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.

"no...I'm pretty sure she'll still put up a fight." Daria mused, blowing out the smoke.
"But I mean, you should be be proud of her. She had to grow up, she had to take care of herself and then take care of Ruby. Trust me, she's grown up but she still needs you." Daria thought back to the fight with Bloodfang. "She still needs a Mom."
Jade smiled, still a bit sad. "I'm just afraid there is no more room for me in her life."
Vincent rolled his eyes at his wife. "No she is just saying that. She really needs a father and you are just gonna be pushed aside."
WHAP!
Jade hit her husband with a toy dump truck, causing him to fall back on the couch, nursing his sore head. She glared evilly at her husband, tail wagging back and forth. "What was that dear?"
"I love you honey."
"Thought so."
Emerald came in, a blue burning issence pot in her hand as she sat down on the big cushy armchair tha she loved when she was a kid. She put the inesense on the end table allowing the scent to overflow in the room.
Jade looked over at her daughter, an evil grin creeping across he r face. "Oh emmy dear do you remember the time you ran through the house with a bucket on your head? You where just ramming into everything because that the bucket was so big it covered up your whole head."
Emerald groaned and hid her face under a pillow at this point. "I dont know what your talking about."
"Then you accidently ran yourself through the slidding glass door."

Daria started laughing, so Jade went on.
"I have photo albums, want to see?"
"yes, please!" Daria said as Jade disappeared. The cat girl took a seat and coughed as dust flew up from the cushions, almost as thick as her cigarette smoke. "This place could use a cleaning she said lifting a bib off of the couch, undoubtedly belonging to Ruby.
Vincent sighed. "She's been really...distraught. She won't clean or anything she wanted everything to be the way it was when...well you know. I'm sure things will change now though."
"Hopefully." Emerald managed from her hiding spot behind the pillows.
Jade began showing pictures of all of the family moments. One of Ruby tinkering with robot parts, one of Sapphire wearing pretty dresses even though she was holding a dolls head in the other hand, one of Emerald attacking her stuffed Lion.
There was pictures of Linda holding baby Ruby while Emerald ran around her legs with a toy boomerang. One picture in particular was of a table now normally tables had four wooden legs but this one had three...and one plastic base ball bat as the 4th. In the next picture Emerald was seen with the missing leg in her mouth, Sapphire was chasing the six year old WHO was running on all fours.
Emerald And vincent both fell off of thier sitting places in unision. "What was your first clue?" The both said.
WHAP! WHAP!
"What was that?"
"We love you mommy." Emerald said, rubbing her sore head.
Jade smiled at her daughter comming moving from the couch. She smiled as she wrapped her arms around her daughter in a hug. She kissed her the top of her head tenderly. "Im sorry did mommy hurt you?" Jade asked in a babish tone.
"Yea..." Emerald responded, trying to imitate her six year old voice the best she could.
"Then before I start cleaning I'm going to attempt to make cookies!" Jade exclaimed, with an ambitious look in her eyes.
"Shouldn't you clean first and not pocrastinate?" Vincent asked.
"Do you want your cookie to have antifreeze in it?"

And so the cleaning commenced. Daria helped the best way she could, by teleporting all the filled trashbags to the copter which would then take them to the dump.
She thought the atmosphere was extremely haunting, as if Emerald, Vincent and Jade were all living in the past, clinging to a life that was long since gone. It was eery but...Emmy was happy.
Linda too seemed a bit on the edge, as if she didn't understand Jade's mindset and wasn't sure if the "ice Husky" was okay.
Jade was in the kitchen acting like nothing but Linda knew her friend better than that. The woman had many cookies made with cookie cutters shaped like puppy paw prints. She stood over the cookies, tears running down her face.
"Jade," Linda said, putting her hand on the womans shoulder. The red head looked at Linda with sad eyes. "Jade whats wrong?"
"I want my babies back. I want them to be little again." Jade said through tears. Her body suddenly heaved in a sob. "I want Sapphire yelling at Emerald for slinging mud at her. I want Emerald running around with a table leg in her mouth. I want Ruby crawling in my lap asking for a story."
Linda wrapped her arms around her friend, rubbing the smaller womans back consolingly. "Shh...Jade you are gonna have to move on. They are all grown up now." Linda soothed.
"No they arent! They are still my girls and I am gonna give them hugs and kisses and tuck them in just like they where still little!"
meanwhile Emerald Started to her old bedroom. From the green painted walls, the tiny bed and the rocking chair with its pile of stuffed animals. She sat down in her pile of stuffed animal's, feeling an overwhelming feeling of comfort. She snuggled up in the pile of stuffed toys, feeling herself gaze off, remembering times from long ago.

Daria had been walking through the halls of the old house, leaving her foot prints in dust. When she stumbled upon Emerald's room she watched the girl then interupted.
"Does it still feel like home?" she asked, remembering what had happened when she went back to D.C with Mike.
Emerald sat up, tail wagging. "Yea....except the fact I'm not little anymore." Emerald sighed, "My whole childhood was in the labs. The years of my life that where supposed to be spent here, growing up, going to school and being loved by my parents."
Emerald clenched her fists, a low growl escaping her throat. "But instead that bastard had to take me away! Where I was friggan beaten, starved, molested and tortured! I was only six years old and I had to worry about wether or not I would live long enough for Fusionist to give me some of that gruel. Its just not fair."
Jade smiled as she finished the cookies with Linda's help. She had gotten to the point where she knew that Em along with her sisters where gonna grow up. And she should be there cheering them on till the end.
"They look good." Jade said, looking over at Linda.
"Smell good to." The woman replied with a smile.
"Where is everyone?"
"Dar is talking to Emerald and Vincent is down in the lab somewhere."
"Oh...I will save the cookies till thier are done then.""

Daria smiled. "I understand, Emerald. But honestly, this is the point in your life where you can kind of relax. Fusionist is gone, thanks to you, and you're in a safe place, we just found your parents. It's a sign from the universe."
Her smile faded a bit, and she seemed a little sad but she continued. "I mean, your mother is here to take care of you....you're a happy family again.
Emerald looked at Daria in the eyes. "Dar....are you afraid my mom is gonna replace the role you have already filled in my life?" Emerald asked curiously. "Because they way I look at it...now I have two moms, one who raised me from age 0 to age six and one who helped make me become a better person at Age 16."

Daria tried to play it off. "Psssh. Me, afraid? No way. I mean, it's not like I really thought of you as my daughter...I'm too young for kids.." she said and smiled slightly.
"however if you insist on me being a mom, I can't say no." she grinned and looked around the room. "this looks a little like my room...but mine is less...tom-boyish..."
Emerald rolled her eyes at Dar. She went over to the corner and pulled out a large table leg with bite marks on it. "Remember that table leg that was missing?" She grinned.
Emerald wagged her tail back and forth as she looked around the room. "Sapphire was always more girlier tha I was and so was Ruby. I was just the trouble maker."
