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.

Masochist just blew up a robot. Or half of it, anyway. It was a very impressive display of crazyness. Maya grinned. And wished her powers were half that useful in a battle simulation. The Asian guy seemed to catch up on the idea.
>>“How does this work? Touch-based, or do you hop from mirror to mirror by sight? Try touching this wall… and get a good grip. I’ll be flying on it in a minute.”
"'tis touch based" she answered, moving to the shards and touching the with her fingers tentatively before she merged into her own reflection. Wait, flying?
"Name's Maya." she added. So he would be able to yell something when stuff... hits the fan. "Ya have any plans 'bout what happens once we're up there?"
The mirrorwalker grinned. This was looking out to be fun. She wondered if one could get really hurt in the Danger Room. The answer was probably 'yes'. But after an adrenaline training with Guingalet, what could a young knight(ess) say to such a challenge? Bring it on.

Saphirus wasn't a softy. He had seen his fair share of fights, and could dish it out with the best of them. What he couldn't do was keep up with a high speed battle robot, which was embarrassing because this one was pink.
A pink leg popped up before he had a chance to block it, and knocked him good on the forehead. The blow hit him right in the center of the forehead, both giving him energy, and knocking his head back, and causing leaving half of a foot print on the left side of his head. His back was trapped against the car, so he couldn't maneuver out of the way. The middle aged mutant did the only smart thing he could do, he planted himself, and put up his defenses, pressing the right side of his body up so the pink-bot's attacks didn't do as much damage as it might otherwise.
The robot's pink appendages rained down on him like... well.. rain coming just as constantly, and covering just as much of his body as the falling water's might have. There were both good things and bad things about getting hit, all over, over and over again when you were the 'masochist man'. The good thing was that he was getting a lot of energy, the bad thing was that he was getting a lot of bruises.
Jesus, the thing was relentless! He could feel his legs trying to buckle out from under him, and there was not a damn thing he could do about it! Maybe he could think of something if this freakin thing would just stop hitting him for a second!... Koga!
Koga wasn't sure what he would do about the man sized, pink death bot. He was glad that Saph could take damage just the same as put it out, other wise he'd be looking at a mess not a man. perhaps he was a bit to serious when he programmed the re-spawn rate. Koga glanced around for any kind of help and his eyes landed on the popped trunk of a low rider, the rest of the car was looking much like he had just pictured what Saph might have appeared if he wasn't a mutant. Koga jumped into the trunk ripping a pair of poorly placed speakers from their wiring and rushed the bot.
He smashed the speakers into the sides of the robots heads, the point wasn't the damage, he could of hit it with any old piece of junk, the science behind what he had just done was the first rule in electronics, keep them the heck away from powerful magnets.

>>"Name's Maya."
The reflection stated. Maya, the touch-based mirror-walker… Interesting. Her name was like Ghost’s. “Shin,” The diamond-hard, razor-sharp, multi-colored triangle manipulator replied. “As for the plan… we’re going at this like knights, with a lance of shininess, diamond-hard."
The wall flipped on its side, and Shin hopped on. He raised his right arm, clenched it into a fist, and focused. Red, white, and blue triangles whipped around the air in front of his fist in the shape of a drill-lance, a moment later. Shin rose off the ground, and started towards one of the massive robots. Maya would have a good view of pavement rushing under them as Shin shot ahead.
>>“Shin. As for the plan… we’re going at this like knights, with a lance of shininess, diamond-hard."
Maya did like the part about knights. Shin seemed to have found her idea totally by accident. The part she didn't like was the pavement tearing past under them. The curse of two dimensions. Maya tried to see what was going on, but the mirror didn't have tha angle.
Soon after she felt the impact of whatever Shin was doing to the big pink robot, the pavement got definitely more colorful: tiny pink robots scattered everywhere.
"SHIN!" Maya yelled, staring at the mini bots scurrying around "Ya were s'posed to hurt the thing, not make it go forth and multiply!"
What. The. Heck. If this was Koga's idea of fun, the kid seriously needed a girlfriend.

Saph was beginning to wonder if he was going to make out of this in one piece as Koga disappeared for a bit. Was he running?! No freakin way! He kept up his guard; he didn't know the lizard kid well, but he had to trust him.
The kid came through. With a crack the speakers were slammed into the robot's head, and its frame started to shake "Error, error!" it chimed as its arms dropped to its side. Saph quickly pulled out his crowbar, and without even giving himself time to think, planted it heavily onto the top of the robots head, using up most of the force he had gained from its harsh blows. WHAM! It fell with a caved head, and Saph stepped up, smiling down at it. "HAH! What now?! You got knocked the F#$% OUT!" He danced over the robotic corpse for a second, stopping to look at Koga.
"Magnets, huh? You just don't stop with the surprises, do you?" He grinned, rubbing a welt that was forming under his left eye.
His victory gloating was interrupted by a metal clanging a few feet away. He turned to look at it's source but his eyes hadn't completed the trip before he heard many similar clangs as well. Oh god... It was raining pink robots... Somewhere out there someone was singing about it, he was sure.
A small robot sprung at him, and he punted it through a window, wincing as his foot complained at the impact with the metal; He definitely wasn't going to do that twice. "Eh... Any ideas, here?" He looked to Koga as the mini-bots started to close in, readying his crowbar for the first wave.
Koga shook his headThey're small, I sssay sssmash em, ussse your crow bar thisss time? Koga reached down grabbing a piece of debris and chucking it at the closest bot to see the effect.
He was sore, already and that couldn't be a good thing. there was a lot more robots then there should have been and he made it so they wouldn't stop anytime soon. He needed something to swing at these things too. It didn't take him to long to look back to the popped trunk of the smashed El Camino. He came out of the trunk with a tire iron, He thought of it as an omage to Saph's crowbar. He then went after the pink robots like a big game of wak-a-mole. He wouldn't stop until they did.

