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.

Sam realized that he offended Malik cause expressions changed a little. “Didn’t mean to offend you Malik, sorry.”
Sam dropped his spoon the second Nathan mentioned girls, pretty to boot “lucky me” Sam thought. Sam cracked a smile, “You know Nathan since I am new here maybe you wouldn’t mind showing me around and introducing me to some of these girls.” Sam went back to eating casually and said, “didn’t really meet anyone yet except for you two and Neena, who is super cool.”

Nathan took a drink from his cup of juice. He smiled behind his cup at Sam's remark about introducing him to girls. "I agree, Neena is awesome. Well, to tell the truth I've really only met one. Her name is Ali and we're kind of going on a date Friday. I'm sure there might be a few others that i know from the camps here but I haven't seen them around yet. I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find someone. Like I said, I've only been here for a few days."
Voltaire decided not the answer the girls question. He hoped Sam would understand that he just arrived yesterday too and that he didn't know anything or anybody around here. When Nathan noted he was going on a date with a girl named Ali and bell rang in his head. He met a girl named Ali once at the labs.
"Ali is the fire girl right?" Voltaire blurted out. "I think i met her at the resistance." He added to not make it sound like he was lying about him just arriving.

Sam laughed a little and said “Nathan man I was just messing with you. I can find my own. That’s cool that she is pyro like you right? Gives you something to talk about.” Sam took a sip of milk finishing his bowl and was thinking how to choose his next words. “So Malik were you part of the resistances…that mean you were in the camps? Or were you fortunate enough to avoid all that?”
“So Malik were you part of the resistances…that mean you were in the camps? Or were you fortunate enough to avoid all that?”
Voltaire took a deep breath. The time that the stalkers where out pciking mutants up from the streets wasn't a fun time at al. "I was fortunate enough to avoid the stalkers, but i did get a invetation to some place called "the Mondragon labs." "They started a resistance group out of there so i joined up with them there." "We did a break out of the camps eventually." He took sip of his drink and asked:"Where you guys at the camps?"

"Yeah, that's Ali. It's actually kind of funny that we are both prokinetics when you think about it." Then again, maybe not. There might be something to that.
"Yeah, I was in the camps. I am extremely thankful for those guys who risked theirs lives breaking us out. That includes you too, Malik."

Sam’s mood immediately changed he felt bad he wasn’t there when so many people could have used his help, he was doing what he did for a few years of his life. It was running and hiding; those were two things he was good at. Then Sam said trying to sound like his usually self while trying to fake some kind of expression so the other two wouldn’t ask to much about where he was.
“To tell the truth… I didn’t really know much about it until most of it was already settled, if I arrived here sooner I could of helped.” Sam looked down at his empty bowl in disappointment, then perked his head up with a little enthusiasm he said, “I did however run into 3 of the bots, two Hellfire’s and one of those stalkers think there called.” Standing up and turning to his side and lifted his arm to reveal a large scar that looked like it went in pretty deep. “Well that’s from the stalker bot, lucky for me…” he turned to the other side to show his arm with a small scratch on his bicep, “this is from one of the laser’s from one of the hellfire.” Sam sat down then sounding pretty excited said, “I did however manage to shatter the stalker bot, you know the one for close combat, those things are so strong, it was amazing I only got away with a few scratches.” Sam neglected to tell them that he ended up passing out after exerting so much power from fighting the close combat robot.
Sam looked back at his empty bowl wishing he didn't upset anybody with talks of the camps.
"Yeah, I was in the camps. I am extremely thankful for those guys who risked theirs lives breaking us out. That includes you too, Malik."
Voltaire went silent. He didn't know how to response to that. He simply said:"I wasn't that much of a help." He finished his drink and put the empty glas back on the table.
As Sam finished his story about the robot's that attacked him he said:"Impressive, i was having a hard time destroying 3 stalkers one at a time." He showed the bandage around his stomach. "The wounds on the side of my head have healed but this one is deeper, those stalkers where nasty."

Sam started to sound as if he wanted to help but couldn't. When Nathan had made the comment he had not been trying to make anyone feel bad for not helping out. He was just grateful for the mutants who had helped him.
Nathan had never seen a stalker but he knew from their reputation that they were tough opponents. It was amazing that Sam had come out of the encounter with only those scars to show. But to hear that Malik destroyed three at once! That was something incredible. He must be really powerful.
"That's pretty impressive for the both of you. I haven't had the oppurtinity to come across a stalker yet." That was the only thing he could think to say.

Sam leaned over the table to get a closer look and then let a sigh of a whistle, “wow that must have been tough.” Jokingly Sam said, “don’t the pass out medals for stuff like that?”
Sam’s face went back to serious for a second, “Nathan count that a blessing, strong fast and really hard to take out. I was dead tired after I took only one out. I could barley walk after. If I never see one of those things again it would be to soon.” Then going back to happy, “Even though those guys were hard to kill, I just love smashing robots.” Then a thought came into his mind, “even though I’m not that big into fighting, I do like to puh myself, so if either one of you guys wanted to spar or train I would totally be up for helping you out.” Said Sam, he was done with breakfast because there wasn’t any milk left, but seeing as these guys seemed pretty cool he decided to stay and talk a bit more, and also hoping that one of them would take the challenge.
“even though I’m not that big into fighting, I do like to puh myself, so if either one of you guys wanted to spar or train I would totally be up for helping you out.” Said Sam
"You seriously don't want to do that with me." Voltaire replied. "But if you insist, everything that happends to you is your own fault." Voltaire started playing a bit with his glas before standing up and putting it in the sink. "Though i warn you, i am very well trained in martial arts." He quickly said hoping not sound to cocky.

Nathan heard Sam and Malik talk about sparing. He figured that it might be a good idea to at least try and stay in shape. "That would be great if we could do that. I need to at least make and attempt to stay in shape. And it would be a good chance to practice. I'm decent at martial arts, but I know that I could use some work." He finished with a small laugh.

“Well Malik, I am not to worried bout myself I just hope you don’t lose control.” Said Sam teasingly, “my master once said practice what you want to perform, so the spar might help you out a bit.” Sam got a little more excited about it once Malik mentioned martial arts, he would be in for a treat.
Sam turned to Nathan, “ Me to I have been taking it easy for to long. So powers included in the spar cause I know the place to go. If it is I know the place to go, we could also do team work there to, they got robots I love smashing robots.”

Nathan could not keep the grin off of his face. This is going to be fun. "To have our powers included sounds like a good idea to me. Are we going to have some epic fire vs. ice vs. energy battle then? Where is this all going to happen anyway?"

“Well to be honest never been there myself but I heard one of the students talk about it. It is called the Danger Room. Sounds cool right? Apparently that’s where they train the x-men.” Sam said with a smile on his face, now thinking about what the room could possibly look like. “Anyways if anything happens, they got a computer to take care of it. Plus I heard that it could even do holographic images so it could look like we were fighting underground, or in a forest. It sounds like so much fun.” Sam said practically jumping for joy, he hasn’t had anyone to spare with in a long time, and this was long overdue. “So should we create rules or is everything on limits?”
