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.

>>"You don't like me like I want you to like me. If I was grown up, you would... Augh! I don't want you to sink of me as your little sister! I am going to find a fairy godsmother and she is going to make me OLD."
Against her better judgement, Sveta laughed. She really felt sorry Bo was not here right now. She was a sweet and kind girl, and would have been a much better macth for Jude. Not to mentions he was human. As far as Sveta knew.
"And vat do you tink I would do with an old man wid grey beard and all?" she asked, chuckling at him. That was a funny thought, jude growing old. Even with beard and white hair, she could not picture him any other way but as a child. A very old child.
"How does it feel?" she asked more seriously "Being a kid... still, or again, or... I mean, dey all treat you like a kid. You have parents, and..."
And it was all messed up.

The ceiling was boring. He wasn't really staring at it, more pointing his eyes at it while his brain chugged along down far away paths.
"I sink it's a little bit like waking up from being crazy." Jude folded his hands behind his head. The floor tiles were cold, as cold as Svetlana's heart. It was sucking the warmth right out of him.
He realized that he was being melodramatic.
"I was a man withs responsibilities. People respected my opinion. I had a power I could use and years of practice using it.
When I awake, I have ze tiniest voice and none of ze resources I had built up for myself. Also, none of the reason to live ze life I had lived before. I am back to being a child no one wants to exist until Ghost comes for me." He hoped that she got the note sooner rather than later. He hated to make her worry.
"People don't just talk to me like a child. Zey talk to me like my ideas are not important and my opinion doesn't matter. Now at least I have a power. Power makes people treat you different."

I am back to being a child no one wants to exist until Ghost comes for me."
She had never thought of it like that. She knew the story, not in great detail, but more or less, and she always imagined it like some kind of a dream, as opposed to reality. But for Jude, it was apparently more real than the life he was living now.
>>"People don't just talk to me like a child. Zey talk to me like my ideas are not important and my opinion doesn't matter. Now at least I have a power. Power makes people treat you different."
"It does" she nodded solemnly "But not always in a good way."
She was quiet for a while. He was too. She wanted to tell him to get off the floor before he catches a cold, but she didn't.
"I never knew you before you were a kid" she mused, and it sounded strange "For many people, even if they know in their head dat you are not a kid, it is hard to remind over and over again when dey talk to you, you know? Dose who really understand, dey try. But that you have a power it does not make you a grown up. Many children have powers. The difference is how you use it."
Fortune cookies for the eternal win. Sveta wrinkld her nose.
"I did it too. Think of you as a kid. I am sorry, I know it is not easy, for you. So, how about, I try to do it different? I promise. But you have to promise me something in exchange too."

Jude very much doubted Svetlana's promise. He didn't doubt that she might try, but he very much looked his physical age. And no matter how much he might tell people otherwise, what he really wanted would get Svetty carted off to jail.
The little frenchman sat up and frowned at the blonde. He still hadn't exploded. "What promise do you want me to keep?" It might not be worth it.
He did not look too enthusiastic about the whole deal. Sveta resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Guys, no matter if they were ten, or twenty, or forty, or grown-up-that-looks-like-a-child, were all just children in the end. The ywanted something, and they started sulking if they did not get it.
"I want you to promise me to be careful wid your powers" she told him, looking into his eyes "It feels like now that you are strong and powerful and everyting, but it is not de way to make people respect you more. Just... I want you to be a hero. Not a villain."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Not a villain. Jude shook his head with a smile. "Is zat all? I would have done zis anyway."
The frenchman put his hands on his knees and pushed himself to his feet. "I will not touch anyone not human or not safe." His grin only got bigger. "But of course, I will be a hero, but I cannot be hero to anyone in here." His confidence faltered a little. "Can I still visit you?"
Maybe he did not really understand. Not fully, not yet. But he would, sooner or later. Sveta trusted him with that.
>>"I will not touch anyone not human or not safe. But of course, I will be a hero, but I cannot be hero to anyone in here. Can I still visit you?"
Sveta looked sad.
"I would like you to stay" she confessed, standing up too, although there could have been no talk of hugs or kisses or handshakes "But if you can't, den visit. Okay? Whenever you can. And Jude?" she added with a small smile "Be careful."
