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.

Verdy flushed a little, it was nice to feel... Appreciated? Loved? Accepted? Accepted worked. It was good for her too, that her roommate was just as crazy, if not crazier. Living close-quarters with someone who was serious all the time would surely have been a massive drag.
“I’m happy too, although with all my sleep-talking I’d have to say I’m more annoying to share with.”
She gave a little wince, she knew what she was dreaming about when words left her lips, and although she was fairly sure that in the main they were too mumbled and confusing to be interpreted they were sure to be irritating. She caught the thrown pillow and after inspecting it momentarily for white balls she placed it under herself and crossed her legs. Propping her elbows on her knees and her chin on her hand she watched as her green friend wriggled herself into what had to be the most uncomfortable-comfortable position ever.
How old was she? She did a little mental maths in her head, as well as a quick check to see if she had already answered that question, and if so, truthfully?
“I don’t remember you asking me before... I’m nineteen, well, twenty in a few days actually.”
Her birthday had, as it had for the last three years, almost gone unnoticed, slipped by ignored and only remembered when the seasons changed.
She grinned, and shook her head. "I hardly hear you at all. Normally when I do sleep, I sleep like a rock." To her knowledge, she hadn't heard the girl mutter anything while sleeping... not coherently at least...
"Really? You are only nineteen? I'm twenty two..." Andrea blinked, pointing to herself, and lifted her head back up. An action that proved painful due to her position. To remedy that, she wiggled herself into a reflection of the position Verdi had taken up, and cuddled a pillow in her lap."But you are turning twenty soon?" She smiled, cheerfully, and tilted her head like the innocent woman she was... all the while gears were turning, and Andrea was actually plotting for the first time in her life. "What is your birth date?"
She could imagine setting up something of a surprise the living room of the school... or maybe out back. No... that wouldn't do. She would need to do something over the top for her friend... something....big.

Thankfully she hadn't shamed herself too badly with her midnight mutterings. It was quite a relief to have a deep-sleeping roommate, in this matter at least, if she ever needed her friend in the middle of the night it might prove less than wonderful.
Andy was three years older than her. It was strange that Verdy hadn’t thought to ask about it before, for some reason she had always felt like the green girl was the same age, perhaps a little bit younger. But without the eyes it was difficult to gauge an age, the green skin didn’t really help either.
“The third of May, when is yours?”
The difference between nineteen and twenty two wasn’t really that astounding- although many things happened in that time, including the legal drinking age, the comparative difference between a three and six year old was far greater.
She blinked, toying with the fringe on the pillow in her lap. "The third?" That left her... about three weeks. Enough time.... but just barely for what she had planned so far. "My birthday?" She blinked, tilting her head slightly as she considered playing the same game she had with Saph.
...No, She was to tired to try to be silly. That pillow fight had taken a lot out of her. No wonder they were everywhere in her books and movies. "I turn twenty three in July." With a smile, she tossed her lap pillow aside and stood, turning what was left of her attention to the mess on the floor. She could either clean it up now, or wait until the morning...
Now would be better, just in case someone was wandering around and happened to stumble upon it. "It is late though... and I do recall waking you up rather rudely." Her smile widened and she tried to shake more of the annoying white dots from a skinny leg. "You should head back so you can sleep. I think I will clean this mess up and go down to the kitchen for a snack." Feigning a sheepish grin, she rolled the giant pillow she had killed over onto its back and inspected the tear before turning to head out the door. "I will be in shortly though, so do not worry!"
...So much birthday plotting to do... not nearly enough time for everything she had in mind.
