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.

Leila grinned moquingly as the horse girl started repeating the word 'swimming' a few times, as if she had never heard it before. Was she as stupid as she looked? In her opinion, Horses were supposed to be smart. She knew how to ride horses fairly well, she had took lessons during her few weeks in Spain when she had been about 8. 'This was just a waste of time,' she thought to herself as the horse lady talked on and on again.
The sun seemed to be setting a little, it was probably past four now, and her stomach confirmed that pretty easily. "Are we nearly done here?" she asked, as if this was just any meeting between Co-workers. "I sort of had plans after my swim." but right then, the Horse's target didn't seem to be her anymore, she wondered if taking a run for it towards the water could save her. She could Shift into a Dolphin in less then 10 seconds, then stay Underwater until she couldn't hear Hooves anymore.
Or swim far enough to shift back. That could always work, she felt a little bit better at the thought of having an escape planned. Leila's attention snapped back to the Horse, she was telling the Unicorn what to do now? Leila shifted her body, she could run quick enough, and the water wasn't far, only about a dozen feet away. She had always been a fast runner, maybe not fast enough to over run a Horse, but she could try!
With one quick motion, she was running. Thinking about the extra pieces of clothes in her car, she didn't bother to undress herself.

Pissy Mare Syndrome, sometimes abbreviated, was an affliction that commonly affected female equines and humans alike. Generally when females displayed signs of such an affliction, it was best to leave them to their own devices; to rage or grump as they liked without affecting others.
Although the centaur woman uttered such sentences as, >>>"Swimming. Swiiimmmmiiiinnnnng. Swimming. It kinda' rolls off the tongue, don't it" most of her words carried a hint of anger in them.
Even her actions were angry. For instance, after removing the bow from her hands, the unicorn found himself with an arrow poking uncomfortably behind his ear. Angry, then, was she?
>>>She tapped it lightly, whispering "Woah, woah there son. What exactly are you planning to do, eh? Stab me with that nasty horn of yours. Don't. Gonna bite me? Don't. Gonna kick me? Don't.
He wouldn't dream of doing any of those things. He didn't really want to pick a fight with her. She was technically his neighbor, and it would make things rather awkward if they were to become enemies.
>>>Just step off of my bow, and leave before I decide that maybe you are a threat to my life. I ain't no evil demon, but I don't take chances, and I don't mess around."
Sebastian snorted indignantly. That wasn't a bad idea. The blonde girl, too, saw the wisdom of a retreat and had already started sprinting towards the water.
Since he didn't particularly relish the idea of spending the next few hours healing from a bleeding head wound, the unicorn stepped off the bowstring very slowly. Very slowly he backed away, constantly watching to make sure his fellow quadruped didn't decide to attack their already fleeing blonde acquaintance or send an arrow flying in his direction. If she made sudden movements, he would be ready to spring into action, in interfere once again in the targeting of the helpless woman or to dodge incoming attacks should the centauride decide to carry through with her threats of violence. As soon as he judged that the bipedal woman had escaped safely, he too would be dashing off to relative safety.
Hylonme nodded as the creature stepped off of her bowstring, and she bent at the waist to pick it up. When she straightened again, the blonde girl was running, sprinting really, away from her, and the creature was backing away slowly. Hylonme shrugged and put away her bow. She never was trusting of humans, and the girl had scared her. She had revealed that she might be a mutant as well, but as she said to the creature, Hylonme didn't take chances.
(OOC: Wanna cut it off here or are you planning a bit more?)
