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.

>> “Aw, Akshay,..Thank you!”[/color]
He beamed. He was glad that she liked the idea of it being a gift. Honestly, he just didn’t feel comfortable making an old friend, especially one as good as Alma, pay for something like this. After they had been separated for so long, he must have owed her years and years of birthday presents, congratulation gifts, etc., it was the least that he could do! Actually, the least that he could have done was allow her a free comic of her choice in the shop! But hey, he is still trying to make a living here.
She flipped through a couple of quick pages and Akshay smirked. He wondered what she thought of it already, but he wasn’t going to pester her. She would eventually tell him, if she had decided to stay after all.
He could always give her his business card! That way she at least had a way of contacting him! But just as he was thinking these thoughts, he paused when he turned to see the expression on Alma’s face. She suddenly seemed…unsure. In her voice, and words, that thought was proven…
>> “Are you sure? I wouldn’t mind paying for it—It’s very well-drawn.”[/color]
The wordsmith chuckled heartily as he shook his head.
“Haha, well, if it makes you feel any better, we can say that your flattery earned it,” he winked slyly. If anything Akshay was pretty susceptible to nice compliments, but in all honesty, he really just wanted to do something nice for a friend. Alma was as close to a real friend as he had back when he was a kid in foster care. The least he could do was show his appreciation in some way. “Seriously, keep it,” he said with a firm nod. “That way, if you ever have to skip town, you have something to remember me by.”
Leaning back, he waited a bit for Alma to finish looking over the comic before he finally decided that she was still a customer. Obviously she came in here for her own likes, and probably had her own series that she liked to follow, so he still needed to treat her as a patron. It was weird, though, treating someone you’ve known since forever as just an everyday customer.
He smiled broadly and stepped away for a moment. As he approached his desk, he leaned over the counter, almost comically so since he seemed too lazy to walk around through the opening, and pulled out a business card from the stash he had back there. Once he fished it out, he quickly jotted down his cell phone number and returned to Alma, brandishing it as if it were extremely valuable.
“Here,” he said with a nod and handed over his card. “That way, if one of us disappears again, we can stay in contact this time…you know, if you want…”

Alma grinned as Akshay assured her that she’d earned the comic with her flattery. The young woman was familiar with such a concept—she was good with her words, good at using them to get her things… but however unintentional, apparently it had earned her a comic from a friend. Alma arched a tentative eyebrow, but Akshay caught the expression and assured her once more. He meant it.
“Thank you,” Alma said once again, bobbing her head faintly as she surveyed the gift. She tailed after her friend towards a desk, a swarm of bodachs ebbing around her feet as she went. Akshay circled the desk, fishing out a small card and flipping it over. Alma smiled as he scribbled his number on the back, before proffering it to the young woman before him.
>> “Here. That way, if one of us disappears again, we can stay in contact this time…you know, if you want…”
Alma gently took the card, surveying the number that was written on its front, before flipping it over to survey the handwritten note on the back. Would she ever call him? She was on the run, would eventually have to get a new phone, when she had the funds to. But she was trying to cut ties and pull a vanishing act, not reconnect. Yet… Akshay was on a different sphere from the Quebecois friends. Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to stay in-touch with him?
“I’d love it,” Alma assured her old friend, grinning, “Once I get a number with local service and a local area code, you’ll be the first person I’ll call.”
She slid the card into the right-front pocket of her jeans, still wearing a bit of a grin as she said, “I think I saw the next issue of a series I follow over there, so I’m going to go snag it lest I forget later.”
Alma then dismissed herself to retrieve the comic.
