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.

"You think you can make me hit one of my own with out wanting to?" a wry grin came to Jupiter's face, He just might be able to but he sure as hell wasn't going to let the fact show. He could wrestle him to the ground if needed. "Why don't you just convince me you deserve it. what could you have possibly done?"
Aurion was sweet to his own kind, he hated humans, just like any sane mutant did, but beyond that he was a gentle giant. He highly doubted he deserved what Jupiter could dish out. Still Jupiter tensed for the potential skirmish. fist to claw, tail to tail, it would be the most fun he had in some time.
“You deserve it…” Jupiter shrugged his shoulders. Put one hand on his shoulder and let loose a solid hit to his chest, it wasn’t hard per se, but it would hurt. Without killing him. “Is that enough?” Jupiter looked him in the eyes. He wasn’t going to make him beg to be hurt. He trusted him enough to do so.
“Now then. What happened?” He was going to beat an answer out of him if he had to. What would possess someone to ask to be beaten by him, he didn’t know, but the kid had moxy and if he survived he hoped he would learn to better choose he choice of punishment.
“You realize that, me hitting hard isn’t like anyone else hitting hard right?” He was pretty sure he did, but with his posture he was almost wondering if the lizard man wanted to die. “Are You feeling suicidal?” He wasn’t being cocky; he had hit people hard before they ended up as a questionable mess up against a nearby wall or floor. The kid had body armor and he wasn’t a delicate flower by any means but he saw no reason he should blindly hurt him.”
He would have to do better than that. “Tell you what, you give me a reason worth hitting you over and I’ll do it.” Jupiter rolled his neck and shoulders limbering up for what might turn into a serious fight depending on Aurion’s survival instincts.
“Ohhh, your first time?” Venus did his best not to smirk too openly at the implication. “ It has happened before the order was working on something that would have sent the world into a mutant dominated direction, but the dreams gave away our intentions and the chance for surprise so the x’s came and wrecked the potential.” He shrugged not seeming too invested in the fact that the world wasn’t to be dominated or that the plans were wrecked.
“I saw you fight a time or two…or didn’t see you fight rather.I hadn’t realized it was you until just this moment. I was a treasure hunter. Still am I suppose.” His eyes traced the woman before him.
“I paid for the deluxe package so, whatever you want just tell them and they’ll give it to you . should we start with full body messages, I think we’ve earned them after that wretched nights sleep.”
Venus's hand went to Seyta's bangs and moved them out of her face to little or no avail.
Jupiter Streched and yawned rising from a room that had been taken over by teens doing karaoke...He raised an eyebrow at the obvious absence of post apocolyptica, damn the muffin man, wait no the muffin man was the body switcher. What had they called him after the last round of future dreams? the sand man. thats what he and his brothers decided after the fact that the weird visions while sleeping were, and had to be induced by a mutant, they went with the sand man because there weren't any cool dream related female names...Venus said Succubus, but he then conceded that not everyone had as good a time as he did in the future.
He hated the guy, he would kill him if they guy ever gave him the chance, but seeing as he had premonitions he doubted he would ever get the chance.He set up and rubbed his temples as some lilac teen with feathers belted out a rendition of another bites the dust in the only way that karaoke was meant for. terrible.
He levered him self up and out of the room wearily making his way out of the rec room. A group of teeneage girls waved at him, and he raised a hand reluctantlyin response. this couldn't be good.
"Hi, um, Im Tina." she said in a peppy voice that instantly made him want to find a bottle of liquor, she had so much nasal in her voice added onto a high pitch that made him want to put his head through the wall.
"Uh huh?" he replied.
"Well, I was just wanting to let you know, that big green tail and teeth guy was looking for you. he went to the infirmiry but he said tell any of you big red muscley tail guys that he was looking for you. Kay?"
"Yeah." Jupiter said with a stunned voice, she said a hundred words in what would typically take him the time to say three. she needed less caffine.
Jupiter made way into the hallway fairly quickly a trip to the infirmy had him concerned, whoever messed with Aurion would find a reckoning coming.
He quickly made way to the infirmary catching up before his fellow giant entered into the room, he looked nauseated but other than that, no worse for wear.
"Aurion a girl that sounded like that little yellow bird on loopy tunes told me you were looking for me?"
“ Indeed it has Syn, business comes after introductions and I believe there is some acquainting that needs to be had.” Earth nodded with a wan smile. “All seven brothers in one and none of the earth shattering strength.“ somehow he felt more dangerous than ever. Perhaps it was having his whole mind, being a single being of his stature with ability to shatter and turn into so much more, perhaps it was the potential. He was the oncoming storm.
