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.

>>"No. He didn't. It's all me here, Sveta. Just me playing matchmaker. Shouldn't we be washing up for dinner?"
Sveta sighed. Playing matchmaker. Of course. What else could it be?
"Ami. Do you know how I came to the States?" she asked, looking at the girl. This might be the time to tell her. To avoid awkwardness that was definitely in the future.
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Nope. Of course she didn't. how could she know? Sveta did not usually tell people about that.
"I was a mail order bride." she said with a small smile. It was a long time ago. Things were more simple back then "A matchmaker set me up with a guy in the States who wanted to marry me."
Yeah. That worked out just fine...
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
"Look, I'm sorry." Amelia wasn't. "If this is awkward. I just wanted to give you a nudge." She looked at Sveta intently. "I like you. And Aurum likes you. You're like family. I just thought..."
Now, here she was being more truthful. Amelia frowned. "I thought it'd be nice having you as a big sister." Hearts everywhere, they melted, at that line's delivery. ...Or at least, one could hope.
>>"Look, I'm sorry. If this is awkward. I just wanted to give you a nudge. I like you. And Aurum likes you. You're like family. I just thought... I thought it'd be nice having you as a big sister."
Sveta smiled and shook her head.
"It's okay. I just think I am done with matchmaking for a very long time. But, you know" she tilted her head at Ami "You don't have to hook me up with your brother to have me as a big sister. I like being a big sister anyway."
And Ami was definitely little sister material.
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Amelia smiled, too. It was a small smile, but a smile nonetheless. "Thanks," she said. She ran her sleeve across her face, up to her eye. "Sorry. I just... something stuck." She brushed the 'something', a tear, away.
Real touching. Seriously. Lifetime or TLC could have aired it in the afternoon.
"I still think you should talk with him." She chuckled weakly. "Or maybe I should check to see how he feels."
>>"Not his style. Well, okay. Maybe sometimes. But-"
>>"Whose style?... Is there something I'm missing here?"
Sveta looked up, and let go of Ami. Apparently the girl took the whole matchmaker game much more seriously than she shoudl have. Oh well. She was a teenager. She was allowed to do stuff like that. That's what being a teenager is all about. Sveta was just a few years older; but when it came to experience, it probably could have been decades...
"Nah, nothing" Sveta smiles at Aurum "We are just talking about girl stuff."
Standing, she took Ami by the hand and pulled her up too "Come on, let's eat."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Amelia followed, covering both their asses with an innocent smile.
Aurum arched an eyebrow. Something was there. He could tell. Beneath the happy face. But he knew Ami. There wasn't any way he'd get that something out of here without a great deal of work or a coerced confession. He left it well enough alone.
