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.

Mike laughed. "Well, you know that you can do it, so that's a start. And we know that you can teleport things as long as you touch them. So I guess just keep trying it and it'll work sooner or later."
"Hell, you should have seen me when I was teaching myself to fly. It was... well, let's just say that I could probably sell a video of it for a good profit."

Daria laughed. "But isn't flying the same as lifting yourself? And isn't lifting yourself like lifting an object.?" she asked replacing the cap on the mustard.
"Well yeah, but it's the whole 'control' thing that gave me trouble. It kind of psyches you out, being airborn... and I used to crash into trees. Besides, this is after I spent a looooong time trying to move things when I wanted them to, and to not make them move when I didn't want to."

"Yeah" Daria nodded slowly. She sometimes forgot how complicated his power was since he was so good at using it. "Still its soooo frustrating!" she said banging her head down on the table.
"I just got the hang of the whole teleporting thing-I remember when I used to get drained from teleporting a mile, or from taking something with me. I mean when it first started, I couldn't even teleport the clothes I was wearing. Then I used to teleport in dreams, so I had to learn how to get back. Thats how I figured out how to get to places from memories and pictures. I honestly thought I had the hang of everypart of my ability. I just hate having more stuff I can't control." she said refering to the frenzies.
"It'll come, baby. Just keep at it. You just learned you could do it... what, two days ago? You're good with your power, I'm sure it won't take you long."
"And if you keep me from going nuts, I'll keep you from going nuts?"
*Hairpin was sitting at the table, smiling mischeviously. All the while, she had carefully been using her telekinetic powers to slowely mess up Mike's hair, trying her best to conceal it with her telepathy. The job finished, she nudged Daria and pointed at Mike, before breaking out into a fit of giggles.*

Daria smiled slightly. Yeah, thats been the routine so far. But you can't just fix all of my mental problems Mike." she said trying to keep her tone from sounding harsh. "I mean, I know you mean well but..." she sighed and stood to get milk. As she poured herself a glass she found her words.
"Short tempers run in my family. I've accepted that. Eventually I have to learn how to get mine under control. On my own." she said taking a sip and taking her seat simultaneously. "Its just more important with the powers because I actually have the ability to send someone to the center of the earth, or claw their heart out if I'm incognizant.
Mike sighed. "I don't mean that I want to keep tweaking your mind, babe. I mean, yeah, I might do it every so often when it's urgent, but I don't want to fix things like that. I don't want to control you, and that's all I'd be doing if I did that."
He shrugged, "I just want to do the same think that you do... be there when you need me. I'm not arrogant enough to think that I can 'fix' you, for lack of a better way of saying it. I just want to help."

"See? I know that, I didn't want you to feel bad cuz I'm not mad at you. I know you're not trying to 'fix' me." she took a dep breath. "You know what its like to adjust to having people help you when you're so used to being shunned and uncared for." she explained, finally getting closer to what she meant.
"Having you so....dedicated is weird I guess. It also reminds me that you may just be the only family I have right now. My grandparents-I love them- haven't seen me since the mutation. I don't know how they'll react. I don't want to become dependant on you. What happens when you're not around to make people care less about my tail and ears? Or to wash away all my bad feelings? I've got to make sure I can still stand alone.-even though I don't have to right now."
She glanced at kitty, and then thought to the girl, jokingly. ~You are soooo bad. You leave my boyfriend's hair alone~
Mike looked over his shoulder at Kitty. "I saw that," he said, sticking his tongue out at her.
"If that's what you need, baby... I don't want to smother you. But just remember at the same time... you don't need to be alone." He fixed her eyes with a piercing look, "I'm not going anywhere unless you want me to. I might be all the family you have, but you're definitely all that I have."
*Hairpin grinned innocently and glanced at Mike's hair, which immediately went back to normal. Dafi, who had finished her meal, bounded over to Mike and lept onto his head, re-messing up his hair. This caused Hairpin to laugh out loud, so much so that she fell backwards in the seat, and lying on the floor was still in fits of giggles.*

Daria leaned over and kissed Mike I love you, honey, you're not smothering me. I'm just not used to being spoiled.
She moved back when the rabbit jumped onto Mike's head and laughed. "Oh, sorry, Dafi, I didn't know he was taken." she ran over to Kit-Kat and began to tickle her mercilessly. "I'm glad you think this is funny."
*Being tickled, Hairpin was laughing hard. Suddenly, her eyed gleamed, and her pigtails shot forth, and she began to tickle daria back. Dafi however, proceded to dance upon Mike's head.*
Mike just laughed. "Just warning everyone in the room... the tickle-bomb is going to go off in thirty seconds unless it's disarmed. Dafi is the only one safe. Thirty... twenty-nine... twenty-eight..." He crossed his arms and fixed them with a smirking stare.
