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.

Halloween had been a mess. Sveta, once again, was in the thick of it, kissing people she should not have kissed, for no good reason other than being around some freaky telepath that wanted to crash the party. Maybe it was time she just gave up on parties in general. Or crowds. Crowds never turned out well. Individual friends, like Nate, were way better.
>>"Does put a damper on the celebratory team high five, but I'm sure we will find a way to overcome. Regardless, when the s**t starts going down, I'm happy to know you'll have my back."
It was funny, but it was also genuine. Sveta smiled a little, sipping her drink. Nate was one of the few people she would into danger for; mostly because she knew that, regardless of his rogue demeanor, he would do the same.
>>"Though when hat day comes, please tell me you still have the mask."
Aaaand he had to ruin the moment.
Sveta arched an eyebrow.
"Entertaining Cold War spy fantasies, are we?" she grinned at Nate over her glass "Do you have your mask?"
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Nate was not a sentimental drunk. He was not drunk at all yet. He was enjoying his drink and the beginnings of his buzz, but not as much as he was enjoying the company. Sveta was used to things crashing around her and disconnecting with people. Nate was not inherently sappy, but he wanted to make sure an important person in his life understood what she was to him: important.
He did have to pull things back before alcohol set in and they got emotional. A little teasing never hurt, and they both knew he would never let her forget about the mask.
Turnabout was, of course, fair play. She asked about his mask, and Nate chuckled. "No mask, sadly. No need for it. I don't go around advertising it, but when I'm out and about, I'm wearing a full body morphsuit under my clothes." He smirked, wondering how she would even reply to that news without any additional explanation.
The whole mask and costume thing was a little ridiculous. Most vigilantes just ended up embracing it. Sveta had had various levels of costumes and uniforms in her life; because of her powers, mask was often not enough. There also had to be gloves, and gun holsters, and things that were... easy to take off. Yes, in retrospect, she could see where Nate was coming from with the innuendo. Not that he had grounds to judge.
>>"No mask, sadly. No need for it. I don't go around advertising it, but when I'm out and about, I'm wearing a full body morphsuit under my clothes."
Sveta blinked, then grinned.
"No way! Seriously?" she leaned forward a little, as if she was going to take a better look "Like, full on, Superior Man style?" she indicated with one hand, as if she was ripping her shirt open. The other hand was still holding her glass, although she had burned through quite a lot of the first drink already. "Wow, even I have not gone that far." she chuckled, downing the rest of her drink, then giving him a conspiratory look "Wait... Are you wearing it right now?"
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Nate had given Sveta far too much ammunition with that admission. He realized that now, but she was going bound to see him out in the field some day. It was best for her to get her giggles out now, and she seemed content to do just that.
Rolling his eyes, Nate set down his drink. ”Nothing so fancy, but I guess yeah, more or less the whole comic-y skintight look. Sorry to disappoint though.” Nate tugged at the collar of his t-shirt to reveal an exposed collarbone. ”I don’t just dress up in spandex at home for fun. Well, not alone, at least.” If he had company who would be into that, Nate was known for his adaptability, after all.
”Besides, at least the suit’s entirely practical. When I shift into a shadow, anything that isn’t skintight doesn’t come with me.” You had to make wardrobe decisions based around a power like that. ”You only have to learn that lesson once before you change your routine. I don’t need to be known as ‘the naked man who appeared at the scene’ when s**t goes down.”
