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.

They walked and he watched the road sighs so that he would be able to find his way to Aurum's apartmet again. He fully expected to have to find it again, especially since Svetty was staying there.
Street lamps flickered on to light the sidewalks and Jude found himself wondering what was happening to everything. Who was trashing everything? He thought that it was Sebastian who had ruined Future Sight, but would he also ruin his own home? Would he take Ghost away somewhere?
> "So..."
"Hmm?" He glanced over at her and realized that, as pressing as those questions were, his time with Svetlana was even more precious. "I'm sorry. Just, so much has happened..." The back of Jude's hand brushed against Svetlana's knuckles as they walked and he decided to just go ahead and go for her hand. A little hand holding never hurt anyone, especially since she was wearing gloves.
He seemed distracted. No wonder. It took Sveta a lot of time to deal with what happened at the clinic; it probably was going to take more than that for him. He was their son, after all.
"So... this is de real you?" she asked, blushing a bit, the question did sound weird "I mean, dis is the age you were supposed to be?"
He held her hand. She let him. He was safe. ... Who was she kidding, he was not safe at all. He was as far from safe as you can get. But he felt safe, and for the time being, that was good enough.
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
"Ze real me?" He chuckled. He couldn't help himself. "Maybe a bit older zan I was shooting for, it's a bit hard to stop an aging mutation."
Jude tugged at his neatly cropped goatee. "But at zis age, I grow great facial hair." He winked and swung their hands playfully between them as they walked. Maybe no man ever truly grows up all the way...
When he got home, he would be tired from the strain of holding on to his innocuous mutation, but it was all so worth it.
Her giggle was infectious. He chuckled along even though it had been his own joke. He liked hearing her laugh. He liked hearing it even better when it was followed up by a compliment. Jude scratched his facial hair and grinned at Svetlana.
"If I am older zan you, iz sat a problem?" He teased.
He was already taller. Also, he rather liked being somewhere in his twenties. He might enjoy his twenties for several decades. In fact, if he could find the right mutants, he would have all his loved ones enjoy their twenties forever.
Though, in all seriousness, he couldn't keep everyone alive all the time. He couldn't be everywhere and most regrettably he couldn't yet stay with Svetlana to keep her safe. Emphasis on the yet.
"Svetty, be careful. Not just Aurum, but all ze time. Call and I will run to you." Whether he was the link between all the destruction and missing persons or not, he would rather be safe over sorry.
His phone lit up though his front pocket and he frowned at it. Was he ignoring his responsibilities to be here? Yeah. Was it much farther? He wasn't going to ask because that might make this moment end sooner.
"Nah" she concluded, shaking her head with a smile "They say older guys are more mature. In your case..." she did not finish the sentence. Age-shifting back and forth makes things complicated. And funny, in a way. She giggled again. "We'll see if dat is true."
>>"Svetty, be careful. Not just Aurum, but all ze time. Call and I will run to you."
"Don't worry about me, I am fine." she nodded, more serious this time. "Dey are teaching me self defence, and the whole mutant police is looking after me. And teaching me how to shoot a gun. I'm okay."
They walked all the way back to Aurum's apartment. It wasn't far.
"You be careful too, okay? Whatever it is that you are doing."
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
Don't worry about me were the four words guaranteed to make Jude worry. He couldn't imagine her with a gun, but he could imagine Svetty getting the cloth of her gloves caught in the trigger so that she couldn't even fire.
"I trust you." Or at least, he would try to trust her to know how to keep herself safe. Muse needed one of those safety signs: 'It's been ____ days since our last accident/kidnapping.' He felt that it had been a while since her last spat of trouble, but then again… she didn't always tell him.
He liked that she didn't ask what he was really up to. They had that conversation once before when he was a kid and he didn't think it would go much better now that he was grown. "I'll do my best."
And once they were at the door step, there wasn't any more time for them tonight. Jude squeezed her hand and brought it up to his lips. A goodnight kiss fit for two mutants who didn't quite trust the interaction of their powers.
He kissed her hand. Sveta smiled. Jude really grew up to be a gentleman. He did it quite fast too, but that was not the point.
"Don't disappear again, okay?" she said quietly "Promise."
It was good to have him back. Even with all the weird grown-up stuff and the mutant powers, he was someone she knew she could trust. He was also about as lost as she was. And she kind of felt responsible for that too. She was the one who kissed him first.
"I expect you to call when you can." she nodded "Good night, Jude."
