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.

Maya did return, wearing jeans and a tank top; she just needed to get her hoodie and jacket again if Ami wanted...
... oh.
Stopping in the bathroom door, Maya blinked, not entirely sure what she was supposed to say; there has obviously been some kind of a miscommunication here, because Ami was not dressed for any more midnight walking. She was not really dressed much at all.
"So" she said with a small smile "You are stayin' over."
Maybe it would not sound as cheeky, coming from Maya?
"Well, I figured. Hoodies were a good default gift, but..." She sat down on the edge of Maya's bed, resting her hands on either side "Hoodies just seem like the kind of gift you give when you don't know, you know? And I figured... Well." She bowed her head for a second, blushing. Damn. How had Ginny done it, dropping this sort of stuff all in one go? She looked up again. "That Gender-Changing thing really got in the way of me giving you to this on Christmas, you know."
But she knew. And. "Well, I wanted this to be special for both of us. Both our first times. Look." She bent forward and shifted to contents of the bag. Found what she was looking for. Plopped it on her chest. Beamed up at her. "I even got you a bow."
>>"Well, I figured. Hoodies were a good default gift, but... Hoodies just seem like the kind of gift you give when you don't know, you know? And I figured... Well. That Gender-Changing thing really got in the way of me giving you to this on Christmas, you know."
What the... what? Maya's mind didn't do a double take this time. It just kinda stopped processing the information altogether. She blinked, and watched Ami sit down on the bed. Was she really saying what she was thinking, or was she about to horribly misunderstand something again?
>>"Well, I wanted this to be special for both of us. Both our first times. Look. I even got you a bow."
"Wh..." it came out more as a gasp, since she was still catching up, but at least the wheels started turning again. She even had a bow. On her chest.
All right, so she got the basic idea - it was kind of hard to miss the point. But the fact that Ami had been waiting for a Maya day threw her off. Why? She had kind of settled for the usual mindset, with being the boyfriend of Gawain days, and being, well, Maya on Maya days...
Walking closer, she knelt down in front of her, touching her face gently. Both of them were blushing by now, well, at least they matched colors.
'Because I want you to have something to remember, the next time Maxine gets too close?' That hadn't even been contemplated. It wasn't even on her mind to have been furthest from it. It was, like, in the furthest ring, in a place where time and space operated differently, and it was pretty much impossible to navigate.
Her answer was far simpler than any of that.
"Because I want to." She leaned forward and pressed a kiss onto Maya's forehead.
There. Now Maya had gotten a taste of her own medicine. She should feel pleased. That sort of trick worked on Mayas, too.
Maya had not slept like this for years. It was a dreamless sleep, but not heavy or exhausted... well, she was tired, but still, it felt better than any other peaceful night in the recent past.
Of course, on the first day of the new year, nobody else was getting up early either; the Mansion was still quiet when she stirred late in the morning. She was smiling sleepily before she even opened her eyes.
She'd been awake before Maya had stirred. Just laying there, spooning. Now, there was an interesting word. An interesting thing. It was new. The bed smelled like Maya. That was new, too.
As Maya shifted, Amelia snugged her middle and pressed a smiling kiss against the nape of her neck.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty." She said.
Kissing Maya first thing in the morning? Hey. Another new thing. So far, her resolution was going swimmingly.
Gah, Sleeping Beauty. No way in hell. The smile grew wider as Maya turned and nuzzled Ami's neck. She smelled nice.
"G'morning Panda" she finally opened her eyes "Happy New Year."
Because they totally forgot about that. There were too many other new things to experience... Waking up like this, for example. She could just hope Ami did not change her mind in the morning light. She knew she didn't.
It was tempting. Really tempting. Amelia opened her mouth to say yes, and--
She was cut off by her cellphone's ring.
There was a quick fumble of sheets and profanity as she clutched the sheets against her chest and stumbled for the phone.
Sliiiiiiide. Flop. She landed on the floor with all the bedding, right next to her duffel bag.
"^_^!?"
Amelia flipped open the phone. "Hi... mooooom?"
She winced. She was so dead.
"Where are you?"
"I thought I'd locked that door! I mean. Um."
"Grounded. Seriously. Where?" Mother unit was not amused.
Amelia glanced at Maya weakly. She held up a single finger. "Oh, silly me. I'm just at the mansion, with some friends. I slipped out earlier this morning. Didn't I tell you?"
"You were out all night, weren't you?"
"W-what gives you that idea?" Her voice cracked.
She could almost hear the pointed eyeroll. "That."
Dammit!
"So. Grounded?"
"Yup."
"I'll be home later to talk, then?"
"I really don't think you'll get a word in edgewise..."
"Okay, mom. Love you. Bye." She hung up. Then, she sighed. "I am so deeeeeeead." Her eyes drifted to land on Maya. "Oh well. No regrets."
Maya rolled onto her stomach and wrinkled her nose as she watched Ami talk. Things were obviously not great in the parent department, which kind of made sense, since they just discovered their daughter was out all night, anf parents with teenage daughters don't usually approve of that.
>>"Okay, mom. Love you. Bye.... I am so deeeeeeead. Oh well. No regrets."
"Grounded, huh" Maya sighed "I'm sorry. I mean, no regrets here either, but it still kinda sucks."
Getting out of bed with the rest of the sheets, she offered a hand to help her up.
"Are you gonna tell them... uhm, about this?" she asked hesitantly "Just so I know if big brother's gonna show up to murder me..."
>>"I'm sorry. I mean, no regrets here either, but it still kinda sucks."
"Yeah." She agreed.
She liked the view, though. So it didn't suck hard...
Was she going to tell her parents about... her first...?
Amelia had to snerk. Then, laugh!
"Haha! You're freaking kidding, right? God, no. This is not something one usually shares with anyone other than..." She finally took Maya's hand. She bowed, and kissed it. "You."
She let Maya help her up, hugging her blankets to her chest.
>>"Haha! You're freaking kidding, right? God, no. This is not something one usually shares with anyone other than... You."
Maya smiled as she pulled her up, hugging her for a quick kiss.
"All right then. No stayin' in bed all day..."
She looked kinda sad because of that. It was such a perfect plan. But if Ami did not get home in time, she would be in even bigger trouble than she was now. She did not want her girlfriend grounded, even though she could technically visit her any time she wanted...
"I hope ya've got time for a shower before I take you home." she grinned
