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.

Gorgon was reeling from the strike to her forehead with the handle of the dagger. She hissed, glaring at Tricity with her stoning vision. Her head pounded from the blade, causing her vision to blur, and possibly lessening the effectiveness of her powers.
*the aura had completely coverd chaos, and unlike the times before, it did not dissipate......he rushed at ire and orion, as he neard he lept forward, his blade connected with ires blades, he was not pleased to see chaos, he drew back and swung at chaos, chaos did not show a hint of care...he casually lifted his left arm and blocked the blade with his bracer, and pushed out, sending the blade flying down wards, as they proceeded down he threw back and let out an explosive aura, which caused the shadows to start to fade*
Ires shadows faded slightly, but not for long. His rage seemed to double. He feinted to the right but swung left as Chaos tried to block a shot that wasnt there. Chaos saw his mistake too late, but his agile nature allowed him to duck inthe nick of time. The blades lopped off a small piece of Chaoss hair. Orion leaned forward and brought both arms forward with tenacity. Both hands caught their opponents. Stepping through he swung hard. His signature move was about to be used again. Chaos, and Ire were swinging around like rag dolls as their heads neared each other at great speed and strength. Orions face showed nothing of the man they all knew. He was enraged beyond his control. He saw only enemies in a blood red tint. His shirt had been torn off when Chaos entered the fight. Orions barrel chest stood out as the muscles rippled pulled taught under his skin. His arms swung through the air. It seemed that it was all over now. Orion strength had increased ten fold. Now even Xaviers voice couldnt be heard anymore. There was no controlling him now. If anything could save them all it would be unconsciousness, but trying to get near the three of them in order to do it was impossible. The bodies of Chaos and Ire were now only feet apart.
*tricity saw the flash of gorgon's power shoot over her shoulder as the dagger's blunt end hit her. she then heard charles in her mind.* xavier: "orion is not himself tricity! be careful!" *she turned around to face the other three, but her ora did not reach far enough to see them. gorgon seemed to hiss at her and tricity turned her attention back to her.* what are you doing here?!
Gorgon does not reply except to hiss loudly, and tries again to stone Tricity, lashing out with her claws this time as well, trying to lacerate Tricity's stomach.
*he was completly calm as orion went to smash there heads togather, with a brief exhale, chaos threw his arms out just inches from ire, the glow had expanded and thrusted the two away, breaking orions grip and sending them all off, as chaos was repelled he smiled and landed on his feet.......the aura was making him stronger, smarter and more agile..........he was unsure how long it would last*
Ire lands on a tree limb athletically and launches himself at Orion again. It seemed all three had a blood lust that could only be quenched by each others blood. Frustrated that his move didnt work Orion roared in anger and only saw Ire just in time to do something about his attack. Ire slashed with both blades, but Orions arm was longer than Ires. Ire recieved a full fledged shot from the giant directly to his torso. Again he went flying but this time he had managed to do some damage. The tips of his blades had snarled their way across Orions face leaving slices across both eyes. The eyes themselves were untouched but the rest of Orions face was beginning to cover with blood. The giant howled out in pain as he covered his eyes quickly. Realizing that they were unharmed his anger rose back to its full height. ANother roar issued its way from his mouth and he plunged his fist deep into the earth and let loose a blast of chaos knock Ire and Chaos to the ground while the hulking form of Orion stood to its full height again.
