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.

"God, sometimes I wish it were the old days." Orion said as he turned his attention to cleaning his broadsword. Ire nodded into the firelight. Using his hunting blade Orion again stuck the blade into the sizzling meat and it was still un satisfactory, but it was getting there. "It'll be ready soon." he nodded toward the beast over the fire.

"Good, I could use a good old 'home' cooked meal" Ire said with a smile.
It was dark now and the fire was all the more bright. It made Ire happy to have the warmth of the blaze encase his body. He removed his mask and set in in a pouch within his cloak and took a deep breath. Even the air was on his side this night.
Orion looked up at Ire. Yea its been quite a while since Ive cooked like this. I do miss it, though." Orion said. He grinned at Ire once again and said to his old friend. "Its good to see your full face old friend, youve kept it hidden long enough." Orions hulking form was bent over a small shaprening stone and his hunting blade. It really felt like the old times.
Orion nodded and cut a thinck chunk off for Ire. Handing it to him he then cut a thick piece for himself. Tearing off a piece he tasted hot, juicy, seasoned meat. It tasted so good. the juice dribbled down his chin onto his shirt. "oops." he mumbled and pulled his shirt off so as not to dirty it any more. He grinned across the fire to Ire. Then took another bite.
Grinning Orion responded with. "Yea, Tricity kinda likes it when I do things of this nature. I think she likes it so much because she doesnt do it and its so brutish to her. As for the cooking skills, Ive learned alot and found several new ways of cooking things, but the old traditions are never forgotten." he said brandishing his knife as he cut into another piece revealing bone. "You I see are still as dainty as ever, though." Orion said pointing to his perfectly clean shirt and cloak.
*archon lead tricity up into the woods to find orion and ire. she'd hope it would be soon because she had her high heels on, trudging in the ground.* archon...are we almost there?? *he looked back at her and licked her hand, continuing on the path.* why couldnt orion find an animal that spoke... *tricity said allowed, laughing to herself. suddenly there was a warmth and a bright orange glow on her. she looked through the trees and saw the two sitting down by a fire. archon bounced away from her to meet up with them and possibly steal the meat she smelled cooking. as she approached the two men began to pull their swords, but when archon came into view, they sheathed them again.* calm down...it's just us... *tricity said, kissing orion on the cheek as she sat back down.* what smells so good?? *she asked, looking around and seeing the dead animal.* oh gross....nevermind....
Orion was in the middle of handing Archon a piece of meat when she said what she did. His head went back and he roared in laughter. As his laughter died he kissed her on the cheek and patted the wolf on the head as he ate. "Ire and I were just talking about you." he said to Tricity.
Orion chuckled at her disgusted faces. "Well not much hun it was just the usual, you know." he said winking at Ire through the flames. She raised an eyebrow at him and Archon nudged his arm for another piece of meat.

Ire saw the wink then looked off into the night sky. There were so many stars in the sky tonight and this brought a smile to his face. The stars always made him happy, but he could hardly remember why. Something told him that it must not have been important.
hmm...well i hope it was good! *she said, sitting down on the ground on the side of orion. she leaned her head on his knee and watched the burning fire.* have you manly men been out here all of today?
