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.

Koga’s teeth almost immediately began to chatter as the air behind him started to cool ~~“Last rule of this scenario,” “Always watch your back… you never know if they have friends.”~~
Koga nodded upside down as he pointed the gun at same and grinned. “bang bang.” He tossed the gun to the side and hoped that his manner of walking up meant they were done with serial killer Sam. “You ever actually have days like thisss?” he nodded toward his surrounding implying the scenario.
~~“Simulation 2!”~~
He dropped to the ground and barely had enough time to cover his head and not get k’oed on accident by an Ice guy.
~~ “I got creative with this one, a cult of mutants kidnapped a young mutant girl, they plan on killing her after they do a ritual…” ~~
~~“Our job is to stay hidden until we can save her…” “Look who does that look like?” ~~
“that is Kat.” He said in a low hiss. “ that looks like Kat.” He corrected.
“~~You lead I follow, you make the calls Koga I do what you say, teamwork and smart decisions are key to save the girl.”
~~“Begin!” “So what’s the plan boss?”~`
He looked at the area. “how many of those Ice guys can you create? Having more on our side couldn’t hurt. He already had his shirt off and he began to slip out of his snap pants. Opting for the athletic shorts he had on under, he wasn’t willing to strip for training, but he would have if this was the real deal. He was then except for his shorts flush with the back ground taking on the color of a dimly lit grungy brick wall.
“We have as long as the ritual lassstsss to prepare and observe, first we need to gather info. If they start to move on Kat before we have more info I want as many of you Icee’s around her and fighting, put a cubical like barrier and anyone else that might be around as soon as you get the chance from there. “if we are only working in a pair one of neds to concentrate on defense the other on recon. I am more suited to retrieving her and you the fight. If we had more time I would look at other entrances but this requires quick action. Be on your toes, with mutants you can expect the unexpected.
“ok scratch the full defense on Kat, We need half as a distraction plus you at this entrance the other half in defense of Kats position. From there I am going to move in from the second level to sneak in from that side and hopefully Get her out the opposite side. You are going to hang back and keep you clones working, if we had more inour team you could act more directly, give me a twenty counts and then move.”
“Questions?” He waited and then answered. After which he said Count and bound off stick to the ground up until the moment he was sprinting up the wall lifting the window with ease and sliding in.

Grinning slightly when Koga corrected himself that it was a hologram of Katrina, most students still couldn’t tell the difference between the two which always made them react using their emotions and not their head, which usually leads to the scenario downfall. ‘The kid is quick’ thought Sam as he waited for orders that soon came from Koga as if he had it all worked out in his head.
“Seven total…” Sam said when Koga asked about how many golems he could produce. Sam then turned his head back to the other side of the hallway as Koga started to undress… “Hardly a time for that….” Sam muttered as his second thoughts on Koga being a good kid started to vanish. Vanish along with the rest of the kid, ‘Lizard boy’ Sam thought as he looked for Koga but only found his clothes on the ground and his shorts floating in the air.
Crouching down Sam nodded and said, “Twenty seconds, Got it…” Sam said as he watched Koga move. Once Koga was out of sight completely Sam focused ice around his body, and headed to the flight of stairs, seeing as he built this session he knew where everything was, even where the giant Yoshi Egg was…but the egg wasn’t what Koga ordered.
As he approached the first floor Sam picked up a candle stick and went “Clue” on one of the robed cultist’s head. After pulling him into the stairwell and hiding him Sam tossed the clock on and made his way for the Entrance/Exit of the room. Frowning slightly in the robe Sam grinned as he kicked the doors open after the twenty-second mark, “Hola, House keeping!” Sam said as he lowered his hood on his robe and waved to all the men who were bowing towards the alter.
“Help!” cried the Holographic Katrina as she spotted someone who could help her. Unfortunately for her Sam wasn’t here to save her only a distraction. “Sorry Holo Kat,” Sam yelled as he looked to the on coming cultist who were now pulling silver daggers. “Sharp!” Sam said as he dodged one and forced another mutant to stab another.
Koga Ran down a staircase and sprinted across the ceiling of the opposite room, He dived at the man closest to Kat and began to fight viciously as soon as he impacted the cult leader. It was hardly a fight as the older man crumpled beneath him. Luckily for Koga the old man had been confident enough not to draw his own blade that was intended for Katrina. Learning his lesson about the gun from the previous session he grabbed the dagger and backed up to Kat. He was doomed to fail, he couldn’t hold off four grown mutants and hope to save himself much less another, then Sam’s words rung like a gong in his head. ‘teamwork and smart decisions are key to save the girl’ that didn’t necessarily mean that it had to be with Cs. Why couldn’t the girl help save the girl?
“Kat, Help usss out, make the three of us Invisssible!” Koga exclaimed as he cut the ropes at his feet but had to hop back up to defend them from the first of four. After a moment however the first of the four looked very confused but then grinned. As he rose his hands and looked very wizardly, he pointed his finger tips at the ground and began to spray what appeared to be water on the ground. Koga leapt back and cut the last of the binding from Katrina’s wrist; He then grabbed her hand and propelled them as far as he could while Katrina found her feet when she did they switched off pulling and being pulled as they tired.
But they weren’t out of harms way yet they were just in a better position Koga stopped at the top of the stair case. And waited as another of the four mutants lead the group by his nose toward the pair. After handing Halo Kat the dagger Koga grabbed the rails and got ready to defend them. The hallway was a good position as only so many could travel up it and more so, they now had the advantage of being above the group. The bear faced cultist began to lope toward them as he got to the bottom of the stairs and set on the scent. Koga lifted him self by his arms, much like he would have on the uneven bars and then swung his legs forward as hard as he could. It was the ultimate sucker punch drop kick. The bearish foe toppled over and tumbled down into the others as he wasn’t expecting the blow he wasn’t ready for it.
Koga hopped down and then urged her to run to the window he came in, when the pair got their the water hose guy and another had made it to the top of the stairs.

