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.

"Computer, may you please simulate a sparring partner please." Mettaliar did some final practice kicks and then glared over at the robotic hologram coming towards him. He held his ground looking at the hologram as it threw the first punch. Mettaliar easily ducked under it and came down and swept his legs under the robot's and took it down. Mettaliar then rose to the same position as before. That was easy, I want a challenge. "Computer, raise the difficulty please." The robot got back up and went at Mettaliar. He leap-frogged over the robot than stepping side kick it in the back. Once the robot turned around it lunged at him again. This time Mettaliar took the robots arm and shoulder tossed him onto the ground. Mettaliar got back into his standing position. Took a bit more thinking, but still i want more of a challenge.
"Computer, please increase the difficulty again, thank you." The robot got up and instead of attacking, it got into a position and studyed his movements. Now this is more like it. Mettaliar got into a ready position and started to circle the robot, occasionally throwing a jab in to keep it off-balance. The robor tried to side kick Mettaliar, but he blocked it and let out a furry of kicks, then jumping to deliver a spinning roundhouse that connected and sent the robot flying. Mettaliar wiped his forehead and felt a little dampness. Well now I know I'm getting a workout. Another robot appeared behind him adn almost grabbed him, yet as before he grabbed an arm and tossed him to the ground.
Mettaliar realized he was reaching a critical point in himself. If he continued a bit farther he'd be getting to pumped up to stop, and that usually ended in a long day of fighting. Yet, he decided to keep going. He decided to stick at that difficulty though. Another robot appeared in front of him and got ready to attack. Mettaliar got into his stance and kicked the side of the robot a few times. Then, as he went for another kick, the robot grabbed his leg. Oh boy, hear I go. He leaped and spun around and roundhoused the robot in the head as he let go of the leg. Mettaliar quickly jumped and started kicking at all angles. Eventually, he decided to finish his session with a good super kick to the chin. The robot fell over. "Computer, end session." The robot disappeared and the simulation ended. As Mettaliar sat against the wall, he wondered if he would step the difficulty up and used a staff, that he would do good. But now it was time to rest. Mettaliar closed his eyes slightly and meditated.
Kilala came into the Danger Room and walked up the computer. Just as she was about to input her personal workout program, she noticed someone downstairs in the sparring room. She pulled open the glass door and slowly walked down the stairs, surveying the person sitting on the floor.
Mettaliar looked from his meditation at the newcomer. She seemed quite respectful. "Well, I was. Now I'm resting, so you may use it if you want. Unless you wanna spar. If not that's ok."
Kilala smiled and looked at him up and down to try and size up his capabilities. She took a bow from the other side of the room and walked back over. "Sure. I could use a real live person to practice with. My name is Kilala. We using mutations too or what??"

Mettaliar smiled and got up and jumped around a bit. He walked out into the middle of the room, and turned around. "Uhhh, sure. I'll use mine right now." With that held his arm out, and with the air swirling around, a staff appeared in his hands. Once it was complete, he twirled it around a bit.
"Kilala, as I said. Some call me Setsuna if you prefer." She readied her staff to indicate she was about to begin. "On the ready!" Kilala dashed forward quickly and swung down on the young man with the bow.

Mettaliar side stepped out of the way and quickly swung his staff to his other hand. She's fast. he thought. He finally got his staff ready and lunged forward and swung at her. But how fast is she on defense?
Kilala did a copy cat move and side stepped him with a sly smirk, tapping him lightly on the back with her staff to tease him. She then stepped back in a defensive stance once more, twirling the staff around in her hands.
"Not bad, Mettaliar," she said with sincerity. The kid had a nice flow with how he moved and she certainly had had her good share of opponents...

Mettaliar got back up in his usual stance. Ok, so she is fast on both ends. "Your not so bad yourself, Kilala." He started to walk in a circle around her, seeing what her reaction would be. What kind of fight is she.. let's find out.
"Computer, Level 1 training mode. Simulation only!" She commanded as Kilala swung the pole around and came at him from a high attack, coming down on him. In this mode, there would be simulated robots attacking them while they fought in turn.

Mettaliar raised an eyebrow when she asked for a simulation. From behind he noticed a robot slowly coming towards him. Hmmm. Deffinatly a- his thoughts were cut short from the sight of Kilala jumping at him. He Held his staff up and blocked the strike, then bent low and slide underneath her. Once behind her he flipped back up with one hand and stood there. "Aha, you are challenging. Nice job on the simulation, too. I like extra challenges"
Kilala turned around and noticed one of the simulated robots coming behind him. She did a slight nod toward it to give him the heads up, just as she heard another one coming from her left side. After spinning to avoid the hit, Kilala hit the artificial robot and it disappeared from the critical strike. She turned back to Mettaliar and bent low to trip him with the bow.

Mettaliar sensed the robot coming as Kilala took out a simulated robot. He waited for the robot to strike, and when he did he bent so it lunged over him. He poked his staff up and hit the robot as it disappeared. He got up just as he noticed Kilala bending low to trip him. It was too late as he felt the bow sweep under him and him falling back. He caught himself on his one arm and flipped up to a stance as another robot attacked with a punch. He quickly swept his staff to the side of the robot, making it dissappear. He turned back to Kilala. "Guess I must be more aware of you." He grinned and slowly started advancing on her.
