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.

Well. Maybe it wasn't so much COOL as fine. Okay. It was okay. There was nothing wrong with it.
Had her mind just gone a bit blank there in shock? Yeah. And had it shown on her face? Probably.
But... but WAIT A MINUTE! Think, Ami, think! What if it's still Gawain? Then of COURSE he'd be a lesbian. Because men don't usually like men. And if he were mainly male, then as a female, he'd be into girls. This, of course, made a a lot more sense than Maya simply being a-- wait. Was Maya leaving while she was running through all of this in her head? Frick!
"I just meant... don't go. Before letting me clear something up?" Fail. So epic fail. She didn't know what to say. "Don't freak out about the whole 'lesbian thing'. About me getting upset about it." She said. "Because. I'm cool with it. I mean, I'm not, but. I've got friends who are. In fact, a good family friend of mine is, and..." And what? "I don't want you to feel like you did something horrendously wrong here. Okay?"

There it went. Yup. Maya winced at the whole thing in general. Who was she to think it would be any different this time? Nice teenage girls liked nice teenage boys. As it was supposed to happen. They did not deserve other teenage girls that came with the package. That was just not fair.
"Believe me" she sighed "I am already doin' something horrendously wrong here."
Hey. That was a confession. If that wasn't a confession, then what the hell was she thinking?
So lame. If this was Gawain's way of coming out to her. So lame. Putting her on the spot. Not really revealing it all in so many words. It being obvious, but there still being this huge chance it was actually easily explainable by some other means.
If Maya was actually Gawain's sister, then this was just a surefire way to make things awkward with a friend. But if Maya was actually Gawain (and seriously, on and off depending on the day, Maya wanting to boot Ami out so vehemently when she was there on a Maya day, Maya not knocking, just like Gawain, all the other signs)...
"Frick." Amelia swore. Then, she took a chance. "Gawain?" She looked at Maya seriously.
She did not expect that. It was strangely déja vu, in a way, but it was also very, very Ami. And damn sweet.
Maya gave in, framing Ami's face with her hands, and kissed back. Because that's what you do when you really have nothing else to lose. There was a countdown going on somewhere in the back of her head until reality will crash on them, but it was not quite at zero yet.
She'd known. She'd figured it out. And now? She had to deal with the entire business on the other end of her kiss. Not that she was stopping the experiment yet to deal with that business, yet...
Well... they'd have to come up for air, some time.
"I know," she caught her breath. "Sucks. But. Hey. You're still Gawain. And haven't you heard?" Her arms were on his/her shoulders. She leaned back a little, still holding on for balance. "I'm dating Gawain. So I guess we're good."
Yeah. That was her logic. In practice, she wasn't a lesbian. In theory, she didn't have to be. But in application? Heck. If she liked Gawain, she could deal with the entire package.
"Also. Think I have to mention this." She pouted, still leaning away. "Maya is probably prettier than me."
