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.

Was she good? Simply the best there was at dumb luck.
Yeah.
She couldn't really figure out all of what the Koga kid was saying about being good and going through hell, so she took it at face value, smiling at the two of them as they caught up. She nodded her head when Koga brought her back into the conversation.
"No problem. Owed you one for the pizza, after all." She said.

Good guys and grandpas and missing people and real and fake family, oh my. Shin's head spun, but he went along with it.
"You'll have to tell the whole story later," he agreed. "Glad to have you back!"
"Thank you, Ami. For helping him out." He turned to Amelia. He gave her a cheesy 90s-style thumbs up. She rolled her eyes.
"You were just there, man. I got lucky."
Shin rolled his eyes. "You summoned me from the pits of spirit world with a hint of your energy. Obviously that's what happened here. Luck had nothing to do with it."
"So, I heard mention of pizza?" Shin looked hopefully to Koga. Pizza actually did sound really good. And maybe some root beer of gatorade? Mmm.
“Nah, it was simply pizza for a friend I about to make. No debt needed.” He grinned at Ami, while standing next to Shin who was giving her the thumbs up, they looked a little bit too enthusiastic.
He nodded to Shin. “Itss good to be back! Ssure thing, we might have to grab coffee or something if we are going to go over everything in one sitting though.” He smirked slightly as he noticed he had outgrown Shin. He would have been tall at home even at his measly 5’8 height.
Koga snapped his attention back to Ami impressed, wide eyed. The way Shin said it with sarcasm made it seem like she knew exactly what she had done. “Do you really ssummon people?” Around here you never could know.
Koga spun on his heal, he wouldn’t make Shin ask directly he was too happy to see his friend to care about proper requests. He popped open the fridge and grabbed a root beer and French bread pizza from the freezer. He then let the microwave do the work from which he would take the credit. He turned back around after putting Shin’s food on a plate and set his root beer down next to him. He got root beer by default Ami and he had opted for it so, He could be the third to have the meal.
Could they just drop the whole debt thing already? Heh. Was starting to get kind of embarrassing.
She was silent for a minute while Shin and Koga talked. Shin nodded his head.
"Yeah. Catching up would be good, man."
Amelia noted how Shin was actually shorter than Koga, yet that Koga seemed younger somewhat. The way Shin was reacting, it seemed like he noticed it, too. He was smiling, yeah, but there were some definite double-takes going on. Maybe he still thought of Koga as a little kid?
Koga was definitely not a little kid, by the way. Nope. Not a little kid at all. ... And she had a boyfriend. The conversation turned back to her and she was glad to shake her head.
"No. That is most certainly not my power." She replied.
And now he was looking to Shin for help with the 'Amelia power deal', too. Or... just getting him pizza, actually. Pizza was cool, too. She wasn't about to make a pig of herself and ask for a second, though. She would have to see about doing some running to burn off the first.
Amelia kept on talking to him as Koga worked on preparing the nummies. "I make these sort of 'ghost hands' that mess with clothing," she said. "And only clothing. It's pretty useful. If I want to grab a stray sock."

Shin took the pizza thankfully.
Pizza was, as everyone else on-scene had already made quite clear, Godly. And root beer was okay, too. He'd heard somewhere that not all of his friends back home might've liked the stuff, but. He'd grown accustomed to it. Turning it down every time would simply have gotten too rude.
Shin arched an eyebrow at Ami. "Didn't know that power, exactly." He said. "Aurum doesn't exactly go around, telling people about your powers. Sounds cool."
Amelia shrugged. "Still working on it. Don't really like to brag. Definitely not as cool as yours."
"Bet you could mimic it, though." He randomly suggested. "At least, the neato fancy images stuff."
The reptilian young man nodded enthusiastically to Shinbo’s reply. Koga looked at Ami with wide eyes. “ That hass all ssortss of potential to be dangerouss and even more potential sstill to be heroic. I mean until you run into a naked foe, There hass to be literiral tonss of clothing in thiss city. And even more applications of how to use it to correct situations.”
To be fair and after the conversation died down, he went ahead and spilled info on his mutation. “Ssensse I already know yourss I figure I’ll tell you mine.” He blended his skin to the back ground. “ I change colorss and camouflage, I can climb wallss, I don’t sspin webss though. Everything elsse mutation wisse, iss for the mosst part decoration. “ never mind his ability to constrict things. There was only one use for that and he didn’t care for saying hey, I’m deadly.
Soon he would have to interrogate this Sinbo about Women named Kealey and how distracting they were, and about working for the police, he didn’t get that at all. Super hero…police officer. he didn’t get it.
>>“ That hass all ssortss of potential to be dangerouss and even more potential sstill to be heroic. I mean until you run into a naked foe, There hass to be literiral tonss of clothing in thiss city. And even more applications of how to use it to correct situations.”
"Yeah." She agreed, straight-faced. She let a hand stray out into the air in front of her in a passing wave of mystical emphasis. "Nudity is my Kryptonite." She noted hauntingly.
>>“Ssensse I already know yourss I figure I’ll tell you mine.” He said.
She nodded. Kay.
He did his thing. Okay.
It was actually kind of cool. She tilted her head, confused at one thing he'd added.
"Why would you spin webs...?" She asked him. "For the most part, you sound like a neato chameleon. And look it." Kid was a freaking lizard boy. How did webs add into that?
Koga raised his eyebrows; did he talk about naked people in front of her? Yeah he was too excitable when talking about mutations. He glanced at Shin, not knowing on how good terms he was on with this brother, Ami said good friends, last thing he needed was to be put on a big brother list, hey that kid talks about nudity around your little sister. Shin wouldn’t do that to him, hopefully.
“ Though really , you could dresss them and then they wouldn’t be.” He nodded to himself, good save.
Koga looked at the girl in front of him; she must not read comics…not everyone read comics. “ Eh, you know arachna dude, arachna dude, look out here comess the arachnadude?” He shrugged. “ not important.”
He looked to Shin, for help and all he got was a blank look. Subject change! “ Sso, the Nypd? Whatss the deal with that?”

