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.

“Yeah! Definetly.” He replied and the noted that she was starring at the ground. “um, uh. If thatssss what you want. It isss ok, if you changed your mind.” He glanced out the window across the way.
Koga tilted his head and was thinking the same thing that she was. “We live in an odd world. But yeah no matter what we can ssstudy together, if he sssaid you can do what you want, we can sssneak out and learn thingsss, really ssstick it to the old man, if he doesssn’t let you go to the school that is. I don’t see why he wouldn’t.” he shrugged. we’re getting clossse to our exit, if you are up for a couple blocksss walk we can get there fassster, but if we ssstay on for about thirty more minutesss we can get dropped off right at the gate your call, either isss fine by me..
"I would l-love t-to be study p-partners," Amber assured Koga. Just to show him that she really meant it she raised her eyes from their ground-ward position, and met his gaze. Maybe she would have to work on the whole confidence, meeting people's gaze thing. After all, she was a super powered mutant now so what did she really have to be afraid about?
"I'm sure h-he'd let me g-go to school." Amber wasn't absolutely positive about that but she did have a reasonable amount of suraty. Hopefully. "M-maybe w-we can sneak into a m-museum," she suggested, giggling at the prospect. The fact that she was even able to laugh was a testament to how comfortable she was feeling in the presence of the lizard mutant.
"I l-like walking, if y-you don't m-mind. It's p-peaceful at this time of n-night." Plus night was the only time Amber really could walk around safely.
“Could be fun, ssso long as that ben ssstiller guy isssn’t there like in thossse night at the mussseum moviesss, I wouldn’t mind the living exhibitsss, but Ben Ssstiller, ick.”
Koga stuck out his forked tongue and laughed.
“Well that’sss good then, it’sss almossst like we are ambassssadorsss to the ssschool and the sssanctuary, do you think they would mind if I came and hung out sometime? I wouldn’t mind ssseeing the place.” at least while not naked on the ceiling he thought. That was an odd night and he was glad things worked out without having to reveal himself.
” Yeah, I am good with walking. I like getting my exercissse.[“/b] He stood up and waited for her to come with him and proceded to exit the bus.
The bus driver nodded to the pair and gave a friendly smile. ” You kids keep out of trouble tonight, or at least don’t get caught!” The older gentleman said with a life, and Koga got the feeling it was a favorite joke to the man.
Koga nodded and looked to Amber, waiting to crack up until the bus pulled away. As he caught his breath he pointed to the corner street signs, laughed a little more and then spoke again. “from this corner we go three blocks down and then one to the left, from there you can’t miss it.”
Amber laughed with Koga. She coudln't remember the last time she was around someone that she could really laugh with. Back at the orphanage people mostly just avoided her and although her life hadn't been all that bad it had been rather lonely.
"Oh I d-don't think a-anyone would m-mind if you c-came to visit. I know I w-would l-like that." Once again Amber's cheeks reddened as she realized what she just said and her eyes went for the floor. "J-just d-don't look into p-people's rooms, e-even if the d-door is open." The last was stated both to change the subject away from her previous embarrassing statement and as valuable advice. She shuddered remembering her first day at Sanctuary and getting yelled at for doing just that.
Amber returned the bus driver's friendly smile but didn't really know how to react to the bad joke so she just kept smiling at him. It felt a little surreal to her, having someone who so obviously didn't care about her eyes. Sure, Koga and the people at Sanctuary didn't care but this was different because this was just some random bus driver. Maybe Aura was wrong and some people weren't bad after all.
"I c-can't wait," Amber stated, following along beside Koga.
Koga didn't bother explaining why most if not all the new york city bus drivers knew him and thought it was funny that he started a whole slew of bus advertising campaigns that involved clay monsters, he admitted to being part of the Christmas eve thing already though and that involved the bus. the ones that came near the mansion made an extra effort to be friendly so he wouldn't bus jack them and ram their vehicle into something, so he assumed.
Koga's eyes got wide at the comment of not looking in peoples rooms. "You want to go more in depth about that? I'm not sssure I want to know. But I am naturally curiousss, sssoooo?"
"We'll have to be a little be quiet, but there are plenty of nocturnal kidsss, ssso we ssshouldn't get hassssled." The pair walked down the peaceful streets near the mansion, for some reason criminals didn't play in their back yard too often, and if they did, they brought it all the way to the front door. The gate and the property came into view and Koga pointed it out as they closed the distance.
"I-It was my f-first day in S-Sanctuary," Amber answered sheepishly. "I w-was c-curious and l-looking into r-rooms. O-only ones whose d-doors w-were actually open," she amended hastily, to ensure that she didn't give the wrong impression. It would have sounded very bad had Koga assumed she was opening doors at random and peeking inside like some kind of perverted peeping tom. "I g-got y-yelled at by an a-amazon z-zebra stribed lady." Saying it out loud really did make her sound kind of pathetic.
At her first glance Amber was enchanted by the school. It was much larger than any school she had ever been to before and, or so Koga said, there were mutants inside! And, to make things even better, they weren't even expected to hide the fact that they were mutants. It was like some kind of strange student mutant utopia.
"Its l-lovely," Amber stated honestly, awe in her voice. "C-can we go inside?"
"Heh, I dunno, if you leave your door open here, you half expect the hallway sssshenanigans to ssspill into your room. to me if your door isss open, you don't want privacy all that bad." He waited as Amber seemed to stop in stunned awe, thats how he felt about it too. Yeah we can! and we can run all over it too.
He walked across to the gate pushed the buzzer and waved to the camera, the gate opened shortly after. he pointed toward the pool where a few of the older students were relaxing. they have everything here, it isss dissstracting sssometimesss, there isss alwayssss sssomething or sssomeone wanting you to hang out and not focus on ssstudiesss asss much.
"S-sounds like s-some of the p-people here are nicer than th-those at S-Sanctuary." Was that betraying her family for taking her in? She was pretty sure it wasn't, after all she knew that Abyss, Aura and Kaitlyn were nice and wasn't saying anything bad about them. It was just that some of the others who she hadn't really talked to had a way of glaring when she walked past that just screamed unapproachable and scary.
Amber followed Koga inside, curiosity warring with apprehension. She knew she shouldn't have been, but she was surprised to see people here, mutant people, who were her own age. There were a few teenagers in Sanctuary, but not this many. And was that a girl with colourful streamers of light coming out of her hands? She knew it was horribly rude, but she couldn't help but stare because it was such an amazing sight.
"I l-love it. I'm s-sure I could s-somehow manage to f-focus on my studies." The further into this strange world she went the more certain she was that it was perfect for her.
