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.

To those that knew Akshay, the fact that he actually did love his family would come off as just the tiniest bit surprising. Given the fact that he regularly cheats on his husband and gives himself more hours at work than trying to work on their relationship should be an indication that he is not a man who would actually give a damn. Truth was that he really and truly did; but there was the one fall in which he thought himself to be a piece of **** who didn’t deserve any of it. It was cowardice, really, the reason why he didn’t just end thing and release Bruce back into the single life. Cowardice and fear.
But Akshay didn’t let those things sink in too deeply. Talking about Maddox tended to brighten his mood a bit. The kid really did mean a lot to him, even if he didn’t always make it appear that way. Talking about him immediately brought a smile too his face as he began to imagine the boy’s antics, the kind that would make anyone just smile and say “awwww”. The best one that came to mind was the fact that he wanted to be a speed boat when he grew up.
>> "Well, maybe his mutant power will be turning into a speed boat."
Though Svetlana smirked at the comment, her own comment had induced a kind of awkward pause between them. Akshay could only guess what she thought of how SUPER treated kids, especially when there was the chance that they could end up as mutants. To be fair, it was a fear of Akshay’s. As much as he loved his son, he didn’t want to think what would happen if he turned out to be a mutant, much less a powerful one like a psychic. That thought had kept him up at night, especially with every year the kid got older.
”Yeah…” he responded weakly. He spooned the last off the Jell-O into his mouth and remained silent and thoughtful. After a second, Svetlana raised her voice to him again.
>>"He sounds like a nice kid."
He nodded. He raised his eyes to Svetlana again, sharing a small, awkward smile. But as he did, he could clearly see the glow of her mutant signature getting brighter. He winced a bit before he finally reached into the pocket of his hoodie. ”Excuse me,” he said softly. Opening the bottle, he winced harder, dropping a pair of pills into his open hand before putting them into his mouth and swallowing with a hardly gulp of water. He looked up to Svetlana and shrugged his shoulders as he closed his pill bottle and slipped it back into his pocket. ”Migraines.”
Sveta would have lied if she said she did not mean that comment to be passive-aggressive. She was still angry at Akshay, in a way, not really for what he had done, but rather for what he had been doing, or what he was. It was not entirely fair, but fair was the furthest thing from her mind, as she was still carrying on the conversation hoping to vent some frustration. But even so, all those things considered, she could tell from the look on Akshay's face that her comment might have gone too far. They sat in awkward silence, Sveta poking at her salad. He gave her an out with a small smile, but the flow of the banter was irrevocably broken now, and from how he popped some pills, he was probably ready to call it a day too. Sveta sighed, finishing her food, before she stood up.
"Well... thanks, anyway." she said, her smile, too, a little awkward "Should I... go back to my cell alone, or do you have to escort me?..."
She wondered what the pills were for. Was it really migraines? Or was it related to his powers somehow?
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!

It seemed that whatever middle ground that they had found was now soundly ruined. It really wasn’t anyone fault, mind you, it was simply a reminder of the situation that they were both in. This was a facility that used mutants, that recruited them for the purposes of battling those that resist conformity. Akshay was one of those mutants who would be labeled a traitor and Svetlana was a stronger resister. It was only a matter of time before that clear line in the sand was stepped on and they would be reminded of their place in the grand scheme of the world.
Unfortunate, though, because even for the briefest of moments, it truly felt as if they had reached a point of peace. There was no facility, not looming agency, just two people sharing a small light in spite of their circumstances. It was short lived, but it wouldn’t be forgotten. Akshay closed his eyes, thinking on Maddox and the world he was building with Bruce. Part of him felt a little sick to his stomach but he pushed past it in order to remind himself that he was doing this for the greater good. He had to ensure that the world that Maddox would grow up in would be a good one.
And if he turned out to be a mutant? So far Akshay didn’t see that flicker of orange light within his cells, but that was understandable considering that he was so young. But every day that passed he hoped and he prayed that it would remain that way. Only time would tell.
>> "Well... thanks, anyway…Should I... go back to my cell alone, or do you have to escort me?..."
Lifting his head from his thoughts, Akshay sighed as he stood up, wiping his mouth with a napkin. The dishes would be picked up by the workers so he stepped away from the table and moved to Svetlana’s side. With a low voice, he nodded to her. ”Come on,” he said with no real emotion in his voice. ”I’ll take you back.”
