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.

Man, it became really hard to find nice quiet spots in the city sometimes. Emily had a long week, she was busy, Skye was busy. Everywhere she went around her university people were stressing out about assignments she’d already finished drafts for and was waiting on feedback for. She was so done being around stressed out people for the week.
She was looking forwards to getting back to the mansion at the end of the night, and the possibility of just crawling into bed with her girlfriend and hiding from life for a bit. Alas, that was a few hours off. And she didn’t really feel like going into the mansion until then, so instead she made a pit stop at a favourite bar of hers. Why look for somewhere quiet when she had somewhere already?
And so Emily flashed her expensive false ID to get inside, and was eager for the day when she wouldn’t need it anymore, which wasn’t all that far off. If she was in the UK it would be no problem. Silly US laws.
She found herself a quiet booth to sit in and ordered a glass of white wine, quickly settling down in the corner of the booth and humming, dragging out her sketch pad and closing her eyes for a few moments, just basking in the relative quiet in the room.

Some days, okay most days, Emily wondered if she was cut out to be a counselor. She just went into it because she figured it made sense really, with the power and all she figured a one on one vocation would be good.
But spending time with a kid she could tolerate, and actually feeling like she was helping him was doing wonders for her self confidence. She smiled at him again and carried on leading the way to the kitchen, occasionally pointing to an area here and there. "As you can see there are plenty of places to hang out. Quiet common rooms, busy common rooms, the grounds, a pool." She didn't know why she brought up the pool, it was freezing outside.
Chuckling heartily Emily led William into the kitchen and glanced around. It was relatively empty. Which was easy this time of day, this time of year. It was a huge space. She moved over to one of the fridges and began pulling out ingredients. Emily couldn't cook to save her life, but she could make a sandwich.

Emily snorted. "Probably a good thing, your bitchiness makes up more than half of your likeable personality traits." She teased, she was of course joking. She actually loved who Alice was as a person, it was nice to have a friend she didn't need to disguise anything with. Their relationship was... Well it was pretty honest.
"I know you wouldn't." She muttered. It wasn't even like her and Skye had slept together. Well. They slept next to one another, but physical intimacy itself wasn't something that had been on the table yet, they'd barely even made out. That was mostly on Emily. That must have been why she react so strongly. Yup, that was it.
"One of the things about being Demi is it makes it a bit harder to do that. At least, because I'm an Empath. I'm not into people generally, and then knowing when they're into me makes it much easier to let them down easy." She admitted.
Although if she was being totally honest, Alice's chances hadn't been zero. That was, if Emily hadn't already met Skye. She definitely had the right personality to crack through Emily's hard shell.
Emily was glancing around the whole area with a little wonder after they arrived, being led by Alice's arm. She grinned sheepishly at the man in drag at the front door. She supposed he pulled it off well? She wasn't naturally opposed to anything like cross dressing, she did have a soft spot for Rocky horror. "Hi there."

Emily was definitely not used to this much innuendo where Skye was concerned. Idly she reached up and touched the now sensitive little area Skye had been attacking, and shivered again when she did before shifting slightly and nestling against Skye with a soft smile. She had plenty of practice snuggling Skye in bed at this point, it was her happy place.
Eyes were narrowed as soon as Skye started speaking again, suspecting mischief was coming, or another pun Emily braced herself. It was mischief. She blushed. Again. For like the millionth time tonight.
It was funny, she'd thought she was getting the hang of being around Skye, and then the dynamic changed. Emily was definitely used to being the more active and strong willed of the two. This whole new thing though... Yeah. Skye was definitely the one in charge.
"I think I'm okay with that." She spoke back, doing her utmost to stay straight faced and not melt into a muddle underneath Skye. The nuzzling was nice too.

Emily was very glad that Skye had enjoyed their passionate.. Whatever that was. In the moment she'd kind of gotten lost in sensation and hadn't been paying as much attention to Skye's emotions as she normally did. But that was okay, they had both clearly enjoyed themselves. Oh man, had Emily enjoyed herself.
Emily glanced sheepishly into Skye's eyes, a nervous but playful smile on her lips. She was definitely still feeling the lust. So was Emily. But she didn't want things to go onto a point that she'd regret, and ruin the evening. So instead she just gave Skye a knowing smile. Skye wasn't dumb, of course she knew she couldn't hide her feelings from Emily.
"I like this too. Uhm. I don't think we've done much cuddling yet." She admitted with a blush. She was pretty sure whatever had happened since Skye got here couldn't strictly be classified as cuddling.
"I'm glad, there is something strangely reassuring about having you ontop of me." She paused, something stuck in her throat again. "I didn't even mean for that to come out like it did." Emily was not one for innuendos whatsoever.

