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 case floated out of Daria's hands and into Hairpin's. "It only opens when I do this." Hairpin said, touching the mark of the case to the mark on her forehead. She pulled out two gold necklaces, with matching diamonds shaped like the mark. One floated out of Hairpin's hand and into Daria's. "That one was Mommy's, I want you to have it." Hairpin said softly.

Daria was caught off guard for a moment, then wrapped her arms around the little girl. She was crying too now and rested her chin on the girl's head while her tears flowed down her cheeks. She could remember almost every child she had ever hugged and how much she missed them.
"Alright, Kiddo," she said, pulling away and wiping her eyes. "I'm sorry." She smiled and put the necklace on around her neck, the pendant rested just above the poison sign on the necklace Mike had given her. "It's gorgeous, I love it." she felt bad because she wanted to give Hairpin all of the dozens of gifts she and Mike had picked up in Ohio-especially the CDplayer. But she figured she'd wait till all the stress was over. She kissed Kit-kat on the cheek. "Thank you."
Hairpin, happy again, was no longer crying. She kepts hugging Daria, and dafi had now latched onto Daria's ankle, and was also hugging. "You're awesome." Hairpin said simply. The case that had the necklaces now lay on the floor in the open, with a ring in it. Embedded in the ring was a glowing blue crystal.
"That was Daddy's." Hairpin said. "He said he used it to suppress powers. I don't know what that means." she explained. "I put it on once, and I couldn't hear Dafi, and my hair wouldn't move." Hairpin finished in a soft -I did a bad thing- sounding voice.

Daria nodded, understanding. "Oh. Surpession, just means that something is stopped...for a while at least. Like when you're really excited and the teacher asks you to sit still and you have to ry really hard. That's surpressing your excitement. If you wear the ring you can't use your powers. That jewel...it must be the jewel. You should keep it locked up and hidden." she closed the box and handed it back to Kit-Kat. "
"Hi Mike!" Hairpin said without turning around. Dafi leapt onto Mike's head from Daria's shoulder, with the jester's hat still on her head. She floated the case with the ring in it over to the dresser where it landed.
"Nah, she say that they can handle everything, doesn't even want the contractor to help." He shrugged, reaching up to scratch Dafi between the ears. "She did ask if we want to be full-time X-Men, though. I guess we're doing a good job kicking bad people out of here."

"Oh, alright. Well,...I guess we should get ready to head back." she smiled at Kit-Kat. "You stay out of trouble, okay?"
FULL TIME X-MEN!? HOW COOL IS THAT! AND I WAS WORRIED ABOUT FIGURING OUT WHAT TO TEACH. she laughed to herself. Then remembered that was loud. Sorry honey, got a little excited.
Mike laughed, wincing slightly at the loud thoughts. "Whenever you're ready, babe... I don't want to wear you out too bad with all these thousand-mile 'ports you seem to have to keep doing."

Daria stood. "No, I'll be fine. As long as no more giant clay things attack tonight. I've already been skipping my naps since I got here. Darn cat genes."
