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.

Streak continued working when Sam left the room. He continued on his own tasks. He carved out the holes for the poled to go into. It would take a while before he would be able to get to the bottom of the holes he was making. It took him a while to figure out how to even carve it out; however, after some thinking he figured it out. He went through the floor to the where the pole was going to come out. The silver man created a sword and cut his way through it. After the holes were cut out he broke them down into smaller pieces so that he could carry them out of the room.
By the time he was done with that Sam had already brought the poles in, which were very large, and was about to start working on the bar. The next thing he knew his phone was ringing. He picked it up. It was Sam. He thought for a minute and said, "Na, I'll pick up some stuff like towels and alcohol a little later. Once I've finished putting these poles in." He hung up the phone and started to heave the poles into their respectful place. It was very hard to get the poles into the because they were so big. He had to cut them down a few feet before he was able to slide them into the holes.
The young man attached the poles to the roof of their office and they set all the way down to the bottom. He then rigged the poles to hide inside the walls of the three rooms so that they could keep their entrances hidden. Every time he put in the sensors it was easier and easier and he was able to do each one a little faster than he did the previous one. Once he had blended everything into the walls, so no one else would see the sensors that led to the poles it had been about an hour. Sam should have been back at about the time he'd finished this. He looked around. It was turning out much better than he had expected it to and it was going a lot faster than he thought it would.

It was a long drive home but with all the wood he had in the back he could understand why. It was a pain throwing and driving the truck into reverse and backing it up to the entrance but it was a lot easier than carrying it as far as he would have had to.
With the help of Sam’s golem of seven the work was cut down greatly. It only took a half hour to get all the wood for the flooring in the room a well as the thin pieces of wood that they would be using for other miscellaneous things.
By the time he was done it had seemed that Streak had already finished the task that he had set off to do before Sam had left. “They all in?” Sam asked with a grunt as he put the last pieces of wood on the concrete, “Cause this is going to take a while…” frowned Sam as he picked up the first piece of wood flooring and jammed it into the ground.
After four pieces were in Sam frowned and put his seven golems to work hoping to speed the process up, they did after all have a very big room to take care of.

"Yup. They're all in." Streak replied to Sam once he'd noticed that he'd returned. "It wasn't that hard. The bitch was getting the poles in the holes." He smiled "Hey that rhymed." Shawn walked around the room as Sam brought in the planks of wood he bought. As Sam started to put the wood down in their place it was apparent that it was going to take a while.
Sam immediately started to get to work. His golems helped him speed things along. Of course since Streak was done with the secret passageways he helped Sam and his ice minions out. It took a while before they finished putting the wood down in the rooms. Once that was done Streak moved immediately on to the remaining wood that was lying around. It was time for them to create their bar. He had a basic idea of how he thought the bar should look. It wasn't going to be that hard. Just create shelves, some support beams, and a counter top. Looking at the supplies that were lying around the floor he paused thinking. "What are we going to top the bar with? Or are do ya wanna just paint the wood?" He said before he continued to nail the wood together.

“To answer your question I think we should do a glass top or varnish that sucker, either way it would look cool.” Smiling Sam looked around and said, “Right think since the floor is in I’ll go out and grab the stuff.” Looking back to Streak he said, “just going to grab the stuff for the bed room and the bathroom and a few things for the main room.”
With that Sam headed out to the large truck that was parked outside and drove off. ‘Feel like I am on a shopping spree’ Sam thought as he pulled his large truck out of the drive. ‘First stop Sears’ Sam thought as he pulled the loud air horn.
An hour passed as Sam loaded the back of the truck with a large fridge, microwave, Stove, a dishwasher and a few kitchen cabinets. All were chrome plated while the kitchen cabinets were jet black. Nodding in satisfaction and the extra room in the truck Sam decided to go to his next store.
Another half hour passed by as Sam loaded the truck from his most recent stop. Best buy’s employees were shocked to Sam had bout the biggest entertainment system they had. Which included an 80-inch high def television, surround sound speakers a bluray player (along with a few dozen movies), and to top it off he bought a PS3 with a few dozen games along with a Wii, which of course included a few games. One thing was for sure Sam was not going to tell Streak how much this had cost odds were he would shit a brick.
After another stops, which included a bed/couch, super store where Sam loaded up two large couches a love seat and a lazy boy along with the bunk bed. “Starting to get full...” Sam said as he looked at the mass of sweet stuff he accumulated for their playroom.
The last stop was at a store called Jay’s the outside was riddled with neon lights, which caught Sam’s attention immediately. Sam entered the store and found some more stuff for the ‘office’ it was another two hours before Sam had left Jay’s and the truck was now full. With a nod Sam closed the back of the truck which now had two neon lights, a pool table, a popcorn maker and a nice dart board. “Think that should be enough for now” said Sam as he locked the back and headed back to the mansion.
It was a lot of money but luckily Sam didn’t have to worry about it to much, he was glad he had invested in a few Google shares a few weeks ago. Not only that but his past profession was a high paying one, a very high paying one.
Backing up into the mansion near the front door Sam called Streak up and said, “dude gonna need some help with this…”

