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 milled about in the growing crowd of people outside the doom. What was taking Sam so long? Then he heard the sierns in the distance. Oh great now the cops where showing up. It really wasn't surprizing after all a 20 foot dome of ice in the middle of time square wasn't exactly something that could just be ignored. Still Specter couldn't do anything. If he tried to destory the dome the people inside would get hit with the debrie. If he waited around much longer than the cops might find out that he was a part of this mess.
The only thing Specter knew for sure was that Sam was in trouble. If the cops didn't get to him first that Specter was going to be sure to tan his fellow mutant's hide the next time they where in a training seasion together. All Specter wanted was one day, One Day, where he didn't get caught up in the middle of some other mutant's buissness. Was that really so much to ask? Specter decided to give Sam five more minutes. If something didn't happen by then than this little ice dome was going down one way or another.
Sara Didn’t back down when the man came up to her. Choosing to hold her ground and look him in the eye. He was getting mad, but she could take what ever crap he had. He had to see some reason, even if Sara didn’t see the reason to give an inch.
“I was never going to hurt them to begin with they just got in the way.”
“Law enforcement doesn’t see things that way.” Sara’s ears flicked in the direction of the sirens. “Look num Nittler-twits. I’ve got all day. I don’t know about you, but my mutation is on file. There’s witnesses in here to point out who the two mutants are, and they know I can’t manipulate ice.” Not to mention the fact the cops hadn’t been able to hold her since the break out.
“Take the money just give me back everything else, and then everyone can leave.”
“I don’t pay for anything without getting the product first.”

Sam let out a small chuckle at her comments, “You think they could stop me?” Sam smiled and walked closer to her, “But I don’t want any one at the mansion to find out that I am causing trouble so you’re right.” Sam paused for a second and then froze the cat’s feet to the ground and smiled then snapped his fingers as the ice dome dissolved and it became nothing more than a chill in the wind. Sam heard some people in the distance cheering at the magic show that he just performed and also heard screams.
Sam held out his hand and said, “Well there free to go, so just give me my wallet you can take the money like I said I just want everything else.” With this he just stood there trying to seem serious holding out his hand.
The dome feel just in time Specter could see the flashing lights of the cop cars just over the crowd. It wouldn't be long before the news crews followed, and then things would just be a huge mess. They had to get out of there now. Specter ran up to Sam who was still fully iced, and noticed that the cat womans feet where frozen to the ground.
"Nice going ice brat. Do you think you could have caused any more trouble? I should send one of my ecto blast to explore your colon after that little stunt. Whatever we've got to get out of here. I still might be able to talk my way out of this, but your gonna be in big trouble when this hits the news."
Specter ignored the cat completly all he wanted to do was get away from the scene of the crime before anything else happened. As for what happened to Sam he really didn't care. Still the guy was his fellow class mate, and he didn't want to give to public any more excuses to reconsider the registration act. If they left now it was still possible that the news crews wouldn't find this an intresting enough case to report.
“Obviously not but I doubt you’ll actually attack them.” Other wise he could have attacked the people in the sphere. Sara would have given in then. Then again if he just used his manners, the cat would give in as well. What didn parents teach their kids these days anyway?
“But I don’t want any one at the mansion to find out that I am causing trouble so you’re right.”
Sara smiled a pointed smile… Then her feet got cold. Not painfully cold, thanks to her fur. Cat feet didn’t fit in boots, but cold enough…
“Well there free to go, so just give me my wallet you can take the money like I said I just want everything else.”
“I’m sorry. I’ve suddenly got cold feet on that decision…” She glanced down, grumbled, and began picking at the ice with her claws. ok. The approaching police cruisers presented some problems… Her claws began digging faster at the ice.
"Nice going ice brat. Do you think you could have caused any more trouble? I should send one of my ecto blast to explore your colon after that little stunt. Whatever we've got to get out of here. I still might be able to talk my way out of this, but your gonna be in big trouble when this hits the news."
