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.

MEDUSA!! *tricity yelled stepping backward in surprise. a lot of the other students cried out in fright and many of the humans ran from the cave, screaming. she looked over at the student who was now turned into amber.* shoulda known you would be somewhere with your kind!! *she yelled, the electricity in the low lighting of the holding cells for the reptiles began to flicker. tricity looked to johnathon.* get the kids and go toward the front gate. now! *she instructed as he showed sign of hesitation.*
Gorgon, who was starting to calm down thanks to the interfearince from Cassiel, becomes enraged again at the name "Medusa," and struggles to turn to face Tricity to stone her.
"<Don't you dare...! Don't you call me that!>" She snarls, struggling.
Cass's eyes were blazing blue with his own rage, but he kept trying to steal Gorgon's anger from her. His anger amplified his telekinesis, strengthening the hold he had keeping Gorgon in place. "Turn her back," he ordered, trying to keep his voice calm as he indicated the stone student.
"Ah... should I try to keep a low profile here, or are we already doomed to be another item on the evening news tonight?" he thought to Tricity, almost as an afterthought.
she can't turn them back once they've been turned to stone... *tricity answered, walking over to the student. she was trying to figure out how they would get the heavy stoned student from the cave and get away from gorgon safely for mike to let go of her with his mind.* we don't want any trouble, gorgon, so let's just get outta here before the police come and have us all locked up.
"The motionless girl in front of you would like to say otherwise," Mike said coldly, standing behind Gorgon and to the side. "She did nothing to you, and you turned her to stone. 'Wrong' doesn't begin to describe it."
look gorgon, if mike lets go of his hold on you, will you just leave without a fight?? *she asked, holding the electricity inside of her just in case.*
"Ms. Tipper, I can get us all out of here without being harassed by the locals or the police, and I can get her out of here without her being able to cause trouble or turn people to stone, but I don't think I can do both."
"Perhaps the police arriving soon will give you a reason. You really don't think you can turn someone to stone in the middle of a crowded public place and not cause an uproar, do you?"
uh...you haven't met her before... *tricity answered, recalling the many incidents she and gorgon, along with some other x-men, had had while in the city. she concentrated on mike.* can you get her to walk out of here and away so we won't get caught by the police? we are gonna need some time to lift this student up and outta here.
"I can try, I suppose. We'll know soon enough, but be ready for anything."
Again, Mike's power was far from subtle at the moment. He reached into Gorgon's mind, making the idea of walking out calmly with Mike and Tricity seem very, very pleasant. His face showed the strain of manipulating such a foreign mind, but he kept at it, praying it would work. All of his psychic strength poured into pacifying Gorgon... including any strength he was putting into his telekinesis.
*tricity could see the strain mike was having and was trying to think of what to do, but nothing came up. she began to move the stone of her student through the hallway just as johnathon came back in. he quickly helped her along with the stone and moved the little girl out of the cave. tricity turned around to see if mike was able to get gorgon to move.*
just get her to wanna go home... *tricity said to cassiel telepathically.* she's a loner and doesn't wanna deal with me in any fashion, trust me...we have a history *she began walking slowly up to mike to back him up just in case.*
