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 Ranger chuckled a little at Lee's claim that this man she knows would throw coffee at him. "In such an event he'd find a coffee covered fist meetin' his face, sendin' him to the floor. As I said before, I was in the military so flyin' coffee idn't the worst I've had come at me."
The Ranger realized that she more than likely didn't want to discuss such a thing in such a crowded place, even if it was loud enough to muffle their conversation to all those not nearby. Gesturing to the door he asked, "Perhaps this discussion would chance bein' overheard less outside?"
Michael actually laughed a bit when she told him that Rupert would be liable to throw coffee at him simply because he was a mutant. Lee smiled a bit as well, though it was a slightly twisted smile.
"That would be one of his 'happy' days," Lee replied. "I've seen him do a whole lot worse, too." She didn't even react to the fact that Michael had said he'd been in the military, so had seen a lot worse than simply getting coffee thrown at him. Well, why should she? She'd run into Jacen, who was ex-military too, and was now a NYPD SWAT officer. She'd gone into that mess in Florida with him. And then there was everything that had happened in Columbia. She'd seen enough. Maybe not as much as Michael, but more than enough without having any of his training.
And then he asked if she wanted to continue this conversation outside. Lee didn't answer Michael right away, but turned back to the bar, and the bartender who had been making his way back down toward them.
"Hey Matt!" Lee called, causing the bartender to move over to her as soon as he collected the money for the drink he'd just made.
"Ah, are you set for that drink now, Lee?"
"No, I'm on a walk, remember?" Lee said, leaning across the bar slightly so Matt would be able to hear her over the music. "If I go home smelling like beer, or if you tell him I was here, I won't be able to stop by on my own again. But I'm out, I'll talk Tarin into coming by again soon."
With a smile and small wave to the bartender, Lee turned. "I'm really not sure what else there is to talk about," Lee said to Michael as she made her way past him.
Lee returned with a statement that she had seen worse. Obviously she had, she had been at the mutant brawl and that thing gone to hell in a hand basket something fast. As far as his comment about talking outside, she didn't answer him directly. Rather, she called over the bartender, Matt, and told him she would be leaving. On her way past him she said, "I'm really not sure what else there is to talk about,"
The Ranger waited a moment and then set off behind her. Making his way toward the door, accelerating his stride as he approached the door. He moved past Lee and opened the door for her. "Well one thing to talk about is what was going on? I was called there by a friend and was within moments attacked." He left the statement vague, there were still some people nearby but he could at least pose the question to her and when there was a sufficient lack of people she could answer.
She was in a bar, and there were a lot of people, so it was hard for Lee to tell whether Michael was following her out or not. Or at least it was difficult to tell until she was reaching the door, and he hurried in front of her to open it for her. Three years earlier, Lee would have been shocked and surprised by such behaviour; now, it was such a common place thing for Tarin to do, that Lee simply gave Michael a small smile of appreciation as she stepped outside.
At least Lee smiled at him until he asked again about the incident at King Pharmaceuticals. The smile disappearing, Lee continued walking, out to the sidewalk and down the road. Now that they were outside, though, Lee could tell that someone was following her.
Finally after about a block, Lee sighed. This guy wasn't going to let this go, was he? "And what kind of 'friend' would call you to something like that without any kind of warning?" She asked, not looking over at the man at that moment.
