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.

Her list was long, but time growing short. Many of the names she's scrawled into her book were too powerful for her to take on alone, or directly at least. She'd been gone from Roach's for three days now, and knew at some point he was sure to come looking for her.
But... she probably had time for one last stop.
Steven was number 13. An unlucky number for must; Steven included if Megan had anything to say about it. He wasn't a problem for her, however. Rather small compared to some of the other people she was scoping out. But, he'd definitely done something worthy of ticking her off, and thus had ended up on her sh*t list.
So, she was going to attempt to set his house on fire.
See, Steven was a bratty high-school student who liked to take out his hormonal teen rage on mutants. She'd from a friend of a contact that Steven's most recent victim had gotten his arm broken in an after school brawl. That was enough for her to want to make the little sh*t pay.
So what if arson was maybe a little too much? She'd done it before. On accident, and not-so-much.
Checking her wristwatch to make sure it was well past the time Steven's house was supposed to be vacated for a Halloween party, she sat astride her motorbike at an intersection, waiting for the light to change. In the saddle bag strapped across the passenger seat behind her she had her supplies prepped and ready.
Maya took a double take when she saw the familiar figure on the bike.
Last time someone parked a bike like that in her presence, they ended up being trapped for an hour in the rear view mirror. She instinctively cringed and tensed up before he realized that that person was not why this shape looked familiar.
"Megan?..." she blinked, walking around to see her face. Her eyes lit up when she did. "Holy sh*it, MEGAN!" she said with a wide grin "Haven't seen you forever!"
She was glad her friend and roommate looked sound and well. Last time they met, she was all kinds of messed up. The baby thing will do that to you. Maya had been worried since Megan disappeared off the radar, and sometimes tried to look for her (not lately though; she had had her own baby problems.)
Hmm? Her heart jumped, she turned her head and caught sight of where her name had been uttered. The only people she'd been associating with for the last few months were Roach and... well, people that either couldn't or wouldn't speak her name like that. When she spotted who specifically had called her out, her heart did another back flip in her chest.
Maya. Sh****t.
Since the... er... since things had happened, she'd left the mansion and cut contact with almost everyone. Roach and the few people he forced her to run into were the only living beings unlucky enough to have to suffer through her presence.
"...Uh, Maya." Well, not exactly a Hi, how are you!? but it was currently the best she could come up with while her mind blazed away trying to figure out what to do. She had the immediate urge to hit the gas without another word and speed away. Though... there was no saying that the mirror walker couldn't just magic her way over to wherever Megan ended up. Sitting and talking though was both painful, and dangerous. While she didn't presume that Maya was an innocent goody-goody X-man, she wasn't about to fool herself into believing that she'd be OK with Megan trying to burn a teenagers house down.
Improvise, Megan! Improvise!
"I'm good. On my way to the store." She glanced back at the saddle bag, winced, and sighed. "What are you up to?"
>>"...Uh, Maya. I'm good. On my way to the store. What are you up to?"
There was something about how Megan answered that seemed off to Maya. She was parking here on her bike in the middle of the street. Definitely not the behavior of someone off to do some grocery shopping.
"I was worried about you, you know" she said, standing in front of the bike in case Megan wanted to make a run for it. It was understandable that she was till messed up from what happened, but that didn't mean she didn't have to talk about it. "I'm glad to see you in one piece. Planning on coming back to the Mansion anytime soon? I still need a roommate..."
Damnit... Maya was blocking her in. The Spider mutant frowned slightly, but dropped her hands from her handlebars and crossed her arms. It didn't surprise her that her roommate had been worried; she'd snuck out from some time alone the first chance she'd gotten and just sorta... not come back. Roach had filled the void inside her rather easily by, well.. just being himself. It was easy to forget things around him, and even easier to steep in her own anger and self pity.
In response to Maya's question, she shrugged and fished for something to say. Honestly, she wasn't sure if she'd be back. It was better if she was just... gone. or at least it was easier if she was. Hiding in the shadows with Greg, doing the things she needed to get done at night.. spending the rest of her time sleeping.
"I... dunno. Look, I really can't talk right now. I've got stuff I need to get done." A little irritation slipped into her voice, and she purposefully avoided looking at Mirror.
>>"I... dunno. Look, I really can't talk right now. I've got stuff I need to get done."
Maya was just about to let Megan go without prying into her life outside the Mansion any more, but something in the other girl's voice made her stop and do a double take. To keep her from riding away on her bike, which was a distinct possibility, Maya leaned forward, resting her hands on the handles of the bike, and looked at Megan with her eyes narrowed.
Megan's eyes landed on Maya, and the intensity within hardened. The mirror walker wasn't budging; With her hands on Megan's handlebars, that much was obvious. "Who said anything was wrong? Maybe i'm having the time of my f$@%in' life."
Her hands returned to the handles of her bike, heedless of Maya's hands already being there."Don't you have some kind of girlfriend to run along home to?"
She was getting more and more irritated. Not necessarily because of Maya's presence alone, but because Roach was supposed to be meeting her at the kids house. With her luck he was already there and waiting.
Her bikes engine VRIIMed insistently louder as she tightened her grip on the controls, and her frown deepened.
