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.

A Blue eye opened and shut as the body of Sam Johnson shifted on the cot he was lying on, the familiar smell and scenery he once thought he escaped years ago seemed to have crept up on him once again. The pale grey walls of concrete still had nothing on them. Barren and plain, a bookshelf with half a dozen books and a television mounted in one corner of the small room were the only things that seemed to be new. The bookshelf was the same as it was years ago but now there were actual books on them. Ones Sam never even heard of before. Then again he didn’t pay them any mind the familiar sound of the ceiling fan squeaking every rotation was enough to tell him where he was. The mirror was new as well.
Sam’s feet swung to one side of the cot and jumped up only to collapse shortly after he was tired and every muscle in his body ached. “Welcome home Sam I really missed you.” It was Amanda, her voice was calm and collected weakened if anything like she just pulled an all nighter and the strain could be heard in her voice.
”Here I thought I was having a nightmare.” Sam said quietly, “Oh more of a dream, you have been doing that a lot.” Sam remembered bits and pieces of the last 48 hours or what he thought was the last 48 hours that was all he could remember at least. ”How long have I been asleep?” Sam asked hoping no time has passed since he was under her control. “Three days and four hours. You have been asleep for all of it, or should I say sleep walking?”
Sam looked to the mirror and scowled at his own reflection he hated himself again, ”Let the kids go it’s me you want right?” he waited and didn’t hear a response so he took a step closer to the large mirror that covered one half of one of the walls. It didn’t take much to figure it was a one way window. ”I’ll do whatever you want… just let them go… please?” his voice faded towards the end but he could feel Amanda rooting around in his head, “awww Sam you are actually serious? Can’t wait till Sydney hears this…” Amanda’s voice faded and Sam looked away from the mirror hoping they’d take his offer.
Three kids for him? More than a fair trade in his opinion they wanted him anyways right? Why keep the kids when they only wanted him? “Sam, you are so adorable. You know we won’t agree to that. We have plans for them, and you. Why would we risk losng anything when we have you here? Have you home.” Home it was the last word that caused him to snap once he realized they weren’t leaving any time soon.
”You took me from my home!” Sam was shouting now and took a few steps closer to the mirror till he was looking at himself throwing a fist Sam slammed the window. ”Let them go! It’s me you want! Send them back unharmed and I’ll do anything!” Sam said trying to plead with her once more. “Sam you know we can’t do that, new management like I said before Sydney and I need those three for starters… then who knows.” She was taunting him and it was working. Sam slammed the window again and started to yell spit flew from his mouth and hit the reflection as his face turned red to match the shouting. Sam was angrier than he had ever been in his entire life. He was back in a cage, on a leash and worst of all he was forced to bring three others back with him. Chase, Elke and Ted, Chase was the only one of the three he knew personally but it still didn’t sit right with him.
”RAGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” Sam yelled again and the temperature in the room started to drop the mirror started to frost over and he slammed his fist once again trying to weaken and break the glass in the process. He couldn’t think straight he was furious with what was happening his greatest fears realized he put the mansion and all that resided in danger.
“Good night Sam, I’ll talk to you once you are in a better mood!” Sam slammed the window again, ”Don’t you walk away! I’m not done! I’m going to get out of here! I promise and when I do,” he slammed his fist again and he started to become light headed, “You’ll do what exactly? I have been in control for weeks Sam! You are nothing more than a pawn now! I am in control here not you! Oh you’ll leave the room alright only to go back to the mansion and pick up some more kids hell there was even a girl or two I thought we could visit personally maybe have a little fun with them.” Images flashed through Sam’s head and he was forced to collapse again three images passed through his mind before he blacked out; the mansion on fire, three in dark rooms and the last one was one he wasn’t expecting Alexandra his last serious girlfriend laying in a pool of red with her throat cut open.

