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.

What were the odds of two mutants sharing the same power? She didn't know. Maybe twins did that? But it didn't seem likely. Then again... similar DNA. It was definitely weird.
"Did you find anything?" She looked to Maya, folding a couple of shirts under her arm.
"Yeah" Maya had a few shirts on her own. And a few tank tops. She liked dressing comfortably. And not all of them had superheroes on the front...
"I usually need someone to drag me out to shop. I'm too lazy on my own." she admitted with a smirk as they walked across the store to the changing rooms.
>>"I usually need someone to drag me out to shop. I'm too lazy on my own."
"Guess you lucked out today, then." Amelia smirked.
They reached the rooms. "Well," she said. "See you in a minute." Then, Amelia vanished into the room to change.
This is weird... Amelia thought, as she pulled the blue and red S shirt over her head. I keep getting this feeling like I'm talking to Gawain... Even if it was Maya. Maybe it was the mannerisms, how they spoke. How they reacted to things. Gawain probably would have eyerolled at the Warm Subject store, too. They shared powers. Shared similar DNA. Shared mannerisms. And of course, there were other things. It definitely gave her weird vibes.
Maya put on a random top. It looked kind of nice. She heard Ami walk out of the other changing room. walking into the mirror and poking her head out on the other side, she chuckled.
"Hey. In here."
Because that was just so much easier.
"Looks nice from here, by the way" she noted before Ami turned around.
That pretty much cemented it. Yup. Gawain was a liar. And he turned into a girl. What? Was it a 50/50 deal? Because seriously, she recalled him not calling her the day after meeting her, and waiting till the day after she'd bugged Maya in his room. And today, the day after Gawain had visited her, here Maya was, looking at her backside and saying the view was nice.
What? Was there any other way to interpret that comment? Unless Maya was just a blatant lesbian. But that wasn't as likely as Mirror having another deep dark secret he'd almost hidden from her.
Yup. She'd have to put her theory up to a litmus test soon.
Amelia turned, and smiled at Maya. "Your top is nice, too." She said.
There was a look. A strange look, just a split second after Ami turned, and a split second before Ami answered. It was a look that made Maya worry. It was a smart, sharp look that said 'aha'. Dang.
"You think?" she smirked, stepping out of the mirror "I think I like it too. But I've got a bunch of thers to try on before I decide. Are you buying this one?"
"Not sure. I should probably try on my others, too." And, since they were all girls here (right). "Hold on." Amelia pulled off one shirt and slipped on another.
This shirt was blue and had a happy panda face on it. It was awesome. So ironic.
Maya blinked, frozen to the spot as she watched Ami change. Just girls, right? Well, damn. The minx was playing her. It started to dawn on Maya that she might actually be in more trouble than she thought. Or less. There was no way of telling. Damn.
"Um. Nice panda?" she muttered, hoping the blush felt worse than it looked.
"Really?" Amelia grinned. "You think Gawain will like it?" By the way Maya was hiding a blush, she assumed 'yes'. Or maybe it was just because of her little stunt.
"You should try on your next one, too." The girl insisted.
"Yeah" Maya nodded, a bit distracted "He'll like it. It's cute. He likes cute."
He likes you.
>>"You should try on your next one, too."
"Umm... yeah, sure." another nod. There was no graceful way out of this one. Maya was not shy. Maya was badass. And she was a girl. Girls are not shy in front of each other. Right? Dammit.
Pulling off the shirt, she exchanged it with a tank top. Thank god it fit.
So, technically, if her theory was correct... that there had been a shirtless Gawain for a second. Or at least, one side of him. The side that was girl half the time.
Interesting.
Maya was definitely pretty. She was confident enough about herself to be able to state such a thing.
And Maya was a part of Gawain, so... if she REALLY liked Gawain, then... it'd just be wrong to hold one side of him in a different light than the other. ... Which was a weird thought.
She'd have to think on that.
For now, all she had to do was play everything casual (like she was currently doing).
"Yeah," she held her chin, taking in tank top Maya. "The guys will definitely love that."
There was no way she was getting out of that one right. Agree, and it just becomes more weird, if Ami was really on to her. Gender shifting is one thing, switching guys and girls is another. Disagree, and it just gets more awkward and more suspicious. Dammit.
