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.

Daria was unflinching. She was fighting her urge to hit the girl; she knew DeathStar's powers because she'd read the student files. But also because she had so many strikes against her it really wouldn't help to get into a fight; especially one with a trainee.
She focused her emerald eyes on Deathstar's, showing no emotion but slight amusement.
"You have my attention." she said. "What do you want, make it worth it."
The rude girl was starting to make Nika's fur stand on end. How could someone be so blatantly rude especially to one who has just identified herself as being Second in Command. Nika was finding it harder and harder to maintain her cheery disposition. She wanted to show this girl some respect, but she remained on her bed as she didn't want to get out of line.

Iris twitched at the sound of a door opening and closing. A loud laugh woke her fully.
"Mmm...wha? Whaddido?" She blinked and yawned, and looked around. There was another person in the room; even half-asleep Iris could sense the tension. She rubbed her eyes, and saw who it was.
"Oh, hi Star. What're you doing here so laaa.....?" she asked, her question devolving into another yawn. She glanced at Nika.
Deathstar laughed harder at the woman commenting on her, She looks at Daria with an evil stare, "Make it worth it!, Your attention means nothing to me, the only thing I want to see is your little coarse tail leaving the infirmary" Deathstar hated when people use their authority to get respect from her. She heard a faint voice coming from the bed, it was Iris, "Hey there, What happened to you" she said as walks to the the side of the bed reading her chart totally disreguarding Daria.
For a brief moment Iris managed to get Nika's attention. Her question about shopping made the young cat girl smile if only for a moment. "Yeah, Daria and I were thinking of going shoping sometime as well as going to her restaurant to eat."
She then returned her gaze back to the upstart Deathstar. She was blatantly being rude to Daria and Nika was at her ropes end. All the other comments she could've let go but not that last one. Telling Daria she only wanted to see her leaving. Who the hell did she think she was?
Nika could feel her heart quickening and her blood rushing. She knew what was about to happen. She sat up and crouched on the bed as Deathstar had started talking to Iris. Apparently she liked Iris, but that wasn't stopping Nika's anger.
Her veins were on fire and her muscles were tense. Nika had had enough of Deathstars mouth. Faster than the blink of an eye she pushed off from the bed as she pounced towards Deathstar. She let out a roar and her claws extended out. Nika tackled Deathstar as they crashed into a portable metal table and pinned the girl to the floor. Her claws were digging deep into the punk girls shoulders. "I've had enough of your mightier than thou attitude." Without a second though Nika raised up her right hand and got ready to strike Deathstar.

Iris's face took on a worried expression as the tension grew slightly. She knew Deathstar could be a bit rough around the edges, but Nika was new, and probably wouldn't know that. She wasn't sure about Daria. When Star asked about what had happened, she merely shrugged.
"Nothing big. Just trainning in the Danger Room. We just got a bit over--Wha!"
In a flash Nika had pounced on Deathstar. One set of claws was up and ready to come down.
Iris panicked. In reaction, her ice gem activated, and a pillar of ice appeared from the floor. It grew up and around both Nika and Deathstar, pinning them in place, well apart from each other.
"Sorry! Sorry!" She cried in typical Iris-type fasion.

Daria rolled her eyes and sighed. "alright, alright, please no power usage or fighting on the school grounds."
She touched the ice pinning each girl and teleported it out to the garden.
She smoothed Nika's hair and tried to calm the girl down.
Then she turned to Deathstar. "Behavior like this does nothing but attract attention, negative attention, how do you expect me to think you don't want it? Being MEAN to me isn't going to make me IGNORE you, I know you're smart enough to know that.
"I never really met you and haven't seen you since Tricity's labor but if you don't like me, fine, leave me alone then. But I wouldn't advise you to disrespect me for no reason." she said calmly. Deathstar wasn't getting to her at all, the girl now just seemed juvenile and defensive, as if she needed or wanted help.
As Deathstar was conversing with Iris the new mutant Nika Pounced on her, landing on top of her on the floor, This Cheap shot angered Deathstar, Deathstar was trained by raph and knew a couple of maneuvers to break free of her hold. Deathstar eyes faded to black as her body absorbed Nika abilities, a Painful process for any foe she released Nika's hold of her , and shot to her feet. She was about to fire strike at Nika when Iris froze the two, She didn't know what to make out the situation and Saw that Iris was still in a weak condition, she is good friends with iris and didn't want to jeopardize it, "Iris it's okay, just release me, I promise I won't hurt her.....much!" she says while talking through her clenched teeth and looking over to Iris hoping she will release the ice hold on her.
As Daria teleported the two from the ice hold Deathstar dusts herself and responds to Daria's Comment. "Look!, I don't need your advice on nothing, I dont like you and probably never will, and lastly tell your litle shame!cat over there if she pulls another stunt like that she won't be coughing furballs, she will be coughing up my fist from pulling her f#@king tongue out" she says out loud obviously wanting to be heard, the doc pulls Deathstar to the side hoping they can begin the lesson.
Before Nika could strike the loud mouthed girl she felt a pain she had never felt before. It was as if her very energy was being drained from her. A second later they were both surrounded in ice. This didn't last long though as it suddenly vanished and Daria had started to try to calm the situation down.
Nika restrained herself from attacking again while Daria was talking to Deathstar. However the other girl continued to blast away with her words. The threat against Nika didn't hold over well though. "You'll have to have arms still attached to your body if you want to fulfil that threat."

<"Oh, not good,"> Iris thought to herself. She gave Daria a look halfway between a grimace and a cringe, unsure of what to do. She was hoping Daria could read her mind, and teleport someone away like she did the ice.

Daria kept a calm hand on both Iris and Nika, and steady yet kind eyes on Deathstar. She sighed inwardly.
"alright, I'm sorry if I offended you, I'm just trying to help, but if you don't want me as a friend, don't try to make me your enemy. I'll leave you alone if you leave me alone." Daria said. The doc gave her a stern look and she knew it was a hopeless cause. She sighed and turned to Nika. "Are you okay? I don't know if you should be up and about." she laughed lightly.
Nika didn't take her eyes off Deathstar when Daria spoke to. "Yeah I'm fine. In fact I feel like I could go a round or two. I just over did it in the Danger Room is all." Nika looked at her claws and noted some of Deathstars blood on them. She grabbed a towel and wiped them clean.

Iris blew a lock of her blonde hair out of her eyes, and sagged a bit. Her power faded, leaving her a tad bit dizzy. She sat down again.
She glanced at Daria, flushing slightly. Getting caught in an unauthorized trainning session by the second-in-command was embarrassing enough. Now adding keeping two friends from half-killing each other?
She shook her head. Her guardians were going to love this.....
"Um, are you both okay?" She addressed both Star and Nika, then looked at Daria. "Uh, sorry 'bout the whole ice thing. I just.... kind of.... reacted.... I hope I didn't hurt either of you."

Daria gave a warm smile to Iris.
"I got into a fight the first week I was here. And it wasn't because I just got scared. Don't think about it. In a while, you'll get better and it won't happen...at least I hope." she laughed.
She caught the Doc's eye again; he probably wanted to have a talk or be alone with Deathstar.
"I'm going to head out of here, I think you should do the same if you're not getting any medical help." she smiled.
The draining feeling of her power wearing off made Nika yawn but since she had only used it briefly it didn't have any other effects.
"I'm ok Iris. I'm not hurt at all."
Nika's ears swivled to Daira's voice and she felt that perhaps it was time to get out of there. "Let's go somewhere outside. I think we all need some fresh air."
