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.

Kealey had to smile a little in spite of herself, ”It was fine. I think motorcycles are something I could get to like.” she took her bag from the tail and did her best to stay out of the way while Mars handled all the preparations. The downtime wasn’t good. Downtime let her think. What could Jacen have figured out that pulled him to Florida, especially under these circumstances.
Soon enough though, they were settled in the plane, it was cutting through the sky, and Kealey was doing everything she could to sit still. She felt the flare of irritation when she asked him to calm down and winced slightly, he spoke and said he’d try and she nodded gratefully, ”It’s just that you’re feelings are as big as the rest of you…and it’s a lot to handle.”
The talking was obviously making it better, Kealey realized a little while later as Mars talked and talked about the powers he possessed. Apparently they had a void, and Kealey watched wide-eyed as he opened it up and tossed a peanut inside. The peanut just…disappeared. ”Wow!” she said, then tilted her head as Mars explained that something Jacen had done had given him the power, while usually one of his siblings had it. ”When I’m around him, I just feel me...no wondering if what I think I want is what I really want. I just know.” she said softly, ”I guess it’s different for everyone.”
Mars commented that the void he’d made was a gateway to his mind and Kealey’s brow rose again, ”So you just put a peanut into your mind?” she said, slightly baffled.
His comments on the ways of thinking between he and his brothers was interesting and Kealey wanted to ask for more. It was definitely obvious that Venus and Mars were very different. Then he asked about her. Kealey tilted her head and thought, how did her powers work?
”Well…I can feel emotions…all of them. Yours, the lady who brought me the water, the pilot, anyone.” Kealey paused for a moment, ”I don’t know exactly what my range is…but I can feel a whisper from pretty far away. Walls and floors don’t necessarily do a whole lot…” The blond shrugged, ”I didn’t know until several weeks ago that I like hamburgers.” Kealey shrugged her shoulders, ”I can change them too…I try not to…but I might have if you hadn’t calmed down a little, or if you’d gotten nastier at the apartment. Sometimes it’s too much.”
Just then the captain’s mind came over the intercom to let them know that they’d be descending and that there could be turbulence. Kealey shrugged her shoulder as she fastened the seatbelt of her plush seat, ”The captain is confident. I don’t think we have anything to worry about.” she commented and sat back.
”What’s it like?” Kealey asked after a few moments of silence as she looked out the window, ”Not feeling like who you are is a burden to normal life?”
~~”It’s just that you’re feelings are as big as the rest of you…and it’s a lot to handle.”
“ I do try to watch my figure.” He smirked. Letting a bit of the stress fade.
~~”Wow!” ”When I’m around him, I just feel me...no wondering if what I think I want is what I really want. I just know.” ”I guess it’s different for everyone.”
“Well it switched over because we all merged again…we were a single human I guess…it is so odd. Something in our mutation fractured that one person originally, it is almost like cell division. But I think I retained the original power because I was the one that made first contact with Jacen.”
~~”So you just put a peanut into your mind?”
“yes, I know it is odd to think but it seems to turn to nothing but when if you were to reach in there and wanted to get the peanut you could.” He nodded toward her and opened up the void. Near her floating in the air.
~~”Well…I can feel emotions…all of them. Yours, the lady who brought me the water, the pilot, anyone.” ”I don’t know exactly what my range is…but I can feel a whisper from pretty far away. Walls and floors don’t necessarily do a whole lot…” ”I didn’t know until several weeks ago that I like hamburgers”I can change them too…I try not to…but I might have if you hadn’t calmed down a little, or if you’d gotten nastier at the apartment. Sometimes it’s too much.”
He smiled realizing that she very well could have taught him a lesson. Though he wasn’t sure that she could invoke an emotion that wouldn’t make him want to defend himself… Growing up in the tragic realm of a tortured boys mind hardly allows for many responses to most emotions.
Fear, causes him want to fight…sadness causes him want to fight, per haps if she mad him really happy… but then could he be to happy to defend against such a manipulation?
“That is intriguing, Kealey, so then just the five of us up here is kind of a break?”
~~”The captain is confident. I don’t think we have anything to worry about.”
“That one is cocky. But he is good so I suppose not.”
~~”What’s it like?” ”Not feeling like who you are is a burden to normal life?”
“Hmmm. Is it that you feel like a burden or are burdened? My dear, you are just another step forwarding evolution, In every mutant I have ever come across the key to acceptance is learning control over what you can do. There are very few that can’t control what they do with time and concentration and some looks inward, I think that you would be able to master your abilities.”
“As far as not being a burden to normal life, I am afraid that I am probably purposefully a burden most of the time. There are things in this world that need to be challenged. As far as being burdened, do you know how nice it is to knock on a door and have a woman walk out and not look at you like a monster? Or have children freeze when they see you and hide behind their parents who look like they want to hide themselves? But such is life, so I am a predator instead of prey in life, so be it.”
The plane descended and he grinned at her. “ I think we should stretch a bit and then hop on that motor cycle and see if we need to straiten those two out. after we land of course.”
The flight had been relatively short and uneventful; soon they would be on the hunt. Mars looked out over Tallahassee and his smirk and want to stretch disappeared, something in his gut made him want to move and fast. And even before the plane was fully stopped he was up and moving. He handed Kealey her helmet and put his own on his head. After she was seated he wrapped his tail a bit more securely around her, last time was to make her feel safe and guide her, this time it was necessary. When the cargo hold opened the sound of machine gun fire rang out in the distance and his tail was going to make her feel safe while he opened up the performance cycle to its fullest. The motor cycle screamed down roads and toward the sound. If this wasn’t where Jacen was Mars was about to make whoever distracted him from his goal pay for it. They were closing on what would be the ground zero any moment now.
