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.

Iris led the way down to the basement, down a hallway, and palmed a sliding door open. Inside the room was darkened, making it hard to see where the walls began and ended, with a stairway leading up one side to the observation room. While the others explored the main room, she made her way up the stairway, pulling out her cell phone as she went. She hooked her phone into the computer system, as Chip had taught her, then returned to the main floor.
“All right, I’ve only done this a couple of times, so we’ll see if it works.” She scratched at her shoulder nervously. She hadn’t actually shown her mutation to many people yet, so she was still a bit on the shy side. Still, if she was going to embarrass herself, this was the perfect place to do it. “Activate program Mpath,” she spoke into the air.
“Activating.”
The air in front of them shimmered slightly, and a hologram appeared that looked exactly like Iris. The image was sitting indian-style reading a book. She glanced over the top of the book, eyeing the group for a moment. Then she glanced at her wrist, as if looking at a watch.
“A bit late for training, aren’t we?” she asked in an overly bored and dry voice.
As the group stood in the danger room as Iris went to the top deck, Kesuk stood in front of Nika, face to face, and ran his fingers from her ear to her waist, almost like petting her but more sensual. When Iris came down he heard her talking about activating a program. Suddenly an almost mirror image of Iris appeared and began to talk. " Iris whats up with the holographic twin?" Kesuk asked

“So what is it that this danger room is suppose to do? I mean I don’t know but this hologram don’t look to dangerous.” Jason said. Jason slide his hands in to his pockets and pull out a pair of leather gloves with the fingers cut out of them. Thighting the straps around his wrist Jason kinda chuckled over towards the other guy in the room. “Yaw know, if this room is dangerous umm you might wanna spend a little more time paying attention to things other then trying to make some kittens.” Jason joked to the guy.

“So what is it that this danger room is suppose to do? I mean I don’t know but this hologram don’t look to dangerous.”
The image closed her book and leaned her head on her hand. She gave Jason the once over, her expression unimpressed. "You're not exactly my idea of a threat either, Sunshine. So I guess that makes us even." She turned her gaze on Nika and Kesuk. One eyebrow raised as she took in the girl's features and Kesuk's actions. "Hmm. Interesting."
Iris covered her eyes with her hand, unbelieveably embarrassed. She'd forgotten about the holo's personality settings, something she'd been meaning to talk to Chip about correcting.
"Um, everyone, this is Crystal. She's a program one of the students here created to help me train when the Xmen were unavailable. As you see, she needs adjusting."

Jason was surprised at what this hologram had said back to him. I mean it wasn’t to many people that said much to him but when they did and he didn’t like it he made it well known. “So I see the thing can think… But can it feel, cause if so its about to feel something in a minute.” Jason had replied getting a little hot headed at the image floating in front of him. “Yeah I’m pretty sure it could have one or to adjustment. All you gotta do is tell me where to start.” Jason said as he started to get kinda of a kick that he was fighting with a hologram. Honestly what could a hologram do he thought.
Nika thought she sensed some sort of competittion rising between Kesuk and Jason as kesuk hugged Nika tighter after Jason had scratched the cat girls ear. Maybe it was all in her head but time will tell.
They made their way to the Danger Room with Iris leading the way. The room was dark but thankfully Nika's cat eyes could see. The room was empty until a hologram of Iris appeared. It even had it's own personality. Her attention was drawn away from the image and directed to jason when he made the comment about making kittens. Nika couldn't think of anything to say and could only give a look of shock. Was he purposefully trying to get under Kesuk's skin or was he really that much of a jerk?
She shook off Jason's comment as the hologram seemed interested in the cat girl's appearance. "This is a strange program Iris."
Kesuk gave the Jason the same sarcastic smile but more sinister look. However he didnt keep it at this " Are you jealous?" he asked while smiling down at Nika. " so.... iris can we get this started please. but can we set the danger room to an outside mode?" Kesuk politley asked.

“So I see the thing can think… But can it feel, cause if so its about to feel something in a minute.”
Iris winced a bit as Jason squared off against Crystal. <"Oh, this won't end pretty.">
"Um, no, she can't feel anything, but-" She muttered, apparently too low for him to hear.
“Yeah I’m pretty sure it could have one or to adjustment. All you gotta do is tell me where to start.”
Crystal snorted. "Oh, I'm not going to be your opponent. Though let me know in advance and I'll glady take you on in a battle of wits."
"This is a strange program Iris." Iris gave Nika a weak smile.
"You have no idea. Crystal, could you set us up with a training course? This Nika and Jason's first time here." She was trying to forestall another verbal assault.
Crystal nodded. "First timers, eh? What type of mutations are we talking about?" Iris explained Nika's and Kesuk's powers, looking to each of them to be sure she got them right. Then she looked at Jason, realized she hadn't asked before. Crystal beat her too it.
"How 'bout you, Sunshine? What can you do?" Iris covered her eyes again, hoping against hope he wouldn't take that as a challenge.

