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.

>>Umm, thanks. I'm workin' on getting over it. And by workin' I mean punchin' stuff in the DR. Takes my mind off things, blowin' off steam, that kinda deal."
Kate couldn’t help by giggle at Mirror’s distressing techniques. It was silly how much of a boy this girl really was.
>>I mean, I guess somewhere deep I knew she was going to leave. An' I am not even sure it was because of me.
“Don’t say that.” Kate shook her head at Maya for feeling sorry for herself. Did she really think that Twyla would have left for that? She moved across the room and kneeled down placing her hands on Maya’s, “You and I both know that’s not true. Twyla loved you, but you were both very young and it was only a matter of time before things changed. She made a choice that she thought was best for where she was going in life. I can’t imagine it was easy for her to do that to you but sometimes the best thing is not the easiest.”
>>I'm sorry Princess, didn't wanna ruin the mood.
“Trust me you didn’t ruin anything. You are my best friend and I care about you a lot. No matter how much of a good mood I’m in, if you are feeling down I have no problem with you bringing me down with you.” Kate smiled making sure to look Maya in the eye, “And don’t worry you didn’t bring me down at all.”
>>“Don’t say that. You and I both know that’s not true. Twyla loved you, but you were both very young and it was only a matter of time before things changed. She made a choice that she thought was best for where she was going in life. I can’t imagine it was easy for her to do that to you but sometimes the best thing is not the easiest.”
Maya sniffled as Kate talked to her. She was talking sense. Maya did not like it when people were talking sense. Sulking in self-pity always felt so much better. Still, she knew Kate was right. That did not make things any easier.
"Well I am still young" she said with a small smile.
>>“Trust me you didn’t ruin anything. You are my best friend and I care about you a lot. No matter how much of a good mood I’m in, if you are feeling down I have no problem with you bringing me down with you. And don’t worry you didn’t bring me down at all.”
"All right" she sniffled again, and wiped her eyes. She was not crying. She was not. "Thanks Princess. Ya really are a good friend." Giving a hug to the fire spirit, she realized she actually felt a little bit better now. "Really. Thank you."
>>All right. Thanks Princess. Ya really are a good friend. Really. Thank you.
“Hmmm.” Kate stood up and took her phone out of her back pocket. They had talked about this enough as far as she was concerned and it was time that they did something about it. She went into her texts and pulled up David. Her hands glided across the ‘keys’ like a well seasoned pro, one of the many talents she had picked up while she was in Roma.
She turned back to Maya only seconds later with a more then mischievous smile on her face, “I think we have had quite enough of this and you need a rather large distraction,” She moved across the room, taking Maya’s hand and pulling her out of the chair and towards the door, “I am going to take you out for a bit and make you forget. Even if it is only for a few hours.”
>>"I think we have had quite enough of this and you need a rather large distraction. I am going to take you out for a bit and make you forget. Even if it is only for a few hours.”
Maya blinked. On the one had, it was a good idea, probably the same as she would have done if it were the other way around. On the other hand, she really was not sure she wanted this right now... even if kate was being so kind and wonderful.
"Umm... rain check?" she asked, smiling a small smile "I am sorry, Kate, I don't think... I'd just like to stay in." she rubbed her eyes "I'll go with you later, okay? I promise."
She knew Kate would udnerstand. She was good at that.
"So... how about we make popcorn and watch a movie?"
In or out, does not matter. As long as you are with a friend.
