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.

Sabrina got out of the car and headed for the door. Reaching the lift she hit the up button and waited for the lift to arrive. Turning to Alex she explained, “The current decor is rather bland, as we didn’t know what style you would like. If you want we could change the interior to better suit you.”
Orders were to make him as comfortable as possible. The apartment itself cost over $10,000 a month, but Hunter wasn’t skimping on anything. Hunter had the building staff paid to keep an eye on him and inform someone whenever he leaves. Alex would be followed wherever he went, as with the money Hunter was going to provide the chances of him escaping would greatly increase.

Alex had watched the City go by through the car windows as they headed to their destination, listening in to the phone conversation that Sabrina was having as he did.
It didn't take long before they arrived at quite an impressive building. The again most of the building in New York were impressive for someone from Northern Ireland. Alex followed Sabrina as she got out, following her into the lobby. He nodded to a few of the building's staff that they passed on the way to the lifts, it they were giving him some odd looks, he was hoping it was just because of the way he was dressed.
With a soft ding the lift doors parted and Alex stepped in, looking at the buttons on the panel of the lift, curious as to what floor he was headed to and what this new place was going to be like.
"It's fine, bland is a lot better than what I've been used to lately."
Sabrina hit the button for the 5th floor and the elevator doors closed. After a few moments they opened again and Sabrina lead him to his apartment. “Here we are, apartment 513.” Taking out the key she opened the door.
Inside was a large spacious living area with some plain couches around a coffee table. At one end of the room was a large plasma screen television. The kitchen was at the other end, all gleaming stainless steel. Through into the bedroom was a double bed with a large en-suite bathroom. Next to the main bedroom was a slightly smaller guest bedroom also with en-suit.
Alex just about managed to keep his mouth closed, hell the only reason he wasn't drooling was by sheer force of will. This place was so cool, it was bigger than any of his previous places, and he was pretty sure you could fit all the rooms of his parents place in here. It must have cost a fortune, a hell of a lot more money than he would have been likely to see in a long time anyway.
He just about registered the comments about the bland decor as he walked around looking at the size of the rooms, the furniture and the great view. Dragging himself back to reality he looks at his host to answer her question.
"Ummm...I think I'll survive"
He grins like a man who's just won the lottery, not even trying to hide his thoughts on this one, he didn't think there was much point and he didn't think he could even if he wanted to.
He just hoped he was the cure to cancer, if he was then they'd take some blood sort things out and he'd just have to sit here and be pampered. If something else was going on though, and this was the payment, well then whatever came next wasbound to be impressive. The question was would it be in a good way?
Sabrina saw the impressed look on his face and new the Hunter’s plan was a winner. Alex had probably never even seen a place like this, let alone lived in one. “So, would you like to visit the lab where we will be running the research? It’s about an hour outside of the city.”
By now Hunter’s order from the Amazon should have arrived, so he was very likely to be at the labs, giving him a chance to meet Alex with minimal disruption to his busy schedule. If Alex chose to decline, then she’d leave him with a car and driver, plus a credit card with a high limit and let him enjoy himself.
Alex wondered if it would be a good time to go and visit the lab and the scientists and doctors it contained, get to see just who he was going to be poked and prodded by. Would be good to get a chance to see what they were like. Then again just being in this place made his feel dirty and he probably smelt like hell.
Raising his left arm to his face he coughs, using the sleeve of his coat as a handkerchief, before using it to wipe the small trace of blood from the side of his mouth, he swallowed the rest. Well that wasn't going to help his image but then again it was a bit late to worry about that now.
He wondered just how much they'd planned for his arrival. Would there be any clothes in this place or would he need to go clothes shopping. Well that would be a fun outing, he wondered how many places he'd get thrown out of before he managed to convince them that he had money to spend.
Trying once again to get his mind to stop wandering he makes a decision.
"Sure, might as well get this out of the way first and then I can try and find my feet."
“I’ll tell them that you’re coming.” She looked him up and down briefly. In what was little more than rags he look completely out of place in the apartment. “There is a change of clothes in the wardrobe, something casual and something smart. I’ll be waiting outside.”
She stepped out into the hall and pulled out her phone. “James, I’m bringing McAllister in, are you ready? Good, remember, he’s not staying for any major tests. Just a hello and maybe a blood sample, but that’s it, understand? Alright, we’ll be there soon.”
