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.

It had been a long day and Nika's poor feet were sore and her legs were tired form walking all day long. Finally she had found her destination however. This would hopefully be a better place for her than that nast facility she was in just recently.
Looking over the mansion she smiled as it seemed like there was a warm and welcoming presence about the place. Nika walked up to the front gate and called out.
Dominic had already been on the grounds, wrestling with his younger brother, Joey. They were goofing around when he heard the faint calls of someone coming from the gates. Not a moment after, did Johnathon radio him about the visitor. He grabbed for the walkie and said, "Yea, I see her, man. I'm headin' over."
Joey ran alongside Dominic as the two approached the gate. He gave a wave and released the lock, pulling the heavy doors open to let her in. "Hi, how ya doin'? My name is Wire or Dominic...doesn't matter. What can I do for you?"
"I'm Joey!!" the little boy cried out, giving a wave and looking the visitor from head to toe. Dominic put him in a headlock, smiling.
Without much of a wait a pair of rough housing boys showed up and opened the gate. Nika looked the pair over and smiled when one put the other in a wrestling style head lock. She smiled at the two first because their playfulness which touched to her playful side, and secondly because they seemed so friendly.
"Your ears are awesome!" Joey exclaimed, Dominic immediately giving him a smack to the back of the head.
"Go inside, dummy." Joey stuck his tongue out at his big brother and ran for the mansion as fast as he possibly could. Dominic turned back around to the girl. "Sorry bout that. I gotta work on his manners. So, Nika... You plan on staying here or...?"
Nika felt her cheeks get a little warm when Joey commented on her ears. Even though she was used to having them she didn't really expect for someone to point them out like that. She was glad he didn' say anything about her tail.
Her attention was grabbed back to the direction of Dominic when he asked if she was going to stay. "Well, I was hoping that I could stay here. I've heard good things about this place and it has to be better than any other place I've been."
"This place is great for people like us. I gotta ask you a few questions though. Manditory stuff to make sure we keep all of the residents here at the mansion safe," he began explaining, leading her toward the mansion. "Some mutations are more obvious than others as I can tell from your outter appearance, but I never want to assume anything anymore. So, would you mind explaining everything you know about your mutation? Is it harmful to you or anyone else?"
Dominic lead her towards the mansion, and as he did so Nika looked around and admired everything she saw. While they walked he explained that they like to know what everyone's abilities are and that made sense to her. He was doing a great job if making her feel welcome.
"Well, like you said some things are obvious." As she stated her sentence she flicked her tail out to her side and twitched her ears. "I was born looking this way so it's a part of me and it doesn't get out of control. I do have another ability though, but I assure you it doesn't hurt anyone. Not even myself although it does make me very tired."
She paused for a moment as she thought of how to explain her ability. "You know how you kind of feel like you have extra energy when your adrenalie kicks in? Well, my adrenaline is super powered and enables me to be stronger and faster but only for short periods of time. The rest of the time I rely on my natural abilities." She watched Dominic's face as she explained all this and made sure he understood that she wasn't any kidn of threat.
Wire nodded and smiled. "Well, seems like you are a good candidate. Welcome to Xavier's School. The Headmistress here is named Delilah Tipper. You can call her Tricity or Miss Tipper; she doesn't really care which. She would've been the one greeting you, but she just had a baby, so she's in the infirmary resting. You'll meet her soon, no doubt."
They had reached the mansion doors and Dominic pulled them open, ushering her inside. "This is the main hall," he began, grabbing a manila folder. "This is the new resident pack. It has some papers in there for you to sign, oh and a map cause this place can get a bit confusing. If you get lost, just ask any of the dozens of kids running around here. You're bound to run into someone eventually. It's ten times quieter at night when all the younger ones are asleep." He pointed down the hall and toward the stairs. "The dorms are upstairs on the second floor. Girls are on the right, boys on the left, older adults in the middle. The middle also has the infirmary. You're welcome to eat whenever you like, but we have certain breakfast, lunch, and dinner times. Are you in high school?"
Once they got inside the mansion Dominic spat out a bunch of information. It almost made Nika's head want to spin, but she grasped most of it. The rest she could figure out or ask someone for assitance.
"Oh, well congrats to Miss Tipper. Was it a boy or girl?"
Just then Dominic enquired about Nika's schooling. "Actually, I've never been to a school. I guess you could say I was home schooled for awhile. I had a private teacher. Why do you ask?"
"We offer classes here so you can get your diploma and even some college courses, depending on what you might want to study. Don't worry about all that now. Just head upstairs and find a room for yourself. You should be able to find an empty one. I have to go and help fix dinner before they start a food fight in the kitchen. It was nice meeting you, Nika." He started running down the hall. "OH, don't forget to ask if you need anything!"
"Oh ok, Thank you for all your help Dominic. Thanks for letting me in also." She watched him head off to the kitchen then she looked aroudn the main hall a bit more. She admired the paintings and sculptures as she slowly made her way to the dorm rooms. She hoped to find an empty room. She wasn't sure about having a roommate just yet.

Nicki pulled on her ear lobe as she walked into the mansion. That nice guy, Jack, had let her in but he had to go run off and do something school related almost immediately. He told her to go upstairs to the second floor and find a room on the right...or was it the left? Nicki was sure she was going to end up standing in the hall and screaming if she didn't find someone soon.
And as if on cue, Nicki literally ran into a girl roughly her age. She actually kinda looked like Nicki: same height, same build but...the girl seemed to have cat ears. Nicki quickly looked for the headband that often accompanied those things and when she found none, she came to the conclusion they were most likely real.
"Um, hi" Nicki licked her lips absently mindedly. "Do uh...do you know where the girl's dorms are? I was kinda just told to um...find one" Nicki chuckled, still worried.
Nika started wasn't really looking where she was going and nearly ran in to another girl. She quickly stopped and looked up to see who she was facing. She other girl was almost like Nika. In fact, Nika thought that if she didn't have cat features people might confuse the two of them at first glance.
Nika smiled when the girl introduced herself and asked where the dorms were. "Hi Nicki, I'm Nika." Nika giggled to herself a little. She couldn't help it. Not only did they have similar height and build but their names were almost the same too. "Sorry, I was just thinking of how close our names sound the same and in a few ways we almost look a like." she smiled at Nicki hoping she didn't offend the girl. "I was just looking for the dorms myself. In fact I was just told I could have one of the rooms that no one else is in. If you'd like we could be roommies." again Nika smiled.

Nicki smiled brightly at Nika, laughing a bit herself.
"Yeah, absolutely. Similar name, similar looks" Nicki chuckled, looking over the girl again. "Um, you know...sides your ears and um..." Nicki quieted herself a little as she realized she might have been stepping on the girl's feelings. Nicki pulled a little harder on her earlobe.
"Um, yeah, being roomies sounds cool. So we just kinda pick on that isn't taken? First come, first serve kinda deal?"
A smile appeared on Nika's face when Nicki was pointing out her cat features but then got quiet as if she had said too much. "Don't worry Nicki. You havne't offended me."
She raised up her tail a bit and twitched her ears. "With the exception of my cat features we do appear similar." Nika stepped closer to Nicki and placed her right arm across Nicki's shoulder adn gave her a friendly hug. "No need to worry. i have a feeling we're gonna be good friends and roomies. OH! Speaking of which. I'm not sure if the rooms are first come first serve. I just happened to get lucky and find out there was an empty room from Daria. She's one of the people already living here. Oh, and she's a cat lady too." Nika's voice had alot of excitement in it as she spoke to Nicki.
"Do you wanna go with me to find the room or would you like to see Miss Tipper first? I was told that she's in charge here."
