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.

"Del?" Siren's head pokes out from the back room. "What are you doing home already? Don't you have.... <shit, it is Friday, right?...> What, anatomy lab today?"
Clair meanwhile says quickly and quietly into the mouthpiece of the phone. "I just wanted to let you know. Ok, bye." She is oddly devoid of emotion, or it at least seems that way. Her face is certainly giving off emotion...
"Did you trip?" Siren says, coming to help Delphi.
<Yes it is Friday, sorry if I interrupted something. Are you in the habit of entertaining guest while I'm away?> *Delphi asks grabbing her stuff up quickly so that she needs little of Siren's 'help' She would like to know what the hell is going on.*
Siren blinks, and takes all of a nano second to figure out how this must look. Clair is a young twenty-something red-head (looks natural too...) and not at all hard on the eyes.
"It's not like that-! I swear! This is Clair! You know, the girl who sings for me at the club now?" He says quickly trying to explain. "She offered us a ride home, and wanted to use the phone, that's it!"
Clair is meanwhile staying very very quiet and.... emotionless?
Perfect, convient. Clair nice meeting you excuse me but right now I need to. . . *Delphi says sharply, not really at Clair but in general. She quickly rights the table, never finishes her sentence and retreats into the only avaliable room in the house. The bathroom she can't figure out what is wrong with Clair but Siren has been too much lately, and the rant about her needing to be happy on her own this morning. What did he mean by it did he mean he is still being 'happy' on his own, why is her life such a mess right now?*
"<Shit shit shit>" Siren knocks on the door of the bathroom. "Delphi, please, don't be like that-"
"I should go..." Clair says, inching towards the door.
It is at this point that someone- it sounds like Aria- decides that there has been too much noise to continue with the scheduled nap, and starts to cry. Which of course, in turn, gets the other two crying.
"<Shit->" Siren starts towards the children, pauses and looks back at the bathroom door, torn between the two.
"I can take care of them if you want- I had a baby brother." Clair offers.
Siren hesitates, not sure if that's such a good idea. Clair's an odd one, he knows, but she's nice enough- Fun to work with, certainly. She just... doesn't give off any music. Odd, yes, but not bad. He always assumed she was a closeted mutant.
Clair takes his assesment of her as a yes and heads for the nursery to try to calm down the babies.
*Delphi meanwhile isn't doing much of anything she is still on the toliet trying to figure out exactly when she went from normal, quiet Cassie to this, what ever this is. Because maybe if she can pinpoint it she can somehow get that feeling of order and correctness back into her life.*
"Delphi.... You know Clair. I talk about her all the time. Remember? She's just the girl I work with now. She offered us a ride home..." he's rehashing. "I told you I wouldn't ever... I wouldn't have anyone else but you in my life, and I meant it. Delphi, believe me- Please-"
Clair takes one of the children, Harmony, and starts to carefully rock and shush, singing softly to sooth the child- after all, she wasn't hired just for her looks.
Not right now Siren so just stop yelling through the door. I've had enough yelling today. I'm going to take a shower and then I'll hopefully feel less like breaking something and maybe then we can talk. But right now I need to not talk to you right this very instant!* Delphi yells back through the door and then turns on the water on high, strips and jumps in just letting the hot water sooth her.*
"Ahhh, umm the babies' mom right?" Clair checks, she is reworking what has been said and gets the feeling that once the babies are quiet she out to head out it seems like this couple has a lot of history to work on, like Delphi is a bit jealous and crazy and maybe Siren hasn't been loyal in the past, she doesn't say any of this of course.
"Yep." Siren says with a smile. "She's not normally like that..." he sighs. "We had an argument this morning, so I guess she's still a little bit upset." He sighs, Picking up Apollo so that he can work on calming two at once.
Clair gets Aria calmed down who seems to be the ring leader of the group. "I'm sure it was just the loud noise which startled them. The were only down a minute or two so they should go right back to sleep." She predicted.
"I adore them." Clair says simply. She smiles at Aria and gently puts her back in her crib after a few minutes. "I really should take off now, and well good luck." She says quietly and a bit at a loss for the right thing to say.
