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.

The wolf's eyes quirked when the little girl talked about her teddy bear making stuff glow. She had a feeling it was her powers and not the bears but did say anything.
The wolf lifted the girl off of the ground and began walking around with her on her back. She walked around proudly with her young charge, "Umm actually I'm a person just like you its just I can turn into a wolf. Anyways do you want to go faster?" Emerald asked, "My name is Emerald by the way."

Millie's eyes opened. "You're a girl! Like human?" She asked in surprise. That was a first for her. "That toe cool!" She exclaimed. "Merlin the Wonder Teddy can't do that, well, at leat, he never did it around me." She said, as she leaned over and grabbed on to Emerald's fur. "My name is Millie, and yeah! Let's go faster!"
"Alright...Super Emerald away!" Emerald made a 'woosh' noise and bolted across the yard. She still went pretty fast despite the extra cargo but she hoped that the little girl wouldnt fall off. She darted through the nuts being thrown at her by squrriels and leapt over a bush in a single bound.
"You doing okay back there mille?" Emerald asked still running fast, she was panting lightly.

Millie gasped and wrapped her arms around Emerald's neck, smiling and laughing the whole time. "WEEEE!!!!" She exclaimed through her smile. When Emerald leapt over the bush, Millie tightened her grip and closed her eyes, but when she opened them, she was alright, nothing bad happened, she didn't fall off or anything. "Uh-huh! That was fun!" She squealed in excitement.
Jeremy returned his focus to the gate after he saw that Millie was just fine with the wolf as he continue to get the gate open or talk to someone inside.
After a little while longer Emerald eventually laid down on her belly and began panting like a normal wolf would.
"Woo that was fun, the most fun I have had in the past few days," Emerald sighed. "Wanna see what I look like for real? You wil have to get off me first though"
Tricity and Janie stepped out of the mansion doors in a rush to get to the gate. The little girl took off running to see who was there.
There were a few others out on the grounds, playing games, reading, and lounging about as she saw what appeared to be Emerald and an unknown little girl, riding on her in her wolf form. Tricity's eyebrow raised in question, but turned away as she saw the man at the gate. It was already cracked open, seeing as the little girl was riding on Emerald across the lawn. Janie put her hand out to shake the man's hand, but Tricity pulled it away and pushed Janie behind her.
"Hello, my name is Delilah Tipper and I'm the Headmistress of the school. Can I help you with something?"

Millie smiled and slid off of Emerald. She lost her balance as she was climbing off and fell right on her butt, but she was too intrigued by what Emerald might look like as a human, so she crossed her legs and replied "Yet, pleat!" as she clapped her hands together.
Jeremy looked up and smiled. "Yes, my boss told me to come here. She apparently enrolled her daughter into this school. That's her right there." He said, pointing to Millie. "Her name is Millie Wolfe and...oh my, where are my manners, I'm sorry, I'm one of her guards, Jeremy Vibunt." He said as he reached out his hand to shake her's.
Emerald smiled at the younger girl and turned into her human form, lucky jacket and all. The cirmsion haired, blue eyed wolf girl looked at Millie before sitting on the ground with her legs crossed. She grinned at the younger girl, "So what do you think?"
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Vibunt," she replied, shaking his hand. "I recognize the name. Millie Wolfe. Um, will you be staying here too? I mean, well, why would she need protection?" Tricity asked, trying to ignore how handsome he was.

Millie gasped in wonder "COOL!" She exclaimed as she jumped to her feet and tugged lightly at her hair. "No fur! You're pretty!" She said before sitting down, right across from Emerald and crossing her legs just like Emerald did.
"No, I have to get back to the Wolfes. I was told that she would be safe here and she would be welcomed and not rejected because of her ability. You see, her parents don't see in her what I see. She's a sweet, caring girl, she just doesn't know how a real family operates." He said, looking back over at her, she was mimicing the girl the had met earlier. He looked again, where did that other girl come from and where did the wolf go? He shrugged and looked back at Tricity.
"She will be safe, I promise that. I have to ask you a couple of questions though." Tricity pulled open the gates to let him inside. "Can you tell me about Millie's powers, please? I need to know what her mutation is and whether it's a danger to anyone else or herself." Tricity looked back over her shoulder at the other man and quietly spoke to Vibunt. "Would he like to come in or...?"

