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.

"That's because we made them believe so, besides, his immaturity is nearly unbelievable. Who reacts that way over a cup of coffee?" Larraine's instincts to trust this woman made her seem more compassionate than usual, especially for the ordinarily pessimistic acting teenager. She glanced in the direction of Celestina, listening to her words in gratitude. "Radiation? I suppose we both have powers that are hard to control.. I would give anything to have a normal life. But there's always hope for us, right?" She wouldn't believe her words, she would simply say them to create an illusion, a fake representation of herself; someone who she once longed to be.
They wanted toward the library, going through short-cuts, as she wouldn't want anger to be expressed towards her; especially towards someone who is a 'bigot', or at least that is how Celestina described them. Larraine thought of them as human. "I'm your new favourite librarian volunteer, huh? ..I have never been described as anybody's favourite anything." She blushes with a grim smile on her face, staring ahead, arriving closer to the library with each turn; with Celestina's explanation of how she once harmed students in her class without meaning to, caused flashbacks in her mind as she once had been in the same position. "I guess we're more similar than I once thought." She sighed.
At first, Larraine hadn't realized her question, but after snapping out of her daze she would shortly respond to it. "I have heard about it once before," Larraine spoke in an unsure manner. "I thought about joining, and perhaps I still want to.. But I don't even know how to join, or if they would accept me." She gushed with insecurity, pondering about the possibilities that she would harm another person, a friend - accidentally as she has done so before. "I'm getting older by the second, and I feel as if my chances are slowly being ruined by my surroundings; there's so much that I want to do, but there's so little time." Larraine moped, bringing herself from her pessismistic thoughts to stare towards Celestina. "Maybe I should try? I don't know.."
Celestina nodded her agreement. It was crazy unbelievable and immature. But, people react differently over some pretty crazy things. One time she was in a drive thru at McDonalds in Canada and a guy started cussing her out. It didn’t really make sense, but the guy probably had some type of issue and was just taking it out on her. She had done the same thing to others.
She smiled and nodded, patting her on the back. “Larraine, you can have a normal life. You will have a normal life. A normal life can include embracing your abilities.” She gave her a smile. Celeste truly believed the words that she said – Larraine was going to have one. It took time for all the pieces to fall together, but eventually she would. It took a long time for Celeste’s life to fall into place, but here she was. She was thriving despite only being in the U.S. for about half a year.
She smiled, “You are. Well, there’s always a time for a first,” she teased. Hopefully, she wouldn’t take any offense to the small playful joke. Celeste doubted that was true, but some people have some pretty heart-breaking background. She nodded, “We are.”
She nodded slowly as she listened to Larraine explain that she had, indeed, heard of the Institute. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to join, or if they even would accept her. Celeste chewed her lip as she thought of the best way to reply to the young woman. She waited for the woman to stop speaking as she continued to explain her thoughts to Celeste.
Celeste nodded and made a couple mhmms as she spoke until Larraine trailed off, not knowing what she really should do. Celeste took a breath, “Well. First, let me tell you they will accept you. I know they will – that’s a big reason of why they exist. If you can’t control your powers, they will help you learn how too. If you are dangerous, they will help you become less dangerous. It’s kind of their job. I was lucky because I was able to train myself during my youth. You should go. It will help you get started on the right track, put a roof over your head, give you the ability to learn how to master your abilities.” She smiled, “I really think it will be worth it, Larraine.”
Larraine was content with the atmosphere, with her company - despite it being probable that the day may end with her life in shambles, and her covering herself with newspaper as rain poured down onto her; she was elevated over both Celestina's words and the possibility of her entering a new chapter within her life. Hopefully, there wouldn't be too many individuals similar to the man they encountered earlier along the way.
Celestina's contact with her soothed her being, although she often didn't receive comfort or any sort; just bypassers offering her sympathy that wasn't needed to her. As similar as they were, after several instances of failure, Larraine doubted whether she would truly be accepted into society once again. "All I have ever tried to do is embrace my abilities," she sighed. "It's nearly hopeless at this point. I cannot always control my powers, sometimes they're more dangerous than I have shown you - I can accidentally hurt people by even being near them."
She laughs, "There's a first for everything - using your powers to harm a guy in a coffee shop. That's definitely a first. At least for me, anyway." It evidently was detected that Larraine didn't mind the joke whatsoever, she seemed to be calmer the further they distanced themselves away from the coffee shop. Maybe it was due to the fact that Larraine was too focused on slurping down the drink and listening to Celestina's words to react negatively in the moment.
She felt apologetic that Celestina had to bare with her, listening to her as she spoke before apologizing. "Sorry." Larraine said. "Sorry for telling you all of my baggage from the start." She paused, drinking mouthfuls of the coffee that she had ordered earlier. "But thank you, thank you for caring - maybe we could check it out, together." She smiled as they arrived outside the library, allowing Celestina to enter as she finished her drink.
