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.

"What can I say, I'm busy. Maybe you should call before you visit..." She lifted a finger, her brows furrowed to protest, but Cafas beat her to it. "But that would take half the fun out of it! Dropping in with warning is like telling an opponent your every attack, it means they are prepared and not left flailing!"
She blinked, dropped her pointed finger, and grinned. "See! He knows what I'm talking about." The male earned a few cool points in her book... next time the opportunity came, she might think twice before pantsing him, or something of equal embarrassment. Maybe... "Besides, you never gave me your number, Mrs. stingy. Otherwise I might have called you before hand." Now that she had permission to call as much as she wanted, she'd have to make sure to abuse that freedom. With a snort she flopped back into the water, attempting a successful back float, and adjusted her soaked, clingy dress.
"So Charlotte, you make a habit of stealing clothes or do you just have an odd way of flirting?"
Her eyes turned his way, smirking before her lips could arch to match. She pointed lazily through the water at Maya, and pursed her lips. "Well, I wouldn't call it stealing... More like borrowing or trading." With a grin, she turned her head to stare at bikini clad Mirror. "Your bra is really comfy by the way... a little too small though." She floated for a moment longer, then crossed her arms behind her head and re-submerged up to her chin, kicking to keep herself afloat. "As to the flirting question, I will assume you that you would know if I was flirting with you."
>>"But that would take half the fun out of it! Dropping in with warning is like telling an opponent your every attack, it means they are prepared and not left flailing!"
"Nah, it's more like kickin' the door down on an empty room" she corrected C.J., rolling her eyes "Put your pants back on, genius."
>>"Besides, you never gave me your number, Mrs. stingy. Otherwise I might have called you before hand."
"I've got your number, written all over my roommate's bed." Maya grinned "Maybe I'll call you. If you behave nicely. And don't steal too many clothes."
>>"Your bra is really comfy by the way... a little too small though."
Maya frowned, splashing some water at Charlotte for good measure. "Bite me."
Letting go of the ball Maya slipped underwater, deciding to leave the flirting issue up to C.J. and Charlotte to discuss. She swam around the bottom of the pool, enjoying the drumming in her ear and the feeling of gliding in the water. She came up for air at the other end of the pool.
"You two want some alone time over there?" she grinned, waving at them.
Cafas wrapped his legs around the crocodile and tilted 180 degrees on his z axis, submerging himself while pinching his nose in a very thoughtful way. Stroking his stubble underwater the metal manipulator tried to judge up the distances to Mirror. She was on the far side of the pool taunting him. Amber though, was not flirting with him, which was something he was both grateful for and disappointed by. He vaguely considered the ramifications with Calley had she been. Well, they would have been nonexistent, because, as everyone knows, Calley is an unfortunately straight kitty. Perhaps though, the kitty may be curious. It helped him sleep better.
He released his leg anchors and swam downward, using his last desperate pleas for air from his lungs to propel himself as fast as he could before punching the croc into a direct flight in the direction of the gender shifter. "Crikey, look out, that's a fast one!" He chortled to himself and turned back to the girl called charlotte. "So, what do you do? I know the incredible switcheroo over there can do stuff with reflections or something and changes genders, and I'm a metal manipulator, but not what you do." He swam around her in a menacing shark like way, if a shark were an obviously happy Australian and menacing meant friendly.
Megan grinned. "come closer, and maybe I will." She received the splash with barely a bat of the eye, and stuck her tongue out right back. Maya moved out of range for the moment, and pretty soon she was being circled by a merry man with an accent. How strange... yet oddly amusing. She blinked, and let her self sink up to her nose like an alligator laying in weight.
"So, what do you do? I know the incredible switcheroo over there can do stuff with reflections or something and changes genders, and I'm a metal manipulator, but not what you do."
She paused her tongue, pondering for a few moments on what she should say, before a small, proud grin appeared on her lips under the water. She kicked a little harder, bobbing back up so that she could answer. "What do I do? I Create." She paused again, blinking, and explained further. "Miss "switcharoo" over there already knows, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to flaunt once more."
With a small whistle, she called for her babies to scamper out of hiding, and gather at the side of the pool. After a few moments, they appeared, and quickly shouldered past one another as their curiosity got the best of them. In no time, her small group of spiders were side by side, peeking with bright blue eyes at the terror that was the water, and its inhabitants.
"You two want some alone time over there?" Megan grinned, and turned to face the bikini clad Mirror, and winked. "Threesomes are much better than twosomes, Maya my dear."
>> "What do I do? I Create. Miss "switcharoo" over there already knows, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to flaunt once more."
Maya grinned and ducked underwater to avoid the crocodile projectile. Coming back to the surface, she shook the water out of her hair, and grinned.
"What she does it, she makes the Addams Family feel like kindergarden." she answered, pointing at the spiders atthe edge of the pool "Also, she steals cookies from girl scouts, and swaps underwear with people."
That about summed it up, really. Maya grinned, thinking about how said underwear ended up in the Boss Man's room.
>>"Threesomes are much better than twosomes, Maya my dear."
"Oh, tell me about it." she grinned, splashing some water at the spider lady "I'm usually two out of the tree."
