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.

"Yeah" Ruben called out from the bathroom. Stepping out into view of Setsuna with a smile, he was obviously happy to see her. "You've been gone a while! I've been getting to know the DocProf a bit... pretty much movied in ... you should see their infirmary it's like a five star hospital, just really small."
He said with a certain glint in his eyes as he appreached her and took the bags off her hands "Had fun shopping?"
*Kilala dropped all her stuff immediately in the room and began pacing back in forth.* "I was attacked in a parking lot while shopping. Two agents from uh...M.E.P.A. tried to jump me. Have you ever heard of them??" *She said very rushed, stopping the pacing to look at him for an answer.*
Putting the bags aside, Ruben's smile quickly disappeared. He stepped up to Setsuna, his hands slowly moving to her arms as he shook his head slightly. "No..."
Confused, he still had no idea what had happened with Setsuna but at least she was unharmed. "What happened? What did they want from you?" he asked as he moved her to sit on the bed.
"I dont know...but a government agency would have nothing to do with Mitsumoto." *She was speaking outloud, but not so much to Ruben since he would have no idea what she was talking about.* "I was thinking Tricity might know about whatever this M.E.P.A. agency. The kid working at the booth of the lot said they apparently did experiments on mutants."
Raising his eyebrows at the thought, Ruben walked to the bathroom and came back with a small cup of cold water, handing it over to Setsuna.
"Then Tricity would be the one to talk to, I suppose... I'm just glad you're alright..." he said, still unclear about MEPA or Setsuna's past.
"Go see her... I'll" Ruben looked at the bags around the room. "I'll see what I can do here to make this a little bit more like 'home.'" He said, giving Setsuna some space. She was obviously shaken up but she didn't seem the type to want comforting but rather retaliation of some sort... that wasn't Ruben's style, so he left it to her and began to unpack the bags...
"Oh, I'm sorry...I don't want to just drop this stuff and leave it all to you. I just want to figure out what's going on. I bought you a lot of clothes and such. Mostly buttoned down shirts. I hope they're ok..." *She stood up from the bed and quickly headed to the door. Before closing it she peeked her head back inside the room.* "I'll let you know what she says. See you in a little while."
Ruben took the articles of clothing out of the bags and folded them right away, placing them onto the bed. As Setsuna walked out to leave, he pulled out one of the button down shirts and smiled to himself. It seemed the dress shirts were already a staple for him.
Looking to her in the doorway, Ruben nodded. "Thnak you." he said simply before returning to the bags. He hoped to have them all put away for when Setsuna returned...
*Kilala pushed the door open of the room and saw Ruben had been to work. Most of the room was filled with empty bags as he had apparently put most of everything away.* "Nice...Ruben?? You here?" *She closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed.* "You in the bathroom?" *The door was slightly ajar with the light on, so she was hoping he was there.*
Ruben wet his har with a handful of water as he walked out into the bedroom. The water made his hair slick backwards just enough to keep it fully out of his eyes.
"Hey." He said simply with a smile as he walked over to Setsuna and crouched down before her. "You okay? Learn anything about your attackers?" he asked with eyes filled with concern and curiosity.
Slowly, he slipped Setsuna's shoes off and put her feet into his lap as he sat down on the floor cross legged. Looking up for her to explain her findings, he began to massage her feet theraputically, bringing about relaxation. Ruben couldn't help but smile as the expressions on the woman's face showed him it was clearly working its charms...
*Setsuna's anger and anxiousness slowed as Ruben rubbed her feet.* "Well, not so much about the attackers, personally. Tricity said that they are from MEPA, which is a government organization that's been kidnapping mutants off the street for experimentations. Something about a green stone that a crazed General Whitmore has been placing in mutants. When he surgically puts the stone in someone, he codes it in some way to make the mutant do a mission of his. I guess like mind control. But, the only way he can make them do anything is if he has a red stone that activates and controls the green stone. Apparently he doesn't have the red stone yet and the X-Men and her have to intercept him in getting it. I know, it's kinda confusing, but I was thinking that maybe we should help..." *Setsuna looked at Ruben to see his reaction.* "Well, I mean...you don't have to, but I'd like to help. They did try and kidnap me after all, the bastards."
Ruben's eyebrows raised at it all. He stood up and paced a few moments before speaking. "Help?" he asked taking a deep breath. "I'm a doctor... how could I help?" he said letting out a sigh as he sat on the bed next to Setsuna.
"And you're going to do whatever you want even if I don't want you in danger." he said, knowing he couldn't keep her from doing what she feels is right.
"What can I say... I'm a doctor... its my nature to want to help others." He looked to Setsuna. "If there are any mutants who need these control stones removed, I can... Like a bullet from a body, I can reach in grab it and remove it. But other than healing those who get hurt I don't know what else use I could be to this cause... I just don't ever want to see you on my table."
*She stood up and hugged Ruben.* "Don't worry. I'll be alright. Actually, I hear if you tamper with the stone that's been implanted in any mutant, it will cause more damage than good. Supposedly in Ohio a mutant tried to remove it and it blew up. These guys seem to be very effective and efficient at what they do. And, you would be a lot of help to the X-Men. I heard the stone is in the Metropolitan Art Museum and with your ghosting abilities, maybe you could retrieve the stone without tripping any alarms. Is that possible?"
"Wait no no no... now you're asking me to be a criminal... I mean even if I COULD, which I CAN'T, I wouldn't think its a good idea... I can only touch ... solid objects if they are INSIDE a living being, like bullets... but I'm sure the stone in the museum is behind some bars or glass or something... I couldn't even pick it up." Ruben said as his mind raced at the possibilities.
"But the mutants who've been tampering with their implants.. THAT I could help because I'm not actually, physically tampering I'm removing it from their energy... not taking a blade and trying to cut it out... its inside someone's energy, I can get it out... it's in a solid container... no can do." Ruben sighed. "I'm sorry."
*Kilala shook her head.* "Trust me, this Whitmore guy made sure NO ONE was taking those stones out." *She commented and there was a moment of silence.* "And we aren't actually STEALING or becoming criminals. We're trying to save the mutant race. Plus, I think whatever high being, if you believe in one, will forgive us..."
"Well then I guess I'm pretty useless to the cause... but I wish you good luck, Suna." he said as he turned away, heading towards the bathroom.
"If you need me, I'll be in the shower..." he said looking back for just a moment before disappearing into the small bathroom leaving the door slightly open as he began to get undressed to have his shower, hoping it would give him the small bit of comforting peace it always has in the past.
