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 held her gaze as she spoke, and he still held her gaze when he started spitting spiders. From everywhere. That meant something new: she was not only fond of the little critters, she was creating them. Gawain did his best not to shudder at the thought.
All right, that's it. The girl's definitely nuts.
But, with all the creepyness, it still did sound as a challenge. And what knight doesn't love challenges?
Gawain grinned back at the spider lady.
"I'm a second generation mutant. My powers were active even before I was born. I was named after a goddess and a knight. I was raised by a loving mother who's also a badass human shifter, and she taught me how to survive in the world of mutants and humans. I lived on the streets for four years. I can walk in mirrors. I can steal your reflection if I want to."
He sat back too, mirroring her. Minus the spiders.
"Hell yes I am proud." he grinned "An' I'm not afraid of spiders."
She relaxed a little, and uncrossed her arms when he started to tell her a little about himself. The grin disappeared, and she looked honestly curious. "The streets, huh?" Her eyes dropped from him, and she lifted a hand to inspect purple nails for a moment, before shifting and dropping her feet to the floor. "You can learn a lot from a life like that, I'd assume."
Megan stood, and crossed the room to slip on her shoes and pick up her bundle of dirty clothes. Part of her wanted to leave them... but the other part wanted to bring them home and wash them. You never knew when you would need a Girl Scout uniform on the spot... Besides, she had already left a nice enough present under his pillow. One was enough. "... and you can steal reflections to boot? Cool. Maybe you can steal mind and I can convince people I'm a vampire." Her tongue poked out momentarily, and she paused in front of the door.
"By the way..." Sending a silent command to her children, the spiders hopped to skittering about on the wall behind Speedy's bed, leaving silken trails behind. "Since I lied and all, I won't count your question about me as a a debt owed. I still owe you something kid, so you better hop to figuring out what you want." She lifted a hand, turning the door so she could prop it open on her knee, and grinned. "If I don't hear from you soon, I'll just have to stop back in, won't I?"
She saluted him and stepped outside, with a trail of eight legged critters in tow. On the wall they had scrawled her phone number, as well as a nice little grinning face underneath. She was so proud of them sometimes... they knew so many tricks! Of course, she neglected to mention the nice little present under his pillow, nor had she mentioned the fact that his dresser was missing one werewoman sports bra. He'd figure it all out when he read her nice, thoughtful note...
Gawain, Thanks for letting me use your shower. Your out of shampoo, and I borrowed one of your girlie bras. You can have this one though. Fair trade! XOXO
>>"The streets, huh? You can learn a lot from a life like that, I'd assume."
"You have no idea."
>>"... and you can steal reflections to boot? Cool. Maybe you can steal mind and I can convince people I'm a vampire."
"I don't think they'd need much convincing."
>>"If I don't hear from you soon, I'll just have to stop back in, won't I?"
"I don't think I could stop you, could I?"
Gawain watched Girl Scout walk out, with a fair amount of spiders in tow. "Ya'd better make sure you take all of them" he grinned "I don't hurt animals inside the Mansion, but some of them might get caught in the vacuum cleaner or somethin'." he winked "And don't get lost on the way out."
And then the girl left, and the knight was left aloneto deal with the signs of her visit.
The phone number on the wall. That could stay, it was above Speedy's bed after all.
Bottle of shampoo gone. I'd use a lot too if I had a spider nest on my head.
Tiny footprints on the soap. All right, that one's going into the trash can.
A bra under the pillow. ... "Shut up..." Gawain shook his head in disbelief. Good thing he remembered to look around the room for stray spiders. If Twyla found that... urgh.
Good thing there was a room in the Mansion exactly for getting rid of embarrassing clothing items like that. Sam's room.
