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.

Emerald ran down the streets of new York city, eyes darting from her instructions she got from Johnny to the road ahead of her. She had already almost got hit by a car once and she didn't give a flying rats A** about it.
She looked up the row of apartments and finally managed to find Apartment number eight. She felt the blood from her wounds beginning to soak through her shotty bandaging and growled at herself.
The wolf girl knocked on the door furiously. "Johnny! Open the door please!" Emerald yelled with an urgency and desperation in her tone that she never used with anyone.
The door flew open, revealing Johnny standing, looking panicked, in his shorts with no shirt on, hair wet like he'd just gotten out of the shower. A quick glance at the room showed it to be a studio apartment, furnished modestly but with furniture that was clean and in decent shape, even if it all looked rather cheap.
"Emmy? What's wrong?" he asked, hurrying her inside and closing the door behind her.
Emerald didnt even care the fact that Johnny didnt have a shirt on she threw her arms around him in a hug. She was still trying to convince herself that he wasnt gonna die...like in her dream but her mind made her not seem so sure. She remembered when she watched helplessly as Johnny was being pulled beneath the corpses afer trying to save her and shuddered.
Johnny hugged Emmy tight as he ushered her over to the futon that was functioning as both a bed and a sofa... currently acting as a sofa. "Easy," he cooed, smoothing her hair as he saw in her mind what was wrong. "It was a dream, babe, just a dream..."
"It felt so real," Emerald panted looking up at Johnny with scared eyes. Her tail droped between her legs as she lifted up her shirt enough for him to see the long fang slash marks that streched across her pale white stomach. They where still bleeding but the Where ten precent better that when she woke up.
"I want to believe its not real buts its hard not to."
"Oh my..." Johnny winced, then moved over to a cabinet and pulled out a first aid kit. He gently started to clean the slashes with a hand that suggested he'd had to do this to himself quite a few times. "Did you do this in your sleep? Or did it... just happen?" he asked tentatively, cleaning with a light touch.
"It just happened...Bloodfang slashed me in my dream and when I woke up I found them." Emerald said softly, looking at the cut through fearfull eyes. The memory of Bloodfang attacking her 2 years ago fresh in her mind and it was more of a lustfull attack than one of anger.
"I might have done it in my sleep...." Emerald said wearilly, very unsure
"No Im fine!" Emerald exclaimed, in truth she was terrified of any type of doctor. She didnt like any doctor, the only one she wasnt as afraid of was Doc but he still gave her the willys.
Johnny nodded, then started using silk tape to tape bandages tightly onto her wounds. He lingered a moment after he'd finished, running his fingers lightly over them, from the bare flesh above them, over the bandages, and over the flesh below them. He knew that, in all likelihood, she'd clawed herself while she slept, unless these people that had hurt her had even more incredible powers, but all the same it enraged him. She was beautiful... near perfect, as far as his teenage mind was concerned... and anyone who would dare mar that perfection, even temporarily like this, was guilty of a crime against nature.
Still, he pushed it out of his mind and sat up next to her, pulling her close again. "If you don't want to talk about it, I understand..."
Emerald felt very safe when Johnny pulled her closer to him. She laid her head on his shoulder trying to relax as much as possible. "Where do you want me to start?" She asked, looking up at him Lovingily
Emerald smiled gently up at Johnny before beginning, "Well two years ago when I was back at the lab a guy around my age named Eric was dragged in, but he was better known as Bloodfang. He was a half wolf but he was one who allowed himself to allow the wolf to control him more than anything else. Once every few years the scientists make the mutants fight one another and bet on the 'willing competitors.' Bloodfang and I had not lost a fight yet so in the finals of this sick tournment Bloodfang and I fought against one another." Emerald paused before continuing.
"We Where relatively even but Bloodfang had somehow managed to gain the upper hand and managed to get me into my normal form instead of my wolf. I was exhausted and when he managed to reactivate the power dampening collar i knew I was in trouble. He pinned me down and tried to.....mate with me but he didn't succeed. I have been scared of him ever since, when I saw him in my dream I was terrified and it didnt help the fact I had just watched you die when he tried it again before I was pulled beneath the corpses of my 'prey'"
Emerald made sure she was as close to Johnny as possible because in truth she was afraid that Bloodfang had survived the torcher they had put him through and was comming to finish what he started.
Emerald felt the rage in Johnny and the wolf girl gently kissed him on the cheek in an attempt to calm him down. "Alright you can help me kill him...just for now keep me safe from any bad dreams." Emerald said, big blue eyes filled with a pleading look.
