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.

The young American-Asian frowned, her green dyed hair swayed in the winds as her glass like hazel eyes surveyed her surroundings. Strange... she thought she had seen him in Central Park! The one that Luna had met in her room, as a greeting on her first day at the mansion. It didn't start out too well their conversation as Luna was still nervous and wary at the time. As she did not take new people so well... so she snapped at Seizure for juts giving her a Greeting Gift!
The next thing Luna knows is that Seizure had disappeared for quite some time, which had the young teddy bear user worried and upset. Now Luna wanted to apologize, however that would not be possible if she couldn't FIND him first! She sighed as she swept her gaze over the street, having no clue where she was. In all fact she was usually at the mansion- Luna really had no other place to call a "home"... sweeping her hand through her hair Luna gave another sigh as she stood on the sidewalk, hoping by some miracle that she would run into him. And say sorry...
Another blissful day. Yes, it was quite cold and blustery and it was no time for dallying in the winter weather, but Garrett was feeling not only the power, but the responsibility of his choices. While his freedom had increased greatly, he had more than enough work ahead of him. Too many in the Order believed that being deviant and violent was enough to make a statement. Sure, it gets attention, though usually the wrong kind.
The Park always served as a place of resolution for him. He had spent time walking the paths, looking for more of his kind. He was surely surprised to see little Luna, the green haired girl who threw exploding teddy bears, standing on the street corner opposite him. As it was beginning to become twilight, he thought it best that she not linger by herself too long. Though her ability was strong, she was too young to have the wisdom to know when to use it. He thought of the birthday battle and how she had rained them down. She could have easily hit any of the X- folk as well as the Order.
He walked across the sidestreet and approached her."Luna, good to see you again. It's getting a bit late for you to be out this far alone isn't it?"

Luna turned to a voice that sounded familiar to her. Eyes widened a bit she gasped as she couldn't believe who she was seeing! So quickly too! "Seizure!" Luna gasped as she ran up to the order mutant giving him a hug before pulling away. Several questions hit her head like a dozen mallets as she tried to think of something to say first. "I-I mean- well..." Luna shuffled her feet nervous. "I-I'm sorry for back at the mansion a few, was it months ago?" She questioned looking away from Seizure in thought. "A-Anyway, I'm Sorry and I was looking everywhere for you and now you can come back to the mansion! I missed you- even if I didn't know you very well but-" Luna began to rant as she then caught her self and blushed at her talkative nature at the moment. "S-So.. are you coming back?" Luna asked finally looking at Seizure, hope filling in her eyes. Besides it's probably her fault for him leaving anyway.. or atleast she thought that..
The green haired girl seemed at once excited and surprised to see him. Garrett was caught off guard a bit himself, though he tried to keep a serene demeanor. A large hug came after her initial shock of surprise. Garrett was thoughtful enough to let their hands touch as she slid free from him. It gave him the opportunity to get yet another nervous system mapped. The sheen of her unique nervous system sketched itself as she stammered out more to him.
"I-I'm sorry for back at the mansion a few, was it months ago? A-Anyway, I'm Sorry and I was looking everywhere for you and now you can come back to the mansion! I missed you- even if I didn't know you very well but-" It was quite a chaotic jumble spilling from the young girl's lips. HAd she truly believed that her actions when they met would drive him from the Mansion? Of course not. It was simple naivete, the kind that came with genuine innocence. That would be why Garrett didn't recognize it."S-So.. are you coming back?" The youth's eyes filled with a shine of another emotion, though this one was not lost on the man. Hope.
" I'm sorry to disappoint you, Luna. I have left the Mansion for good. I live here at the Sanctuary now. You see, I have always felt that those of us who are branded mutants and worse are actually the eventual evolution of humankind. We are their betters and superiors. Once our numbers increase and humans learn their place, we will all get along sportingly. Until then, though, I must work toward the goal. The goal to make humanity aware of the presence and existence of their true masters." He inhaled sharply through his nostrils, his lungs swelling with pride. " Oh, and by the way, it had nothing to do with you. You are okay in my book."

