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.

"Yeah, I guess so. Maybe I'll get lucky and get the opportunity to take a fireball for her, that ought to buy me amnesty on some stupid antics for a while."

"Speaking of fireballs..." Daria leaned a bit closer to Mike, absentmindedly, as she spoke. "Tricity seems like she may have a lot on her plate..maybe too much to deal with Kage right now. We on the other hand, have a lot of time on our hands...."
"Thinking that maybe we should take care of this ourselves, let her have a break?" Mike asked, glancing down at her. "The thought's crossed my mind. I'm kind of split on the idea, really. On one hand, we'd save her the headache of dealing with him, and it'd keep her safe at the mansion in case something goes wrong. On the other hand, we're not in any sort of negotiating position at the school, and we'd have to go through her to get any sort of authority to speak for her, and I'm not so sure she'd give it. And Kage might not like the idea, but frankly I'm not too concerned with that fact." He scooted closer without really thinking about it either. "So I guess I think it's a good idea, but I don't know if Tricity will go for it."

"....Yeah," Daria said sarcastically. "You're not too quick with subtlety are you, Mikey-Mike? I had no intentions of telling Tricity. I mean we go speak with Kage, see what his problem is and jet. No problem."
"Okay... I can go with that... after all, we were never told not to pay him a visit on our own..." Mike had wanted to do this above the board, but the advantages of asking for forgiveness instead of permission were looking appealing as well.
"Well, if we want to go for a better reaction, we might want to wait until morning when showing up unannounced would be more polite. No reason to invite hellfire without reason, I guess."

Daria nodded. "Yeah thats what I was thinking. I'd be mad if some strange kids showed up at my door at mid night. especially when one of them is carrying two large sticks to beat me with." She laughed. "Couldn't you learn a different fighting style..one that required a smaller weapon..like nun-chucks?"
Mike chuckled. "How about I just wear a big jacket and hide them inside it? I mean, if a fight starts, he has big wings, you have claws, I have... yeah, I got nothing."

Daria rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry, am i confused about the way telekenisis works? Because I'm under the impression that you can stop him in his tracks, or make him explode..with your MIND!" she shook her head.
"Well the making him explode part would have been useful last time when he was mopping the floor with us, but yeah, you're pretty spot on with the rest of it." He watched as a car tried passing a stubborn semi, honking its horn. He could tell from the driver's emotions that he was flipping off the semi driver. "Or I suppose I could just leave them and plan on not fighting. Tricity'd probably have our heads if we fought instead of booking it out of there anyway."

Daria shrugged. She wasn't a big fan of authority and it wasn't like what Tricity would do to her really disturbed her. Still, she knew when to pick her battles. And, while battling with Kage wasn't something she wished to do, Daria knew herself well and if the opportunity came up...
"Right. Well with Tricity it's whattever. " she said waving her hand as if to dismiss the thought. "But in Kage's case I feel like his good part is in there somewhere. We may not have to fight him, so to speak, but we may have to defend ourselves."
"And if it comes down to it, we defend ourselves by kicking his ass," Mike agreed. "Whatever's the right thing, I'm up for it... no need to make our lives more difficult without needing to, though."

"Yeah. I have a bad habit of doing that" Daria mumbled. she dismissed that thought too and uncrossed and recrossed her legs, looking over at the water. It sparkled with the reflections of all the city lights.
"So what are we going to say to him?" Mike asked, "I suppose knocking on the door and saying 'Hi, we just wanted to ask you not to burn down our school again' isn't exactly our best course of action."
