away from the bed. Best not start a fire, that would really land me in it. He thought wearily as he slowly wandered towards his clothes that where on the floor, right where he had left them. After a small struggle to get his trousers on without making to much noise he proceeded to go and sit in the corner of the room, hoping to use the time to clear his head and get some of his issues sorted out.
As he sat there in the dark he was force by his brain to think on what he was going to do next, these where not unwelcome thoughts just one's he did not like to have especially when he was already slightly frantic about his future. These where thoughts that had always seemed so unnecessary to Leon who had always had his life run its course around him right from when he could walk to when he was learning in Eton. However being a mutant had thrown all of that off course suddenly he was the enemy of humanity in some peoples eyes, and to some extent his own eyes. He had seen how the muggers and attackers had judged them been scared because a mutant was in-front of them.
He felt a heat at his lips, looking down he could see the glowing end of the cigarette right at his lips. well that didn't last long he thought disappointed, after all he couldn't keep going through them like this as he had no way to legally get more and he would like to not break the law if he could avoid it. However this made another problem fortunately he was confident he could solve this one easily and quickly.
Holding the remaining butt of the cigarette in his hand Leon willed the ash in the room to rise, feeling the welcome warmth spread across his body. Once he was alight he closed his hand over the butt in his hand feeling it be burnt down to more ashes before adding it to the swirling cloud around him. He hoped the cloud around him would hide the light of the flames from his roommate but he wanted to finish it fast just to be sure, so he quickly drew all of the ash down into his lungs. Just to be sure that no one who didn't already know he smoked found out.
as he did this he couldn't help but get a feeling in the back of his mind that told him. This is what I do isn't it i burn things down then play with the remains. He couldn't be sure if it was lack of sleep talking or if it was the ache of the memories but somehow if felt familiar.

He let his head rest back against the sweat soaked pillow, undecided if he should attempt to return to sleep. If he went back to sleep he couldn't trust himself not to return to that nightmare, however he had nothing to stay awake for even if he couldn't trust sleep.
After a short period of time thinking, he thought that he should stay awake even if it would make him more snappy and annoyed the next day. Checking the clock he saw that it was roughly 3 AM, at least he had gotten some sleep. I guess I'm staying up all night then. He thought with slight scorn, he really wasn't a morning person at the best of times but he would really feel sorry for whoever ticked him off tomorrow.
Deciding that he had better do something instead of just staying in bed he slowly pulled off the covers and stood up. Taking care not to wake up his room mate, after all if he had to live with him it would be better to not annoy him to much. As he stood there in the dark his mind drew back to the dream he just had, the house he had been in was his old home he was sure of it. And the voice was his mothers at least as close to his mothers as he could remember years of not living with your parents or not having much contact had taken its toll on him. the more he tried to cling to the memories of them the more frequently these sort of things happened.
He could feel himself shaking as he tried to bring the old memories back, with a quiet sigh he reached under his pillow to pull out a pack of cigarettes, one of the packs that he had hidden around the room. He had thought that hiding them would be the better option after all he is a guest in at the mansion and he was still underage in the eyes of american law. Taking one out of the pack he reached into his pillow case to retrieve his lighter, he normally would keep that on him but at nights it was safer in his pillow. after lighting the cigarette and taking a few deep breaths from it he put back the lighter and pack in there respective places.

No please not again. Thought Leon as his dreams started to change, the world spinning around him before stopping in a familiar hallway. Once the spinning had stopped he felt his feet start to move on their own, it was a surreal feeling as Leon was fully aware of what he was doing just was powerless to stop his own body.
Please wake up..PLEASE! was all that was running through his head as the nightmare that had not plagued him for almost 7 years continued to run its course. He was fully aware that he had reached the end of the hallway and was reaching to open the large wooden door. Now the door opens....wait what?. He thought weirdly as the door failed to open, This was all wrong in the past the door had opened but this, this was new and slightly worrying.
Suddenly Leon was very scared, in the past his nightmares had opened the door and played from there, but this time the door was blocked and that meant a new nightmare. And given his current state he wasn't ready for a fresh set of nightmares. He felt his body violently turn as a woman called his name, at least he thought it was a woman.
"Mommy is that you? Mommy I'm scared." He heard himself say, both shocked and terrified that it was the voice of a 10 year old kid coming out of his mouth, even more shocking was the realization that the room wasn't growing...He was shrinking. Growing younger with each second that passed.
A blur passed in front of his vision making his heart miss a beat in the process, suddenly Leon felt scared, very scared, This was definitely a new nightmare and not one he was pleased to be in. Again the blur passed before him looking slightly more solid in shape, This only manged to amplify the fear creeping through his heart, holding it in a vice with cold iron claws.
only then did he became aware of the fact that his dream body was running, running like it had never ran before, Given the circumstances this was very reasonable but non the less it was terrifying. Come on kid run..RUN! He thought frantically hoping just hoping that he would make it through.
Then he tripped....
Leon's eyes snapped open and a small sigh escaped his lips. A small tear running down from the corner of his eye to join the film of sweat that covered his body. With a quick glance he checked that he was still in the mansion, still safe.

An adapted? Leon had never heard of that and quite frankly didn't like the sound of that one bit. In his mind without his abilities he would feel vulnerable and slightly scared. But as ever he was slightly curious as to what would happen if his mutation was nullified, he did have some idea as to what would happen and it wasn't a pretty thought.
He noticed that the woman that called herself Gemma, or maybe miss Taylor would be more suited for this situation, did not take his or James hand. So he pocketed his hand to avoid an awkward moment, he didn't blame her for it and didn't take it as rude. After all if she could nullify powers by being around people, not shaking their hand would seem more polite.
"Oh yeah Serena's been a massive help tonight, helped save me from some muggers and led me here." He said with a small smile on his face, thinking on it he wouldn't be here at all if it wasn't for her so he really did owe her allot.
The fact that they would have to take note of James and his mutations did make him a bit apprehensive after all what happened if he wanted to leave? Then they would be left with a list of his abilities that maybe he wouldn't want them to have.

The inside of the building was as impressive as the outside, as impressive as it was it still made Leon feel slightly home sick, well home wasn't the right word for it. It more reminded him of his dorm building at Eton than his actual home. He was instantly drawn away from admiring when a woman started to talk to them.
After she had finished her introduction it felt right to Leon to do the same. "Hi i'm Leon the one from the buzzer. And I must say pretty nice place you have here." He said with a smile. But as ever there was a second thought behind the primary. A guidance counselor so I guess not ever one here is...stable. He thought to himself, it was understandable that some people did not take mutants well or being one well. Especially if the mutation was visible and limiting. But Leon did not think that he would need to see her much, he knew what he was going to do and the path he would take. And he didn't mind his mutation.
"Oh sorry where are my manners." He said shaking his head slightly, then he started to move forward holding out his hand to indicate a hand shake.

Hey firstly I love fantasy and things like this and it sounds like a lot of fun. Secondly would there be a influence of the "rabbit" in wonderland that could end the dream from that side, like if some characters personality are opposed to killing people they know then they could seek out the rabbits influence. This could also give some goal to a faction. E.g the Order could try to end the dream with violence, whilst X-men could try to find the vorpal blade and stop the jabberwocky or something. Just an idea
