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.

Sawyer chuckled. "Yeah. Right. I'd do your cleaning, depending on how much you'd pay me for it."
Why would he clean someone else's room when he didn't even like cleaning his own, even if it was at nearly a hundred miles per hour? If he could make himself a pretty decent amount of money for that said service though, maybe he could give it a shot. Sure, his parents had promised to send him money every few weeks...
Not that he would use it very often by the looks of it. Still, you could never have too much money, even if you were stuck inside four walls for who knows how long.
"So, did Sir Gawain give you the rules of the place?" For a second the teenage speedster had to stop and think. Either Maya knew her brother too well, or he'd done it to other new Mutants before. Telling them the rules, I mean.
Well, at least those were the two options he had, he couldn't possible think of a third, not right off the bat like that. "Yeah, pretty hardcore. I'll keep them in mind."
Well, okay... Maybe he had already forgotten a good quarter of them already.
"I actually already zoomed through the place a few times, but if your up for it we could always take a tour from here to the Kitchens. I'm starving." He did have a habit of requiring more food than most, using up so much energy and all.
>>"Yeah, pretty hardcore. I'll keep them in mind."
I bet ya already forgot half of them.
Maya grinned. "Whatever he said 'bout me, it ain't true, don' believe him."
>>"I actually already zoomed through the place a few times, but if your up for it we could always take a tour from here to the Kitchens. I'm starving."
"Great idea" Maya agreed, walking to the mirror before she remembered she was not alone. She turned on her heels and marched to the door instead "Let's roll. I'm starvin'."
I'm eating for two.
"So, how do ya like the place so far? Have you met some people who make up for my brother's lameness?" she asked as she walked, hands in her pockets.
The teenage boy smirked. "He didn't say much about you. Only that I couldn't try and get you in my pants... Or anything similar. Not that I ever planned on it." he smirked. Not that she wasn't attractive or anything... Okay, maybe it could have crossed his mind if Gawain hadn't mentioned her being off limits. Even if she liked girls.
He didn't really care, either way, to be quite frank. Besides, from the moment he'd set eyes on Maya - well, aside from all those years ago - he'd had a feeling that she could be quite some trouble down the road for him.
Sawyer watched as his roommate's sister (or so he believed) approached the nearest mirror, only to double back toward him. Together side by side they walked toward their breakfast. Walking. It wasn't exactly something Sawyer did very often. It wasn't his favorite way to travel on foot, that was for sure. Heck, he could already be eating by now.
Sawyer gave Maya a glance as she asked him a question... Or two. "I guess, maybe." he admitted with a shrug. Henrietta wasn't half-bad. She wasn't exactly his type, but she wasn't so bad. Then there was Verdy, Cafas, Juka and Koga... They weren't the most boring people he'd ever met either.
"To tell ya the truth, your brother seems like a pretty decent guy. And your a pretty decent girl too. I guess what you guys have going on is typical sibling rivalry; bashing about each other." he chuckled. No worries, he did the same with his own two older brothers. Presley and Billy were great at the end of the day, no matter how much they argued and fooled around with one another.
>>"He didn't say much about you. Only that I couldn't try and get you in my pants... Or anything similar. Not that I ever planned on it."
'Get you in my pants'? Maya winced at the idea. That would be the day... urgh. Well, these kinds of things were a part of the game. Also, at least he remembered the warning. Extra points for that.
"Well, he was right about that" she grinned.
>>"To tell ya the truth, your brother seems like a pretty decent guy. And your a pretty decent girl too. I guess what you guys have going on is typical sibling rivalry; bashing about each other."
"Yeah, that must be it" Maya agreed with a wide grin as they walked into the kitchen "I mean if I'm already stuck with him 24/7 and with the same powers he has, at least I can bitch 'bout it. Much more entertainin'." she chuckled as she rummaged though the fridge, hunting for things that would make up a decend sandwich. Or two. Maybe four.
"So ya have brothers too, huh" she looked up "I don't remember them."
Sawyer laughed at her expression, she definitely did not seem to find that very appealing. He gave her a little smirk, "You aren't my type anyway, so no worries." he said. Honestly, she truly wasn't, more so than he believed even. Okay, so maybe he didn't have much of a type, but he did like the hot, somewhat girlie girls.