Something just happened, he wasn’t sure but from his guess Koga just asked the Holo Kat to turn them invisible, which was a smart idea on his part but it also put them at a great disadvantage not only did it make them invisible to the cultist but it made them invisible to each other, not to mention the Holo Kat had a limited range and time limit. Sam figured he’d just go on a cultist-beating spree till he was able to find them.
Despite the fact that he was invisible the mutants could still track his movements, some had tracking powers some had hearing or scent. What ever they had they weren’t ready for Sam as he hit each one with a few combination kicks. He was glad that this program was recording because he wanted to see how cool it looked to see so many cultist get their but kicked by nothing.
Noticing a group of cultist running towards the stairs Sam figured that's where Koga and holo Kat were located. Thinking ahead Sam ran over to a wall and iced his and his feet as he started to climb hoping up over the balcony Sam saw two men standing at the top of the stairs.
Once he was off the wall and on to the balcony Sam charged towards the two men and did a running leap towards them, that's when he saw the beam or blue energy coming his way. As he crashed into the two people at the top of the stairs he saw the beam of blue skim the now visible shoulder of a very upset and pain filled Holo Kat. The illusion must have faded when she was struck for Sam could now see both Koga and Holo Kat.
His face now looking at Koga Sam waited for orders on what to do, if Holo Kat took another two hits the scenario would be over on account of something other than curiosity killing the Kat. It was up to Koga who was in charge to figure out what to do. Personally Sam would have had the long range fighter of the group cover their backside till the top of the stairs were reached, but that was Sam and Koga from what Sam saw so far had a different way of doing things.
Koga was ready to protect them with whatever he could, he wanted to get him and Katrina out the window. But he caught some ice on the wall at the stairway and took a step back and to the right instead the pair had no idea where they were so defense was still the best option.

“K are you alright?” “ put them on Ice cold! And block the doorway if you can!”
Koga didn’t even hesitate, He maneuvered around to the front of halo Kat these men were ready to sacrifice her and would receive no quarter. “crap” he exclaimed as he pulled Katrina away from the window. They were gathering out side and woud be scaling the wall soon enough, they couldn’t cover all the windows.
“lets keep going up see if we can’t make a roof exit. It was about that time that he saw Yoshi egg in the Corner. “ Ssssam? What issss that?” he pointed at it and it started rolling toward them.

It had been some time since the cult scenario started and like all of Sam’s training missions for his students it not only got harder but loopholes would start revealing themselves. In this mission the Yoshi egg would reveal its self and seeing as Holo Kat was just shot it couldn’t come soon enough. Failure or success Koga would learn the lessons each mission had hidden within it, along with leadership and teamwork one of the lessons that needed to be learned was nothing, as it seems.
The Egg was nothing more than a metaphor for unexpected help. After all how often does a giant Yoshi egg appear in real life to help out those on a mission? All Koga had to touch the egg and the scenario would be over, which couldn’t be better timing seeing as Holo Kat seemed to be near her end, once the first shot was fired more would soon follow making it impossible to save her from the cult.
“ Ssssam? What issss that?”
Punching one of the people he tackled out Sam looked up to the egg and blinked to Koga’s question, “It’s a Yoshi Egg…” said Sam casually as he stood up and pointed to it, “Everyone of my scenarios has an object or a loop hole making it that much easier for the group of students who participated in scenario to complete it with success.” He paused and continued, “It makes it a habit for those students to keep their eyes open and aware of everything around them.”
Aiming his hands behind Koga and Holo Kat a small jet of blue frost came from Sam’s hands as he created a small wall of ice, “I’d recommend you touch it so you can discover what is in the egg, could be helpful of harmful…” The egg was helpful but adding doubt to his students always made their choices that much more important. But that's what these missions were about instituting the foundation for the students to make critical decisions in critical situations.
“Yeah.” Koga agreed to the fact that they were in a random danger room setting so this made sense.
~~“I’d recommend you touch it so you can discover what is in the egg, could be helpful of harmful…”
Koga helped Halo Kat to ward Cs’s Capable protection helping her near him. He then Pu his hand on a piece of a large freezing Icicle and threw his elbow down on the side cracking it off near the Midde. He dashed across the room and tpped the Yoshi egg on top, on a big green circle. And then turned right around running for the staircase. Swinging the Icicle club at anybody who he could reach. The rest was up to.
“YOSHI” He could have sworn he heard the weird tongue sound Yoshi makes when eating an enemy. And the an honest to goodness life sized Yoshi ran up to his side and started devouring the enemyies while producing colorful eggs behind him. They in turn turned into more Yoshis and then the Yoshis were off and down the stair case.

