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.

Ignacio never played with more than one person before while video gaming. It would certainly be an interesting experience. "What level of difficulty do you usually play games? I'm guessing something along the lines of medium to extremely difficult." If Alice and Gamerland was as badass at gaming as she let on, then she must've started games on "hard mode". Ignacio himself liked to go easy, then if when he got used to said game or wanted to challenge himself, then he would put the game on "medium/intermediate".
"Haha, I know exactly what you're talking about. There has been a couple of American football players who have looked at me with confusion on their face and saliva in their mouths." Iggy giggled at the distant memory and leaned his side against the back of his seat.
What did Ignacio do for fun? Heh. "Welll, I play volleyball, futbol, I also draw, paint, sing, and other things," Ignacio shrugged his shoulders, "also getting pampered. I love that to no end."
For the very fact that Juliette didn't right Ignacio off and tell him that he had no reason to feel a certain way was helpful. It was helpful in a way that gave Ignacio the choice whether or not to feel guilty for manslaughter. Not only that, she was offering herself as a source of emotional and mental relief. Ignacio grabbed a couple of more pieces of chocolate and stuffed them into his pockets. Those were for later.
Once the glass was set back in front of him, the young mutant picked it up and chugged down half of it. Afterwards he sat it down on the edge of the desk and huffed, he could deal with telling her how she felt.
"...Tired, embarrassed, wanting mango slices," Ignacio thought in Spanish, but decided to say it in English. "I honestly don't know what to think anymore. I mean, what do I do? I...I punish himself enough." He huffed out with a shrug of his shoulders, "I also volunteer at Sanctuary. I even helped a little boy with his homework the other day."
Ignacio laughed bit, "no, no. The fruit isn't square! It is just the way that it is cut," he explained with a shrug of his shoulders and a charming smile. He pulled out his phone and searched for pictures of cantaloupe. Once he found a good of the melon, he showed Kalos. "See? It's naturally round, but people cut it in squares so that it's easier to eat." Ignacio felt good educating the little squirt about different foods.
"Ahhh. So tárta means tart. Gotcha." Ignacio chuckled and ate a couple of squares of cantaloupe.
Ignacio quickly put the front of the car down and ran to the driver's side of it. She couldn't be dead could she? Ignacio hoped not. He opened the door feeling drained after going into his Tollan form while the sun was down. "Martha?!" He called, trying to shake her by her shoulders. "Martha, wake up!" He lightly slapped the side of her face. "See, this is why you needed to stay the night, Señorita." He sighed and tried to remove her from the vehicle. Once he was able to get her out, he carried her bridal style toward the Mansion's front door. Looks like she was staying the night after all.
"Ugh, guys," Ignacio rolled his eyes, "but, yes, we should totally play Lucifer 3 together sometime. I'm guessing you're either the Huntress or the Brute. I, myself, is more of the Socresser type." He scratched his forehead with his manicured fingernails.
His eyes grew wide when Alice told him that she was "the" cool gaming lesbian of the Manson. He couldn't deny this. Facts were facts. "Oh, same except everyone knows that I'm the Mansion's pretty boy who's sexuality is questionable." In fact, Ignacio was so skilled in having people questioning his sexuality that he was able to trick himself a couple of times.
"...What did you do with her? Put her in a suitcase and hide her in the attic?"
Ignacio darted after her like a bullet. She wasn't about to get away from him that easily. "Martha!" He called after her. She somehow was able to make it out of the door and across the lawn, but Ignacio was persisted as well as fast. "Martha. stop!"
When he saw Martha try to pull out, Ignacio picked up speed. She wasn't healthy enough to drive let alone do what she was doing. Iggy gasped when he realized that she was headed for the woods and immediately activated his Tollan form. His skin turned black, his eyes glowed orange and multicolored light surrounded him. Doubling his speed and strength, he grabbed the front end of his car and tried to stop it.
So, Martha was calling his bluff, huh? Ignacio rarely bluff unless it came to his powers. The teenager watched her walk away before getting up and going after her. She was going to stay there whether she liked it or not! Though, this could be chalked up to false imprisonment, he didn't care.