Well, at least when it came to looks. Honestly, he could really care less about personality. He wasn't searching for anything permanent.
Maya wasn't ugly, but she wasn't girly either, at all. He liked the type of girls that didn't mind being around him, yet didn't ask him too many personal questions either. He didn't exactly go for the girls who liked other girls either, he knew he had next to no chances. Besides, he wasn't about to bruise his ego!
Maya was completely safe from his teenage boy hands.
He nodded once as she agreed with him about the whole brother and sister rivalry. He noticed that wide grin plastered on her face, another rather suspicious thing in his book. And then the fact that she was saying she was with his twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week. Hadn't she claimed earlier that she was rarely around him? Besides, Sawyer hadn't seen his roommate in a few hours now!
"Yeah, you're right." he said nonetheless, easily hiding his doubt. Whatever he was doubting at this point was beyond him, really. Pushing the thoughts aside, the teenager felt his stomach growling slightly. With his ability, he lost energy quite easily. The last thing he had eaten were a few cookies last night.
The Speedster sped around the Kitchen, grabbing a bowl, a box of cereal, a spoon and milk at top speed. Mostly to show off. When he was done, and Maya still was in the midst of making her own food, he sat down at the table.
"Yeah, they're a few years older than I am so they weren't around much during the summer days when I was a kid. At least not when my mother dragged me to the park." Dragged. He wasn't remembering the fact that on most days, he was the one that practically dragged her to the park, wanting to badly see his new best friend in the whole wide world.
>>"Yeah, they're a few years older than I am so they weren't around much during the summer days when I was a kid. At least not when my mother dragged me to the park."
Maya chuckled, watching him prepare breakfast extra fast. Super speed did come in handy, especially when one was really starving. She rolled her eyes none the less, and kept working at her own natural speed.
"We were really the bestest friends, huh" she grinned, finally settling down with and extra big double sandwich stuffed with everything that looked edible in the fridge "At least for that summer. It was a really good summer." she admitted, taking a bite and chewing in quiet nostalgia "Too bad we moved the next year."
She stil remembered him. That was another thing to prove she didn't have many friends to remember, from the days before the Mansion...
"An' who woulda thought we'd both end up here." she smirked "Your borthers have abilities too, or is it just you who got lucky?"
Sawyer smirked. Best friends, yet here they were ten years later, both different people knowing next to nothing about one another. It had been a pretty good summer friendship though, not that Sawyer really remembered how he'd felt at the time. Besides, a six year-old boy usually didn't quite care about friends, something that really hadn't changed, even ten years later. He still didn't care about friends, about creating bonds, about other people in general. At least not until he really got to know them, which often took quite some time. He wasn't the most open guy out there.
"Best friends can be a way of putting it." he said, not the slightest bit out of breath from all of that quick moving around. Taking the first bite out of his needed breakfast, he watched her finish the making of her sandwich and then come sit down with him. About time, he thought with a smirk. "Imagine what our life could be like if we would have stayed friends for a few years." he said, not exactly meaning much by it. It was somewhat fun to think about though; he could have met Gawain a few years earlier too.
Ah yes, they were both here alright. At the mention of his brothers, Sawyer smirked once more. "No way, I'm definitely the only Mutant in my family. My brother Presley hates Mutants... And my brother Billy, although he may not hate me at this point, would rather stay uninvolved... Nah, I think I'm better off being the only one. Living the kind of life we live can be a burden, something I wouldn't want my brothers to go through... Although, it would do Presley some good. That bastard." Yeah, Presley and Sawyer didn't really get along.
"Sibling rivalry, huh" Maya grinned at Sawyer "Well, somewhere deep down they prolly envy you." she chuckled "Or not."
Either way, Speedy had siblings. Even though he was not so fond of them... Maya could have told him how lucky he was. She didn't. She was just staring to have friends again, and have something very similar to a family - she'd just recently adopted three sisters. They'd have to wait and see how that works out...
"What if I told ya I was already a mutant back then?" she grinned, choosing to change the topic "An' my mom too. I was born with my powers active. Gawain too." she added hurriedly. Damn, she was out of practice with the twin thing "I guess that makes for a whole different childhood, huh."