The egg rolling toward them Sam grinned slightly as Koga successfully used Sam’s own element to release the help that would win them the scenario in a matter of seconds. If only the world had easy answers to difficult problems like this. Sam let out a small chuckle as he stood in front of Holo Katrina protecting her from two oncoming stray beams. Packing the Holo Katrina into a corner Sam waited and watched as the life size version of Yoshi broke from the egg and went to lunch eating one of the cultist after another. The sight was well quite entertaining to say the least.
One Yoshi ate a cultist and then produced an egg that hatched and then that Yoshi ate and reproduced. The process continued till there was a small army of life-sized Yoshi’s running around looking for cultists. The process took little over ten minutes but none of the cultist survived the buffet of the Yoshi’s. Turning to Koga Sam grinned and said, “Computer, Scenario over!”
With a quick flash the Danger room returned to it’s normal boring gray domed self. Looking to Koga with a straight look on his face Sam asked Koga, “So what did you learn about this little scenario?” Sam was slightly curious for not only feed back to get Koga’s insight on the whole situation, a good student requires a better teacher and with out opinions and comments Sam couldn’t excel as fast as his students were.
Koga immediately huffed and fell onto his but with. He then took in a deep breath aqnd glanced at the lack of a holographic Katrina with a seering look of pain on her face. That would stay with him.
“So what did you learn about this little scenario?”
“well the ssstated lesssson and the yossshi clausssesss asssside. I would have liked to go into that better prepared and informed, Regardless of whether we had immediate accessss to back up or even the time to get or wait for it, which we obviousssly didn’t. we sssshould have called for it. When you have a chance to essscape and achieve the goal achieve it. I sssshouldn’t have hesitated with Katrina at the window. I ssshould have made my first move to hand command or at least advisssement over to you. Experience sssshouldn’t be ignored. Hind ssssight is twenty twenty?”

Watching Koga fall to his butt Sam nodded at his response. Despite the confusion of the mission Koga did an excellent job performing to a level Sam could only hope for. Trying to keep a straight face as a towel rack and a water bottle dispenser pushed it’s way up through the ground Sam took a towel and water bottle and tossed it to Koga. Walking over to Koga and sitting next to him Sam said nothing for a few minutes with a look like he was deep in thought. Three minutes to be exact, another test for Koga one Sam was presented with daily when he was a child.
After some time Sam said slowly, “So, let me start by congratulating you on the scenario despite your lack of experience and the lack of Intel you did an excellent job.” Letting out a small laugh Sam continued, “Yoshi was there as a failsafe, he was in a way our backup, the second the Holo Kat was injured Yoshi was set into play.” He grinned and wiped his face with his towel and continued, “Not every mission or scenario is like that though, and sometimes you’ll have all the info and back up you could ever need and sometimes you’ll have none at all when lives will be at stake at it rests on your shoulders.”
Opening his water and taking a sip Sam sighed and patted Koga on the shoulder as he stood up and picked up his towel, “You did good Koga, but you insist on continuing your crime fighting ways I would prefer if you bring someone along with you, ever hear of Jack Frost?” letting out a small laugh Sam iced up his body into the image of his Crime Fighting suit and then as a smile peaked through the ice fell from his body, “There are others like you Koga, all are willing to help you…”
With a smile and a clicking of his tongue Sam looked to Koga as he sat back down on the floor of the Danger Room and then said, “That’s enough for today, but if you would like I’ll be here the same time tomorrow if your interested in becoming my student.”
“Thanksss” he tilted the water bottle. Koga looked up at Sam curiously and drank his water as he waited. Peering at him every so often, maybe he was just as bushed.
~~“So, let me start by congratulating you on the scenario despite your lack of experience and the lack of Intel you did an excellent job.” “Yoshi was there as a failsafe, he was in a way our backup, the second the Holo Kat was injured Yoshi was set into play.” “Not every mission or scenario is like that though, and sometimes you’ll have all the info and back up you could ever need and sometimes you’ll have none at all when lives will be at stake at it rests on your shoulders.”“You did good Koga, but you insist on continuing your crime fighting ways I would prefer if you bring someone along with you, ever hear of Jack Frost?” “There are others like you Koga, all are willing to help you…”
He had heard of Jack Frost. Who hadn’t? “Wow! That makes since, still awesome buit makes sense. Well, I think crime ssshould and deservesss to be ssstopped. People taking othersss freedomsss. It’sss not right. But I think for now I have more to learn.”
~~“That’s enough for today, but if you would like I’ll be here the same time tomorrow if you’re interested in becoming my student.”
“I’ll sssee you tomorrow, any chance I can get this switched out for Gm or maybe have it moved so I can have gym later? Oh, don’t feel to bad when I manage to give you that rubber round back.” He smirked as he stood. “ If that’sss all? I am going to catch a ssshower and hit the homework.”