"The X-men and the NYPD are working together now. So I thought I'd join up. Every time I helped out as an 'X-man', they didn't seem to like it. I figured maybe they'd treat me like one of their own if I went through the hard work required to be one, instead of getting a free 'in'."
"So far, not much luck." The Asian frowned a little. "But there are a few cool guys, at least."
Koga narrowed his eyes, his hand went momentarily to his chin as if in thought, in the utmost attempt at seriousness he nodded in agreement to the comment of killing someone with a sock. He hopped he hadn’t managed to offend her, he hadn’t meant to if he had.
How, did she miss arachna dude?...its ok, Koga its ok.
His quizzical expression was obvious to the reasoning behind shin’s efforts…but. “I’m glad to hear that there is some more agreement between the two, it certainly can’t hurt, But I didn’t see any of them after we took out claythulu a couple Christmas’s ago. I’ll take the free in, if you can call putting up with Sam’s training a free in.” He paused thoughtfully.
“But I can ssee your point too. It couldn’t hurt to have an x men on both sides of that coin, Is there anything I can help with?” A nod was all he got for his comment about the cool guys, a lot of the police force seemed inept to him, why else would the crime rate in the city be as high as it was? Maybe it was because Shin hadn’t joined yet, that was probably it. Shin would drop that crime rate quick.
No offense had been taken. The arms crossing? Yeah. It was mainly for dramatics. Scare-factor. When a woman crossed her arms and looked at a guy like that, for some reason it made them want to head for the hills.
She wasn't taking offense at anything in this conversation, really. It was perfectly fine if it stayed between Koga and Shin. She'd had something to do here, anyways. Hadn't she?
Amelia checked her phone's clock. Hm.
"Sorry guys," she said casually. "I think I'm gonna jet. Go look for Gawain. Thanks for the pizza," she smiled at the lizard guy. Then she nodded to Shin. "I'll catch you later."

Ami left.
Shin turned back to Koga. Back on the topic of police stuff and all that jazz... he scratched his head. "I don't think you can help me really, Koga. Sorry. I think all of this is stuff I'll have to deal with on my own."
So. Onto more interesting topics. "Did you know that I proposed to Kealey?" He asked.
Koga smiled at Amelia once last time. “ no worries, It was nice meeting you, Tell Gawain Koga says Hi.” He blushed slightly remembering hitting on his female form after a Claythulhu showdown. And then he realized that Amelia might already be spoken for…Maybe. A slight pout hit his lips after She turned around and disappeared before he fully turned back to Shin.
“Hmmm, well if you think of anything I can help with just say the word.” He said sincerely.
His face then lit up with Joy for his friend! Jumping from his Stool, any thoughts of his own potential love life flitted away, He rushed over to Shin and embraced him. “Congratulations! No, I hadn’t heard.” He then leaned back. Remembering to make sure, he had seen her around. “She’s the beautiful empath from Ireland, right?” His puzzled look stayed temporarily there.

"Mhm, mhm," He bobbed his head. Somehow in a single sentence he was feeling less like garbage and more like a person who was actually excited about something. It was good. He bounced with Koga.
"I was all 'Will you?' casually, with the ring while we were just idling in the new apartment, and her eyes grew wide and she was all 'yes' and it was good."
He let Koga go and took a step back because men don't embrace. Shin coughed into his palm. "We haven't set a date yet, but yes. I am very excited." He said in a deep, manly voice. Because he was deep and manly now, post-hugging dancing almost-girly screaming time. Yes.
