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.

Ok, there where no people in the radio afterall. Cailyn scrapped that idea from her mental notes. Now back to the mister who seemingly is the car. Cailyn rubbed her eyes to get rid of the sleepyness. The car was still a person afterwards so it wasn't a dream. She touched the dashboards and softly let her finger slide over it. It didn't feel like a person at all. "Aha." She said. "The car was sleepy and not me." she continued as she scratched her head. "Stealing is bad." She replied to the car again.
As the car was awake so where the voices feeding her info about the person who was a car.... person. She pondered the thought about him for a while as the voices told her nothing but silly things about the size of his rims and the weight of the car. She wanted to do a test and she started the tickle the underside of the seat hoping she would get a reaction as she pulled a sweet smile.
Cailyn was looking around with sleepy thoughts in her mind. Suddenly the thoughts where gona and the car started moving. This freaked Cailyn and a bit and she clinged to herself. The car shoot and did stuff normal cars did not do... do they? She looked around freaked out to see if anybody else looked at the car doing weird things but seemingly nobody was around, or noticed what was happening.
Suddenly it stopped and the radio went on. It seemed to finetune itself and as the lights of the radio turned on, Cailyn looked at it amazed. It started to speak and that gave Cailyn hope. It ment that in her logic there really where people in radio's or atleast something that make them talk. She got all close to the radio and said: "I am not inside the radio mister radio mister." She was actually talking the radiomister. This made her dreams come trough and she was finally not nuts on the account of her radio theory.
Cailyn was prancing down the streets looking for adventure. She strolled down the streets over time square and into streets she never knew existed. She didn't know much about New york and everyday was a adventure. She went passed a restaurant that seemed to have lots of people in it. She gazed inside through the window and looked at the people. They all looked interresting but nothing much.
She suddenly picked up something sleepy behind her. She turned around and saw a car. She walked to it and gazed at it. It was weird that she had sleepy thoughts when she looked at it. She thought that maybe she needed to get inside the car just like a commercial. She stepped inside and felt the soft seats. She could sleep here for sure.
As Cailyn came outside it was a sight to see. A mob of people not getting through some kind of aura that was emited from a girl. The aura had spikes and weapons coming from them. Cailyn touched the aura but she could not pass through. It did not matter since Cailyn wasn't really Cailyn now. She was in possesion of her powers and rendered helpless to them.
She looked at the mobs and she extended her hand. It was twitching and twisted. "Taste my fear." She softly and slowly whispered to the mob of people including the police that just pulled up. People suddenly looked at each other and started yelling and screaming as if there worst nightmare was standing right next to them. Cailyn closed her eyes and started breathing heavy. This extend of her power really took it out of her and she could not keep it up very long. Hopefully for the people who weren't affected this was the time to run.
People stormed in the store to see if they could vandilized or to look for other mutants. It didn't matter seeing as Cailyn was in the store and they where going to find her one way or the other. She was still snivling in the corner worried about the people. One of the people that stormed into the shop found her and took hold of her by the shoulders. He shook her and shouted: "Are you one of !." Cailyn was still scared and cried and she said: "leave me alone, please don't hurt me." The person who shook her took that as a yes and stood up and shouted: "Got another one right here." Other people quickly followed him and now 5 of them stood infront of cailyn. She was amazed and scared and they looked at them with big eyes.
The people started to ponder what to do and Cailyn picked up some of their thoughts. They weren't any good to begin with. One of them spoke up: "Look at her we have done enough i'm getting out of here." And he ran away. Cailyn looked at the remaining 4 and hoped they followed her example. They didn't and one of them pulled out a knife. "let's do this for the cause." He said and he wanted to stab Cailyn. She shouted at the top of her lungs as a soft tune doomed through the shop and the surrounding area. It was a soft hymn and the person who wanted to stab her stopped out of curiousity what was going on. Suddenly the man dropped his knife and started screaming. "It burns , HELP!." And he ran out the store through the mobs of people. The other 3 soon followed his example as they saw the same as their friend. Cailyn stood up and rubbed the tears out of her eyes. She slowly levitated as her Hymn grew stronger and deeper. She moved to the front door where seemingly other people where located keeping the mobs out of the store,
Cailyn sat there thinking things through until suddenly people started throwing rocks. Windows went down, people get hurt and gotten angry but Cailyn only got scared. She sat there in her corner screaming out of scaredom with her hands protecting her head. She was scared mostly because of all the hatefull thoughts running through her head. Nobody their had a peacefull thought lingering anywhere and it made her insane.... well more insane if that is possible. This was a very stressfull situation on her little mind and she could not take it. All she could do was what she normally did in any of these situations: Try to hide and try not to get hurt. Mostly in the asylum she failed at it seeing as the guards mostly just hit her for no reason at all. But now that she was out of there it was worth a shot seeing as she had more playing field
She started to cry and shouted: "Leave me alone." She thought all the people hated her and technicly they did since she was a mutant. "I don't wanna get hurt." She shouted some more. People went to the streets in a attempt to fight it out. She just remained there in her corner being scared as rocks flew trough the air and people where fighting. She could not take any type of violence, a specially violence against mutants. She wanted to do something but she was to scared and she sniffed in her corner doing everything to protect herself from the people fighting outside.
