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.

Mike just held her for a few minutes, turning off the tub in the meantime. By now it was up to their navels. "In case I haven't said it before, you're probably the strongest person I know for going through all that and only coming out with a fear of water," he said quietly. "I'd like to tell you that you're making a big deal out of nothing, but we both know you're not. There's nothing about this that isn't a big deal."
"But I'm not going to let anything happen to you. And the way you're eventually going to die, by the way, is of old age after our great-grandchildren are born," he added, a very slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

"I hope Sarah agrees with you." she laughed, very, very weakly but kissed him and pressed her cheek against his.
Reaching across from him and digging her other hand into the ledge and climbing on top of him, to face him. Her eyes were closed and she could feel the water but if she opened her eyes she could only see Mike, which was what she was going for. She she opened them and looked into his eyes and tried to relax.
Her tail unwrapped itself from his leg and her claws retracted enough so that she could move her hands without splashing. She immediately wrapped her arms around mike, hearing the water move and wincing. But she was okay, she knew it, she was alright.
"For what?" he asked, whispering as well, smiling. He held her close, kissing her lightly, as the water rose ever so slowly, making its way up to their chests now. He pulled her closer onto his lap, as a consequence, raising her in the water, so that if the water came up to his shoulders, she'd still be a little higher in it than he.
Mike kissed her back, turning the water up as the hot tub was now completely filled. They sat there like that for some time, the still water only disturbed by their movements. He thought briefly about turning on the jets, then decided against it just for now.

Daria's tail floated on the water's surface, everytime she flicked it out of habit she splashed and jumped and then calmed down again. After a while she was able to relax, mainly because she was still practically glued to Mike. He was the only thing keeping her calm.
"Times like this, you've got to wish I was normal." she insisted. "Like I think you would rather have a really hot, non-aquaphobic chick with you right now. But look what you got stuck with? I think you made someone upstars mad." she mumbled.
"So I pissed them off enough to get an absolutely gorgeous girl who risks her life for me on a moderately regular basis and is willing to try to face her most terrifying fear with me? I'll have to piss off God more often."

Her eyes lit up as she smiled. She ran her hands through his hair.
"Well look at me, I'm like, chest deep in water. And without an oxygen tank or scuba suit no less. I should take up an underwater sport! You know, for excercise." she laughed.
Michael grinned, shifting her closer in his lap. "And what underwater sports do you have in mind? Somehow I can't picture you deep sea diving" he teased, stroking her tail playfully under the water.

"I know how to operate a basic submarine. I've just never been able to get inside and test that knowledge. I can't think of any reason for me to need to do so...
"Water polo? Or..." she grinned devilishly and kissed him passionately. "We could just invent our own sport..."
At this point, Mike was acutely aware (again) of the fact that she was sitting in his lap naked. "Yes... our own sport might have... advantages."
"Granted, I don' t know how it could be made into any kind of competition, but I'd be willing to settle for practices until we figure that part out," he teased, then kissed her passionately again.
There were very wet trails leading from the hot tub to the bed, but evidently they'd taken long enough that they were dry by the time they'd hit the bed. THey lay lazily under the blankets, wrapped in each other's arms.
