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.

Abyss grinned at the young man. "I am game if you are. It sounds like a road trip is order then. Abyss hoped into the Jeep and started talking again, he wasn’t sure what had him so excited but it was nice to need something done and get it done, without any trouble. And this so far was working out with out a snag.
“I’ll start off at about twenty, let me know if I should speed up or slow down. I can open multiple voids so, we should be alright to get this don on the move. I hadn’t mentioned it yet, but if we run in to any opposition and your powers don’t really work on the offensive the guys back at the base insisted we take some guns. It was actually a funny conversation that I felt like a Russian overlord was playing mother hen. I gave up before I started laughing at him. Didn’t want to hurt his feelings or disrespect him in his own house.”
He glanced at Kai to make sure he was ready and then sped while he still could, they had to get to more crops before he had to slow back down. “If it doesn’t really work then we can just go back to the other method, let me know either way.” He stopped and fiddled with the radio station and then hit the cd button. Some Russian techno started blaring out of the speakers. “They tell me it’s a pro mutant mix, probably not subtle, but I don’t think we are quite subtle at this point.
Kai judged that his red friend seemed to enjoy the prospect of his suggestion, based on the wide grin that he bared, his eagerness to get to the next section of crops, and the loud Russian music they were now “jamming out” to. Though Kai didn’t always care for techno music, he appreciated the beat of this stuff and didn’t mind at all that he couldn’t understand a word that was coming through the medley of synthesized notes and rhythms.
It was good to know that the voids could keep up with their driving. He hadn’t wanted to assume that the other mutant could open up multiple voids- the physics of the entire situation was beyond his knowledge.
“Sounds like a plan to me. I have to admit that the offensive side of my powers typically works better in close range and against individual men. I’m afraid that I would not be able to do much at all against air attacks, though I could considerably slow down vehicles…”
Kai made a face. He didn’t particularly care to talk about his weaknesses. However, the next was important to note, “I may not be extremely aware of my surroundings once we get started again.” At least the old Kai couldn’t really multitask very well, but the new Kai? This powerful, glowing Kai? He wasn’t sure of the level of concentration required for this. Actually, absorbing plants was becoming so natural a feeling, but it was better to err on the safe side and have Abyss keep a sharp eye out for danger. So far they had escaped notice, but as Abyss pointed out, they weren’t exactly being subtle. Someone was bound to notice the dead zone sooner or later.
“I am a close combat guy myself, though I wouldn’t worry too much about the government the last show we gave them should be enough to make them turn around and run once they see me. I am sure you heard about Moscow?” He grimaced a moment to himself. “Well regardless, feel free to zone out as much as you need to, I will keep distance between us and them until you are with me again and we can go from there.”
He slowed to a school zone speed and he had to constantly let off of the gas, his foot was not accustomed to driving slowly. His voids followed along behind the car looking like they were playing a black hole version of leap frog. He reached back with one hand and grabbed the back side of an AK-66 it was a newer model and he liked the black with red accents, when he actually had to go grab a few guns he was almost hard to stop. Just in case after all. He placed the gun barrel down between him and the door. It was only a matter of time, but then again maybe it would be the morning before they caught up.
He grinned to himself as they wrecked some passive havok.
