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.

Gabe concentrated as hard as he could. One minute felt like 10, and 10 minutes felt like forever. Just as he was about to give up, 20 minutes after they had come into the infirmary, Gabe gasped. He had just seen something, but he wasn't sure what to make of it. It obviously had to be good news. Lee would probably be excited. But Gabe wasn't really sure. Gabe had seen Tarin following Lee around, but the weird thing was, they weren't talking, or smiling, or even holding hands. He was just following her around. He kept looking, trying to take anything at all in to tell Lee. But then the vision started to fade to black. Gabe grasped desperately as he struggled to keep the vision going, but it was gone. He took his hand from Tarin's forehead, and the exhaustion set in almost immediately. His shoulders sagged as he turned to Lee, but he had a smile on his face. Not a smirk, or a grin, but a full-fledged smile. He walked over to Lee, and stopped next to her. In a voice barely above a whisper, he addressed her.
"He was up, following you around. I couldn't readily recognize where, it was a little hazy, but he was definitely following you around."
He sighed, and sat down on a chair in the room.
"I'm pretty tired now, so if you don't mind, I'm gonna head back to my room for a nap. I'll talk to you later Lee."
Gabe stood up, and headed for the door, stopping to hear her reply, if she had one.
Finally, Gabe moved again, his hand leaving Tarin's forehead, and Lee noticed that Gabe hunched a bit, but he was smiling. A smile, that was a good thing, right?
Lee smiled back at Gabe as the younger man walked around the bed and whispered. Other than the beeping of the machines that were hooked up to Tarin, the room was quiet, so Lee had no problem hearing what Gabe had to say. And then her smile grew even wider.
"He was up?" She asked a little breathlessly. "He was awake and moving around? Oh thank god," Lee finished with a sigh, her eyes closing in relief. This was the best bit of news that Lee had gotten in weeks.
But then Gabe said he was tired, and was going to go take a nap. Opening her eyes once more, Lee nodded. "Go ahead," Lee said as she watched him walking toward the door. "And thank you so much for that, Gabe."
It really didn't take long for him to leave the room after that, just a few more seconds really. Lee then turned to look at Tarin again before sitting back down in her chair beside his bed. Gabe had seen him up, awake. Everything was going to be fine!

Gabe left the room, but looked back one final time as Lee thanked him. He smiled, unnoticed, and watcher her smiling like a kid at Christmas. And Gabe, he was her Santa Clause. He headed back upstairs, and entered his bedroom, falling onto his bed, falling asleep almost instantly.
