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.

Baby blue eyes stared up at the towering buildings as he walked forward. His shoes lightly touched the ground before he moved forward. As of now he was wearing a long black jacket over a nice looking shirt and shoes. His jacket hid his wings perfectly though if he needed them for any reason he could easily get them out.
His eyes didn't even watch the people around him as he walked. Instead they were locked on the towering buildings surrounding them. He recognized a few of the buildings from some movies he had seen but it was all so... new... up close.
His eyes would move from the towering buildings to some of the strange people around him. Already twice since walking on this street an unwanted hand had tried to pick his pocket. The first left with broken fingers. The second was luckier and got his hand out of the way before he could grab him. He hadnt lost a single penny yet and he didn't plan on it. You couldnt pick pocket a theif.
As he walked along he felt his shoulder bump into the shoulder of another. He let his gaze fall on the man and for some reason he just exploded, "Watch were your bloody going! Bloody 'ell what is the problem with people in this bloody city!"

times square is one of the best places to visit, always crowded ... strange people, crazy ,people,weird people, rich people, poor people, human people, mutant people,all kinds of people ... The best place to assemble a show and win a few coins...obviouly money to eat something diferent from a piece of metal...
¨Welcome ladies and gentlemen! let me introduce myself my name is fausto Martense, but you can call me the amazing and fabulous Iron Mouth, wait a minute and see why i am called this jeje¨
when he finish saying this, a couple of people were gathering there ,watching and waiting for the show.
fausto look in their pockets and took a couple of screws,he show those to the public so that they can saw the screws and in a second he ate them in a bite.
¨believe or not I can eat everything you like, give me something and you will see !!!¨
a strange ,weird and looking dangerous guy arrive with insanity in his eyes and a baseball bat in his hand ,shouting : ¨you want something mutant kiddo? i will give you a broken arm if you dont go out of this country dammed mutant !!!¨
¨take it easy man!! you dont have to say it twice!! bye bye ladies and gentlemens!¨
without properly say ¨goodbye¨ to his public, he start to run the faster he could and turn in the first corner to lose sight from the bat man. running for the crowded sidewalk he bump into the shoulder of a distracted business man.
the business man go crazy after the crash, also him screaming like a madman ¨Watch were your bloody going! Bloody 'ell what is the problem with people in this bloody city!¨
fausto fell a little scared and another little confused, he speak before think the words ¨hey man!take it easy!i was in a hurry and i dindt saw you. and really man...you have to pay a little attention to the people around you man! you arent alone in the world you know?¨

He listened to the guy as he yelled back at him. A slight smile curved dangerously over his lips, "This coming from the bloody baboon that is running on a crowded side walk. What in the bloody 'ell could be so important that you risk a confrontation such as this?"
As he spoke the man that Fausto had been running from came around the corner with the bat. The man smiled as he seen the guy on the ground with another standing over him.
"Catch that kid! Hes a mutant freak!"
He looked down at the kid and shook his head lightly. He hated people. Worse of all he hated ignorant people. He looked at the boy a moment longer before reaching down and pulling him to his feet. He shook hsi head lightly and then looked back at the man as he stopped a few feet from them both.
"Good job man! You caught the freak! Pass him this way and I'll take care of him."
He watched the man and his smile narrowed as he let his deep bass voice filter out to the man with the bat, "Good job? How I see it... you are the reason this guy just bumped into me and ruined my morning. Mind if I ask why you were chasing him. What he did wrong? Was his birth enough of a crime that warrants you beating him? I don't think it does."
He watched the man a moment longer before he removed his own jacket and handed it to Fausto, "Hold this kid"
As his jacket came off his white and black wings both spread out behind him, knocking people away from the three of them.
"Now sir. If you want to fight a mutant lets see how you do against me. Why pick on a child when you can destroy a full grown mutie. Unless of course your to scared."