Sara giggled between her picking away at the ice. “Yeah. X-Geeks tend to look down on that stuff.” She stood half way, tugging at her feet, but there was no movement. So she went back to digging at the ice and chipping it away.
“you know there’s camera’s up on the buildings, right? Or has it always been a mystery to you as to how they record new years each year.”

The cops were nearly upon them and Sam was just getting angrier as she still refused to give him the wallet. Sam got fed up with her and froze one of her front paws to the ground as she tried to claw her feet free. Sam looked up to the cameras and sighed someone from the mansin was gonna see this. "Nice going ice brat. Do you think you could have caused any more trouble? I should send one of my ecto blast to explore your colon after that little stunt. Whatever we've got to get out of here. I still might be able to talk my way out of this, but your gonna be in big trouble when this hits the news."
Sam looked to Marcus and said, “I Know but I have to get back my wallet and it’s contents.” Sam then looked back to the cat girl that had three of her paws frozen in ice and then taking a deep breath, “Please give it back, I already told you can have the money.”
Sara’s hand was now stuck… she tugged… It was really stuck…
Sara’s head tilted back so that she could just barely see the cold man’s face. “You suck.” She moved to stand again. “You really suck.”
“Please give it back , I already told you can have the money.”
Finally the magic word. The one that has the power to get vindictive felines to obay… sort of… of course Sara couldn’t just give in. She still had to show her vindictive side. Plus he was too high above her to reach so she had to fix that.
Her one free hand shot forward and hooked around the back of the man’s knee. She pulled his knee forward so that his feet went out from under him and his weight came down on his back side. Her hand circled back to her inner pocket where the wallet was kept, and she pulled it out. Then moved to shove it in the man’s mouth. “The please was a start.”
"Your wallet! This was all about your stupid wallet?" Specter started spouting curses in russian. It was a good thing that nobody could understand what he was saying because rigth now he was using phrases that would be hard pressed to come out of a dirty pimps mouth. He wanted to kill them. He wanted to kill both of them right them and there. So what if he got caught by the cops. Right now it almost seemed worth it. Just then however the cat woman tripped up Sam shoving his wallet into his mouth. Well serives him right after all that. Specter aimed his ecto blast at the feline's frozen paws and let fire. Normally this would take serious control and concintration to break up the ice without harming the woman, and just then Specter had both of those in very short supply. Still he managed to break away most of the ice with out doing any other damage.
He looked the woman square in the eyes to make sure she understood he wasn't playing around. "Leave now, and if I ever catch even a hint of your wiskers again I will have a new fur skin rug. I'm leaving Sam I do not care what you plan to do, but I am out of here." With that Specter turned his back on the crowd and started walking away from the cops. There was so much confusion at that moment that he could easly slip away without being noticed.

Sam watched Marcus walk away mad he was about to follow him but he realized that he and the cat girl were surrounded. He got his wallet back which was good but if he didn’t act fast the officers would arrest him and well, Sam didn’t do to well in any type of prison. He snapped his fingers and the remaining ice that was around them disappeared all the ice except from that around his body. He had to think quickly then it hit him his wallet.
Sam looked to the girl and said, “I am assuming you don’t want to go to prison if you don’t want to get arrested follow me.” With that Sam walked to the police and said, “Nice work officers, I was sent here to test your reaction time to the incident that we displayed here.” With that Sam flashed his badge and put it away in his wallet. The police offices were dumbfounded and didn’t know what to do but seeing as Sam did have the badge they didn’t stop him.
Sam then yelled to the crowd that was around them, “This was a government test to see how the citizens of New York would react to a mutant using his powers so carelessly.” He paused for a second then continued, “If this wasn’t a test you would all probably would have been dead, the only ones that did a good job was the police officers for showing up so quickly. So let’s give them a round of applause.” With that Sam started clapping, others started and others didn’t. He then walked over to the cat girl and opened his wallet and pulled out a hundred dollars and then spoke so she could only hear it, “See I told you I would give you the money.”