He eyed Gregory for a moment. The four of them were a fairly formidable group if cohesive enough, they certainly had potential for getting the order on its feet and working smoothly. “You may call me Earth or Avello if you prefer either suit me fine.” Both were insults he designated himself while in this weakened state, reminders that he need not get comfortable in this silly pink form. Though he couldn’t help be tempted by the slight figure that put him in this state. But then, when didn’t he have a sumptuous appetite. He knew good and well what Roach might be thinking about him, how many nights had parts of him ragged on the pathetic state of humanity. He simply grinned a still pointy smile at roach, he still had his tail teeth and ears as markers of his genetic perfection. If nothing else he could get ten feet away from this lovely and deadly flower and do some reminding of who he was and could be. if he needed to. It shouldn’t and wouldn’t be necessary, he was and always would be a capable word smith.
Another glance at his sister said that he had better flirt off the clock or she was going to make a scene. “My apologies, perhaps later is a better time for getting to know one another personally. Onto business?” he asked in difference to Lenna.”
He bowed slightly and let Sarah do what she needed to make the world a slightly safer place. The problem was there was likely another skuzzy criminal behind Donovan ready to step into his role. They would have to dig deeper if they were really going to put an end to the terrible ring of kidnapping and trafficking. Pluto shook his head as the man was taken care of, permanently, he assumed.
He turned his back to the car and leaned, with no doubt in his mind that the fearsome woman on the opposite side of the car had the situation more than handled. He waited for his companion to come back around to the clean side of the car.
He was really going to have to work on cleaning up his act as far as killing went if he was going to convince the men he was worth his weight. Perhaps he could get a recommendation from Sarah, Jude and Svetlana...that might be enough.
A grin came to his face as looked down to the woman patting his arm. “Venus.” He corrected lightly and nodded to the rest. “Nothing quite like the end of civilization to make you want to come to a spa and enjoy the best of what the modern world has to offer. I simply love Spas, it isn’t often you get to wear not much more than a towel and a smile while you are out.” he smirked at the thought, at least it wasn’t often for most people he assumed.
“I ended up in Jorgetown? How about you?” Venus assumed that she experienced the last future dream, if she had experienced this one. Though to be fair it wasn’t as if it were an exact science.
Abyss, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter walked slowly almost hesitantly down the hall toward the war room, they typically loved the room, but there was a slight argument brewing among them. Could they work with an adapted? Could they work for an adapted?
Mars pointed out that, there were definite advantages to having an adapted on their side, think of the advantages it would present in a scuffle with the x-men. Plop in her in front of the frozen perv and watch her take him out. It would be delicious.
Jupiter pointed out in turn she could attempt the same with them.
Mercury wanted to know what her favorite candy was and would reserve his opinion on her for after the verdict.
Abyss thought that they should at the very least hear her out, she had been working with and for the order for some time, they could and should afford her the same respect they would give any other Order member.
Saturn didn't see how her being an adapted could possibly matter. to be fair little did in his book.
Venus thought they were all being a bunch of children and where the rest of them were walking slowly, He was the only one doing so with a smile on his face. The six large men managed to file into the room and hang at the edge of the room. "Hello Lenna, Syn, Roach. We received a message that we were meeting here, forgive us if we don't shake hands." Abyss said with a polite smile.
Venus grinned and crossed the room. "Forgive them."
An outrageous smile popped onto Mercury's face, Mars rolled his eyes and the other three cursed in unison.
The moment that Venus’s toe hit the Adapteds Aura He lost nine inches of height, at least two hundred pounds of mass, which still left him rather bulky and fit. His brothers Vanished, His skin matched that of his sister across the table a pale color that could have been likened to milk or the moon. You could almost see a family resemblance in the nose, eyes and complexion.
Earth reached to his suspenders and tightened them to hold up the now much looser pants, he unbuttoned his custom tailored shirt that was now like a tent around him and threw it over his arm and slid into a measly 2x button up that he brought just for this occasion. He buttoned up the silk dress shirt. His now black tail curled around him.
He winked at Syn, a half smile on his face.A nod to Roach, who to his credit didn't feel the wraith of the adapted nearly as much or as quickly as they did. He sat down in the chair closest to Lenna. “We needed a lesson in how this works, My brothers are bit concerned about this part of the business, but there is nothing quite like embracing ones fears.” Earth attempted to acquire Lenna’s hand for a light peck… How she reacted however, well that would be seen.
I'm on vacation 19-22, I'll try to get current where I can tonight. if I am holding anything up during my absence and you can drag me along, feel free to puppet me as much as needed to keep the thread moving.
