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.

Trace nodded at Hunter's explanation about the IDs and winced a bit at how Hunter came down on Raine. Trace had realized the nature of the girl's request. Being an inter-dimensional refu-gitive was not all it was cracked up to be. Their world was big and scary at the best of times, but it was theirs. It was familiar. The people they loved were there. People always liked to criticize refugees; they were likely targets for many political sects. The irony of that, however, was that they were the victims. They were the poor and the disenfranchised. They were also unfamiliar. They were targets. It was an awful life. You had to do what you could to survive.
"Raine is just feeling lost, Mr. Hunter. Think of the most recent dimensional crossover sci-fi movie you've seen and our lives have been about a hundred times worse. They always gloss over the particulars in those." he said, hoping he wasn't completely overstepping his bounds. Hunter had to learn sooner or later that Trace was a smartass. Might as well get that out of the way early. "Of course. I didn't expect you to." Trace replied to his comment about not discussing classified ops in front of the ladies. That only made sense. The statement had more been about letting Hunter know that Trace was serious about the business and he had no shortage of work ethic.
The next statement was a bit complicated to answer. Did Trace really have a place to stay? The answer was almost certainly no. He'd been staying at the Mansion for a while now while he was on the mend and trying to get things up and running. He hadn't exactly expected this opportunity, but he was going to do whatever he could to get out of the X-Men's hair as soon as possible. They'd been kind to him. Even after he'd explained what had happened. Well, most of what had happened. Their doctor had been able to glean many details using his power, but they hadn't gotten all the details. Trace barely even remembered most of the details. There had been a lot going on. And a git of a SUPER agent had put a knife solidly into his back. That did kind of awful things to your recollection. The massive blood loss didn't help, either. He noticed Raine clearing her throat and looking like she was the last person in the room that wanted any attention on her. That was usually the best way to draw all attention in the room to you. Trace let it slide. She'd had a rough day and he wasn't really sure what that was about anyway.
"My living situation is kind of... Tenuous, at best." he explained "I was fortunate enough to find some friends over here shortly after I landed." he said, the joke not playing with anyone present. They had no way to know the situation. But Trace was amused and that's what was important. "They won't turn me away. But my presence isn't exactly good for them. If there's somewhere else I can go, I should." he said simply. There was no point in being dishonest or tough in this situation. It sucked.
Trace did not let Ranger’s curt comment to Raine go by unchallenged. He hoped that offering to see what he could do for her was apology enough.
Finding Trace a place to stay seemed to be another way Ranger could help Trace. Haven had an interest in Sanctuary, or rather Haden had an interest in Sanctuary and by extension Haven did. Ranger could direct Trace to Sanctuary as a place to hole up until he could find himself his own place to live. This would keep Trace somewhere that Ranger could keep somewhat of an eye on him.
”There is a place here in the city called Sanctuary. They’re a shelter f’r mutants an’ they don’t ask a lot of questions about those they take in. I can’t think of a better place to set up until y’ have I.D. It might also be a good fit f’r y’ miss.”
Rianne was unsure about the idea of Trace and Raine staying in a shelter. Those types of places tended to be in high crime areas. Trace could certainly handle himself, he was a former SUPER agent after all, but if it was a shelter for mutants than it was likely mutant related crime that would be the issue. Yet, ”Sounds like a better option than Flea Bottom Motel.”

As nice as it was that Trace and Rianne felt the need to defend Raine, she was totally not phased. They were all old and responsible and their way of doing things was careful and slow. She just didn't feel that way all the time. Hence the vigilante gig in a world where that sort of thing was not only frowned upon, but actually illegal.
"Sanctuary, huh? Thanks." Welp. This was it. Raine was officially homeless and moving to a homeless shelter. She threw up her hands. Or washed them or whatever. It was mostly metaphorical at this point.
"Anything's better than Flea Bottom." She echoed the policewoman's words. So long as Rianne knew where to find her and so long as it was safe, that's where Raine would be. If it was free, that would be considerably better on her stress levels.
There were details and secret conversations to be had without her. They didn't have to talk around her any more. She was pretty sure this was her exit.
"It was nice to meet you Mr. Hunter." She stood all polite-like and offered her hand. "Rianne couldn't have a nicer version of herself on this side of the universe. I'm glad we came to scope you out and I'm sure Trace will be a good asset for the company. I'll grab your card on my way out if that's okay." Yeah. Totally professional outro. Raine would pat herself on the back all the way to this Sanctuary place.

Trace listened to the older man’s explanation of the Sanctuary and nodded. It was the best and only option that he really had. His mind initially went to a very SUPER place. It was going to take a while to scale that back. He hadn’t bought into the credo, he was still new at the time that he’d turned around and betrayed the organization. He hadn’t had the time it took to be jaded. He hadn’t had some personal tragedy that had catapulted him fully into the SUPER camp. They preyed upon that type. And preying was generally a bad thing. He was confident that he’d made the right decision. And whether or not he was, he had to see it through.
“Sanctuary. Got it. That sounds like a great solution.” he replied. He’d get the particulars of the location and how he needed to get there and all later. Surely Mr. Hunter would have a contact or a friend in that area. He seemed to have a lot of those. It was definitely something to keep in mind. Well connected people made poor enemies. Maybe you should have thought about that before pissing off the scariest government agency in existence... the little voice in the back of his mind chided. Man, was that guy ever helpful? Did he ever get tired of being a complete and utter tool?
Trace snapped back to the here-and-now just in time for Raine to stand and to hear Raine say something about Rianne not being able to have a nicer version of herself over here. Uh oh. Not that he’d been a shining example of maintaining OpSec or anything, but he might have to discuss things not to say with her. Trace sat back, unsure how this news was going to go over. Job offer or not, he knew which side he’d be on if things went south for some reason. Finding out that your doppelgänger was in the room with you might cause some issues.

Both Trace and Raine seemed on board with the idea of Sanctuary. Given the situation it was likely the best option. Especially for Trace. Raine decided that knowing where to go was her cue to leave. She said, "It was nice to meet you Mr. Hunter.” Stood and extended a hand to Ranger. Likewise, Ranger stood and shook the hand. "Rianne couldn't have a nicer version of herself on this side of the universe…”
A nicer version of Rianne in this universe.
Ranger blinked.
Rianne looked to Raine with a ‘Really?’ look on her face before turning to face Ranger with a smile and wave when he looked her way. It wasn't every day you got to be there for the moment you from another universe realizes you are them. And likely not what they expected at all.
”... Yeah. Go ahead.” Ranger said to Raine.
It was already established that the other universe had doppelgangers. Noel had played chauffeur to Tempest’s drunk doppelganger. There had also been some reports of confusion caused by other doppelgangers on the news. There had often enough been differences, but Rianne was very not male.
”Same parents, same birthday. We were even born in the same hospital.” Rianne supplied.
”That explains why yall were around t’ just jump int’ Trace’s rescue.” Ranger finally said.
"I wanted to meet myself in this universe. Running into Trace was a happy accident."
First he was a woman for a while, now when he met himself from another universe he was a woman again. Was the universe trying to say something?
