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.

"Check on her, and something else." He was being vague. Vague, and trying to change the subject. That meant there was something there. He smelled of booze, and he'd gone to "check on" Maxine. It didn't take Sherlock Holmes to piece together clues like that. It was of the greatest simplicity.
She was not going to let him distract her from her course of inquiry. She needed to know more.
"Only if you don't want a girlfriend anymore," Amelia crossed her arms coldly.
She gave him the look. Then, she added. "You went to her before you went to me. Think about that. Think carefully."
She was his girlfriend. Maxine wasn't. She'd seen him die. He should have realized that. Sure, he'd died in a dream, but she'd died in dreams too. It shouldn't have screwed him up so much he'd lost track of what was important. So maybe she wasn't as important to him as she'd thought.
Ouch. Gawain shuddered. He knew she meant it, and it suddenly felt like a very real possibility.
>>"You went to her before you went to me. Think about that. Think carefully."
"Believe me, I have." Gawain sighed, all the fight leaving him "It's just... complicated. If I could explain it, I would, and I really wish I could. But I can't. There is... nothing between Maxine and I. That's the truth."
He looked at Ami. He really meant what he was saying. The experience was still fresh, and Maxine made all that very clear.
He suddenly seemed very immature, not knowing. Which was ridiculous, because he was older than her. That obviously told her something.
He was constantly putting his life on the line for other people. Playing super hero. But this was a big and scary world, and she couldn't always be there to shove him out of the way of moving cars.
The X-men were frighteningly foolish.
She respected Shin and Kealey, and liked Gawain... and Rebecca seemed cool, though she hadn't talked with her much since the girl had joined the X-men, but suddenly they seemed a little intense.
Amelia liked living. She liked having happy fluffy funtimes with friends and her boyfriend. And most of all, she liked not living in a naive Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Cartoon world where people 'never got hurt'. She operated in the real world, and she'd been fooling herself and blinding herself if she wanted to risk that living status in the real world by fighting madmen with guns just because of a boy. The realization hurt.
"I love you, but..." Her voice wavered more than she wanted it to. "Dammit. This sucks."
"It does, doesn't it." Gawain muttered, looking up. There was a lot of things he should have said, and a lot of things he wanted to say. Some of those were the same, some of them were not.
"Look, Ami... I gotta figure things out. I am sorry, this was... is totally not fair to you. You deserve... the best. I'm sorry."
There was really nothing else to say. She knew where this was going, as well as he did.
"What I really need..." She glanced away, frowning. If she really had to think about it... "Probably isn't someone who's running towards the fire to stand in it. Or jumps in front of bullets." He wasn't a fireman, and he wasn't a cop. She knew the X-men were working with the police, but even so... it wasn't a perfect unity, and it didn't make it legit. And even if it did... "Bluh. Maybe I should just give up on men, period. Or dating. At least for a while."
This was heavy. All she knew for certain was, she couldn't date Gawain.
"You're probably better off without me, anyways." She looked at him sadly. "You can move on, grow up, and talk to whoever you want... and I can go to college and not worry about being close to you."
Well. It was said. It was out in the open, and now... she needed to go.
Amelia started moving towards the door. "Take care of yourself, Gawain. I gotta--" Go.
