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.

Trekking back from her expedition of the mountains that defended new horizon yet to be unseen by Elif. locking her elbow she eased the exhaustion out of her arms. Reviewed the caverns and canyons prospected by the young treasure hunter. Elif hoped that one day she might find a hidden civilization or artifact to have her name share a space with the likes of Heinrich Schliemann or Giovanni Battista Belzoni.
Lost in her thoughts, the young girl gleefully made her way back home with a spring in her step. Slipping through thick woods and hopping over rivers to babbling brooks, Elif soon made her way back to the more familiar part of the woods. While she lived near the edge of the forest, it was still deep enough to be segregated from the human towns and villages.
The glint of gold still muddy her sense, as she carelessly retraced her steps home. Her visions of chests laden with gold and crypts holding royalty, came to a halt as unnatural sounds echoed from behind a nearby tree. A mix of fear and curiosity crept up her spine, as golden flowers reached out to the sun's rays along with her talons stretching out to meet the threat. Creeping towards the sounds, Elif was unsure of the owner's intent as the sounds did not seem to be made out of aggression or fear. As the young girl crept closes, the sound split into two unintelligible howls. While they did not seem to be out of pain, Elif’s curiosity intensified as she drew closer to the sounds.
Preparing herself for whatever creature or creatures lay past the patterned bark. Peering around the circumference of the tree, she faced two humans. While the everyday man held no interest to her, as they are a social copy of what society desires. The actions between the two caught her interest. Staring at the two young humans as they hold each other, mashing their faces into each other’s. With a look and tone of confusion Elif called out to the couple. “ What are you doing”?
Almost instantly stopping their actions as they embarrassingly exclaim their actions. “ Oh um… just telling each other a secret”. While they couple merely thought Elif’s voice was that of a child, which was not entirely incorrect. The couples eye’s widened in shock as their vision met Elif’s form and blazing gold eyes, that swam in an infinite void. The couple’s embarrassment, quickly twisted into a myriad of emotions, fear being main contributor of the loss for words and frozen features. The three seemed to be in a sort of stalemate as the couple seemed frozen in fear or a desperate effort to see if the botanical humanoid only saw movement.
Growing impatient, and not satisfied by the couple's previous answer. Elif moved out from behind the tree with her eyes still focused on the two with a desire for knowledge still burning brightly in her golden eyes. As she moved closer and asked her question once again, the younger man’s fear got the better of him. Quickly making a hasty retreat, the other party slightly reached out towards the man in attempts to halt the man to no avail. All the women can do is mouth off a few choice words and glare with disapproval, as her partner abandoned her alone with the inquisitive plant.
Reverting back to the play dead tactic as the plant like being continues to impatiently wait for an answer. Fear and embarrassment clouded her judgement which made thinking of a answer for the child that stood before her. “Who cares about telling the plant girl about sex, if I am going to die anyway”!? Fear took over as she was about to reveal her dirty little secret in hopes of the being sparing her. Before the beat red girl was about to spill the beans, a odd tune rang out from her back pocket.
Curiously leaning to her side, as Elif tried to peek at what it was that made the lovely melody. Raising one of her talons and pointing at the girl’s pocket, “ What is making that sound”? As she asked Elif’s eyes and attention seemed focused on the new discovery completely tossing the previous conversation aside.
“I..it’s my phone”. Slowly reaching into her back pocket and showing it to the strange girl. The vocals boom towards Elif along with the light emitting from the strange device. Further inspecting the device, a depiction of a women and the word mother to contextualize a reason for the noise. After a few loops of the same string from a mellifluous tune, the light from the device faded along with the song.
Utterly dumbfounded by the odd device, she could not understand how such a feat would be possible. Elif did know of music and certain method of recording sound. However, how such a small device could display pictures and output music, left her awestruck.
The utter fascination and confusion coming from Elif, caused the young women to crack a small smile and chuckle at the wide eyed and awestruck child. “ It’s a cell phone, i can call other to talk with and send text messages as well as look up videos, games and information on the internet”.
Taking a mental step back as Elif had to process all of the separate functions the device could accomplish alone. Edison, Gray, Bell, Muybridge and many others who revised and brought new discoveries into the world. All of their work fused together into on small and simple device. Such a feat left Elif petrified with the advancements of the world.
