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.

"Well, I think you'll be a great addition to the group Abyss", she said with a smile to her older brother. She then turned to the others as Mr. King was asking the newest female about her powers. Manipulate light huh? That's pretty impressive. She might be fun to have around she thought. "You don't need any props dear brother. You're a wrecking crew all by yourself."
While Syn was listening to some of the other mutants discussing what part of the plan they wanted to be in she noticed a girl who dressed in black. She seemed to have a similar taste of clothing as Syn and that made her smile. She could be fun to get to know. Maybe they could go cause some trouble sometime. Then she noticed Thorn and that dreadful Eris had dismissed themselves from the room. Syn quickly looked to Mr. King to see if he had noticed that same fact. When she looked at his face she could see he had a bit of an annoyed look. Someone's gonna get an ear full and I bet I know who she said to herself with a sly smirk.
Then her attention was yanked like a dog on a leash as a very familiar voice was heard in the room. Spinning around in her chair Syn scanned the room. Her bright green eyes looking over everyone until they caught a large red man in the back of the room. He looked like he had eaten a cow for breakfast. Not that he looked fat but he was very built and looked as if he could literally walk through walls. When she focused on his face a spark ignited in her mind. This man was her big brother, but she didn't recall him having a scar on his face. She had to be sure though and since she wasn't intimidated by many things she got right up and walked over to the newcomer.
She stood right in front of the big red man and spoke up. "Have you seen sis lately?" She left the question to sink in for a second to see if he knew what she was talking about, but she couldn't help herself and continued with antother question. "What happened to you? Why did you leave?"
Even though she could see that Mr. King was getting annoyed at all the nit picking questions, Syn still had a slight smile on her face when he told her the plan to make humans sick. "Now that sounds like some fun to me. I'm ready whenever you are Mr. King." Looking at Kaz she smiled even more. "Have fun causing a scene."
Syn quietly watched the large sreen on the wall as pictures of the girl mutant appeared as well as information regarding her abilities and her whereabouts. A number of mutants were now in the room and many of them were doing just as Syn was. When Syn heard there would be teams she started to think of what team she wanted to be on. She could easily work with Isabel and Thorn. The three of them had personalities that could go together making an effective force. That is until Mr. King mentioned that poor Thorn would have to work with Eris. That would be interesting to see.
When Syn heard her name called out to go with Mr. King to conduct the actual abduction her eyes locked on Dorian and a smile snaked it's way across her perfect lips. She felt her adrenaline pump up a little making her feel somewhat jumpy. Maybe Mr. King knows exactly what her powers are other than her impressive strength which she used infront of the building awhile ago. He definatley has his resources that was for sure. Then a question formed in her mind and she wanted it answered. "Mr. King, I'm curious as to why you picked me out to personally assist you. Don't get me wrong I'm not turning it down. I'm just wondering what your reason is. I'm also curious as to what you plan to do with this new mutant. You didn't say that was a secret."
Before the small group of young mutants could get outside they heard the intercom boom out with Mr. King's voice. He requested the mutants meet him in a place called the war room. Now where in the world is the war room? she wondered. "Well, guys I guess eating will have to wait for now. Let's go see what Mr. King wants." Syn walked back to the front desk and asked the receptionist where to find the war room. The nice lady gave them directions and they followed them to the tee.
Upon entering the so called war room Syn immediately saw Mr. King conversing with that nasty Eris woman. "Please tell me you didn't want us here to watch you two get it on." she commented to announce herself. "I'm only kidding, so what's really going on in here Mr. King?" Her green eyes scanned around the room looking at the table and the big computer.
After getting her heart pumping Syn wiped her face with a towel and moved on to the weights area. She picked up a couple 50lbs free weights and started doing alternating curls. She wasn't trying to bulk up but instead just keep herself tone and 50lbs wasn't alot of weight for her. Continuing on with some other arm exercises she put one of the weights down and held the second one over her head and then brought it back behind her then back up again. This was done for both arms. Picking up the other set of weights again Syn now wanted to work on her lats so she hald the weights down at her sides and brought her arms straight out to her sides and held it for a few seconds then let her arms back down. This was done for several sets.
Wiping her face again she put the weights away and moved on to the weight bench. She put on 500lbs on the bar and layed on the bench. Stretching her arms a bit she began. The girl picked up the bar and brought it to her chest where she paused before starting her set. This took a little more effort to do that playing with the 50lbs weights. This was where she actually worked on her strength. Her muscles tensed and pushed the bar up then brought it back down.
As she pumped out reps for her first set her mind began to wander. She was thinking of everything that had happened to her since coming to New York City. Finding her hateful sister at Xaviers sister mansion. Lucking out and finding Dorian King opening up Sanctuary. Fighting off some of New York's finest along side Isabel and another mutant who didn't stick around. Becoming a member of The Order and discovering there was more to Dorian that one might think. Going after Jack and taking her to KP. Capturing other mutants and testing them to see what happened when Jack was near them. Fighting Tricity and her goodie two shoes X-Men. Meeting with Hunter and finding a common ground for an alliance against the X-Men. Finally, now being the one in the leadership position of the Order and Sanctuary. She sure has come a long way and done very well for herself.
Syn entered the Gymnasium and headed straight for the tread mill first. Nothing like a good run to get the blood going. SYn looked around and found the place was empty. She was the only one there at the moment. It was perfect. She hated having to wait to use workout machines or the free weights.