It was one of those day the Cailyn had beter stayed indoors. She explored new york city again and found lots of screaming people that gathered. She was curious why they where all screaming and yelling. Was it dinner time in the asylum was one of the thoughts that pondered through her head. As she came closer it wasn't dinner at the asylum for sure. All cailyn picked up was hatefull thoughts and angry ones. It made her scared and gave her head aches. She had to get out of there. She hid her head in her jacket and she moved inside the first door she could find.
She seemed to have stumbled upon a bookstore or atleast something with books. Cailyn didn't grasp the full meaning of stores yet and she didn't know much about money either but she could stay here for a while and hide from the angry mob. She slowly slipted through the bookcases not know what was in store for her. It was another adventure for her seeing as all the bookcases where like a maze to her. as she moved through the bookcases all she picked up was nice calm thoughts. If she needed to relax her mind this was the place to be. One person though seemed to dislike something particular. She didn't need to pick that up with her mind at all seeing as she muttered it. She poked her head around the corner of a bookcase to see a girl standing there. She looked at her but picked up nothing. the voices where silent about her. She raised a brow and softly said to herself: "Am i broken." She looked around the other corner to see another person browsing through the bookcases. Whispers started slipping through her mind again about the person. "Guess not." She softly said to herself again and she looked at the girl again. Nothing as if there would be a tumbleweed passing by. She returned to the other persons and her powers worked again. She repeated this process a couple of time and it freaked her out a bit. She turned with her back to the edge of the bookcase and let herself slide down so she could sit down and ponder what was going on.
Surges of her power where felt through the room as the pressure increased under the effect of both their powers trying to break each other. Her soft hymn could be heard around the room as a soft dooming tune that was creeping up to her father. She started to float a inch above the ground as she clenched her hands into fists. She had enough this was it, the end of their struggle and better yet, the end of hers.
The battle now didn’t take place in the physical world anymore. It moved into the much more intense and dangerous world of their minds. Their minds linked up into a battle of the unknown forces. Both trying to force each other to submit to their own powers and destroy them from within. Hymn’s voices took over for her, making her stronger then ever and with double voices she started to speak to her father during their battle of the minds. “I will not be pushed around.” She growled. “I will be free of you , of your lies, of you devious ways and free from everyone else.” She continued. “I will be free once again!”
Her father tried to retaliate under her power. He was still as strong as she was even though the virus strengthened her. The where fighting as equals now. “You are mine.” He replied. “You were always mine, and you will stay that way till I die.” He continued. Cailyn’s voices controlled her body for a bit and made her smirk. In totally different voice she said: “So be it, old fool.”
Now all restrains where lose. She got the confirmation that her father was willing to fight till the end and that made it so much more easier for her. Her hymn went from soft to dooming and loud. Her father’s pupils widened by the effect of her powers. He would know what it was really like to be scared, to be scared to death maybe. She started subduing him into the mental world where he did not have power. Where he was just another man. Her father tried to tried to hold on to his own thoughts and started to shout at Cailyn. “You do not have that power, it isn’t real.” He shouted but his mind started to slip. He began give in to Cailyn and he slowly lowered towards the ground.
Cailyn smiled at the sight of her father falling to her power. The voices went beserk in her mind all saying the same things. “Maim him, hurt him, break him, take revenge, KILL HIM!.” The voices said. Cailyn moved closer with a evil laugh on her face and reached for his throat. The voices continued the screams and added a few more variations to it while Cailyn stopped halfway with reaching. It snapped to her mind that she was not a killer. Her voices reacted and softly spoke to her again as if they where whispering in her ears. “Give in to it, you want it, he deserves it.” They said. “Give in to us, you want it.” They continued. She came to realize that the voices where actually saying the things that her father wanted her to do all this time. It where the voices that came from her father’s powers and they where connected somehow.
