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.

As the gate opened before her, Nash didn’t waist any time in taking Rosemary’s hand and trotting forward. She made her way through the open gate and glanced around. It was virtually the same as it had been. Of course in the fading evening light it was strange to be standing on the grounds, watching the shadows stretch and shrink in interesting ways. It was one of the times she was glad Rosemary couldn’t see because as a child she had been terrified of the shadows outside her house at night. She shivered at the thought but covered it up by pretending it was the cold that was the reason. After all Rosemary was wearing Nash’s jacket.
“I wonder if the people from back then are still here?” It was a question she directed at Fausto but she didn’t look at him. She knelt and picked up Rosemary because she could see the girl shivering in the dark and knew she would only slow them done if she was walking. With the girls light body supported in one arm she reached out her free hand to Fausto before she started to walk the distance between the gate and the door to the mansion.

He hold Nash and start to walked at her side . his hand was cold and Nash was shaking for the cold wind in the evening ... He wanted to give his long raincoat to her ... but he don't wanted to show to her his paralyzed arm ,it seemed like dead . he was sure the arm will recover soon , it was only a kind of curse or a simple mind lock . perhaps in the dark she wouldn't notice it , but i didn't wanted to scare her .
¨i really don't have any idea Nash ... we are in a world that change constantly , a world that move itself every day ... things just changed ... but perhaps if we are luckies we could find some of our old friends of childhood or perhaps some one here knew is name and we could figure what happen to them ... i love that spot of the garden , i love to sit down in the floor and think .¨ He pointed a lace where a big tree grow ... ¨well that tree was a little more little when i was here ... but is the same spot ... don't thought i am weird please but isn't amazing the memories the smell of the grass you was before call to your mind ? this is my home , no doubt about it . the human mind store the information with the feelings and sensations in that moment ... so if you remake the same situation you will remember lots of thing ... like the smell of the grass after a rain ... dont made you think in all the rainy days you lived ? i love rainy days , walk under the rain and make paper boats ¨
They were arriving to the mansions doors , there also was a keypad . Fausto with a graceful move take off Nash hand and input the code quickly and accurate , the door lock open .after open the door he take Nash hand again .

Nash nodded as she listened. Her jaw was stiff from her teethes random fits of chatering. She was cold, she could feel even her leeches slowing down with the cold. If she didn't get warm soon her functioning would cease and she would end up fainting. Rosemary chattered along with her. Her small hand was Ice cold on Nash's hand. "I love the rain." Nash supplied, "I love water in general but the rains relaxing."
She waited well he opened the door and then went in as soon as he had taken her hand again. The blast of warm are that greeted her was almost invigorating. She instantly felt better as she stood in the bright hallway of the mansion. She released Fausto's hand so that she could remove Rosemary's jacket. Once her jacket was off Rosemary did a little hope step forward and reached her hands out so she wouldn't bump anything. Nash knew Rosemary would be able to sense any near by presence's, seeing as the mansion was almost packed to the brim with mutants. Though her daughter did something surprising by cupping her hands over her mouth and calling out in quite a mountain climber on a hill sort of way.
"EEEELLLLLOOOOoooooooo?" A pause followed and then she called again, "ANNNYYBOOOODDDYYY 'OOOMMMEEEE??" Trust Rosemary to announce their arrival.
The little girl's voice hadn't yet faded, before a ways down the hall a dark head peeked out from the kitchen doorway. It tilted towards the trio in the foyer, but didn't turn completely in their direction.
"Helooo! And who be you?"
Neena smiled and blinked several times. Through infrared she could see that there were three people in the foyer, but she already had a headache from an earlier class, and wasn't quite ready to strain her eyes to see who had arrived. She didn't recognize the little girl's voice, though it was cheerful and happy enough to enthuse anyone.

