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.

Alexandra watched in terror as four officers got out of the police car and entered the restaurant. She heard Seth's words as an echo. Anger and fear was clouding her mind. Before she could suggest him to let chivalry aside and go hiding, she, along with Mietzl, were pushed from the view of the officers. Without saying another word, she tok Mietzl's arm and went trough the kitchen door. "Go!" she said to her new female friend then turned around. Slightly opening the doors, she was able to observe the fight without being seen. She watched in awe how Seth was fighting with the officers. He was a powerful mutant, but he looked as if he was gonna be tired soon. Her eyes changed once again from brown to blue. The content of the bottle of oil dissapeared and in few moments appeared on the floor, right under the feet of the police officers. The officer slipped and fell right on his bottom. If the situation wouldn't have been so dead serious, she would have laughed. But now she was concentrating. Turning her head, she saw Mietzl standing there still. But her attention focused on the boiling oil and smiled. Her eyes began to slightly glow as the hot oil teleported right on the face of the already hurt officers. But she failed in noticing the gun that shot his friend. Her eyes widdened as she saw her friends blood. No! She failed again!
'Save yourselves!' Within a second, Carrie lurched forward, stumbling blindly into the kitchen. A bullet whistled, missing her ear by an inch. 'Thanks,' she said hastily to Alex. Then, ducking back out to look at the unrest, 'Fool! Idiot! Dr Garsha, you -'
Her cries were drowned out - what was he saying?! He was singing down… the powers of the gods? Carrie was puzzled. Goosebumps rippled down her skin, and for a moment the jeweled breastplate glowed. She'd never seen anything like it before; to say the least, she was terrified, terrified, but shaking with adrenaline.
'What on earth is he doing?!' she screamed at Alex - the girl's eyes had grown intense, focused, she was Seeing in some way, she didn't know what, but there was power in those irises. 'What's going on?'
There was a shot. Something wet, something sticky and warm hit her across the forehead. Dragging the back of her hand across her head, she saw - 'it's blood,' she stared semi-surprised at her new friend. Her friend nodded quickly, the noise outside was deafening.
As if in a trance, Carrie's head jerked back - it was happening again, all over again. She'd hoped never to encounter a mutant fight with humans again and had kept low profile for longer than most, especially having once been human, fully human. But here she was in the cursed city of New York where unrest was at its highest. You knew what you were getting into when you came. Someone screamed, glancing over Alex's shoulder, she saw -
'…yes sir, I shot him and I shot him good. Let's round him up and stick him in one of those camps, an electrocution would teach these dung heaps to stay their place.'
The officer speaking was young, handsome and muscular with deadened eyes that gleamed excitedly whenever he looked over at Dr Garsha, who was struggling to get out and warding two other men at a time.
It was too much. Too much like the movies, it was like everything she'd read about. Turning to Alex, she said: 'He's right, something must be done, and we'd better do it too.' Glaring at the officer who'd pulled the trigger Carrie lurched and within seconds, where the Belgian woman had stood a shimmering mass replaced it.
'Now you're gonna get it,' the mass of a silvery form streaked across the room, assaulting the young officer. There was an unearthly screech, and moments later he'd crumpled to the ground. Somebody with a walrus mustache pointed a meaty finger at Dr Garsha, who was still holding up, and holding up a good fight against his attackers. 'Oh, great,' she groaned. Zooming out of the man's brain, she plunged into the circle of intensity, squeezing into the man closest to Dr Garsha. There was a clatter and a thud, as both his pistol and bulk hit the tiled floor.
Packing in T-cells in the remaining man still hot on Dr Garsha's heels, she then decided it was time, time to render you a vegetable, she thought grimly. The man fell, just like his comrades. Dr Garsha was gripping his stomach, blood flowing freely from the wound, but he was coping. Drawing in a breath, she sucked herself straight into the wound, and rapidly shot out the collected T-cells. Soon, the wound sparkled a natural grey and seemed to be knitting itself back together. Slowly, but it was working.
Edging back out, Carrie materialized back into her natural form. She'd never done healing work like that before, and the exhaustion, was terrible. She lost her balance, dizzy, and hit the concrete pavement hard. Blood spilled, mixed with a greenish color. It seemed, to her surprise, she'd picked up an infection. 'But this has never happened before,' she mumbled. Looking up, about a yard away, she saw Dr Garsha leaning on the rails of an exit staircase. She smiled at him crookedly. He should live. She hoped.