*tricity released the lightning from inside her at the same time gorgon had flashed her stoning power at her. this made gorgon stumble, her aim hitting the ground and missing tricity. as she looked at gorgon again, tricity noticed that gorgon wouldnt reply to anything she would say and seemed like she just wanted to kill tricity. tricity conjured a white ball in her hand, which grew very fast now that her power was enhance and threw it at gorgon.*
*the power from the blast and knocked chaos down, however we was quick to get back to his feet, he charged a ball of chaos and rushed twords orion,.....ire rushed at chaos....thrusting his dagger at chaos, chaos blocked it upward opening up ire, chaos slashed down, and spun around with a kick to ires now injured torso(the cut was however not deep), he turned and rushed towords orion, the giant thrusted his blade into chaos's chest......the chaos and aura had merged with chaos and the body turned to shadow and vanished.......chaos emerged behind orion, and in a breif instance had the advantage* "You Missed"
Sensing Chaos behind him Orion dove forward. Ire used this chance to strike again. Slicing upward he intended on slicing through Orions skull with one clean swipe. Orion wasnt stupid contrary to popular belief. He thrust he blade parallel to the ground in front of him blocking the blow. Chaos's blade ripped through Orions jeans and slicing into his leg flesh. Orions dive finished in a roll to his feet. The injured leg started to give way but he forced it to function. Conjuring up another ball of chaos while rolling he shot this one at CHaos ridding him of all abilities. Ire again struck out but this time with shadow untis toward Orion. Orion was gettin pummeled from every angle. He summoned Order and let loosse a blast dispersing all shadow demons. Ire was now taking advantage of the situation again but this time at Chaos. Meanwhile Orion was using Order to heal his injured leg. He looked down he could see his leg bone. It wasnt cut but visible. Anger again boiled out of him. However he stayed and healed his wound. For the time being.
*the blast had drained everything from chaos, he hadnt expected that, but before he could focus, ire and charged back at him and was intent on giving him some pay back.....chaos gasped as ire had slashed away at him......not going deep but inflicting paralyzing cuts on his legs and arms.....chaos dropped his blade as ire wound back for the kill*
*tricity turned her attention to the other men as gorgon was shot backward, seemingly unconscious. she jogged over using her ora to light the way. as she reached the battle, tricity saw ire about to strike at chaos.* IRE STOP!! *ire looked at tricity for a moment and then disappeared in the darkness. she looked at chaos who lay there hurt and then heard ire scream as he came at orion.* ORION!! *she dove in front of the strike, using a ball of electricity in her hand as a shield. the two held one another at bay for a moment, but were sent backward, his blade stabbing her in the shoulder, and he receiving a small shock. tricity tumbled to the ground, next to orion as he saw what happened.*
Orion's eyes had caught the white light fall across his vision. He looked and saw that it was Tricity who had been slain. A rage like none other had filled his heart. He had been starting to come around again but this made that impossible now. An earsplitting animal like roar sounded over the yard as Orion's body seemed to grow. This caused Ire to stop in midstrike and turn to watch. Orion seemed to get bigger and the flames shot higher, the wind howled louder and the very ground started to crumble. Ire was already on working on his retaliation and let loose his own demons. So much darker were the grounds now that Ire was sure that noone could see. His ferver vision allowed him excellent vision. He quickly made his way around behind the bellowing giant. Ire knew if he didnt end this, it would end him. Lunging he buried his blade deep into Orions back. The tip just jutted out Orions right side. The great beast fell with a thud to the ground. Ire stood watching. Ire waited for the winds to subside and the flames to die out. But they didnt. His eyes opened wide in disbelief as the giant arose from the ground once again. With speed Ire didnt know he had Orion grasped Ires throat and began a crunching death grip on it. Another earsplitting roar belted from the man's throat. Ire had one last chance. He swung his last remaining blade hard at Orion's throat. Things looked bad now. Orion cruching Ires throat, Ire cutting Orions throat and Tricity stabbed in the shoulder bleeding all over the ground. Gorgon out cold somewhere along with Chaos, and Zephyr. Neither of these menaces would be stoppable if allowed to run rampant. Xavier couldn't reach that far into Orion, and Ire was so guarded against others that Xavier would have to take some time before he could get into Ires mind. Orion's fist was miliseconds away from killing Ire, and Ires blade was the same from nearly severing Orions beastly neck.
*it wasn't supposed to end like this...tricity's eyes opened for a second and saw that orion had clutched ire in his grasp and the deep wounds orion had also sustained. this was all wrong...they were supposed to get married and she might be pregnant. with the last bit of lightning in her, tricity released the surge into the ground as she grasped the grass in her hand. it rocked the ground violently, causing orion to drop ire, but also releasing orion from from ire's blade. the two fell to the ground and out of site as tricity's head fell to the grass. she turned her head to the side and saw the injury she sustained, the blood pouring out. tricity saw orion lying next to her as well and grabbed his hand...it wasn't supposed to end like this.*
