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's face started to harden when Skye spoke, but it seemed like she was getting the idea, so Emily withheld any further comments for the time being. Shivering a little as Skye brushed the hair out of her face, her lips shifted slowly into a smile. "Why would I let my wonderful girlfriend be moody?" She murmured.
Promises were good, Skye was sincere. Even better. Emily sniffed a little, wiping the rest of her face with her sleeve before shifting so she was next to Skye, facing her with her head on one of the pillows. "Good." She reached and arm across and gently grasped for Skye's fingers.
More blushing followed. Emily had been so afraid of this situation initially, not necessarily with Skye, but with anyone. Some of that was still there, but honestly now her and Skye just seemed inevitable. "Thank you." her other arm reached forwards, her hand gently trailing Skye's cheek.

Skye might not have blushed at her own implication but Emily sure as hell did. She'd not even though of that, thank goodness Skye wasn't more forwards, or just a teenager. Why would people sleep like that? Especially in winter. Regardless, she was glad that Skye had picked something not remotely revealing, she was so so not ready for that.
Emily giggled and shook her head in amusement. "You know what I mean silly." She mused about Skye's personality and her emotions before gently nuzzling back. "I'm glad. You deserve to be happy." Truth be told she wasn't really sure what it was about her that made Skye happy, and she'd rather Skye was happy regardless of whether or not she was there but it was still a positive.
Emily was still sitting up, cross legged when Skye lay down and while her emotions were nothing to worry about, her words definitely were. She grasped Skye's arm softly. "Hey. Hey no."
This was not okay. Not at all. Emily shifted so that her legs were and arms were spread apart over Skye and leaned right over her, unrestrained purple locks dangling down over Skye's head much like they had the first time the two of them had kissed. "Shut up." She whispered. Why were her eyes blurry?
"You're not broken. You were getting over something when we met, that doesn't make you broken. You're wonderful and full of light, and that's not a pun." She sighed, eyes obviously watery from something unrelated. "Don't sell yourself so short, please?" The tone was pleading.

Chuckling at the comment Emily stretched out a little. "Sorry~" she definitely hadn't intended on making Skye fall asleep, she'd just been so comfortable. She was still so comfortable, although she was definitely more awake than she had been previously.
Emily giggled. "That would help yes, we can't always fall asleep in here wearing the clothes we went out in, it's not particularly conductive to a good nights rest." To be fair, the last time they had both been a little drunk which probably helped.
Smiling and watching Skye practically skip away Emily shook her head in amusement, moving over to her drawers to pull out something to sleep in. She didn't really wear pjamas as such, just T-shirts and comfy pants in bed. Dumping the worn clothes into her basket and quickly got changed. Skye still seemed to get back extremely quickly, which made Emily smile.
She had noticed on the other people around her now, thankfully none of them were giving off any particularly bothersome emotions.
Emily was sat cross legged on the bed when Skye came back in and chuckled. "Wow, that is so you." She murmured, waiting for Skye to sit at the edge of the bed. She'd already turned the lights down, reaching out she gently tugged Skye towards her. "You make me really happy. Thank you for being you." She murmured, more awake than she'd been when Skye left, but it'd not be long before she was sleepy and relaxed again.

Was good to know that Skye wouldn't do that sort of thing in public, Emily didn't need people around the mansion thinking she'd suddenly gone soft, that just would not do. She didn't mind the teasing truth be told, it just reminded her that Skye liked her, which gave her little tummy butterflies.
The kiss, was nice. It was intense in a way that Emily was definitely not used to, not that it was all hormones or anything it was just sudden and emotionally charged. Her arms and hands did the aimless flailing thing they'd done the last time they'd been in here kissing and fell back a little before placing one behind her and propping herself up so she wouldn't fall down, or drag Skye down with her.
"It wasn't really an idea, I'm just so comfortable around you and I'm normally so sleep deprived it's easy to fall asleep." She admitted.
Now it was Emily's turn to reach out and cup Skye's face gently, turning the cute little blushing face back to her. "You're beautiful." She murmured, absent mindedly before planting a gently kiss on her girlfriend. "I want you to stay with me, i-if you're okay with that."