I suppose its worth mentioning here as well that from now on I will unless doing overtime be here on tuesday thru Friday per my new shift.
Venus woke up the moment his skin felt silk, silk that smelled of a particularly lavish fragrance worn by a woman named Cocoa. His eyes cracked open to find the ceiling of his room lit, with electricity. It happened again, he woke up from a terrible future. And just like last time something very important was in order. A hot shower.
This time though the world had be destroyed, things were hard to come by, and luxuries were expensive. It was not a desirable world. He bathed in the hottest of water until steam rose from his flesh and ever imagined ache was free of it. He wasn’t an uncle of fifteen children; He sadly wasn’t domesticated with Juka. He was three years younger and the stress lines of a world that went nuclear were no longer on his face. He was going to treat himself. He was going to the Spa!
The shower wasn’t enough. He looked down at his bed and the long legged model laying there, smiled, chuckled and left. She wasn’t what he needed right that moment. He wrote a note to her, sorry he had to go, She could call when she woke or she could stay if she liked. He dressed quickly and quietly in his oversized closet, loving every moment of indecision he had of what to wear. He left the sanctuary with pep in his step and smirk on his face, upon reaching the lobby he leaned over claimed Lisa’s hand and laid a kiss upon it. “Is there anything I can get you while I am out Lisa? Moonbucks? The usual?” He asked to a stunned and almost perturbed Secretary, who didn’t get a chance to answer before he left, She would text him if she thought of anything.
He winked, smiled and flirted his way to the doors of the Spa. He opened the doors to the best spa in town, their top of the line package left you feeling like you were floating on a cloud.
‘Hello Caroline!” he spoke to the receptionist who squealed “Venus!” in answer. “Any chance I can get in today for the works?” His eyes shot down the list of other clientele for potential. His eyes then seized on Seyta’s Name. ‘She’ll have the works to, on me.” he carefully looked around the room not spotting her, but ignoring what his mind was telling him. “Seyta? Any chance you came here, just after waking up?”
He hinted at the whole dream thing, last time it took awhile to realize the dream was shared this time however, well it was his second time around the block.
“My dear pick up lines are fabrications, did it hurt? What? When you fell from heaven. and so forth.” His head ticked and tocked back and forth as he did the pickup line scenario.
“You are in fact, however, both absolutely stunning and have divine pools of cerulean where your eyes are supposed to be, and lastly, Popsicle sticks, I’m afraid only tell me terrible jokes these days.” He raised an eyebrow at her daring her to argue her case further.
“I could be helpful, but I’m only helpful to my friends, and I know all of my friends names.” The ball was in her court, She could try to find someone else who knew exactly where he was ten minutes ago, or she could tell him her name and be lead on a wild goose chase, it was her choice.”
A smile bloomed on his face that wouldn’t leave it for a long time. He then reeled it into a forced pout that wouldn’t be believe by anyone. “I’ll take it, though it would have been fun, its not like I wanted them to hurt, just to have somebody better in charge.” he sent a snarl in the general direction of Maxine, Isabel might have forgiven her seeing as the damage was undone, but the woman would receive a slap she’d likely never recover from if she found herself with in his arm’s length. “If she has a problem with it you tell her to come tell it to my face. And the sheriff can get his panties out of a wad because I bet he is off talking with Muse right this minute! Maybe we can work out some kind of treatise.”
Mercury grinned again forgetting that he was trying to pout. His eyes ran down to the dark marks along her waist and narrowed, they then popped right back up to her face, he started notice exactly how much of Isabel was showing. He didn’t notice stuff like that about her! Nope. Girls were for hanging out with, what the point to kissing them was, he did not want to know. “I’ll come knock on your door and invite you over? I can show you the playground I made for the kids.” Suffice to say, he played on the shaped girders he had salvaged from the wreckage of buildings over the years.”
His eyes flicked to the man who suffocated, he got off easy.
Mercury grinned to Jezebe as he hugged her and spun her in a brief circle. “ You’ll like the rest of the guys to, and I think you’ll love the Order to, you should join! Jupiter does this stuff all the time. I don’t typically throw people that hard.” He glanced skyward, not regretting his actions in the least. “ I couldn’t listen to it and stand aside though.”
A blue man with some rather bird like features peered out a third story window and nodded down at the pair waving half heartedly with feathered fingertips. Mercury would see if Otis would swing by and relieve the man of needing a hospital all together. He then wouldn’t be here if there were repercussions from people who knew these people. He memorized the address and name of the building. “Come on! We should go to the sanctuary and introduce you to everybody!” Mercury all but skipped away from the blood bath.
