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.

"Yummy," Arielle said looking down at the plate in front of her. She took a forked and scooped some of the eggs onto it and brought it to her mouth. "Not bad," she giggled teasingly at Geo and watched as he went to make coffee. "Remind me to pay you back one day. I make a mean strawberry cake." she said taking another sip of her soda. There wasn't really much to talk about. Then again, considering what had happened awhile ago, there was a lot to talk about.
"So...how do you feel?" she asked him setting her fork back down and resting her elbow on the table with her hand to her cheek. "Well I can guess how you feel, but do you feel any better?"
"Well thanks." Geo chuckled the words while pouring a coffee. He then sat across from Arie and but the mug on the table. "Funny, first time we met we had breakfast." He said looking over to Arie as he took a bite of his own food. He thought it was kind of funny that this was the third time they had been around each other but they had been through so much. Which reminded him that as soon as they finished eating he had to get to work on helping her solve her multiple personality problem.
"Well, I still kind of regret puting you through that. I mean, it was wonderful don't get me wrong but I know that you regret it happening." He looked up on Arie with concerned eyes, his eyebrows tilted in concern.
Arielle looked at Geo as he started his regret because of her own of having slept with him. She looked away for a second to think, then turned back his way and began to speak. "I don't regret being with you, because you are a great guy. I just regret the circumstances it happened under. If I were single, heh, I would have definitely went another round or six, but I've been claimed...at least, I still think I am." she said sighing.
"Like I said, we'll just get over this in time. I like to think that everything happens for a reason, not matter how messed up it is. Not saying that Being with you is messed up, but you get my drift."
"I know how you feel, I felt the same way about Deja the first couple months she was gone, heck I still get that feeling every now and again." He shivered slightly thinking of what Deja's reaction would have been to this situation. He had to stop doing that to himself, 'remember Geo, she's gone and not coming back. Stop worrying about her.' He absentmindedly took a drink from his coffee. The burning sensation from the liquid briefly distracted him for a moment. He shook his head slightly then looked back up to Arie.
"If you believe that everything happens for a reason you have to take the bad too. Maybe your meeting me was a way to help you realize Aiden is gone, or maybe it was so that I could help you in your little episode last night. I don't like the idea that everything happens for a reason. I like to think I control my own destiny."
"I can understand that you think you're in charge of your destiny. I mean, you're the one who makes the decisions about what or where your life is going. Then again, how do you know that you were meant to make those decisions? You like cars so you chose to own your own garage, but how do you not know that you were meant to became a mechanic? That you were meant to be born a mutant? We could debate all day about it," she smiled.
"And about my personality disorder..." she began on that, choosing to avoid the subject of Aiden. "I don't know about it. Maybe it is just my powers going haywires, but it comforts me to have you with me to help deal with it." she said.
"I chose to own a garage because I needed my own place away from the X mansion and fixing cars is the only thing my father taught me and it's the best way I know to make money. As for being a mutant I just think that I was lucky to be born the next step in evolution." Geo finished up his plate and waited for Arie to finish her's too., he stood and placed both plates in the sink.
"And I've been meaning to talk to you about last night. I think that maybe something you were feeling set off your powers. Like strange things happen to my powers when I get angry." He said sitting back down across from Arielle. "I think that because our powers are based on the elements they're wild like the elements, so if we can figure out what made you go exorcist last night we can figure out what to do to keep it from happening, and I want to stay with you till you figure this out."

"That's sweet...perhaps my powers are acting up to my emotions. Being an elemental is awesome. At first I thought my powers were wack because I mean...turning into water? That's kind of lame, until I realized how powerful water can be. And so is earth. I'd like to see your powers in action sometime. It really is sad we're fighting on opposite sides when we both want the same thing...to just be accepted for who we are, not what we are. Ah well what are you gonna do." the brazilian shrugged, getting up out of her chair and strolling over to sit in Geo's lap.
"Seriosuly. No regrets. If I ever do see Aiden again...well, I'll cross that bridge if I get to it. Besides, you were fun..." she grinned, pinching his cheek like a little child.
Geo smiled lightly as Arie walked over to his and sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist and laid his forehead against her shoulder. "We don't want to be accepted Arie. We want to rule like we rightfully should, the next step in evolution, the rightful owners of the planet. If we can do all these amazing things then weren't we ment to be the ones in charge?" He lifted his head off of Arie's shoulder and looked up at her as she pinched his cheek, which only made him chuckle.
"Okay, okay, no regrets. But I still say that you were the fun one, still deciding on whether you with pink or brown eyes is a better kisser though." He teased, leaning back and placing his hands behind his head in a mock of pondering.

