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.

Damian was laying down on his bed, facing the ceiling. He had just settled into his room and everything looked good. He was lying on a bed with a blue duvet and a bunch of pillows. There was a washroom on the right, right after you enter the room and a large dresser against the wall. There was a couch and an armchair also. The closet had clothes in it and there was a crib in the corner for the baby. There were things all over the walls. Mirrors, Paintings, a Bulleting Board, and a T.V. Damian had baby toys all in a large toy chest and a bookshelf overflowing with books. He was in his provate space.
Damian was listening to some rock music coming from the stereo on the dresser when he heard a knock at the door. He stod up and walked to the door. He thought it would be another adult that lived in the centre hallway but was surprised to find a girl. He smiled and gestured for her to come in/
Deathstar knocked on the door hard, she heard of this new english professor but wanted to see him for herself. The guy must of didn't hear her so she turned away and proceeded to walk off, but out of the blue he opened the door and had Deathstar lost for words. This is odd but Deathstar was tongue twisted, "uh!, um!...I was..just walking by and thought I would meet um!," she looked down at her feet and smirked to herself being bashful. "The name is Layla, but call me Deathstar, and you are?" she rushed her words out her mouth as if she was frustrated with herself. wow everyone must have lied about this guy, he isn't what they he was she thought in her mind.
Damian smiled at the girl. She was a pretty little blond with nice eyes. He looked her in the eyes and spoke. "My name is Damian." he said in a kind, inviting voice. "Come on in Layla." he continued, using her first name because he wouldn't refer to her my that nickname. He realized that she was lost for words and kept smiling. He closed the door as she entered his room.
Damian had seen people walking around but not this girl, no, he'd remember her. He realized that the girl was probably only 16 though...10 years younger than him. He shrugged it off, age wasn't everything. He sat down in the armchair, leaving the couch for her. He flicked his wrist and the bed made it's self. He waited for her to speak.
Deathstar looked around suspiciously not wanting anyone to see her enter Damien's room, double checking the hallway she quickly enters his room. "So your the new professor, I would of never guessed" *she sits down on the couch* ""you don't look like the dorky-bookworm professor that I would have thought you to be......" she slowly speaks as she witness him using what appears to be his ability.
"who!, what!, how did you do that" she randomly asks him questions about his ability, "If you can do that, maybe you should come clean my room" she laughs outloud.
Damian smiled and looked at Deathstar. "Well, I'm not much of a nerd but I do so enjoy books. That is one of the reasons I am teaching here. The other reason is because the Headmistress and I go way back." he said, smiling at the old memories. Damian then levitated the couch a few feet off the ground and then replaced it where it was before. "Telekinesis." he said simply as if it were an easy question, which it was of course.
Damian then looked Layla in the eyes. "So, what can you do?" he asked in a curious tone.
Deathstar was in shock as he levitated the couch, she sat silent for a moment, she never met anyone with that kind of power. "I guess I won't be messing with you" she laughs again "so how far back do you and tricity go, I never really got that deep with her"
when he asked about her powers Deathstar stood up and slowly walked over toward him, "its better for me to show than to tell" she grabs his hand and places it on her palm, "This might hurt like a pinch" she absorbed a tiny amount of his ability, using telekinesis she points her finger toward the bookshelf lifts a book and levitates it toward him. "That didn't hurt did it, that wasn't my intentions" she gazes into his eyes and smiles as she speaks, she shrugs it off and turns her attention toward the book she brought him, "So whats this book about?" she asks silently.
Damian watched as Layla came and held his hand. He felt a little energy leave him and knew that she had absorbed some of his powers; he just hoped she wouldn't find the Acid Ones. Damian nodded as she levitated a book and took it from her mentally without even moving a muscle. It rotated to show her the black leather cover. Mutants: The Mystery.
Damian smiled. That book was about us mutants and our mutations. It was put together by a special group of specialists. Dr. Mortimer Brown, Geneticist. Professor Daniel Howley, Professor of Biology. Dr. Percy Fusionist, Scientist and Mutant Expert. And last but not least, Mr. Aleister Trotler, Mutant Psyciatrist. "The book was made by Mutant Experts and goes on to explain about the mutant gene, our physiology and how we work, our weaknesses, and our strengths. There is a list of dangerous/wanted mutants and a list of common powers." he said simply. He then touched Layla's arm, wanting to try something.
Deathstar reamined silent once again as Damien words took over her thoughts, she listened as he went on about the book she brought to him. Deathstar sat on the arm of the chair Damien was siiting on, looking over him as he spoke."Doesn't seem like something I would read, you got any mother goose books in here" she said jokingly. Damien motioned to touch Deathstar's arm, but she pulled her arm back quick, "What are you about to do?" she asks.
Damian saw her pull back and didn't move. He kept his hand where it was. "I would like to see if you could do something with my second mutation, although this one is very powerful and I rarely use it. You would have to keep it a secret." he said. He waited with his arm stretched out.
Deathstar peered at him for moment "I don't know about this, it may be painful for you , and I don't want that to happen" she said quietly and soft. "because of my mutation I did some awful things in the past, and I don't want to revisit them", she stared off to the wall as she spoke "What is this rare ability?, she asks with concern on her face.
"I can't say." Damian said simply. "I want to see if your body activates this mutation on it's own or if you control it. It could also increase your powers if used correctly." he said. He put his hand palm-up, so that she would only have to touch her palm with his. "I've probably been through worst pain than a quick power absorbtion." he added.
"Sorry I can't, I only use my abilities in battle" in middle of talking she notice a crib, "and who might this be?" she says while walking toward the crib, "nephew!, cousin! ...um let me guess your baby brother?" she looks down in the crib admiring the baby cuteness.
Damian shrugged off his denial. He then walked over to the crib. "This," he said while picking the baby boy up. "Is Aaron, my son." He bounced the giggling baby in his arms and the baby looked at Deathstar and smiled. That was odd, Aaron hated everyone except Damian and Tricity. Damian looked Deathstar in the eyes. "You wanna hold him?" he asked.
"your son!, umm!, I would have never thought someone like you to be a father" Deathstar was suprised by the news but that didn't stop her infactuation. "So!, Aaron huh!, he is little cutie like his fa!...." she cut herself off, she didn't want to reveal too much.
"You wanna hold him?" , Damien asked, "uh! I don't know I haven't held a baby ever since my sister was born, But if you insist" Deathstar pulls her arms up expecting to recieve the baby., "Would you mind if I ask you a personal question?" she says while still playing with little Aaron.
Damian watched as Aaron put his whole hand around one of Layla's fingers. He smiled and shook his head. "Ask away my dear." he said in a kind voice while making funny faces at Aaron. He loved his son with all his heart and knew he would grow up to be big and strong....like his father Damian then stood still as he mentally made the crib clean itself and the books organize. He was glad he had his powers.
