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.

Zaid's brain was processing what she was saying. It was traveling slowly through his thoughts, meeting resistance when it entered his heart, but reaching there nonetheless. Every instinct in his body was to defend those around him from the own dangers he saw. He was a bunny with nothing to give but himself: his heart, his dreams, his happiness. He just didn't know how to hold back.
It reminded him of the legend his mother used to tell when he was a boy. There was an otter, a monkey, a fox, and a rabbit all called to practice charity on the day of the full moon. They were told great giving would have a great reward, and were eager to do their best. That day, an old man came and begged for food. The monkey gathered fruit, the otter gathered fish, and the fox stole a lizard to feed the old man. Having nothing to give, the rabbit threw himself on the fire, offering his own body. The man proved to be the ruler of heaven, so the rabbit was unharmed, but he was so touched by the rabbit's action he placed the rabbit's image on the moon to honor him. Zaid's mother often told him he was like that little bunny, who had nothing but still wanted to give. A little bunny tirelessly working, trying to be a comfort to those around him.
Thinking of that and having Andrea touch his hand brought comfort. Her words mixed with memories, and his eyes felt heavy. "The rabbit in the moon... He whispered to himself. "She always said I was just the rabbit in the moon...Now she's the one up there watching instead." He didn't realize his eyes fluttered shut, hand wrapping around Andrea's in a tight grip. He didn't care she had snakes on her head, or was green, or any of the things other people saw. He just found what felt like a vapor of the family he had been missing. She had helped him, but that stubborn little rabbit still just wanted to protect her instead.
Aw, if that wasn't just one of most beautiful things...
She felt her heart swell a little for him, and gripped his hand back as he nodded off into a well deserved rest beside her. Truthfully, Andrea wasn't used to prolonged physical contact with people... she tended to avoid it when she could, and constantly needing to wear gloves helped the process quite a bit. It was hard to get close to people... harder yet to open up.
Elliot was the closest she had come to inviting someone into her life, and Amon. That suave, handsome man had totally ghosted her though. It had hurt her more than a little that yet again a potential suitor had been run off after explaining her powers to him.
But here, with this new friend she seemed to have created, she... didn't feel she needed to really worry all that much.
While he slept she basked in the warmth of his hand. She soaked up the quiet environment that was not her study, nor her work.
She allowed herself hesitantly to reach out and stroke one of his ears, then fluff his hair in an endeared sort of way.
This reminded her on some level of the past when she had last held a loved one in her arms, brushed the hair from his little face, and hummed a lullaby to lull him to sleep.
She allowed herself a little bit, just a short while, to relax next to Zaid and just...be.
