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.

Chris follow the other mutant into a less busy side street, which meant less wanton destruction of their surroundings. It was hard to come up with a good place while running; Chris needed to keep the attention on not stumbling over his feet. "Backyards," he answered. "Sewers. The Hudson. I have a van... it's out of gas..." He cast a quick glance over his shoulder, just to make sure their pursuers hadn't entered the side street yet, and almost ran into a lamppost. Chris swerved around it, and fervently continued to list different hiding places. "Side streets, air vents, containers, the mansion, but it's too far... parks... Parks! A park!" he exclaimed and halted, pointing in at another side street they were just passing. Between the towering buildings a patch of lush, green trees could be seen... behind a smooth, two meters high concrete wall. Chris didn't care about the wall, though - right now all he cared about was the trees behind. And parks often contained lakes...
He ran towards the wall and, when he was close enough, took a running leap. His hands clasped around the capstones and he started to heave himself up - but then he could feel his grip starting to slip. Slimy skin certainly had it's disadvantages sometimes. Chris gasped and held on to the wall for dear life to prevent from slipping down to the ground.
Tim was a bit confused by the other mutant's sudden urge to find a park. But nonetheless, Tim decided to follow him. It was a bit strange plan, but it was a plan no less. Besides, they might be able to hide there, and a park surely was more peaceful than a street. When they finally did get to a park, they were blocked off by a wall. It didn't seem to concern the other mutant; he simply ran towards the wall and jumped. Tim watched him for a moment, also watching to see if their pursuers were close. Suddenly the other mutant seemed to be slipping. Tim quickly hurried over to the wall. he put his hands above his head, as to catch the other mutant if he fell. However, the repulsive waves that Tim's entire being emitted somehow became stronger. Not so much because Tim wanted them to, but rather out of instinct. Tim smiled to himself as he saw the other mutant get lifted up. Tim followed soon. He took a few steps back and ran towards the wall and jumped. He got a tighter grip than the other mutant, and he seemingly had less trouble climbing up - all though it could be the repulsive waves that helped him. Tim soon landed on the other side. "Okay... now what?"

Suddenly, just about as he was about to lose his grip, something that felt like a strong gust of wind gave him that extra push he needed to scale the wall. Chris swung on leg over it and watched as the other guy managed to climb up the wall with decidedly less problems. "...Thanks." He then cast one final look out over the street behind him - no signs of the pursuers so far - and jumped down to the ground, tucked and rolled.
After he landed he did a quick surveillance of the area. The area wasn't very big, but it had bushes and some trees. It had no of the elements he associated with parks in New York, like benches, trash or homeless people. It was probably not a public park, but more like a private garden to one of the building complexes surrounding it.
Chris crouched behind one of the trees as the kid asked what they should do next. "Now we are quiet," he mumbled while reaching down towards his left foot. He stuck in his hand under the hem of his jeans and fished out a pocket knife he'd had strapped around his ankle. "And hope they do not climb the wall," he added darkly.
