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 nodded, filing Rex’s name away. It was always nice to have the names of officers in organizations. Someone to go to to cut through red tape when you needed it. So long as you didn’t burn the bridge at your first meeting.
”Hurt insofar as their power is gone. We suspect she’s in a lot of danger. We tracked the target here after narrowin’ our search t’ dear the mansion. Where the kid is.” Ranger said then looked at his phone, it had buzzed and there was a message connecting symbols on the key to pages in the book. ”Bastard is makin’ use of knowledge from bein’ NYPD t’ make trackin’ him hard. This was our best shot.” Ranger dropped the metal items on the pages, ”This might be our only lead now.”
The eyebrow inched higher. "The kid isn't injured, just can't use powers," he restated. "She's now at the mansion. Mutant mansion? The one with the X-Men?" That actually made part of Rex's mouth twitch in something like amusement. "But she's still in danger from a lone ex-cop." What on Earth were these people getting paid for? Rex suspected politics in play.
"So what was the crime then?" he asked, genuine curiosity and skepticism blended together in his voice. He wasn't a lawyer or a cop himself, but so far it didn't sound like anything had happened to warrant, well, a warrant.
By then Adkins had come back. He caught Rex's eye and gave a nod and an all-clear sign. Rex tipped his head slightly in acknowledgement. "Well it looks like you check out," he said, uncrossing his arms and reaching into his pocket to give Hunter the rest of the stuff from the table.
Isn’t injured. A child with a mutant power was no longer able to use her power and that meant uninjured?
”The detective had been usin’ his position t’ experiment on people with some power he has over mutant powers. If nothin’ else that’s assault an’ he did it under color of office. T’ me it sounds more like a breach of public health law.” the detective had not gotten informed consent in line with New York law.
Was Ranger seriously having that conversation? A man had messed with a child… and this firefighter was borderline flippant.
When the other firefighter came back and confirmed Ranger’s identity, Rex acknowledged it and handed Ranger the rest of the items that were collected from Sam’s work bench.
”Thank y’.” Ranger took the items and started taking pictures to forward. ”The attack on the little girl happened durin’ the mystic attack on the mansion. Not sure if related, but everyone is a little more on edge due t’ the detective hangin’ around near the mansion. Maybe what was left can help us cure the kid.”
Ah, now those other details made more sense for a manhunt. Rex assumed there was more to the story, but that seems a better explanation for all of this urgency. Experimenting on unwilling subjects and abuse of authority were serious indeed, even without involving a child. Rex grunted his acknowledgement of the argument.
The additional information just made Rex further...bemused wasn't the right word. Disbelieving? Puzzled? The attack on the X-Mansion happened nine months ago. Rex was there at Ground Zero. This wasn't a new case then. How was a man, even an ex-cop, able to evade the feds and the vigilante mutant group for most of a year? They knew he was hanging around the mansion, even!
What kind of imbecilic incompetence was in charge of this case or these organizations? Rex decided that after this, he'd reach out to his contacts in the NYPD and X-Men (both named Sam, ironically enough) to get a better idea of what was going on.
His part in all of this was over though.
"Good luck then," Rex said. "Sounds like you're going to need it." Because nobody involved clearly had the skills and abilities to handle this case, even if the case was indeed blown out of proportion. "You also need to go to the hospital and get your lungs checked out. You were up there for quite awhile and breathed a lot it. We still don't know what was happening to your body when got there. Have someone take a look at you. And for the love of God, stop antagonizing the EMTs!"
Rex waved the hovering EMT over but he didn't leave just yet. If Hunter was going to be a problem, Rex was going to deal with him.