¨wow how ¨cool¨!!! sure man!¨ Fausto say aloud ,handed the jacket.
when he remove the jacket he left uncovered two wings likes angel have but with black and white feathers.
¨this man is amazing ,is like an angel. an angel that fight for us , for the homo superiors sake. The Angel of Death that can bring Justice to this world ...¨
¨mom and dad send my an angel? , jeje lucky !!¨ he Thought and waited right there for see the Justice come reality.
¨justice prevail!! make your punishment angel!!¨ shouting to the bussines angel man to cheer up him.

He looked over at the kid for a moment. He lifted an eye brow and shook his head. Then he moved forward. The guy with the bat wasnt going anywhere so he might as well have fun and make his morning not so bad.
The man swung the bat at him but before it even got close his white wing came in and took the blow, moving with the bat taking not as much damage as his ribs might have. Even if he couldn't fly then he could atleast use them in some way.
As the bat hit his wing he flinched a little causing the foot he sent out to hit the man on the right side instead of the center of his gut like he had ment to. He growled lightly and then it was like as if another side of him had taken over.
As the bat hit the wing he pushed the wing out making the man not only double over from the foot to the stomache but also making his arm go out wide. As the arm went out wide he stepped forward, wrapping his wings around him, he moved in and grabbed the mans extended arm. He growled lightly as he lifted the man and slammed him on the ground.
His foot caught the bat as it started to roll away and he picked it up. His eyes dead set on the man on the ground. He growled lightly as he felt the bat swing down towards the mans head. If he hadnt pivoted it right at the last minute the mans head would have been busted wide open. Instead though he let the bat hit the man in the chest a little softer. He growled as he tossed the bat aside and stared at the man.
"You get off lucky this time. I see you again and I will make sure your throat smiles. Understood?"
He didn't wait for a reply. Instead he turned and looked at the boy. If the man attacked him again he would do so at his own stupidety. He had his wings ready to shoot out and knock the man away just incase.
"As for you. I do not fight for justice but to please my own sick desire for blood and carnage. Next time you run into me it could easily be you where that man is. Do not forget this."
He extended his hand, "Now if you please... my jacket."

He listened to the boy speak rapidly. A few times he went to say something but the boy just kept on talking. Calling him a hero and telling him how good he was. Finally when the boy finished talking he almost let out a sigh of relief. He thought the boy might just keep on going all night. He shook his head slowly.
"First off you might want to learn that not everything in this world is black and white. Hero and Villian. Sometimes... there is the anti-hero. The guy that lives in the grey void. You shouldn't judge somebody so quickly child. I hurt him only because I felt like hurting someone. Do not for a minute think I am lieing. If he hadnt rounded that corner... you very well might have been the one that was hurt this day."
As he spoke he slipped his jacket back on him concealing his wings once more. People around them were staring so he knew they or atleast he had to get out of there.
"No I will not teach you to fight. If you do not yet know how then you will soon learn on your own. I do not have the patience, the time, or the want to teach you anything boy. Besides. I wouldn't want you to accidentally get hurt."
The last part of what he said was obviously spoken with alot of sarcasm. He didn't actually care if the boy got hurt. Right now he didn't honestly care about much at all.

¨ohhh you are very sweet, you care so much for me that not even want to hurt me training ...¨
the ¨BAD BOY¨ turned around and start to walk in the opossite direction Fausto was...
¨ey wait !! dont let me here!!¨
Fausto ran a little to achieve him and when he came close his started to walk slowly forward following him.
¨do you know what is my evolution(AKA instead of mutation)? i can see the peoples souls and yours is white with littles dark things like tribals tatoos , that means you are a goob person who did little bad things . ¨
as the man didnt respond,he continued walking a bit in silence and then after a few metres in silence he began to sing a song ...
¨I waaalk aa looonely road The ooonly one that I haave ever known .Don't know where iiit goeees But it's home to me AND I waaalk aloooneee...¨
Fausto suddenly stop singing...
¨oh man ... you didnt say your name , whats your name?¨
¨a mouse ate your tongue?¨
¨let me suggest something ...i have hungry and ... we can talk a little the perfect thing to know better each other is ...ok is decided ...we are going to eat something!! obviuosly you pay!!¨

