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.

"I'd like to think so..." *Tricity thought about how Kaine was 'part of the family', but could easily destroy it if Whitmore got the stone. She shook her head of thought and grabbed the chocolate syrup, drenching the vanilla bean ice cream with it.* "Cheers to the Gods of ice cream. They keep me sane."
He shrugged. "She's twelve, she can handle it. I'd say that Daria and I would do it, but chances are that a nice chunk of the times that the baby's parents are going to be busy, the whole team will be busy."
"Well...we always have the Docprof. He's like a grandfather to them all. I could always ask Charles for some help from his residents, but Johnathon is always good, along with the other older students." *She grabbed the bottle again and poured a ton more chocolate in her bowl.* "Damn I love ice cream..."
"Does the baby want a bowl all for itself?" Mike teased, picking up the ice cream scoop questioningly. He was noticeably quieter after the mention of 'grandfather,' but he didn't say anything about it.
*She nudged him in the shoulder with her own.* "Ha ha ha! Very funny!! Just wait till you're pregnant someday!!" *Tricity teased, putting chocolate syrup on his nose with her finger.* "You want me to get Daria to help you clean that up??"
"Oh lord, don't even joke like that. I'm not convinced I'd even make a passable father, let alone a good one," Mike chuckled, wiping the chocolate off his nose with a telekinetic wipe. "And don't worry, Daria will help me clean up later all on her own," he smirked.
"Oh GROSS!" *She said, making throw up gestures.* "I think you'd be a GREAT father! You're so caring and protective...strong. Look at what you did for me and your sister. God knows you've protected this school over and over again."
"Yes, until I go all psychotic on some degenerate piece of trash, even if he deserves it. I don't think there's a good way to explain to your kids why Daddy killed a whole bunch of people with his mind," Mike shrugged. In truth this bothered him... but he didn't see an alternative, really. It's just the way that it was.
"What are you like, 13??" *After her sarcastic remark, she put her spoon down to talk to him seriously.* "You have SO much time to grow up; trust me. The years between 18 to where I am now and will still be in the next few years, will change your life. You start to become an adult...FAST! You'll see. Your ideal on things will start to differ from how you feel now."
"I hope so. Still..." He shook his head. "I don't know. My whole generation in my family turned out more screwed up than the last one. I'm a mess, and I'm the relatively stable one. I'd hate to wish that bloodline on any poor unsuspecting child."
"Just because your family has had it's share of mishaps and misfortunes, doesn't mean you will pass it on to your kids someday. And I do stress SOMEDAY!" *She said, tapping him in the head with her spoon.*
Fade slowly made her way down the halls, her stomach had been growling all day long. Voices echoed through her ears and she immediately stopped next to the door and turned her head invisible. She twisted her head to the side to see who was in the kitchen. *ok, good* she thought *I recognize them, and the guy can catch me, so I'd better turn visible and say hello before they get annoyed*. With that, the girl turned her head visible again and took a step in the room until she realized their serious facial expressions. "I am so, so sorry, do you want me to leave? I didn't mean to...I was just...hungry, sorry." She said, now feeling guilty for intruding on the people that allowed her to come to this safe place.
