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.

It was almost the end of his shift and almost closing time in the Full Circle bookstore and Van was anxious for the large hand on his watch to finish its orbit of the clock face. An hour to go and then he could...sleep. So maybe staying up till ungodly hours of the er,morning was foolish when you were picking up an eight hour shift a few hours later but...what could he say? He’d needed to get out of the apartment at roughly ten the night before and he was really, really good at entertaining himself and staying mad at his father.
The good news? He’d gotten a million and a half amazing pictures of some of New York City’s after hours crowd. The bad news? He’d only slept two and a half hours before flying out of bed to catch the bus that would take him to work. This was a good lesson in terms of priority management and Van knew it.
His ingenious solution to his exhaustion? Copious amounts of coffee of the sugar polluted quality. The young mutant’s body was basically humming with stolen energy, making it hard to focus on keeping himself together when it came to his powers. As he cleaned up the counters and the tables he randomly found his arms stretching to reach spots across the room as he thought about cleaning them. It really was distracting, but luckily not as disturbing as it could have been as the shop seemed to be pretty much deserted. Well, not totally, there was another guy working, Shin was his name, but he was working at the register. Van sorta knew him, but thus far their schedules hadn’t interacted much and very rarely were they alone together in the store. The young man from Brooklyn had been a zombie earlier in his shift, so there hadn’t been much socializing between the two of them--or if there had later Van had been flying through it at heavily caffeinated speeds.
He was about to take a little break in between wiping down the tables and restocking the food for the next day when he saw the note from his manager, Rosaline, taped carefully in a spot where he should have noticed it earlier. ‘Books in back need to be unpacked before either of you leave. Thanks!’ Van blinked down at the tiny piece of paper about a hundred times before looking up and searching for his co worker with his eyes. “Hey Shin...did Ros tell you about any books in the back?” The tone he used was very confused and very questioning.
Curses. Just when he had a good thing going...he was going to go home soon...why hadn’t he seen it before? Now he was going to have to fandangle with who knew how many boxes of un-fun in the back. Grrrrrr.

It was just an average day at Full Circle. He'd come to work tired, sleepy from hours of studying, dog-walking duties, and the various other tasks one such as Shin had to deal with. He'd worked the day away at the book store, one step from saying 'brainz', and half a heartbeat from naptime. He was feeling pretty good about the workday, actually. People weren't crowding the shop. He could rest his eyes for a bit, behind the counter.
So it was that, while he rested his eyes, he failed to see the neat tricks the other person in the shop was doing. All he heard was the sound of sweeping, restocking, and counter cleaning. It was a nice little nap. His eyes thanked him.
When the boy on-shift woke him, though, his eyes did not seem thankful. Thankful eyes did not narrow dangerously. Thankful eyes did not note the exact distance between his arm and the other man's face. Thankful eyes, Shin's eyes were not.
His mind strained for comprehension. "Books? Uh..." He paused, looked away, thinking. Focused on some shelves. Shin pulled one book slightly from the shelf on the counter by the register distractedly, reading its spine. "I seem to recall something. Why?"
He was going to have to do something, wasn't he? Shin just wasn't in a 'do-something' mood today, and it was apparent from the look on his face. He sighed, and looked back to the other worker. "Alright. Guess we have to sort them. I guess... we'll put up the closed sign, and work in the back?" Yeah, that'd work. He moved from his station over to the doors, locking them. The sign went up in the window. Shin walked over to stand by Van.
