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.

When the pen appeared to Deirdra, she was a bit surprised. Smiling, she grabbed it and looked down at the form. She began to scribble in some answers. Her name, sex, birthday, age, and whatnot were always the easiest part of a form, but that goes without saying. However, she did hate how questions could become more in-depth. The blond had loathed filling out applications for jobs. It seemed a bit nosy to just ask a question, get the answer on a sheet, and then be able to keep it for a later date. It seemed too easy for people to know almost everything about you. She hated it and she didn’t like the idea of knowledge being available on her.
Deirdra had to admit that it was exciting to be able to get a new room. The woman enjoyed decorating, to an extent. She may as well make the experience a good one and so, she would try to enjoy it this time. What she had seen of the Sanctuary thus far appeared very beautiful, so Deirdra had a feeling the rooms would be quite nice as well. “I look forward to see where I’ll be staying. This building seems to be pretty large. There must be plenty of rooms available to people who may want to stay.”
Oh. These were the in-depth questions she meant. A light sigh escaped the woman’s lips. Alright, answer to the first question: What I think of mutants, humans, and their roles. “Well, I think that mutants have abilities for a reason. It shows that we’re above humans. They’re no longer the top of the food chain, though many of them treat us like dirt and persecute us. We’re superior to them. It’s just that simple and I don’t want to hear their talk anymore. It’s ridiculous.” The blond glanced up from the form and looked at Roland.
After processing the second question: What could you bring to this little family here, Deirdra smirked. It had a bit of smugness embedded in it. “I could bring plenty of things, such as excitement. Besides that, my loyalties lie with mutants and my mutation is very strong. I’ve never seen anyone else with quite the same ability. Three doses of my venom can kill the average sized human.” Another smirk. “Don’t ask how I know. I think that partly answers what I can do. I’m very handy in cases where someone needs to be stunned. I can keep someone in a paralyzed state for about 30 minutes before it would actually kill them. “
The woman jotted down a few more answers on her forms and continued to look down as she spoke. “I’m willing to do just about anything to put us where we belong. As long as I have an income, there’s no need to pretend to be normal. I can show what I am and I can use my mutation. I would prefer not to hurt anyone unless they are directly related to mutants not being where they should be. People who don’t hate us, but need to be eliminated, I may not be able to do. I won’t lie to you about that.” She held the clipboard out for him to grab and looked Roland straight in the eye. “I believe I’ll make a great edition, don’t you?”
Roland smiled as Deirdra did, the pen appearing in her lap. He watched her with interest as she filled out parts of it, more interested in her facial features. She didn't like forms, which could mean many things, all of them helpful. At some point, it appeared she was done. Or as done as she was going to be at the moment. She looked up at him." I look forward to see where I’ll be staying. This building seems to be pretty large. There must be plenty of rooms available to people who may want to stay.” Roland continued his method of acquiescence. " Usually we just assign rooms. I thought I'd give you the option to pick your own. It's the least I can do, considering you saved me from the police." Hardly, but it was her ego being inflated, not his.
“Well, I think that mutants have abilities for a reason. It shows that we’re above humans. They’re no longer the top of the food chain, though many of them treat us like dirt and persecute us. We’re superior to them. It’s just that simple and I don’t want to hear their talk anymore. It’s ridiculous.” Exactly what Roland wanted to hear. She already believed in the propaganda so that saved the lecture. He probably wouldn't be the one to give it considering his own views on the subject. he remembered to nod in approval so that she felt as if things were going well.
'I could bring plenty of things, such as excitement. Besides that, my loyalties lie with mutants and my mutation is very strong. I’ve never seen anyone else with quite the same ability. Three doses of my venom can kill the average sized human.” Another smirk. “Don’t ask how I know. I think that partly answers what I can do. I’m very handy in cases where someone needs to be stunned. I can keep someone in a paralyzed state for about 30 minutes before it would actually kill them." Paralyzed for 30 minutes. Now that was a plus. Roland could think of a number of people he would like to be paralyzed. " What kind of excitement?" Of course he would ask that question. He left it at that.
He listened to her speak about her morals and ethics. It was really none of his concern. She could be sorted to the missions that required her skills, whatever they were outside of shapeshifting into a scorpion and being a secretary. her general enthusiasm and her actions had made her a shoe-in for the forces, though he wanted to make a point. "I think you'll make an excellent addition, Deirdra. One thing though, the Sanctuary is public knowledge. The Order? Not so much. So, if you could keep its existence to yourself, I'd appreciate it. I'll run your info past Miss Faust, our esteemed leader. I'm sure we can use you though. would you like to go find yourself a room now?"

He said that she saved him. The woman let out a small laugh. “I highly doubt that, Roland, I hope you don’t mind if I call you by your first name. Now that I’ve seen your aim, I’m sure you could’ve taken care of yourself. I thought I was helping, but I know better now.” Deirdra smirked and leaned back in her chair. “I do appreciate your kind words though. You definitely know what women want to hear, that’s for sure.” She smiled at him and held out his pen for him to take. “Thank you for letting me borrow it, but I think that’s all I needed it for.”
The blond chuckled when Roland asked what kind of excitement she meant. “There are plenty of different kinds. I enjoy partying and drinking. I’m very fun and flirty plus I’m not exactly into the long term stuff, which means I don’t scare other people like me off.” She smiled at him.” I just like to think of myself as exciting. I’m even more exciting when I’m able to use my mutation. When I don’t, it’s kind of like hiding part of myself. I can’t say that I go around telling about myself or letting people see exactly how I am, but I actually like my mutation. Not to mention, I have to be in my scorpion form to produce more of my toxins.”
Roland explained to the woman that the Order wasn’t something she wasn’t supposed to share with many people. Deirdra nodded and smiled. “I completely understand and I can’t really imagine what kind of conversation would bring that up, but I’m not sure how well I’d trust them.” He said Lori Faust was the leader and that he’d give her information to her. The blond gave another quick nod. “I hope I get to meet her soon, I’m sure she’s a very interesting woman. Yes, I would very much like to go see where I’ll be staying.” She rose from the chair.
