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.

The following text arrived at 8:45 AM on Tuesday morning.
Agent Tiger, it said, report to 564 Henning Ave no later than 9:30AM. Say "I am here for my appointment with Dr. Mortinson."
At 8:45:02, this addendum arrived:
Probably is best you do not bring gun. Probably this will tell them you are fake child.
The sender was Panu.
564 Henning Ave was a Church of Humanity Wellness Clinic.
"Free x-gene screening," proclaimed a cheerful sign in the window, and the receptionist at the front desk was very nice looking.
At 9:18 AM, she smiled at a family who had been waiting. An older man and woman, and a six year old girl who looked a bit like them. The girl did not smile back. She kept her head down, and her hands tucked up the sleeves of her coat.
"Doctor Mortinson will see you now," the receptionist said, and the three were escorted by a smiling nurse into the back of the clinic.
At 9:27 AM, the man and woman left the clinic alone.

Abby was getting ready to head to her next class when her phone went off. Strange. There weren't a whole lot of people who knew her number. Her uncle wouldn't text her during the day, he worked.
Agent Tiger report to 564 Henning Ave no later than 9:30AM. Say "I am here for my appointment with Dr. Mortinson."
And then another buzzed.
Probably is best you do not bring gun. Probably this will tell them you are fake child.
What? Abby paused in the hallway and thought through what Panu had texted her. Agent Tiger was the name he used when they first met and then they did a thing with a cult-like group and... She wondered if she should ignore the second and get a gun anyway. Though... where would she get one from?
8:48 AM Why? Whats there?
She waited five minutes before sighing and just going with it. She could afford to miss a day at school. At least she didn't have a test today. That would've been fun to explain. She was dressed for the drafty indoors but outside was cold enough for her to not look strange. Henning Ave wasn't too far. About a twenty, twenty-five minute walk from the school if she remembered right.
The building looked nice enough. Church of Humanity Wellness Clinic. That seemed okay too. But the last time she followed Panu when he called her Tiger...
9:15 AM I expect this to end in ice cream like last time
9:16 AM I'm here now. Going in.
There. He at least knew where she was. At the very least if something happened to her there would be records due to her phone. The little blonde let the small family go ahead of her. The little girl was cute. The parents ignored her completely.
Abby stood off to the side to watch. She kept her phone out to look busy. People tended to ignore teenagers when they had their phones out.
9:18 AM Child younger than you in front of me. Parents do not look pleased. (1 Attachment)
Abby hoped the picture of the little girl would help. The last time they had been looking for information. So the more she gave Panu, the better it would probably be.
"Can I help you, young lady?" the receptionist asked. She looked nice. This whole place looked nice. For whatever reason, Abby's instincts were telling her to Get Out Now.
Abby looked up from her phone with a final deep breath. "I am here for my appointment with Dr. Mortinson," she recited. The receptionist nodded and made a few motions on her keyboard.

"The doctor will see you now," a nurse called from the open door to the back of the clinic.
Abby looked up and followed the nurse to the scale. The nurse chattered at her about the weather and Utopia and all sorts of things that Abby only barely listened to. After being left in the exam room, she went back to her phone.
9:31 AM The nurses are very cheerful
9:32 AM Are there no records of the children going to the clinic? They would have to finance the tests somehow
Just as she hit send, the door to the room opened. It was an elderly man, looked older than Doc at least. He also reminded her of the tales of old men yelling at children to 'get off their lawn.' That is to say, he scared her a bit.
"Good morning, Miss Tiikeri. I'm Dr. Mortinson. I hear you've got some questions for us."
The little girl nodded. "I... Momma told me I couldn't come home until I could prove I was a good girl. They said I could come here to find out."