He just stopped and stared at the kid. Finally he nodded his head, "Fine. I will buy us something to eat as long as your promise NEVER to sing while near me again. Are you sure your mutant power isn't the ability to scare the crap out of someone with that voice of yours?"
He watched the kid a moment before sighing, "My name is Otieno... Though you can call me Torqueo Angelus... or Torq for short."
He turned around and started walking towards a hot dog vendor. He looked over and growled lightly to himself. He had wanted to stay away from others but for some reason he seemed to be a beacon to other mutants. He had already helped two now from guys. The girl probably could have taken care of herself but this kid... he highly doubted it.
"After the hot dogs I will show you a few things. If you get hurt though that is your fault and I am not liable for it. Though if you have to know... a cat doesnt have my tongue..."
He fished in his shirt and pulled out the tongue around his neck and showed it to the kid and then put it away.
"I have his." It wasnt a cat tongue but instead a human tongue he had cut it out himself... well part of himself had.
"That would be the little flecks of darkness you seen on my soul."

¨ok ok Torq ,i wont sing again in your presence. you dont like that song,right? dont worry is only another of my powers, i can fry your brain with my voice jaja.¨*say smiling *
while walking towards the hot dog vendor Torq says "After the hot dogs I will show you a few things. If you get hurt though that is your fault and I am not liable for it. Though if you have to know... a cat doesnt have my tongue..." then he looked into his shirt and pulled out a tongue necklace ¨I have his¨ he say to me while he show me the tongue...
¨poor kitty *Fausto say with a little sad expression * but...*changing and talking normaly * a cornered mouse can bite a cat , papa always say that. he liked the proverbs.¨
¨and yes, cut a cat tongue is the thinks that make blacks scarfs on peoples souls ¨
the hot dog doesnt last much longer... in two bites Fausto ate it... even is he eat the hardest metal ,it only last 5 seconds in his mouth... that doesnt let much time to taste the things... but the hotdog was delicious.
¨it was a long time since i eat one , thank you Torq¨

This kid always had a million questions. He just ate his hot dog, almost as fast as Fausto did. His eyes watched the surroundings instead of the kid though. He ignored the questions for now. As he finished his dog he started to walk, knowing full well the kid would be a few steps behind him.
"No I have no family. Though why that should matter to you I havent a clue. ANd yes a cornered mouse can bite a cat but the cat will dine on that mouse for diner. As for what I will teach you... hopefully it will be enough to get you out of my hair. I will teach you a few fighting moves so that next time you can fight for yourself and you wont need your... gaurdian angel... to come save your hide."
As he spoke he just watched the people passing. His eyes took on a bit of a darker hue as he spoke one final thought, "and that isn't a cats tongue. Its a human tongue. Cats tongues are much smaller"

¨jaja you are trying to scare me with a human tongue necklace? yes, i am a kid but i am living alone for the past two years wander betwent cities a human tongue is nothing compare with the cold winter is you ask me ...¨
he say while he look sadly the street remembering all the nights he past alone trying to stay alive in the cruel and cold winter... his mutation give him the posibility to not caring about the food but the cold is still a problem...
¨but why you are trying to stay alone? is awful be alone ...¨
the answer dindt come
¨i dont want to fight with my evolution , if i use it i can harm very hard .if you tech me a couple of thing i can fight in the normal way ...a broken arm is not the same as if i take the whole arm ¨ *say a little sad*
¨what happen when you notice you was a homo superior? how old was you then? i discover my evolution when i have 8 , it was a funny day . if you had seen papa face jaja ¨
he dont have the oportunity to talk others mutants every day so he try to know is every mutant have a painfull stories... to him mutants are the victims and humans the ¨bad boys¨
¨i like talk ,sometimes distract you for the fact that you are alone...you dont talk a lot ... are you shy? jeje ¨

