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.

Blue had run out of things to burn in the bathtub to keep his anxiety at bay. He was holding a super hero towel, considering lighting that on fire next, but tossed it on the couch instead and growled unhappily.
None of this felt right. Juniper disappeared, but the way she did it seemed wrong. Blue didn't like the way his gut twisted and the constant warning of danger in his head. He knew that voice. He knew the instincts that usually kept him safe, so why was he refusing to listen to it? Something is wrong... Yeah, he knew that. But what could he do to fix it?
His powers felt useless. Blue let his head rest against a wall, leaving a little scorch mark. He couldn't track Juniper, or find her. The phone he used to contact her didn't get any responses. Not....not that he said much. An occasional 'hey' just to see if she would say something...
She needed space. Right? She needed time. She was still upset about life, and the cat, and he needed to let her be herself.
$%*^ it all... Blue left another black handprint on the wall and let the smell of smoke waft from it. Blueberry mewed unhappily. Blue absorbed the energy from the fire before the kitten was bothered too much.
It hadn't been a good day. Leaning against the hallway, he caught his breath for a moment, wiping dried blood from his forehead before putting pressure against the cut on his hairline again; it felt like it was about to open up again.
Letting his heart beat calm for a moment, he centered himself, and opened eyes that had been clamped shut. Why had she attacked him? Why would she do that? No... He'd told her to take care of him... Kill him?
When he'd landed in the sewers, he thought for a second he might actually be dead. He'd hit his head pretty bad down there, too, but he wasn't dead. Very confused for a moment. And then... Very worried.
The first thing he'd done after finding his way out of the sewers was head straight for the apartments. Juni had been trying to tell him something, showing off that collar, right? She'd shaken her head before heading into the alley as well. He'd just failed to see it.
No. It was that man. Something about him clouded his judgment. It didn't matter. He needed to find Juniper. She was unfortunately pretty difficult to find when she wanted to be. Best to start at her apartment. Maybe there would be some clue that would lead him to her. She needed his help.
Her front door was locked. He didn't need to check; it had seven locks on it and the person who lived there didn't even need to use doorknobs. He went in through the window, a quick hop out of the window of his own room lead him to the ledge that Clide had walked so many times before. It was open, like always.
What was that smell? Smoke! "Oh god! Juniper!" He forced her window the rest of the way open, the flew right into the center of the living room, cape billowing behind him as he skid to a stop mid air, eyes locked on the random man standing there. "Um... Who are..." He saw the black hand print on the wall, and drifted back just a bit defensively. "Are you here to hurt Juni?" Another hired assassin like that other time?
Was... Berry hanging out with him? Xavier's face twisted into a confused expression. What... exactly was going on here?
The last person Blue wanted to see welcomed himself through the window just as Blue was considering finding a park to burn down. The blond haired hero type stood open mouthed, cliche cape billowing in the wind. Blue wanted to laugh, to burst into uncharacteristic giggles at the very sight of this guy. Holy crap, wasn't he some anime Adonis with super powers to match. Suddenly life felt very unfair. Of course this was who lived next door. Of course this was Juni's real friend, the real guy she got in fights over and did everything to keep Blue from meeting.
"Guess brawn and brains really don't go hand in hand, do they? I live here hero. Come for your towel?" Blue turned so his back was resting on the wall, flames crawling along his back but leaving the building untouched. Well, minus the damage he already did. Blueberry sensed the heat leave, and mewed, hopping onto Blue's foot and trying to sit there. Dumb cat. It was hard to look like a tough villain with a kitten attached to you.
