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.

My, but that was a quick dispatching. Maybe the girl really didn't want to believe it was true.
... Not that Lenna knew it was true, of course... she wasn't really sure about anything, so...
"I could make a call." She suggested. "Your face seems familiar. But if I'm making the connections right, I saw it at a place called the Sanctuary. And it is mainly mutants, there. If you forgot... someone might remember?" Or was this idea and conversation topic simply too strange?
>> "I could make a call. Your face seems familiar. But if I'm making the connections right, I saw it at a place called the Sanctuary. And it is mainly mutants, there. If you forgot... someone might remember?"
Lydia couldn’t help it. She got hopeful. If there was a chance the blonde woman could in fact offer assistance, whether it be with a simple phone call, she would take it.
“A call? Yes, actually. Please,” she replied, a little sheepish from her prior, harsher statement, “That would be…amazing, if someone did remember me.” Although why the hell were mutants such a recurring theme? Maybe it was time for her to consider it an actual possibility now...she had been friends with mutants.
Reaching into her jacket's front pocket, the blond extracted a cellular phone. She dialed Lisa, then brought the cell up to her ear. "Hello, Lisa? This is Lenna. Yes... yes... okay..." She replied casually, drifting through business as usual. Then, she brought around her topic. "Hey. Could you check something for me? I have someone named Lydia here... and I think she might have used to go to the Sanctuary. Can I give her the phone? Sure."
With a shrug, Lenna held the phone out for Lydia. "She wants to speak with you." She said.
Lisa? Who was Lisa? Lenna seemed quite comfortable with her.
>> "She wants to speak with you."
“Uh, okay,” Lydia murmured as she took the cell phone, tentatively putting it up to her ear, “Hello?”
“Lydia, right?”
“Yes.”
“I haven’t seen you around for a while. Haven’t forgotten about us, have you? What do you need me to check?”
“Uh…”
The conversation continued for a few more minutes, Lydia awkwardly explaining the situation to Lisa and asking her a few basic questions.
“Your room hasn’t been touched, if you’re coming back.”
“Thank you, I think that’s what I’m doing.”
“See you soon, then,” Lisa said, promptly hanging up.
The situation was a bit jarring. Apparently Lydia had lived at the Sanctuary for quite a while. She handed the phone back to Lenna, and perplexedly absorbed the information for a second. “I’m sorry but…would you mind taking me to this Sanctuary place? Lisa said my room’s still open.”
Lenna was very prompt, very cool. Very calm. And she had no qualms with taking Lydia to the Sanctuary. The girl assumed she lived there as well, since that was where the two had supposedly met. The blonde woman was also very efficient. In no time she’d hailed a cab and dictated the driver to their destination.
The ride was relatively silent, with the taxi driver occasionally making a quip here and there. Lyd did not respond, she was too busy reeling with everything she’d just learned. One, she was most probably a mutant. Two, she’d been in New York for a long time, almost a year. Three, she actually had a place to stay, a fixed home. And maybe even friends in that home. The thought excited her, but also caused some unease. She wasn’t sure if she was ready to be suddenly thrust back into whatever her old life had been.
Soon, the cab stopped in front of a large building with gaudy, gleaming gold doors, and she stared for a moment before hurrying after Lenna, who was already going through them. Lydia felt bad that the woman had paid the whole cab fare, but she would’ve felt foolish offering her meager pocket change.
The duo was greeted by Lisa, sitting at her usual receptionist desk.
