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.

Sarah laughed at Ginas’ words of wisdom and Gina grinned and chuckled as well. It was true. Gina had encountered more thugs in New York than she’d ever done so in her whole existence. It was something about being a mutant in New York City.
“No biggy,” Gina said placidly from the back seat, letting out a quiet yawn.
“I live to serve,” DocProf cordially echoed, turning a twinkling-eyed gaze on the human passenger.
It was all a mistake, on Gina’s part—an accident, a kneejerk reaction. And DocProf truly was a humanitarian. Any excuse for him to help his fellow man, he would do so, and he seemed to enjoy it. Except when helping his kin meant chastising students for breaking curfew and getting shot.
An inquiry sent Gina’s way broke her reverie, and the gargoyle looked.
“Favorite color and object…?” Gina paused, contemplative, “Pink… and, uh… my sewing machine! You?”
Gina was okay with small-talk. She did it very well.
Sarah waited for her slightly strange questions to be answered. She was trying to get her mind away from the 'what ifs' that seemed to want to capture her attention. Talking, whether normal chitchat or girl talk, would usually do the trick.
>>“Pink… and, uh… my sewing machine! You?”
Smiling at the girl, she answered. "I'd say either green or brown. It all depends on the day I suppose. I love my paintbrush set like it was my baby," she giggled.
She lightly wondered if DocProf would be upset that the two girls were excluding him. She looked over to him to see a smile on with weathered face. He seemed to be alright with them chatting.
The brunette thought of another question, but it seemed rather personal and she didn't want to pry. So, she rerouted her mind for something else to say. "So do you sew your own clothes?" Okay, that was kind of personal. It was out in the open though, so it wouldn't be taken back.

Gina nodded her head to show that she was listening. Green or brown, and her paintbrushes. Cool. Gina tilted her gaze out the window, feeling the rising anxiety about being holed-up in the car. Her claustrophobia was beginning to gnaw at her, even though she had the entire back seat to herself. She wanted to get to the Mansion, and quickly.
The gargoyle tucked a talon in-between her lips and nibbled it, when Sarah tossed her another inquiry. Did Gina make her own clothes.
“Yeah,” Gina said simply, “Or I buy them then modify them to accommodate the wings and the tail. Sometimes, I have to modify pant legs, for the feet, if they’re skinny-legged.”
The inquiry got Gina talking a little more fluidly. If there was one thing Gina could talk to anyone about, it was clothes, “Mom owns a clothing store, so I learned how to sew young. It’s a very useful to skill to have, when you’ve got a mutation that you can’t tuck away.”
Sarah listened to the girl's explanation. It was understandable. Most clothes wouldn't fit the gray skinned girl on a regular basis. The brunette wasn't sure what she would do if she had a mutation like that. It seemed like a hard thing to cope with. Though, this girl seemed to be fairing rather well.
"Do you sew for others? I mean, there must be tons of mutants who could use a personal seamstress," Sarah said with a light tease to her voice.
The girl was talking a lot and that made the brunette feel better. If she could keep her talking, maybe even Sarah herself would forget the night's bad beginning. The brunette shook the negative thoughts out of her head so she could pay attention. Thoughts of the sort she was having weren't meant for a conversation as nice as this.

Gina smiled and gave a nonchalant shrug.
“I sew for people if or when they ask,” Gina replied, “I’ve kind-of always wanted to do alterations for a living—for the visibly mutated, of course.”
But, very rarely was Gina asked—she would either make the offer herself, or the other mutants were too proud to receive such help, or too stubborn. Others didn’t even wear clothes, for they didn’t need to, or just dealt with whatever they could get.
Yes, visibly-mutated sorts had just as much particulars with their clothes as humans did, if not more.
>>“I sew for people if or when they ask. I’ve kind-of always wanted to do alterations for a living—for the visibly mutated, of course.”
Sarah nodded at the answer. She looked out the window to see an area she knew was close to her apartment. Depending on traffic, they would be there in a few minutes. She looked back to the girl with a smile on her face.
"You should open a clothing store some day. I know a few people who would love to have specially made clothes," she stated. "Though that's only if you'd be willing to work with a less... needy bunch."
She was joking, about the needy comment. The people she had spoken of were very picky and demanding. She wouldn't wish them on anyone. However, she herself would probably buy a few things from the gray-skinned girl.

Gina shrugged a shoulder in response to Sarah’s idea, quirking a half-smile. Making clothes designed to accommodate the mutant population seemed a fine idea to her, and what she wanted to do—Sarah was proposing a clothing store for humans or human-looking, which was an idea that had never dawned on her.
“Maybe,” the gargoyle said noncommittally, “But humans already have enough boutiques for clothes—I’ve yet to see a mutant-specific business, spare educational institutions… could be good for business to have a fallback, I guess, though.”
Gina glanced out the window, letting the ride fall into silence.

The brunette nodded slowly as she took in the other girl's words. Her words made sense, in a way. Sarah had never seen a store for mutants and mutants alone. It seemed like it would make quite a bit of money, if word stayed quiet. She herself wouldn't know about a store like that unless it went public.
"You can just drop me off here if it's too much trouble getting on the street," Sarah stated when she noticed that DocProf was having trouble getting onto her street. "It's just around the corner and I'm sure you two want to get home."
Even though the ride had been nice, the brunette didn't want to keep the two for any longer than needed. Traffic around her street always went slow at night, something she had forgotten about. Due to the fact she was usually walking, the vehicle traffic made little recognition in her mind.
