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 nodded his head as Alice tried her best to talk some sense into her friend. Iggy knew that he shouldn't be doing those things, but sometimes it was hard to reconcile with what he did to his parents. After she finished giving him advice, the eighteen-year-old mutant simply nodded his head,
"Ésta bien." Iggy sniffed and slowly looked over at his friend. Without saying anything, he through his body over hers in a tight hug. "...Your cold." He muffled against the side of her shoulder.
Ignacio washed the transformation happen before his very eyes. Once the transformation was complete, the eighteen year old mutant started clapping and bouncing up and down in his seat. Seeing this up close and personal made Iggy very, very happy. The more he studied "flaux!Ignacio", the more he saw himself, the more he started to fall in love with his Latino beauty.
"It makes perfect sense! I love it!" Ignacio stood up from his chair and walked around flaux!Ignacio, looking himself up and down. "Oooh! I look good from all angles! No ugly sides at all." Iggy walked back in front of flaux!Ignacio and smiled widely. He then followed him to the couch and sat down next to him.
Iggy couldn't remember who Vishnu was -- other than a Hindu deity -- and doubted that he could pull that out of his Tollan form. Too bad. As he continued to struggle with the head of the metabot, he felt blunt force it his butt. "AH!" Ignacio explained, looking behind him quickly to see what it was. A metabot, of course! With a growl, he hopped off of the current junk of metal that he was one and tackled the other one.
He began angrily hitting the bot in the face repeatedly, cursing in Spanish. Eventually he did enough damage to cause the bot to freak out. After it had enough, he jumped off of the metabot and ran away. Iggy didn't know eactly what he was doing, but he did know was that he needed help. "Shinbo! I don't know what else to do! Please help me!"
Ignacio raised an eyebrow when Allegra said that she knew that and continued on with her jokes. He wasn't sure if she was completely joking, but to play it safe, he chuckled.
>> "I lied. I'm sorry. I know they don't speak Latin in Latin America but I admit I honestly don't know where Colombia is. I'm sorry. I want to learn about your experiences and your culture. That's more important to me than finding something on a map."
"...Colombia's in Latin America. I thought everyone knew that." Ignacio was a bit confused on that. He tilted his head to the side in thought, "well, that's good that you want to learn more and more about my culture. It makes me feel special."
Ignacio watched the conversation between Juliette and Andy with a smile on his face. He knew that the guy was checking him out which caused him to giggle lightly. He didn't need his gaydar to know this. When Juliette introduced him, he gave a happy wave. "Aww! Thank you! I think my name is pretty, cool too." Iggy gave the boy a wink before standing to his feet. He took in a deep breath as he felt the warm Sun on his back. That always made him feel better.
Andy was attractive to say the least, making Iggy bit his lip. His kaleidoscope eyes scanned over his wet body and let out a giggle. Iggy turned to look at Juliette and gave her a little look. "Juliette is a wonderful name." He blew a kiss to his hermana before turning back to Andy. "Seriously, we're glad you're safe. I was afraid that I would have to give you mouth to mouth. Though, I wouldn't mind that part."
>> "I do not go outside...There are flying things and the ground goes on forever. The sky is very... there is a lot of the sky. It does not end."
Ignacio raised his eyebrows at Kalos. "...Well, it's not that scary, Kalos. I know it might feel that way at first, but there's nothing to fear." He puffed out his chest a little and grinned at her. "Chico Iggy will protect you! The carol princess!" He wiggled his eyes at her jokingly before deflating his chest and relaxing his seat.
>> "The light in Atlantis was mutant made. The weather is perfect always. This outside is very changing even between morning and noon."
Atlantis? Really? Iggy blinked a couple of times and turned his attention to the table that he was at. "...Tell me more about Atlantis. I want to know more about you."
"Que?" Iganico knitted his eyes in confusion and let the guy go once they were out of the water. He looked to Juliette, then back to the not-drowning dude. "We are trying to save your life!" Iggy's immediately went back into his "normal" form; the only thing mutated is his kaleidoscope eyes. He turned his attention back to Juliette as she started to try and comfort him.
>> ”We’re not trying to hurt you...Scout’s honour. Ask anyone - I’m the nurse here. I thought you were drowning...I’m Juliette and this is Ignacio. Can you tell me your name?”
"...And I'm the hottest guy at the Mansion." He added with a giggle. Iggy was better now that Juliette was able to at least get him under control. "Just kidding! Sort of."
>> "Um. Alright. Let's talk about that...Tell me about US Bison... Why them?"
"Becauseee I love what they stand for and...I love, love their clothes!" Iggy gestured to himself with a still wide smile on his face. "Plus, I'm gorgeous so why not?!" He bounced a bit in his seat and waited for Ms. Gemma to comment.
