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.

Gawain poured two glasses of orange juice, and matter-or-factly dropped the news that he was going to be a parent. It took Sam a moment to process it, or put two and two together, but when he did, his reaction was indeed priceless.
>>”You’re gonna be a parent… great guess I’m gonna have to do even… HOLY @@@@”
Gawain grinned and laughed as Sam scooped him up into an actual hug this time. He was clearly, honestly happy about the news, and it made Gawain feel happy too. He would, after all, have Sam back before the baby arrived. The future was definitely looking brighter... and sharing the news made them feel more real as well. He was going to be a parent.
>>”Dude! That’s awesome! Wait you’re pregnant or is Becca pregnant?”
Gawain huffed.
"Do I look pregnant to you, Sam?!" he stepped back pointing at his midsection "It's Becca, you moron. She's like five months along. And the kid is already a handful. Active mutation. Giving Becca random powers every day. Today, she has goat legs. Don't stare."

”Obviously I didn’t mean you you. Maya you.” he said trying not to laugh when Gawain gestured. ”Dad bod sure you but I didn’t want to assume anything.” Sam said shrugging and looking at the bacon again.
”Right, the younger me probably knew.” Sam said rolling his eye and flipping the eggs and catching them on a plate. He repeated until all that was left to finish cooking was the bacon. Which only took a another minute.
” Active already though? Crazy. I had to wait till I was five.” he smirked, ”Goat legs? Heh.” Sam pulled the bacon with his iced over fingers and put them on the plate then killed the heat.
The icemancer slid the plate to Gawain and grabbed his juice and offered mocked cheers. ”I’ll just tell her it’s harder to see with one eye again.” Sam said jealous that his youth with two eyes was something he didn’t remember. He bit into the bacon, ”The powers are manageable right?” he asked curiously. He missed bacon.
Sam was still a bit turned around from suddenly being an adult again, it seemed. As if Mirror would ever get pregnant. From whom? That was a thought Gawain did not want to entertain.
>>”Obviously I didn’t mean you you. Maya you. Dad bod sure you but I didn’t want to assume anything. Right, the younger me probably knew.”
"He did. Wasn't this excited about it though." Gawain noted with a smirk. God, it was good to have real Sam back.
>>”Active already though? Crazy. I had to wait till I was five."
"Yeah. Got it from me. At least it's pretty clear they are mine." Gawain grinned with some of the pride of a newly minted (albeit somewhat terrified) father. They sat down to eat, sharing the bacon and eggs.
>>"Goat legs? Heh. I’ll just tell her it’s harder to see with one eye again... The powers are manageable right?”
"Holy shit, no" Gawain shook his head, munching on some bacon "I mean... yeah, we're managing them, but it's basically a daily roulette of WTF. Nothing very... strong or useful. Just weird things like goat legs, or feathers, or glowing skin... Baby's gonna be a handful. We found out Becks was pregnant when she woke up as a harpy. Eve guessed it first..." Gawain blinked "Oh, that's right. Evelyn is back. De-aged. She's like eight years old. Evil little bastard. Your younger self kinda adopted her. Good luck with that."

