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.

Specter had just finished his talk with Neena, and taken a shower. Now it was time to get something to eat. He floated down the the kitchen while thinking about his new job. He wondered what the other students would think of him being an assistant trainer. Well whatever they thought he was glad to have the job. As Specter floated into the kitchen he looked around to see if anyone else was there then headed for the fridge. Looking inside he found some leftover lasania without a name on it. Taking the tray out he telekineticly closed the door, and put the lasania on the counter. He then used his powers to pick up a knife and cut a piece of the pasta as he searched the cuberts for a plate. After putting the lasania on his plate Specter mentaly washed off the knife and put the tray back into the fridge at the same time. Then he went over to the microwave and set the timer for a minute and a half. Placing the plate into the microwave Specter went back to the fridge to find something to drink. Not finding any soda in the fridge he then checked the cabinets to see if there was some not in there.

Sam was starving; he had not eaten anything since breakfast. Sam didn’t really want anything in particular maybe a ham sandwich and a salad, or some spaghetti. Sam barged into the kitchen with a dramatic entrance making it look like he was going to put out a burning building or something.
Sam walked to the fridge and put out some ingredients for his lunch. He was a man on a mission. Sam formed a knife mad out of ice and when he was chopping his lettuce at lighting fast speed he looked up to see that there was another resident there he looked at him for a moment then back at his food. “Hey there my names Sam.” Sam waited for a response as he started to chop some vegetables.

After speaking with Neena, getting a tour of the mansion, unpacking her things, and showering Arisa found herself a bit hungry. She decided there was no need to get to fabulous just to eat so the put on a black polo with a matching pleated mini skirt that had a skull and cross bones patch, her favorite skirt, and her black combat boots. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail and looked in the mirror. ”See girl, you don’t have to look like you going to the red carpet to look good.” She smiled at her reflection. She couldn’t remember the last time she had felt ok with who she was, but being here surrounded by people just like her made her feel safer and much less alone.
Arisa walked down the hall trying recall which way to go and much to her delight was successful. As she walked in she saw Specter, the guy she had met at the doorway into the mansion earlier and another guy who seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. ”Hey, Specter right? How was your work out?” She walked over to the freezer and looked to see what was available. She found herself something and walked over to the stove reading the instruction the set it to pre-heat. She then looked up and Specter and smiled.
Specter pulled his head out of the cabinet as someone named Sam introduced himself. The first thing Specter noticed about the guy was that he was cutting up a sandwich with a blade that looked like it had been formed from ice. Looking at the warm soda in his hand Specter wondered if Sam could do more than just make weapons. "My name is Marcus. Do you think you might be able to give me a hand." Specter jigglbed the soda bottle to show Sam what he ment. Just then Arisa entered the kitchen and asked him about his workout while the microwave's timer went off. Leaving the bottle of warm soda on the counter next to Sam Specter went to retrive his meal. "The work out was alright. How did your tour with Neena go?" Specter really didn't care, but at the same time he didn't want to be rude to Arisa. Being a new student he wondered if she was going to be one of the mutant's he helped Neena train. If so they were going to need to work on Arisa weakness problem. Not to mention Specter was going to have to find out what her powers where in the first place.

Sam smiled as a girl walked in and his concentration started to fade. He looked over to the character called Marcus and noticed that he was holding up a soda bottle then set it down asking for help. Sam smiled and as Marcus turned his back Sam pointed at it and it instantly became cold. Condensation had built up all around it and it instantly froze making the bottle nice and refreshing.
Sam then put his thoughts back into his food, now putting some water on the stove and pulling out some noodles. He finished with his salad and was now tossing the ingredients into a large bowl, he was mixing it up and throwing on the dressing, all the while he was listening to the conversation that the two were now having. Sam didn’t feel like interrupting none decided to just listen and wait to be invited into the conversation.
Sam noticed that as the two talked that they had seen to know each other a bit, which was understandable, but Sam personally hadn’t met either one before. They must be new to the mansion Sam thought.

When the other boy came over to the stove Arisa looked at him and smile, “Hi there, I’m Arisa DeVeaux. I just moved into the mansion today.” She then looked down at her wrist checking the time on her watch and then placed her food in the oven.
After grabbing his food Specter went back to his soda and found it to be ice cold. "Thank you, I can not stand warm soda." As Specter started searching through the draws for a fork he used is powers to move a few of the other sodas into the fridge. He was sure the other people in the mansion would like their drinks cold as well, and Sam wouldn't always be around to help. After finding a fork Specter floated over to a chair to eat his meal. The lasagna was the meaty type just the way he liked it. He thought about helping the others get their meals ready, but unless they liked the taste of rotten meat there was little he could do to help. After finishing a bite of his meal Specter took a drink of his soda. Sam had chilled it perfectly. Almost frozen without any ice crystals. Well it seemed Sam had a pretty good handle on his powers.

