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.

Hayden climbed out of the taxi and looked up at the large gates that served as security for the Mansion and it's inhabitants. Was this it? Was this the beginning of the end? He felt it so. For some, bizarre, reason Hayden felt that this place could help him, and though he knew nothing of his past, he felt as if this...this place could help him learn about it. Remember it.
A whisper in the back of his mind told him to go forth, after months of living with these voices, he didn't know which was his conscience and which was...them. The thought of them wanting him to come here filled him with a dread. His Heart picked up in it's pace. Surely they knew why he had come here? Surely they, too, could sense the end.
He shook the doubt from his mind, reached into his pocket and paid the driver, tipping him generously.
He then stepped forward, pushed the intercom, and spoke...
"HEY, Ms. Tipper... There's a newbie at the gates... He just got out the cab, lookin' for the owner," Johnathon said into the radio, obviously eating like always.
Tricity picked up the other radio and called back to him. "Honestly, do you do anything but eat?"
"Um, YES! I help protect this mansion by watching these monitors all day long!" he retaliated, taking a big bite out of his sub sandwich. "Which I think I should get a raise for and..."
Tricity rolled her eyes with a smile and clicked the radio off, opening the double doors to the school and trotting down the stairs. From the gate she could tell it was a young man, probably around her age. She didn't remember any scheduled visits today and figured he'd must be a walk-in. When she stepped off the grass and onto the pavement, she mentally opened one of the gates to let the man inside. "Hi!" she exclaimed with a smile. "My name is Delilah, Tricity, Miss Tipper, whatever ya like. I'm the Headmistress here. What can I do for you?"
Hayden smiled and stepped through onto the Mansion grounds. He looked around, taking it all in, before allowing his eyes to stop on the woman in front of him.
"...i'm the Headmistress here. What can i do for you?"
What could she do for him, indeed. What was he there for? He could hardly say he just felt the urge to turn up.
<i>'Tell her'</I>
The voice was barely audible, but he could still hear it echoe around his mind. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small bottle of pills.
"I'm looking for a Doctor, a good one, and i understand you have one here"
Undoing the lid he tipped out two capsules into his palm, put the lid back on and then necked the medication, dry swallowing them. Within seconds the feeling of another person in his head had gone.
"...also, you're Mutant friendly, which is always a bonus, heh"
'Ooook,' Tricity thought, watching him down the pills. She became concerned for him and a bit for the safety of the students. She gave him a look over before crossing her arms over her chest in a questioning gaze. "Are you ok? Hurt? Do you need medical attention, is that why you're here?"
"Medical attention? You could say that. I'd appreciate a place to rest, too, if you don't mind. And a consultation with your Doctor. I won't be any trouble, these...pills make sure of that"
He gave a feeble smile. She was judging him, it was blatant. Then again, who wouldn't? A stranger turning up on the doorstep, necking medication and asking for a Doctor, it was hardly the greatest first impression he could've given.
"Listen, i can understand why you're apprehensive, but i mean no harm. I've travelled too far and too long to start fights, all i want is some treatment for a condition i have and a bed to sleep in. I shan't be staying longer than a week. Then i'll leave you be"
"If you need somewhere to stay, you are welcome here. I won't ask too much about where you're from or where you're going, but I just need to make sure you aren't a danger to anyone else here, as I'm sure you understand. Come on, I'll show you inside." She walked with him across the mansion grounds and pushed open the doors to the school. She radioed Johnathon to come along and escort him upstairs."The infirmary is upstairs. Just stay straight into the center hallway and you'll find it." Just then Johnathon appeared eating an apple and looking the guest up and down. "Can you escort him upstairs, please?"
"Sure thing," he answered brushing his hand off and extending it for a handshake.
"This is Johnathon. He'll help you. I'll come and visit you later on to see how you're doing." Tricity then hurried down the hallway and turned the corner out of sight. Not that Hayden would know, but when Johnathon was asked to escort anyone, it was usually to keep an eye on the guest.
(OOC: There's a small bio of Johnathon in the NPC section so you get to know a bit about him if you'd like to rp with him while going to the infirmary.)
