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.

"Yea, sure. I haven't ridden in one for a very long time, so I guess it'll be interesting." Fade said. This was true, she needed to get somewhere else, fast, before the cops caught her, so she asked a lady to give her a ride. The lady was afraid of being harmed by Fade, so she flagged down a taxi and paid for Fade's ride. Little did they know that her sister was not in labor and she needed to get there asap, she just needed a quick get-away. Sure, she could have used her powers, but why? there was a perfect opportunity to get away without using her powers, so she took it.
Finally flagging down a cab, Victoria smiled at Fade as it pulled up. She had been taking cabs all around the city that day, but luckily she had cleared out her British account of funds and had it transferred into all American dollars. Increasing the bang for buck that way, she had plenty of small bills stuffed in her purse for just such an occasion.
Pulling on the handle of the back door, Victoria looked at the cab driver suspiciously. He was giving them both long gazes as if hunger for a threesome became more important than doing his job. Slipping inside the back seat, she could feel his eyes on her. "What are you staring at?" She reached out to slap him, pulling her hand back and then swiping it across his face. Instead of striking him, Victoria cringed, attempting to phase her hand right through his head. She was successful and let out a relieved sigh when she drew her hand back and into her lap.
The cab driver cringed as he realized the impending slap to the face he was about to recieve. He should have known better than to let his libido control him. It was to late for that now. He anticipated the pain when instead he felt a strange rushing sensation pass through his head, scrambling his brain into a dizzy spell. Shaking his head and holding it with his hand he looked wide-eyed at the girl who just did that to him. "Uh..uh..." he stammered. She was a mutant.
"Can you just take us to where she tells you?" She pointed to Fade as she entered the car. She wasn't going to deal with the intolerance of other people anymore today.
Fade raised an eyebrow to the cab driver as if she were saying "You look at us like that again and I'll do more damage than phasing through you." Yet these words didn't leave her mouth. This time, real words exited her soft lips. "Xavier's School for Gifter Youngsters, the Sister School, that is." She said, correcting herself. She shut the door and crossed her legs before she felt something under her. She pressed her back up against the cab seat and pushed her pelvis forward. Her hand slide back to where she was uncomfortable and pulled out a granola bar. She forgot that she shoved one in her back pocket. As she moved back to her normal position, she eyed the bar, making sure there were no cuts or parts that did not look right before she opened it and took a bite.
"On't worry," She said to Victoria, her mouth a bit full of granola, "Ish ine." This was to assure Victoria that she didn't just find food and shove it in her mouth.
Victoria chuckled to herself, her expression one of amusement at seeing Fade writhe in her seat and produce the granola bar. She nodded, indicating that she was okay with her eating her 'butt food' and then turned to stare out the window.
New York was certainly different than where Victoria was used to. She welcomed the change. Watching the scenery as it changed from busy city to quiet countryside, Victoria smiled to herself. Now she would finally get the help that she so desperately wanted; she no longer wanted to be a danger to herself. The broken bones she had in the past were enough to warn her against her powers.
Finally pulling up to the mansion, Victoria could barely tell where they were. Slowing stepping out of the taxicab and handing the driver his money, minus a tip, she finally stood up tall enough to see the home in front of her. Impressive as it was, she wanted to know more about what was on the inside; the people who inhabited it. Spying two people already at the gate and a separate cab pulling away from the driveway, she looked to Fade for the next directions.
