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.

"Nope." Maya chuckled. So, lewd huh. At least now she was free to live up to those expectations.
>>“Most certainly not my butler. That would be… well… disgusting.”
All right, now they were getting somewhere. Not butler, that was good. Still could be some Platonic crap, but Maya was still hoping the story would reach a more interesting ending.
>>“... Next thing we knew Hanna had come back and both of us hasn’t moved. I think I spent every day he was in the city, and not doing something work related, with him. So like I said, not my butler.”
"All right, we have established that" Maya agreed "Now, give me some details. Age, work, looks, the whole deal. Go."
Because friends needed to know those kind of things. Mostly to be able to be jealous, but also, to make sure their friends did not go out with someone who did not deserve them. In Kate's case, that was most of the males on the planet, so whoever this not-butler was, he'd better be a damn good catch...
>>All right, we have established that. Now, give me some details. Age, work, looks, the whole deal. Go.
“Well he is the definition of tall, dark and handsome.” Kate bit her lip as she thought about the man she had left behind, “He’s a complete French gentlemen with all the trimmings.” Kate sighed dreamily as she thought about him smiling at her from across a room and kind of got lost in her own head. He had been the best escape she had ever had and if she did go back to Italy he would be the reason why. He was caring and gentile and kind and for some unknown reason to her he loved her. A man too perfect to describe loved her and she couldn’t be more happy about it.
>>“Well he is the definition of tall, dark and handsome. He’s a complete French gentlemen with all the trimmings.”
Oh, that was deifinitely too good to be true. Much too good. Maya smirked as she watched Kate daydream; she really liked that guy. Which instantly put him on Maya's bad side.
"So... where exactly is this perfect gentleman now? Did you bring him home with ya?"
Which, 'home' being the mansion, instantly raised another more important question.
"Wait. Is he a mutant?"
You had to be a mutant to be a french gentleman. Naturally.
>>So... where exactly is this perfect gentleman now? Did you bring him home with ya?
Kate looked at Maya with a smile as she came out of her daydream, “No I did not bring him with me. He is a very busy man and he didn’t have to come and help me with my mutation. I mean he asked to come, but I told him to stay. I have no idea how long it will take for all of this to be over and I don’t want him to be gone that long.” Kate remembered the horrible fight they had had over him practically insisting that she should let him come and make sure she was alright and in all truth she didn’t want him there for more reasons then just his work. Coming back here was something she had to do on her own, with no one to hide behind. She had to face the people she had wronged and make it better.
>>Wait. Is he a mutant?
“No, he is 100 percent human.” Kate giggled at the silly question. So few of the world was mutants that it was funny to think that the boy she found in a city as big as Rome would be one as well. Unlike in New York City, there are not really any mutant organizations and even if there were they were not quite as public.
>> “No I did not bring him with me. He is a very busy man and he didn’t have to come and help me with my mutation. I mean he asked to come, but I told him to stay. I have no idea how long it will take for all of this to be over and I don’t want him to be gone that long.”
"Aham" Maya nodded again. Still too good to be true. She knew that no matter what Kate was going to say about the guy, it will be used against him at the first opportunity. It wasn't entirely fair, but that's what friends are for.
>>“No, he is 100 percent human.”
"Oh" that was a surprise. In her experience, few humans were that understanding about mutations, especially when it came to Kate's, with all the fire. "But he... doesn't mind, does he."
He'd better not.
"Soo. You are back" she noted carefully "Are you going to stay? Or go back to... wherever he is?"
It was a serious question. Maya didn't really want to lose a friend just yet.
“It was odd for him at first,” Kate had been expecting this the second Maya had asked whether he was a mutant or not, “I mean when I first told him he said he needed time and I gave it him gladly. I had actually almost given up on him before he called back a week later. It took him a bit of getting used to after that, but once I explained it was easier. We were actually moving forward when I had to leave. I have a feeling that is part of why he wouldn’t let go of the idea of not coming with me.”
>>Soo. You are back. Are you going to stay? Or go back to... wherever he is?
Kate could hear the difference in the way Maya spoke. She sounded worried about the answer, “That’s a complicated question. Part of me wasn’t ready to come back, but now that I am here I don’t’ know if I will stay when all this is over. First thing I need to do is fix my mutation and my relationships with all the people I left behind. Only then can I decide what will happen next.” Kate smiled kindly at her friend, “I promise I will stay for however long you need me, though.” She hadn’t forgotten about Maya’s mother even for a second. She had told her she would be there and had accidentally broken that promise.
