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.

Siren sighs, double checking everyone. They're quickly falling asleep again. They'll be up in 30 minutes, looking for food, but for now they're all doing fine.
Sighing, Siren goes to the fold out couch, and sits down to wait for Delphi.
*Delphi exits the bathroom shortly, wearing a big T-shirt and with her wet hair piled up on top of her head. She standing inspecting Siren for a minute and finally says calmly, in a rational voice.* We really need to sit down and talk about some stuff, and we need to do it without ending up yelling at eachother.
*Del crosses the room and sits next to Siren. She takes a deep breath and choosing her words carefully, starts,* I don't think you were actually doing anything but comeing home after the fight we had and finding another woman in the house was a bit of a shock, and then I couldn't read her at all, and you seemed distressed that I was home early. I didn't handel the situation well and I shouldn't have doubted you. *Delphi says quite reasonably. And then she stops and waits to hear what Siren has to say.*
"I was shocked. I like to have the kids fed and at least two naps so they're not too much stress for you when you get home." He explains gently. "Especially after this morning, I wanted... things to be nice for you." He smiles apologetically. "I feel guilty a lot Delphi. You're..." he makes a face, at having to admit this, "You're younger than me by a fairly significant amount. And I feel like I've forced you to grow up faster than you would have... on your own." He shakes his head. "I just... I feel- Well I want to make sure you're happy all the time, so that you don't ever regret- this" He gestures to the apartment, indicating their life together.
Siren . . . somedays I'll regret what happened, but I'd always wonder about the possibilities other wise. Ok none of this is remotly in the order I planned. I always figured college, job, love, marriage, house, kid, and then maybe more. This, what we have, really isn't that bad. I love you and I love our kids and things will be rough but I am very happy. As for the age thing, you learn to stop getting older, cause I'm not getting older any fast than I have to. *Delphi finishes on a light note.*
Once again beautiful posting guys, very dramatic and definatly very unique so far on the forum. I hope you guys have no intention of slowing down with this stuff. Another point for each of you. So far you both have two extra points. I need to know where they go though.
Oh there was an iccident in my anatomy class, our cadavar was a mutant and they haven't approved of work on mutants, hell they aren't even recognizing mutants as possible patients. But I did apply to aide on the autopsy, hopefully I'll get approved. *Delphi explains.*
I really hope so, I'm the top of the class right now and it was orginally my cadavar, but it depends on if they will allow a student to participate. That isn't even the really curious thing. The cause of death was listed as heart faliure, but how would the doctor know that with out opening her up? *Delphi points out curiously, momentarly forgetting this is supposed to be a discussion about their recent problems.*
"Did she have a background of heart problems? Perhaps it was just assumed.... Maybe some sort of medication problems?" He shrugs. "Medicine is your area of expertise. I can't imagine that they wouldn't let you on. I do think, however, that you should go and speak to whomever is performing the autopsy in person, and explain why you should be allowed to help."
That would be the thing to do, but I would be nervous about talking about being a mutant with the head, mostly because I don't want a lot of questions about my powers. *Delphi admits, concerned. She studies hard for her grades because she never wants it implied that she just get's to know the answers ahead of time. And when she does have those moments she studies everything twice as hard to make up for them.*
"Do you have to tell them that you're a mutant? I mean-" He makes a face, "I don't think we should hide who we are, but unless there's some reason to disclose that, and if you're uncomfortable..."
