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.

Garrett hadn't noticed the gills specifically, but in looking at them, he also saw the reminiscent signs of inhibitor collars. He didn't try to push the thoughts away, but chose to focus on more positive things. Like the fact that there was a mermaid swimming circles around him. She seemed especially pleased at his touching of her tail. He could see how some people might look at it. Some people weren't mutants that had a great respect and wonder for their own kind, though.
Unfortunately the leveling of his head caused her neural map to appear in his eyes. the bikini only hid the obvious flesh at that point. With a solid gulp, he swam to the edge and pulled himself out of the water. He sat on the edge of the pool, his feet stirring the warm water. He looked down at the distorted and shimmering reflection rather than get any more eyefuls.She spoke of the merfolk and a solid chord was struck within the neural manipulator's soul. Still looking at the water, he decided to try his best to be open and honest. It was something he had to relearn.
" You know I was in one of those groups. To be honest, while I want to be here and do my best to be good, there is a real and solid part of me that still believes we are the evolution of humans. I know that doesn't make us better, but I can't put myself on the same level as humans yet. Hopefully, my time here will help me overcome these ego problems." He shrugged slightly. Sometimes he felt as if he didn't belong anywhere. Maybe some hermit cave.
She spoke of the aquarium and her performances there. " Sounds like a plan. You know, I shouldn't have drawn you away from training. It's obvious you know how to be aquatic. You wanted to train your legs, so let's do that. I would really like to learn how to use the Danger Room controls, if you could teach me. I have some ideas for a specialized course and would like to see it come alive." At least she would be in more clothes. She was a beautiful and vibrant woman. He definitely was aroused by her presence. However, training had to come first. As the Grandmaster of the monastery had often said, " Did you come here to learn something? Or did you come to feel good about yourself?"

Raina floated a bit and when he went to the edge of the pool she swam over and leaned her arms up on it to listen. "Well I don't disagree that we're evolved. I think that much is clear." she said thinking her words over carefully. "And some people are better than other people, kinder, nicer, stronger skills... so in an aspect we're better but I think in the way that we're all unique." she looked up at the ceiling a bit and let out a whistle. "But who knows really? I just don't think we're meant to rule the earth or anything. I don't think humans should though either." she shrugged. "My mutation has really brought me closer to nature."
When he mentioned heading back to the danger room she thought to herself that she agreed. She'd come here to train not to frolic in the water. "Um, that sounds like a great idea but I'm going to need a little help getting back to myself..." she trailed off a moment assessing the situation. Normally she'd be in here on her own and take as long as she needed to get dry. Often she'd drag herself up onto one of the patio lounge chairs after having covered it with fluffy dry towels before getting in and let herself dry out a bit. But that could take over an hour.
I know it can be tricky for you touching people but there's no delicate way for me to get out of here without a lift." she motioned to his arms. "And then I'm going to need some towels... a lot of towels... really really quickly." she grinned up at him.
It was good to be out of the water. It gave Garrett some much needed perspective. She swam over and leaned up on the edge next to him, explaining her own view of the mutant/human equation. She was right on all counts. No one was really better than anyone else. There was no reason to worry over his particular feelings on the issue as there was no specific policy at the Mansion that he was aware of that said he had to feel any certain way about it. He smiled down at her. " Nothing wrong with Nature. I need to get out of the city sometime. Go camping. I think I'd be able to think more clearly that way. "
Happy with her decision to return to training, Garrett listened to her unique problem. It made perfect sense. " There's no real problem with touching you. Not at all." He winked. It's more my problem. I can see your nerves beneath your skin, so by touching you, I can basically see through your clothes like an X-ray. I think I've behaved well so far, considering. I'll go find some towels." He pushed himself up and went into a room near the pool ,finding a cart of folded pool towels. Rolling it out to the shallow end, Garrett then placed a large foldout chair near by and covered the seat and legs in several layers of towels. He also put several on either side to cover her quickly once she was there.
Stepping down into the water again from that end, he beckoned to her, his arms outstretched. " Okay, all that's left is for you to come jump in my arms." He chuckled and waited for just that to occur,

Oh. So that's how his power worked. That made sense. After Luke Raina didn't think she had an embarrassed bone in her body when it came to the subject of nudity. But that was Luke... and this was Garrett. Some things, you never get over.
She watched him feeling quite relieved and grateful that this task didn't overwhelm him or make him feel uncomfortable. She'd have to make an effort to spend more time like this with Garrett. He made her feel calm and relaxed and he was very insightful. Of course, she'd have to spend more time after she got over her fascination with all the mansions men. Of course knowing that at least Luke was safe and moved on might have helped with that.
He made a crack about coming into his arms and she hesitated for almost a second. He'd all ready felt her skin so there wasn't any need to be ashamed. And. Well. She was sure she wouldnt be the first body he'd ever seen either. She smiled up at him and braced her arms allowing herself to be hoisted on to the chair.
"I really appreciate this. Part of my training is trying to learn to change back as quickly as I can. It would be so much easier if I could simply decide to change instead of having to have contact with water and then dry off." She chatted while she rubbed her tail down with towels. He'd done a great job and brought her some really fluffy ones! The tail slowly turned from a shiny green to a fleshier tone. "All I can do is keep working on things I guess. I remember when I first met you, you had horrible headaches. Is that still a problem for you?" the scales were melting away and she spread the towel like a sheet. Soon little painted toes peeked out from underneath the towel. She stood up carefully- legs still wobbly- and wrapped the towel around her wait.
"Ok, I'm going to head back to the locker room. Meet you back there in 5?"
