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.

Mike kept moving along with her, not letting her get any farther than right next to him. "You're the boss, but you know that it's a bad idea for you to fight right now."
As he thought this to Tricity, the discarded guns all lifted off the ground, aiming directly at Eliza.
" Look, I got nothing against you. I'm sure you are a nice person. But this is business. I don't want to kill you, your pregnant after all. But, I have to do my job. It's all I know. " Eliza noticed the guns pointed at her. " I see your friend is quite similar to me. He jumps right to killing. " she said with a smirk as she took her dagger out of her hidden sheath on the inside of her jacket.
*tricity began to have a blue ora around her as the electricity that was still left inside of her came to life and a electric ball formed in her hand.* "There's no way you are getting to me with this firepower and my friends."
All of the guns cocked. "I'd much rather you turn around and walk away," Mike said. "It'd be more healthy, don't you think? Especially with five guns pointed at you, and you being-" the dagger was yanked cleanly out of her grasp, "-unarmed."
" I'm not unarmed anymore. " Eliza said as the dagger came flying back into her hand. " Thanks for the ability. It will be useful for as long as I have it. " Eliza smirked, having assimulated his ability to move things with his mind when he tried to take the dagger from her hand. She then looked over to the guns, which turned slowly to point towards Tricity, Cassiel, and Davon. They then aimed at the ground, and unloaded into it. " I'm not a big fan of guns. Such a cowardly way to kill someone. " She then turned to looked back at Tricity. " I can copy your ability also. " Eliza said, a smile crossing her face.
*tricity never met anyone who could copy the powers of other mutants. this was becoming a lot more serious than tricity thought. she quickly tried to talk to cassiel, hoping he would hear her.* Cass, we have to hit her all at once to knock her out so she won't be able to use our powers against us.
"How about I just hit her over the head with as many hard things as I can find. No need to give her your power, or for you to strain yourself," Mike thought to Tricity. Somewhat angrily, he reasserted his control over the weapons, turning them back at their propper target. Several basketball-sized rocks from the flowerbeds floated up as well.
Davon, not hearing the mental conversation between the two from the school, sized up the assassin. (including the mimicry) He tried to decide between two actions. The sun was a con for one of them, but he didn't have to take his coat off for the other... plus, it would surprise her.
Having made up his mind, he inhaled sharply... Don't know if you're listening, dude, but duck and cover man! he thought loudly.
He opened his mouth and bellowed forth a torrent of flames at the woman, hoping she didn't have asbestos clothing.
Eliza quickly moved out of the way of the attack, using her new ability to force the flames to her left while she moved right. She was still saving her most unique ability. She brushed out the flames on her left sleeve. " Ass-hole. " Eliza said under her breath. She then glanced at Tricity's stomach. " So, when are you due? " Eliza asked. She was not worried about the guns, seeing as they were without ammo now. The large rocks also did not worry her too much.
*cassiel pulled tricity down as the flames errupted, but the woman dodged out of the way only getting a bit of the blow.* Now Cass! "Don't open your mouth every again about my baby. I promise you'll regret it." *he apparently told davon the plan as well when all three used their power simultaneously. a dark cloud rose overhead and tricitys eyes turned black. the rocks cassiel had were flying toward the assassin and demon was pulling back to let out a massive flame.* "NOW!" *the cloud above tricity opened up and a lightning bolt struck down at the same time the rocks and flames headed toward eliza.*
" Ah shit. " Eliza said as she realized that she could not stop all the attacks. She put her forearms up as she took all three attacks head on. The lightning bolt knocked her off her feet, as the rocks crushed against her body. The flames sent her flying into a tree, which broke as her side smashed into it. She slowly got to her feet, her left eye closed, breathing heavily. The last thought that went through her mind as she fell to the ground, conciousness leaving her was " Why'd I take this job? " She hit the ground hard.
*tricity swaggered and grabbed onto cassiel for support. there was small current that still ran through her as she touched mike. she apologized, knowing the shock probably felt like a sharp static electricity. after a moment of cassiel holding her, tricity knew her eyes were back to green and pulled back and stood up lookng over at the woman.* "Just...put her down in the cells for now. I'll...get...the Doc to look at her momentarily." *tricity instructed as she watched them pick her up and drag eliza by the arms to the mansion. she followed behind them, but before she went some twenty-five feet, tricity collapsed on the grass and was unconscious.*
