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.

*as tricity left her classroom and walked toward the kitchen to grab a bagel, she did a doubletake when she saw a familiar face who was stopped in front of her.* what are you doing here??
Siren smiled broadly at Tric. "Hey. Looking for you actually." He was wearing a baby backpack with one of his children in it, and had a dual-stroller with the other two tucked in. "How've you been doing, Tric?"
"I 'up and left' because my family- my family was attacked by a sentinel for picnicking on grounds near the mansion. The first family I've known in over a decade and a half, and I almost lost them all in one afternoon. Delphi and I both felt we needed to get our kids to... somewhere less likely to be attacked by sentinels. And judging by what happened to the mansion after that, we were wise to do so." He says, sternly, but not at all meanly.
....yea, well....i guess youre right. BUT you shouldve kept in contact, i was worried about you both. anyway... *she said switching her breifcase to the other hand and extending her right hand.* we'd be glad to have you back.
Siren smiles broadly at her. "Thank you. Thank you very much, Tricity." He is genuine in his appreciation. "And I would have kept in touch better, but... I'm afraid the children have been keeping me a bit busy. And for that, I apologize." He bows slightly, not enough to disturb the child on his back.
"I'll have to talk to Delphi about it. I'd certainly want to move back here, but the apartment we have is close to her college, so... yeah." Siren says, a little bit sheepishly. He does not mention that he hasn't even mentioned this entire 'him getting another job again' idea to her yet.
sounds good hun...well, when you get the chance, come by my office and we can discuss room accomodations if you need it. *she said and bent down to look at the children. she smiled and stood up.* i'll see you later... *tricity continued to the kitchen.*
*tricity held janie as she walked against the walls, avoiding the shadows of the moon through the windows. janie had wrapped her arms around tricity's neck tightly which was making it hard for her to breathe. she put the girl down, kneeling as well, whispering to her.* janie..janie look at me...whatever happens, dont open your eyes ok? you keep them closed, understand? *she nodded and jumped back into tricity's arms. tricity lifted her up again and proceeded further. there were footsteps around the next corner, janie tightened her grip as she heard it too. she pulled a surge from a nearby socket quickly and as the masked man turned the corner, tricity grasped the man on the wrist. he convulsed and fell to the floor quietly. tricity turned the next corner and saw three men at the danger room, trying to bypass the code.* bastards... *she put janie down behind a pillar at the nexus of the two hallways.* janie...sit down and dont move, ok? *the little girl nodded and sat down indian style. tricity took the girls hands and put them over her ears.* squeeze tightly *and janie did so, putting her head down. tricity came from behind the pillar and apparently one of the men heard her, since a flashlight from one of their guns shone down the hall. she dodged behind the wall as the light passed down the hallway, if janie moved from that spot, it was all over, but the little girl stayed perfectly silent and still. the light disappeared and tricity heard them playing with the coding again. she pulled a stronger surge from the socket and formed a ball in her hands.* god...please *she turned the corner and fired the ball forward, knocking one man out completely. she dodged behind a pillar as they fired down the hall. tricity heard janie whimper.* JANIE, DONT MOVE!! man: "find her now!!" *a second intruder came down the hall firing at where tricity had been. he was right in front of the pillar she was hiding behind. he jumped around the corner, but she moved to the next pillar, turning on the lights. he was blinded for a second and she took the opportunity to shoot a surge at him. he fell like the one before him. tricity peered around the corner and didnt see the third man anywhere.* crap *she ran to the end of the hall and picked janie up. at first she fought wildly until the girl opened her eyes and saw tricity. she began to cry and wrapped herself around tricity's body. they walked down the hall and she entered the code for the room. after putting janie down, she told the girl to get in the basement. at first, janie didnt want to leave tricity's side, but eventually did when she could hear billy through the trap door urging her to come on. tricity closed the door to the danger room and listened to find where orion could be. surely any destructive noises would be from him.*
