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 smiled as more came he jumped in the air, “ya-hoo, I live smashing robots.” He noticed that Nathan had started to take charge, which was cool with Sam, Nathan was just throwing out ideas, “Nathan I can cover a twenty foot radius, hell I could take them all out now, but I would probably kill you both in the process.” Sam thought for a second, “so unless you both want to be dead I could do two to three at once, but you would only have 45 seconds to do what you need to do.” Sam thought for a second, “If you want I could provide some cover, thinks of it like a smoke grenade, it messes with their sensors a bit to.” Sam waited before he made a move seeing which one they preferred to use.
All the plans sounded incredible standard but because of their powers made them very bold. as the stalkers closed in Voltaire said: "I'm not a fan of back to back if you catch my drift." The stalkers closed in and Sam explained his idea to toss a smoke grenade in. Voltaire found that a bit of a nicer idea but this would make them see nothing either. "I think that smoke would also affect us." He said. "The stunning idea is more pleasent i guess." He continued.
Nathan thought about what Sam said. He figured that the freezing would probably be the best idea. He thought that his fire might burn away the cover that Sam would provide with his grenade since his powers were based on water and ice.
"Yeah you're right Malik. You should use freeze all of them two to three at a time Sam and then Malik and I can clean up after you. We can do that at least until we thin their numbers down a bit."
The stalkerbots were getting closer the more they continued to strategize. Nathan hoped that they would be able to act fast enough.

Sam smiled and said, “alright but remember your time is limited so be smart and be fast.” Sam lowered the temperature around him and pointed his finger at two targets closer to the group, and then one right next to the others that were frozen. “You should probably hurry before the start to melt the ice.” Sam then turned and froze a few more waiting for them to be destroyed, he want to smash a robot or to but he was also interested in seeing how the other two fought.
"Smart and fast" Voltaire thought to himself and he ran forward toward two frozen stalkers. When he stood right before them he jumped and smashed there two heads together. Putting a little bit of his mutant powers behind it the heads dented in and then exploded. Burn marks where on Voltaire's hand because of the explosion. The headless stalker body fell down on the floor. Now Voltaire was interrested how they finished off the other stalker.
After Sam started to freeze their targets, Malik headed toward the frozen two that were the closest together. He took care of them efficiently. Nathan moved to finish of the last of the trio. He ran up in front of it and jumped just high enough to were he could execute a crossing slash at the bot's neck. The metal head struck the floor as he landed.
He turned around to see that Sam had frozen more of the stalkerbots. He thought for a moment and had an idea. He dissolved his two swords and created a spear of fire instead. Thinking of hitting one of the frozen bots in the head he threw it. The spear had barely left his hand when it dissipated. So much for that. He thought.
While he demonstrating his idea he had not noticed a robot walking up behind him preparing to strike. At the last instant Nathan rolled to his right and instantly he had a sword in hand and was reacting. The bot had tried to smash Nathan with one of it's hands. Since it's attack had missed it was offbalance.
Nathan quickly took advantage and slashed upward from the bot's groin, his blade exited on the left side of the bot's neck. He quickly looked around to see about the others.

Sam wanted to have a little more fun to so he ran over to the ones that were now frozen and decided to take care of two on his own, he lowered the temperature around his hand and the one that was slightly frozen became covered in ice. Sam then punched it and the bot shattered. The last one Sam had his sights on became crushed as a large hammer of ice was brought down on him. Sam chuckled and said to the others as the bot was crushed, “hey guys what was the last thing to go through his mind…” Sam waited for a second for a dramatic effect then said, “His feet.”
After Sam let a joke out he looked around to see how many were left.
Seeing as Nathan and Sam finished of most of the stalkers. He did notice one attacking him on the last second. He dodged its attacked and used this to his advantage. He grabbed both of the stalkers arms with his hands and jumped up, placing his feet against the jaw of the stalker. He now tried to use all of his strenght to stretch his body out and hopefully break the stalker. The stalker and Voltaire both struggled there hardest until Voltaire powers kicked in. The electrical surges to the stalkers arms shut them down. This led to voltaire suddenly breaking of the arms of the stalker. Voltaire actually hoped his head would pop of but this worked just fine for him as he started beating down on the stalker using its own arms. When he was done the stalker was a dented pile of metal laying on the floor.
"hey guys what was the last thing to go through his mind…” Sam waited for a second for a dramatic effect then said, “His feet.”
Voltaire dropped the pair of hand he was holding and said with sarcasm in his voice: "Anymore of those jokes and you're the next one lieing there." He spat on the floor and looked around how many more of the stalker there where.

Nathan saw the last stalkerbot and headed towards it. It was facing the other direction so it was almost too easy to execute a double thrust through its torso. The bot fell over with a loud crash.
Deathstar was somewhat pleased to see how the new guys acted as a team to take on enemies with an advantage. "So, what's next?" asked Nathan, "Me!, thats if you guys are ready" she said with a sly smirk on her face. Deathstar walked in the danger confident ready to take her frustrations out on these poor guys, "I say we team up, how about me and Malik against you two?" Deathstar did a split stretching out her her legs.

"I say we team up, how about me and Malik against you two?"
Sam smiled for a second he was enthused about the idea of a fight but he wasn’t big on fighting a girl. Sam does something when he sees a random girl on the street throw a punch or gets punch, but to actually hit one that was something Sam couldn’t do. As he thought of this he got an idea, maybe he didn’t have to throw a punch at her. Sam smiled and looked to Nathan, “I’m up for it if you are?” Sam was hoping Nathan was it would pretty cool to use fire and ice on a team.
"I say we team up, how about me and Malik against you two?"
"Ok" Voltaire said with hesitation. He wasn't to keen on sparring with people because of his powers but he thought it might be ok for once. He just hoped he could restrain himself from injuring anybody. Sam however looked very excited about the sparring. Voltaire wished he could share that but he didn't. He looked a bit shyly at deathstar from the corner of his eyes. He didn't exactly knew what she could do but he would probably find out soon enough.

Nathan didn't react when Deathstar suggested that she and Malik be on a team. That left him with Sam. He wasn't concerned about that but rather what Deathstar's powers were and why she had chosen Malik as her partner.
Would he be a better compliment to her abilities or did she just choose who she thought was the cutest? Does it even matter?
He wasn't sure if he could use his powers on another mutant. He had killed some guards in the camp breakout but this was different. This wasn't fighting for your life. There's no anger to cloud your judgement. There was also the fact that Nathan would be fighting a girl. He wasn't comfortable with that.
Nathan knew that he wasn't going to change any of their minds about this. He put aside his anxiety and started to let his emotions go. So that he would not feel anything. Nathan just focused on his target.
"Let us get begin then." His voice sounded cold even to his own ears.
"Let us get begin then." Nathan said, "couldn't have said it better myself", she jolted towards Nathan doing a front aerial over his head sending a swift kick to his back.

"Let us get begin then." Sam got into a fighting stance ready for the oncoming attack but it was directed at Nathan. Sam blinked and within seconds Deathstar was in the air and kicking Nathan. Sam shrugged guess that left him to Malik Sam just hoped that Malik wouldn’t use his powers. Sam deactivated his powers and continued in his fighting stance and then tapped his foot twice and he was there inches from Malik throwing an uppercut.