Dream state:
Sam awoke again with a start and clutched his chest he was having a nightmare again. He was covered in sweat and out of breath. The room was dark except for a faint light coming from the shades by the window. Moving slowly from his bed he stood up and stretched with a yawn his eyes slowly opened again and he rubbed the sleep from them. Turning his head slightly he looked back to see a half naked figure lying in his bed and Sam smirked slightly. The brown hair trailed down the woman’s face and neck but her beauty was still apparent in fact Sam had never seen anyone so beautiful.
The woman’s body moved slightly and turned back over to face the opposite direction weather she knew what Sam was going to do next or didn’t he wasn’t sure but he was positive she was awake by now. Walking over to the window Sam stepped over a pair of sleeping dogs, an older and greyer Bruno a dog he had for years and Bo a German Shepard he had gotten for the beautiful woman in his bed three Christmases ago. ”Hey old buddy.” Sam said as he leaned down and patted Bruno on the head before continuing towards the covered window.
Perking his head Bruno moaned slightly then lowered it and rolled over to his side before he went back to sleep. It was still early so Sam couldn’t blame him but there was just something about today that made him wake up earlier than usual a feeling in his gut that said ‘live and love every moment’ and so today he was going to do just that.
Opening the shades with a quick motion they screeched on the bar they were resting causing the woman to groan and pull a pillow over her head. Sam turned his head towards her and smiled before looking back to the window and seeing the next best thing to the beauty in his bed. It was paradise.
The sun was peaking out from over the mountains greeting the mountains and Sam like old friends as a flock of birds flew across the windows to the nearest trees. It was still early he had to keep reminding himself as more light poured into the room with each second that passed. Movement behind him caused Sam to look away for a moment as another old friend of his slinked towards him and rubbed his shins with a small ‘meow’. ”Hey old girl.” Sam said with another smile as he bent down and scratched under Cammie’s chin before standing back up and admiring the view.
He lost himself for a moment in the scenery as his eyes started to water. He blinked and forced a pair of tears out of his eyes and he wiped them and sniffled. “What is my husband the type to start crying at a sunrise?” a woman asked behind him as more movement could be heard. A pair of hands wrapped themselves around Sam’s waist as he he felt a familiar hug from behind. ”Only when it looks like this.” Sam said with a smirk and turned towards the woman and wiped a few strands of hair from her face. ”Though I have to say I like this view much better than the one out there.”
“Oh?” The woman asked as she looked back up at Sam, ”Oh-Yeah.” Sam said as he pulled her closer and kissed her on the forehead and turned her towards the window. “I don’t know about that Sam. It is pretty amazing.” She said turning her back towards him so he could hug her from behind. Setting his chin in between her neck and shoulder Sam kissed her neck then added, ”Much better with the company, wife.”

Outside of the room Amanda’s face was red he was still dreaming about that woman he had broken up with a few years ago. They were married now as well? She frowned and was tempted to hit the window but didn’t otherwise she’d wake him. It was easy to will the mind to dream it’s own fantasies or past memories controlling them and adding a bit of yourself to them? That was trickier something she determined that was making her more exhausted than usual when she was in control of him. Either way it was best if Sydney didn’t find out because if they couldn’t control Sam then there wasn’t much point of keeping him around. She knew if he weren’t being controlled he’d eventually find a way out of the room he was being held in.
“Amanda, how is he holding up?” Sydney asked as he was looking in on the sleeping Sam standing next to her. She almost had forgotten he was still there. “He is fine, still resisting a bit but it is always a passing thought he is too easily distracted in his own head.” Amanda said without much of a thought, “I’ll let you know if anything changes of course.” She said looking to Sydney now who was smiling, “I take it training with the kids is going well?”
Sydney nodded, “They aren’t as quick as us but they are learning none the less. I don’t think any of them have any real idea what we have in store from them. Once we break them they will be more open to suggestions.” He turned towards the door and stopped short, “If Sam does become a problem I shouldn’t have to tell you what could happen. He nearly took out the entire mountain last time he escaped it wouldn’t be in our best interest to let it happen again. I trust you can make the call if need be yes?” It wasn’t a question without much of a thought Amanda nodded her head and jumped back inside Sam’s mind right before she responded to Sydney with a “Of course.”
