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.

“Raven Fire, Nicki, Sentinel, Geo, Dream, Katrina and Fade,” Hunter answered. He’d used the moment of silence to put his armour back on and get back to business. “Everyone else was captured. The Stalker attack simply overwhelmed them.”
He hoped that remembering what had happened to her friends would help convince her than this needed to be done, that the council of the Church of Humanity needed to be killed. But he still wanted to keep the blood off her hands and on his, he could do at least that much.

Of those the only name she recognized was Sentinal. So Nail was okay after all... It was a small relief, but relief nonetheless. Raven Fire and Nicki.... there was a spark of familiarity, but not enough to bring faces to mind.
“Everyone else was captured."
That meant Tricity, Nika, Deathstar, Raina.... so many others.... and Chip? Would they have taken children too?
"The Stalker attack simply overwhelmed them.”
Her hand went to her side. She bit her lip, remembering the rubble that remained of the Mansion. And this 'church' was spearheading it all? All this because they were different? It was hard to believe, but.... Slavery and the Holocaust were recorded history, as was the Inquisition....
"Two conditions," she finally said icily, holding out two fingers and still refusing to look at him. "One, from here on out, no more lies. The instant I even suspect that you're lying to or trying to manipulate me, I'm gone, for good. And two, back off. You want to know where I am, call my cellphone. I'm sure you have that on record along with everything else."
She realized she had no choice now except to work with him. But that didn't mean she had to like it or make it easy for him....
“No more lies,” Hunter promised, “However two might be a little more difficult. For this we’ll need to start soon and be working closely together. The cover that is in place is that you are girlfriend and that we’re looking to join together.”
It was the best cover. They needed to live together for mutual security. If they were separate and their cover compromised one could be attacked and taken before the other could react. Hunter looked close to Paragon’s age, so that the most obvious story and the one that would arouse the least questions was boyfriend and girlfriend. Somehow he felt that Iris would disagree.

"WHAT??!!"
She whirled on her heel. Her expression alternated from disbelief to fury and back again like a movie on fast forward.
"Oh no! No nonono! That's just.... wrong, on so many levels! No WAY!"
And she began pacing again. It seemed to be becoming a habit when she began ranting....
"I can deal with something like brother and sister, since we look alike. Barely," she added quickly. "But there is no way I'm pretending to be your girlfriend!" Ugh, it even felt wrong simply saying it....
“Brother and sister?” Hunter said sceptically, “How many bothers and sisters do you know who live together excluding your foster parents? Especially at your age? Besides, I’ve already spoken to the reverend at the Church. It’ll only be an act, and as there is the high religious aspect to the Church we can legitimately be a reserved couple.”
Her reaction was not unexpected, but it was still something he had to eventually bypass and convince her that it was the right choice. He watched as she paced up and down in her fury, hoping that it would subside.

“Brother and sister? How many bothers and sisters do you know who live together...."
She took a breath and opened her mouth to reply....
"....excluding your foster parents?"
....and let the breath out in a frustrated huff.
"Besides, I’ve already spoken to the reverend at the Church."
"You did wha-"
"It’ll only be an act..."
"But I don't-"
"....and as there is the high religious aspect to the Church we can legitimately be a reserved couple.”
"I can't believe.... there's no way I.... how could you.... they're not going.... I... I.... Grrah!!" She was so furious she couldn't even put a complete sentence together properly. At the last she threw her hands up and stormed into the bathroom, and slammed the door behind her. From under the bed came a soft growl/hiss. Ebony was as about as happy as her mom at that moment. From the speaker on the cellphone came a sound suspiciously like snickering.
Several minutes later Iris returned to the room in a much calmer manner than she'd left in, though the expression on her face was no less upset. She glared at Hunter.
"I'm warning you now, I'm not a good actor." Then she walked stiffly to the closet, and began packing. Every now and then the light would catch a flash of purple from the palm of her right hand.
Hunter watched her reaction followed by the storm off to the bathroom. So he waited patiently for her to come out, unsure of what her verdict would be. When she came back she was noticeably calmer. Paragon would not have simply just calmed unless…
He caught sight of the glinting gem on her palm. That explained it. Still, best not look a gift horse in the mouth. “I have a car waiting,” he said, “We’ll go to the lab, get your wound looked at, have a good nights rest then move in to our new apartment.” He didn’t offer to help her pack. Somehow he felt that it wouldn’t help the situation.

Iris remained silent as she finished packing, loaded up Ebony and checked out, though she did smile pleasantly at the Inn owner. Outside, she bypassed the car Hunter had waiting and went to the van instead.
"I'll follow," she said in a clipped tone and hopped into the driver's seat, leaving no room for argument.
Once on the road, she deactivated the purple gem; if she continued to use it, she'd eventually pass out behind the wheel. And while she was mad enough to throttle someone, she wasn't ready to commit suicide. Unfortunately that meant her anger had plenty of time to perk on the way to the Labs.
Hunter followed Paragon out, offering the owner a pleasant smile as he left. He didn’t argue as Paragon got in the van, and simply got in his car instead. As he drove off towards the lab he hoped that she would calm down before they got there, but some how felt that given time her anger would just get worse.
On the way back he resolved to see Katrina one last time before heading off. It was unlikely that he would see the girl again for a while, as while he could have her come visit him while on the mission, it would be putting her at unnecessary risk.