>>“It was odd for him at first, I mean when I first told him he said he needed time and I gave it him gladly. I had actually almost given up on him before he called back a week later. It took him a bit of getting used to after that, but once I explained it was easier. We were actually moving forward when I had to leave. I have a feeling that is part of why he wouldn’t let go of the idea of not coming with me.”
Odd was a good word. When humans dated mutants, that was a least one had to expect. Kate was not lucky enough to be able to hide her mutation; she was too warm to the touch, warm enough to make anyone conclude she was horribly ill, or a mutant, or a werewolf.
"Moving from where to where?" she mused with a small smirk.
She told her she was going to stay, and fix relationships. As far as Maya was concerned, there was nothing to fix; she was a guy when it came to these kind of situations, a nod or a word and it was all fixed, no need to talk about it for the whole night. Drinks were always a great apology too.
>>“I promise I will stay for however long you need me, though.”
"It's okay" she shook her head with a small smile "I'm fine. Really."
>>Moving from where to where?" she mused with a small smirk.
Kate just rolled her eyes and threw a pillow from the bed at Maya’s face an action that made her break off into a much needed bought of laughter before returning to the serious.
>>It's okay. I'm fine. Really.
At this Kate just raised an eyebrow. Maya may not have shown it in her face or her speech but Kate had said she was fine exactly like that so many time that she knew things weren’t just fine. But no matter how much she wanted to make them so she had to watch as to not upset the girl before her.
“I just want you to know that no matter what is wrong with me if you need me for anything at all, even if it’s just sitting in silence for hours, I’ll be there at a moment’s notice. All you have to do is ask. I mean, I know I left you after I said I would be here and I’m sorry for that. In all honesty it is probably the one thing I regret about all of this.” Kate looked away from Maya’s eyes and pulled her knees into herself. The one problem with Maya over everyone else that Kate had left behind was that she was in Kate’s heart. She wasn’t only just a friend to Kate. Whether she knew it or not she was a part of Kate. The first person to befriend her and the first person she connected with. So much so that she was ashamed at letting Maya down, “I mean…. I just… I’m sorry. I can’t go back and change it, whether part of me wants to or not. All I can really say is sorry.”
>>“I just want you to know that no matter what is wrong with me if you need me for anything at all, even if it’s just sitting in silence for hours, I’ll be there at a moment’s notice. All you have to do is ask. I mean, I know I left you after I said I would be here and I’m sorry for that. In all honesty it is probably the one thing I regret about all of this... I mean…. I just… I’m sorry. I can’t go back and change it, whether part of me wants to or not. All I can really say is sorry.”
Maya smiled a bit at Kate. She had a lot of friends, but none of them offered to comfort her; mostly because she never looked like she needed comforting. After Twyla left, she mostly spent her time in the Danger Room punching stuff, or getting beaten up by other trainees. So far, only Twy's close firends knew what happened.
"Thank you, Princess" she smiled, after she ducked out of the way anf the pillow hit the wall "I really appreciate it. And don't worry. Really. I can deal with that stuff on my own, and, to tell the truth... I'm more comfortable with you not being caught up in it right now. So what you can do is just, stay safe. I really am fine."
>>Thank you, Princess. I really appreciate it. And don't worry. Really. I can deal with that stuff on my own, and, to tell the truth... I'm more comfortable with you not being caught up in it right now. So what you can do is just, stay safe. I really am fine.
"Wow no one's called me princess in ages." Kate smiled knowing that she would find out in time, even if that meant eventually forcing out of the mirror walker.
“So how is everything within your world. Other then the obvious that is.” Kate rose from the bed and started to look around the room, “How is that adorable dog of yours?” It seemed the beast in question wasn't in the room at the moment. She paused, stopping her search only long enough to turn to Mirror and smirk at her before speaking, “And better yet how is Twyla?” In a last stitch effort in her search she looked under the messy bed to find the puppy in question squished into a space almost too small for her.
Kate reached her hand under and brushed the dogs snout. A act which caused her to have to lay completely on the floor just to reach the dog.