He flew. The drill pierced. It was epic. There wasn't much else to say.
Okay. It was all-American.
Give the danger room your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free... if you give a laserdeathbot an impaling blow, it'll probably ask for a glass of milk. And then, it'll want some more. Because there will be more.
Oops.
"I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T THINK IT'D BE SO MOUSEY!!" Shin shouted back. The shard drill poofed into non-existence as the Asian and the mirror-walker dropped rapidly to the ground below. It landed hastily, and Shin stepped off.
"Hurry up and exit. I'm going to use those shards to hit some robots. Wouldn't want you to have front row for that." Shin muttered. He pulled up his fists, and focused. Two three-inch navy triangles appeared in the air on either side of him. Thrusting his arms forward, the two triangles struck out, cutting tiny robots where ever they came up.
"One step ahead of ya" Maya answered as she dropped out of the mirror and onto the pavement; she rolled, and stood up, watching the robots scurrying around.
Maya looked at the battle scene. Masochist and Koga seemed to have discovered the joys of teamwork and heavy iron objects. Shin was using shards to hunt robots. And Maya... ... Maya didn't have a weapon.
Kicking the closest robot in the chest and making it stumble back (and hoping it wouldn't sprout even smaller robots), the mirrorwalker looked around for... anything that can hurt a robot and is light enough to be wielded. Not much of a choise there.
Mirrors.
"Shin!" she called out to the guy who seemed to have become her comrade for this fight "I changed my mind. I need that flyin' mirror thing back. If ya please."
Another kick, a roll, a jump. She couldn't really hurt them, so she did her best to avoid being hurt by them in return.
Smash em with a crow bar, huh? That made perfect sense, actually. He tightened his grip on his trusty metal friend, readying himself for the first wave as Koga went to find something to bash them with as well. He was hoping that these guys were easily breakable enough that a normal melee attack would break them... they looked rather sturdy so it might take a few swings to get the job done... a few swings each would make this pretty hard...
He caught sight of one about to pounce at Koga as he dug for his instrument of destruction, and immediately took three hobbling speed steps to get in range as it jumped, little arm cocked back and ready to punch. Saph managed to get his crowbar in the way, hooking the curve of his metal tool around the bot's neck, and swinging it hard to send the pink minibot flying into another approaching Pinky.
He didn't have time to celebrate the rather cool looking counter before the horde was upon them. The world became a whirlwind of swinging crowbars and curses as the minibots attacked relentlessly. Saph knocked one in the head, sending it flying through a car window. Another turn revealed two charging foes. He smacked ones lights out, sending mechanical head chunks everywhere, but was then tackled by the other, which made him stumble and curse, rather than fully fall. He wrestled the little thing off of him and onto the ground, where he swung over and over again, smashing it to a mechanical pulp. The one he knocked through the window was how crawling back, its arm dangling at its side with sparks erupting from it. It dove onto his back and was then followed by three more of its comrades. together they pulled him to the ground and started pummeling. "Crap, ow! @#&$@1ing @$@#@ This@$@!! Densel Washington @^*&$ in the $#%@-" He struggled with his foes on the ground, trying with all of his might to fight them off.
Koga was sweating, it had been awhile since he broke a sweat in battle, he did often in training(which this technically was.) but typically a fight didn't last long enough to get his well trained body to over exert it's self. but not today. hearing the explicit words and then seeing Saph fall did little to boost his mood, they needed a new tactic. one hit per pop wasn't going to do. running to saph He called. "Ssstay down." he took a long swipe across his back and then grabbed his hand pulling him above the tide of pretty pink droids. we have to change our tacticsss, I am thinking we run the bassstardsss over. You drive.Koga said with a wink thinking back to the last time he drove.

