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.

Margo had never been an outdoor kind of girl. She appreciated the beauty of nature, sure. Blue skies and rustling leaves on trees were fine things to write poetry about, or to observe rushing by from the window of a train. That was not to say that she had ever seen herself as the kind of person who would immerse herself in nature, say on a day’s hike through the mountains, or the kind of person who would enjoy such an adventure immensely… yet here she was.
It was a lovely day. The forecast had been slightly cloudy, but for now the sky was clear. Margo and Richard— because who else would she go on these adventures with, besides her outdoorsy big brother?— hiked through the woods, climbed numerous flights of stone steps, and walked along cliffs overlooking breathtaking waterfalls. Margo paused at a particularly spectacular one, letting the wind blow mist into her face.
“Wow.”
Margo had never been an outdoor kind of girl, but she had a feeling that today was going to change all that.

It was good to be back in the city of New York. What was that song from the movie "Friends with Benefits"? "something something... New Yorrrrrk". But as much as Richard liked the city, there was just nothing that could compare with the outdoors. Hills covered with green, the smell of the trees, the damp earth after a rain, the calming sounds of a river rushing along its path, the cooling, refreshing spray from a waterfall. Against these things, no city could compete.
It was Richards suggestion. He was more than slightly mortified when he realised taht it had been almost a year since he had last seen Margo. The last time they had gone on a brother sister date, Richard had rented a car (it had cost him the mother of all favors, but it was worth it). It has been a wonderful evening, but still a year.
Margo had texted him and he had immediately suggested an outing, somewhere they could unplug from their lives. He had been so caught up with work and family affairs and she, according to her texts, had just finished school. So he had proposed a hike in the mountains and could practically hear the excited squeal that always made him smile as she agreed.
They reached a waterfall and Richard smiled as he heard Margo exclaim
>"Wow".
"And that is why I love the outdoors." Richard said smiling.
He came up behind her and gave her a strong bear hug.
"Oh I have missed you Margo. I have missed you so much."
He spun them around gently. Then held her at arms length to get a good look at her.

Richard said something about loving the outdoors. Right now, with the wind blowing spray from the waterfall into her face and the blue sky stretching out above them and the smell of the trees all around them, Margo could certainly see why.
“I've missed you too. So much.” It was the truth. She smiled at the scenery as he came up behind her and gave her a strong hug, and then at her brother himself as he spun her around and held her at arm’s length to look at her.
It had been over two years since they had met, at the coffee shop where Margo still worked. She had been fifteen. He had been nice, equally geeky, and willing to step in as the big brother she’d always wanted to have. It was shocking to her sometimes, to look back on all the memories she'd made and realize that if she hadn't been an irresponsible employee that one afternoon, they might have never met.
“What are you thinking about?” Margo prompted, as they continued to look at each other.

Margo was smiling, when she was really happy there was this sparkle in her eyes. Richard could not look at that and not smile.
>“I've missed you too. So much.”
What big brother's heart would not melt at such a statement, especially coming from ones, albeit surrogate, little sister.
>“What are you thinking about?”
Richard realized that he was still holding Margo, he gently placed her down still but kept his hands on her shoulders. With a warm smile and an answering sparkle in his eye he answered her.
"I was thinking about how how we met and all that has happened since then." He said with much fondness.
"The first time we met at that coffee shop and I thought you were a fellow customer. We talked about Wooooosters." He smiled. "Then I saved you from becoming a drowned rat." He chuckled. "You hardly knew me then, I was surprised you accepted the lift. Then there was the date...ahh the amazing date, theater and all that." Richard sighed. That had been a wonderful evening. He had not wanted it to end. He had secretly always wanted a little sister and it seemed that fate had granted his wish. "Then there was helping out at the disaster site. So many memories." And all of them happy. Richard was content.
His face turned mock serious. "Eight months Margo! Eight Months! We have not seen each other in eight months. I am a poor excuse for an older brother indeed for letting so much time go by. So how are you? How have you been?"
Richard said hugging her again. He was not expecting a detailed report, well not a really detailed one, but he did want to here all about what had happened.
