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.

Eaen winced as Fade made the comment about giving Deathstar a fist in the face. He had no doubt in his mind that Fade wouldn't give it to her pretty good if Deathstar prevoked her anymore than she already had, however he held onto the hope that maybe, possibly, there was a slight chance, if she's done acid in the past and cracks her back, that Deathstar would stop taunting Fade.
Though even the normally optimistic Eaen had to admit, things weren't looking very good.
<"Ah, sweet!">
'What are you going on about now?'
<"There's going to be a girl fight!">
Eaen rubbed his eyes, realizing he shouldn't have asked in the first place. Actually he had to stop himself from making a comment about how there wasn't any mud anywhere close by, but Miguel being inside his head, it was kind of hard for him to not find out.
<"I can deal without the mud. As long as one of them rips the other's shirt.">
'What the hell is wrong with you?? They're about to get into a brawl, and you're concerned about seeing a little bit more cleavage?'
<"Well, if you let me take over, I could split them up.">
'Aka, find them some of that mud you were babbling about earlier.'
<"You keep bringing that up. Stop it, you killed the joke the last time you said it.">
Eaen turned bright red as Miguel continued to irritate him but he quickly brought his focus back to the conflict before him. He began to fiddle with his ring again while he tried to think of a way to ease any of the tension currently in the room. Fade had been really nice to him earlier and he didn't want her to do anything that she might regret later.
"So..." Eaen started lamely. "I read this book earlier about the uhh... American Prostitution of the Hawaiian... people and their culture."
<"ahahahahahahaha...">
((btw, I'll explain the acid crack. =P I wasn't insinuating that Deathstar does acid, it was just to add to the whole no chance in hell thing, as in only if she was tripping, because once you do acid it stores in your spine and when you crack your back the acid is released into your system all over again. =P yay for random information!))
Deathstar steps in fade face, C'mon hit me right here if you want,....C'mon you can do it!!..Hit me,...Give me a reason to take you out!!! she says toward fade with a smirk on her face, taunting her to hit deathstar, How you think tricity is going to feel knowing one of her x-men can't control her anger,...If you deal with me, How are you going to deal with enemies on the field, your crazy if you think you can beat me, and for your own good, don't mess with something you don't understand deathstar tells fade totally ignoring her new found friend Eaen, her fist balled up ready to strike....
what you waiting for, no wonder you left your past, your weak, pathetic and a waste of my time!!! trying to get inside fades head, making her mad and pissed off so she tell the others how not ready fade is to be an X-man, Eaen!!...I'm sorry you have to see this side of me but, she brought it out of me
Fade's eyes squinted as the girl got in her face. However, the stupid creature was right, this was not the right solution. "You're not worth my energy, you're no stronger in your mutation than a human." She huffed before she stood up all the way and showed that she was not going to be scared by some stupid girl that could huff out her chest and taunt Fade.
"I think you just want me to throw the first punch so you could run around showing you're battle scars after you run off crying to Tricity. This is the real world and I can't wait to see you learn your lesson out of the battle field when the time comes. Maybe then you'll realize that you're not all powerful. As every mortal does, we have weaknesses and your's will surface quickly in battle as mine has. We all have flaws but your's is most evident in your personality. And how the hell would you know about my past and what I went through? You'll find that it's far from being weak."
Eaen shook his head when Deathstar apologize for her current state of mind. "Brought it out of you? Fade hasn't done a thing to you, and you keep mocking her. That's not her bringing it out of you. That's you just causing problems." Eaen stuttered a little, but he fought through it and continued, "And don't say your, a girl has got to have some fun, line either, because it's not going to work. Normal people don't have fun by trying to make other people miserable."
Eaen sighed. This conversation was only getting worse and worse. He realized now what Deathstar's game was. She tried, albeit poorly, to get them off their guard just so she could jab at Fade even more. He frowned slightly, he was quick to trust and he didn't like being a manipulated. At this point, Deathstar left a real bad taste in his mouth.
"Why don't you just go away if Fade bothers you so much? Instead of trying to get her to look bad, focus on finding ways to make yourself look better. There must be some redeeming qualities below the less-than apealing exterior that you could work on." Eaen took a deep breath realizing he was starting to get heated again.
By this point in the conversation he had pieced together that Deathstar was jealous of Fade's position on the X-Men, but Eaen didn't understand where Deathstar's place was on the X-Men.
"Umm... correct me if I'm wrong..." he started out quietly. "But you want in on the X-Men right? Why?" Eaen raised an eyebrow. "From what you've said Fade, the X-Men are all about helping other people. So Deathstar..." Eaen directed his attention towards the other girl again, "why would you be interested in joining their ranks? You don't really seem to be a people person."
Eaen!!, I generally like you, but I don't have problems with other people here, it's just fade, when I got here she was rude to me, so I showed her I'm not the one to mess with.... she said talking to eaen while slowly turning towards him I fear nothing!!, Not even death!!, If I were to die what great lost.... she says toward Eaen and fade in a serious manner, I have my reasons why I want to join the X-men..and quite honestly, I came here , to do my drawings, I saw you and thought I come over and say hi, but I must admit, I did use you to get to fade, but now I realize, that I can't manipulate people anymore... she said while while slowly winding down from her confrontation with fade
As far as myself, who are either of you to judge me, we are all here for the same reason, and if I look bad in your eyes then obviously your not ready to be X-man, you made up your mind about me when you first met me fade!!, there is good in everyone, it takes one person to bring it out.. she sits back on the library table while talking to fade and Eaen, I'm this way because i have to be, I have to be tough to survive, thats how I lived this long, and fade, Oh!..please, your past looks like sesame street compared to my life...don't try me again , because the next time I won't hold back she tells both of them while secretly holding her emotions inside
"Whatever, you're far from being just material." Fade rolled her eyes before leaning back on the table, still made, but now just agrivated. That was the one thing that made Fade the madest, when people acted as if they were better than everyone else. It's people like Deathstar who give good people a bad name.
