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.

Strikes. Kicks. Sweeps. All right, so maybe Maya was enjoying this more than she should have. They had a lot of opponents, and they just kept coming; fortunately enough, most of them were like the guy she fought the day before, a little bit on the slow side. Maya dodged, and punched, and kicked...
>>”Maya! Sweep!”
... and sidestepped, dug her elbow into the guy's shoulder, and swept his legs out from under him, calf to calf.

There it was, Gawain was Maya and Maya was Gawain he could tell from the sweep there was no way Maya could get every detail Gawain had yesterday, even if they had a link of sorts. He smirked but didn’t end the session yet, no not yet a plan was already hatching in his mind about how to treat this little act of trickery.
”Great Maya keep it up!” Sam said not pointing out that he knew it was Gawain, the little sidestep and block session kept going for a few more minutes till he decided it was enough of a warm up. ”Computer! End simulation!” the men all faded and vanished but the streets of New York remained as he looked to Maya. Sam brought water and tossed her a bottle, ”Here,” he smirked readying for her to confess who she really was.
”Fantastic work out there, defiantly looked better than your brother… in more ways than one…” Sam said as he gave her a wink (an obvious wing for a guy with one eye) oh yes, he was resorting to hitting on Maya, it was a low blow but one should never play tricks on their teacher.
Walking over and holding out his hand for the water he continued, ”So what are you doing later tonight?” Sam asked with a grin on his face. Hoping she would tell him who she really was before he had to take it to far.
>>”Fantastic work out there, defiantly looked better than your brother… in more ways than one…”
That's what you get when you are a girl. Much more compliments for the same work. Maya decided she could live with that. She grinned and took the bottle, opening it to take a sip...
>>”So what are you doing later tonight?”
... just to spit it out a moment later, wondering if it was a good or a bad thing that the mouthful of water missed Sam by a few inches. Wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, Maya rearranged her expression from shocked to cheeky in a few seconds.
"I'm not sure..." she shrugged, giving Sam a good once over and taking another sip of water before she answered "... I'm probably gonna be hangin' out with my girlfriend. Why?"

She spat water out of her mouth, he grinned, she answered his question, he took a step closer ”I say you nix those plans and let’s see if we can heat things up a bit!” Sam took a step closer as a wall of ice started to form behind Maya. He took another step closer, making the surface of the ice wall reflective if he/she wanted to retreat in the safety of the wall. He hoped she would he really would have hated to make things weird but you never try to pull one over the defense teacher.
The voice in the back of his mind thought he was taking this a bit too far but… on the other hand he was finding this situation quite humorous. He decided to end it before something happened that he knew he would regret like Maya possibly trying to knee him in the Johnson because he was playing a bit to friendly. So with that fear in mind he ended his façade.
”Now, how about you quit this little charade and tell me what’s going on otherwise I’ll see if Bruno, can tell the difference between you and your brother.” Bruno couldn’t he knew that but that was the idea, even if they looked different they would still register as the same person to Bruno. His nose never lied and he knew what he didn’t like.
>>”I say you nix those plans and let’s see if we can heat things up a bit!”
Maya backed away from Sam; she was starting to suspect he was playing her own game, but she was not sure how far he was prepared to take it. The last thing she needed was making out with the defense teacher. Ew.
"I'm sorry" she muttered "She has... advantages ya can't compete with."
She's hot, and you are not.
The moment her back hit the block of ice she knew he was playing. She didn't phase; just leaned back against the cold surface, and stared back at Sam stubbornly.
>>”Now, how about you quit this little charade and tell me what’s going on otherwise I’ll see if Bruno, can tell the difference between you and your brother.”
Maya rolled her eyes.
"Fine. You win. Took ya long enough to spot a shifter..."

The ice wall shattered and the ice melted into drops of water on the ground as he took a few steps back away from Maya, ”I have a bad habit in trusting my students.” Sam said with a slight grin as he looked up to the god room and yelled for something else. ”Hope you don’t think a sex change will get you out of practice, cause expect hell today!”
Two hours later Sam looked at Maya and smiled, she did good today again even if the day was mostly review from the day before with a new throw tossed in. She was as skilled as Gawain was, smaller and not as strong but it was to be expected with the shift, Maya just needed to be better with technique and speed opposed to strength if she could do that she would be fine.
”Think that is enough for today…” Sam said as he dismissed the danger room back to normal, ”Now care to tell me a little more about your abilities, like anything else I should know? Details if you don’t mind…” Sam said a little curious about it’s abilities.
>>”Hope you don’t think a sex change will get you out of practice, cause expect hell today!”
Maya rolled her eyes. Verrry funny. Ha-ha.
"Why would it get me out of practice?"
Oh yeah. Maya was a feminist.
Two hours later, she was still a feminist, although a very tired and beaten up one, with a lot of brand new knowledge on how to kick ass. That in itself was very satisfying. Leanin back against the wall and sliding down into a sitting position, Maya drank the rest of the water.
>>”Now care to tell me a little more about your abilities, like anything else I should know? Details if you don’t mind…”
"Oh yeah, everyone wants the details." Maya smirked at him "I'm a gender shifter, nothin' else, so Gawain an' Maya are the only versions you'll get. I shift automatically every night. Today it's Maya, tomorrow's Gawain, 'n' so on." she grinned at Sam "And yes, the girlfriend knows. And likes. Anythin' else?"

Nodding his head Sam agreed with the details he was curious and as he should be it wasn’t everyday a student of his gender bended to try and trick him. Sam just wanted to know what he was dealing with. When she was done explain it he nodded his head already aware how to teach him/her. It would be repetitive but it would have to work, the boy learns something new and the girl reps it the next day. It would be the best way to teach it. Of this he was sure.
As she made her comment about her girlfriend knowing and liking the shift Sam laughed, ”Nothing wrong with a little variety, though it isn’t for everyone.” Sam said with a smirk including himself and Maya/Gawain in the not for everyone category.
”No that will be it for the day, rest up and meet me here tomorrow same time, bring you’re a game and a security cup you’ll need one.” Sam said with a small laugh as he dismissed the class.