“Man oh man, what the hell is up with this thing. Umm lets see I’m pretty strong. I guess you could say I get a bit of help from my hands.” Jason said looking down and his hands bald up in a fist. “I aint the fastest and I cant make it sprinkle like the other two but I think I can hold my own.” Jason said looking back over towards Kesuk. But it wasn’t Kesuk getting under his skin as much as it was this damn hologram. But this time it was no stores to robe or any street punks to beat so Jason just had to hope this thing started soon so he could blow off a little steam.
Nika didn't say anything but watched Jason as his temper seemed to flare up a bit. It wasn't helping that Crystal had a sharp tongue and apparently the knowledge of how to use it. Even though there was no danger the room was still providing entertainment.
"So Iris want to tell Crystal lets get a move on things, but please set the danger room in an outside setting. Thanks" Kesuk said while looking at everyone he noticed that Jason was getting a little agitated and decided to hold back on the testosterone..... for now at least..

"How informative," Crystal reply dryly. Then she sighed and tossed her book away; it vanished in a mini fireworks display. "All right then, let's see what we can whip up for you." She nodded at Kesuk's request. "Outside? We can do that." She snapped her fingers.
The air around them began to warp and change. Grass covered the floor, spreading out from beneath their feet and forming hills and knolls. Stands of trees emerged and dotted the countryside, some of them fallen over and rotting. Other bits began to appear; an overturned tractor, a dismantled haybaler, broken fence post, and many others. The air took on a heavy, humind feel and smell, as if it had just rained. The darkness lightened a bit, but did not fade completely. Overhead a full moon cast a bit of extra light on the scenery. Though the room had seemed small at first, now it gave the impression of going on and on. In the distance a solitary house could be seen. A closer inspection would reveal a rotting, run-down farm house, two stories that looked about ready to collapse.
As the group took in the scene, Crystal addressed them.
"All right boys and girls, welcome to the Farm Time Forgot. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is three-fold. First of all, Survival. Hidden in this patch of heaven are an unknown number of mutant haters. You are the scum of the universe, as far as they're concerned, and they are determined to wipe you out. Any time you are hit it will not kill you, obviously, but you will feel it, so try not to get hit.
"Mission two: Target destruction. Each target you destroy will give you one point. Gather as many points as you can. Each hit you take will be deducted from your score.
"And mission three has a bit of a twist." Crystal smirked at the boys slyly. "This is a battle of the sexes. The combined scores of Kesuk and Jason will be compared to the combined scores of Nika and Iris. After all, anyone wanting to be an Xman must learn to work as a team, right? So look after your teammates. It's in your best interests." She crossed her legs and floated into the air, holding her hands outward, like a genie.
"Happy hunting friends. You have exactly fifteen minutes, begining....
"Now." She snapped her fingers and vanished in a shower of sparks.
Nika wasted now time. The instant Crystal said time started the young cat girl ran a few steps and leapt up onto the turned over tractor for a better view of things. It kind of reminded her of a horror flick she saw once. She didn't know where to begin but maybe the house was a good start. "Hey Iris should we check out the house first?"
Nika turned back to look at Iris for her reaction when she saw a figure approaching the other girl. "Hey behind you!" she shouted and pointed to Iris.
While crystal was explaining the rules Kesuk thought great im stuck with him. And when it began he ran over to Jason " so got any ideas. or a stategy or something?" Kesuk asked.Right after he asked Jason the question 2 farmers with picks ran toward Jason and himself. Kesuk's eyes went ice blue and it started to rain in the area of the farmers but soon after, sleet the size of basketballs were falling and crushed them. Kesuk's eyes turned to normal. " by the way, dont think of Nika, She is taken." he said looking at Jason.

“Man are you serious? That’s all you got?” Jason said with a light laugh. Jason leaned over stabbing a small nail in to his arm. Bright red blood began to flow out of his veins. “Ah, that’s a good one.” He thought to him self as the blood instead of dripping down his hands and on to the ground started to from up his arm. Jason’s arm now looked like two metal pipes with rough jagged edges. Jason stood up and looked over at Kesuk. “Look its done like this.” Jason took off in a full sprint. As he got closer you could see It in his eyes he had done this once or twice before. The look also looked as if he was starting to enjoy him self. Jason clasped both hands together and swung like a baseball bat to the farmers stomach and stuck to Jason’s arm. “Shit, He was suppose to go flying across the yard. Oh well. Jason said as he gave his arm a little shake and the man fell to the ground.
