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 growled in her sleep, lashing back and forth menacingly. Normally one would think this is because of a bad dream some kind of terrible nightmare but in Emeralds case it was...
Clowns.
"Evil clowns with polka dot shoes." The wolf girl muttered in her sleep before settling down.
Johnny couldn't help but smirk at that, and he touched her forehead, using his power to brush unpleasant thoughts out of her dreams. Sick dreams could be... odd.
Emerald flinched for a moment for she was about to be chassed by evil clowns before all bad thoughts where chassed away. Her body relaxed immediatly and her tail began wagging back and forth a bit in her sleep.
Sarah looked at Johnny questioningly. "Why are you here?"
"Because she's sick. And since she's one of the last people who doesn't seem to think I'm a monster, I'd like to make sure she's all right," he said, giving Sarah a look that said he was disappointed that she wasn't among those numbers.
Johnny caught that thought just as easily as Mike would have. "Oh please, Sarah. When have I ever tried to hurt anyone? BESIDES Mike. He deserves it," he asked.
"He does not!" Sarah shouted, suddenly angry. "You're just jealous, because he-"
"Why the hell should I be jealous of him?" Johnny shouted back. "Except that he's managed to convince everyone that I'm as bad as he is, and that he can do no wrong?"
"I know what you did to Daria!"
"Blame her loving boyfriend," Johnny said, waving a hand dismissively. "I didn't lie to her one bit, I just showed her exactly what he can do, power-hungry boy he is."
Hearing the sudden noise in the room Emerald shifted in her sleep slightly, letting out a small bark. She didnt wake up from her feverish slumber but it would seem that she sensed the tense ness in the room.
Sarah glanced over at Emerald, hoping that the older girl wasnt going to wake up anytime soon with Johnny there. "Mike isnt Power Hungry!"
Johnny just laughed. "Right, I almost believed you. My brother the X-Man, not power-hungry. Let's start taking the count... he's rich, he's powerful, and he can make people do what he wants... and somehow he hasn't gotten in trouble for anything. At all."
"And somehow, he's managed to completely do away with our parents. You're gone from them too, right here where he wants you, and if he had his way I'd probably be locked up here somewhere. No, he isn't dominating or anything."
"But-But.." Sarah stuttered trying to make sense out of the whole thing.
Emerald morphed into her wolf form in her sleep, tail wagging back and forth. She barked, playfully as her tail wagged back and forth before she morphed back into her human form. In her dream she was chassing after a butterfly, trying desperately to catch it. The only thing was that in Her dream she was not yet a mutant but merely a six year old child running after the butterfly.
"But I'm a monster, so what I say doesn't count. Got it. Have fun, make sure she gets better," John said. "I don't want to argue with this more, or we're going to end up waking her up."
With that, he breezed right past her, and was gone.
Sarah picked up the tray and gave them a small smile. "Im fine..could you guys wake emmy up?"
Ruby walked over to her older sister before letting out a small fox like whine. A wolves snout could be seen poking out of the covers and sniffing Ruby's face before Emerald emerged from under the covers in wolf form. She morphed into her human form and looked at everyone complacently. "What's going on."
"Yea soup!" Emerald cheered weekly, smiling as Sarah brough the trey to her. She grinned at the team of children before taking a spoonfull of soup. She sucked it down eagerly and allowed herself to begin to devor the whole thing.
Maybe the other girls couldn't see, but Emmy could. John sat in the corner.
In fact, Ruby could not see, and Sarah and Kitty would only see if they had their attention brought to it and used their powers to cut through the twist he'd put on their mind to make it seem like the corner was empty. He gave Emmy a small smile and put a finger in front of his mouth in a shushing gesture.
