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.

Ranger chuckled, ”Fancy toys can help get jobs… Until their upkeep costs push y’r rates up above what the clients want t’ spend. The helimonsters I’d get tend t’ need more maintenance man hours than the flight hours y’ get. I don’t do things by half measures. Buy once, cry once.”
”Here’s my trick f’r dealing with royals. Don’t treat ‘em any different. I seem t’ remember America fought a war so we wouldn’t have t’ care about them.” Ranger shrugged and added, ”I figure if everyone stopped carin’ they’d learn t’ stop whinin’. Maybe.” She had no hate for the princess, she simply wasn’t impressed by her being from a royal family and she was certainly less than impressed when she tried to say it like it meant something. Being an ambassador, that mattered though.
”Yeah, he just needs t’ get that bird thing he does under control. I met him when he freaked out in Central Park an’ got himself shot… By a tranquilizer.” Then changing topic slightly, What uh, what kind of music does he play? I’m guessin’ somethin’ Irish.”
According to sam there wasn’t much being done about the sudden appearance of wizards. Ranger wasn’t expecting some kind of strike operation being planned, but intelligence operations at the very least. Maybe that was beyond the X-Men’s normal capacity. Blowing things up was easier and the city was already built to be Big Brother’s wet dream. NYPD could likely handle that. ”Anyone watchin’ ‘em. New power on the block, first thing we hear is kidnappin’s. Doesn’t leave me thinkin’ they’ll be a great benefit to society.” Ranger thought for a second, ”Intel is the name of the game. Need either someone on the inside ‘r someone who can slip in unnoticed… That’re go the old fashioned way an’ plant bugs… What’s that old line? ‘Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.’ Until we know what’s goin’ on, likely better t’ keep an eye on ‘em an’ plan t’ hit back if worst comes t’ worst.”

”They should expect hire rates.” she paused and covered Iris’s ears with his hands, ”You got a ****ing helicopter.” he said the curse a little bit softer. Neither kid was old enough to pick up on the word. At least she hoped, Sam didn’t be the one to get the kids to start swearing. That would definitely keep him on Becca’s **** list.
”Yeah I got a similar approach.” Sam said. It was different than his younger self’s though. So far he had been great at avoiding them. Kate didn’t count, she was only a duchess. ”Avoid them. I don’t piss them off they don’t ask me to ‘fetch some grapes’.” she might have raised her nose a bit and threw her hand up as to signal someone.
Someone looked over and Sam shook her head dismissing the someone. She didn’t want to get attention like that. Actually she didn’t really want any attention. It was the reason she was wearing baggy clothes. Carrick, they were talking about Carrick. ”Heard about that. Said a guy in a cowboy hat shot him.” Sam gave Ranger a head shake, ”Well thanks for keeping them out of trouble. I take it you met the princess then.”
”Irish on patty’s day. Reason I wanted to get him booked. Brings in some crowds, also plays whatever you want him to. Like a jukebox. Honestly, he skips class all the time I’m just assuming he plays all day.” Sam said shrugging, the kid just needed to figure out what he was doing it wasn’t Sam’s decision to make.
”Looking in to it. Feel free to shake some stuff down for me. I’m only just finding out about all this. One minute nothing, next all over the place. Makes me think they were trying to keep a low profile till they had the numbers and now that we know about them? Kinda hard to pinpoint where and when.” Sam said shrugging again but adding a little lift for Iris.
”Pretty good at keeping their mouth shut too. No one wants to talk and I’m supposed to be a good guy so I’m not supposed to ‘encourage’ them.” thus was his problem. He didn’t mind not doing that though. Sam was trying to make up for his past. As much as he hated the red tape he was also pretty happy for it. Situationally of course.
Sam chewed his words, ”Turns out the diplomates power was to create gems, ones the magic folks could use to channel power. Didn’t get much else out of them. Fly boy turned and stopped all conversations pretty quick.” they valued Gems, that was a start. Sam made note to check into to see if any pawn shops or jewelry stores lost any merchandise. Or she could finally ask Carrick about how they found out what the princess could do. Maybe she could find out if the kid had been stealing the special order steaks as well.
”Every place that was used as a base of operations was pretty much vacant when I found out about it. Other wise I’d have a bit more to go on. Still not sure how they recruit either.” she sighed again, ”Can’t imagine they are all bad though, hope not at least. More headache than I want.” headaches make her want to drink.
”That you’re way of saying you got a file on me?” she chuckled. They never fought or sparred. While Sam was curious he’d prefer not to piss off his pit master. Sam had too much to learn still with grilling.
