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.

Deathstar strolled into the kitchen wearing a black sports bra and running shorts coming from a early morning jog, She had a ipod blasting linkin park music in her ears. She was a little sweaty from running ten miles, so she grabbed a hand towel near by and wrapped it around her neck. Deathstar opened the fridge to find something cold juice drink, but opted to get some milk instead but there wasn't any left. She pulled the earphones from her ears noticing three guys sitting at the table. "I'm not crazy, but I could've sworn there were some milk in here" She said to all of them before noticing empty bowls of cereal in the sink. "Don't tell me you drunk all the milk" Deathstar let out a sigh and went back into the fridge, grabs the juice , and sits it on the counter. "Who are you guys anyway?, I never seen you around here before" she asks with a stern look on her face.
“Well Malik, I am not to worried bout myself I just hope you don’t lose control.” Said Sam teasingly,
"Well" He said. "That is the problem, i don't have much control." He did find the sparring idea amuzing and what he was told of the danger room sounded like a good secure place to try it out.
Suddenly this girl walked in the kitchen and asked where all the milk had gone and who they where. Voltaire found the girl rather pretty and his shyness imediatly took over. "I'm Malik, i arrived here yesterday." He said rather fast with a bit of a blush on his face."sorry about the milk."

Sam looked up to see who was making all the commotion. He turned his head and once again he felt like he looked a little dumbfounded. Once again a pretty girl stops Sam’s thought process for a second. Sam just smiled a bit hopein no one would notice.
Sam came to all set throwing out the friend vibe, wishing she wouldn’t be to mad at him for downing the milk with the guys. Malik already threw out the apology so if Sam said it wouldn’t have sounded as sincere. “Name’s Sam, got here late last night.” Sam raised an eyebrow ready to question her, ”What about you?”
Deathstar pours some juice into a glass while the others introduce themselves, She takes a sip of her drink as an awkward silence shrouded the room. "I'm Deathstar", she said breaking the silence while leaning against counter holding her glass to her mouth, "I see we have a quiet mouse" she says sarcastically speaking about the third guy in the room. "So!..How are you guys liking it here so far?"she asks trying to get a feel for her new house mates

Sam was explaining the Danger Room when some girl walked into the kitchen. She was dressed as if she had just completed her morning run. She wanted to know where all the milk had gone. Seeing that she could not have anymore milk she poured herself a glass of juice.
The others introdueced themselves to her. He wasn't sure why but this girl set him on edge. He did not immediately reply. Then she referred to him as a quiet mouse. Nathan was not sure how he felt about being addressed as such. He had never heard that expression before.
"I'm Nathan by the way. I've only been here for a few days. This place is different from what I'm used to. But everyone seems nice so I haven't had any real problems yet. Other than the current milk shortage of course."

Sam cracked a smile when Nathan mentioned the milk shortage and then turned his head from Nathan back to the woman named DeathStar, “Kinda a dark name their Deathstar.” Sam cracked a grin again after he was done teasing the new girl he decided to answer her question, ”well Deathstar it’s a little to soon to tell but it defiantly just got better.” Sam was implying three things when he said this, one was the fact that he was full, the second was because she was the first girl he met in the house and she was a bombshell, and third, he just met some new buddies to spar with.
after everybody introduced themselves they started talking with each other. Malik became a bit shy again. He mostly got shy when he was around a atractive girl. Sam didn't seem to have problems with that. "I like it until now but i slept most of my time" Malik said after everybody was finished
Deathstar tried hard to be friendly to the new residents which doesn't come natural to her, She's always been known for being defensive and rude. "I'm Nathan by the way. I've only been here for a few days. This place is different from what I'm used to. But everyone seems nice so I haven't had any real problems yet. Other than the current milk shortage of course." Says Nathan, "No worries, milk is replaceable" she lets out a smile as she finishes off her juice.
“Kinda a dark name their Deathstar”, She was offended by his comment, and after noticing his grin she spoke up about it, "What would you like me to be named then?" She asks with a serious tone in her voice. Deathstar was never the type of girl that bit her tongue, "So what do they call you?, I would love hear it" she says with sarcasm with a fake smile on her face.
Deathstar eyes was set on Malik for some reason, she notices him shying away from the conversation. She was flattered that he was blushing in her presence, "So what do your families think about your mutations?''

Sam was a little upset that she seemed to be offended so raising his hands he waved them and said, “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to offend you at all, I was only teasing, meant no harm by it honest.” Hoping that she would believe him Sam lowered his hands and said, “well I’ve been called many things, I think the one I am most found of is Cold Steel, not the nicest but it is probably the most descriptive of what I can do.” With saying this Sam waved his hand towards DeathStar and a sculpture of ice formed right in midair in front of her, the sculpture was of a ballerina doing a pirouette, and then continued to dance then it went back to the stance it was created and then stopped moving." Then Sam threw out “once again I am sorry, just a little intimidated that’s all.”
When she mentioned families, Sam looked down and pretended he didn’t hear anything, well because he would have no way to respond, the only thing he could say was I don’t know I haven’t seen them since I was somewhere around 3 or 4, not a good conversation in Sam’s mind.
Nathan wasn't sure what to say. His parents died in a car crash shortly before he was sent to the camps. He really didn't feel like letting everyone know that about him. People always feel sorry for you when something bad happens. He was tired of having to explain the fact to people and then see the same sympathetic reaction over and over again.
Besides, he still had a brother so he wasn't exaclty lying when he said. "My family is fine with it. They were shocked at first of course but they have come around since then."
When Sam showed of his powers by making a ballerina out of ice, Voltaire was a bit jealous of his control. All he could do was redirect, nothing else.
"So what do your families think about your mutations?''
"This question again." Voltaire thought. He took another deep breath and said:"My father wasn't very understanding and kicked me out when he found out what i could do." "My mom when i was young, so i've been homeless for a while." he continued. This made him feel gloomy and sad again but he needed to get this of his chest.
When Deathstar saw the ice sculpture she was amazed, "wow!, that was something I never seen before, apology accepted" she said with a hint of a her face. "Can you make weapons out of ice?".
Deathstar realized she was so similar to the new guys, she smiled to herself realizing they were all hiding information the same way she did when she first step into the mansion. "Seems to me like you all are hiding something" she said as she leaned forward against the counter, "we all don't have a perfect background" she shrugged, not knowing what to make out of the situation.
"Well guys I'm off to the danger room to get another workout in, I gotta get back in my top shape, you all should stop by sometime".

After hearing about the families from Nathan and Malik, the one he felt he had more with was Malik. He threw him a look like he knew how he felt and then left it at that. Sam was relived that none of them brought up his family and past, he figured he would only talk about it if he absolutely had to.
Sam smiled at Deathstar for asking about what else he could do and said, “name it, and I can make it… but there are some limitations.” Sam felt relived that Deathstar wasn’t mad at him, and to top it off she was going to the danger room. Sam looked at the other two and nodded his head after Deathstar, trying to imply that she could show us the way and how use it. Wishing the other two would follow Sam jumped from his seat and motioned for them to follow and said “Deathstar wait up.”
This would be perfect Sam wanted to go spar in the danger room with Nathan and Malik, but now it could be four, teams of two, Sam smiled he was going to have some long deserved fun.
It was interesting to hear about everyone's family background. What they were revealing anyway. Nathan watched as Deathstar and then Sam leftfor the danger room. He rose from his chair as if to leave. Before he walked out he turned to Malik and asked said, "Are you coming?"
Voltaire gave it a thought and came to the conclusion it couldn't hurt to come along." Sure, why not" He said and he stood up from his chair and followed the group.
