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.

These questions were easier to address but still complicated. Still their was much less emotional attachment from them and so she could keep her emotions in check while she spoke. She also did not like crying in front of people, it was somthing she had learned to bury over the years.
"No, they can not. Think about it a Mutant with the power to out run a car wants to do track in school. He does not use his power but wins anyway. If his power is found out how many would blindly accuse him of cheating with his power? Petty now, but entire nations have gone to war over stupid things like soccer games. Humans know we are their evolution and as such humanity is about to fade from history. Any species would fight for their survival no matter how futile and their survival would be a world without us" she said deciding not to mention she feared a human nuclear attack on a large concentration of her people.
The next question was something that had been drilled into her head since she could remember. "A world with only mutants who can prosper, with me buried somewhere no one would find she said simply and easily. She knew she had no part in a world like that and would not pretend to.
"I must believe they do. To believe otherwise would be to believe im a heartless, psychopathic killer whom has slaughtered over a thousand people in simple murder. It may be true but i would rather believe i am making the world a better place for our people. I am sure their are more then one mutant hating group who hesitates because i exist. The more of our people i can save before i am killed the better" she said talking about her own death rather casually. "I have watched mutant's die, get stabbed, shot and be beaten simply for being mutants, someone must stand up for them and i just so happen to have a power well suited for that" she replied looking down at the hole she made in the chair as if finally noticing it.
" I knew one mutant that had reserved himself to living in a sewer simply because he had a visible mutation that made him look like a monster. I corrected that of course but before we could reach safety he was attacked by anti-mutant gang members. Alone he would be dead. To me that makes it worth any price i might have to pay" she went on pride echoing through her voice. Aura fully believed she was a good person with an awful job and a terrible past but she beelived she was doing the right thing.

She was actually a pretty decent person. A decent person with a crappy past that had stained any chance she had at a normal future, but she was clearly trying to do the best she could with it. She wasn't killing because she wanted to, she was killing because she was trying to help fellow mutants so that they didn't have to go through what she had.
That was actually really cool, in a tragic hero kind of way. If this was a movie, he'd be routing for her, even though he knew things weren't going to end well. At all.
She made some points that were good, and some that were... unsettling.
Jiri had lived a really sheltered life, as far as mutants went. He grew up normal, he hadn't manifested any physical mutations when his power kicked in, his family had accepted him, and he was in a school that catered to his kind.
His kind.
Was it really an us-versus-them thing, out in the world at large? Humans were scared of them. Jiri knew that for a fact, because he'd thought he was human up until a few weeks ago, and he knew how much his heart sped up when he saw a power that scared him. It was a normal reaction. A human reaction.
He didn't agree with her vision of the ideal world. But he couldn't say it was wrong, either.
"Thank you for sharing all this with us, Aura. I... feel like I can understand where you're coming from, a lot better." Jiri said, ignoring the flow of questions still coming in. Most of them fell into two camps: stupid and invasive. Stupid ones would ruin the tone they'd set here. Invasive ones would just hit on the same topics. The way she'd answered already... this was perfect.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say? Thoughts you'd like to leave us with?"
She gave him a nod as she took the cue things were winding down. "If only you understand me better and no one else does this will still have been success. " she said hoping others would feel the same. It was the only interview she had ever done and so it was hard to gauge how well things would go. Still it was nice to tell others about what had happened in the forest as well as the rest of it.
Final thoughts, sure she could do that. "If you are watching this and you are human. Do not harm a mutant because i will find you and correct the issue. If you are a mutant i will do everything i can to protect you. United we can stand" she said with a two finger salute from her forehead and first two fingers.
Once the Camera was off she looked at Jiri and smiled holding a blank card with a number on it. "If you ever need me, if any human tries to harm you, let me know. I will make sure the issue is corrected" she said seriously. She had not in the least been joking about breaking him out the mansion. She liked Jiri he seemed like a nice enough guy. He had also been in her option very professional with the whole thing.

Jiri let out a breath he hadn't been consciously holding as he switched off the camera. That had gone...
...that had gone. No adjective really fit, so he'd settle on the statement itself. They'd done it. It had gone.
He accepted the card, holding it in both hands. "Thank you. For this, for the interview. For making me question a little of what I hear on the news, I guess."
He wasn't sure what else to say, really. A lot had already been said, most of it really private, the sort of thing you didn't just say. It was weird how easy it was for people to talk into a camera, addressing an audience of indeterminate size and make, but it was so hard to just sit down and have a conversation like this when it was one-on-one.
He packed up his camera and his laptop, shouldered his laptop. He took out his wallet, and put Aura's card into an empty credit card slot. He was a little young to be carrying plastic: her card was the only thing in there.