"He's rightm something must be done and we'd better do it too.[/i]" she heard Mietzl say. As she looked in the dirrection of the young female mutant, she was no longer there. Or, at least, she wasn't there in her human form, a shimmering mass replacing her. The next moment, the silvery mass flew and engulfed an officer inside it. "What the-" was everything she could stay. She breathed. Mietzl had already gone in the battle. She wondered why did she go hiding like a coward in the first place. Not afraid anymore... Touching the kitchen doors, she made them disappear molecule by molecule, revealing herself to the authorities. " Here, kitty, kitty." she whispered as one officer looked at her. His intention was to shoot at her but the concrete ground that he was standing on suddenly dissapeared. The officer fell and he shot the ceiling. With the corner of her eye she watched Seth getting out, followed by two or three officers and probably Mietzl as well. A pack of flour flew directly in the eyes of the other officer that remained in the pizza place with her. Her eyes turned once more to the man on the floor. He looked terrified at the young mutant. His gun was trembling in his raised hand. Alexandra kneeled next to him and touched the gun. "Come on. Shoot." she said as she disintegrated the gun molecule by molecule. The man simply fainted. Alexandra looked at him with disgust. Without raising to her feet, she looked at the other officer that was stil getting the flour out of his eyes. Putting her palm on the ground a crackle began to form from where her hand was touching the ground and became larger as it made it's way towards the officer. He was caught by surprise. He fell and hit his head on the concrete. Blood stained it... Alexandra didn't know if she killed him or not but she didn't actually care. Getting out trough the broken window, she followed the trail of her friends.
Leaning back onto the pavement, her fingertips touched a patch of grass, pushing its way out of a crack to the sunlight. It instantly withered at her touch, buzzing a small shock up her arm. I didn't know I could absorb cells from plants. She pressed the tiny bit of dirt inside. A small zing hit her. I must be really weak to absorb cells without meaning to, she thought.
She heard sirens in the distance. From where she was, she could see people heading to the direction of the pizza parlor, yelling obscenities and making rude gestures about how the problem of mutants should be solved. Seeing Alex, she waved her over and grinned. 'What did you do? Whatever it was, it must've been impressive. This is the time to be a mutant…and enjoy life.'
You're insane, a cool part of her mind said. Feeling slightly delirious, she wobbled slowly to her feet, reaching out to Alex for support. She heard another noise. This time, it didn't sound like mere human authorities were being attracted to them.
She ran, encountering in her way the bodies of the officers that went chasing Seth and Mietzl. Behind her, people were gathering to the pizza store, most of them making comments about the mutant problem. Finally, she got to the place where Mietzl and Seth were. Being healed by the young mutant that was now laying on the ground, Seth seemed fine, at first look. She decided to go help Mietzl. They girl waved to he and smiled. " What did you do? Whatever it was, it must've been impressive. This is the time to be a mutant... and enjoy life.[/i]" Mietzl said. Alexandra slightly smiled to her as she helped her up. Before saying something a strange noise caught her attention. She turned around. "What the-" she and Mietzl said in the same time.
Seth continued running, he couldn't use his powers without fear of overusing his eyes and putting himself into a state of overdrive where he spontaneously used powers he had copied throughout the years without any control...and afterwards would be close to death. Seth slammed himself against the emergency exit and shut the door in the officers' face. His iris' spun as his hands heated up and a ball of pure fire appeared in his hand. He ran the ball over the cracks in the door welding it shut.
Seth jumped over the fire escape to the floor, rolling as he hit the ground. Seth kept running, his vision almost doubling.
'Weird,' Carrie ran her hand over her jeweled breastplate. It was becoming a bit of a habit, one that attracted annoying smirks. 'Alex…. I don’t think we can fight these off…'
A buzzing caught her attention. The youth behind the Ferrari rocked back and forth, absorbed in the latest rock hit. Glancing quickly at the traffic light, she saw it was still red.
By then, Dr Garsha was gone.
'Alex… they haven't started firing yet. Perhaps... we should get out,' she stuck her chin in the direction of the sports car. The light was still red. 'Want to join me?'
Something flashed. It looked like a metal arm had swung up - and it was aimed straight at them.
Seth hadn't noticed the giant flying robots....but he did when they landed. He spun on his heels and ran back the other way towards Carrie and Alex "DAMN IT ALL!" he said as he ran at full speed. Damn my chivalry he thought as he came into view of the two other mutants. Something inside him snapped as he saw the unrelenting monster that these humans had created to exterminate his brothers and sisters.....his Chosen. He saw the robot level a giant arm at Carrie and Alex.
Seth's iris' spun.
A deafening crackle of electricity was heard and a spectacular blue light lit up the night as Seth unleashed his fury upon the offending robot's arm, the energy shields absorbing most of the damage but the concussive force behind the lightning drove its arm out of the path of the mutants. When the blue light cleared and Seth's iris' stopped spinning, the white trench coated man stood directly in front of the two mutant women, his hands bloody and cracked black from the burns of using his lightning at such a close distance at such great intensity.
"You two alright?" he asked turning his head to show a weak smile and a fading light in his bright green eyes.
"Get on out of here....like I told you to before...." he sighed as he prepared himself for what he had to do, stall...and maybe even be captured by the evil things....but that was the worst case scenario. His head turned back to the Stalker and he continued speaking to Carrie and Alex "Go..." he said as he summoned his rage for another outburst trying to keep an optimistic out look on the situation...and failing.
He knew deep inside that there was no way on any of the planes he could beat these three hulking monstrosities...they were too well armed and shielded for any of his copied powers....considering he only had three so far...and one he had no idea how to use on such a large scale to harm any of them. The girls hadn't started moving.
