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.

¨you travel a lot , we are both travelers and evolutions . i lived in Clifton , and when a certain incident happen i left the city to travel ... i am traveling since that day . the only problem come with winter ... thanks to my power i dont had to worry about food but cold nights obviusly are a problem ... well but changing the subject , do you know other evolved people ? i mean ... do you have friends like us ?
Fausto start thinking about the mansion and Torq, and when he meet with him casually and that casually take him to the mansion ... he was thinking saying the blind man about the mansion but he dont seem the kind of man that need help of some type ... and nobody tell Fausto that was right to invite every mutant he meet ... so he prefer to keep the secret ...
i wont tell him about the mansion ... perhaps he is an spy of a evil corporation or gang ... but perhaps i ignore the existence of the mansion in the first time but is easy knowing between others ... he could have connections in the city ...
¨if you dont notice i like to talk a lot , do you like the tv shows of questions and answers ? i love that kind of programs ... i learned a lot with these programs ... ¨
Fausto stop talking cause he want to ask something more important ¨do you know a gang called Bloody Eye? do you can move a few connections to know about them ? you seems a guy that know how to obtain information ... ¨

The questions that were coming randomy from Fausto made Luke smile as he waited for an opportunit to answer but then the more serious question came his way.
¨do you know a gang called Bloody Eye? do you can move a few connections to know about them ? you seems a guy that know how to obtain information ... ¨
Luke's expression turned serious as he leaned back in his chair and tried to think if he had ever heard any mention of 'Bloody Eye'.
"I don't recall ever hearing that name but I can ask a few of my contacts in the security industry... they might know something. Is there any place I can reach you if I do get some information?"

Fausto jumped of his chair , his face show a weird mix of emotions ... his smile was the smile of the one that recover something beloved to him that was lost a long time ago , but his eye shinning with a fierce fire of courage and revenge. someones says that revenge is sweet , Fausto was feeling his vendetta more closer than ever..
¨Seriously , you will do that for me ? well i dindt recall the location of the place i am ... i know how to go there but i dont know where exactly is ... but if you want , we can meet in this cafe in a week , is that right?i cant believe i gonna found them , after all this time ...¨
Fausto look there and here with expectation ... he was hopeless expecting a man in a large coat to give a letter to the blind man with the location of the gang ... likes he was thinking nothing like that happen . but he felt more closer the possibility to found the location of the gang and eliminate they at all cost with the weapons they hate , his mutation.
¨i have a question wandering in my mind ... why are soo kind with me ? you are a type of pervert ? i already know that i am cute but ... why are you gonna waste your time to search for a gang that don't do anything to you? sorry streets life made you a little paranoid ... if better be safe than sorry later ...¨

Luke nodded slowly, his mind still racing as he did his best to dredge up any memories that he might have of this 'Bloody Eye' gang. "I can meet you back here in a week but there are no guarantees I'll know anything by then. I'll do my best but it may take more time than that."
¨i have a question wandering in my mind ... why are soo kind with me ? you are a type of pervert ? i already know that i am cute but ... why are you gonna waste your time to search for a gang that don't do anything to you? sorry streets life made you a little paranoid ... if better be safe than sorry later ...¨
"No, nothing like that." The blind man answered with a chuckle after taking the last sip of his water, "I've had many misfortunes in life but I've also been blessed with many gifts. Resources of both money and people are one of those gifts and if I can help someone with those resources I'm bound to do it. Especially if that person has the X-Gene as I do. Check back at this cafe in a week... if for some reason I can't make it I'll leave a message with the head waiter. Ok?"

Fausto stand up and go toward the man ,he give his hand to greeting him .
¨definitively you arent a normal guy . you are a different kind of man and thats the thing this world need well in one week i will be here but whats the name of the person who will help me so much ? i say mine in the show but you dindt say yours¨
Fausto start thinking and quickly add something more to what he says, he start to feel guilty about the thing he doesnt say because that afirmation wasnt real ... names dont describe the person ...
¨well ... names dont have much meaning ... sometimes i am Fausto Martense , sometimes i am Iron and other only Mouth ... there are days that i am Fausto Martense Iron Mouth ... the important is the person, not the name or title he or she had . in any away languages are dictatorial ...give me a reason why the apple is called apple ...is only one selfishness of humans giving randoms names ..¨

Luke reached out slowly, still refusing to betray his actual powers at the moment. Moving his hand slightly he made contact with Fausto's and gave it a firm shake.
"Well even though names are the selfishness of humans," The man said with a slight chuckle. "Mine is Luke... Luke Jacobs. As I said, if I'm not here for some reason just ask the head waiter if he has a message for Fausto. There'll be something even if all it says is that I'm still working on it."
Slowly standing, Luke gripped his stick firm in the left hand, nodding to the young man. "It was nice meeting you Fausto. Thank you for the conversation and hopefully I'll speak with you again sometime soon."

Fausto left the local with a raging desire in his heart, he want to eat all the member in that dammed gang , perhaps the gang have weapons or things like that he could take and start his own gang , a gang to fight bad gangs and free the city of injustices... first the city later the world. that crazy thought bounce in his mind, and the only thing Fausto can thought was in how he have to do to eliminate the gang. he walked slowly toward the mansion , he didn't have a reason to return quickly ...
The week go slow , all the others look happy ... all the people in the mansion was preparing things for the start of the school year ...apparently he was the only one thinking in something more importantly than school. is they could kill all these murderers , he will become a murderer too . but a murderer that fight again murderers , a bad man that do good things ... or something like that . Fauto was really sure that injustices have to be erased no matter what . and one person have to do the dirty job...
When the week end , Fausto go toward the cafe at the same hour he meet with Luke before. the cafe was full of people , so he stop walking a meters before , and look for the man ...

