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.

One word changed the mood. One word. He was sure lucky he wasn't slinging around 'three word mood changers' that day.
For a moment, Aurum worried he'd ended the conversation.
Riley was a lot of things. Good at evading questions she didn't want to answer. Good at trying to meet him, to top him, point for point, throughout their conversations. She was everything she summed herself up to be. And honest. The honesty in contrast to the evasion she'd been giving him earlier surprised him, although it didn't show on his face. He hadn't expected her to share her flaws with him, at all. He'd probably have called her on it, jokingly, if she'd dodged the question. He might have shared more. But her putting herself out there? Psychoanalyzing herself, and painting him a picture? He just hadn't been expecting it. He wasn't sure what the appropriate response was to that.
Aurum took a few quiet moments to sip his coffee, and think his response over.
Something came to him.
Aurum set his coffee cup down in front of him with a 'clap'. He tapped the lid of the cup, as if in example. "Bitter can be good."

Aurum spoke, and Riley’s head jerked up from the coffee lid she’d been staring at. It was kind of like the simple statement had brought her back from a place she wasn’t sure she’d wanted to go, but had tried anyway. She stared at him for a second, mild surprise at what she’d revealed holding her eyes a little wide. The emotions playing through her were probably very clear on her face, which was something else that never happened to Riley.
Suddenly it was too much. Much too much.
She stood, legs and feet making their own hasty retreat that felt independent of the rest of Riley’s mind and body.
”I…I have to go.” she said. ”I…thanks for the coffee, really.”
And then she was gone, back to the table, and the guy, she’d just left. The closer she got to the door, the more she started to panic. What had just happened? Why had she sat there all that time admitting things, and sharing things, and…dammit. Damn damn damn. Riley raised a hand to her forehead and realized one more thing.
