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.

Aura divulged quite a few names in reference to the topic of interest. Most of the names were unfamiliar to Syn, but Pix she knew and Zephyr rang a bell also. Then an important bit of information was given. Somehow this Adapted had taken control of Mondragon Labs and the order now controls it. Mondragon labs were where the resistance had held up during the Registration Act, and were under the command of Hunter Antonescu. Thinking the man had been overthrown Syn didn’t dwell on that topic. “So what’s currently going on there now?”
As Hymn joined the group Abyss and Isabel spoke up and brought up other names along with brief assessments. More familiar names were mentioned, Calley, Shade and another she didn’t know; Forte. That name seemed to aggravate Isabel as she tortured an apple. Something else Syn was able to gauge was how the idea of an Adapted being there apparently made several people uneasy in some form or another. At least she wasn’t the only one who felt dislike towards Adapted’s.
“I know some of those people and the others I’ll have to meet at some point, but all in due time. As for The Order, why have Lori and the Adapted let it become so lazy? When have we ever cared for what the humans think of us? We are the ones destined to rule over this world. We are superior to them and shouldn’t be hiding from them.” There was an intense fire burning deep in Syn’s eyes and her voice that wanted to unleash every bit of fury she had built up while she had been a captive.
Forte, Zephyr and Aurion were all people she did not know. She had met Calley once at the battle of KP and maybe one other time. Aura said nothing but Syn's words reflected her own heart. She cared littile for the current route of the order, but she was order bound to it. Aura was a front line solider not a creature made to kindly collect cash. To make matters worse, now to simply slay a human thug she had to make it sure it would not end up on the local news.
The order was a small army that could bring humanity to it's knees if they wanted to, yet they kept to the shadows. Aura had joined the order for many of the reasons syn mentioned. They were there to rule and what humanity thought of them was meaningless. Dead Humans could harm no one where as leaving them alive or even injured could very often make things much worse for their kind. A human you let hurt a mutant today might well kill them tomorrow.
"I disagree with the order's current direction but Orders are orders. she said with a shrug of her shoulders, though even now she was unsure of those words. Recent revelation's had her questioning a great many thing's about herself and her past. Even now she questioned thing's she once would have lent no voice to. As confuseing as life had gotten Aura was always up for chaos even if she knew she should refrain do to orders.
She was ushered over by the big red man named Venus. There once was a time that they met in the mental ward where he and his brothers sprung her out together with a buglady. Those where the days. Atleast the days where she was really locked up in her own mind.
She sat down across from venus and opened her diet coke. While she was a bit hesitant, she knew that she was safe around the big red brothers. They always where the kinder people around this place. Atleast they where to her. While taking her sip she was asked about the mansion. Venus was a whispering a bit. Probably to not disturb the rest of the group. Or to not pull their attention towards her. They where definantly planning something bad and she wasn't all that bad.
The mansion times where some weird times. She had no clue what she did there and why she stayed there for a while. It was just a spur of the moment thing. "It was fine, i fell in the pool one day." She responded. "Thats about it i guess." She continued and sipped her cola again. "So how about you.....guys?" She asked adding the guys later to imply about his brothers. They where definantly linked somehow.
Abyss shook his head. “Lazy isn’t quite the phrase I would use. Lori has made some strides toward eliminating the need to go out and destroy what stands before us daily, the need for petty crime, the need to take unnecessary risk. We are well taken care of with little to no effort. Little to no effort or opposition. It isn’t that we are going to waste but simply more valued than to be wasted on trivial day to day nonsense.” Abyss smiled, a twisted sinister expression in contrast to his typical warm beacon of a smile.
“She has something up her sleeve that is going to rock this world in such a way that you would have to be a mutant to survive it.” He kept up with what the diabolical blonde was up to as much as anyone could; it helped to have twelve ears on the task. “Think of our current situation as a holding pattern, The tiger stalking its prey, waiting till that beautiful moment when there is no chance for the prey to survive. She I leading us closer to our goal then we have been.”
Jupiter added his two cents in, in spite of having to disagree with Abyss.” All I get to do is smash those stinking Russian mobsters, they are persistent and its keeping me busy, but its useless. I want a goal.”
Venus nodded to Hymn attentively. “Sounds interesting, If you’d like to go swimming on purpose here, we could do that.” Never mind that they might not be able to find appropriate swim suits. “Oh, We have been the same. Syn has, thankfully returned to us. For the most part things have been quiet.” He had a sinking feeling that wasn’t going to last however.