Luna stepped back a bit in surprise not fear. No not fear- what was this? Betters? Superiors? Luna couldn't believe what she was hearing! Shaking her head a bit in disbelief she frowned before looking at seizure as though he was someone completely different. Was this the "true" Garret? The one she never got to truly know? "What the heck are you on?!" Luna shouted obviously angry and confused and hurt... "Betters? Superiors?! We're their equals damn it! Not some godsend beings!" Such language from the little female, but right now Luna couldn't understand- this was too much for her innocent mind to comprehend! Her body shivered in confusion. "Look me in the eyes and tell me it's not true! You don't believe this do you?" Luna spoke looking straight into Seizure's eyes her own hazel orbs not faltering one bit. She needed to know, and his eyes would tell all...
Any look of hope quickly turned and over-ripened into betrayal. Garrett expected as much. It probably wouldn't be the last look of such scorn. His did not blink. They stared locked with Luna's own. She ranted, believing him to be completely out of whack with her own ideals. The ones drummed into her head by the X's. While he felt the urge to lash out at her and truly show her what he felt like, Garrett took the most obvious route. Education.
" I absolutely believe in what I am saying, Luna. I did when I moved to the Mansion initially as well. It took time and patience to see the true meaning for me. Let me ask you something yourself. Were you in the Registration Camps? Do you see the looks ranging from scorn to disgust from humans? They don't even see us as allies. They see us as 'freaks' and yet we are the first they call out for should something outside of their capacity show up. Humans would probably be just as happy if we didn't exist at all. Why struggle a losing fight for equality? We are their obvious superiors. We started as humans but our superior genetic structure awakens and shows us the true path. Can you not see such a thing yourself?"

Luna looked down at the ground her mind trying to comprehend everything she was hearing! This- This wasn't right! Mutants were not Humans superiors were they? Thinking back a bit she remembered how scared she was finding out what her powers were capable of... on her last day of school before she went to the Xavior Mansion a boy muttered 'freak', but Luna thought he meant someone else! How stupid was she?! Tears began to prick her eyes as she resolved herself. NO! She would not turn into a monster!
"What you're saying Seizure.. some of it may be true.. but-" Luna looked into Seizure's eyes before speaking. "Think about it- if we are superior to humans won't someday someone will be Superior to us?" Luna mentally smirked. Yes there was always someone more bigger and powerful then you as the years ware on.Maybe it was time for the student to teach the Teacher a lesson or two? Luna gripped her fabric in her jeans prepared for anything. Her senses had sharpened over time, she was ready for anything!
Garrett watched the young girl's features as he had spoken. His rhetoric was sound and he felt as if his heart was in the right place, yet he felt some kind of pull on his heart. Here he was, seemingly dashing the hopes of an innocent and he even detected a hint of anxiety and possibly fear from her. What was he becoming? Why was the world turned upside down? It was easy to believe that humans were worthless with exclusions. He didn't want to believe that his parents were worthless
"What you're saying Seizure.. some of it may be true.. but think about it- if we are superior to humans won't someday someone will be Superior to us?" More sense streamed from the child's lips. He knelt down so he wasn't looking down at her before speaking, his own eyes meeting hers." I appreciate what you are trying to do Luna. Really, I do. Truth be told, I have no idea what I am doing right now. However, I am not coming back to the Mansion." He looked down at the ground for a moment.Where would he go? What would he do? Now wasn't the time for what ifs." Thank you for giving me another perspective. You should run on back to the Mansion before it gets too late." He summoned a pathetic version of a smile and gave her a small kiss on the forehead before rising to his feet.

Luna looked at the ground than up at Seizure. 'What? Did I just do again?' She thought confused as she store at Garret obviously confused, but decided whatever she did was good. Funny thing was she barely knew what she was saying! It just sort of tumbled out of her mouth like a broken dryer... But here now Luna was having doubts about her own place at the mansion... Was it really where she belonged? Why was she thinking such things?! She was a good guy- right? Shaking her head mentally she gave in inward sigh before she gave Seizure a quick smile and a hug. As indeed the sun was setting. wow time sure does fly! "Your Welcome Seizure!" With that she let go and turned around, running off back through the park and towards the mansion. Her mind thinking of all that happened that evening- maybe... maybe sides were not defined by black and white? And maybe- Luna would figure herself out more later in life? Luna smiled as she ran towards the mansion doors grasping the handles. "Thanks Seizure" She whispered before opening the door and entering the building.
