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.

Mettaliar leaned against the counter chugged the Mountain Dew in on gulp. He tossed the can into the recycling bin and just before he was able to get another one a bowl of cereal was shoved in his face. He took hold of it and looked into it while listening to the others joke around.
"Aww... you didn't have to... thank you." he said with a smile. He set the bowl down, grabbed another can, and began to eat at the counter. He didn't feel like walking back to the table.

"Think nothing of it" Nicki smiled as she slid the cookies into the oven. "And soon there will be cookies. So eat."
With Mett at the counter and the cookies in the over, Nicki went over to the table, sitting next to Michael. "All right gents, so while everything cooks, tell me about yourselves. What do you like to do? I know Michael likes to save little girls from cars but that's about it. Hobbies?" she asked, looking from boy to boy.

Michael grinned when Nicki mentioned his little rescue. While he didn’t like to personally promote himself, he liked it when others did. “Hobbies, hmm… I spent a lot of time building models when I was younger. Like model tanks or airplanes.”
As he couldn’t do contact sports he’d done model building instead from about the age of eight when his parents bought him a model airplane to assemble. His first attempt hadn’t gone so well. More of the plan had ended up on him than together, but it was good fun and his mutation meant his dad could just prise the bits off without worrying that he might get hurt.

As Mettaliar ate the cereal he brushed his hair away from his mouth. He nodded his head as Michael talked about model planes. He used to build them himself a bit, yet not too often. He took another bite and drank some Mountain Dew. Once he finished he set his bowl into the sink and remained leaning on the counter.
"Nice. Yeah I remember building those. Fun times. Fun times indeed." He nodded his head and thought back a bit before coming back. "Uh, hmm. My only real hobby is music, mostly rock. I used to sing in a band... but because of certain... issues... I decided to come here." He put on a smile.

Nicki smiled. She liked finding out information about people, expecially people whom she planned to be around for a while. Nicki was about to ask something whent he buzzer on the oven went off. She hopped to her feet, excited.
"Yay, cookies" she smiled and walked over to the oven, taking them out and putting them down on the counter. She grabbed a spatchula and started piling them on a plate before going to the fridge and grabbing some milk. She grabbed three glasses, set one down in front of Mett and put the other two on the table.
"What are you guys waiting for?" she looked at both of them, confused.

“The words ‘dig in’.” said Michael with a grin as he grabbed a cookie and a glass. Taking a bite his face spread in a happy grin. “Mmm… ‘dese ‘re ‘ood.” He said around a mouthful of cookie as he took another bite.
After a quick drink of milk to wash it down he asked Nicki, “So what about you then Nicki? Asides from questioning everyone you meet and baking some awesome cookies what are your hobbies?”

Mettaliar walked over, jokingly in a trance, over to the cookies. He took one and decided to sit down with the other two at the table, bringing his glass with him. He sort of scooted away from them out of habit but still kept it looking as if he was friendly. He took a bite and smiled, still in a joking trance, at the taste of the cookies.
"Mmmm...... good." he smiled before catching himself and sort of blushed. "Oh uh, and thank you guys again. Especially for the cookies." he smiled again.

Nicki smiled happily as both boys enjoyed the cookies. She took one herself, dipped it in the milk and took a bite. They were a good batch.
"Basically I like just asking never-ending questions" she smiled at Michael and poked him in the stomach slightly. "But mostly I read. I like softball too" she nodded and bit into the cookie again. "I'm a rather boring person" she smiled happily.
Nicki looked over at Mett. Something was wrong. He was distancing himself from others, his mind was cloudy. She originally thought that the majority of this was from hunger or something, but there was definitely something going on. She furrowed her brow a little but went back to dipping the cookie in milk.

“Well I wouldn’t consider being a regular fountain of knowledge boring,” said Michael, polishing off his first cookie and taking another. “And softball sounds like fun, though I’ve never played. I’ve not played any sport where an injury is likely to occur, which is most of them.”
Taking a bite out of his cookie he looked over at Mettaliar, “Sorry, I’m still kind of new here, what’s your power, if you don’t mind me asking that is.” He’d only just realised that some people might not want to share their powers. Not everyone’s were as fun as his and Nicki’s, Ted’s was a prime example of that.

Mettaliar had finished his cookie and began to take another before noticing that Nicki, the girl, was looking at him in a way. A shiver went down his back out of shyness and questions running through his mind asking about what she was thinking and why she looked at him. He tried to think nothing of it and went back to eating the next cookie.
The he overheard Michael asking him about his mutation. Ooh, so they are interested. he thought to himself. When heard him ask if he minded he chuckled a bit and shook his head.
"No, I don't mind at all. Well, it's kind of like matter alteration in some forms. Like alchemy, anime style." he tried to explain using Full Metal Alchemist as an example knowing that it might just confuse him more. Instead he just decided to show him. "Ok, here look at my hand." he politely said opening his palm. "Now, with a simple thought...." he paused as a block of wood formed in his hand suddenly. "That's not all. Here, watch." he said putting the wood down and opened his palm again. "Now to assure you, I am peaceful. Do not freak out." he said, as the knife began to form in his hand just like the wood did. As soon as the knife was complete he quickly kept in there in his hand, blushing a bit at the fact that they might get scared. He quickly closed the knife and put it into his coat pocket. "That's all. Wood and metal being form out of something else. Now, if you don't mind, what are yours exactly." he asked looking up at the two of them.

Michael watched as Mettaliar made the wood and the knife. Due to his invulnerability he wasn’t worried about the fact that Mettaliar had made a weapon. “Now that is cool. As for my power, well if I can borrow the knife I’ll show you mine.”

"Wow, that's amazing! Way cool!" Nicki smiled, obviously impressed.
"I can absorb information, out of books and off of computers and off of people as well." Nicki smiled a little. "Oh, which brings me to the privacy issue I always inform people of. If you don't want me to know something about you, I suggest you push any of those thoughts to the back of your brain" she smiled happily, biting into her cookie again, finishing it up and grabbing another.
She grabbed a knife from the counter and handed it to Michael nonchalantly.

Mettaliar's eye widened a bit once Nicki explained her power. "Oh, ok. Well, I don't think there's anything really worth... hiding so to say." He gave with a chuckle, while also catching brushing down a bit more hair over his eye, which he though they would catch.
Hethen turned to Michael, who asked for the knife. He nodded and took out the knife with a little twirl and stuck it into the table in front of Michael. "This will be interesting I bet." he said aloud.

Picking up the knife he lay his hand down on the table with the fingers splayed and grinned at Mettaliar. “Now watch closely.” Raising the knife above his head he slammed it down right into the back of his hand.
The blade merely pushed his skin in a little bit. “I’m invincible. Here, have your knife back.” He said, holding it out to Mettaliar, handle first.

"I thought that would have broken the knife..." Nicki raised an eyebrow a little, then shrugged a bit and looked over to Mett. "Pretty cool huh?" she asked with a smile.
