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.

Emerald walked into the unocuppied room that would soon become hers and smiled broadly. It had been a while since she had an actual room instead of a cell in that god forsaken lab. It made her feel normal, well except for the tail of course.
She began unloading her stuff from the bag she brought, She paused for a moment when she stumbled upon her stuffed lion. She grinned sadly at it, hugging it tightly to her chest, it sure did bring back memories for her.

Daria shook her head. "No, I'm fine." She placed her hand on the bed and it faded from sight, rematerializing beside the window.
The dresser dissappeared at her touch as well and reappeared near the door of the closet. She surveyed her work then turned to the girl. There was still the desk.
"Where do you want the desk?" she asked.
"By the way, you're never too old for stuffed animals." The lion's tail was hanging low and could be seen.
"Woa....." Emerald's mouth was agape for a moment before she had conquered her awe to talk. "How did you do that?" Emerald asked, eyes gleaming with curiosity.
She heard Daria mention the thing about the stuffed animal and she grinned sheepishly. She brought the stuffy to her chest a hugged it happily. "When I hug this lion I think about my sisters and about the carnival we went to...and the fact that I found my fear of clowns there." Emerald shuddered at the mention of clowns.

Daria smiled. "Clowns? I can't say I like them but I find them more irritating than scary." She grinned.
"teleportation. Has nothing to do with being a cat but its there." she said. "If try hard enough I can do it without touching it but that takes more work."
"I still don't like clowns, when I see one I either attack it or forget to move." Emerald stated in a serious tone.
"Your teleportation powers are really cool, you can move things without even having to get up! Oh and as for were I want the desk...anywere as long as i can see you teleport things again." Emerald grinned, tail wagging back and forth.

Daria laughed, and just for kicks, she teleported the desk without touching it. She moved it against the wall beside the bed. then she sat down, a bit tired. The Stone in her back seemd to send cold chills up her back and her spine seemed to beat with her heart. The whole process was painful for a minute but Daria bit her lip until it all subsided.
"There you go. The room is all balanced out now." she smiled.
Emerald noticed her friend's sudden exaustion and quirked a brow. It has to have something to do with her powers Emerald thought to herself but despite her thoughts she looked at Daria with concern.
For no apparant reason Emerald leapt on the bed stuffed animal tight in hand. She curled up in a tight ball and layed her head on the pillow. She hadnt been in a bed in a long time, in felt so warm and safe. At the same moment however a grim memory and as hard as she tried to shake it she could not.
A 7 year old Emerald laid trembling on a pile of hay in a dark cell. There was mold growing on the walls and the floor was wet and slick. The young girl got up and attempted to walk towards the door when a shadow darkened its doorway.
"Going somewere Oceanwolf?" A voice asked as it apporached the trembling child. "Were you going to try to escape my dear child? Well WERE YOU?" The shadow was grabbed Emerald roughly by the shoulders and slammed her into the wall.
"No master Fusionist!" Emerald exclaimed, shaking madly. "I was just gonna ask you if I could have a bed...."
"My dear child a monster like you doesnt need to bed. It needs to stay in its Damn place!" He snarled slamming her into the wall again before throwing her in the pile of hay.
Emerald crawled over into a warm spot in the hay and began trembling from the cold and from fear of what would happen to her next.
Emerald gave a wolf like whine as she curled up in a tight ball in wolf form. Why did she have to get these backflashes...why couldnt she just forget?
Emerald jerked out of the backflash when Daria began scratching behind her ears, It felt really good to have someone do that. "Yea Im fine." Emerald lied, instantly relaxing when Daia kept scratching behind her ear. She could stay like this all day if she wanted to.
"Not really, what happened a few minutes ago has been happening ever since I escaped the labs.." Emerald covered her mouth with her paws instantly, knowing she had said to much and her new friend would inquire more.
The wolf girl kept relaxed as Daria pet her, it was the one thing keeping her from bolting out the window. "Fusion corp, A organization set out for complete and total control of mutants everywere. I was kidnapped when I was six and was taken to that god forsaken place. I escaped from the constant experimentation and torcher two months ago." Emerald sighed, feeling a wieght lift from her shoulders.