Jeremy looked back at the driver and then back at Tricity. "Oh, he's fine, he's not really one to talk anyways. OK, about Millie. He power is generating light from her fingertips. It's a weak light, but it's enough when she's feeling scared. She believes that the bear she is holding is the one with the power, thus she named him Merlin the Wonder Teddy. She's no danger to anyone unless someone is fatally allergic to singing." He smiled. "I have to warn you, she can be quite clingy, but ever since she got that bear, she has been clinging to him, she NEVER goes anywhere without him and if he goes missing, she'll cry until he's found, believe me, it's happened before." His vision lowered as his eyes became a slightly red color, he was very sad, he had known this little girl since birth, she was the sweetest, kindest girl he had ever known and he couldn't believe that her parents did not care about her and were just fine with sending her away forever. "I am allowed to visit her whenever, right?" He asked, looking back at the innocent little girl. She looked so happy.
Tricity could see the pain in his eyes as they stopped walking. She looked over at the girl and then back at him with a smile. "Of course, of course. You can come whenever you would like. Don't worry about the clinging." She nodded over toward Janie who was walking over to Emerald and Millie. "Janie is a bit of a clinger as well. Many of the children tend to find a parent figure at the school. We don't mind."
She started walking over toward Emerald and the children. "Would you like to say goodbye?"

"Yes, I will go ahead and do that, then." He saidas his vision slowly raised. He turned around and walked out to the limo before the driver pulled two rolling backpacks, one was little and the other larger. Jeremy grabbed the handles of the bags and rolled them over to where Millie was sitting. He let them go and they stood up straight, then he walked over to the girl and sat on one knee. "Millie, I have to leave you now."
Millie's expression changed from that of happiness to that of sadness and guilt. "You can't tay?" She asked, standing up and stretching her arms out. Jeremy smiled and picked her up, he kissed her on the forehead and rested her on his hip.
"No, I have to go home, you parents want me home now." He said, looking very sad.
"Ok, I will get in the car, we'll come back tomorrow, right?" She asked, knowing very well what was really going on, she just didn't want it to be happening.
"No, we've already talked about this. I think you'll like this place, it seems very friendly and safe and you've already made friends." He said. A tear rolled down Millie's face as she threw her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest.
"NO! You can't go! Merlin the Wonder Teddy won't let you, and I won't let you." She said in a muffled voice.
Jeremy kissed her hair before he put her down, but she wouldn't let go. "Millie, let go of me, you will be fine here and I promise I will see you every chance that I get."
"Promit?" She asked, still clinging to him.
"Pinky promise." He said as he lifted up his pinky. Millie let go and looked at his pinky, tears in her eyes, she stuck out her pinky and they shook pinkies, kissed their thumb as they were shaking the pinky and then put the kiss from their thumb on the other's cheek, it was their own special pinky promise.
Jeremy turned and walked off. Before he walked out of the gate, he turned to Tricity and said "Please take care of her, she means the world to me." Then, he got in the car and drove off, a tear slid down his face as he drove away and he looked back to see Millie fall to her knees and stare at the car as it left, she held her teddy close as she cried. Her fingertips began to glow and then her whole fingers glowed, that was the most light she had generated since she got her powers. She looked at her teddy and kissed him the way that Jeremy kissed her, thinking that he was making her glow to comfort her.
As she watched Vibunt drive off, Tricity walked over to the little girl and knelt on the grass. She put on a genuine smile and wiped Millie's face. "Hello, sweetie. My name is Miss Tipper. I see you met Emerald and Janie too. Let's go inside and grab some lunch and then we can find you a room. As a matter of fact," she began, taking Millie's hand, "Janie needs a roommate. The two of you can share a big bedroom all to yourselves. How does that sound, Millie?"
