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.

David left the room and started walking down one of the halls, he looked like a zombie. Wearing the same clothes he, or she, or whoever's body he was in, was wearing from bed, his face still a stunned look, his eyes transfixed ahead. He snapped himself out of it, rubbing his face "Ok so this isn't a dream" he thought as he entered a large lounge room. Couches were all around, television sets on the walls. He walked over and took a seat on the first couch he saw.
He had to figure out what was going on, what could possibly cause something like this? His mind started racing at possible solutions, could he have done this? He knew he could download stuff, but possibly have his own mind downloaded? No that's just silly. Maybe someone else did this, if only he could remember the night before. He was getting more and more frustrated at his predicament.
David took a few deep breathes, he had to calm down, he had to just figure this out one step at a time. First of all he needed to figure out where he was, luckily he had just the way to do it. He closed his eyes and tried to connect to whatever satellite he could, he could use it like a GPS to find his spot. Nothing came to him though, in fact he couldn't use his power at all. He started to panic, he was in someone else's body ,and lost his power.
He jumped up off of the chair, "No, no no no, this is too much!" He said pacing back and forth. He had no idea where he was, in someone elses body, and lost is powers. He looked around the room and a thought hit him, this place was too large to be just someone's house, he had to snoop around, figure out what was going on, maybe someone else could help him.
Ah morning time! It's when the birds are chirping, the sun is shining and you DON'T HAVE HAIR?! Lurching to her feet, Fade reached up to feel her hair, but it wasn't there! All that was left felt like a short carpet that you could spell your name in if you moved your fingers around in the proper direction. Scrambling up, she stumbled out of bed and ran towards the direction of the bathroom until THUMP! Where the hell was the bathroom? Why was there a wall? Her bed was bigger, and her hands were...UGH hairy!
When she finally found the bathroom, she looked at her reflexion and immediately slapped herself and jumped back into bed. "Go back to sleep, Jenny, go back to sleep, it's all a bad dream," she repeated, clutching the sheets in her man form. After a few minutes of hiding, she finally thought things through. Well, if she needed to get out of this form, she needed to figure out who the hell she was and where the hell she was. Growling, Fade got to his feet and left the room. Outside of the room and still in his jamies, Fade immediately recognized where she was: The Sanctuary. What else could go wrong?
Keeping his posture, he walked down the halls until he found a girl saying no to herself. What a strange woman. Wait, no, this was a member of the Order, this Aura, so he could remember from the Brawl. Trying to sound like the apparent Order Member Fade had just become, he spoke up. "Why hello there, Aura, beautiful morning, is it not?" Eek! Her voice was so deep, and this thing throbbed up and down in her throat. A freaking adam's apple? She had that? That meant she had a different, oh God...
His thoughts were interrupted by another voice, and the shock of it caused David to nearly jump out of his skin. He turned and stared at the boy for a moment, then all of a sudden it all hit him like a train. First it was the name, Aura, it seemed familiar. then he remembered, the face, the name, he worked with her. She was with him when they robbed the bank, all it did was scare him more. She seemed a little off when they worked together, too narrow minded, then he saw her at that big battle.
He remembered she was on the opposing side, and those that fought alongside her were ruthless. What if this guy in front of him was just as dangerous, it could end badly for him. "Oh hey, yeah it is isn't it." He said back, not sure how to act. He didn't know Aura very well, all he knew is she was nothing like him. He debated trying to tell the truth, and hoping for the best, but these people didn't seem friendly before, and telling them he may have hijacked an ally would not be good.
Still he had to figure this out, it was a bit of good news though, he knew more about his situation. From what he gathered at the fight Aura was apart of a group known as the order, taking residence at the sanctuary. That's about all he knew, maybe this guy could help him out, "Just got a bad headache though." He said rubbing his head, "How are you?"
Well, she reacted, a bit odd it seemed, but then again, she was absolutely crazy, what did Fade expect? She asked Fade how...well...he was and Fade had to rack her mind. First off, who the hell was she? Or he? Who had short nearly bald hair and knew Aura? Even lived in the same building as her. Possibly Aura knew what happened, but Fade's head would be chopped off if Aura found out it was really Fade in this body. What if she could get Aura drunk and then say something like that and later blame it on the alcohol. Time for a drink.
"Oh, I'm just fine, a little drowsy, but I'm thinking a good scotch might do the trick," Fade lied, hoping that she could get her information by this. Then again, what if Aura was not a drinker? What if she hated drinkers? Oh no, this was becoming a disaster. "Got any meds to fix your headache?" Stupid question too, what if she hated meds? Now that Fade was becoming paranoid, she took a deep breath and sort of puffed out her chest. She looked like a man, she needed to act like a man.
Scotch, yes, that was manly. Meds, no, not manly. In the future, don't mention medications and just tell her to suck it up. There were too many problems figuring out her status in other peoples lives, how could she figure out what this unknown man's status was? Scotch, she needed to think more about scotch, the rich people liquer, and this man looked rich.
"Scotch?" David thought, "it's still the morning, who drinks scotch at this hour?" This was the Sanctuary however, and from the people he had met from the Order he wouldn't be surprised if they had shots with their breakfast. "You have fun with that, I don't think a drink would help my headache." He told her with a little bit of sarcasm "Maybe some other time."
David sat back down on the chair, acting as casual as he could. "Oh I don't take meds, never do." Once he said that he wanted to kick himself. What if Aura took meds, what if everyone knew that. He may have just screwed himself over. Time to think before he speaks, he isn't Aura, so the things he likes could be very different.
The sudden urge to run into the room again and look herself in flooded over Fade's confused body. Shit! He had figured out that this man doesn't drink in the morning. "Ah, well usually I don't, today is particularly troublesome though. I cannot decide what to do about it," she said, speaking with the best vocabulary as she could at the time. Maybe she could just fall asleep and be Fade again, which clicked on her: did she have her power?
When Aura looked away, Fade attempted to turn herself invisible, but it was not working. Really? Had this man had a different power that she had to get used to? Oh joy, what fun this would be she mentally sighed. This was not the vacation she had been planning for a long time, maybe a beach could have sufficed, not a MAN'S BODY!
"Would you care for some breakfast then?" she asked, then immediately realized that Fade had no clue where the hell the kitchen was! Maybe this man did, but not Fade! Hopefully Aura would lead the way. Now if someone could just give her the name of the person she was at the time, that would be great. She did not want to introduce herself as Jenny. Bad idea
