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.

Here he was making lists and lists of things that needed to be done, and Garrett had just gotten here, had just been seriously injured not forty five minutes ago. Sebastian shook his head at himself.
“It is I who should be sorry. There is no need for you to worry about all of these things right this moment. We will have plenty of time to think about these things in the coming days. For now, you should rest. Though you have been healed, your energy levels are probably still low from traveling. Rest is the only thing I know of to cure that.”
Garrett made himself a comfortable seat where he could sit on the mattress and lean against the wall at the same time. He didn't look like he was ready to go to sleep right away, it was just time to talk about something less stressful than people who wanted revenge and all the work they had left to do.
Sebastian crossed his legs and sat down on the floor next to the mattress. His tail curled all the way around him in a circle.
“So, here we are, both exiled from the Sanctuary that was once legendary for its hospitality towards everyone both human and mutant.” It seemed ironic to the unicorn shifter. “The reason I originally went there was because after the Registration Act no landlords wanted to rent to a mutant. They were afraid a mutant tenant would make their other renters want to move out I suppose. I got a tip that the Sanctuary never turned anyone away, so that's where I went.”
He paused for a moment, reminiscing about the first times he met so many of the residents there, about getting settled in, about how the nurses in the infirmary had taken so long to get used to having a male in their territory all the time.
After a few moments he asked, “How about you? What brought you to the infamous golden doors?”

“It is I who should be sorry. There is no need for you to worry about all of these things right this moment. We will have plenty of time to think about these things in the coming days. For now, you should rest. Though you have been healed, your energy levels are probably still low from traveling. Rest is the only thing I know of to cure that.” Rest was a great idea. Although his body was healed, his mind wasn't. It might never be truly healed, with the way things kept occurring. he waved off the idea with a dismissive gesture. " Please, don't apologize anymore. There's no reason for it. We are fine. I hold no grudges and I ...I keep appearing in people's lives in intermittent explosions. I am just happy that I still have friends."
Sebastian had made himself comfortable on the floor and the tension in Garrett's body was bleeding out as his body began to slump a bit under the weight of the future, the past, and the present.“So, here we are, both exiled from the Sanctuary that was once legendary for its hospitality towards everyone both human and mutant.The reason I originally went there was because after the Registration Act no landlords wanted to rent to a mutant. They were afraid a mutant tenant would make their other renters want to move out I suppose. I got a tip that the Sanctuary never turned anyone away, so that's where I went.” Confusion wrinkled across Garrett's face. " it was once legendary for its hospitality? Strange. I never witnessed any of that while I was there. How is it that you are exiled? Due to your explanation of the shooting and whatnot, why would you be exiled? It would seem with your abilities that they would want you close, regardless of their feelings. I just hope that this place becomes a real home for me and I don't have anymore episodes for a while. I need some stability in a bad way." Truer words couldn't have been spoken on the matter.
“How about you? What brought you to the infamous golden doors?” Now there was a story to tell. " Well, I was already on the outs with the Mansion because of Haywire. I was injected with the stuff by Shade when he infiltrated the Mansion. I hurt everyone there and was rather cruel about it. I'm not going to say it wasn't me, but it was a different version. A part of me that survived from the Camps, a part of me that I have killed off since then." He took a deep, cleansing breath, praying that it was true. His mind was so weary though. Even Garrett wasn't sure of what Garrett was capable of now.
" So, it was Raina's birthday party and everyone was having a good time. I almost felt like I was becoming a part of the family again. But when the Sanctuary's doors were attached to the Mansion, all hell broke loose. People from both the Sanctuary and the Mansion began to brawl in such a barbaric fashion, as if they wanted to kill each other. The sight of mutants trying to do each other in with such zeal really sickened me. It cut me loose from the Mansion and the X-Men. Of course, in hindsight, it was just the other side of the coin, the same problem, over at the Sanctuary. I'm just so sick of the hatred." Sick.

>>>" Please, don't apologize anymore. There's no reason for it. We are fine. I hold no grudges and I ...I keep appearing in people's lives in intermittent explosions. I am just happy that I still have friends."
Sebastian nodded. No more apologies it was. He would just accept things the way they were and let Garrett do the same. Another nod followed that, for the still having friends bit. Friendship was not a thing that he simply threw away on a whim. It was hard to make good friends and harder still to keep them, but well worth the effort . Good friends made the years seem to fly by.
“Intermittent visits are better than none at all, and I am glad you are back.”
Sebastian shifted so his tail was in a more comfortable position before trying to smooth out the confusion wrinkles on Garrett's face.
“They used to welcome humans and mutants who couldn't find any other place to live. These days they don't accept humans any more. At the time they made the switch, they said it was because after the Registration Act ended mutants were so highly discriminated against that mutants were more in need of housing than humans. I'm sure that wasn't their only reason, though.” The longer he had lived there, the more apparent it was that the whole organization had anti-human tendencies.
“I suppose I'm not really exiled. I just don't feel particularly welcomed when there isn't someone in need of healing. This place already feels like home to me, despite its lack of furnishings. I'm hope that it soon feels that way to you as well.”
Outside the window, the rain slowed to a mere drizzle. Sebastian watched the water streak down the panes of glass as he listened to Garrett's tale. It was a tale of unrest and uncertainty, and he could see now why the man hoped for more stability in the future. He remembered the events of that brawl occurring, but he hadn't witnessed them first hand. He had merely helped to pick up the pieces afterwards when the order members returned bruised, battered, and bleeding.
Sebastian was sick of fighting, too. The whole world was filled with fighting. One battle would cease and another would spring up somewhere else in the world. Never was the earth completely at peace. He had perhaps gotten used to it, but he still didn't like it. That was one of the reasons he had decided to join Slate. Finally he was trying to do something to change what he didn't like about the world.
“What do you mean by a different you? How can you kill a part of yourself?” He had heard of the phrase turning a new leaf, but he'd never encountered the imagery of a person actually changing into someone else completely. It kind of seemed like a way to cast off responsibility for one's actions rather than learning from the mistakes, but maybe that's what he meant by killing off that part. It must be that he had already dealt with the consequences of his actions.
“I wonder if you would be welcomed back to the mansion again now. They seem to be more forgiving than the Sanctuary residents from what I have heard.” Not that he wanted Garrett to move back there or anything. He was merely making suppositions.
He didn't know very much about the X-men other than they were stationed at the school and the Sanctuary members took every opportunity they could get to bash at them. They did come to aid the Kabal in the fight to destroy Haywire. Also, Ghost was a member, most likely, since she had been helping at the brawl too. If Ghost was on the team, they had to be fairly decent.
