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.

4 was too much money and they wouldn't sell him just 1. So 3. One for mommy and one for each kid. He hadn't been in that future glimpse anyway.
"We are friends at least." He confirmed that much as he passed her the flowers without touching her. How hard were these to grow, he wondered? "Zere was no one else I wanted to talk to more today."
Because she was the best chance to find Ghost? No. Because she knew where he was coming from and she believed in him even when he was moping.
"Help me look in ze future one more time? I sink enough time has passed since we touched." And taking a look ahead did not require more touching... Even roommates didn't technically have to touch. Just, that he wanted to...
He bought her flowers. Sveta smiled, and held the blue roses; it looked like they were quickly becoming a symbol for the two of them, with their first meeting, and the story she told him... they were pretty. And now it was an official date.
>>"We are friends at least. Zere was no one else I wanted to talk to more today."
Friends? Sveta chuckled. They were so much more than friends. Jude sounded uncertain about things now, that they had to face reality; but she had hopes that everything was going to turn out all right. He promised, after all.
"I am glad that you found me."
>>"Help me look in ze future one more time? I sink enough time has passed since we touched."
She nodded.
"Sure." they would keep looking, and they would find Maya. That was what was going to happen, that and nothing else.
They found another quiet place, away from people; another bench by the park. She made sure they didn't touch; that made it easier for him to hold on to his powers. Holding the roses in her lap, she waited for him to look into her eyes.
It was clearer this time. Easier to handle. Without her boosting touch, it felt clearer... less real, but more stable. Closer, too.
She saw unicorns. Two unicorns, at least, white, as unicorns are supposed to be... and something else that looked like a unicorn, but it was... black? She saw them fighting, saw them, not in a way someone sees a dream, or someone sees the future, she actually saw them... she was there. She was going to be there. That was... scary as hell.
She shuddered, but didn't pull away. Jude needed to see more. Jude needed to see Maya...
... Maya was there. She couldn't really be seen clearly, but she was there, in the future. She was there. She was pregnant. She was alive.

Hooves clattered past, but that wasn't what Jude was interested in. He was interested in the not dead and very much alive and horrified Ghost. The hair was different. The clothes too. She didn't look entirely well, but she certainly wasn't dead.
How would Jude be able to convince the police of that? That meant Sebastian was innocent of her murder. Where was this? When was this? He searched for clues, but there was so much going on his head that he couldn't hold onto that moment.
The thread tugged and Jude was juggling two sons, one with diaper off. Svetlana was laughing at him. So little and brand new. The thread tugged, Christmas trees. Not angry and attacking ones either. Muse was ice skating. The thread tugged and tugged further and further along, but Jude had closed his eyes.
"Thanks." It didn't tell him anything useful besides the fact that she was alive. And that Svetlana and him would still hang out when the babies had come.
There were the pictures again. Of babies and Christmas trees. Sveta did not pay much attention, it was all too much confusing, and it had babies in it, and that was not easier to deal with than half and hour ago.
Jude closed his eyes.
Sveta blinked, and hsook her head clear of the images. Where did the unicorns come from? That looked like something out a dream more than something in the actual future. Even with mutants involved. But Maya was real.
"She's alive" she said, catching her breath "She's gonna be okay. We'll find her."
Strangely, he did not look happy. He looked... tired?
"Jude?... Are you okay?"
*italics are spoken in Russian* Thanks to Siren for the sig and avi!
"Yeah." He fumbled with the sunglasses, still unused to doing some things without the aid of sight. "We'll find her. You're right." At least, Svetlana would.
Once the glasses were in place, Jude leaned in a a quick cheek kiss. His power always behaved better when he had recently used the power he was holding onto. Like it was less likely to want to switch when it realized what he had was good for something.
"Uh. I guess I'll call you?" He stuck his hands deep down in his pockets. Today, he'd learned a lot of what he wasn't ready for and not as much about what he wanted. That was how the future worked.
Now, it was time to figure out what to do for the present. He could ask Sebastian directly... or maybe he could figure out a little bit more on the other woman first. That took a lot less courage.
She got kissed on the cheek. At this point, that was all she could expect. Sveta sighed, nodding to him; he was a grown man now, and he had Things to do. Nothing was going to be easy.
"You'd better" she smiled at him "Let me know if you find something."
She didn't really know what she could do to help him search. She would have to ask Aurum. Or talk to someone at the Mansion. She was going to help him, one way or another.
"And if you don't... still call me" she added with a smile, touching his face with a gloved hand. He bought her flowers, after all.