He just looked at the kid as they walked. The kid never shut up. Finally he paused long enough so I could fit a word in edge wise.
"I wasn't trying to scare you kid. Scaring someone is pointless. If your gonna try to harm someone in anyway then just do it. Dont threaten and dont try to attemadate someone. As for the alone part... I'm not really alone. Im never alone.", he left unsaid that even if he wanted to be alone there were always others inside of him waiting to seduce and talk him into things. Not to mention the girl back at the place he was staying. As for the cold nights... I hate to say this because then you will be in my hair even more... but I think I'm going to be staying at this place for atleast a few nights. Apparently they accept all mutants. If you want I can take you by there later and see if you can stay there."
It sounded as if he was being nice but really if they would teach him then the kid would stop bothering him to help him out. He looked over at the kid as he laughed lightly.
"As for better to break an arm then remove it. I disagree. I would rather mutalate... completely destroy someone rather then break an arm. Think about it. If you kill someone they no longer have to suffer. If you break their arm they might not be able to work. They couldnt afford their homes. Them and maybe their kids might have to go out onto the street... the cold dark place youve had to survive. Do you think most normal humans with kids can survive as long as you have without any type of mutation to help them. They could end up suffereing. Their kids would have to do things no kid should ever have to do. Where as if the guy were to die then the kids would go to family or a home where they will be warm and get food and be safe. I would rather remove the arm and let them bleed to death. Its a service really. It also helps the worlds population problem."
He started walking again as he went on, "Boy you answer so many questions that take so many words to answer. Your wearing me out already. As for my mutation... i was born with my wings. They have been the reason I am Torqeous Angelus all my whole life. The reason I am a Tormented Angel. and yes. I am shy. So stop with the questions... or in our little training lesson your tongue might end up around my neck next."

¨i cant talk i cant talk i cant talk¨
¨ey...¨ he start to say something but he quickly stop speaking and acting like he was cough
¨i cant talk i cant talk i cant talk¨ Fausto repeat constantly in his head ... ¨if I say something he will remove my tongue¨
¨he say if i want i can go to his place and stay a few nights , but after that say that he can take off my tongue if a talk ,dammit hell how can i know thng if i cant ask...?¨he tought ...
he continued walking in silence ... making a effort to not open his lips and start to question him...
¨jeje he said that a man with a broken arm cant work or earn money for their children or to keep his house, but ...a dead man cant, is the same thing. kill someone becomes you a murderer and gives you Karma mama always say that. Karma is something that always return like a boomerang ... if you gain Karma you will lose something important in the futere or bad things can happen to you...¨ the thoughts in his head went as fast as his questions ...
¨Torq bother much because I ask him things all the time but always ends anwers me ... he tries to seem a bad guy but deep inside his soul in a place he dont want to see he is a kind and good man¨
¨oh man how boring is talk to myself ... i must evolve to use telekinesis ... if i cant use my lips i must use my head ... come on!! concentrate... i am Fausto Martense , there is nothing i cant do... come on !! ... *look his foots a little sad* i cant yet , but one day ...¨fausto continuous walking and thinking, while continuing follow Torq. the idea of staying in his house seemed fabulous...

He looked over at the kid amazed that he wasn't talking away like it seemed to be was his normal habit. The kid was staring at his shoes with a sad gleam. A part of him felt bad. Slowly in a soft voice he spoke lightly.
"I won't cut out your tongue. Just dont ask so MANY bloody questions. You fire em off like a bloody machine gun. You can't just point a machine gun and hope for the best results. If you want to get the best results possible you take a sniper rifle. Pick your shot. Take your time. And fire. Same can go with the questions kids. Take your time. Pick your words carefully and your question. Wait for the perfect chance. And fire away. It will keep from people getting annoyed and it will also help you learn some discipline"
He stopped and looked around. They were getting towards the end of the block and surprisingly there was noone on the corner doing any type of tricks. He looked at the kid and smiled lightly. He had a little money left but he could always use some more. Especially if he was going to be stuck with this kid.
"Make you a deal. Set shop right here and do some tricks like the other people around here. Im sure you can do something. I will stand right here against this street pole and watch and make sure noone tries anything. If they do then I will handle it. This way we will accomplish a few things. One I can see your mutation in action. Two you can see me fighting in action. You can watch and learn. Three we can make a little money off it. If you want me to stand here and protect you then youll have to split whatever profit is made fifty fifty. Deal?"