Cailyn did not give in and snapped out of it. She landed on the ground and said: ”No, not like this” And she placed her left hand on the forehead of her father and the other hand on his heart. On that moment the full force of her powers where released and so where to powers of her father. Their powers merged under their force and this was the time they finally shared a moment. This was the moment that Cailyn forced her powers upon her father and make him see what he had done. Make him see his mistakes and make him regret them. Their powers flowed through each other and Cailyn found a way to make his worse nightmare reality for him. She used her abilities to absorb his and shut his power of. With a deep breath and screams from her victim it ended. Her fathers mind was empty for a moment as he fell to the ground.
This was the end of the road. Cailyn turned around and her father regained his consciousness. As she reached for the door he spoke. “What have you done to me.” He muttered. Cailyn turned around and softly spoke to him. “I took your powers, you will never hurt anyone with them again.” She said. Her father was in shock as he found out what happened. Cailyn opened the doors and left, never hearing the voices of her father’s will again.
“There’s the pool, the game room and anything under the sun on the mansion grounds, and that’s just on campus.”
“Usually do this before but my name’s Sam.”
"Ow." She said with a suprise. She forgot to introduce herself, how rude. She extended her hand and shook his while she said: "Cailyn, nice to meet you." She smiled. "Don't expect me to remember names. i'm very bad at it."
She listened to him summing things up. they al sounded fun but cailyn never did most of those things. "Pool sounds fun but i can't swim." She said a bit blushing. She never went to the pool in her life so she never learned how to swim. It was sad if you think about it. Though seemingly there was plenty to do in this place but seeing as she could not swim and they had a pool it sounded fun to try.
Food always sounded good in any langauge you said it to whatever person you said it, even the mentaly deranged. her tummy grumbled softly and hymn softly said : "Shh " to it. She was hungry now that there was talk of food so she decided to go with the cat person. "Ok, my tummy wants some." She said to the catperson and she smiled. She didn't know what she would get herself into but food was a cause that was worth the risk.... wasn't it ?
If only it worked that way. Surely she picked up things but she couldn't open up people's minds and read them like a book or something. "Pff." She said. "More stuff going on in my head is bad for me, i just pick up some stuff here and there." She continued.
“So when did you arrive at the mansion, how do you like it so far?”
She was just here a couple of day but she didn't have the time to do anything fun. It was just settling in and checking out the important stuff like the haywire sickbay. "Couple of days ago." She answered simply. "I cant say that i mind being here, didn't have much time to do actual fun things here but we will see how i like it." She continued and smiled. She smiled allot when she was talking mostly because it improved the chance of people liking her.
The girl mentioned all kinds of places to meet people and make friends. This sounded very interresting and exciting for her. She put her bowl on the nearby table and got up. She stretched a bit and look at the girl. "Thank you i will do that right now." She smilled at the girl and skipped out of the room in search of new friends and adventures to fill her head with. Or atleast to keep the voices out. Before she left the room she quickly said :"Bye bye." to the girl too before she forgot to say bye.
"That is correct." she replied with a gracefull nod. This person didn't seem to know much about the staff if he didn't know where the new teachers where located. Click and save for backlog.
“Posters!”
She rolled her eyes with a smile. It was almost as if he could read minds, which ofcourse he couldn't or else Cailyn would have a fit by now. He must have some powers to do with cold if that popped into her mind.
“Maybe a fish tank or a turtle.” Sam smiled and pointed to a corner of the room, “Right there, after that I think this should look like a authentic classroom.”
She pondered the thought of a fish tank. Where they even allowed to have a large fishtank in the biology classroom. Let alone would there be fish people that would be offended was the next (in)logical thought that popped in her head. She didn't know if the school had fish people. "I'm not a big fan of fish." She replied hoping that it would not offend people.
‘Still got it’ thought Sam. “If cold you mean that? Then yes, I am very, very cold.” “how did you know? You talk to some one around here?”
She let out a soft short laugh. Her powers didn't fail her this time. "Talking is so last century." She said a bit playfull. It was true, now a days everybody did textmessaging or email or something so nobody ever had to talk to anyone anymore though she did took that a bit differently. "Ow and i don't think you still have it." She said with a playfull smirk letting out a hint of her abilities. She could mes with him if he kept his mind open like that. Al she had to do was look at him and he would feed her thoughts and things all the time any time. This was more of a fun excersise then anything she had done just yet in this place.