( OOC : sorry i don't understand very well what happen ... i just will go to believe you don't show yourself Neena )
Fausto didn't recognize the voice that answer Rosemary^s question ...he wasn't there a long time ago , so he didn't worried about the fact he didn't recognize that particle voice but he answer back any way ... he tried to make a funny show like the ones he used to make when he was young ... he couldn't avoid put in it a little of his unreasonable pride mixed with a tear of insanity ... he spoke quickly and with a big smile in his face , he was really proud of being a mutant .
¨helloooo heello lady . don't mess with me , you have to be kidding ... you don't remember the amazing and almighty Iron Mouth ? the man that can eat all he want without harm ? the legend that surpass the limits of humanity ? came here and i will bite you until you remember my name , dont worry that would last more than a couple of seconds ...i am not saying you will remember my name if i bite you but normal flesh dont resist my amazing corrosive saliva *giggle* . you have no right to forget my name ...¨
he stop a moment his monologue to take breath , but he ended laughing like a crazy ... he spoke again still laughing .
¨do you really dont recognize me ? oh well ... perhaps you are a newbie one here... i am Fausto Martense , the mutant that will conquer the world someday ... and this little cute lady is Rosemary and she is ...¨
Fausto ruffled Rosemary^hair when he say his name ... but he suddenly stop when he was introducing Nash ... perhaps she recognize that voice and wanted to introduce herself . he stop talking a little embarrassing and very blushed to let her continue .
Announce them she did. Rosemary's voice echoed in the hallway but the answering voice was clear.
"Helooo! And who be you?"
Oh! She recognized that voice. It was a distant memory to her. One of her older ones. She had heard that voice many times in her years at the mansions and knew who it was with only a little thought. Neena was one of those characters one didn't forget easily.
¨helloooo heello lady . don't mess with me , you have to be kidding ... you don't remember the amazing and almighty Iron Mouth ? the man that can eat all he want without harm ? the legend that surpass the limits of humanity ? came here and i will bite you until you remember my name , dont worry that would last more than a couple of seconds ...i am not saying you will remember my name if i bite you but normal flesh dont resist my amazing corrosive saliva.... you have no right to forget my name ...¨
Fausto's laughed didn't shock Nash much. Not much to be shocked by, it could be worse. She just did a half blink as he dramatically introduced himself and gave him a look out of the corner of her eye when he said he would bite her. She would wait for him to stop before she introduced herself. It seemed Fausto didn't recognize Neena or at least not her voice.
¨do you really dont recognize me ? oh well ... perhaps you are a newbie one here... i am Fausto Martense , the mutant that will conquer the world someday ... and this little cute lady is Rosemary and she is ...¨
Rosemary giggled at the hair tussle and squeaked out a ''Ello!' between her giggles. His pause was enough for Nash and she filled it with her voice. Her voice probably hadn't changed that much from her time as a teen. It was still as calm and patient as ever, no hint of distress was in her voice. Her posture alone showed how calm she felt at the moment. Both of these were something a younger Nash had always lacked. Of course she had never had much confidence and it had only come to her in the past few years.
"Hello, Neena. It's me, Nash. You remember, don't you? I'm the leech girl. I went to school here for a few years some time ago."
Of course she'd grown up enough from that time to actually talk for herself. Well, at least she didn't stutter when she did it anymore.
¨helloooo heello lady . don't mess with me , you have to be kidding ... you don't remember the amazing and almighty Iron Mouth ? the man that can eat all he want without harm ? the legend that surpass the limits of humanity ?
Iron Mouth? Oh, Neena remembered him, all right.
... and this little cute lady is Rosemary and she is ...¨
Rosemary? Rosemary, Rosemary.... She didn't know a Rosemary that young.
"Hello, Neena. It's me, Nash. You remember, don't you? I'm the leech girl. I went to school here for a few years some time ago."
Nash? Well now! How could she forget a gal with such a unique mutation?
Neena smiled and emerged fully into the hallway. "I haven't seen the pair of you in years. It sounds like neither of you have changed much."
She maneuvered the hallway to the foyer, avoiding obstacles easily despite the off-centered stare of her sightless eyes. She didn't need her guiding staff inside of the Mansion, nor the aid of her few working visions.
She paused near the little girl and tilted her head. "Rosemary, eh? What a lovely name. I'm Neena, kiddo. A pleasure to meet you."
Straightening up, she turned in the older pair's direction, and held her arms open for a hug. "And to what do we owe this reunion?"
"I haven't seen the pair of you in years. It sounds like neither of you have changed much."
"Sounds like you 'aven't changed much either." She smiled as she said it and watched Neena approach. It didn't seem like much had changed since she had left in the mansion. Really, though, it was only a few years ago.
"Rosemary, eh? What a lovely name. I'm Neena, kiddo. A pleasure to meet you."
"Neena?" Rosemary cocked her head and smiled. "Mommy told me bout you. She said you were mutan' too." Rosemary's head followed Neena as she stood up.
"And to what do we owe this reunion?"
"I was hoping to be able to stay here for awhile" At least until she got a job and could get her own place to stay.
