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.

Gawain stopped dancing as soon as Aura's attention was distracted. He turned, staring at the guys, blinking in surprise.
I am dancing with the most dangerous mutant psycho I have ever met, and two hobos are trying to mug us? I mean, REALLY?!
Aura didn't miss a beat, and before Gawain could make up his mind to laugh, curse, or fight, the issue was solved. Fight. One of the guys felt it was his divine mission to beat up the girl. Gawain found himself smirking. Until the other guy's attention turned to him.
The first swing of the baseball bat missed his head by mere inches; Gawain dropped, and spun around, trying to sweep the guy's legs from under him. Unfortunately enough, he succeeded, and the guy fell. Onto him.
"Damn..."
The following brawl was rather chaotic, and later on Gawain could never piece the whole thing together. There was a moment where the guy managed to twist his arm, and it made a nasty sound; he hit his head on the pavement, kicked the guy off, and the kicked him again a couple of times, just for good measure. He scrambled to his feet.
>>"FIlthy Human scum"
"Aura..."
Don't kill a person because it's wrong? Stop bathing in blood? Are you okay?
Gawain looked away from the gory scene and the other guy running away screaming. She did it. She killed a human, just like that.
Aura walked back, the blood still dripping from her Aura unable to grip onto it. The gory scene behind her betrayed the innocent look in Aura's eyes. Rubbing her shoulder she looked at gawain with a smile before she spoke. "Are you all right my friend, Animals can be so rude, not even good for food these humans" she said shaking her head with a sigh. "To bad the other one got away, he laid a hand on you, on that's simply unforgivable" she went on looking from the alley though it was now empty again.
"Humans such filthy monsters, i would have been unable to forgive myself had they killed you. I Have watched far to many of our kind fall to the humans hands, that is why i dance every day, so i can become strong enough to prevent any more of our friends from falling. Years ago, i was in the woods of canada and watched all my friends die becuse i was to weak to protect them and even recently i have lost friends due to my own lack of power" she said her voice sounding a bit annoyed as she related her story and her failings and she also felt that Mirrior being wounded at all wa sher fault for not guarding him better.
"I should have stayed close to you" she said standing and pulling out her cellphone. "Are you hurt bad?" she asked obviously concerned for her new friends safety. "In any case i would like to dance with you again, i had fun both before and during that rather rude interuption" she said pushing some of her messy brown hair from her face. She looked around to try and amke sure no cops were around "in anyc ase we should get out of here, soon the cops will likely investigate this" she said looking back at the body.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Gawains shook his head, breathing heavily. It was not really the pain in his shoulder or the dizzyness from hitting his head - it was more because of the blood and guts, although he hated to admit it. He was used to violece, he was not used to slaughter.
Was she realy worrying about not being able to protect him?
"Ain't your fault." he muttered, looking at the strange girl "Don't beat yourself up over it. Or anyone else, really." he sighed "Ya can't protect everyone."
>>"In any case i would like to dance with you again, i had fun both before and during that rather rude interuption"
Before and d... oh good lord.
"Yeeeah." the young knight leaned against the wall "Next time we gotta do my kinda dancin' though."
>>"in anyc ase we should get out of here, soon the cops will likely investigate this"
Annd that's my cue to get the hell outta here.
"Yeah ya're right." he nodded, walking towards a nearby window "I guess I'll go get myself cleaned up. Umm... I'll see you around, I guess. And thanks for the dance."
How hard could it be to find someone who leaves a trail of murdered humans?...
