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's face melted as she saw what Mett offered. Her mouth gaped. This couldn't be real. Not Kaz. Syn sure, but Kaz couldn't have done this. No way. No way.
"I...I..." Nicki tried to form words as she fell back in her chair. "I...I know him...we've um...we've been..." Nicki mumbled, standing from her chair and pushing the cookies towards the middle of the table. "Enjoy the cookies" she muttered and left the kitchen in a hurry.

Michael remained silent as the exchange between Mettaliar took place. He wasn’t exactly sure what was going on, as half of what took place was being picked up by Nicki’s power. Then Nicki shoved the cookies towards them and left, fast. Much as he wanted to go after he, check she was alright, from what he’d gathered Mettaliar was the one worse off.
“Ok, seeing as I’m not psychic can you fill me in on what happened?” He had gotten a vague idea that, something about Mettaliar being captured by some guy called Kaz, who Nicki seemed to know.

Mettaliar didn't stir much when Nicki suddenly jumped up. He didn't try to stop her either; he just let her go and run off. He then turned to Michael and sighed.
"Well, a few days ago I was kidnapped and put through this experiment. Apprently," he then nodded his head outward toward the hallway, referring to Nicki, "she knows the people behind all of it. Strange, I didn't know she knew them. Must be kind of hard on her to see people she knows suddenly seem like bad people."

Michael felt bad for Nicki, as it must suck to have people you know turn out to be terrible people. “Yeah, that’s got to be tough for her. But what about you? Are you alright? Do you need medical help or what?”
If he’d been captured and experimented on Mettaliar was probably not in top form. He wanted to see if Mettaliar was alright before he went to try and find Nicki to see if she was ok.

Mettaliar chuckled. "Yeah I'm alright don't worry about me. Just got my gash opened up and-"
He cut himself off. Why did he have to release THAT information all of a sudden? He had to remember to not be too open about things like that. He lowered his head slightly and tried to save himself.

“Well it’s good to know that you’re alright. So do you have any idea what they wanted with you?” Michael reckoned if they did experiments the probably didn’t capture Mettaliar randomly.
Experiments on mutants, he wondered what would possess someone to do that. After all, mutants are people too.

"I have no clue. I was just in a pizza shop when this girl acted all nice and cute then tazed me. No matter. What's done is done. I'm more worried about how Nicki is connected to all of this rather than myself really." He tried to act polite. It's not that he really wanted to get off the subject. He just felt there were more people involved that needed to be worried about rather than himself.
Ted wondered into the kitchen, once again looking for food. "Hi Micheal!" Ted then spotted the other guy, "Oh hi, i don't beleive we've met. I'm Ted." Without wasting any more time, Ted headed for the fridge, and pulled out a burger. "You guys want anything whilst I'm here?" He slipped the burger into the microwave and hit the timer, then waited for it to be done.

“Hi Ted,” Michael said as he saw the guy come in and make a b-line for the fridge, “You’re still hungry I see, try and leave some for the rest of the residents.” He laughed at Ted’s voracious appetite and shook his head to show him that he didn’t want anything.
Michael looked over at the guy with blue hair and smiled. “Hi, the names Michael ad I’m not bad. What about yourself, have you been here long?”

Mettaliar looked behind him and waved to the others. "Hi." he said gently. He leaned his arm against the table and watched as the others went and made more food. He quickly finished up his Mountain Dew and threw it into the recycling bin.
Ted nodded at the new guy to enter the kitchen, "Hi, I'm Ted, and I'm fine, if a little hungry." As if on cue, the microwave pinged, and Ted wasted ittle time in retrieving his burger. He sat down at the table and munched away happily, glad to be eating something. "So, what powers do you guys have? I know Michael is invincible, but what about you guys? And I have to say that I am loving the hair." Ted motioned towards Zelek's hair with his burger before taking another bite out of it. (The burger, not Zelek's hair )

“Yeah, invincibility is pretty neat,” said Michael with a grin, “Though you’re power sounds pretty awesome as well. So can you make any change stuff into other stuff? Like lead into gold or whatever it is that alchemists kept trying to do?”
The more people he met at this place the more amazing powers he found. It seemed that most had cool powers, like Nicki, Mettaliar and Zelek. Though a few like Ted have powers that really suck.

Ted mood darkened slightly as Zelek asked him about his powers. "Ah. Well, mine aren't all tat much fun. Basically, I'm like a werewolf, as in when I'm put under the right conditions I transform into some sort of beast. I lose all of my mind when that happens, I have no control over what it does and no memory of it after I change back. Except, I don't transform through moonlight. Instead, I transform when I suffer pain. Don't worry, it's not like a pin prick will set it off, but once, when I was running down the street, I tripped and banged my head on a wall. I thought i just fell unconscious, but then I realised that I had woken up in a completly different part of town. I guessed that i had transformed, and I later saw on TV that the "werewolf" had been prowling the streets again. You guys probably saw that, if they have TVs here. It wasn't long ago." Ted realised that he had been talking about himself quite a lot, possibly too much, and decided to change the subject off of his powers. "So, X-ray vision, huh? Does that just mean you essentially have an x-ray machine behind your eyeballs that allows you to see through some not very dense things but not in colour, or can you change what you can see through?"

“Now that is awesome,” said Michael when Zelek had finished his little display. He listened to Zelek talking about the downsides of his X-ray vision. He could understand how he felt, he’d feel the same way if he looked at a girl and saw everything.
“Well at least you got you’re sight under control now,” he said, “I guess you must be pretty good at finding stuff, after all, hiding something under stuff wont work. If I ever lose something I’ll give you a call.”

Ted's mood suddenly brightened. "Armour? Now that would be cool. You could really do that? Because that would be useful until even after I've got my powers under control." Ted listened as Zelek described his x-ray vision, and felt a little sorry for him. "That blows, must be quite the distraction during conversation." Ted laughed, "So how much of that stuff are you making?" Ted motioned toward Zelek's food, eager to try new foods.