Iggy was about to do a fist bump in the air when he felt his legs go from underneath him. His "flaming" body hit the ground with a thud. In quick response, he turned around to look up at the meta bot that had knocked him down. He growled in response and stressed out his hand to it. Multicolored flares shot from his palm and toward the bot's face. This was used to confuse the chunk of machinery while Iggy stood up from the ground. He still kept the flare going before doing the same to another bot. This left two more. Sh*t. The eighteen-year-old mutant stopped the flares and looked at the four bots.
The solar-powered mutant ran toward the nearest metabot and jumped on it. He wrapped his arms around his neck and tried to yank it from its body. For extra leverage, Iggy hugged its neck with his thighs. "Why don't you budge?!" Ignacio said through gritted teeth. "come on, come on, come on!"
>> "He's pretty good at what he does, thanks to him I've managed to keep my grade pretty damn high. He's even been giving me so higher level stuff since classes are a bit easier over here."
Ignacio nodded his head, "I agree! I have him for math, too. I think I'm in the class before yours." He wasn't too sure, but he did see whips of blue whenever he left the class.
>> "You sure Iggy? I know I'm not exactly an open book emotionally but I'm here if you need to talk."
He didn't mean to make their time together turn sour. He also didn't want pity from Alice. Though, she was his friend after all. "...Before I came to the Mansion I..." Iggy took in a deep breath and hugged his knees to his chest. "I accidentally killed my parents. Since then, I've been putting myself in intense situations so that I could get...beat up."
>> "Yup, right through the portal...I meant to return home when it was still night but kind of fell asleep. It's a little public for a dragon to be flying around, so I came here instead."
Ignacio nodded his head slowly. "I see. Well, I like dragons!" The kind that didn't go destroying cities and the such.
>> "So how about you, what's your story? You don't seem especially bothered by the presence of a mutant."
He giggled, shaking his head. "Aw, well...I'm a mutant, too!" Iggy pointed to his kaleidoscope eyes. "See? My eyes are special!"
Ignacio smiled widely a ran his hand through his luscious black hair. "Oh, stop, Alice! You're too sweet!" Ignacio was a little vain in the fact that he loved when people swooned over him.
>> "Maybe, I'm still on the fence about the whole thing and even if we were both trainees, I have a feeling we'd both be under different teachers. Speaking of who did you get?"
"Most likely," Ignacio sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "And I got Professor Shinbo. The Japanese and math teacher. He's really, really cool." Ignacio giggled a bit. He still couldn't believe that he was actually an X-Men Trainee. It was honestly out of this world!
>> "But you seem pretty taken with the idea, you want to get beaten up that much?"
His smile fell a bit at Alice's question. Ignacio knew that didn't mean anything by it, but it still hit him in a hard place. What Alice didn't know was that to try and make up for accidentally killing his parents Iggy would start fights with people so they could beat him up. The Latino mutant simply shook the painful thoughts from his head and turned his attention to his lap. "No, I'm fine."
Ignacio had finished eating his food and was debating gettig up and getting up and grabbing an entire bowl of fruit to snack on. God, he loved fruit. He loved fruit almost as much as he loved name brand clothing.
>> "Is it always so bright every day?"
The eighteen-year-old solar-mutant turned to look at Kalos. "Not always. Sometimes it's all gloomy and rainy, but today it's wonderful! Do you like going outside?" Ignacio asked, cocking his head to the side. "I like going outside."
Ignacio gasped happily when Ms. Gemma spoke Spanish. He was so happy in fact that he began clapping and jumping some. After Iggy calmed down, he peeked hismwld up in his newfound seat and crossed his leg over the other. It was nice to have a conversation with someone who also spoke Spanish. It reminded him so much of being at home.
>> "So... you said you wanted to talk to me about career options?"
"Oh! Yes!" Ignacio cleared his throat and continued taking, "Sooo I was thinking of becoming a model for US Bison! Ignacio squealed with joy. That was all he had to say, really. Simple, sweet and to the point.
Ignacio felt the blast of energy hit him and let out a grunt. A few carbon dioxide bubbles erupted from his mouth and up to the service. Unlike Juliette. Ignacio was simply pushed to the other side of the pool. After he got himself together, he shot toward the surface and took in a few breaths of oxygen. He hoped that Jules was okay. The X-Men Trainee snapped his head to look at the older mutant as she resurfaced. Once again, Iggy was blessed by Juliette's light form.
>> ”I’m not sure what’s going on, but we need to get him out as soon as possible. He could still be drowning,”
He nodded his head. "You got it, Firefly!" Ignacio looked up at the Sun that was shining down and lifted his arms. His tanned skin turned black and multicolored flames danced around his pitch black body. After taking in a deep breath, Tonutiah dove underneath the surface and swam toward the drowning boy. Both of the light that was coming off of the two light mutants made it seem like they were having an underwater rave.
Tonutiah swam around the front of the boy and wrapped his arms around the guy's waist and headed toward the surface. Once the broke the the surface, he made his way toward the side of the pool. "I have him, Firefly!"
