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.

"I hadn't thought of that. I'm a very spontaneous person, I've come to realize. I don't think nearly as much as I should." She laughed. "I kinda just let life take me where it will. But I just want to know why he attacked me and Dia in the first place. I mean, we were just trying to help who lit a match under his tail?"
"I'm sure we'll figure it out when the time comes. There's definitely something to be said about letting the moment take you," Mike grinned. "For example, randomly ending up on the top of a bridge... keeps life exciting."
It really was a rather difficult job. He stood at the edge of the bridge, the water beneath him, and stretched out his mind. The fall wasn't the hard part, it was the "not getting noticed" part that was hard. He stretched out his mind, projecting an aura of apathy around him. As soon as he was satisfied that it was sufficiently projected to keep people from noticing, he jumped off the bridge toward the water below.

Daria could feel the feeling of apathy pass through her mind too, but she didn't understand exactly what had happened.
"Mike!" she screamed and ran to the edge of the bridge. Her body shook with laughter as she watched him fall. She had half a mind to jump after him but she couldn't save herself quite as well and she didn't have the most confidence in her powers. So she just looked down; her tail swaying in anticipation
"You were concerned... I'm touched." THe voice was from behind her.
He'd made sure to line up with one of the support columns, so the chances of a car seeing him were low to begin with, and with his psychic manipulation, even if they did see him it wouldn't register in their minds. He kept the apathy going while he flew under the bridge and up the other side, once again pressing close to the support columns, dropping the field once he was safely on top of the bridge again.

Daria screamed, teetering to the point where she almost fell off the bridge herself.
She regained her balance by jumping up and landing again, on her feet as usual. Flattening her ears against her head and cracking her tail like a whip she glared at him. Then she smiled and shook her head.
"You're so...." she rolled her eyes "I don't even have words" she laughed.
"No words?" Mike asked, walking back over to her, "None? I jump off a bridge and there aren't words?" He was smirking slightly, obviously still on an adrenaline high from the jump.

Daria smiled. "There are words but I've tired to keep things PG since I restarted my life." she joked. "So my usual words are inappropriate." She looked out over the water.
"We should head back before I get too tired to teleport us. And I'm gonna need to rest if anything is gonna pop off tomorrow." she held out her hand. "Are you ready to go?"
Mike took her hand, looking once more back over the water. "Sleep probably is a good idea," he admitted reluctantly. "Just... put us back somewhere other than the tree," he teased quietly, bracing himself for the trip back.
