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.

The first thing Alexandra did as soon as Hunter was gone was to get out of her apartment. Dressed all in black, the young mutant was roaming freely around New York. First she went shopping as she didn't own any other clothes than those she wore on her arrival. Also, she had bought contact lenses, as she considered Hunter's advice was good. Her eyes were now a beautiful sky blue. With a bit of curiosity, she even passed the pizza place from two nights before. She felt like smiling when she noticed the distruction around. It was made by her. Walking for about 100 feet from there, she stopped at a cafe and ordered a cup of cofee.
Having a defiant attitude towards humans Syn left the labs to wander around NYC once again. She knew she might be recognized but that was part of the thrill. Unfortunately things weren't so exciting and so she had taken up a seat at a cafe and ordered herself a sandwich and a sweet tea.
Finishing off her meal the girl sat back to take in the sight of a new arrival. She wore alot of black. Bonus points for her as that was one of Syn's favorite colors. "Black is your color", she shouted over to the new girl.
Alexandra barely ordered the cofee when someone shouted at her. "Black is your color!" Alexandra raised her eyes to the one who had shouted. From what it seemed it was a girl/woman around 18 years, with black hair and red streaks in him and piercing green eyes. From what she could see, the girl also liked black. Much. She smiled and raised from her table and moved towards the girl. "Hi. Black is my color, indeed." she spoke.
Syn's comment was met with a verbal and physical response as the girl spoke back and made her way over to talk. "Good to see others enjoy the same color." Syn smiled to the girl. "So what brings you here?"
Alexandra took a seat at the girl's table and watched her interlocutor with piercing eyes before answering. "The love for cofee." she answered. "So, what's your name?"
"Coffee is ok once in awhile. Can't say I'm one that loves the stuff though." Syn paused as she gauged the new girl. The girl had something about her that caught Syn's attention but she wasn't sure what it was. Maybe it was how the girl was dressed or maybe there was something in her personality.
Shaking the thoughts from her head Syn refocused on the girl and smiled. "My name is Syn. What's yours?"
"I am a bit of cofee addicted." Alexandra confessed. She noticed the looks that the other girl and felt like she was investigated. She took out an available chair and sat down on it. "Hope you don't mind if I sit down. The name is Alexandra." she continued. She tilted her head to the right, looking a bit curious. "Interesting name you have, Syn."
"No I don't mind at all Alexandra. I'm glad to have your company." This was a true statement. Syn was rather bored up to the point when she started to converse with Alexandra. The compliment to her name brought a smile across her face. "Thank you very much. It tends to be a bit unique." Truth was that Syn never told anyone her true name. Only her siblings would know it and they seem to have gotten used to calling her Syn. "So tell me about yourself Alexandra."
"There's not much I could tell. I'm just the usual type of girl." Alexandra lied. Yeah right, like she ever was a normal girl. And now, even less. But Syn didn't have to know about her 'not normal' abbilities. She had enough trouble with humans two days ago. For now, she would just pretend to be human. Even if that thought made her sick. Alexandra changed her position on the chair so that the waitress could see that she had changed tables. The girl saw her and brought the cofee to Syn's table. She added sugar and with slow movements she mixed it with the coffee. Her eyes rose from the coffee to Syn. "What about you? You don't look like the normal type of girl." Alexandra asked. She had this slight impression that Syn was more than met the eye.
Being a liar herself Syn knew that Alexandra wasn't being forward with her. Again Syn smiled. She was liking this girl so far. "It's hard to be normal in this day and age, but if it's a frame of mind that helps you get by then by all means."
Syn sipped her drink during a slight pause in their conversation. "So what do you like to do?" Maybe that will help get the other girl to open up a little more.
Alexandra couldn't say that she didn't like Syn's answer. Or her question. She wondered what Syn would say if she would say that she liked tormenting people. "Right now I find a great pleasure in just walking around." Alexandra said. A strange feeling began to overwhelm her and she had this sudden urge to look to her left. She looked. And she froze. A police officer was looking at her with widened eyes and tried to reach for his station. She recognized him. It was one of the officers she fought at the pizza place. She couldn't forget his face. And most likely, he couldn't forget hers as well. Even if he reached for his station, something made him change his mind. He decided to enter the cafe instead and walk to her table. He didn't say anything, just stood there, his eyes moving from Circe to Syn.
So the girl was interested in walking. Or at least that's the answer she gave Syn. "Walking is good I suppose. Not much fun though." Just then Syn realized the look of shock on Alexandras face. It was almost like the girl had seen a ghost. The ghost, however, wasn't wearing a white sheet. No, this ghost wore a police officer's uniform and he was approaching the two girls.
Initially his attention was on Alexandra but he then turned his gaze to Syn who by the way returned the look with an evil glare. "Something we can do for you officer?" Syn's tone was soft but full of sarcasm.
