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.

Emily smirked a little. She'd heard this argument before. It was like when you heard someone say that they weren't into bacon. There was always some kind of a group uproar going on when that was said, as if a person couldn't have different preferences when it came to food. Emily loved seafood, but there were a large number of cretins who didn't go near it, and she'd probably let them know that they were wrong it that case.
She smiled against her date, gently nuzzling her face into the gap in the girl's jumper so that she contacted with some pale skin, enjoying the closeness and warmth that radiated out from the other girl. Oh, she'd not thought about 20 questions in the longest time.
Emily nodded and smiled. It really did sound like a good idea. She started to think of some good questions to ask Kendra, to get to know her a little better. Some of them were more personal than others, some of them were light hearted. And she tried to think up some good answers to obvious questions that Kendra might ask her too.
As it turned out, she'd not thought of or prepped an answer for the first question that the other girl asked. She didn't think about her own fears that much. Beyond frustration, she didn't spend that much time reflecting on her own emotions, she spent most of them in the world of others. She shrugged after a few moments and leaned in to kiss Kendra, this was much more gentle than before, a little peck. She grinned and fired back her own question.

the staff in the restaurant were fairly friendly, if tired, she liked the vibe in here. It probably wouldn't be the best tasting pizza she'd ever had, but the experience would certainly be a good one regardless. On the plus side, There were some people drinking in here and they didn't seem to be checking ID's very much. Of course she had a fake ID on her, but best not to mention that little detail to Kendra yet.
Actually on second thought... She'd not drink. She didn't have a headache and it was best not to make a habit of it outside of that. Emily shook her head with a little bit of a smirk. "Pineapples are gross." She admitted. Why would you put something with tang on pizza? Pizza should have meat, a good selection of vegetables, or an absurd amount of cheese.
She ordered a diet coke to go with her meal and then chose an Italian styled pizza, with a few different meats and some olives. She loved olives. They brought over a little thing of olives as a starter at Emily's behest, she speared some of them on cocktail sticks and chowed down on them.
It was nice and private actually, so while they were in the corner she held her date's hand and smile, nuzzling against her shoulder a little.

The cab ride was fairly uneventful, other than occasional shifts in the colouration of Emily's cheeks depending on what Kendra said or felt. She picked up on the cabbies apprehension at last, and assumed it was because he'd picked them up at the mansion. Not too many were overly fond of picking up people from there. Luckily the state of the city wasn't too volatile at the moment, mutants weren't being chased with pitchforks.
"I find that hard to believe, you're lovely." She murmured, loud enough for Kendra to hear but not the cabby, her cheeks still very pink.
She chuckled. "I somehow doubt it, but it's worth a shot." She'd heard many tales of places with the tag 'best of' with a specific food attached in New York City. Best burgers, best pizza, best pasta, best Lasagne. The list went on. Often they were just fairly decent places, but were obviously over-exaggerated in their level of quality.
She held the other girl's hand gently, rubbing her thumb along the other girls hand softly, humming gently as they walked up to the pizza place.

So this was a date. Yay, more butterflies. She was fairly silent as they made their way to the taxi, Emily simply walked with the other girl, holding hands in relative quiet. She had quite a large smile plastered across her lips. She'd never thought of dates as this thing that just happened spontaneously. They were something to be planned and thought out, and likely to only occur after having known somebody for ages. This worked for her though.
Emily barely even noticed the cabbie's mood truth be told, she was so focused on Kendra. Even though she wasn't really looking at her any more than normal or anything, she was paying very very close attention to the feeling radiating out from the southern girl.
She blushed super hard once more at the question. "Uhm... I mean... If you want to get technical...." There wasn't really any technicalities about it, she'd just never been on a date before period. She'd also not kissed anyone before Kendra. She left that out though.
She let out a little purr at the fingers lacing through hers and leaned her body against Kendra's, her head gently resting on the other girl's shoulder.