Luke sat quietly sipping at a bottled water as he kept his senses up, waiting for Fausto to arrive. From the passion he had heard in the young man's voice he was sure that there was no way he would skip this meeting so it was just a matter of waiting.
Things had stayed quiet for the beginning of the week and none of the sources that Luke had contacted knew anything about the 'Bloody Eye' however towards the end of the week Wraith had been much more successful. From the sound of what he had disocvered they were an extremely dangerous gang and Luke had to wonder whether he really wanetd tos end Fausto to face this tough of a group. "Is he ready for this?" He silently wondered, "And is that my decision to make?"

Fausto Finally found Luke between the huge amount of people gather there ... the sun bright strong in the blue sky without any cloud , the day was wonderful to go out and take a walk ... but Fausto dont saw all these things , they got forward to him with only one question in his head ...his had bags under his eye , he didn't sleep well since the last time he meet with Luke ... his head don't stop even a moment thinking in all could happen if he go agains Bloody Eye and beat them . he was sure Luke could help him to found them. Fausto walked toward him with a tired face but with a big smile in it ...
¨hello Luke !! how are you man ? tell me , what do you found ? you know the place right ? tell me pleease .¨

"hello Luke !! how are you man ? tell me , what do you found ? you know the place right ? tell me pleease ."
Turning his face in the direction Luke offered a smile at the greeting but immediately became serious. "I did find some things about Blood Eye... are you sure you want to know where they are? From what I've found it they're full of murderers, rapists, and thieves."
The question was blunt but Luke had to ask because he was still torn himself. How could he send a teenager to face almost certain death? He didn't care how great Fausto's eating power was but up against multipe opponents there was no way this blind man could see the teenager winning.
"Are you sure you want to know?" He repeated as he waited for the young man to reply.

¨well , now that you mention it ... i am not sure i have to go ... *after saying this Fausto change his tone of voice to an overconfident and lazy way ...* oh man , i wanted to go alone and eat every member of the gang but if you say it is soo big ... i will have to look for a way of blow away all the dammed place . ¨
Fausto grins at the man , he seen a little worry about the gang thing and Fausto
¨who are you thinking you are talking too ? i am Fausto Martense , the amazing Iron Mouth . go it ? now tell me where the gang is ... things gonna heat up a little ¨

"I have one simple question." Luke spoke quietly as he turned his face as though looking off into the sky. "What is your plan when you find them? Are you going to turn them in to the police or are you out to get revenge? Maybe kill them?"
Luke had very strong views when it came to outright murder and he wasn't afraid to tell others where his values were. Was he above killing another person in self-defense? No. If it came down to his survival vs. an attackers life Luke would kill but to just set out with murder as your main intention was something completely different.

Fausto speak seriuoslly with confidence ...
¨well ... we can said i will take them to the police ...not a normal police ... and they will put them in a right judgment , but i want to judge them in this live . i want to avenge my mom and dad , all the others victims of they hatred too , i will kill them , and they souls will be judge in other place ... for another form of existence , or something like that ... i don't care about his souls i want they life , i want to take away the thing they take away from other... but with a different objective ... they seek destruction, hatred while i want justice ... ¨
He stop talking a second to see the expression in the man ... something say Fausto that the man don't wanted to give him the information...
¨just kidding, i am a little kid so don't worry ... i will do nothing with the information , i will grow up with hatred and when i have the right age i will join the police and in that moment i will capture the gang and be a hero , people would love me ...¨

"Outright murder, even justified, is still murder. Killing in self-defense is one thing but to go with the sole purpose of killing puts you in the same position as the ones that have previous hurt you." Luke's voice was quiet and serious but not mean or judgemental, "From what I hear the 'Bloody Eyes' are in an abandoned warehouse down by the docks. Number 329 if my sources are right."
Pausing for several moments Luke stared off into the sky, deep in thought. "Why do you hate them so much?" He asked bluntly, "Why are they different than any other gang?"

Fausto hear cautiously what Luke said ¨ in an abandoned warehouse down by the docks. Number 329 if my sources are right¨ he cant dissimulate the big smile that was in his face , finally he will be able to avenge his parents ... he thanks that the man cant see the big smile in his face , and he try all he could dissimulating the voice tone ..
¨if kill a murderer put me in the same position i will be outlaw to help other people ... the police and the laws cant do much for them ... i will be a grim angel if that if necessary to cut with the murderers ,rapes and thieves... do you really wanna know what they are different from other gang ? well , in first time ... it could seems a little stupid but i know about this gang existence. give me more names of gangs , tell me the things they do to others and i will do the same that i will do with this one . second ... that gang killed my mom and dad... don't tried to justify them ... they killed my parents because they were fighting to gain rights and equality for mutants , to make a safe world for they son .¨
He say all that with courage , confident and a little sadness in his voice but Fausto was smiling , his eyes shine with a great joy and hatred in it ... he was thinking in all these things since one week ago ...