His younger self probably thought it was more than a curse than a blessing. Having been a teenager once he knew the scariest thing about being young was kids and being trapped he didn’t understand or could even fathom how great it was to have kids. He didn’t have kids. He had to remind himself that. His weren’t real. ”Takes a few years to grow up. Kids are a blessing.” he said with a sincere smile.
Sam inhaled the eggs making them last on the plate for seconds before he took his time with the bacon. He loved bacon. Sam took a bite and chewed, ”Hope it would be clear it’s yours otherwise I might need to have a conversation with Becca.” Sam smirked into another bite.
”Could be worse.” Sam said shrugging, ”Least she isn’t waking up in flames burning your bed down. Goat legs, feathers and glowing seem like an inconvenience but still better than what it could be.” he grinned trying to imagine Becca as a satyr.
”Eve’s back?” Sam asked smirking, he always liked Eve, she was nice it was a little awkward for Sam when they split, he didn’t like to feel like he was picking one friend for another. As long as everyone was happy so was he. ”De-aged too?” he immediately felt sorry for her glad he wasn’t an eight year old again. If Gawain thought his teenage self was a handful his eight-year-old self was a nightmare. Cold and calculating nightmare. ”Evil? You speaking as an ex-boyfriend/girlfriend or just in general?” he asked trying not to think of adopting anyone else.
”I’m sure I’ll be fine. I’m good with kids.” he said into his bacon knowing he was going to have to track down young Eve. ”Sounds like you had your hands full.” he took another bite of bacon.
>>”Takes a few years to grow up. Kids are a blessing.”
We'll see.
Mirror was happy to be a parent. He was happy to be a parent for real this time, and to do it with Becca, and to do it under fairly decent circumstances with a roof over their head, and food to eat, and jobs to do, and Kalos to have around for extra cuteness. Sure, Mirror did not have the first clue about actually raising a child, but then again neither did anyone else until they tried.
>>”Hope it would be clear it’s yours otherwise I might need to have a conversation with Becca.”
Gawain smirked over a bite of bacon. As if there could have been any question.
>>”Could be worse. Least she isn’t waking up in flames burning your bed down. Goat legs, feathers and glowing seem like an inconvenience but still better than what it could be.”
"Yeah. Um. Remind me to tell you about the corrosive sweat. By the way, new beds are a Mansion expense, right?"
Expense or not, that was not the only news Gawain had to break to Sam. There was also the matter of Evelyn. Maybe she had re-aged too? He'd have to go check on that.
>>”Eve’s back? De-aged too? Evil? You speaking as an ex-boyfriend/girlfriend or just in general?”
"Please. I'm speaking as someone who had to deal with a seven-year-old kid with the brains of a super computer, and no moral development just yet." Gawain would not have been vindictive about an ex. He wasn't really vindictive about a kid either, but Young Eve was a menace for sure.
>>”I’m sure I’ll be fine. I’m good with kids... Sounds like you had your hands full.”
"You. Have no idea." Gawain sighen, running his free hand through his hair. "Don't let this go to your head, but I'm so glad to have you back. Teenage you kinda hated me."

With bacon in in his mouth Sam mumbled the words when Gawain asked him to remind you. That sounded painful and expensive. He finished chewing the meat and took a sip of his orange juice. ”They are, however you get a limit. Just start using the rubber sheets, they have a high tolerance when it comes to corrosion.” he half joked, ”Imagine your happy to see those goat legs means less danger for you.” he laughed at Gawain’s expense and sipped his coffee now.
”That is a problem.” he agreed with him in regards to Eve she was brilliant and her powers made it impossible for her to forget anything. If she wasn’t worried about morality it could lead to her remembering something she might not want to down the line. Maybe he’d have to keep an eye out for her.
Sam smirked when Gawain mentioned he was glad to have him back again. He ripped off a piece of bacon and tossed it into his mouth. ”I’m not sharing any more bacon.” he said half joking before laughing, ”You probably told him he couldn’t do something.” Sam said thinking about it,
”Surprised though, figured he would have tried to get along with Maya.” he laughed again, ”I’m just glad I didn’t kidnap anyone.” he said still relieved
Gawain would have to introduce Sam to Becca's strange pregnancy quirks. It was good to have a heads up about these kinds of things, and even Becca had not finished wholly mapping out all the mutation roulette yet.
>>”Just start using the rubber sheets, they have a high tolerance when it comes to corrosion. Imagine your happy to see those goat legs means less danger for you.”
"Good idea" Gawain nodded, deciding not to ask how Sam knew about the rubber sheets. "And hey, Becca is adorable no matter what." he added with the certainty of a significant other whose girlfriend was carrying their child and sprouting goat legs in the process.
>>”I’m not sharing any more bacon. You probably told him he couldn’t do something. Surprised though, figured he would have tried to get along with Maya... I’m just glad I didn’t kidnap anyone.”
"I told him not to do a lot of things. And yes, he did hit on Maya." Gawain rolled his eyes "And you did kinda kidnap people. Well, more like... went on a joy ride with the jet. Repeatedly. With Eve, with some child mutant, and some Atlantean royalty. Actually, I'm not even sure you deserve jet privileges anymore."

Sam smirked, not feeling right commenting on Gawain’s lady not that he had anything bad to say about her. ”At least you are having a kid with someone you are head over heels for. Me on the other hand. I got to figure out what the *** I got into and pray I’m a lucky ****.”
He stopped smirking, Eve, another kid and some royalty. ”Kate?” he asked thinking about the duchess briefly. Was she back now too? He was going to go through his contacts and see who was where. Clearly his younger self was more than a handful, but given Gawain not swinging on him every second he got he guessed turned out all right.
”Sorry about that. I was… at least a gentleman I’m sure.” he started to laugh, ”You got someone else who can fly better than me? Did I teach Eve at least?” the icemancer jerked his head a little cracking his neck. ”You plan on taking them from me. Feel like **** but I can still teach you something I’m sure.”
