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.

Anything you can do I can do better (Marisol/Sveta)
The tone of the conversation was lightening. The blonde had no qualms with Marisol being an adapted, which meant Marisol was only worried about her newfound identity as a weird stalker girl.
The lightness and the chuckling was offset by the rumors the older woman was concerned about. According to her, there was some organization traveling between worlds to kidnap mutants. It sounded like the kind of boogeyman story mutant parents told mutant children, or conspiracy theorists spread online. Still, the story was enough to rattle the Russian and in a world where rips in space were a reality, could those concerns be dismissed so easily?
Regardless of how legitimate the rumor was or not, Marisol still caused the woman anxiety. ”I’m really sorry, ma’am. I’m definitely not one of them, but if they’re real, should I warn my mutant friends and family?” She was still unsure, but if there was a real organization kidnapping mutants, she would hate to see them take Celeste, Alice, or Jorge. Speaking of her uncle, actually, ”If this is real, would the X-Men know? They deal with that kind of thing, right?” Marisol was not oblivious to her uncle’s secondary job; the X-Men were well-known and deputized to deal with mutant-related problems and problems related to mutants. The mystery organization sounded like both.
Okay, so the initial tension was gone. Sveta was still not sure why she was carrying a conversation with a teenage actress, but now that she was, she was going to try and turn the whole awkward situation to her advantage. Maybe it was a chance to start some rumors without an origin point. She looked genuinely concerned about her mention of SUPER.
>>”I’m really sorry, ma’am. I’m definitely not one of them, but if they’re real, should I warn my mutant friends and family?”
Mutant friends and family. Well, that was a start...
>>"If this is real, would the X-Men know? They deal with that kind of thing, right?”
"Dey might" Sveta nodded "Also the MRC, but I doubt they will do anything without a good reason to. This organization... is funded by the government. On the other side, I mean." she sighed "And they go after adapteds too, not just mutants. Anyone with an ability." she gave the girl a serious, somewhat threatening look "But you did not hear this from me."

Not only was there supposedly a shadowy organization kidnapping mutants, they were also funded and sanctioned by the other world’s government. The idea of government exploitation and imprisonment of mutants made Marisol sick to her stomach. Celeste was more politically active than she was, but everyone should have been opposed to unfair, unethical treatment of anyone.
”That’s terrible! I’ll… I don’t know. My friend is part of a bunch of activist groups. Maybe she’ll know how to spread the word.” Marisol’s resources were limited and Celeste was just one of the many supporters of those activist groups on social media, but if there was any chance the blonde was telling the truth, she knew Celeste would want to do whatever she could.
It was hard to decide if she believed the older woman, but her tone was so serious, she seemed to believe the threat was real. She distanced herself from the story, but that did not necessarily mean she was lying. If one thing was made very clear from the start, it was that the Russian had no desire to cross paths with the organization she was talking about. She did not want Marisol tying her to the information, which was going to be easy. ”I mean, I don’t know your name. What was I gonna say? Some blonde lady in a bathroom told me?”
Marisol stopped for a moment to reassess her tone. ”That was rude. Sorry. Didn’t hear it from you. Got it.”
>>”That’s terrible! I’ll… I don’t know. My friend is part of a bunch of activist groups. Maybe she’ll know how to spread the word.”
Activist groups. That was a good start. The girl was probably still too scared of her to look into details, but at least the idea was out there now, and it did not paint too nice a picture of SUPER. It was a start. Sveta did not want to put any more than that on the girl. As long as she did not tell where the information came from.
>>”I mean, I don’t know your name. What was I gonna say? Some blonde lady in a bathroom told me?... That was rude. Sorry. Didn’t hear it from you. Got it.”
"Right." Sveta sighed. She really wanted to go back to the Have apartment and stay there. "Well... take care of yourself. And don't follow random people around, okay?" She hesitated for a moment, before she walked out of the bathroom.
She was sure the girl had learned a lesson, and she doubted they would meet again.
