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.

Sunny was walking on the grassy lawn in front of him carrying his luggage. The sky was overcast and it seemed like it could rain or to Sunny's delight, to snow. However he didn't have his hopes up for snow since he was in a new place and in a completely different climate. Even if it was meant to be winter here, Sunny could feel the heat of the day. It wasn't as cold as Iceland was and he missed the bitterness of it. He did though, enjoy the beautiful scenery and it was nice to look at the green green grass at this time of year. The leafless tress seemed so gray since Sunny had been used to seeing evergreen trees most of the time since they could survive cold weather a lot more. He looked around a lot more though keeping his head down which he normally did he felt anxious or scared. Actually he always had his head down unless it was to do with Archery or practicing his powers.
He was coming up to the mansion now and was only a few meters a way from it now. He could here the muffled sounds of people coming from with in it and a few faces flickering by the windows. He thought how many people would be here and would they be nice to him. It was hard enough making friends in Iceland and he thought that it would probably be harder here. Thankfully he was looking his best today since he slept at the airport back at Iceland and on the plane. It didn't stop the nightmares he had, which he shudder at the thought of them but at least his face was looking a lot healthier then the normal pale.
He looked at the door in front of him and wondered what to do. He was too scared to knock on the door but he had too since people had to know he was there. He gently lifted his hand in front of him but then he quickly recoiled. His mind kept going through so much stuff, like the students making fun of him, and he swear he could already hear the taunts of them already. He really didn't know what to do.

Just as a young man was walking through the gate Lutz fell back off the wall he was helping to fix. He hit the ground with a thump and threw a marble by accident at the sidewalk near the man. “Oh ****! I am so sorry. You’re not hurt right?" he said looking at the luckily just blackened concrete.
He thought to himself 'wow he might be a little hurt but I am basically a slave for the next month....' ray looked at the man trying to figure out if this man had a power, he had no idea. "So are you here to live here? I heard the rooms are quite nice."
Sunny herd a thump and then turned round to see a mini explosion but never heard it. Sunny was blown back a bit and luckily fell onto a some grass for a soft landing. Thankfully the bright light of the explosion nullified his senses and he saw where the explosion came from. He was glad that his eyes were able to with stand bright light and also very thankful that because of this, if any bright light shined in his eyes, all other sense would switch off. His sense of touch however was weakened considerably so he didn't feel the initial pain or shock, which was good. Sunny only had a few grazes and didn't feel to bad. His suitcase seemed to be fine as well, although laying near him. He stood up and heard the a guy swearing and asking if he was alright. Sunny looked down so that the man couldn't catch eye contact with him. "Erm...erm...I'm fine thank you" he said although quite feebly. Sunny thought that this was very bad. The first thing that happened was him being knocked back by an explosion which rattled his mind a lot more now. He knew that he wasn't going to get any sleep tonight if he wanted to endure a nightmare all about explosions. "Erm...Yeah...I'm going to be a student here" he said, still looking down with his starting to edge on to blushing. He really thought that this man was going to make fun of him, in some type of way.

Lutz noticed the boy looking down somewhat. "hey you OK? you look a little sad." he said looking around to see if any greeters were coming to meet the new student. "so your going to be a student here? I might be some day.... after I fix the wall and finish the chores."
"If you haddent noticed my power is to create explosions with marbles." he said showing the man a marblke then putting it back inside his pocket. "also if you ever want someone to spar with or just to talk to I will be here for like the next 2 to 3 days."
Sunny was a little startled at the mans caring attitude. Sunny did think that maybe the guy was going to make fun of him or was tricking him into a false sense of security but he decided that the man probably was being nice. The man did seem to be a little weird but Sunny wasn't the one to judge appearances, he mainly judged people by their personalities and if they made fun of him or not. "Erm...no I'm not really sad..." he said trailing off at the end of the sentence and giving off a faint smile. He still looked downwards in fear of making actually eye contact with the person. though with the man being nice, he did feel a lot less nervous then he was before. It was nice to know the mutation of the man and Sunny had an odd sense of freedom. He was able to talk about his mutation here without feeling judged at all. When it did come down to mutations Sunny never did doubt the ability of his powers. His powers were moderately capable of protection and destruction and now that he was able to talk to someone about his powers properly it perked him up a bit. "Oh erm...Well I can control light...not sunlight...but torch light and other things similar...and I can create light shields and light blasts from them" he said with a quaint little smile on him though he still looked down. Sunny felt a lot calmer and relaxed now knowing that he had just made a friend. It seemed Sunny was already being asked to have a little fight with powers, which Sunny thought would be nice. Sunny would be a lot more in his element when it came to his powers and a little Spar would be good for him. To think that he could also talk to this guy for a few days was relieving and thought how good this guy was. He gave a out calming sigh. "That...that would be nice" he said looking slightly a towards the guy a bit more, though avoiding eye contact. "My name is Sunny by the way"

