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.

"Svetlana, I'm back. Ami's here too." Aurum called as the pair of them, him and his little sister, walked in through the front door of his apartment, grocery bags full of ingredients in-hand.
Amelia slipped by him to the kitchen, and dumped her ingredients neatly on the counter. She flopped down on the couch a second later with a thankful sigh.
Aurum's bags quickly joined hers.
He got to sorting groceries out.
"Dinner should be ready soon," He announced. "I can handle it on my own. You two talk."
Happily, Aurum pulled out his recipe books and got to work.
Sveta looked up. She had been reading a book (she had so much free time on her hands she actually started frequenting the library) waiting for Aurum to return home. She smiled when she saw Ami too.
"Hi. Welcome back."
>>"Dinner should be ready soon," He announced. "I can handle it on my own. You two talk."
She stood to help him, but she sat back when he spoke. by now she knew Aurum actually enjoyed working in the kitchen, and he didn't mind at all being left alone. She smiled at Ami.
"How are you doing?"
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Amelia smiled back. "Good." She said. "Actually, I've been meaning to talk to you."
Sure, this had been about the awesome dinner Aurum was making. That much was a no-brainer. But she'd been thinking... and waiting... and watching... and still, it looked like Aurum hadn't made a move. What an idiot, right? She had to ask.
"So." She began. How to start, how to start? "Anything interesting happen recently?"
Interesting, like Aurum asking her out or being charming or anything like that?
>> "Good. Actually, I've been meaning to talk to you. So. Anything interesting happen recently?"
Sveta smiled. Talking was good. She did not have many friends but counted Ami to be one of them, and she missed having a little girl talk every once in a while. Girl talks is good for the soul.
"Actually, yes." she nodded, confiding in her "I met a friend I haven't seen for a long time. And he gave me flowers."
'Gave' not being the correct term. But oh well.
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Oh. Sveta blinked. She would have told Ami more about Jude, but apparently she had a reason for asking that question, there was something else she wanted to talk about. Oh well. Now Sveta was curious.
"No... not really. Why?"
Ami always knew something. She usually knew stuff Sveta didn't, even though she was younger. So, whatever she was aiming at, it had to be interesting...
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
"Never mind," Ami shrugged. It could wait. "So, about this guy..."
Okay. Feigning interest had been lame. Apparently, Aurum hadn't done anything of interest. Now, she could ask about the one who had given Sveta flowers.
"Who gave you flowers...? Was he cute?" Did Aurum have anything to worry about here, or what?
>>"Never mind. So, about this guy... Who gave you flowers...? Was he cute?"
Sveta chuckled at that.
"It was Jude. Ghost's son. He... um. He grew up."
There wasn't any easier way of putting it, really. Sveta was still wrapping her mind around the idea. She had been texting, mainly to keep making sure he was there, and he was safe. With Ghost and Sebastian gone, he was the only one left from the closest thing she'd had to a family for a very long time.
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
>>"Oh, that old pervert." She sighed. "Whatever you do, watch his hands."
What? That... sounded suspiciously like what Jude said about Aurum. What the heck was going on here?!
"What?..." she blinked "Um, no, I mean, he is a really nice kid. Guy. He's not a pervert..." she trailed off. Wait, again, what did Ami know that she did not?
"Why do you say that?"
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Amelia looked at Svete seriously. What? She didn't know? "He's a total pervert, Sveta." She said. "Like, he groped me and everything. And then he had the nerve to say he 'respects the ladies'." Sure, extenuating circumstances. He was dealing with his mutation. It was probably an accident, but... seriously, Jude? Why would Sveta even consider taking flowers from him? That was like... did she need to call Chris Hansen?
"What did you two talk about...? Did he, like, tell you he 'loves you' or some stock line?" She grasped at straws.
>> "He's a total pervert, Sveta. Like, he groped me and everything. And then he had the nerve to say he 'respects the ladies'."
Sveta stared. What? Jude groping Ami?! Was that before or after he grew up? Did it even matter?...
>>"What did you two talk about...? Did he, like, tell you he 'loves you' or some stock line?"
"No..." she shook her head. Well, technically, he did. Or maybe he didn't. She was not even sure anymore. "He just... I don't know, I was really worried about him, I thought he went missing with May and Sebastian. It turns out that he was just dealing with his mutation. Which is kind of my fault. So... it was good to see him again."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
"Yeaaaaah... his mutation..." She remembered that. "It was really out of control, wasn't it? Like, he bumped into this gargoyle girl, and suddenly he was tearing off his shirt." Because wings grew. Not because he was like, this huge pervert, or something.
When had she seen him, again?
"I think I saw him before Sebastian and Ghost... and that whole thing..." She fell silent, thinking about it. What had even happened!? She didn't know. Aurum hadn't really told her what anyone had said. Really made a girl frown when the older brother unit was shielding her.
"Actually, I was worried about him too."
Bah. She couldn't just tear him down ruthlessly like that. It was almost too evil.
>>"Yeaaaaah... his mutation... It was really out of control, wasn't it? Like, he bumped into this gargoyle girl, and suddenly he was tearing off his shirt."
That sounded about right. He did talk about copying physical mutations. And looking like Satan himself. Must have been quite a sight.
"Yeah, it was bad." she nodded, remembering the city-wide coffee boost.
>>"I think I saw him before Sebastian and Ghost... and that whole thing... Actually, I was worried about him too."
"Me too" she nodded "But he is fine. He is learning to control it. And he grew up. He is older than me now" she smirked "Dat is his real age anyway."
