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.

In the middle of the day, on a rooftop across from the bank, The Archer stands atop the rooftop surronded by a small family of mutants. Spell Caster, who he has seen before, is apparently a mutant who can control minds. The mother, Weather Caster, who...well you can guess, can controll weather. And then Robert Caster, the father, a strongman.
"He knows to stay back here, and protect you two, right?" Robert asks, regarding The Archer. He looks the drone up and down, sizing him up.
"He'll do fine, dad." Spell chimes in, looking him over as well. She gives her father a reassuring nod, to which he nods back.
"Darrel will be down their with the police, I know you'll be able to sense which one his is, so make sure our dummy can, too." Robert says to Spell. He checks his watch, and then sighs. He walks over to the edge of the building, and goes down a ladder.
Spell looks to her mother, and asks "Can I keep him? I mean, I saw him without his mask...kinda cute." She nods to The Archer, smiling and blushing slightly.
"We'll see. From the looks of it, maybe I'll have to ground you and take away your toy for a while..." Weather says, taking an appreciative look at The Archer. "Make sure you give his arrows a little more control during my storm." She advises her daughter, as Robert is seen across the street walking into the bank. Within just a few minutes, there's a few gunshots, an alarm is blazing, and sirens are head coming toward the bank. This is Weather's cue to start up a storm, and almost instantly it's raining and the wind is blowing considerably. The police are now at the bank, getting out of their cars. "Protect us as you fire on them!" Weather says, her arms reached out into the sky, controlling it.
The Archer does as he is told, firing down at the police, as well as any innconet he can easily hit, as well as protecting the mother and daughter.
*Nothing attracts Ella like sirens and yelling. She is drawn like moths to a flame and thank to the confusion and her reflexes she easily slips into the middle of things. She easily notices the arrows taking out cops and follows them to their source* . . . the Archer!? *She says shocked as she stands up gaping at what she can only assume is a good guy gone bad, she smiles at this a bit and even claps.* Lovely!

The Archer doesn't notice Ella untill he gets break from firing, and he looks down at the street. He sees more police officers coming towrd the bank, and raises his bow again. He lowers it, a slight smile on his face as he reaches for his belt. He grabs a small round object, and throws it in the area of a police car. No more than two seconds later, the object explodes and sends the car into the air with flames. He raises his bow, not noticing the cops about to surrond Ella.
*Ella is very amused by this whole situation, and more than a little bit in her own world. She is muttering to her self in italian and doesn't notice the cops either.*
The cops have definatly now noticed the crazy chick in the middle of the bank robbery but they misinterpt her comfort with the situation to mean she is part of the problem and one of then is yelling at her. "Get down and put down any weapons you have on your self, lady get down now!"

The Archer hears this, and his attention goes to Ella. Oooh. Bad move. The next thing he hears is a gunshot, and hears Spell fall behind. She was hit in the head, and doesn't move. A wave of confusion hits The Archer before he hears another gunshot, this time from one of the officers aiming at Ella. He quickly raises his bow and lets arrows fly loose at the officers.
*Ella heards the gun shots but it doesn't actually register what it means until the second one triggers and awful lot of pain in her right upper arm . . . Ella pauses and look at her arm. Wow is she suddenly pissed and in pain.*

The Archer easily disposes of all of the officers, most of them with arrows in their chests, going all the way through, some of them with arrows in their heads. He jumps down from the rooftop to the fire escape, and then to his moter cycle. The last few hours are a blur to him, but he knows his bike was parked there. He practically jumps onto it, and starts it up, heading right for Ella and stopping beside her. "Get on."
*Ella is still a little stunned and not exactly trusting of Archer, at the sametime she in a lot of pain and is feeling a little light headed.* What-? *She practically growls at him.*
Wait how do you know my name and I'm going anywhere with you . . . *Ella tells him, but she is getting a little shakey and would easily be pulled onto the motorcycle.*

With one hand, The Archer grabs Ella and sits her in front of him on the motercycle. He revs the engine, speeding off in the opposite direction of the cop cars. There isn't much of a a chase, as darkness soon falls over the city and The Archer takes all the back streets and alleys he needs to avoid the police.
