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.

He didn't know what she was thinking.
He didn't know why she was thinking it.
He wasn't certain it would work the way she'd thought it out.
Shin obliged.
He separated the triangles making up the mirrored surface into their smaller parts, one by one. Broken reflections of pink robots seemed to scream on the other end of the mirror portal. Then, a short while after the girl had stepped out of the mirror, the robots made their exit, too.
Not all at once, now... oh look. Pieces.
She grinned at him, oh-so-smug her idea had worked. Shin gave a thumbs up.
"Next time, give me a better outline. And you never answered me what'd happen if the mirror you were in got damaged or vanished. At least now I know, that which you bring in has to come out..."
Shin turned his attention to Koga and Saphirus's antics. Oh boy. That Koga was a bad influence...
>>"Next time, give me a better outline. And you never answered me what'd happen if the mirror you were in got damaged or vanished. At least now I know, that which you bring in has to come out..."
"Sowwy" Maya was grinning from ear to ear wich made the apology a bit hard to believe. She was also currently occupied with dodging falling spare parts and kicking at moving robots that came too close.
"My best guess of what would happen: same as the robots." she added, getting closer to Shin again, she didn't like having robots between them, dead or alive "Never tried though an' I wanna keep it that way."
"All right, next move's yours." she said while she stared at Koga and Saph's latest plan of action being realized "I'm so new to this."
Things were going great so far! He heard the telltale thump of a Koga on the room, and the crashes of the bots falling off and shattering against the harsh road. It was looking like this was going to start getting easy! He forgot to knock on wood, though, because a pink camaro, much like the one he'd scratched with Gawain at his side, came out of nowhere and pulled up beside them. "Uh oh... HANG ON KOGA!" Wham! The Pink car turned into them quickly, causing the vehicle to shake violently.
Saph managed to maintain control barely, and even returned the favor with a sideram in response. The sports car was barely affected, though. "Koga... Jump onto it! See if you can get it to stop!" Through the tinted window Saph could barely see the form of a robot driving the car in his side-view mirror as it came to ram them again. This time Saph lost control, and the van started to spin out... he hoped Koga had been able to get out in time, because his door fell off ,and he bailed as the van smashed into a wall.
Saph had the presence of mind to twist so that his right side would his first and he wouldn't end up a smere on the road, but he still rolled a few yards. A few rather painful yards. He lay there for a moment, and then sat up, crawling from the road and onto the sidewalk, where he propped himself up against a car. "Gees... How many of these robots could there be?" They had to be running out by now, right?
Koga acted the same way a cat did when you threw a bucket of water in its general direction, Saph was shouting and then he saw about what. He leapt strait into the air and luckily came flying back down where the van was and the pink car was now. he landed on the roof with a thud the sports car being much sturdier than the mini van had been. Koga put his feet down flat on the roof and then grabbed the iron and went at the drivers side window with a vengeance, after the glass shatered and broke, He leaned over and started aiming for the pretty pink bots head. this one didn't seem as sturdy as the rest, the head tilted and fell off, and now there was no one controling the car. "SSShi!"
*KER PLACK*
Koga released his grip on the car with out much of a choice and sailed threw the air, for long enough to wonder what he was going to hit. Koga smacked into the top of a parked delivery truck and rolled, and rolled right of the top and slide down the side, he stumbled on the side walk and slumped at the side of the building. that was it right?...please?

Shin didn't believe that 'sowwy' for an instant. He had no time to call her on it, however! He was fighting robots. Nobody needed to tell those laser deathbots 'bring it'. It had already been broughten.
A pink robot flew at him, weilding a wooden plank. He held it high over his head, and brought it down with a squeaky 'Hiyah!'
The plank impacted on the side of a triangle, and fell into two pieces. The robot blinked at his ruined weapon, then looked up to the sharp triangle's owner. A foot grew in his field of vision, blotting it out.
*Crunch*
The next few minutes were hazy for Shin. Countless robots fell, shards sliced, diced, combined. There was a car chase! His focus jumped as he spun the shard sword around him in a circle, cutting down any robots dumb enough to attack him head-on. His eyes locked on Koga and Saphirus's vehicle. It spun out of control.
No!
Before he knew what he was doing, Shin was running. He stopped next to Koga, on one knee. "You okay?" He asked. The giant shard sword floated in the air behind him, swinging slightly like an obedient dog not quite certain what to do.
If getting their behinds kicked by pink robots was what the X's did for fun on a daily basis, Maya was ready to reconsider her future career choices. As much fun the whole virtual reality thing was, getting beaten up in was was not the coolest thing ever. Not by a long shot.
The car ide was not half bad though. She suspected if came from Saphirus, he was that kinda guy. Koga seemed like he preferred a more hands on approach. And he was good at it too. Maya, on the other hand, cound't do much besides kicking at the robots that got too close, throwings things at them, and cursing the best she could.
Next thing she knew, there was a crash, and Shin running over to the lizard boy. One man down, where's the other? Maya looked around just to spot Masochist sitting on the sidewalk, shaken up but unhurt. She'd seen him fall from a building. It was nothing new.
Running over to him, dodging pink robots, Maya knelt down beside the wounded hero.
"That was some action movie right there." she grinned, panting "Whatd'ya think, did we have enough of this videogame yet, or do we need to level up or somethin'?"
Did this game even have and Exit button?... She wondered.

Saph had been quite rattled. He'd blow off a giant robot's arm, gotten beaten by a robo kick boxer, ambushed by a bunch of mini-bots, and crashed into by a carbot. Could it really get any worse? They'd won, right? They had to be out of robots to kill...
He looked up at the oddly Gawain looking female in a daze as she addressed him. "Wait.. You're real? Never mind that, I think we're done. I mean, we had to run out of robots some time right?" He slowly got up, and paused, getting that- I spoke too soon, feeling you sometimes got when you made fun of someone, and they were right behind you. He paused and turned slowly, seeing a tank-sized robot on tracks with two rocket pods primed and aimed at them. He had just enough time to reach out quickly and use some force to push the Girl-knight out of the way far enough that she would be safe, and not so far as to hurt her badly when she landed. And then he heard the many roars of a hail of rockets leaving their homes and finding a new on at his feat.
Ba-BA-BA-BA-BA -BLOW! When the smoke cleared, The Masochist was nowhere to be found. The simulator only left a small headstone amongst the rubble that read. "Here lies Unknown User #2"
Saph found himself floating in the sky, as if he were in heaven. He looked down helplessly at his friends. A glance at his hands made him aware that he was, in fact, invisible; a spectator for the rest of this cruel game.
