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.

“Hey, I can be cool enough to go to a party, if that's where you're going. What do I need, a tie-dye shirt and sunglasses?”
Jude adopted his own mock-fatherly tone.
Sebastian shook his head and was about to put his hand on Jude's shoulder, but Jude's shoulder wasn't there anymore. It was heading to the kitchen. Sebastian took a couple of steps to follow him and leaned against the kitchen door frame.
“That's not all. I'm not the only one you kept up all night worrying. Ghost was willing to cross continents and track you backwards through a decade of time in order to make sure you were going to be able to grow up safely. You owe her an apology first thing in the morning.”
Sebastian stepped inside and helped himself to a glass of water as well.
“One more thing. Since you are almost an adult, I'll let you decide for yourself what punishment would be most appropriate for sneaking out. You can think on it while you sleep and let me know in the morning.”
Ugh. He was not even going to dignify the tie dye comment with more than a glare. Surely Sebastian knew better.
As for his own punishment? Jude both liked and disliked this idea. On one hand, he was an adult. A hangover should be punishment enough. At least, Jude knew he wasn't going to both drinking until he bulked up his muscle some… The boy slurped down a full glass of water and waited for Sebastian to finish without the tap before he filled up a second.
"I will apologize." But he didn't sound happy about it. "As for punishing, I should gain at least… 10 pound of muscle. Zat will help me metabolizse alcohol." He nodded. Yes. That should do. Ten pounds of muscle was not an easy goal… errr punishment when he only weighed 80 something pounds to begin with. He had even been honest about his reasoning for wanting more muscle, well, beyond the obvious fact that it would make him even more dashing and even more able to rescue damsels.
Sebastian should be quite pleased with his decision.

Sebastian shook his head. The boy didn't realize how childish his own response sounded. Clearly he hadn't mentally matured as far as he thought he had. Though, if Sebastian was eleven, he probably would have chosen something similar. Maybe he just needed a little help.
“Alright,” he nodded, “and until such a time as you gain your ten pounds of muscle, you can stay in the mansion either studying, doing chores, or training your body. If you need to leave the mansion building for any reason, it will be under adult escort until such a time as you have proven yourself to be both mature in mind and strong in body and capable of fending for yourself.”
That seemed a bit more fitting of a punishment from an adult's perspective.
Heh heh! Sucker. Jude quickly sipped some water to cover his glee at Sebastian's acceptance of his "punishment." He must not look too happy or the man would think that he had gotten off too easy.
"Yes. In the Mansion I will gain ten pounds. Yes." Mhmm. Suckered. Sebastian was eating out of the palm of his hand. Jude poured out the last of his water and put the cup away. While Sebastian was watching he was going to be the model citizen of Muscle-pump-ia.
And hadn't Jude been trying to go to bed ever since Sebastian had stopped him? "Of course. Good Morning to you. I hope you rest well." He stuffed his hands into his pockets and tried not to whistle on his way up the stairs.
Proving himself to be capable in mind and body was going to be an absolute breeze once he had muscles the size of Thanksgiving turkeys. He could just imagine it now...