Streak continued to work on the bar well after Sam had left. He wanted to make it look like it was professionally done. Since he was near a computer he was able to look up how to make the angle cuts so that the edges lined up and wouldn't stick out. After studying it for a while, and watching a few educational videos, he went to try it out on the pieces of wood. Things were going very well and the cuts were coming along quite nicely.
He had just fitted the last shelf into place when Sam had come back from the furniture shopping. "I'll be right there man." Streak replied setting down his tools and walking out of the room. Shawn walked up to the truck and saw all the furniture and things he'd bought. "Wow. That's a lot of stuff." He remarked. Streak then picked up and end of the furniture so that they could start carrying it all in. The sooner they carried it in the sooner they could relax on it. "Dude what'd you do buy the entire store out? Geez." He said chuckling a bit as he carried some of the smaller stuff up front into their respective places in their party room and their office. Streak was glad that Sam had thought to buy some things for their office.
Truthfully Streak had been so busy doing things for the room he hadn't even thought of putting things up in the office. Once all the small stuff was removed from the back of the truck all that was left was the bigger things that were a little more obvious being carried around the building than a few towels, lights, and other smaller things that looked like they were just for various things around the mansion. "Alright Sam grab the other end of this and we'll start to take this inside." He said to Sam as he grabbed the end of the couch.

The couch was the least of Sam’s worries, there were far more heavy and fragile stuff in the truck. The plasma screen in particular was tough to get into the office seeing as it was so big and so fragile if they weren’t careful it would be damaged. The rest of the stuff however was quiet easy to carry in. all it took was an hour and a half to get everything in the office. Now it was time for the fun to start.
It was now time to set everything up and of course he was going to let streak handle the electrical stuff. Sam was never too great with electricity. So Sam looked to streak and said, “I’ll get started with the bunk bed and let you deal with the wiring once you get all the outlets set up I’ll help plug everything in.”
Sam was almost positive that Streak was aware oh his weakness when it came to electrify so Sam was hoping Streak wouldn’t be to mad with all the work. Besides Sam was good at putting things together.

After the hour and a half of moving things back and forth, out of the truck and into the mansion. It took a while but they managed to get it all done relatively quickly. He didn't complain. Streak knew that Sam didn't like electricity. Streak didn't like it either but he didn't mind it when he wasn't using his powers. He also knew more about electrical systems than probably most in the mansion. Aside from the electricity mutants. "No prob man. I'll get all the wires set up." He said starting to sort through all the wires and cables. There seemed to be quite a lot here. Of course they were building a room from scratch.
Finally figuring out what cables would go where and what wires went to what piece of equipment he started the long and arduous process. After a while he figured out where the wires would connect to, to get their electricity to run all the appliances. The wiring took the most time out of any of the projects that he'd worked on today. It took him roughly two and a half hours just to get the wiring for the stove, refrigerator, and TV all set up. He sat back on the couch. It was very comfortable and he immediately relaxed. Taking a deep breath, he got up and finally said, "All the wiring's done. Now we just need to plug it all in and hook up the cables with the TV. Other than that we should be good to go."

Sam finished the bed a few minutes before Streak finished the wiring of the office, so he spent the few minutes moving the things that didn’t need to be plugged in off to the side where it would be less in the way.
Once again moving the television was the hardest thing he had to move mainly because he didn’t want to break it and television’s weren’t as durable as they used to be. The last thing he wanted to do was take it back and get another one.
It took another few hours to get all the electronics together and hooked up. All that was left was the furniture and they were done, “This place is finally looking good!” said Sam as he grabbed one side of the pool table waiting for Streak to grab the other.

Finally the wiring was finished and Streak out start plugging things in. That didn't take long at all. Maybe just a few minutes and everything was ready to go. Everything but the furniture. Shawn saw that Sam was waiting on him to move the furniture. He grabbed the other side of the pool table and they moved it into a spot that looked like the spot was made for it. The golems were busy moving other furniture into other rooms while Streak and Sam finished up the main room.
The couch was easy to move as well as the chairs and tables. Once it was all finished Streak stood back and looked at the room. "Well man I think we are officially done with this room. It looks awesome. I think we would give the mansion living room a run for its money if not the other way around." He inspected the bathroom and the bedroom. It was all looking perfect. No one would suspect that they had any secret passageways to other rooms in here. "Well, I'm sure we've got other things to do so we should head out." Streak finally said and they left the room together. The giant concrete wall entrance closed behind them as they left and they couldn't even tell it was there.
