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.

Raina sang her notes and the ice below her skated along underneath her feet. She glanced back at the twins to be sure they were keeping up, and watched Zelek up ahead. Occasionally she'd look to Ali and wonder what the girl's power might be. She looked back ahead excited to be going back and glad she'd met some new friends.

Now that they all were moving Ali glanced around at the others. She was still amazed at Raina as she made the ice stay beneath her like she was constantly ice skating. She wonderd if that was all the girl was able to do. The boy seemed to like he was pretty good with his skateboarding. The twins however were starting to get on her nerves. They were constantly giggling and pretending they weren't doing anything.
They group travelled along and finally the twins got to be too annoying. Ali looked to them with a very visible look as if to say what the hell? "What's your guys' problem? If you have something funny to say then say it out loud. Maybe the rest of us might like to know what's so funny."

Raina came to a hault and watched Ali. She bit he rlower lip. The twins were younger than she was- but even she wouldn't entice them like that. Earlier she had met a comment and stood up for herself, but it was provoked. She was nervous for Ali unsure of what the twins would do to someone they hadn't purposly povoked. She looked to Zelek.

"So why don't you tell us what's so funny then? Or are you only able to laugh at each other."
Ali noticed the girls stance and watched them look her over. They definately had an attitude just like she did. Question was...who's temper would flare up to the point of using powers first?

"I thought you two were already looking in mirrors." Ali watched the twin girls carefully. She wasn't about to show her power first. She wanted it to be a bright and colorful surprise to everyone.

Raina couldn't help but giggle at how childish it all was. She hoped no one caught it but she exchanged glances with Zelek anyway. She'd intervene if she had too... but she hoped nothing got messy. "come on girls, why don't we just head back to the mansion and cool of 'eh? No need to get angry... we've all just met!"
Both girls visibly bristled, but Raina diverted their attention rather effectively.
"Come on girls, why don't we just head back to the mansion and cool of 'eh? No need to get angry... we've all just met!"
Vibe scoffed, and rolled her eyes.
Then Zelek piped up with his mirror trick. Amp was still staring at Ali, and didn't hear him, so Vibe translated. Amp smirked, her gaze still on the red-head in front of them.
"Don't feel bad Z. It must have been the rear view that cracked your mirror. Of course, the veiw from this side ain't so great either. Maybe the mirror just got confused."
Ali heard Raina but ignored her as she was in somewhat of a show down with the twins. Then Zelek tried to interfere with his mirror. That didn't work either. Ali noticed Amp still staring at her. Maybe she was just as set for conflict as Ali was.
"I didn't think the view could get any worse than it already is."
Amp smiled sweetly and twirled her finger in a small circle. "Turn around then. No, no! Just your head. Look over your shoulder, then down. See that big lumpy thing on your backside? Well, we're not sure if it's a worse view, but at least now we don't have to look at either one."
"Are you sure you two aren't lesbians? Maybe you prefer each other like some twisted incest kind of relationship." Ali was hoping she was getting under the twins' skin. She sure wasn't letting them get under hers. At least she was trying anyways.
Both twins' eyes narrow to slits, practically glowing. This girl just skipped right to the top of their 'grudge' list. The girl was matching them insult for insult, and they didn't like it at all.
"Wow! I must admit I'm surprised!" Amp spat out. "You actually figured out we're related? Well who'd have though there was actually a brain in that lump on your shoulders." She spread her fingers ever so slightly, gathering the vibrations her sister was sending out at high speed.

Raina's jaw hit the ground at the rediculous comments. "Well, I know that *I* want to get back to the mansion" she started singing again and followed Zelek. She looked back over her shoulder to be sure the girls were coming. Her voice in the air was rather soothing. She wondered if it would help cool their jets- if not she may actually have to make a sincere attempt at using her powers.

"Well, it must not take much to surprise you when it takes two of you to equal one brain." Ali was really getting fet up. "You know, you two look like bad Barbie doll knock offs." The redheaded woman smiled as she was now one up on the girls. Though she silently admitted that it was taking the twin girls a long time to decided to use their powers. Maybe she needed to turn up the heat a little.
"I'm sorry. I retract that last statement. I think you more closely resemble the ugly step sisters from Cinderalla." Ali hoped that last verbal assult had set their tempers ablaze. She watched them carefully. Her hands started to feel a little warmer than usualy though she wasn't using her powers enough to cause her eyes to glow. That was reserved for her full out fury.