Once Sydney was gone Amanda gave Sam’s dreams her undivided attention watching all that was transpiring while not doing anything to encourage or discourage like she had been doing before. For now she would simply observe everything that was happening. Who knows maybe she could even give Sam what he wanted. Maybe that would make him love her the way he seemed to love the girl in his dreams.

It seemed time had passed by while Amanda was talking to Sydney an hour or two maybe? The scene had changed since she had last visited Sam’s mind now he was in a kitchen sitting at a table eating a rather large breakfast and showed no signs of stopping. Sam put another few strips of bacon on his plate as he occasionally looked up to see the woman making more of it. Amanda could feel her face frown outside her own mind as things transpired.
”You know you don’t have to do this…” Sam said in between bites not really protesting the meal he obviously seemed to enjoy. It seemed the dogs around his chair enjoyed the meal just as much or were trying to if they could reach the bacon. Bruno took a step forward and stopped short when the woman’s voice started up again, “Bruno, no… that’s Sam’s food you have your own.” The woman turned her head to the dog bowls and frowned, “Sammy forgot to feed them again…”
”I told him he needs to learn some reasonability, Sammy!” Sam called out towards the end before the woman stepped closer to him, “Let me handle this alright? It’s your special day and you should relax. You deserve it.” The woman said exiting the room while she seemed to be looking for what Amanda assumed was their son. Footsteps could be heard leaving and entering the room turning his head Sam looked up to see Aryin his daughter. Amanda silently wondered why these two kids kept reappearing in his dreams along with that woman.
“Hi daddy!” the girl said whipping the sleep from her eyes and running towards Sam to throw her arms around his neck giving him a kiss on his cheek. ”Hey princess. Good sleep?” Sam asked trying not to spit up bacon while he was talking. “Yup, you?” she asked backing away and grabbing a plate of her own.
It seemed this dream was different from the other ones that Sam had. The woman he was sleeping with seemed aged and different from before but still beautiful while the girl seemed older and taller. It was a different dream but something that Sam wanted nonetheless.
“Oh Happy birthday!” the girl said quickly as she blew on her bacon causing it to frost over in the process. She frowned slightly, “Don’t tell mom!” she said quickly eating the frost covered bacon strip. Sam smirked and took a bite of one as well but frosted it before took a bite. ”You know she is going to find out eventually, we can hide things from her forever. Your mother is good with secrets but even better at discovering them.” Sam said in a hushed tone making sure Alexandra wouldn’t hear him.
“What secrets am I discovering?” Alexandra asked walking back into the room followed by Sammy covered in dirt. ”Noting.” “Nothing” Sam and Aryin said in unison, ”Covered in dirt already?” Sam asked Sammy changing the subject. “Yeah, I forgot to feed the dogs and, and I saw an eagle this morning!” Sammy said trying mixing shame with excitement.
Sam smirked and then nodded his head, ”Make sure you feed them got it?” Sam asked making it sound more like a command.
“Does this mean I can’t come to the party?” Sammy asked looking up to his mother. ”What party?” Sam asked raising an eyebrow, ”I told you I don’t want one. A nice quite night with you guys, sounds like a great night to me.” Sam said nodding into his coffee and taking a sip. “Oh Sammy thinks everything is a party, isn’t that right Sammy?” Alexandra said nudging her son with her elbow. “Aryan baby, why don’t you help your brother feed the dogs.”
Amanda pulled her mind out of Sam’s dream state and was satisfied with how things were going. Rubbing her eyes slightly due to being tired Amanda decided that it was time she should get some rest. Sam wouldn’t be going anywhere any time soon and she could always reach out and put him under if anything changed.