"Your guy should" Maya chuckled. She liked nicknames. And even though Kate repeatedly reminded her that she was not royalty, the name was just too comfortable to lose.
>>“So how is everything within your world. Other then the obvious that is. How is that adorable dog of yours?”
Maya blinked.
"She's.... um... around?"
For such a huge beast that Angua was, she could get lost in a dorm room quite easily. Go figure. She was not the liveliest of dogs, but then again, big hounds rarely are. Kate finally found her, under the bed. Maybe she was looking for food there. She had good chances finding food. Or maybe she was just looking for shelter from the summer heat.
"Has she gotten herself lodged in again?" Maya grinned as Kate lay down on the floor "She keeps growin' like that, one day she'll just walk away with my bed on her back."
>>“And better yet how is Twyla?”
Damn. Maya winced at the question. She was hoping it would never come, or that she could avoid it somehow... but obviously, luck was not on her side.
"Twyla's, umm..." she stood from the chair and glanced around, looking for something to fidget with "Twyla's gone."
>>Has she gotten herself lodged in again? She keeps growin' like that, one day she'll just walk away with my bed on her back.
Kate laughed as her hand finally reached the dog, who tried to move away but was apparently a bit stuck. Luckily for Kate this meant the puppy couldn’t get away and she easily started scratching her head.
“And better yet how is Twyla?”
>>Twyla's, umm...Twyla's gone.
Kate’s expression changed instantaneously as she pushed herself up to look to her friend. She knew full well that Maya cared for Twyla quite a bit. One could even go as far as to say that she loved the cute little blonde. Kate herself had never really spent much time with her but she did seem nice. It was curious that she would leave Maya. Especially at a time like this. Though who was she to talk? She had done the same thing months ago.
Kate pushed herself off of the grown, the dog forgotten under the bed as she walked over to her best friend stopping only inches away from her. Kate looked up at the much taller girl for only a moment before she pulled her into a hug, “I’m so sorry.”
Kate looked shocked. She did not really know Twyla all that well, but she knew how much she meant to Maya. She walked over to her; th mirrorwalker was not quite sure what she was going to say, or do.
Kate hugged her.
She was all warm and comforting, and Maya allowed herself to return the hug. It felt good, that someone finally understood. Not in a heartbreaking, I-am-going-to-cry way, just... nice.
"Thanks" she muttered when she finally pulled back "I... guess I haven't really told anyone yet."
Kate felt Maya’s arms reach around her and hug her back. The hug felt warm and comfortable like it was the safest place in the world at this very moment. She could feel something rush over her as her cheek pressed against her friends chest, something that she hadn’t felt in a long time. It was the tingle she would get in the pit of her stomach every time Gawain would touch her hand or smile at her. It was something that she had started to get with Albee, but for some reason it was different this time. It was different with this person.
Before Kate knew it Maya was pulling away and she started feeling like something was missing, but thankfully the feeling quickly faded.
>>Thanks. I... guess I haven't really told anyone yet.
“I’m glad you were willing to share it with me…And well… if you ever need to talk about it I’m more than willing to listen. I know what it’s like to hold things in until they explode out of you. It is not the best thing you could possibly do in such a situation. So, if you need someone… for anything, don’t be afraid to ask.” Kate smiled up at Maya before rising all the way up on her tip toes and kissing the girl on the cheek. She lingered for only a few seconds before moving back to sit on the bed.
>>“I’m glad you were willing to share it with me…And well… if you ever need to talk about it I’m more than willing to listen. I know what it’s like to hold things in until they explode out of you. It is not the best thing you could possibly do in such a situation. So, if you need someone… for anything, don’t be afraid to ask.”
"Umm, thanks." Maya smiled a bit at the kiss and sat back on the chair. It was nice of Kate to offer, even though Maya really would not ask her for either of the two things she did to get over Twyla. Punching her would not be fair, and as for the other... well, Kate was a friend. That would just be wrong.
"I'm workin' on getting over it" she confessed, pulling her knees up to her chin "And by workin' I mean punchin' stuff in the DR. Takes my mind off things, blowin' off steam, that kinda deal." she was quiet for a while "I mean, I guess somewhere deep I knew she was going to leave. An' I am not even sure it was because of me."
She looked up at Kate.
"I'm sorry Princess, didn't wanna ruin the mood." she added with a small smile.
