The world was dying. Dying from those so called "natural disasters". But a lot of the blame went to mutants, also known as Homo-Superior. Some say they are the next step in the race. Others... the fall of it. Wars break out between these two sides. Groups attach themselves.
One group known as the Purifiers is well known. They claim to be humanity's savior. They kill anyone who is different than them. Any mutant, whether or not they were doing any harm.
Another well known group is the X-Men. They hope for peace between both sides. Their leader was once the mighty Professor Xavier. A powerful psychic. Though he ended up dying protecting both humans and mutants. After his death, the X-Men continued their work. Though their school ended up being closed down and they sent their students back home. All for their own safety. They work to bring about Professor X's dream and hope to soon reopen the school.
Their enemies, the Brotherhood, hope to make mutants the dominant race. In their minds, mutants are already the dominant race and humans are just vermin, cockroaches. Bugs ready to be squashed. Their leader was the powerful Magneto. He could bend and control metal. He was so strong, it was rumored he could move a bridge with just a flick of the finger. Though he ended up disappearing at the same incident that cost Professor X's life. Some say he is dead. Though the Brotherhood refuse to believe it and wait for his return.
There is a war out there, one with many sides; each with their own mission to fight for.

The street was crowded with people. Two groups of them actually. One group actually cheering on the rally that was happening. The other group was being held back by police.
"You're nothing like us! Mutants are dangerous and weapons!" they were screaming.
Lucia watched the rally among the cheering crowd. There on the stage in front of her was the leader of the MRD, Luis Reyes, was talking. To his right was Cyclops, new found leader of the X-Men. Ever since Professor X passed away, Cyclops has taken charge. And to Reyes' left was the Mayor of San Francisco.
Reyes was talking about the peace that the MRD would bring. Lucia gladly listened. She was for peace. She believed that the X-Men were the ones to follow. Their ideas made the most sense to her.
As soon as Reyes had gotten done with his speech, Cyclops took the mic.
"We choose are own destiny."
Those words truly stuck out there for Lucia.
Suddenly the Earth started to shake. Sheets of metal and metal poles flew through the air.
"It's Magneto! He's alive!"
People were panicing. Running around. Luca was getting bombarded, trampeled.
"Hey! Look out!"
She was about to fall back after being pushed when a hand caught her before falling.
"Thanks," she said.
She looked to her helper. It was a young man. He was pretty beefy. Probably some jock, Lucia assumed.
"Probably not the best place to be taking a seat," he said, helping her up.
She didn't know how to respond. She got pushed. She wasn't resting. She knew he was joking, but it wasn't a good time to joke.
Lucia was brought back to reality when a sudden scream caught her attention.
"It's Pyro!"
What looked like tails of flames whipped around. They were chasing regular people. Apparently Lucia and the jock caught one of their attention. (Question of the day: Do flaming tails have attention to grab?) It heading right for them.
Lucia was ready to fight, but the jock pushed her out of the way just in time. He fell on top of her, protecting her.
"You cannot pick a fight with fire," he said, getting up off of her.
He helped her up once more. This time he began pulling her away from the mess. Lucia wanted to help though.
"We need to help," she said, pulling on his hand.
His hand was firmly grasped around her's.
"We cannot do anything if we are burned to a crisp," he said. "Hurry up or we are about to get roasted."
Lucia looked behind them. Another flame was chasing them. They ducked into an alley way as the fire just nearly missed them. It wasn't long though until for flames came and cornered them in the alley.
"Where do we go?" asked the jock.
Lucia looked around. To their right was a window. Pretty small, but big enough for both of them to get through. The jock say what she was looking at.
"I can break it," he started.
"No! I got this," Lucia hastily replied.
She held her hand out at the window. Her normally green eyes flashed white. With that the window started to melt away.
"Quick!" she ordered.
The jock didn't question and ran through the opened hole. Lucia followed. Once she was inside, she held her hand back towards the window. Her eyes flashed white once more and the window reformed.
The jock stood in awe. He walked up to the window and tapped the newly formed glass.
"How-" he couldn't even form a complete sentence.
She turned towards him. He didn't look scared. He looked amazed.
"I am a mutant," she answered. "If that wasn't obvious." The last part she muttered under her breath.
"Oh," he said, like it didn't register at first. He shook his head and stuck out his hand. "Name's Grant by the way. And yours?"
He was a strange one this Grant. Lucia didn't understand why he wasn't afraid. He didn't look like a mutant hater, but he didn't look like he liked them either.
"Lucia," she finally answered, shaking his hand.
"Good, now that we got introductions out of the way. Get ready to die!"
The new voice echoed in the empty building Lucia and Grant were in. It wasn't completely empty actually. A group of Purifiers were on the other side of the room. They seemed to be smiling, happy that they might have actually captured a mutant.
They began to close in on Luca and Grant. The two couldn't go back the way they came. There was fire blocking their path. But they couldn't go the opposite way because the Purifiers were blocking it.
One went to attack Lucia. She braced for impact, but she felt nothing. She opened her eyes and there on the floor was the Purifier, knocked out. She looked over at Grant. His hands were glowing a blue-ish colour.
"You did that?" she asked.
"Apparently," he was even stunned at what he did.
Suddenly a smile grew across his face. He glared at the rest of the Purifiers. And one by one, he fought them all off. Lucia didn't even need to jump in.
Once the enemies were knocked unconscious, Grant turned to Lucia.
"Probably should get out of here," he said.
"Yeah," she agreed, nodding.
They ran out the front door.

So this is a SYOC. I don't want to try to put multiple forms on here, so the news forms are on my profile. You can submit a mutant and now a normal human. Be careful to read the rules at the end of the forms.
