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.

" I'm sure I would have noticed you, but I guess I was pretty distracted."
Sam smiled he had a feeling that his distraction was either Ghost or his powers; Sam smiled back at Garret and nodded to his chuckle.
Sam looked back to Nika and then looked out the window trying not to sound like he didn’t want to talk about he then looked at her smiled and said, “Well…” Sam paused for a second thinking of the best way to respond and then he came up with what he thought was a vague but good answer, “Let’s just say for a time I misused my gifts.” Sam hoped that Nika wouldn’t press the subject anymore cause he really wasn’t ready to describe what his past was all about.
Sam looked over to Streak as he started to ask questions to Garret.
Sam had seemed to understand what he was talking about. It was all the hints he was going to give. Part of being with Maya meant respect for her good name. It was really part of being with any woman in Garrett's mind, but especially her. He had a sip of his soda and smiled at Nika after speaking with her. He sat idly listening to her and Sam talking when Streak asked him what his purpose for being at the Mansion was.
He smiled and nodded at Streak. " Well, to be honest, I was homeless. I happened to be in the right place at the right time when I saw Raina handing someone a pamphlet about the school. She had been kind enough to give me her lunch and when I saw the flyer, it seemed like the best option. I have had nothing but good impressions since I have been here. This little gathering here even is free of negativity."
He looked at his cup. It might need a refill soon and work time was approaching.
Sam's answer didn't really feel like an answer. In fact it only made Nika want to know what he meant. Not to mention that Nika never sugar coats anything.
"What exactly did you do with your abilities then? Did you hurt people?"
She remained focused on the man even while Garrett answered Streak.

Streak was satisfied by Garret's answer. He seemed like he was here for a good enough reason, but then again Streak wasn't looking for trouble he was just relaxing today. He listened to the conversation that Nika and Sam had going. It was definitely an interesting one. When Nika asked her question he was intrigued. He put his attention on Sam interested in his answer.

"What exactly did you do with your abilities then? Did you hurt people?"
Sam was trying to avoid this he wasn’t ready but she seemed adamant about finding out. Sam let out a sigh after hearing Garret’s story about being homeless Sam somehow got a little courage to talk a little about his past.
Once again Sam came up with the most vague answer he could think of he stood up and took off his shirt and turned his back to Nika and the others, “This sorta happened a little before the camps, it was basically do or die in the situation I was in, and I wasn’t ready to die.” He turned his head to them with a sad smile on his face hoping that Nika wouldn’t ask for a better explanation.
Garrett was enjoying the company, but he knew Tarin and Lee appreciated being prompt. He also wanted to shy away from any negative talk, as he had had nothing but that as of late. He didn't want to appear rude, so he did his best to be diplomatic about it. " Well, I hate to run out on you guys, but I actually have to be going to work. I lucked out getting a register jockey job at a medium's shop near Central Park. Two bus transfers and a brisk walk await." He stood and got his soda so he could go dump it out in the kitchen." Nika, Streak, it was nice to meet you both. Sam, take it easy. I'll tell Lee hello for you" He chuckled a bit and waved to the lot of them, shaking his head as he left the room.

Garret stood up and explained that he had to leave. I was good that he got a job especially with people he knew. He smiled at Garret and said, "Nice meeting ya Garret. See ya round." He gave a short wave and turned his attention back to the original two that remained in the living room. Sm's answer seemed a bit withdrawn from the questions Nika was asking him. It's like he doesn't want to answer the question. Streak thought. He then thought of something to change the subject with. "So. Sam. Do you think you'll wait til after they start classes here before you talk to Neena again?" He hoped this would change the subject enough. He was a little eager to see Sam become an xmen.