His eyes lit up green again, his mouth smirked in a false sense of security as his insanity started to kick in...at least it would keep him from losing his honor...keep him from running from the beast and leaving to women alone to face it. He cracked his knuckles wincing as his burnt and cracked finger brushed against each other.
'You idiot,' Carrie grumbled again as she looked over her shoulder to see her new friend run back to fight off the bots. 'Run for it, Garsha!'
Hearing no reply, she instead spurned her heels forward to the Ferrari. Yellow light. Green. Go.
All around she could hear cars screeching, some honking and yelling at the youth to get a move on. He didn't. Instead, he still sat there, rocking. Now's my chance.
Dodging the other cars by a mere hair, she jerked open the side door. Before the surprised dimwitted driver could register his car being hi-jacked, she'd shoveled him off. Taking control of the wheel, Carrie Mietzl hit the accelerator for dear life - and for the very first time.
'Oh bad….' she moaned. 'Ah well, it couldn't be that hard to turn a wheel.. And move this thing…'
The considered making an escape for it - hearing a woman scream, she turned back. Now you're the fool, Mietzl.
She slammed her way into the first bot. Toxic fumes reached her nostrils. Not knowing how to make the car go back, she gave a wobbly three-hundred-and-sixty turn.
Alexandra looked with curiosity at the three robots that landed in front of her and Carrie. For some odd reason, she had lost the fear she was feeling back in Romania. Carrie's suggestions were unheard by the raven-haired mutant. Her eyes changed colors once again. This time, they turned in a brilliant green. It was her first real battle and she weas going to fight it till the end. A blue lightning struck one of the robots. She turned around to see Seth. So he had come back. She nodded slightly when Seth asked if she and Carrie were alright then turned around to face the mutant-hunter robot. With the corner of her eye saw Carrie trying to drive a Ferrari in one of the robots. Her attention concentrated on the remaining robot. Kneeling, she touched the ground. She felt every molecule in the concrete. Concentrating, she pushed aside the matter, creating once more a crackle in the ground that grew as it was reaching the robot. With a smile, she watched as the holes caught it's feet and pushing her hand deeper into the hard cement, she enclosed the robot's feet in the ground. She knew that that was not gonna stop it. [edited]
Seth felt like killing both of the mutants who were doing the exact opposite of what he had asked them to do. Mental note....beat the stupid out of the two mutants in back of me.....if we make it out of here alive... he thought as he saw out of the corner of his eye, Carrie trying to drive...and failing miserably.
Seth groaned to himself How did I get stuck with the combat instinct impaired mutants? he thought as he mustered up another blast of lightning, trying to push the pain away from his burnt fingers. He didn't fire...in fact he didn't even prepare to fire the lightning....instead he saw the car, the driver and Alex...and his muscles sprang into action. He quickly ran behind Alex, and without saying anything he swept her off her feet and hauled her to the car. He was moving fast, very fast due to his slender but toned physique. He quickly pried open the back seat car door and flung himself and Alex head first into the back seat, making sure she wasn't damaged by his landing on her. His eyes snapped furiously at Carrie as he said one word in a feral growl and a yell at the same time. A simple minded command.
Alexandra stood up. Fatigue got to her from the overuse of powers, as she felt like she was about to faint. The next moment, a pair of strong arms had surrounded her and practically threw her in the car that Carrie was trying to handle. Her eyes returned to normal and she was able to see Seth standing on top of her. "DRIVE![/i]" he yelled to Carrie. Coughing embarassed by their position, she tried to stand up but failed. " Thank you for the save, dr. Garsha. Now, if you could-uhmmm..." she said but the words were caught up in her throat. It was quite of an unusual situation for her and she thanked god that it was dark and no on e could see that she was blushing.
As Dr Garsha released his emotions in a growl, Carrie's made a feminine throaty noise to match it. Both had realized their inadequacy in combat in the fight - she having never had a real opponent had merely brushed up her control of powers slightly on lesser creatures. Now here she was, stuck in some cursed engine, trying to power it only as she saw fit. She had the sneaky suspicion neither of the two mutants had faced what they were facing now either.
Her seat shook roughly, they had just merely missed a lamppost. In the back she could Alex and Dr Garsha shifting to be seated, get a better view, scream directions, duck. 'Whatever you guys are doing, don't get comfortable!' That can wait, if we get out of this, together and alive, she thought grimly.
'Citizens of New York, in order to save us from the headache of rescuing you and for your personal safety, back off,' boomed a voice.
'Hold on…………..' With that she jammed her heel onto the accelerator, pushed a few buttons and drove down an alleyway. Trashcans clang I'm a fool for not learning how to drive in Belgium - she distantly heard an 'Ow!' Taking a sharp turn to the left, her head nearly exploded, from pain and despair.
Clearing her throat, Alexandra finally seated herself. "And for the record, Seth, I was doing perfectly fine." she continued. A wrong maneuvre of Mietzl, made her bump Seth, then the car. "Mietzl, for God's sake, look where you're going!" she said holding the front seat tight. As an answer, Mietzl made a sharp turn to the left and practically threw Seth on her. She didn't say anything. The view in front of her was terrifying. They had arrived at a dead end.
