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 bring these things on myself, and I've never really had any consequences for it. My dad pushed all my problems away to save his own ass. Now it's come back to kick me...
His eyes watered, leaning over clumsily for his blindness he kissed the side of her head.

The thing that was hurting Daria the most was not being able to just lean into Mike and let him squeze her as hard as he needed to. Or take his head and lay it on her chest so she could hold him. she instead leaned in mentally.
Mike, it's not your fault. You didn't have anything to do with the General. Why are you blaming yourself?

Daria nodded. Yeah..Pops... tears welled up in her eyes but she refused to cry.
If anybody even thinks to imply that this was even remotly your fault... she began. When people die, Mike, I feel like any negative attitudes should be ignored and eliminated. The time after should be used to reflect on good times spent with and good deeds done by the deceased.
When I was about twelve my aunt got alzeimers. She might as well have been dead. I was so dissapointed in some of my family because they were all fighting over who would get her..and the checks that were sent for her. I couldn't help but think that since she wasn't cognizant, it was like her soul had left her body and how lucky she was not to be able to see the crap that people were flining afterwards. They have 'em in every family. But it just takes someone to refuse to stand for it.
Mike shook his head. Sometimes being a family takes all reason out of people.
And I doubt people are going to lay off me. Particularly after the new will is read. They'll probably be civil until then, since we're going to be in public.
The full implication of things finally hit home. Shit... I have to go home for the funeral...

Did he like leave you all his stuff? And people are going to get mad at you? or jealous? She asked. The assistant came over with a needle
"Stablizer" he mumbled, rubbing it with an alcohol pad and then sticking the needle in.
"What's that for?" she asked, her voice weak from the growling.
"It will help you feel better since the medication will wear off soon." he mumbled this as well and walked off. You don't dread going home that much do you?
They all hate me, Daria. And the ones who don't will hate me once they see how much he left me. And then, it's going to all turn into my fault, since that gives them ground to contest the will.

I kinda feel like saying "Let haters hate." Back in D.C my friends and i used to live by that. Especially me and Sean. she was proud to be able to say it without the stinging tears. But I know how much it means to have family and how painful it can be when they don't like you. But I'm sure it'll be fine. The focus is on Pops. You'll walk in there and ignore the haters and focus on your grandfather.

Exactly. I mean you're not with them anymore, you're here and the school needs you around here. she had meant to say I need you here but she knew Mike would understand. So anyone who doesn't care about you doesn't deserve the trouble.
She was silent as she thought again. And I could go with you if you want.

Daria rolled her eyes. She was pleasantly aware that she could feel her toes.
Oh nonsense, you of all people should know that if I can help out, that means nothing to me. Let you're family say something. I will walk up in there with my ears decorated in jewels and gold rings on my tail. With a t-shirt that says "proud Mutant coming through.
Mike smiled a little wider. God, where have you been all my life. His mood couldn't help but get a little lighter at that. Maybe it won't be as bad as I think. At least Sarah will be there.