It was too cute, the young women could not help but to laugh about how afraid she was of such an adorable girl. While she may not look the same, she is just a child deep down. Calming herself and looking at her phone, seeing that she missed a call from her mother made her think about where this girl’s family was. Looking at the living plant and thinking about if her parents looked similar. Though judging by the lack of clothes and the fact that she was all only, topple with her lack of knowledge on such a thing as a cell phone made her stomach sink as she knew that she is probably alone.
Moving towards the young girl, caused her to go on the defensive. By her actions it was doubtful that she had many good encounters with humans as most would just see her as a monster, sliding her eyes to the side as she felt shame for feeling the same way. Raising her hands up as if to show that she posed no threat to the young girl. “ I’m not going to hurt, you just seemed interested in my phone.. Would you like to know how it works”?
If Elif’s could glow they would be from the woman’s proposition. Giving a nod as she looked at the women as she held back her excitement mentally and physically. Scooting over to the women’s side and peering down at the device, as she impatiently weaves back and forth waiting for the woman to show her how the device works.
Giggling at the young girl as she holds the phone at her eye level and readies her other hand to access the menus. Thinking about showing her information on other mutants and the main groups that help and care for mutant kind. Touching the screen and loading up the browser, granting a surprised response as Elif raises her finger at the device question how such a feat was possible. Slowly taking the young girl’s hand and pressing the screen with her hand to bring up the keyboard, “ It’s a touch screen, it has some sort of sensor that registers touch”. Typing in the Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters, the phone loads and brings up the website for the school. “ While I don’t know the details, there is a school for others like yourself”. The women would hand off the device to the curious young girl and let her sate her curiosity.
Overwhelmed by yet another discovery that has been revealed to her. A device that has access to limitless knowledge and a school that could accept someone of her disposition. A overjoyed expression glowed from her as she could learn and one day sit among the greats of history. Looking through the site and reading every little detail, but her heart sank as the location was in the Americas.
Seeing the young girl’s joy filled expression fall flat caused her some worry. “ What’s wrong”? Giving the young girl a look of concern as she rested next to one of the trees. Looking over to the women feeling as if she weighed one hundred times her normal weight. Holding the screen towards her, “ The seas have halted my progress”. Looking at the girl with confusion, “ Well there are planes and boats”. “Eureka”! Elif had completely forgot about the time when those men came in the flying vessel. Searching for what this device was called lead her to the helicopter and then a air plane. Reading about this Airplane and airport had given her an idea of how to proceed to the school in the west.
Watching the young girl as she study multiple topics. She was unsure what she meant by her exclamation, but she looked to be focusing on her task with an intense diligence. “ I’m Heinrike, but most call me Riki, um do you have a name”? Riki wanted to ask about her family, but she did not want to anger the young girl and she already knew the answer, and she just wanted to clinch to her hope for humans. “ Taping away and operating the device with no difficulty at all, if she did not look as she did one would mistake of just another phone abscessed millennial. “ Elif Schwarzwald”. Giving a plain flat response as her thoughts were somewhere else. “ That’s a really nice name and very apt for the area, who gave you your name”? Continue her studies, and not really paying attention to Heinrike as she asked her questions. “ After gaining my humanity I declared myself as such”.
“Gaining your humanity, what does that mean”? Riki was unsure of what Elif meant by gaining her humanity, as everyone has their own thoughts and opinions. Handing Heinrike’s cell phone back to her as she had gained all of the knowledge she desired from the device. “ It means exactly what it sounds like, while you and other humans might be the bright side of your species. You cannot hide the darker side of yourselves no matter how hard you try”. Turning and walking away from Heinrike, “ Thank you for teaching me and showing me a new world I have never dreamed of, but this is where we part ways. I’m sure your friend is waiting for you”. With those last few words Elif slinked into the thick brush, leaving Riki to her own devices.
She wanted to stop Elif and ask her a few more question, and try to see if she could help her. However, she knew about the stories of these woods and she even had a run in with the so called monster of the woods. Riki knew that if she made a mistake she might have been killed by the sweet and innocent looking plant like girl. Not pressing forward she took Elif’s advice and went in search of her now Ex Boyfriend.
