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.

"Once we're out of here then you can shop all you want my dear Vibe. Hopefully we can keep all this under wraps from Hunter and his cronies. On a side note I do want to find out more about Hunter."
"Yeah, well, I don't plan on waiting that long, even if I have to some internet shopping." Vibe shuddered. She hated net shopping. "By the way, who are Hunter's cronies? How many of that group in the meeting were his? Anyone know?"
"That might be another task for my little informants if I can get either of them here to the labs."
"While they're at it, see if they can figure out my my hypnosong doesn't work anymore." She was mainly just complaining, like usual. The fact irritated her, but until Doc J finished with her 'voice', she couldn't be sure the song didn't work at all.
Then she directed a question to Abyss. "Didya ever figure out what made Saturn look funny?" She didn't know the details of what happened, and she really didn't care. But she was enjoying being able to talk for a bit.
Vibe had some very good questions as she spat them out. Each one made Syn think and she was sure her brother was doing the same. "I'm not one hundred percent positive but I'm willing to bet that most of those who sat or stood near Hunter in the meeting were his people." She looked to her brother to see if maybe he had found out anything on his own.
There had always been a feeling inside Syn that suggested Hunter had a number of people working for him. She didn't know how many or how many of them were mutants, but at least she got to see the few that gathered around the mystery man during the meeting. In fact, the meeting was pretty much a showing of who stood where. There was an obvious seperation of three groups. Hunter and his group and then those who came from the mansion. Those wanna be X-Men.
Syn had noted that at least one of the X-Men had made it to the labs. She had been at the battle in front of KP. The sight of only one of Tricity's precious members pleased Syn. That meant that hopefully the others had been captured or surrendered like the cowards they are. If it was possible to see someone's aura within the void then Syn would be glowing as she dwelled in thought for a few moments.
Mentally shaking away her thoughts Syn looked to her companions. "I think we should end our conversation for now and do some more poking around. Besides, I need to get Teresa here to the labs so she can help find out more information." Turning to Abyss now. "I would appreciate it if you got me back to the real world now."

“I could go for destroying something important or maybe even a small crime spree, though I suppose if we had to shop instead so be it. And come on now that skort looks good on ya.”
"I hate skorts. Either go skirt, or go shorts. I don't do hybrids." Her voice was still pouting. But the thought of a minor destructive spree held almost as much appeal as a shopping run.
"I'm not one hundred percent positive but I'm willing to bet that most of those who sat or stood near Hunter in the meeting were his people." That made sense, but that small group couldn't be the full number he had under his thumb.
"I think we should end our conversation for now and do some more poking around. Besides, I need to get Teresa here to the labs so she can help find out more information. I would appreciate it if you got me back to the real world now."
One of the Abyss brothers, Mars if she heard right, jumped in with a thought. “ I think that we have the best chance of knowing who works for him by first eliminating who doesn’t. Fade, Geo, Katrina and dream all put enough optimism out there that I wouldn’t be surprised if they were aligned with the mansion, of course the order is not working for him. Shogun, Kaz, Nox, Tris, Sapphire, Gearhead, and Kitra I assume are his for the difference they offer him. Which leaves Kami, Raven fire, Zodiac, Mandain and Nicki. I think we can safely put Nicki in Hunter’s camp because of Kaz’s loyalty, but I don’t doubt that she might be more trouble to them then help. Raven Kami and Zodiac are independent as far as I can tell. And Mandain is screwy in the head after all he introduced himself as a Egyptian god to us not long ago. His mental instability concerns me and I am unsure he is on anyone’s side.”
"I think that firecracker, Raven Fire, is from the Mansion." Vibe seemed to remember her mentioning that when she and Amp and Zelek had run across her and Raina.
Abyss then proceeded to explain briefly about Saturn. “Those robots have a temporary x-gene nullifier I their tails that they can inject you with, they got Saturn and reverted his genes to human, however time or a nanobot’s injection from one of the doc’s up here will speed the process of regaining your mutation. And I am not quite sure what you mean by hypnosong.”
"Amp and I were working on it. I can create a hypnotic tone on my own. We tried on several people. They did whatever we wanted, without question." Then Vibe paused. "Gene nullifier? You mean.... they can turn us human?" Fear crept into her mental tone. Being without her sister was bad enough. But to become fully human?
“Go toward the light dear sister, Vibe if you feel like hanging out a bit more, that is fine with me, it is up to you of course. See you later, Syn."
Openings appeared in the void. Vibe didn't really want to leave, but she did want to work more on her song revision. And she needed to process that last bit of info Abyss gave out.
"Um, yeah. I've got to do a couple things myself." Then she added, hopefully before Syn could leave, "Hey, is there anyway we can get hooked up with some cellphones or something? I don't make it a habit to answer SOS calls sent through the floor."
"Temporarily yes, one of the doctors here almost immediately had a cure for it, it was only a matter of sending in more nanobots to fight off the enemy group, both changes to and from were almost immediate. I think it would be wise to carry a batch of the anti serum on you if you are going in to fight any of the bots. it wasn't a painful process only a shot."
"Yeah, I'll consider that...." Vibe gulped. The shot didn't scare her at all; it was the thought of being turned fully human that terrified her, and the metal monsters that could do it to her. Maybe ditching the Labs wasn't a good idea after all....
"You can have mine for now, I will stick close to abyss so I won't need it for a while, we will see to getting you your own when we are back on our own grounds. It already has the numbers you will need programmed into it as far as the order is concerned. The number is 887-555-6277. though in a bind we might still try for the sos."
"Thanks. Mars." She paused briefly to identify which brother was addressing her. The she added, a bit cheekily, "Though next time, try sending it through something metal. Or ice. If it's an emergency I might answer, if I'm in a good mood."
She emerged from the portal and took a moment to get her bearings. Then, after sticking her tongue out at Abyss, a gesture aimed toward his clones, she heading off down the hall.