Arielle's jaw dropped at Geo's last comment and she lightly punched him in his shoulder. "You're such a lamewad. Oh my god. Either way it's pink or brown it's still me!" she exclaimed. "I mean, it's not a hard decision anyway. Obviously I'm the best. You said I was perfect..." she smirked and leaned in to touch her forehead with his and have him a soft kiss on the lips.
"And I don't want to take over anything. Sure we may be the next step in evolution and if we're meant to rule the world, why not let it happen gradually. No need to take it by force."
Geo decided that it was best to drop the second mutant's place in society subject, he didn't want to have to fight. He lifted his hands in the air and held them like he was surrendering to a person holding a gun at him. "Okay, okay, you win, I guess you got me there." He chuckled with a smile on his face as he wrapped his arms back around Arie and pulled her closer to him, kissing her back gently. He liked being around Arie, he thought that with her being a water ele he would be repelled away from her but it only seemed to pull him closer, opposites attract. He couldn't help but chuckle at his own joke.
"Well, I don't know, you seem quite a bit more...friendly, when you go all pink eyed on me." He teased, "Then again, you can't seem to keep your hands off me anyways." He grined at Arie slyly.

"...You're right...." Arielle's smile dropped down into a blank expression. Why was she all on Geo? They were supposed to be just friends. Back at home it was alright to give your friends hugs and kisses to show affection, then again, those friendly kisses weren't the intimate ones she continued to have with this guy, not to mention friends don't do the dirty they had done just awhile ago and she didn't recall them ever agreeing to be friends with benefits.
"I can't do this anymore..." Arielle sighed and she looked down that the whole time around her neck, she was wearing the silver necklace that Aiden had gotten for her a few weeks back. She had forgotten she had slipped it on as she got dressed for the movies last night, and this whole time it was being worn as she was in the arms of another man. "I really can't do this anymore..." she said gently breaking away from the earth elemental's arms and removing herself from his lap.
"I don't want to keep leading you on like this, Geo. Because I can't move on until I'm certain that he his gone..." she turned to face Geo and bowed. "I really want to thank you for everything, because despite your choice of affiliation, you're still a man with a good heart...and I don't want to be leading you on, thinking that we can be like this when we can't. So, I'm just going to go. Good bye." she bowed slightly and hastily exited his garage. Knowing that he would probably try to come after her, the young woman transformed into water and pressurizing herself, she jetted off down the road, before he could have a chance to catch her. She needed to get away. She needed to get her head straightened out about the personality and her relationship and being near Geo with all that temptation wasn't going to help.
Geo was surprised by Arie's sudden change in mood. He stood when she left his lap and walked away. She apologized for leading him on. He was confused by her sudden mood swing, he wanted to get close enough to check her eyes but he thought it was a bad idea. "Arie, your not leading anyone on but yourself, you don't know what it's..." She ran through the door to the street. Geo ran after her, bursting through the door only to see her burst into vapor.
His face twisted in pain, reminded suddenly of what had happened with Deja. Whenever he thought he had something special it slid through his fingers, like water. He roared out a swear and a half dozen rock spires burst from the ground, scuring cars in reaction to his anger. He didn't scream in anger at Arie, but for himself for letting himself trick himself again. He realized to himself that he should have never opened up. With a heavy sigh Geo threw open the door to his shop and slipped inside.
Having gotten at least a mile away from the shop, Arielle paused in her escape and returned to her human self. As she had left she could feel the earth tremble and the scream from Geo but she couldn't muster the courage to turn back. Obviously he was upset, as was she. They were both two people who had their hearts broken, and found peace when they were together. Over the past few hours, Arielle had found herself grow closer to the earth elemental and that was exactly why she had to leave. She cared about him a lot, just as she cared deeply for her other friends So much that she didn't want those feelings to grow into more than a friendship. Not until she had closure of Aiden, whom as much as she hated for leaving her cold turkey, deep down she still loved him also.
"All for the better..." she said putting a hand over her chest and looked up to the sky. "It was then she realized she had left her belongings her purse and her cell phone at Geo's place and she sulked because there was no way she could return. Not after the dramatic exit she had made. Perhaps after a few days, she would return to get them, since there would be no way in hell an order member would be allowed on Mansion Grounds. It would give her another reason for her to see him again after all. Geo had been too good to her and she didn't want him to think that she had deserted him. She just needed space to work on herself and after that, then she would return. Until then....
