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.

Sarah just gave an "Ohhhhh" look, like everything suddenly made sense. "So you mean you were having sex," she said simply, then started bouncing on the couch again, now that the morning's mystery was solved.
"Breakfast would be good, I'm hungry. Mom didn't have time to stop and get me anything before dropping me off."
Mike was holding his head as he entered the room. He wore a pair of black jeans, a black button-up shirt hanging loose over a tight grey t-shirt.
"Ow! God, Daria, she's only twelve, how bad could she oh my God, you said WHAT?" he exclaimed, his attention turning quickly from Daria to Sarah as the past few minutes played out in Daria's mind for him to see. "What the hell are you doing talking about things like that, little girl?"
Sarah looked up at Mike with a 'hmph' look. "I happen to be twelve years old. I'm not a little girl anymore."
Mike sighed, rolling his eyes. "You've also been spending too much time around Johnny, if you're learning about things like that."
Sarah shook her head. "Mommy and Daddy got Cinemax last year, remember?"

Daria exhaled deeply. That was the epitomy of all things AWKWARD.
She walked in the room to grab her cell phone and bag and came back out. Sarah was watching her intently.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"You just did." Daria smiled.
Sarah smiled back and kept talking. "Do you like having a tail?"
"Um.." Daria thought for a moment. It was an ironic question considering what she and Mike had been talking about earlier and what she was always complaining about. "Yeah..I guess so. I mean, I'd definitly miss it if I lost it." She raised her tail up to her face and nodded at it, making it 'nod' back. "I love you too."
Sarah giggled.
"Alright, Captain." Daria turned to Mike, the awkwardness gone, "Where's pancake land around here?"

Daria jumped and tensed up because there was a child present, but then changed her mind. When Mike turned to lock the door she swatted his backside with her tail.
She walked off casually towards Sarah who was anxiously pressing the button. "It's not gonna come any faster." Daria informed her.
"I know...I just want my waffles." she thought for a minute. "Do you like strawberry waffles?" she asked circling around Daria.
"Um..I've never had them." "Never?!" she said still spinning. Daria was getting dizzy just watching. The door opened to the elevator and Sarah almost went tumbling in had Daria not caught her with her tail.
The elevaor attendant looked down his nose at the girls who were both laughing.
"I don't think you need any more sugar." she cautioned.
"What do you mean?" Sarah asked, that childlike innocence peering up at Daria through big blue eyes.
"She means you're acting like a chipmunk with a Mountain Dew addiction," Mike answered as he stepped into the elevator. He gave her a playful one-armed hug, supressing the urge to ruffle her hair, then steppe back, slipping his hand around Daria's.

Daria laughed intertwining her fingers with Mike's.
Sarah noticed and cast her a teasing glance. Daria played along and stuck out her tongue and Sarah returned the action. The elevator attendant looked on and cleared his throat rather loudly.
"Your suite will be cleaned when you return, Mr. Asters. May I offer you a sign up sheet for any of the Hotel's activity's?"
"Not for today, but leave one in my room for Monday, please," Michael replied, nodding to the man. He squeezed Daria's hand as they walked out of the elevator.
By the time they reached the street, Sarah was hopping up and down, waiting for them before she tried to cross the street. "Come ON!"
He shrugged helplessly. "SHe's afraid we'll get lost, I think."
They all entered the restaurant, getting the usual stares that were turned away by Mike. They were seated in a booth near the back after Mike 'suggested' it to the hostess, and Mike and Daria buried themselves in the menus. Sarah just swirled designs in the condensation on her water glass while she waited, muttering 'strawberry waffles' in a singsong voice as she did.

Daria smiled at the girl
She looked up at the waitress who brought a pitcher of Milk to the table for Daria. She poured herself a glass and took a drink, noticing in mid-swig that Sarah was watching her.
"Do you eat catfood or people food?"
Daria almost choked while warding off a laugh "I just ordered pancakes."
"Yeah, but that could have all been for show." Sarah said casually. "And you're drinking Milk so.." she shrugged.
"I have issues with water." Daria said simply. It was ture, had she been drinking water just then there wouldn't have been such a qucik recovery form the chocking incident.
Sarah nodded and then looked at her cup. "I want Milk too" She held up her glass to Daria.
Mike had almost choked upon hearing the 'catfood or peoplefood' question, and was just recovering when Daria started pouring the milk.
"By the way, Sarah, has Dad been all right to you since I talked to him yesterday?"
Sarah shrugged. "He started getting all huffy, but Mom told him to go help Johnny with his homework and sent me to bed."
Mike rolled his eyes. And the family fear of me starts. My mom heard all the things I told him I'd do to get him bad publicity, and she doesn't want him to get into hard times and start being even MORE pissy.
"And Johnny?"
Sarah's eyes got sad and she looked down at her menu. "Johnny's scary."

Daria glanced from Sarah to Mike and then back at Sarah. It came from her cat instincts she could tell that whatever was wrong was really wrong. She could tell because the little girls sent changed slightly.
"What's wrong" she asked before she could help herself.