Emily's face quickly flushed in again. "Are you trying to get my face stuck like this?" She muttered along with a curse word or two, feeling a surge of awkwardness melded with a hell of a lot of affection for Skye.
Full mage build? Hah. "I don't know Skye, you don't really seem like a careful planner to me~" Hot headed came to mind.
The warm affection and cuddling attention had just made it even easier to start to drift off. She stirred a little more when Skye more fully turned her attention to Emily causing a sheepish smile to spread across the Brit's lips.
Chuckling quietly at he lovely compliment Emily was about to stifle another yawn when Skye leaned in and kissed her. She hadn't really been expecting it this time, and that was definitely the thing that woke her back up. She shivered a little and reciprocated, enjoying the physical and emotional warmth that went along with the smooch.

It wasn't like she cared that much what people thought of her and how she lived was it? "I wouldn't say so no, I imagine your room is in much more of a state than mine regardless." Alice didn't seem like the neatest human being to Emily, and even if Emily wasn't super neat by nature she'd taken to cleaning up as something to do when the insomnia had kicked in.
Skeletons in the closest? Nope. There were things in her closet that were not for everyone's eyes, but thankfully they were pretty well hidden. "I'm not quite sure what you mean." She replied with a raised eyebrow. "Why, what do you have in yours?"
Trying to hide her fairly obvious fluster, trying to ignore what she was picking up from Alice, Emily floundered a bit. "Is it that obvious?" She muttered.
Emily shuddered at the thought, grabbing the bottle of rum and giving it another swig. "Then I'll need to be plenty inebriated." hormonal people were a problem sometimes. "On that note if you ever need a wing-girl I'm basically always cheating with that sort of thing."
"No groping sounds good." She agreed, not that she'd had that problem too much mind, but the absence of it could only be a positive.
Tilting her head at Alice's curiosity she thought about the question. "Honestly I don't know if I've been to your kind of bar that much, I've done a lot of college bars and a lot of house parties. If the music and vibe is right I can sort of just get floaty and lost in the sea of giddiness."

Emily tilted her head a little. Banter was all well and good, and Alice was super suggestive most of the time they hung out, Emily just let most of the flirting glide off of her, or failed to take it as a compliment and got awkward. But how did she take that suggestively?
"Why not? It's not like I'm ashamed of my room or anything." She admitted, somewhat blankly.
The second part was the thing that got to her, Emily's cheeks flushed probably more brightly than Alice had actually seen them. "W-What has she got to do with anything?" She stammered.
She hadn't actually told anyone about that, was she that transparent? (Yes)
Emily lifted the bottle back to her lips. "No arguments here." She murmured, taking a larger swig of rum and not coughing or sputtering at all with this one.
"Alice, depressing isn't the problem. It's the hormonal places, college parties and that I tend to take issue with. Being on the receiving end of petty lust is not pleasant."
"Drink is drink. I have some vokda and tequila in here somewhere. Anything that numbs and isn't going to come up right way works." She was more practiced than most woman her age with the drinking thing, she just normally mixed them.

The nuzzles were lovely. This whole interaction would have probably made Emily a little nauseous if she was on the outside looking in, and she was acutely aware of that, but it didn't mean that she was enjoying it any less.
A tiny yawn escaped Emily's lips as she settled with Skye. "Maybe you're right. But I still could have hidden the awkwardness, keep my edgy persona alive." She joked, happy that she could kind of hide her expression from Skye.
Emily giggled at Skye's character choices. "Projecting much?"
She'd occasionally chuckle when Skye got herself killed, the woman was distracted it seemed. Oops. Actually Emily kind of liked being thought of as a distraction.
The embrace was just so warm, content and comfortable. Something about the rythmn, leaning against Skye and the little kisses on the cheek made Emily slowly closer her eyes, she occasionally opened them again before slowly dipping back down.
When Skye spoke again Emily's eyes shot open. She blushed and stretched a little in the blanket. "It is nice. Sorry, I'm boring." She murmured a little sleepily.