After Skye finished what she was doing and pulled back, Emily was shaking and breathing heavily. And not necessarily because she was scared. She shuddered again when Skye kissed the same spot and after a few moments pulled her arm out of her vision and blinked as the colours of Skye's power danced in her now sensitive vision. It took her a few moments to gather her thoughts into something cohesive again.
"That was..." She trailed off as Skye lay back down on top of her, calming down a little and blushing now that she was actually stopping to think about what just happened, the now sensitive spot on her neck tingling, she knew there would be a mark when she went to look later. God, she was behaving like an awkward hormonal teenager.
Skye's toying with her hair and snuggling her further calmed her down, allowing her to breath slowly and relax. Man. Her room was stuffy. Skye's skin felt so... heated. Did hers also? She thought it probably did. A small part of Emily's brain wanted to go further, peel off her own clothes and see where things led.
A much bigger, louder part of her brain reeled at the thought. No way. She was so not ready for that. She stroked Skye's back much more gently, without any real pressure. No nails or anything, just soft fingers running down her spine in an affectionate manor. "W-would you like to do anything?"
She flushed again as she realised that was vague and the state they were in. "I mean like a movie or game or something. Or sleep. I-" She gulped. "I don't really want to go out. I would like to stay here with you, like we are now." She didn't think she needed to elaborate that the last part was referring to wardrobes.

"You are the opposite of exhausting. I feel like I can finally get some rest whenever I'm with you." She murmured. "Well, normally. Right now I feel like I've just downed several energy drinks." Her whole body was kind of on fire. But she could still appreciate and adore the little tender side of Skye. She always knew it was there, it was one of the many things that drew Emily to her.
Emily felt the emotions shifting around Skye slowly and bit her lip hard. She didn't dare open it again for fear of saying something awkward again. Yup. She'd just keep quiet and the awkwardness would blow over.
Well. She thought she was going to, until Skye leaned down on her and fulfilled the request Emily had kind of made. Her mouth didn't stay shut for that, a noise definitely escaped it. She didn't protest though, she just wriggled a little underneath Skye, her fingers running through the sheets again before running along Skye's back. She was glad that she'd managed to get used to Skye's current wardrobe. There was something weirdly reassuring about feeling her girlfriend's skin.
She was so totally not going to call Skye a bad-ass. Nope. That would be concdeeding victory in their on going teasing war.

Emily could tell that Skye was being considerate, and more calculated with her own administration of affection. She was definitely a lot more in control of herself than Emily was. But then again, Emily wasn't used to this, Skye definitely had much more practice than her in this arena.
"That's because you're warm and soft and beautiful and make me comfortable and sleepy." She rambled a little incoherently. It was true though, she often found herself falling asleep on Skye when she'd not been around her much, it was the effect of being able to ignore other people's emotions and just focus on her girlfriend. She was comfortable with them, used to them.
Emily bit her lip a little while she listened to Skye replying. Unsure of what to say while she watched. A little shiver ran down her spine before Skye's lips got anywhere near her, between the smile and the emotions she put two and two together, unconsciously leaning her head to one side. Before she could even consider her response "Yes." Came out of her mouth.
A little squeak of surprise escaped her. Had she really just said that? Her arm raised up and covered most of her face in raw embarrassment.
Still not revealing her face. "You're mainly cute." She whispered through an exhale. "You're also sexy." Another wave of embarrassment and anxiety hit her. Why did her own feelings cause her problems? This was so awkward.

Emily visibly gulped when Skye sat up and posed, asking the teasing question. "Uh huh." She totally lied. Skye was still definitely cute, and adorable and sweet. But there were also other adjectives that Emily was attaching to her, mostly in her head now. She'd been doing them for a while, they'd just gotten much louder in her brain since they'd started this interaction.
Emily's lips stretched into a slightly more playful grin as Skye shivered. She'd already admitted that she was not cold. Emily filed these reactions away somewhere in her brain, saving them for a later date where she might have felt more confident.
Also exhaling deeply Emily ran her fingers across Skye's head also shivering slightly as her girlfriend relentlessly kissed and teased her. The kisses and nibbles were driving her slightly crazy.
"You could do that, you kind of do that anyway." She teased. It was probably more Emily that was clinging to Skye in bed, but she didn't hear or feel Skye complaining about it, so it was hardly an issue.
Emily closed her eyes. "You're going to leave a mark." She opened them and glanced at Skye sheepishly. "Are you trying to?" she ran her hands down Skye's back, her desires tempered by her anxiety and insecurities.
"You're definitely hot something." She muttered right back.

Most of the time when Emily was with Skye, the latter's hair was pink, and Emily picked up all the affection and the love on and just below the surface, but she also picked up the mixture of joy and happiness which occasionally bubbled up to the surface, and that made her smile. It wasn't just love Skye felt, she was genuinely happy around Emily. Which she hoped was a sign it was a healthy relationship.
Rolling her eyes and glancing at the ceiling Emily sighed dramatically. "Okay, if you must. But only because you're cute." And then she went back to failing at not being into her girlfriend.
She hadn't been expecting the kisses and nibbles at all. They definitely set her off a little. She wriggled a little and ran her nails along Skye's stomach and back. "Are you sure?" She didn't want Skye getting sick, Emily usually didn't keep her room hot enough for... Well for nudity and underwear.

