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.

”I’m not asking you to do it.” he said trying to enjoy the steak as he took another bite. ”I’ll do it.” he offered again. Another bite and an aggressive cut with a knife. Misguided or not she still took Becca’s powers away, took Kalos’s powers away. To Sam it was like taking a piece of them and leaving whatever was left. They were still them. Just less.
”I didn’t promise Becca. Sides I’m pretty sure I’m always on her **** list. Give her a reason to keep me there.” he tried to smile but then felt it was forced. Sam looked down to the steak that was practically bleeding. His stomach growled and he took another bite.
”Even if she’s the victim we still got a job to do. I don’t want that happening to anyone else ever again. If they are capable of that... I don’t want them to figure out what else they can do.” he said mulling over his thoughts with a gulp of coffee.
Sam heard the words and nodded understanding her meaning, ”Yeah, you’re looking a little doughy. A run into the city might do you some good. Fresh air, a little exercise. Just need that location.” he said offering a supportive smile this one wasn’t forced. ”I can call a couple squad cars to meet us... though if they are as bad as you say, they might have some people that could tip them off.” he didn’t want anyone to see this coming.
The air around them chilled a bit more as he mentally prepared.
Maya had made a promise to Becca not to hunt Aoife down and strangle her. It was a hard promise to make. Not that Maya was generally murderous... but this time, she was stunned to find out new things about herself. Like how she did not hate the idea of hurting someone who had hurt her family.

That... sounded like a pretty big loophole. And Sam looked like he meant it, too. It would not be his first foray outside of the realm of Lawful Good, as he was every bit as protective of his chosen family as Mirror. And even if Aoife was off limits for whatever questionable reason (some people could not be redeemed), the rest of the cult definitely needed to be checked.

"I... think we might have to do it on our own." Maya said cautiously, looking at him. "If they are as powerful a cult as they seem, they are gonna have connections. And we... we are still a vigilante team. We can't drag the law into this until we know what we are dealing with."

Sam took another bite of his steak and chewed quickly probably enjoying the selected free range slab of beef less than he should have. While he was hungry the conversation was starting to sour his appetite. Maya was hurting, which meant he was hurting.
”Good call. It also means a certain someone won’t show up or call us to tell us not to do something.” he said grinning a little more sinisterly than should be possible for someone who was supposed to be a ‘good guy’. ”Not like anyone could stop us anyways.” he said placing his dishes in the sink.
”Well, whenever you are ready. I’ll gather some materials together.” he said nodding his head, ”Enjoy the rest of that steak, might be a long night for us. I’ll meet you out front. Maybe just tell Becca you are going on patrol to ‘clear’ your head.” he said offering up the potential lie.