Sara jumped and stumbled as the blasts came from the guy with green eyes. Only taking a step or two to catch her balance again. Her toes wiggled and her hand flexed. Popping her knuckles back into place.
"Leave now, and if I ever catch even a hint of your wiskers again I will have a new fur skin rug. I'm leaving Sam I do not care what you plan to do, but I am out of here."
“Got it. Don’t stomp on the toes of the green eyed monster.” Sara mumbled as she rubbed the back of her hand that had been trapped in the ice. I wouldn’t really like she could help if she ran into him again. Crap just sort of happened that ways to her anyways. Fate hated cats. That was a proven fact.
Sara watched the guy with green eyes leave, through the croud. Standing with her hands shoulder high as the police filed up. Making her right ear twitch.
“I am assuming you don’t want to go to prison if you don’t want to get arrested follow me.”
“Prison wasn’t exactly on my to do list.” Sara said just loud enough for Sam to hear. At least Sam was the name that green eyes gave him.
“Nice work officers, I was sent here to test your reaction time to the incident that we displayed here.”
Sara followed and moved her hands to her hip. This wasn’t going to work… Was it.
“This was a government test to see how the citizens of New York would react to a mutant using his powers so carelessly.”
Someone would have to be an idiot to believe this…
“If this wasn’t a test you would all probably would have been dead, the only ones that did a good job was the police officers for showing up so quickly. So let’s give them a round of applause.”
And it worked….. Wow….
“Ok where’s the blinky thingy, because I feel like I’m in a MIB movie.” Sara said giving a half hearted applause to the police.
She tilted her head as Sam returned to her with that wallet, but she didn’t stand still. Instead she started walking in the general direction that was away from the police.
“See I told you I would give you the money.”
“I already took my share while I was running.” Sara reached into a pocket and pulled out a crumpled bill, before shoving it back out of sight. Even though people were still staring at her, she pulled her hood up, and began tugging at her collar to readjust the light overcoat.
Specter turned to see if Sam was following him through the crowd. However the ice mutant wasn't there instead Specter saw him walking right up to the cops. Now what was taht idiot up to. Specter turned to watch what was going on while still far enough into the crowd that it would be hard for somebody to spot him. Because he was so far away Specter couldn't hear what Sam was saying to the cops, but he did noticed Sam showing one of them his wallet. Then the Ice man turned back to the crowd and shouted something about a goverment test.
A little ham to go with a load of bull. The guy really needed acting lessons. Still it seemed the crowd had bought it. Specter figured people would believe anything if they really wanted to. Well somehow Sam had wessled his way out of this one, but just wait till he got back to the mansion after this was all over the news. Whatever it wasn't Specters problem. Sure there might be a few clips of him being there. However all the attention would be on the 20 foot dome of ice. Even if he had been spotted Sam was still the target.

As the cat girl was walking away Sam called out so she could hear him, “if it was under different circumstances I’m sure we would have got a long pretty well. See ya Kitty, sorry bout the violin comment.” He waved and then thought about getting out of the medias and the friendly officers attention. Smiling he took a bow and said “Ladies and Gentlemen thank you, you were all a terrific audience.” With that Sam lowered the temperature around him and made a mist so thick he was able to catch up to Marcus and lose his ice armor without any one noticing. Sam looked back at the news stations hoping that Neena and the other X-Men wouldn’t see his little outburst.
Sara looked over her shoulder as she was walking. It was sort of surprising that he was still speaking to her. Her right eye brow raised.
“if it was under different circumstances I’m sure we would have got a long pretty well. See ya Kitty, sorry bout the violin comment.”
“No. I don’t think you’re sorry.” She had a smirk despite the comment. It was odd. She just pick pocketed the man and he was suddenly being nice. “See you Sam. If that is your name.” Sara turned a corner and disappeared.
