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.

Charles gave her a warm smile. She had managed to gain control this time, but that had been with his help. What about next time, when he wasn’t around to help her? She had more power than she knew what to do with, and her lack of control could cause serious problems.
“Very good Deja,” he said proudly, “the link between your conscious mind and your dreams has been established. Even without me here you’ll still have control of your dreams. However, there is something I need to discuss with you. I think we had better do this in the real world.”
He withdrew from her mind, awakening her at the same time. “I will lock the memory of the doctor away, so he is no longer a threat.” With some swift mental work he sealed the memory away. She would now have no recollection of the doctor. “We have a slight problem.”
“You have great potential,” he explained, “but you don’t yet have control. Currently your power could cause untold damage without you being able to stop it. While I don’t doubt you could return me my ability to walk, you could just as easily kill me. For the safety of you and everyone around you I will have to limit your access to your powers for now, until you can gain the control you need.” He really hoped she would agree, or her would be forced to mentally subdue her and do it without her consent for her own good.
Deja, then shuddered. "Lock, up my abilitiy. Why? Am I your first case, like this, what are the procedures? Am I gonna feel woozy? You need to give me more than that?'' Deja then sighed. "For all I know, you could wipe my whole mind out, and I'll be all zombie deja." Deja quickly, stepped back from Proffesor.
With a reassuring smile Charles motioned for Deja to take a seat. “Relax,” he said, “this is not the first time I have done this. One of my original pupils, Jean Grey, also had more power than she could control. I sealed some power away from her too. All that happened was that her usable power weakened. No need to worry about me damaging the rest of your mind, I know what I’m doing.”
Deja then smiled and sat down. "Okay, I trust you. Go ahead, and zap away." Deja then took in a deep breath. "By the way, I wouldnt hurt you with my abilities Proffesor, but your right, this power does need to be kept away. "Deja then closed her eyes, waiting for Proffesor to precede.
Charles believed that Deja wouldn’t hurt him on purpose, but without the proper control there was no telling what she could do. Placing two fingertips on each temple he allowed himself to access her mind, searching for her power. Once he found it he began to isolate it, to make it so he could manipulate it.
With her power isolated he began to start placing psychic barriers to limit her access to her power. She would still be able to create things from her dreams, dreams she could now control, but they would be less powerful than before. If she did lose control any monster she created with her mind would be significantly weaker than before, and pose far less of a threat to those around her.
When he finally finished he pulled his hands back and let out a breath that he’d been holding. It had been taxing work, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, but now it was done Deja could begin to practise using her gift and start to finally enjoy it.
Deja felt weird, after the Proffesor, finished. "So, now I can use my power's freely?" Deja then had a question. "Could I use my powers without dreaming?" Deja then smiled, and gave the Proffesor a hug. Then she satdown.
Charles smiled when Deja hugged him. “With time and practise,” he answered her question, “If you learn how to meditate I believe that you could call your thoughts into being. If you like I can teach you a few meditation techniques to help you practise.”
"Sure that would be awesome." Deja then went over to the Proffesor. "Now I've never tested my abilities, all out. So I don't know, all I can do. But I've decided to get better with my abiltiies and start praticing in my room." Deja then told proffesor about the incident. "Like once, I dreamt I was in the miltiary, and I learned tatics and how to use about any gun, and bomb.''
“Well once I’ve shown you this technique you should be able to practise whenever you want, and now that I’ve reigned in your power you have no fear of hurting anyone,” he said with a smile.
“Now, sit on the floor and close your eyes,” he instructed, “then empty your mind, and let all your thoughts fade away until there is nothing. Once you have done that focus on something, like a dog. Continue to focus on it.” With any luch she would be able to create a dog, though here amazement at doing so would probably break her concentration and cause it to disappear.
Deja decided to try it. She sat on the floor, and let all the thoughts fade away. She then began thinking of a retriever puppy, only the puppy. All of a sudden a puppy, walked around the danger room. "Wow, it's so cute!" All of a sudden, she smiled, got up and gave the Proffesor, another hug. "Oh, thank you, thank you so much! You've helped me, and whenever you need something, and I can help, just ask me." Deja was excited. All of a sudden, the puppy, jumped on her leg. She smiled, and held it in her arms, petting it and it dissapeared. "What happened, why did it dissapear? I thought I was gonna have a new dog?"
Charles was proud of Deja and the progress she had made. “You’re creations will only exist for as long as you focus,” he explained to her, “If you lose focus then it will disappear. Keep practising and you’ll get better. Given time you should be able to create several things and keep them all active. For now though just keep trying one thing at a time.”
"Ok, I'll do one thing, at a time." Deja then smiled. "So, I guess thats it! I'll keep practicing out of danger room, until I get better. "Like amybe, I could create shields, to protect myself!" Deja then smiled, as she did a cartwheel, in excitement. "So thanks, for coming out, I appreciated it. You know, I was thinking about dropping my powers, permanetly but now I'll keep them. Who knows, I could help the world, even save it. I'snt that what the X-men do, save the world." Deja then decided to push the Proffesor's wheelchair for him, to the door. "Do you need me, to take you to your car, I dont mind." Deja then smiled.
“While I appreciate the offer,” Charles said with a smile, “I can make it fine on my own. Why don’t you go and start using your powers, get to know and love them. I’ll check up on you when I can. It has been a pleasure meeting you Deja.” He offered his hand to shake. She reminded him so much of Jean.
Deja quickly smiled. "Okay Proffesor, I'll train, I guess! Deja then decided to go up to the Proffesor and give him a kiss on the cheek. She then sat down, and did the excersises he told her. "Then a cat appeared. "Wow, this is so fun , she thought."
With a final smile at Deja Charles made his way towards the exit. He was so pleased to see her finally enjoying her power, embracing it for the gift it was, as opposed to the curse that she had made it. When he got the chance he would keep an eye on her, but the very existence of the sister school was a testament to how busy he was. He would do what he could though, and he wished Deja all the best.
