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.

Of course, at the mention of anything even having to do with their future marriage, Daria squealed and giggled and whispered something in Sarah's ear that made her giggle.
Sarah looked at Mike slyly. "Have fun!" she said and dragged Johnny out the room.
Daria's joy at the moment faded as Johnny's apology clouded her mind. She turned and began to get ready to shower and finish last minute packing.
Mike sighed as he packed up the few things he wasn't planning on buying fresh while they were gone. "Go ahead... I know you want to let me have it, so let me have it."

Daria herself only had a small bag.
"no, I don't want to yell at you." She said as she undressed and wrapped herself in a towel.
She ran the shower, the sound of water filling the room. I just don't get it Mike. After all that crap he did to you, and then to me and then to US? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you see or know something that I don't.
She emerged from the bathroom and stood before him, her emerald eyes searching his blue ones for something, anything, that would make her feel less betrayed. Mike KNEW what she'd felt like after Johnny's mental attack, how he'd gotten close to Emmy, how could she trust him?

Daria waited for a minute...and then nodded. "yes, about how he was the Heartwalker and he defeated the Dark one at the cost of almost losing himself to the darkness?" Her ears flicked as if she wasn't sure she remembered it all.
"Yeah, more or less," Mike said, nodding. "And to purify himself, Cassiel let himself be reborn, connected to a pure soul." He froze, as if searching for words. "It worked... since all of the darkness was gone after he merged with my soul before I was born, evidently. But the thing that I never could understand was... if he merged with my soul, why was he completely purified? Why wasn't the darkness just... I don't know, dilluted, since it could be spread over TWO souls instead of one? In short, WHERE did all the darkness go, if it left him and wasn't spread to me?"
"I started wondering after he showed up in town. He'd radiated evil when we beat the hell out of him in Ohio, but here, he was... well, like I said, more human, with nothing happening that should've caused it. Hell, I set that trap where he wouldn't be able to lie to Emmy, and he passed it with flying colors. I checked the mansion security cams, he actually came, checked on Emmy, and left without starting shit, and chased off some nasty shark-guy that came here to start trouble." He sighed, shaking his head. "The darkness was harder to fight when it was separated from its source, Cassiel, by distance. Then when I took my little nap for a couple months, Cassiel and I literally weren't in this world. He went completely APESHIT during that time... Like, unbelievably sadistic... but when I went to see him a few days ago, I couldn't find that in him, and trust me, I tried."

Daria stared at Mike knowing he was telling the truth. But it was such an easy way out for Johnny; 'it wasn't my fault, there was evil in me.'
The struggle was evident on Daria's face as she looked at Mike, still focusing on his eyes because she knew he was right and that he was sincere and that was it. Eventually her ears flattened against her head and she tried to block out all the sounds besides Mike's heartbeat as she leaned her head against his chest, tears pushing at her lids.
"Maybe," Mike thought to her, tilting her chin up until she was looking into his eyes, "It's time to just stop being angry. Being angry never did anything except make us miserable... why not try being happy instead?"

Daria wanted to play the victim since in truth she felt like she was often the attacker. But she didn't want to get into it at the moment nor did she want to get into what Sapphire had said to her when she visited. Instead she sniffled and dried her eyes. She put up her mental block, very gently because she didn't think Mike would fight it.
"That's easier said than done when it comes to that." she laughed. "But I'll sort it out in my head and when we get back I'll talk to Johnny." she promised, trying to make it make sense as to why Mike was blocked for a while.
"Anyways, we've got a flight in like two and a half hours and we need to shower, that should be almost enough time, right?" she laughed and pulled him into the bathroom.
Mike flopped, tired, onto the bed, a towel still wrapped around his waist. "That... Yeah, I feel clean now," he sighed, pulling Daria down next to him with a grin.

"Really, you don't feel dirty?" she kissed him. " I must be losing my touch." she laughed. and sighed, laying beside him and catching her breath and thoughts for a minute. Now her thoughts were of her plans for Mike's celebration which she made sure he didn't 'overhear'.
"You realize I could still hear your thoughts if I *really* wanted to push, right?" Mike teased, running a fingernail up her bare spine. "We have an hour... we don't have to rush yet, do we?"

Daria laughed. "well..our plane boards in half an hour and its a twenty minute drive to the airport..plus check in." she laughed and stood up.
"I'm excited! I can't wait to leave, so I say we go now!" she bounced around and grabbed her clothes, which was a baby doll dress so it would be lose from the bosom down, keeping the pressure off of her stomach, and a leggings to keep her warm on the plane.
"come on Mike!" she laughed and flashed at him with her camera.
