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.

>>“Well, seeing as you’re incapacitated, I managed to sneak in a couple of diversions for you in the meantime. Okay, first off… I was not sure which you’d be in the mood for, so I got both, aaaand, a magazine.”
Gemma chuckled as she scooted back on the bed, piling up pillows so she could sit more comfortably. She looked at the books and the magazine; she'd been running out of things to read, so it was actually a very nice present.
"Thank you" she smiled "This will keep me from getting bored to death for a while." Or at least, until she got the TV situation sorted out.It shouldn't be too long, as far as she knew they had no technomancers in the school...
>>“Anyways, I say we make our own fun tonight. How about…you sit here, rest or nap, as you need…,I’ll stick around if you like, and then I can either order or make you something for dinner? Sound like a plan?”
"Sounds like a good plan indeed" she smiled, closing her eyes "But don't you have to go to work today?... I can imagine it's still crazy out there after Halloween..." There was a lot of work out there - for the police, for the hospitals, for the firemen, and of course, for psychotherapists who would be dealing with the aftermath long after the park was cleaned up and the paperwork finished. People were constantly talking, arguing and writing about the events, the ones they remembered, the ones they didn't, and the ones they made up. She could imagine how the police needed to work around the clock to maintain some kind of an order in the mess that was Halloween...

>> "Sounds like a good plan indeed…But don't you have to go to work today?... I can imagine it's still crazy out there after Halloween..."
“Yeah, it is pretty crazy, but I switched shifts.” he said with a smile. “One of the guys hasn’t seen his wife all week so I took his night shift. I already slept in, so I figured I could spend some time with you until I have to go in tonight.”
The look on his face was warm and there was comfort in his eyes. He wanted to be there for Gemma and since he had been running out on her all week with quick visits, he figured she at least deserved one that could be quasi long. At least he could stick around if she needed him, and if not, then he would get the pleasure of her company. It was not like the woman could not take care of herself, but he still liked the idea of being there for her. After all, she was technically now his girlfriend and there are just some things that people in relationships should do for one another.
He did not mind the night shift anyways. It was calming since there were only a few calls for most of the night. Besides, after the whole Halloween incident, his time would mostly be eaten up by filing paper work, looking through Missing Person and Deceased photos and trying to find matches. It really was a mess, but the night shift would at least insure that most of the paper work could get done. Less time they would have to waste wading through paper. Though, after a long night of such tedious work, he would end up sleeping through most of the day tomorrow, at least he would get to spend the time with Gemma now.
“So, you at least get the pleasure of my company for a few hours at least,” he smiled.

"That's very sweet of you" Gemma smiled with her eyes still closed; she allowed herself to just enjoy his company "I appreciate it. It would be bad to see you work yourself to death." she chuckled, glancing up at him "So, you managed to square away the fact that I used your gun to shoot innocent people?"
She didn't really talk about it, but she still didn't manage to get over that part of the night. She knew she had no other chance, since Poseidon had no idea what a gun was, or how it worked; but probably under different circumstances they both would have gotten into serious trouble for Jorge allowing a civilian to use his gun.
"Sometimes I have the feeling we'll be dealing with this one Halloween for years" she sighed, closing her eyes again "I only had a few students there, thank God, but I'm still not sure how I'll be able to handle all of them..."

>> "That's very sweet of you…I appreciate it. It would be bad to see you work yourself to death…So, you managed to square away the fact that I used your gun to shoot innocent people?"
Yeah he did not want to work himself to death either. To be honest that was not an option he was willing to entertain right now. So far things had been pretty crazy. Loved ones had died in the mess, others were simply missing. Even some suffered such traumatic effects from having their memories returned that they had a full mental break down. Nobodies who had dressed like royalty or celebrities were having a hard time understanding why they still were not famous. Unfortunately a good many of those are with psychiatrists right now or locked in mental wards.
“Yeah, that’s all squared away. It was in self-defense and since none of it was lethal, you’re fine. You did what you had to, to protect yourself.” It was true, Gemma did have a hard time that night just trying to keep herself alive. So many people hurt, but at least no one died by her hand. Jorge was not sure he could handle that as well.
It was not fun work being on this side that had to clean up all this mess. Yes Jorge had been through a lot himself, but he was still a cop. He still had a job to do and as much as he would have liked to having taken a day or two off to get his head together, other people needed his help. Gemma was one of those people and he was glad to sacrifice a little sleep just to be with her.
"Sometimes I have the feeling we'll be dealing with this one Halloween for years…I only had a few students there, thank God, but I'm still not sure how I'll be able to handle all of them..."
He smiled as he patted her encouragingly on her hand and dropped his voice to a small whisper.
“I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out. You’re just that type of person.” he sighed as he sat back in her bed and simply let her doze, gently he ran his thumb over her figures. “Get some rest, Gemma. I’ll be right here when you wake up. Promise.”

"Yeah, I did." she agreed, and stopped at that; she didn't really want to go into how it was much more than just protecting herself. Of course, survival instinct was working all the way; but there was also her protectiveness about people she cared about, for example Jorgeidon, and also, the fact that as an adapted she was probably the only one who could stop the Halloween madness. "That's good."
>>“I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out. You’re just that type of person. Get some rest, Gemma. I’ll be right here when you wake up. Promise.”
"Good" she repeadted, resting her head on his shoulder; he was warm, and real, and himself, and that last part was even more important now that she was not taking it for granted anymore. He meant safety, and someone who would take care of her - she was so very not used to that. "You'd better be." she muttered, yawning before she allowed herself to drift off to sleep.
And when she woke up, hours later, he was still right there.