It was kind of a given now that whenever Skye said or did anything particularly emotional or loving, Emily blushed. Her cheeks were going to get stuck on that setting at this rate, she wriggled and hid her face from Skye once more. "W-Wasn't trying, just being honest." She muttered awkwardly.
"Part of me wishes we'd done this over text, if only so I could actually physically hide my sheer awkwardness from you." She whispered.
Emily made a sound that could charitably be described as girlish glee when Skye responded to the snuggling comment in kind and she proceeded to bury her awkward red face in Skye's top. Just hiding there for a few moments before Skye sighed and went to set up a game. Her face had changed from cooked lobster to mildly sunburnt English girl. Which was an acceptable level of persistent awkward.
More giggles. Obviously. "I suppose we'll see." She fetched a blanket and pulled it up to them, snuggling up very close to Skye while she started playing, resting her head on Skye's shoulder and watching the screen.

Emily shook her head in amusement at Alice. "Well now you know next time we meet in a bedroom, or you wear more layers." She replied flatly. It wasn't really her fault that she'd gotten caught up, so she wasn't likely to apologise.
"Yeah. Once we get in somewhere you'll quickly forget all about the cold." Alice was definitely at least as prickly as Emily, although Emily herself had eased up a little bit since she'd started dating. It was hard to be moody all the time when an adorable girlfriend was throwing her best efforts at dissuading that.
Taking the bottle and having a swig of her own she coughed a little. She didn't drink neat rum all that often. She hadn't drunk all that much recently, actually. Until she'd invited a certain someone over for video games. "Good idea. Might wanna go easy on that though, before we've partook in other things." She suggested with a raised eyebrow, pointing at her own bag. "Unless the plan was to do that later, as a wind down. Which works for me too. In which case I'll need a few more shots."
"I'll admit, I'm curious to see what your idea of a fun bar is. And how long it is before it gives me a headache."

Emily rolled her eyes for effect. "Well good." She really enjoyed closeness with Skye, kissing was really the height of that, it was about as physically close as they could get. "Funny, when I'm with you, especially this close to you I don't really notice other people. I'm sure there must have been people walking past or in other rooms at some point during the movie, but I only felt you." She admitted, blushing a little more.
Emily shifted her head against Skye so that Skye would not catch the fresh colouring of her cheeks. Emily more directly wrapped both arms around Skye and leaned back into her. "Well I'm feeling selfish and want all of your cuddles. So one of the things that's conductive to snuggles."
"If you want to do that now I'm totally up to it, I also don't mind snuggling you while you play a game. Or fishing another movie. I'm just happy as long as you're here with me." Honestly was weird.

Emily quirked an eyebrow at Alice as she reached the other Brit, her feet crunching on the icy grass. "I would not regard any lateness as fashionable, perhaps more understandably I'm late due to work being a flood of paper work." She also snorted. "Don't tell me the weather here bothers you, at least it settles on a tone, the UK's weather is more indecisive than most teenagers."
Emily jangled her bag a little as if for dramatic effect. "Uh duh. I'm not a barbarian, I wouldn't turn up without it." She joked. Stepping more towards Alice a little bit. "Are you sure you don't want to run inside and grab another layer or two? You look like an icicle. I mean more than usual." She teased, gesturing up to Alice's bright blue hair with a smile.
Rolling her eyes. "No duh. Do you really think I'd turn up without it? Just because I got held up does not mean I'm not prepared."

Emily blushed and wriggled when Skye spoke, she turned her face away for a few moments and her legs and arms receded a little bit. Emotions could still be really hard. She took a breath and sat up a little bit, cupping Skye's head again before giving her another kiss. "I'm glad. Not so much that it was me that helped you, but more that you feel like that. It makes being around you more fun too~" She purred, leaning her head against Skye's shoulder again and closing her eyes.
She broke the kiss and blinked at the screen, the movie was over. That had gone quickly. She supposed she'd only half paid attention, Skye was here and Skye being here meant at least half of her attention span was being held hostage with cuddles. "So. That wasn't terrible." she giggled.

Emily was very glad that Skye was equally content as she was. Truth be told she'd not realised for a while that she was developing feelings for the other woman, it had just sort of sprung on her. She had definitely not felt any attraction to Skye initially, or for a while. If anything the attraction had only started very recently after she realised that she enjoyed Skye's personality and emotions so much.
She enjoyed the kisses and the contact, as long as things didn't progress beyond that. For now. Blushing a little she turned her head in Skye's lap to reply, reaching up and stroking Skye's cheek. "I'm so happy that you've learned to like yourself. You seem so much happier, even when we're not, you know..." She smiled timidly.
