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.

Raina handed Millie to Emerald a little begrudgingly. "You seem a little young to be a surrogate mother..." she wasn't keen on the idea, but she had to remind herself that Millie knew the girl and appeared happy to see her... and that Raina hadn't been here long enough to know really who was who. "As long as she's happy... you have to understand this from the perspective of someone who has never seen it." she added carefully. "I just want to be sure Millie's safe regardless of who she's with." She pet Millie on the head and smiled sincerely.
"I think Mamma here is right little Millie... bed might be good for you" she passed Emerald the wonder teddy and gave Ted an unsure look.

"I wanna cookie, pleat?" She asked before relaxing the muscles in her neck and letting her body fall limp again. She was still conscious, but something needed to happen, and happen quickly, she needed some mental help. "I am tired. Doc tayt that I need to leep in the indirguree (infirmary) now toe he can make ture I am oki-doki-smoki-poki."
Emerald smiled softly at the little one walking over to the the pack of cookies and grabbing her one. She kept her close to her, her maternal instncts kicking again.She handed it the the little girl patting her on the head gently.
"Maybe it would be best if we ake you to the infermary firefly, for doc to make sure you are okay before you go to bed. Besides he said he needed to talk to me about something." The wolf girl stated to the the little girl in her arms.
She looked over at Raina, tail wagging back and forth. "You want me to take it from here? You can come with if you want." Emerald asked, "Oh and thanks for all you did before i got here."
Ted completly missed Raina's look; this 'mama emmy' seemed to have a power like his, only she could control it! But he decided to speak to her about it later, right now Millie seemed to need help more than anyone else. But he made a mental note to talk to her later, and find out if she learned to control it or was lucky enough to have had natural control from the beginning. "I think it's best that she see the Doc, just to make sure she's alright."

Raina nodded "I'm afraid she's going to hurt herself, but if you think you can handle her." She sat back on the stool looking concerned. She suddenly felt the age difference between herself and the other mutants. It wasn't that she was THAT much older... but she was concered with the light heartedness in such a situation.
Nika remained silent during the whole ordeal as Emmy came in and took Millie from Raina. The two girls seemed to be comfortable with one another so everyone else semed to let things go, but they all agreed taht Millie should be seen by the Doc.

Ted, who had chosen not to go with Emmy and Millie, turned to Raina. "Can't really say much else, probably 'cause she's young and doesn't understand her mutation. I'm sure she'll be fine, Emmy seems to understand her well." He felt sorry for Millie; he had heard that most mutants didn't have their powers 'acitivate' until they hit puberty. Having it coming into effect whislt she was so young... it must be incredibly confusing.

Raina yawned. "It's getting a little dry in here" she admitted. "I think maybe I should go for a swim. I heard there's a pool around here... I could use a dunk to refresh myself." she turned to Nika and Ted. "I'm not sure how well animal mutations do with water, but are you two up for it?"

Ted loved swimming, despite the fact that he wasn't particularly good at it. "Sure, I'll go, my mutation should be able to cope providing I don't hit my head on the side. And that would be a bad idea anyway. But I have one tiny little problem... when I arrived at the mansion, the only thing I brought with my was the rags I was wearing. Even these clothes belong to the mansion. Unless either of you have a pair of swimming shorts handy, I'll have to go into town and buy some. But that has it's complications too..." Ted was still a wanted fugitive, and although he had pretty much been forgotten and most of the cops had appeared to have given up hope, these was always the chance that someone would recognise him and call in the police. That would not be fun. "You remember that escaped mutant that was on TV a while back? That was me. I somehow doubt that the police have forgiven me yet, so leaving the mansion could proove a little risky."

Rina nodded. "Well... Nika and I ARE girls you know... We've got lots of clothes... makeup..." she smirked and excganged looks with Nika. "Ted, how do you feel about dressing in drag? Just enough to buy some swimming trunks for your madeup uncle." She laughed, but the look in her eyes said she was completley serious.

Ted gave her a completly blank stare. "Please tell me you are not serious." He really hoped that she was faking the serious look in her eyes, but it didn't seem like it. "You actually expect me to go through New York in drag?" Ted suddenly went into deep thought. Well, I could do it. It could allow me to spend some of the money the nice rich man gave me, and hell it would be funny. Ted suddenly grinned. "Sure, why not? It'll sure be interesting to see the looks on people's faces, and if necessary we could probably say I was doing it for charity." Ted wasn't really sure about it, but he did need some more clothes. The clothes he was going to buy, not the ones he was going to borrow from Raina.
