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.

A black Jaguar pulled into the parking lot in front of the zoo. Hairpin got out of the passenger's side, Dafi hiding inside her red-orange kimono. Hairpin hopped slightly up and down. "Come ooooon!" the little girl said waiting for Dari to exit the car.
I wanna see the big cats!" Hairpin said to Daria with a bright smile. Dafi poked her head out of the neckline of Hairpin's kimono. "I wish I could hear you." Hairpin said softly, looking down at the bunny. ~Can you tell her I wish she could could hear me too, Daria?~ the bunny asked in Daria's head.

Daria grinned. "Big cats it is!" she said looing at the signs to lead them there.
"Oh," she said feeling Dafi in her mind. "She says she wishes she could hear you too, Kit-kat. But don't yall worry, I told you only smeel sick. You still have your powers." she relayed the smae message to the rabbit.
"I miss moving my hair the most." Hairpin said as the walked. A bear roared in an enclosure nearest to them. Hairpin latched onto Daria's arm instinctively. She was very scared without her powers. At least being near Daria made her feel more safe.

Daria grinned.
"Or we could bring that back for Mike." she laughed. "Its okay, Kit-kat, the animals aren't gonna hurt you. Look." she pointed to the display with a couple of leopards in it. they'd finally come to the Wild Cat section. She led the girl over to it, right up to the glass.
Hairpin smiled as she watched the leopards. She watched them for awhile, then pulled Daria over to the panthers. "I like these ones the most." she said, pointing at the panthers. Hairpin watched them for awhile, a confused look on her face.

Daria smiled, watching the Cats as well. She read the caption near the window. "Panthers are solitary animals. They usually don't travel in groups like lions. The mother travels with the cub until its old enough to go out on its own. They are solitary creatures. I never knew that." she said.
The cats in the glass case were beautiful and their coats shone. One walked up to the edge and looked rigt at Hairpin, pressing its nose up against the glass.
Hairpin smiled at the beautiful creature, and Dafi popped back into the kimono. Hairpin looked up at Daria. "I wish they didn't have to be in cages for people to appreciate them." the little girl said.
(something i believe in too, that animals shouldnt be caged up )

Daria nodded agreeing with the girl. She couldn't communicate with the cat but she did remove her sunglasses to reveal her feline eyes. She made contact with the creature for a minute and they stared at eachother as if sharing some very important wisdom. Then replaced her sunglasses on her face.
"Yeah, I do too. I think humans get way too selfish and act as if animals are lower than them to the point where they can just own them. But you can't own another living creature." she pressed a hand against the glass and the panther glanced and walked to the other end of the display.
Hairpin's eyes darted from each display case as the walked into the reptile section. A soft whimper could be heard as she clutched Daria's arm tightly. Snakes were as scary as Blunderbore, more so, actually. Dafi could not be seen because, since she was a rabbit, she too didn't want to be near the snakes.

Daria smiled. "You know, when i was a little girl I used to hate lizards. We'd go to Atlanta during the summer, deep in the south near like swamps. They used to have salamanders there. To me they were all lizards but salamanders are actually really cute." She laughed.
"I had to go under a rock to find one. It was soft and slippery...but it wasn't scary." She pointed to a display of garden snakes. They were small and green. "These are the least harmful and the lest scary, look."
Hairpin peeked out from behind Daria, peering at the small snaked. "Those ones are ok." she said. "But I don't like THOSE ones!" she added, pointing to a large enclosure with two Anacondas in it.
