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.

>>”Hey, things have been turning up gold for us lately. Why not be a little hopeful? And if he ghosts you again? I have no qualms hunting a guy down.”
Sveta laughed at the offer, but she knew that Nate would do it if things got serious that was. Maybe if he had done it before, she would have found out sooner that Matt was in jail. They would never know now, and she hoped she would not need that kinda help from a friend again.
>>”Really though… we’re gonna be good, right? We’ve survived a hell of a lot. I think we’ve got this, yeah?”
Nate sounded like it was not a rhetorical question. That's what friends were for, right? Mutual reassurance?
"It's funny, isn't it? We fought literal monsters, evil governments, and a parallel universe, and we are worried about parenting and dating now... When did that get scary?"
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Even for mutants with superpowers and checkered pasts, adulthood was a scary proposition. ”Well, we got used to the other stuff. I’m still coming to terms with the fact that I survived long enough for this real-life stuff to matter,” he joked.
Relaxing in the seat, somehow he did feel better about the choice he was making. He had been a criminal, a teacher, a shadow organization organizer, and a halfway decent friend. He got through that with the support of friends like Sveta.
He would do that with this next chapter, too. He would make it a point to keep in touch with Sveta. They would visit for major events, weddings (hopefully), and maybe just when it had been too long since a visit and a night of drinking. ”Yeah,” he said more confidently, smirking at the future ahead of them. ”Worst comes to worst, we’ll make it up as we go.”