Emily grinned at the other girl as she approached. She felt her move into her power's ranger before she actually saw her and felt a swooping feeling akin to butterflies moving through her stomach. It was quite nerve racking feeling like that over a new person. She waved at Kendra as she got near and smiled widely.
As their fingers laced together she felt another wave of nerves and awkwardness sweep over her. She flushed in rather red and murmured a reply. "Yup." She felt a little burst of electricity dancing through her limbs at the contact.
She took in a deep breath as they made their way out of the mansion. "So um.... I don't have a huge amount of experience with this kind of thing, but this technically counts as you asking me on a date, right?" She murmured, doing her best to hide her blush from the southern belle.
Emily dashed off to her room, expecting the excitement to ebb a little as she approached her room and left Kendra outside of her power's range. But it kinda didn't... If anything it actually got more intense. She was pretty nervous. More nervous than she'd been in quite a long time. She moved into her room and dropped her Pajamas unceremoniously on the floor in a pile before digging out some clothes.
She pulled one some ripped-style jeans, and a very very outdated "Took an arrow to the knee" Top, before grabbing a cardigan and a slightly fancier long navy coat which she pulled on and buttoned up neatly on top of that. She didn't need a scarf or anything, it wasn't all that cold really. She pulled on some half knee boots that were standard black leather and then grabbed her phone, which wasn't totally charged but probably had just enough for the evening. Hopefully.
She quickly brushed and combed her hair a bit before slipping out of her bedroom. She was back outside shortly, in more like 10 than 15 minutes, and then stood around waiting for Kendra, rocking slightly on her heels basking her nerves, feeling all kinds of silly fleeting emotions and thinking about the kisses they'd shared. Thinking on it now, she definitely felt affection towards the other girl while she as away from her, but it wasn't anywhere near as intense as it had been.
So she felt real affection more powerfully when she was near someone it was mutual with. That was actually kind of cool. She didn't mind all that much.

Emily smiled a little at the girl and moved forwards to actually interact with her, closing her notes and gently slipping them back into her bag. Okay, so maybe lying about being lost wasn't the smartest move. And she wasn't entirely sure where to go with that now. The girl wasn't embarrassed or anything, and was now asking her for help. Emily hadn't intended on disappointing anyone when she'd gone wandering the maze dammit.
She blushed a little at the request. "Okay... So maybe I am a little lost... I just didn't want to look like a ditz." She replied a little bashfully.

Emily smiled at the other girl, she was really liking the emotional vibe the girl gave off, she was pretty relaxed, and also friendly, but with a healthy amount of curiosity. That was an interesting mix for a girl around her age at the mansion. So many of them were just fickle and obsessed with appearance. "It varies for me I think, Drama can be good but the acting has to look pretty genuine. On the other hand I love silly cheesy action, Sci Fi and horror movies." She admitted.
Emily leaned her head back and relaxed a lot in her presence. "Romance and comedies can be good, but romance has to be pretty genuine for me to like it very much." She tilted her head. "Do you read books very much?"

Emily felt a large jolt of excitement go through her at Kendra's suggestion. She had indeed gone out into the city on more sleepless nights, she had a fake ID for just this purpose, where she'd generally hit the bars and clubs that weren't too showy or fussed about checking ID, especially when the people in question were cute girls... Go figure, mild sexism.
She felt another little jolt go up her arms when Kendra grasped her hands, she shivered a little and looked into the girl's eyes again. What the hell? Why was the proximity with Kendra effecting her this profoundly.
Puzzling it out, nearest she could figure was she'd never been near many people other than her dad who had profound affection for her. That might explain why she enjoyed visiting him so much... Well, that and she loved him and he was awesome. That too.
"T-that sounds like fun." She smiled when the other girl suggested getting changed. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea." Her crimson cheeks were fading a little bit now.
She leaned in and kissed the girl one more time before giggling and hugging her. "This is going to be fun, I'll meet you back here in 15?" She asked before dashing off to her room to get changed into something a bit more fun.

God, it was weird being held by somebody. Emily actually quite liked it. Her power was weird with, the closer a person was the 'louder' their emotions seemed to her, and when she was this close to Kendra (Or kissing her, as it turned out) she'd only really pick up on Kendra's emotions, which meant that she wasn't picking up on anything else nearby. And as she was discovering not only did she like Kendra's emotions, but a single person was far less headache inducing.
She looked up into the southern red head's eyes, and felt a fairly powerful urge to kiss her again, but batted it down. Dammit, Emily hadn't ever felt attraction to other people. It was freaking intense. Maybe it was worse for her because when it was mutual she could sense all of those emotions, and it spurred her own attraction on even further.
She responded to the peck with a follow up kiss, that was a little deeper but not as intense as before and found herself blushing from head to toe. It took her a few moments, and attempts to gather her voice. The first few times it came out as a little croak. "Um... You can tell me what you're thinking, I'm not a telepath and I'm picking up mostly affection from you." She muttered, her cheeks feeling very very hot.

