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.

Alexandra stopped looking at Shin’s arm for a moment, instead starring to his face. His confused face. The molecule manipulator took a deep breath. “Why, of course, I’m gonna split open your arm, put the bone back together and then have the doc heal you.” she said with some sort of matter-of-factly tone. She blinked a few times, then with a sigh she shook her head.
“I’m going to cut off your jacket’s sleeve since taking it off doesn’t really seem the best idea.” she said as her eyes trailed back to the injured limb. With her hand supporting the weight of Shin’s arm, she put the blade under the jacket sleeve. “Hope you don’t like it too much cause I don’t think it’s gonna be wearable after I’m done with it.” With that being said, she proceeded with cutting up the jacket from the wrist to the shoulder.

Shin's eyes widened for a second (if that was even possible) as she tried to scare him. "Split open my-- um, Al. You feelin' a-alright? I didn't um... hurt Sam too much and make you m-m-mad, did I?" He squeaked.
>>"I’m going to cut off your jacket’s sleeve since taking it off doesn’t really seem the best idea.”
She clarified.
"O-oh. Yes. That's much saner... though aww man... I know it sounds vain of me, considering the circumstances, but... I really liked this jacket... ugh..." Shin held his head as the pavement danced. "Ok... do what you ... have to... I'll just..." Sigh.
The blade slid into the jacket's sleeve and started cutting away.
Shin received a blank stare from the molecule manipulator. If not for the whole situation, she might have laughed at the ideas he was getting. Instead, she continued to cut the jacket. “Well, Shin, unless you expect me to rip the shirt off me, then your jacket it’s the only thing at hand I can use to stop the bleeding.” Alexandra tried to put a smile on her face only to fail miserably. She sighed. “I promise I’ll buy you a new one…”
“I’m gonna lower your arm.” Alexandra announced as she lowered Shin’s arm to a what should have been a comfortable level for him. When that was done, she proceeded to cut the sleeve of the jacket. Once she held the piece of cloth in her hand, she sliced trough it again to make two strips out of it. “Okay, now I’m going to need you to hold your hand so I can put this on.” While waiting for Shin to comply, she glanced over the shoulder at where Sam and the Doc where and sighed at the golden light emitted from the doc’s hands.

>>“Well, Shin, unless you expect me to rip the shirt off me, then your jacket it’s the only thing at hand I can use to stop the bleeding.”
Shin glanced at the concrete to the left for a moment. "Right... I'm taking you up on the coat offer, too..." He muttered weakly. "And this one wasn't cheap..."
He took in a quick hiss of breath as she lowered his arm. So far, so good... His eyes fixated on the blade's cutting path. So unfair! Sleevey... Shining, no more.
>>“Okay, now I’m going to need you to hold your hand so I can put this on.”
Shin held his hand in place for her, wincing slightly as she put it on.
Sighing at Shin’s laments about the jacket, Alexandra began to wrap one of the strips around his arm, applying as much pressure as needed to stop the bleeding while still being careful not to disturb the position of the broken bone. She knew that it would hurt no matter how gentle she was but still tried to ease the pain as much as possible, to make her touches as light as possible.
She had wrapped the piece of cloth around his arm quietly and hoping that it will stop the bleeding until they got home and the Doc would take care of him. Also, she was hoping that she had put enough concentration in taking care of Shin. Once she was done, blue eyes wandered around. She needed something that could play the role of a splint until - wait…
The molecule manipulator blinked slightly. Molecular manipulation, of course. Why bother with a splint when she could create a cast for Shin? A more unusual cast but he’d live with it. The metal of the blade in her hand moved along with a few more others that were in her visual area. Like small serpents, the molecules made their way around Shin’s arm, wrapping around it until it was fully covered from wrist to elbow. She tried to make the metal cast as light as possible so no extra weight would affect the already damaged bone and she hoped that it would work. With questioning eyes, she watched Shin and waited for him to tell her how it felt.

Shin had never worn a tourniquet before. He'd never been cut or injured hard enough to cause bleeding like he was experiencing now. It was... disorienting, to say the least.
No.
Wait.
That was the blood loss. The application of the fabric to skin was fine. Tight, yes. But fine. A quick intake of air zipped past Shin's lips on the final tug. His head lolled forwards. He bit his lip.
"Much... better." He gave a weak smile.
Now he was ready to run and jump and play with the big kids, right? Oh, and he needed to. People were still fighting against each other in the brawl behind him, and Sam had put Shin in charge of making sure no one got hurt. Yeah. He'd just push up off the concrete on one knee and go help them. He was fine, really. A little booboo had never set him back before on the playground. One kiss from mom and the wound would magically disappear. So this... He leaned forwards, as if he was going to bolt. This would be fine. He was ready to go now! Bye~
. . .
But Alexandra wouldn't let him. Neither would his body. Shin slumped back. Was she still working? He'd thought she would be done by now... geez.
One eye crept open curiously. What was she even doing?
He caught sight of slithering metal wrapping itself around his arm. For one fretful second, his eyes snapped up to lock on Alexandra's in a look of wonder and worry. He was impressed.
When did she move from making metal floors bump old ladies out of busy intersections to making metallic snake things?
Shin raised the little metal cast up like a Megabuster and eyed it tentatively. His eyes shifted back to Alexandra's face as it lowered back down. "Bit heavy, but good work..."
A small nod directed toward Shin was her response. A bit heavy, of course. The other strip she had made from Shin’s jacket rested in her hand as she raised it in the air for a moment. “That’s why I kept this.” Alexandra replied. “I need you to lower yourself for a moment.” The molecule manipulator glanced over her shoulder again as she spoke. Why was the healing taking so much time?
Her mouth became a straight line as blue eyes turned toward Shin once again, waiting for him to lower himself so he would be at the same height level as her. When he did, the remaining cloth was wrapped around the arm once for support. A few steps later, the molecule manipulator was tying it behind his neck. Stepping back to the side, Alexandra placed her hand on the metal cast. Under her touch, the metal moved again, this time to cover the supporting strip so it wouldn’t slip. “Better?” she asked tiredly as she took a step back, shoulders lowering slightly as she did so.

