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.

Leaning up, "No its ok Deja." He put his hand on her cheek, "There's something I need to show you." He then pulled of his shirt to reveal the large, black tattoo of the June Zodiac symbol Gemini on his chest. Then he earked out the three words that he never thought he'd have to tell her. "Im a mutant."
Deja looked in shock. He had never told her this before. After a few seconds,she spoke. "Wow..thats a announcement. She then remembered thats the twin sign. "So..I guess,you have a twin." Deja was still calculating what was happeneing. "Your a mutant!" Deja took a breath.
Josh was thankful that he had finally gotten being a mutant off his chest to her, but shocked at the same time to find out that Deja is a mutant also. "You are.....*his state of shock wore off and now turned into joy*......thats great." Josh hugged her tightly. "It's good to not be alone in this." And then remembering her previous question he laughed. "Haha no but close. You wanna see?" He used his power and made a copy of himself. "Is he as cute as the original?"
All she could do was smile. "Thats so awesome!" Deja was in excitement. then she thought about her power. "Too bad, I can't show you mine. I don't really understand it. It's so..weird." Deja then tried to change the subject. "So.. lets get something to drink, I'm famished.'' deja then looked at him.
Josh absorbed his clone and then smiled. "Sure i could use a drink." But then he remember the kiss. He had almost forgotten after coming to terms with Deja about his powers. "Hey Deja. That kiss.....did you mean it?"
Deja looked at him. "Umm...No, it was just in the moment." Deja was lying but comeon, they only saw each other basically once a year, it would'nt work. Even though she wanted it to.
Josh felt his heart drop into his gut, but covered it up so as not to upset her. "Yea I figured that was what it was..........*his eyes dropped to the floor for a second but then came back to deja*, "Well how about that drink?" He stood up and started looking for the shirt he took off.
Deja noticed how he looked. It tore her up inside. She held back a tear and smiled. "So..yeah, that drank!" Deja then put her arm on his shoulder before heading down to the kitchen. She then waited for him to come down. She began taking a deep breath. She began saying something to herself. "Deja,you did the right thing.''
"Yea I'll just be a second." After finding his shirt he looked at himself in his mirror for a second. 'Should I say something to her. Should I take a chance at messing up our friendship.........no she's not interested in me and that's it', he thought. After composing himself, he began walking down stairs. When he saw her at the the bottom of the stairs, he walked over to her and kissed her on her forehead. Then he whispered into her ear, "I will always love you. No matter what."
As Deja waited for him, he came down and kissed her on the forehead whispering the words that made her heart sink.
"I will always love you. No matter what." Deja looked at him, and went up to him. She then started kissing him on the lips. She didn't want to let go but in the back of her head was always that worry. As she quickly looked at him, she was in shock. "Do you mean that?" Deja was veery confused, what about their friendship? Everything was going so fast.
He stared into her eyes. He wished he could pause this moment and stay sinking into her eyes. "Yea.........I do." He didnt want to make her feel uncomfortable but he had to ask. "What about you?"
Deja took a deep breath. She didn't know what to say. "I really don't know. I mean were friends and the distance. I think we should just be strictly platonic. But I do care for you,alot!" Deja then heard his mom. "Deja, can you help me with my necklace!" Deja then looked at Josh. "Yeah,I'm coming!" Deja then made her way to Josh's mom room. She was still shooken up about what had taken place.
As Deja walked away, Josh wondered if he did the right thing. 'Maybe I came on too strong. I dont know. I need to clear my head.' Josh walked out of the house without telling his mom or Deja. Normally he would have let them no but he was'nt thinking clearly. Nothing seemed to be going his way.
Deja finished helping his mom, and made her way to the kitchen. She looked around,not noticing Josh anywhere. She really didn't know how things suddenly changed between them. It was so fast and so quick. Did she make the right decision. That kept going through her mind. For now, she just sat at the counter, and put her head down as tears came through her eyes.
Josh had gotten halfway down his driveway before realizing how stupid and immature he was acting. I mean yes he wanted to be with Deja but he damn sure wasnt gonna let it get in the way of their friendship. As hard as this would be for him, he would just have to bite his tongue and go back in there. Upon the house, he heard crying coming from the kitchen. After walking into the kitchen, he found Deja crying. Crushed, he ran over to her. picking her up and cradled her in his arms. "I'm sorry."
