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.

Nicki looked over at Mett. He was freaking out. The problem with people getting freaked out was that also meant that they started literally thinking louder. Nicki could hear him clearer than before. She decided not to show any of this and just smiled, turning towards Michael.
"You don't know about the super-secret club that Xavier runs? And that Tricity follows in the footsteps with?" she asked, hinting more and more.

Michael shook his head, “Nope, sorry not a clue what you’re on about. Care to fill me in, or am I going to keep getting cryptic clues until I guess the right answer?” Smiling he took another bite of the cookie.
Nicki had really got his interest now. He wanted to know all he could about the group that Tricity ran, and Nicki seemed to have all the answers. Now if he could just get her to stop speaking in riddles and give him a straight answer…

Mettaliar noticed that Nicki had turned away from him and calmed down. He hoped he didn't scare her away, yet it was good to know that he could think a little bit. Plus his overall shyness kept him from saying anything or worrying. It wasn't that he didn't like girl, just some parts of him that lived in the past didn't trust what they thought. He shook it off and cracked his neck silently.
"Oh, trust me. In your time here, you'll figure it out." he decided to join in.

Nicki laughed, throwing a look to Mett before turning back to Michael. "Well...Mr. Michael, I'm only going to give you a bit of information cause suddenly I'm scared we're not supposed to spread it around" Nicki chuckled lightly, looking over at Mett for some kind of confirmation. "Ever heard of the Xmen?" she asked.

“X-men,” said Michael, his eyes lighting up, “Now them I have heard of.” And who hadn’t? The X-men were quite possibly the most famous mutants in the world. While they had many critics, a lot seemed to agree that they stood for what was right.
“Are you saying that the X-men are based here?” His mind was racing. Never mind joining the NYPD, the X-men were what he’d want to be a part of. Protecting people from dangerous mutants, or mutants from dangerous humans.

"Yeah man. Tricity runs the X-Men here. You would've found out sooner or later anyway. At least you know now." he said smiling. He nodded his head looked up a bit at Michael. "You'd be a good addition to them too. I can just see them just shooting you into a wall out of a cannon or something." he finished his thought, chuckling.

"Yeah, I think all the students want to be a part of the XMen...and if not...they just don't know they're based here yet" Nicki laughed a little, looking over to Mett.
"You'd be a good addiction too Mett...unless you're already involved or something. I mean, you've been here a year right? I don't know how long it usually takes..." Nicki trailed off when she thought she started to sound like an idiot and bit into her cookie.

Michael knew now that he just had to become an X-man. It was perfect, a chance to use his power to protect people, without the worry of being declined the job on grounds of being a mutant.
“Well I hope I’d be more use to them than a human cannonball. I’d make a pretty decent shield though, especially if I can work out how to become immovable again.” He began imagining him standing in front of Cyclops stopping bullets as he blasted over his shoulder.
(OOC: I’m assuming that Cyclops is well know enough for me to make this reference and that it’s a small enough reference to not count as breaking the forum rules)

Mettaliar laughed a bit and nodded his head. "Of course you'd serve more of a purpose than that. I just thought of the idea in a humorous way." He then turned his attention to Nicki while she trailed off.
"Me? Nope. I haven't really asked much. Been in my room the whole time almost, remember?" He then chuckled a bit. "Soon, maybe. Tanks for the compliment to." he thanked in a nice voice.

Nicki smiled sweetly and took a bite out of the cookie. "Yep, it would be fun to play the hero...and it's weird to think that people we know and go to school with and teach us are all member you know?" Nicki smiled, the thought obviously something she had contimplated a lot in her short time here.

"Yes. It would be fun to play the hero. I've always wanted to be one myself." he said with a chuckle. The chuckle sounded weak, though. Even Mettaliar could tell. Something wasn't right. The visions of what happened to him in the God knows where laboratory kept showing up and fading. Suddenly he just went into a daydream.
He saw them. Those captors of his. Kaz, Syn and the rest of them. He couldn't keep them away. The most vivid one was of when that guy Kaz searched his after he had woken up. While the other parts appeared as well, that one showed up quite frequently repeating in his mind.
Suddenly he snapped out of it. Realising what he thought about, he blushed. It wouldn't have been so bad if there wasn't a mind-reading girl sitting about a foot away from him. He took another bite out of the cookie.

Nicki smiled, happily thinking about playing the hero, maybe even being one down the line. It was a nice thing to think about.
Her happy contimplation was shattered. Kaz. Syn. Others that weren't named but that *she* knew...Abyss and the clones.
"Mett...how do you know them?" she asked, not even segwaying from anything. "What do you mean you were captured...?" Nicki asked, no joking in her voice.

Mettaliar sat there looking down trying to act like he didn't hear what she said. It was impossible, mostly cause of her question, "How do you know them?" It got to him since that meant she knew them. He decided to look up and at her like a child who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar and felt sorry.
"Not really much to explain. Just put them together and you've got my story. A few days ago it happened. Plus, how do you know them?" This was going to get a little interesting.

Nicki shook her head, trying to clear it out and focus on Mett's. She didn't like to poke into a head where she didn't belong but this had to do with her. This had to do with Kaz...
"So wait...Kaz...took you captive? What happened?" she asked, trying to get the answer from him in anyway.

Instead of actually responding to the question, he just went back to daydreaming. He remembered everything. Syn taking him captive, Kaz searching him, them intimidating him and the other captives. Everything was remembered, with him shuddering a bit at parts. Then he came back to reality and just stared in between Nicki and Michael and just opened his mouth.
"Answer your question? Now what about answering mine?"
