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.

Gawain braced himself for impact once again; you can never know when your girlfriend will present you with some intensive display of mutant powers and slam you agains the opposite wall. She was strong enough to shove him out of the way of a speeding car, he already knew that. True, she was scared and high on adrenaline at that moment, but still... the ability was there.
But intead of shoving, she patted him on the...
"... what the heck?!" Gawain blinked, turning around instinctively, then back to Ami "Seriously? You have ghost hands and that's what ya use them for?!..."
"What can I say?" Amelia smirked. "How could I resist."
So, what? She couldn't affect people, but it seemed like she was capable of interacting with what they were wearing just fine? If that was true, then maybe...
The old hand vanished. Amelia raised both her arms, calling up new ones. It seemed hands were easy. Sleeves flaring like a magician readying a spell, Amelia drew in her focus, and then...
The hands zoomed across the danger room the few feet between her and Gawain. They grabbed him by the shirt collar. And she pulled. And stepped. And led. Until the gap was closed.
>>"What can I say? How could I resist. Further testing, required..."
Gawain rolled his eyes at her; sure, she was getting the hand of using her powers, but she was being silly at the same time. Now he really wanted to know how it worked exactly, or what she could feel while doing it, or what it was at all... whoa.
This time, instead of shoving, he was pulled. Stumbling a few steps he collided with her, and she was kissing him. Hmmm.
Gawain never had any hesitation about kissing. One hand sneaking into her hair, he made sure she did not regret pulling him closer. Kissing was all they had been doing so far, but boy did it feel good...
"That's much better" he grinned once they parted "I like this power of yours."
"It's clothing manipulation!" She beamed. "And I can feel the textures of what I touch!" And she guessed he could feel her effects on the clothing. And she could use clothing as a medium to get to him! "Best power. Ever." She concluded with a smart nod.
His hand followed the nod. She leaned into his palm on the way up, resting against it for a second.
"I am glad you like it." She chirped. "The combat applications are seemingly endless."
>>"It's clothing manipulation! And I can feel the textures of what I touch! Best power. Ever. I am glad you like it. The combat applications are seemingly endless."
Gawain blinked. Whoa. That was fast. How Ami jumped to conclusion, he couldn't even follow, but if she said it was so, it was probably so, she was the one with the invisible hands after all. He grinned as he hugged her, his palm still on her cheek.
"Yeah, and that just shows ya're not a guy" he grinned at her, touching his nose to hers "A guy's mind would jump to a whole different application..."
She tugged him close again, with those spectral hands.
Amelia smiled into a kiss.
She'd totally gotten what he'd been insinuating. And who was to say that too had not crossed her mind? The less Gawain suspected about evil plots, the better.
