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.

*tricity looked over at orion after his harsh words, but a sudden cracking noise sounded and her attention snapped back to the girl in the stone as the material withered away. the stone exploded into several pieces and the little girl fell limp to the floor. tricity pulled the pieces of the heavy stone aside trying to reach the student as she lay unconscious on the rubble.*
The heavier pieces of stone floated away, and the little girl gently joined them. Mike looked appologetically at Tricity as he lifted the girl free of the rubble with his mind, feeling slightly bad at beating her to the punch, but well aware that this was gentler than being lifted physically would be. The little girl floated gently to a bed, the rubble dropping back where it had been once she was free.
the doc had nodded but then became distracted with the girl coming out of her stone cocoon. Orion noticed that the kid was also telekinetic. Orion stood and was able to see the girl over everyones shoulders. He was glad she seemed to be ok.
*tricity rushed to her side and looked the girl over. she was bruised all on her arms and legs from being entrapped in the stone.* dammit... *she said, holding the girl's hand. the docprof quickly came over and studied the girl. his hands began to glow and the golden yellow emitted as always while he started to heal her.*
Orion seeing things were under contrrol sat down. He used the window sill again. Pulling out his zippo he lit it quietly anbd played with the flame using chaos and order.
*the lights began to flicker on and off, the doc looking down at her. not realizing it was herself doing in, tricity blinked at him confused.* oh...sorry... *she took a deep breath and relaxed, the lights going back to normal.* if i find gorgon, i swear...
"I wonder how hard it would be for her to turn people to stone if she suddenly finds herself afraid of rocks," Mike mused darkly, taking a seat somewhere back far enough so as to not interfere with the Doc or Tricity.
"Now your thinkin kid." Orion replied catching the kids comment. "Thats what we need more of. Just so long as you dont flinch in battle." Orion finished his comment and held a bit of flame in his hand then held it up to his eyes, and extinguished it.
*though tricity wasnt one for torture, she wouldnt mind seeing gorgon being tortured at the moment while she knelt down next to the girl. the doc grabbed her arm and began to lift tricity up.* docprof: "you shouldnt be on the floor, delilah. you know better than to..." yea yea, i know... *she answered, cutting him off and going to sit next to mike and orion.* i wish i knew where she was. what did you see in her head, mike?
"She was thinking something about home... I think. I tried to twist her thoughts so that the idea of leaving and coming back with us seemed very, very pleasant, but I got it wrong somehow." He looked rather sheepish and appologetic as he said this.
After a few seconds, he added, almost as a side thought, "I was asleep until this morning after we got back, so I never got to see. Did our little outing make the evening news?" By the tone in which Mike said this, he did NOT consider being on the news a very attractive prospect.
"Any time anything happens when theres a mutanty involved, the news is sure to cach it and display it with appropriate drama." Orion replied while re holstering his zippo lighter in the little leather pouch attached to his hip. "That being said I trhink it would be a good idea to begin looking for Gorgon in her usual spots."
and where do you supposed those places are? she's been in hiding for some time or at least disguise. i dont know where she goes anymore. *tricity said to orion.* maybe i can talk to siren...
"She'll probably go back to the reptile house sooner or later. She seemed pretty intent on talking to the snakes there," Mike offered, not really hoping that it would be much help.
you could be right...maybe she feels closer there. *tricity said to him, half-smiling. the little girl woke up and began to cry, not so much from pain, but from what had happened. she finally became coherent as she realized what occured at the zoo. the doc quickly calmed her and the girl fell asleep.* docprof: "she should be fine. she's just scared." *tricity nodded at him.*