"Hey, you! Did you take my wallet?!" Ignacio asked as he patted down his pockets. He had this wallet, but this was all apart of him acting as if she did. "You took my wallet didn't you! After I tried and help you?!"
The Sun was shining and the birds were chirping so Ignacio decided to play only an hour's worth of Lucifer 3 before heading out to enjoy the sunshine. He slipped on a pair of khaki shorts and a pastel orange tank top and headed out the door to the Mansion's grounds. Ignacio would've grabbed a pair of sunglasses too, but he decided that he would show off his kaleidoscope eyes.
Once outside, he looked up at the Sun and smiled brightly. Whenever the sun was out, Iggy felt a lot better than when it was hidden or on the other side of the world. Nonetheless, the teenager made his way to the volleyball court.
When he got there, Ignacio kicked off his sandals and walked into the sand pit. Grains of sand made their ways in between his toes as he walked to grab the volleyball that was laying about after the older students had their game. Now it was time for Iggy's turn.
Ignacio had to pull out the big guns. She needed to at least stay the night and get a good rest before leaving that morning. With a quick sigh, he decided to play hard ball. "It matters. Everything matters." He shrugged his shoulders again.
"...And you're staying the night and if you don't...I'll tell that you stole from a man." What? Ignacio may be a sweetheart, but he's also manipulative. Just another trait of his.
"So what are you gonna do then? Just wander around and not have a place to be or starve o-or worse!" Iggy exclaimed, flamboyantly throughing his arms up in the air. He was happy that he was able to get Martha to a warm place, but what would happen to her after she left? Luckily she didn't have a visible mutation so she didn't have to worry about hecklers, but still.
Ignacio chuckled and shrugged his shoulders, "I dabble every now and then. I play Lucifer 3 a lot." He loved Lucifer 3 almost as much as he loved playing Smis on his laptop. He wiggled in his seat a bit and kept eye contact with Alice in Gamerland.
"Ahhh, can you like, log in people as characters?! That would be so cool!" Iggy clapped a couple of times out of joy.
"You have to show me sometime after class is over. We can play games or whatever you want. You just have this...cool, gamer lesbian vibe that every cool guy like me needs." He giggled and turned back to his paper.
The square one? Ignacio studied his plate before knowing what she meant, "the cantaloupe?" He asked with a tilt of his head. The mango on his plate didn't really classify as "pale yellow". Ignacio loved both kinds of fruit along with others that was on his plate like watermelon, grapes, kiwi and plantain.
"Tárta? Is that strawberry in another language?" He asked with a smile on his face. He resisted the urge to poke her and instead popped a couple of grapes into his mouth.
Ignacio laughed, "no, Kalos, oatmeal is good! Especially with honey! You have to try it."
Ignacio was so used to hearing that. "I'm sorry", "I'm sorry for your loss", "it isn't your fault", "you can stop hugging me now", all of it. He no longer knew how he was supposed to respond so he just huffed.
>> "Ignacio, mutations can't always be controlled or contained... I can't... I can't tell you that you shouldn't feel guilty or that you shouldn't let it affect you, but you can't let it control your life."
He knew what she was saying was true, but it was hard for Iggy to come to that conclusion on his own. To himself, he was a problem. A huge problem. With a sigh, he closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. What if this was his punishment? To feel guilty about killing his parents? He didn't know and thinking that much about it made him feel uncomfortably hot.
>> ""If there's one thing that I've learned, it's that keeping guilt inside is only going to make things worse. You need to let it out and then take steps to get past it."
"...I know." Iggy whispered, "I know, I just don't know how..."
"...someone who's starving," Ignacio answered after a few seconds of silence, "at least your power is pretty cool." He slowly shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe you could go to Sanctuary? I hear that's nice! Though, humans there keep disappearing..." Ignacio huffed and looked over at Martha, then around the room. It was dull, but obviously that was the point so that someone could make it there own.
Ignacio hesitated for a bit and studied her closely his kaidescope eyes. He took a hazardous step into the room, then another and another before he realized that he wasn't in any immediate danger. The teenage Sun god sat down next to her on the bed and crossed his legs.
"...I hope you don't have explosive powers," Ignacio ran his fingers through his hair as he tried for a smile. He studied the side of her face again. "What can you do?"