"thats cool, and my names Ray but I go by Lutz." he replied glaring at the broken wall. "I would love to spar right now in the mansions traing room..er wait...do they have one? Ha... Well I'm a little busy fixing this crappy wall." he then said looking to see if Streak was going to come out and stab him for commenting badly on the wall.
Sunny nodded at his name and thought that it was a well intentioned for Lutz to think to spar now but that would have been equally a problem for Sunny since he still had to get into the actual mansion and put all his stuff into a room and get to know more people. Well it didn't matter to much since Sunny was having a nice time chatting to Lutz.
Sunny looked at the wall and wondered why it was being fixed. It seemed that Lutz wasn't exactly a regular here and he did say he was hanging around for a few days. He couldn't be a student then and he didn't look like a teacher so he must at least of had some objective here and must have linked to the wall. That's what Sunny seemed to deduce from it.
"What happened...to the wall" Sunny said looking at it thoroughly. He then turned back to Lutz to see what he would say. Sunny still looked down slightly, away from his eye contact. He wasn't as of yet fully confident or friendly enough to look at Lutz in the eyes and even if they were, it would still take an age with to do that.

"Oh the wall...well you see I don't exactly have a home anywhere so one day I decided I would try and steal some food from the mansion, as you can see it did not work out too well." he laughed as he said this. "I hope that if we both stay at this mansion we can be good friends, I would like to see your powers in action." he said wondering if something had happened to sunny to make him so shy.
Sunny listened in to Lutz little story of the wall. He felt a little sorry for Lutz not having a home and all. He did wonder why but Sunny wasn't about to ask anytime soon. Sunny was to scared to ask and intrude in to someones life at the moment. He would prefer to learn about Lutz over time and would probably ask him a lot later anyway. Sunny then looked towards the wall again and thought about Lutz's ability. His ability must be incredibly strong if a lot of marbles exploded at the same time. It must be handy as well.
Although Sunny thought stealing was wrong, he forgave Lutz. It wasn't as if Lutz stole from him or anything, Sunny just found stealing wrong but if Lutz had to get food then he forgave him. Sunny was a very forgiving person and was one of his natural personality traits and probably why so many people can walk all over him as well. Sunny was too nice and shy to the extent that people could easily manipulate him.
Sunny smiled a little at Lutz laughing and really did hope that Lutz could stay at the mansion. It would be nice being able to chat to someone and he didn't mind if Lutz did all the talking. "Erm...I would like that" Sunny said in a far away type of voice. Sunny was just in his mind a little and just wondering about a few things. Which was one of the things he did sometimes. He shook his head a little and realized that he had to go inside the mansion and enroll into the school and classes. "I...I have to go into the mansion now, I need to put my stuff down and get my classes sorted out" he said looking away from Lutz slightly.

"Ok sunny, I hope we see each other soon. I have to get back to fixing the wall anyway." he said wondering if he should try to enroll to this place, finally have a home and people who don’t hate him. He then went back to fixing up the wall as he heard sunny start to walk away.
Sunny nodded at Lutz "Yeah...erm...I hope we can see each other soon" he said as he then quickly turned to go into the mansion. Sunny felt a lot more comfortable now and thought that if Lutz was this nice and wasn't even a resident here, then the whole of the mansion residents must be nice to. Sunny felt that it was great meeting Lutz and wanted to see him in the mansion. If he wasn't then he surely was going to say goodbye if Lutz had to go. He took a big breath and turned around slightly to see Lutz fixing the wall. Lutz was defiently a very nice person and even if he did seem a little chaotic, Sunny felt relieved that he had made a friend the moment he came to the mansion. Sunny blushed slightly at an idea that popped into his mind. "Th-thank you" Sunny said and then quickly walked away not wanting to hear the reply of Lutz and not wanting Lutz to see him blush. He felt that it would be too embarrassing if Lutz saw him blush. He just hoped then when he was inside his blush would be gone.
