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.

It had taken almost an hour after the fight to shrink. It had been gradual thing. Using it had helped grant them victory and avoid any deaths on their side, but she still felt dirty from the magics touch. Aura had few positive experiences with magic and today...well she still needed to process how she felt about the witch blood on that. She half expected to be suddenly yanked back to reality like had happened with the shared future dream where she had ripped apart Moscow with her father and Ghost, There she bat away tank shells and had lead an army fighting for Australia and in another she had been at the end of the world before a cockroach she had called friend ended it in nuclear fire, she even been thrown in the past and fought a Tyrannosaurus whose egg, Aura had cooked and partly eaten. Each time she had been ripped back to a time that made sense. Today seemed up there with those amazing and scary events but somehow felt more real.
Her aura was weak but functional and the pink outline around her rippled as she thought about how she felt about the day. She flipped open her cellphone and shot a text to Alex, simply saying she was alive and to stay with the others for now. Their were missing supremes out there and she would not been surprised if they did try and go for the kids still. She would hunt them down and tear each supreme limb from limb, not all mystics were evil she knew this but those ones, those supremes were all guilty save the one who had aided them. She had given Zek a massive arsenal of magic or at least that's what Aura understood.
It had the the biggest, most incredible battle she had ever known. She had honestly loved it, Malachi had been her equal with the magic boosts and it was rare for her to find someone who could fight her one one one like that. Had the Samurai not arrived, Aura had been considering killing Malachi by jumping on her blade. "My inked heart and my red father friends, i hope you are both proud of what i have become" she said to herself more loudly then she knew. She wanted Abyss or Allison here with her, but her family and friends were mostly missing or dead. It was funny the people still alive and she knew best had almost all lived in the ruins behind her.
The battle had just ended. Everything was a disaster. They had won... Maya suspected they had won, anyway. There were many injured and several mystics captured in the fight. The healers were working overtime. The Mansion was... gone. All of it. While Becca went to talk with the other mystics, all Maya could do was limp over to a pile of rubble and sit down, staring... at everything. Battles on this scale... she had never experience a battle on this scale.
She looked up at the voice, and saw Aura, back to her normal size, pink light flickering. Aura. Out of all people...
"Hey. You okay?" she called out to her. "That was... one hell of a power growth."
She turned quickly hearing the voice placing it only after her eyes laid upon her. A power growth was certainly away of putting it. She nodded. "It was an interesting power growth, though i'm very happy to be back to normal. Magic still makes my skin crawl" she said shaking her head before looking up at the sky a moment. "The battle reminded me of the old days in the woods and that....everyone i ever called family or was a close friend or i loved is either missing or dead except friend Lenna and Alex. Your the closest thing to family i have left and only then due to Alex." she said glancing at the ruins again almost by reflex. Her aura calmed as she say on what had once been a pillar.
"Are you all right, my Reflective friend? The battle has cost you much" she said referring to the Mansion which likely contained many things Mirror had valued. Aura also knew how she would of felt of Sanctuary had been destroyed she had thought about stabbing her stormy friend when he bought Sanctuary and had let humans live within its walls. Aura was also unsure if everyone had survived though she had heard of only injuries
>>"It was an interesting power growth, though i'm very happy to be back to normal. Magic still makes my skin crawl"
"Yeah." At the moment, Maya was not a big fan of magic. Sure, they had used it to win the battle in the end, but... it had changed everything. All the rules of engagement.
>>"The battle reminded me of the old days in the woods and that....everyone i ever called family or was a close friend or i loved is either missing or dead except friend Lenna and Alex. Your the closest thing to family i have left and only then due to Alex."
Maya blinked, looking at Aura as she sat next to her. Out of all the people in the world, Aura calling her family... was not even in the top ten weirdest things today. She also felt a pang of guilt. She had been through a lot.
>>"Are you all right, my Reflective friend? The battle has cost you much"
"Yeah... no." she sighed. Her injury was not major, but the toll the battle took... was a lot. "The Mansion is gone... This... whole sh*t show almost broke reality. Again. And I... don't even know where we are sleeping tonight."
Aura nodded and let out a sigh. "The Mansion's loss weighs on even me. it will be rebuilt but the soul of the new mansion will not be the same. In this way you have lost friend and i a former rival. I saw a few of our blood stripped of their powers.....and...The Mansion Null is going to be very busy. It is likely some of our people may have had to go further then they ever thought they would and i have seen that break people and i have seen it crush them under the weight." she said looking away for a moment.
"As for reality, we came close to losing it, but we are alive and as long as we are alive we can keep at least this city safe for our children. I have a second house you could use if you are willing to ignore some damage, old gang with some beef decided to very stupid. I left them alive though in need of a long hospital stay." she said adding the last line quickly knowing it would not be unreasonable to assume she had sent them to their maker. Their was no shortage of gangs who had taken an issue with Aura using them as training dummies in the past and some had even managed to repopulate in the proceeding decade.
"Our frozen friend may not like it, but if you need me i will lend what aide i can" she offerd though she was less sure Cold steel preferred that now. He seemed onboard with hunting the remaining Mystic leaders from the cult.
