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.

Hunter could see the indecision written all over her face. She was still recovering, and now was probably not the best time to be making a decision like this. This would be an alteration to the way the thought. Something like that required some serious thought before she agreed to it.
“It won’t hurt a bit,” he promised, “but you don’t have to decide right now, you can wait until you feel better and have had time to think it over. Now, what have you had to eat since the training session?”
Tris gulped, her head still fuzzy and the low but steady buzz of panic was trying to push its way to the fore of her mind at the mere thought of anyone- let alone the as of late slightly morally suspect Hunter, from traipsing in her mind all willy nilly....Tris had issues about anyone being in her head but her.
....But, Hunter would be going into her mind for a purpose- to help her control her power, to make her less reliant on old habits and therefore more versatile with her powers. She needed this.
"Wait Hunter, ummm." she burst out then hesitated, going on with a slight quaver in her tone and afew alittle pauses along the way; "I think I do....need to decide this right now I mean...cause I know it will help, I know I need to do this....but I know if I leave it till later I'll chicken out...So the answer is yes, lets do this, sooner the better." she said with a nod, trying to look decisive and together and not quite getting there.
"Oh, and the med people here haven't giving me anything but soup since I woke up....anything other than a liquid beverage would be nice." she said as an afterthought.
"Very well," said Hunter in responce to Tris saying that she wanted to go ahead with the idea. "We'll start once you've fully recovered. Now, stay right there and I'll be back." Hunter gave Tris a smile before sweeping from the room.
He returned ten minutes later with a tray of Tris's favourite food. It was one of the little bits of information he had on file about her. Setting the tray down in front of her he smiled and sat back in his chair.
Tris knew she shouldn't be, but as Hunter brought in a tray with a selection of all her favorite foods, she continued to be amazed about what an honestly amazing boss he could be. He was always noticing little things like favorite foods, or had a caring way of inquiring how you are, hows your day, how is your training coming, that just really made you feel a special and safe and part of a great team. Her reservations and dull suspicions were already melting fast- why would Hunter ever be a danger? as if he'd ever hurt her intentionally.
As he sat watching her eat, Tris didn't even feel self conscious, she felt alittle better already. "So dont suppose you wanna do this now huh? or really soon....and what does it entail exactly- what will I have to do?" She asked curiously between bites, trying to a) push her luck and get him to do it nowish, and b) find out more information.
((OOC: Yes Tris has a huge and embarrassing case of hero worship going on, but until someone takes the rose colored glasses off, we're going to have to bare with it ))
IC: "Tell you what," said Hunter with a smile, "We'll do it the day after tomorrow, give you some time to get back on your feet first. As for what you have to do, it's very simple. You sit in a comfey chair and just look into my eyes. From there I will enter your mind, look for your habits and try and remove, or at least diminish your use of hands with your powers."
This should be much easier than his work with Kitra. There would be no pain involved, here, nor a great ammount of strain on his mind. The hardest part would be trying to find Tris's habits, but once he found it it should be a relatively simple matter to control and contain it.
Tris perked up as she listened- it didn't seem that hard really, sitting in a chair and looking into a pair of very cool silver eyes some girls might actually call a good time- not Tris of course. True the having someone in her mind thing really freaked Tris out- but it was Hunter, and she didn't want to let him down.
She nodded, and gave a not very convincing smile; "Sounds good." in a small voice before adding with abit of her usual humor; "....but does it have to stop at the not using hands with powers thing?....I mean, since you'll be in there anyway, I've always wanted to eat more vegetables, and like learn to think before I open my big mouth, call my mother more- that style of thing....." She trailed off, looking up at Hunter, giving him a wink. "What do you think?" she said with a slight grin to her features.