Sam continued to stir the noodles in the boiling water then tossed the noodles in a strainer. Shaking it and getting all the water out Sam tossed some garlic salt, and butter in it and then tossed it into a bowl. He then heard the girl say here name and Sam smiled.
“Hi there, I’m Arisa DeVeaux. I just moved into the mansion today.”
“Hey Arisa, names Sam. Welcome to the mansion, I think your gonna like it here were all pretty friendly.” Sam smiled a little bit and then looked to Marcus as he put his food on the table and started to easting. “Don’t mention it, I do what I can around here to help.” He paused for a second, “So Marcus how long have you been here? Don’t think I have seen you here before.”

Arisa smiles as she listens to the boys talk and pops her food into the oven. She straightens up then hops up to sit on the counter and crosses her legs. She looks Sam up and down with a quick glance, my my…he is quite the hottie. As the two boys talk she fiddles with be many studded bracelets in an attempt to not get too interested, after all dating is kind of out of the question when kissing someone puts them in the hospital or worse. However her eyes dart back up and she smiles to herself, he needs to stop being hot now. She thinks to herself as she starts playing with her long black hair.
Specter swallowed another bite of lasagna before he tried answering Sam. "I have only been here a week now. I am still getting use to this place, and have yet to meet many of the students.. It is pure chance that I even know Arisa. She was just arriving as I was going for a work out." Specter had noticed the way Arisa was eyeing Sam trying to act coy and unintrested. Specter nearly shock his head in discuss. He just didn't understand the whole dating thing. Grown men and women acting like foolish children just to get the attention of the oppiset sex. It was almost enough to make him puke. The way Specter saw it why bother doing anything unless there was something to gain from it. As fare as he could tell the only thing gained from dating was misery. Men would spend fortunes just because a woman told them too. Women would fuss over every inch of themselves to find they hated how they looked. In the end they would always break up, and run off crying about how big a loser they where.

Sam continued talking to Marcus, “so where did you work out the danger room? If not I got to show you that place it are awesome, I practically live in there.” Sam thought for a second, “Marcus your over 16 right?”
Sam looked over to Arisa as he sat down with his large salad and large bowl of pasta. She was playing with her hair, “Arisa you don’t talk much do you?” Sam thought he would tease her into talking for a bit, she was to quiet. Sam was completely oblivious to Arisa when she was eyeing Sam. Other wise he would have responded differently. Sam started to chow down on his food.

Arisa was mildly startled when Sam spoke to her. She had been looking down at her lap trying not to ogle him. “Sorry! I’m just a little shy I suppose, being around people again is still a big work in progress for me. I’ve only just arrived today so I’m still adjusting.” Arisa checked her watch then hopped off of the counter and looked in the oven to check on her food. It appeared done so she put on an oven mitt and pulled it out and placed the food on her plate and sat at the table with the boys.
"I am 17 Sam, and no I worked out in the normal gym. However I have plans to meet up with Neena alittle later. I am applying to be her assistant trainer. So I will probably end up seeing you in there at some time. I tend to work out every day." Specter hadn't missed it when Arisa said she hadn't been around people for a long time. He wondered if he should ask her where she had been, but sense he preffered to keep to himself anyhow he decided to let it drop. Looking up at the clock Specter noticed he had about 30 minutes before he was soupse to meet up with Neena again. He didn't want to be late and have her think he wasn't intrested in the job oppritunity. So he went back to eating at a slightly quicker pace while trying to appear as though he wasn't wolfing down his food.

Sam smiled as Specter spoke, “Always could use another sparring buddy. Smashing robots is fun but it can get repetitive.” Sam didn’t really understand that Neena needed an assistant trainer, guess even the strong leaders need help from time to time as well. Sam looked at Marcus, his body did show that he did work out everyday, it was toned and looked in good shape and that was something that Sam deeply respected in a person.
Sam then turned his attention to Arisa’s comment after stuffing a mouth full of salad and downing it he thought about what she had to say, “Sorry! I’m just a little shy I suppose; being around people again is still a big work in progress for me. I’ve only just arrived today so I’m still adjusting.” Sam smiled at her almost flirting, “no need to be shy, I don’t bite.” He then paused for a second, “So why is it hard being around people again?” Sam didn’t press the question to hard as he took another bite of his pasta.

“So why is it hard being around people again?”
Arisa’s composed expression droped a little when Sam acked her this. She took a deep breath and without looking at either of the boys she began to explain. ”It’s because of my mutation. It can hurt people and cause a lot of damage. When it surfaced my parents were victims of it’s effects. After that I went to live with my grandmother and all but locked myself away in her penthouse. I can control something like a disease or a miasma. The people who are effected by it suffer from things that appear like reactions to certain viruses. So to keep from hurting people I locked myself away.”
Arisa was silent after that. She didn’t eat, she just stared down at her plate not sure whether she should run or cry, or both. She took a deep ragged breathe and ran her hands across her eyes, they had begun to tear up. But she refused to cry anymore today. It was a day of change and a sign of better things, she wasn’t going to sit around and be depressed all day. She had paid for her sins…or so she hoped.