Emily was so relieved that the mood had started to shift. She still had underlying nerves charging the situation, but Skye definitely felt like she wasn't upset anymore. That was what mattered, she hated it when Skye went blue. She felt like she was failing as a girlfriend when that happened.
Noting the little shudder that went through Skye as she touched her bare leg, Emily's fingers trailed a little along them, feeling Skye's thigh and noting again that Skye was definitely a lot fitter than she'd expected. Even though Emily wasn't ready for the next step, she hoped that it was clear to Skye that she found her attractive, that on some level she wanted her.
Her other hand gently grasped Skye's waist, just holding her very gently. "Hey. Bad. No puns." She was smiling, and resisting oogling her girlfriend. Okay, she was failing, she was definitely looking at Skye's figure, lots.
Sue her, she wasn't used to dealing with attraction.
"That's thoughtful of you." She murmured absentmindedly, blushing when Skye leaned in to kiss her again. It started out tentative from both of them. Again, she was nervous about the whole thing still. After a few moments of lingering on the kiss Emily leaned closer and playfully tugged Skye back into lying down with her, taking a break in smooching to ask a question. "Are you warm enough? I can grab a blanket or turn up the thermostat."

Being called an anchor might not have been what most woman would consider romantic, but Emily was not most women, and neither was Skye. It made her giggle. It was maybe the first time she'd made such a light hearted sound since they'd been together tonight.
Emily blushed again. "Maybe we can work up to night gowns, and then beyond that then." She replied sheepishly. Slow and steady exposure, like weening yourself off of putting too much sugar in your tea, that could work, right?
The three piece suit comment was so sweet, and made her smile so much. But Emily was well aware she was the more messed up of the two. And she'd get over it. For herself as much as for Skye, she wanted Skye to be comfortable, and if what most comfortable Skye looked like was being nude in bed... Well. Emily would get there. Eventually. Skye was worth it. Skye was worth anything.
Emily watched Skye, feeling very anxious but... Excited? She supposed she was still feeling very eager around Skye. She had such nice legs. Emily reevaluated her cuteness image of Skye a little. Sexy and powerful were also applicable.
As Skye sat back down cross legged Emily very slowly reached out until she was touching her bare leg and chuckled nervously. "Just bare with me. Okay?" She asked again, she knew Skye was being cool with it. But she still felt bad.

Her tummy fluttered again. She still got butterflies speaking to Skye, even after dating for several weeks. "I live my life in various states of discomfort, being around you makes everything better." She admitted. The pink, the emotions behind the colour made her so happy. She was pretty sure Skye was in love with her, and that made everything in life better.
She wasn't... She wasn't sure where she was on that spectrum yet, or what she was ready to admit out loud. Skye it seemed wasn't, but that was okay. The feelings were there, that was what mattered.
They were wearing equally dark blushes. "Thanks." She didn't feel particularly sexy in basically pajamas. But she guessed Skye was in less than half an outfit, so maybe it was mutual. Skye's body was also much nicer.
"Oh." Emily felt dumb. Very dumb.
"A-and you've been changing into more clothes, this whole time. So I'd be comfortable?" She looked into Skye's eyes for a few moments again before leaning in and kissing her hard, deeply again. She couldn't help herself.
"Lets compromise. I don't think I can deal with nudity right now. But feel free to do underwear, I'll adjust, just be patient with me, okay?" She whispered just after the kiss broke.

The compliments always made Emily feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, Skye was so sincere with her. And the fact that she knew her girlfriend was sincere with her made everything more sweet.
Emily let Skye kiss her again, tilting her head gently and closing her eyes. "It's very comforting." It definitely made her feel more at ease, especially when they'd started getting hot and heavy with Skye not having a top. It dawned on her just then, that Skye still wasn't wearing the top. And she was okay with it. She'd survived. Baby steps.
Emily gave little shivers and smiled more at Skye as her hair and back were played with, she closed her eyes again, content.
"I uhm." She stopped to consider it. Skye was honest, she should be honest. Even if it was scary, and made her super nervous. "I'm getting used to it. You're extremely attractive." She made herself look at Skye's mostly bare upper body and smiled timidly once again.
"How do you normally sleep? I want you to be as comfortable as possible with me." She admitted. Even if it meant some initial discomfort on her front, she could get used to changes.

She trusted her? Thankfully Emily did believe her. Which did make everything a little better. She was glad, not just because of the current situation, but she didn't think she'd mentioned Alice being into her, because that could cause some awkwardness. But Emily was only interested in Skye. Skye was special, in so many ways.
"I'm not perfect." She contested flatly.
Emily let Skye lead her back to a sitting position and blushed again as she got a good look at Skye's torso. Emily hadn't thought of somebody as sexy for a long long time. But damn...
She shivered and felt a little lifting of sadness when they kissed again. "I like it when you play with my hair." She admitted sheepishly before adding more timidly. "Making out I can handle. As long as we don't go further than that. For now." Giving an answer to the earlier question, blushing pretty hard still.