Emily had kind of been enjoying the movie. Okay so it wasn't a great horror movie, but at the same time she was more than a little irked that they'd been thrown out. She wished that Bailey could reign it in a little bit. Still, the way that the woman in front of them had reacted was just annoying, she had some serious nerve. But Emily didn't actually fancy dealing with the staff being aggro with them.
Once they'd led out, she noticed she was still holding Bailey's hand and let go. Shrugging. She supplied. "You still have the ticket, you could run back in and grab it. If it's that important to you."

Emily hadn't really picked up all that much from the younger looking girl other than the fact that she startled her, which she didn't really feel as bad for as she probably should have. A little confusion and curiosity mixed in there, which was good because it meant that she probably wasn't making overt assumptions about Emily, which some people might have. She tried to keep herself a little neutral towards the new girl, and bat down the inherent passive aggressive reaction that came up.
Was she lost?... Well, kind of. Maybe. Prob-Yes. Yes she was lost. How old was this girl anyway? She couldn't be that old... early teens at the most. She saw a flash of... Pointier teeth than she was expecting. Okay, Emily had met a few monster's at the school and this girl didn't seem to be too aggressive or anything like that. Something up with her feet too. Huh. Emily wondered for a few moments before realising she'd not responded.
"Oh-um... No, not really." She lied. "I was just looking for a quiet spot."

Emily hadn't really thought things could get more intense than they had a minute ago, but... She was very very wrong. Okay, so she'd not really been too attracted to people before, and she'd admit she'd found Kendra's personality and emotions more than a little attractive. She was just so genuine and intense, it was really weird for Emily to actually feel like that towards another person, she typically didn't think those things.
And here she was, kissing a pretty girl outside the mansion late at night. Emily just melted against Kendra in a kind of happy willingness, her hand gently twisting and playing with locks of the southern girl's smooth hair.
She shuddered a little against the other girl, a motion that had entirely nothing to do with the cold outside. And just basked in the emotions radiating from Kendra. The felt so soothing. She didn't often think that about another person. On the brightside too, she couldn't pick up any other emotions from anywhere nearby, she was entirely focused on Kendra and everything else was being shunted out without an exception.
After a few more little playful sounds Emily took in the question and gently leaned her head forwards, burying it gently in Kendra's shoulder, the warmth and softness of her and her emotions washing over Emily. "I..." It took her a few moments to gather her thoughts. "Both I think? I like you... I think." She wasn't sure it was a little confusing. "But your emotions are so intense and warm, I like being near them~"

So that kiss kind of broke Emily's internal wiring as it were. She wasn't expecting it, she hadn't been sure how to deal with it, and she'd reciprocated it. And it had felt good. Like, really really nice. She was a bit confused, and a little excited, and her heart was racing and her brain wasn't working and ughhhh. She'd just sit there for a few moments while Kendra laughed at her a little and checked she was okay.
She knew she was being laughed at, but she was just too focused on Kendra's emotions to notice much of anything else right now. Kendra was really pleased, and not really at all embarassed like Emily currently was. What was that feeling on her face? Oh. She was blushing really, really hard. Her cheeks hurt a little bit. She probably looked like a complete and utter dork under the circumstances, she looked up at met Kendra's eyes again.
She wasn't really looking at Kendra on a physical level as feeling her emotions. Being that close to someone and sharing such intense emotions with them was quite a unique experience, that was for sure. Emily hadn't ever felt anything quite like it.
She gently trailed her slightly cold fingers up Kendra's sides, her nails trailing, followed by a lean in with another kiss, she was inexperienced, but she made up for it with her raw emotion.

Leo was a little... Okay, there wasn't really a word for it other than weird. Which might be mean, condescending or rude to think about him especially after such little time interacting with him, but he was definitely quite the odd duckling. Most guys Emily met were definitely another way than him. She actually regretted the way she'd initially treated him now, he was unique and kind of interesting to boot.
She snorted a little. "Take your time, we've got a little time to get this project done, and it's not like first to hand in gets anything extra." She chimed helpfully. She was definitely a little more cheerful than before.
She nodded at his comment. "My grammar is fairly competent." She confirmed. Following this she glanced around and felt more people entering the library. Oh dear. "On second thought, lets try and only do this for another half hour, or move somewhere else, before the library gets too crowded."
"Sure." She began to read out some helpful summaries of the theory.