>> “Better?” She asked.
"Much." Shin replied. "Still uncomfortable, though." He stated, with the air of a perfectionist speaking to an optometrist about getting the perfect frame for their face. Putting one pair after another to the side. Not this one. No, not that one. Not this one... his face as he settled on a simple reply. "I suppose that's as good as a broken arm could feel though... No use focusing any more of your attention on me."
Why, he could just stand up and go help them now. Right? He glanced over his shoulder quickly, then returned his focus to Alex. She looked tired... it was probably draining, using her ability. He didn't want to ask much more of her. This was a trying day.
A trying situation. Sam was still getting healed. Shin shifted his weight onto his legs, and held out a hand. "Help me up? I wanna go see about Sam."

Head feeling like it was ready to split open Sam kept his eyes shut to try and numb the pain but had little luck. His fingers drenched in a warm liquid as a hand was placed on his chest restricting any movement. ”Sam don’t move!” hearing the familiar healers voice Sam instinctively tried to lift his body up as more force was applied to his body. Letting out a loud groan and slowly opening his eyes into a squint Sam looked up the see Prof. Doc smiling over him, or at least a shadow of a smile. ”Now why is it every time I get called to the field or the danger room I know who exactly I am going to see? You seem to have some kind of death wish Sam…”
Eyes shutting weakly and then opening off to the side Sam opened his mouth and started to voice his thoughts, but before he could say anything of a sarcastic nature towards the Doc he felt the old man’s hand on his mouth forcing it shut, ”Don’t speak, your still to weak and I am sure you noticed your lying in a lot of your blood, take it easy and breath, that's all I want you to do right now.”
His mouth forming into a small clenched jaw Sam rolled his eyes to look around but saw nothing other than the tall buildings around him and the sky overhead. Was it all a dream? The spirit guide, the fight, he breaking shins arm? No, no that happened the blood proved it, Doc being there proved it, he lost control and hurt those around him. Were they alright? Were they dead? Did he fail as a leader in Tricity and Neena’s absence? Looking around for someone other than Doc, Sam let out another more noticeable groan as he forced the Doc’s hand up which was trying to increase with pressure to force him down.
”Sam S-Tay Down!” said the Doc as his hand was being pushed back. At the moment Sam didn’t care about himself he was worried about his team, his friends, he hurt them and it was his fault. Where were the? Beautiful Alex, and Shin with the jokes? Where were they? He wanted to know how bad he had hurt them, he wanted to apologize for losing control, it was his fault all his fault.
Alexandra nodded. Then, a bit slowly, she extended her hand toward Shin, helping him up.”I wanna check on him too. The healing is taking a terribly long time.” She turned around, looking at the Doc and sighed. Waiting was awful sometimes. Legs moved, walking over to where Sam was laying. She barely took a few steps when the Doc’s command reached her ears. He told Sam he shouldn’t be moving. She picked up speed and in a few seconds she stopped barely a foot away from Sam.
The sight was still awful. Blood, blood and more blood. And yet, he was alive, he was breathing, he was conscious. It was enough for now. Heart beat faster and, inside of her mind, she allowed herself to smile.
”Sam S-Tay Down!”
Sam was being stubborn. The distance between her and Sam disappeared rapidly as she moved closer and kneeled beside him. She placed one hand on his forehead preventing Sam to move any further. The other, she wrapped it around Sam’s hand squeezing it lightly. “Sam, you must listen. Please, don’t move.”

Alexandra helped Shin roll to the balls of his feet. He steadied himself, gripping her arm with both hands, then turned towards Sam with a look of worry on his face.
What Alexandra had said... A terribly long time... Was healing supposed to be short? Shin remembered when he'd first met DocProf... the healing had been a flash of white light, warmth... then, he'd been healed. It hadn't taken long. A few cracked ribs must have been easier to heal than whatever they'd done to Cold Steel.
Together, the pair made their way over to the ice man. Only a few steps were taken, then they could hear what DocProf was saying. It seemed Sam was awake. DocProf was easing him back down, telling him to take it easy.
And Sam was being stubborn. A thin line of humor drew across Shin's face at the realization. They were so alike, Sam and him. Both mutants wanted to show their strength. The line creased back downwards as Alexandra and Shin closed the gap. Alexandra kneeled beside Sam. Shin stood uncertainly, and kept himself steady. Other than keeping himself steady, what could he do...?
Alexandra was coaxing Sam down. A breath escaped Shin's lips as the thought sunk in.
He could be there. Sam needed to know his friends were there for him, no matter the situation. Even if Shin had been powerless to prevent this debacle from going down.
"Sam," Shin dropped to one knee, at Alexandra's side. He let her hold Sam's hand. Shin just sat. A helping hand dropped to Cold Steel's shoulder, to keep it in place. "We're here for you, buddy. Just please, listen to the Doc." He glanced to Alexandra, watched the churning emotions on her face. "Listen to Alex, too..." He murmured. A touch of a smirk rested on his lips. "She's pretty smart..."
