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.

NOW!" NO! LISTEN TO ME! officer: "do as we say or we will make you!!" *tricity realized they were on a deserted street and there wasnt much electricity around. she looked at the street light and started to absorb the energy.*

Ire stood and felt the energy transfer in the air, behind the car he began to create a field of shadow to blind the officers if he had to. Not knowing what Tricity was capable of he waited and watched.
*she sighed and wished it didnt have to come to this. a blue orb began to form in her hands as she transferred the energy.* ire... officer: "STOP! stop now or we shoot!" *ire looked at her from the other side of the car.* i dont know you very well, but we both care about orion it seems...so let's protect him... *the orb in her hand was the size of a basketball.* officer: "OPEN FIRE!!" *ire and tricity broke out into different directions as the police began to shoot.*

As Ire dodged the bullets he cast out a shadow to blind the officers. They both were now just firing wildly. Trying to keep in mind not to kill these men Ire did not draw his swords. Making his way around one of them he held out his gauntleted hand for a strike to the mans temple. He looked to Tricity as if to ask for permission but she was busy at the moment so he did it anyhow. The Officer toppled over onto the ground.
*tricity rolled behind a car that was parked on the side of the road. the second officer looked around nervously as she quietly walked up right behind him. she touched him on the back of his neck, sending a shock through his body. he convulsed for a second and then collapsed to the ground. she looked over to ire as the shadow passed and saw the first officer on the ground.* you didnt kill him did you? *she asked, just as more police vehicles pulled up to where they stood and more officers opened their doors to attack them.* save it... *she said to ire as they both ran again from the hail of gunfire.*

Ire wanted nothing more then to be a passed out Orion in the back seat, that would make things a bit easier. He knew that if Tricity got hurt Orion would be upset. In the middle of his thoughts a bullet grazed his shoulder.
Letting out a grunt he stated his distaste, "I hate this damn time!"
Ire then leaped up and behind Tricity's car pressing his back to it. Anger grew stronger with the bullet wound, he wondered how much longer he could go without killing the humans.
*tricity ducked behind her car as well and looked at ire's shoulder.* bullets suck huh? *she said trying to smile. tricity closed her eyes and concentrated on all the electricity surging through the block. the lights on the street went out as her body began to glow blue. the officers were firing at tricity's car, but stopped when the lights had gone black. she opened her eyes again and they were completely black. as she stood up, tricity could use the concentration of her mind and shoot electricity from her eyes instead of conjuring in her hands now that there was such a power running through her. the officers tried to adjust their eyes to the light, but tricity began shooting bolts from her eyes at them.*

Ire sat and for a moment forgot the pain as he watched in awe the power that Tricity possessed. He stood up and saw that an officer now pursued from the opposite direction, he had somehow made his way around the car without then seeing him. The man was going toward Tricity because she was letting off enough light to let him know where she was. Ire, using his Fervor vision had no trouble seeing the man and tackled him before he could get any closer to her.
*tricity turned around at the sound of the officer's grunting. she saw ire on the ground, fighting the man off. she blasted a surge at him which hit directly in his chest, knocking him from on top of ire. she felt someone grab her from behind, mistakenly, as the officer was shot backward from touching her. another one tried to use a taser, but she smiled at his stupidity and kicked him in the middle of his chest, knocking him backward. tricity's head began to swirl as all the energy was still inside her and she needed to release it or suffer. orion and the kids flashed through her mind as tricity ran top speed toward the main force of officers. as the blue ora shown from her body, the officers saw her and opened fire. she felt all the muscles in her body contract as she stopped in the road and released all the energy within her. dozens of blue sparks shot from her body at once and hit several of the policemen, knocking them out of commission. afterward, tricity fell to her knees, but noticed half the force was incapacitated.*

Ire after getting off the ground and watching the spectacle ran to Tricity's aid. He made his way to the front of her casting shadowed apparitions about to distract the remaining officers.
"I'm sorry." Was all he said as she saw him slip into the darkness.
Grunts and screams erupted from the dark. Ire's shadows did their job in distracting the guards while he tried to connect with head shots to incapacitate the officers. Releasing the shadows revealed Ire holding an officer against the hood of a squad car by the throat.
"You're kind have brought me so much pain and I want you to feel that."
Ire's eyes turned dark as he lifted the officer and hurled him threw the windshield of an adjacent car. He then proceeded back to a kneeling Tricity.
*tricity looked up as she knelt on the ground, fearing that ire had taken lives by the gruesome screams.* le...let's g...get goin.. *ire helped her to her feet and he helped tricity to the driver's seat. ire went around to the other side. tricity composed herself and they drove off to the mansion.*