However, when Deathstar stated that she wasn't afraid of death, Fade looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Being afraid of death is foolish if you are not afraid of it just because. The lack of fear from death can only be noble if it is for a noble cause, such as for love, but if it is out of sheer over-confidence, there is nothing noble and nothing that makes you're character any better than it is, which isn't good."
A small laugh escaped from Fade's lips as she attempted to hold it back, but was unsuccessful. "Sesame street? Ha! I actually find that funny. Quite frankly, I don't care who's past was more painful, the main point is that it is the past and we are beyond that and do not have to look back or live that way anymore. Of course, there are the ignorant, such as yourself, that try and act as though you have to live all big and bad to get by because the world is so cruel that you can't leave the house without getting mugged. Yes, the world is cruel, but not so cruel that you have to turn and smack everyone that shows some sense of decency and kindness in a cruel world." Wow, Jenny, what have you been smoking? You sound like a friggin' college professor. She mentally chuckled after she had stated that. Where did she get all of those fancy words? Oh well, sounded pretty good, so why did it matter?
Smiling at Fade's words Eaen raised an eyebrow. "That's really poetic Fade. I like it. Especially your thoughts regarding death, it reminds me of a Robert Frost poem I read in my lit class..."
<"Oh no, here comes the quotations...">
Eaen sighed as he screwed up his face. "Um never mind."
He glanced over at Deathstar and thought for a second. Had she just showed some emotion? His expression softened and he offered her a weak smile. He had given up on playing mediator between the two girls, he realized there was no chance at the two of them becoming friends at this point and time. But maybe with time, they'd at least learn to tolerate each other. Or at least that's what the best scenerio seemed like. But... maybe he could give it one more shot.
"Well..." Eaen took a pause. "It looks like you guys both have had rough lives. As opposed to trying to figure out who's life was harder... maybe you guys can use it as a bonding point?" Eaen winced as if any glare either girl would give him would pierce his flesh. "I mean, like... use it as a way to respect each other, because you know the other went through something rough like yourselves."
<"I was never a real big fan of sesame street. I prefered Barney.">
'Me too... wait. What am I saying?? Can you just be quiet for a couple minutes?!'
<"Then there was lamb chop's sing along, do you remember that?">
fade, its you thats insecure, you try , and yes I mean try to beat me up to make yourself feel superior, but inside your threatened by me, and decency when I first met you, you showed nothing of decency, you too busy trying to get into your little boyfriends pants, .... she laughs to herself, I mean don't get me wrong I don't hate you, I just don't understand what goes through a mind of someone who is sad and pathetic like you, and as far as death, its not that i'm afraid of the world its that I'm accept for it is, whatever life throws at me, I'll be ready, even if it is death.. she nods her head as if she is agreeing with herself
I would never compare my past with yor because its not fair to you, your right i'm not over my past but I'm here to change that, unlike you fade I know where my challenges are she turns her attention towards eaen eaen sorry to include you in this little, and I do mean little dispute we're having but this is unfinished business she said as if she got point to prove but yea eaen i will try to get along with her, I will, I'll give you my word, but i don't know how long this is going to last, she said while looking towards eaen, not acknowledfing fades presence
"I failed to show you decency?" She laughed again. "If I recall, it was you that burst into our conversation and complained about hair getting in your food and how you're a big girl and can beat me up and all that stuff. You call that decent? I'd hate to know when you think you're rude." She rolled her eyes, apparently quite riled up.
"And you don't want to get along with me, I can see it in your cold, emotionless wasteland of a soul, mirrored through your eyes. I see my challenges, and I acknowledge them and face them, but you ignore them as if you didn't have any flaws and how nothing can stand in your way. If you think you can stand anything that life throws at you, even death, isn't that a little contradictory? I mean, you can't handle death, you'd be dead, end of story. I don't even know why I'm speaking with someone who's not willing to open their eyes and realize that the world will get better so long as we do something about it instead of feed it by saying that it cannot be changed so thus we must adapt ourselves."
After a few moments, she turned back to Eaen and smiled. "Sorry, I get a little poetic when I'm mad, I don't know why." She shrugged. "Then again, I don't really get mad too much, just every once in a while, and I can see that it's going to be changed to every time I see this mess." She nodded over to Deathstar with a digusted look.
fade!!, do you hear yourself well, you were cutting hair in the kitchen around my food.. she said laughing to herself you must be in love, to be that desperate to get a man, i hope he makes you happy.. she says not undestanding fades and ralpgh relationship...
and anoher thing must you insult me to make yourself feel good about yourself, just as i thought your a sad sackof sh_....but don't take my word for it she says to fade in response to her insults, but I still love ya fade joking as of she wants fade to know she is over her snobby comments about deathstar