>>"Shin! I changed my mind. I need that flyin' mirror thing back. If ya please."
In or out, in or out. Shin turned back towards the mirrorwalker as he decapitated a tiny robot in a spray of sparks. The platform flew to hover at her side. Shin nodded once. "Get in, then... and tell me if there's anything I should worry about hurting while you're in those things. If nothing else, I'll just hover you above the battle and you can watch... really wish you could control my mind, and join the fight, though." That would have been handy.
If only Shin could break his focus on shards and leave them floating beautifully, as little shard swords for people to wield.
If only they had a way to turn the tide of the battle. Cutting them down like he was could get tiring after a while... wait a second. Hold that thought.
Shin extended his arm, drawing back the two navy triangles to hover in the air beyond his fist. His eyes closed, focusing. It was a basic shape he was building. It wouldn't take much effort or practice, but it'd take a bit of concentration to get it right. In his mind's eye, he saw the grid. Triangles snapped into place along the grid's face as the form built up in reality. One by one, shard over shard, they formed the blade of a massive weapon. A horse-slaying blade none could wield with a single arm. The mighty zanbato. Oh, it was like a meat-cleaver made of shards, several feet long, and black. Something like that would be heavy, if it had a weight at all, but Shin wasn't swinging it with his arms.
No.
He was swinging it with his mind.
"Everyone, watch out! Except for you! You pink robots! You don't watch out. You stay where you are. I'm not done with you."
The blade shot forwards, and delivered a cut across the army of pink robots. It hewed a small crowd of them in two with a mighty moon slash! Shin swung the blade with all his mind.
"HIYAH!!" He shouted, eyes squeezed tight shut by the sheer awesomeness of the move.
The sound of several robots falling over could be heard. Slowly, Shin opened his eyes.
Blink blink. "Well," He said to Maya-Mirror. "There's twenty of them. What? 200 more?"
>>"Get in, then... and tell me if there's anything I should worry about hurting while you're in those things. If nothing else, I'll just hover you above the battle and you can watch... really wish you could control my mind, and join the fight, though."
Shin had no idea what Maya had planned. Actually, she didn't either. It was just a hunch, or something worth a try, and since it was either that, or kicking the robots with her own feet... well, what did they have to loose? It was a fake battle anyway.
>>"Everyone, watch out! Except for you! You pink robots! You don't watch out. You stay where you are. I'm not done with you."
As Maya started working on her plan, Shin decided to go epic, anime style. She could approve. He certaily looked good doing it. Like something out of a cartoon. But at least it worked.
>>"Well. There's twenty of them. What? 200 more?"
"Make that 100-somethin'" the girl grinned from the mirror, surrounded by small pink devils furiously clinging to her. The apparently took ideas form each other, and since some of them were succesfully attached to Saph just a few moments ago, it didn't take much to make them do the same with a mirrorwalker. Maya then dragged the wole train of persistent little pinkies into Shin's reflecting surface. After some twisting and wiggling and swearing, she managed to break free just long enough to drop out of the mirror, leaving a swarm of pink robots on the other side furiously scraping at the looking glass.

With a warning from his ally and a loud thump, he saw light, and then a hand. His shot out to grab it as quick as he could manage. He was on his feet again, but barely, having been pummeled just about everywhere. A minibot tried to approach him, and he quickly and almost instinctively poked it in the head with his crow bar, putting all of the energy he'd gotten from the beating into it, and causing it's little head to explode. He then turned to Koga and nodded about the car thing. "Sounds like a plan!"... He was starting to bruise pretty bad all down his left side, but be wasn't to be forgotten just yet.
He hobble-limped into the driver's side of the car, climbing in slowly and painfully. The minibots were crowding around the car within moments as Saph looked for the keys... Glove box? No. Cup holder? Nope. He paused, and looked up at the sun visor, quickly pulling it down. Bingo; the keys fell into his hand, and he looked over to a Koga with a grin. "Lets give these guys a lesson in the dangers of jaywalking, ey?" Chuga chuga- CHOOOOM! The car started, and Saph put the petal to the metal, lurching over three bots that were in front of the car on the way out. A quick peek in his side mirrors showed that they had some clinging to the sides. "Hang on." Saph swerved a little, scraping two off the left side by sideswiping a parked minivan. He rinsed and repeated with the other side, hitting a little harder than he'd wanted, but not hard enough to make him lose control...
He heard a thumping on the roof... A few of them must have gotten up there.. He looked up, and then over to Koga. "Take care of that, will ya? We gotta get em off us before we can start the wholesale crushing. Don't worry, I'll keep it steady."
Koga took a moment to grin and quip I ssstayed on top of that car the whole time you drove to the city, and you sssir drive like a crazy perssson. Get thisss thing going I'll be fine. he hopped into the back and opened the sliding door knocking all the robots off the side behind the door. and then swung himself out and onto the door slamming it shut as he made the roof. Koga grabbed the first of the bots and flung it off the roof as he slide his belly onto the top of the car, he heard the roof dent in. Kerploomp.
he must've been eating better at the mansion cause cars used to be able to hold him with no fuss. but it was time for more but stomping he knocked another off and then another, the remote control car sized robots just didn't have the combat value without being a part of the horde. He had time to see Maya and shin doing major damage to their set. and even had time to whoop and cheer them on. at least until he instinctively hit deck as he heard the minivan motor rev.