Setting the speed to a light jog Syn started her workout. It felt good too. She hadn't had a regular work out in awhile. Her fights with the police and the X-Men were the only exercise she had lately. This was a well needed refresher.
Syn listened to everyone with their input with Kaz taking up the last portion of time. They all had ideas but Syn had to look at things in a new light. She couldn't be her usual self and do whatever she wanted. Not since she had recieved word...
A few days ago Syn had an email message from Dorian. In it he stated that he had other affairs to attend and he would not be around as often now that Sanctuary was up and running. He had decided to place the black and red haired girl named Syn as the new manager of the facilities at both Sanctuary and KP as well as being placed as the new leader of The Order. He made comment of how all of the employees at both facilities have been given instructions to follow her as they did for himself. With this new level of power and opportunity Syn has had to rethink her ways and "grow-up" mentally as well as emotionally. Although, she would still have her own fun when she wanted.
Syn turned to kaz as he stood by the door. Her green eyes were locked on to his gaze. "You have some very good points Kaz, and so does everyone else. However, I don't want to lose any of our members as we are already low in numbers. I'm sorry Issy but I'll have to deny going after the Senator. My dear brother. The thought of releasing a mass amount of Haywire into the water system does sound like a lot of fun, but that would only push the bill to be passed without denial in much shorter time. We need to use the time the humans are taking to debate amongst themselves and prepare ourselves for whatever they might throw at us and fight back to show the weak humans that we truly are superior. Thus it brings us to our current situation. It would be to our benefit to accept the useage of Hunters facility to form a united front with both of our groups focused on a common goal." She spoke to everyone but her line of sight never left Kaz. "As for you Kaz. I hope that you keep any knowledge you have of the Order and it's capabilities to yourself. I don't trust Hunter enough to open all the doors to him."
Taking a deep breath the girl looked back at the others still in the room. "I'm going to my room for a bit to rest but if any of you need me then you know where to find me." With that said Syn slipped past kaz and left the Infirmary enroute to her room.
The look in Syn's eyes were speaking volumes as well as any sword at the moment. Was kaz trading sides to join Hunter? There was a hint to that probability but she couldn't be certain.
"My dear Kaz, I'm not sure how much stock I would put into his concerns. You say you got to know him better than I? So then how would you feel about knowing that I make Hunter nervous? I would be careful if I were you Kaz. If you're planning to or already have joined him then you might want to look into things a bit more. On the other side of things we don't have much for defenses here or at KP so the use of his Labs would prove to be better strategically."
Syn listened to Kaz and then watched him show his watch. "And what exactly did your meeting with Hunter entail? Did he seek you out or the other way around?" She was very curious to hear Kaz's answers. Then she thought for a moment. Why would he give Kaz a watch unless there was some kind of device inside it. Hell, there might even be something within her cell phone. Mentally Syn was kicking herself for accepting the phone without having it checked out first.
"Yes, we have seen the broadcast and you can be assured that we will never surrender to the humans. I'll leave that option to the X-Men." Her tone was very serious and stern. Anyone listening could tell she really meant what she said, but when he mentioned some sort of enforcers all the girl could think of were possibly well armed and well equipped humans.
Thinking of possibly being attacked Syn realized that Santuary didn't really have much for offensive capabilities. It could however lock down like a fortress but what good is that. Then you're just hiding like a coward.
"Perhaps your idea could be a beneficial one. I'll have to speak with my comrades first however. I'll call you back with our answer." With that Syn pushed the end button and the call stopped.
Turning to the others she thought breifly before speaking. "Hunter has offered us the use of his facility Mondragon Labs. He says he has recieved intell about some sort of new enforcers that will be put into use once this registration bill is passed. His tone seemed to suggest that these won't be an easy foe to fight against." She looked around at the others faces to gauge their feelings and listen for their responses.
Before anyone had a chance to respond to Syn's words the cell phone she had received from Hunter began to ring. The ring tone was that of the Death March song. The girl smiled as it seemed Hunter had a sense of humor.
Pulling the phone from her pocket she looked to varify it was him calling. "Well, speak of the devil." She pushed the accept button and put it top her ear. "Well, you sure didn't waste much time calling me. Did I make that good of an impression on you or did you just miss me?"
The mentioning of a new group of mutants did spark interest with her companions. They all asked questiosn but Kaz's questions were very specific. What did he know? Did he have a meeting as well? One thing she did know was that Hunter didn't have all the information about The Order and Syn would use taht to her advatage if needed. Perhaps Kaz had told Hunter some things or maybe Kaz was forced to talk. There wasn't any way to tell at the moment so she had to play her cards right.
"I have met with a man named Hunter Antonescu, and I don't think he's the type to want a girlfriend Amp. He is the leader of a small band of mutants that he consideres to be more of a strike force than anything else. I met him in Central Park and he seems to have knowledge of most of us here and clamis to have more information as well. I do know that his group doen't have much love for the X-Men so we now have an ally that we can use to overwhelm Tricity and her step children and finish off the X-Men." Syn paused as she found herself getting a bit selfish. At the moment the X-Men were the least of their worries.
"I'm sure that they have also seen this announcement and I have every intention of testing their loyalty. Our two groups would be a powerful force should the Government pass their bill and forcefully try to register or capture us." The young girl looked around as her words sent into the others minds.
Syn turned to Amp as she stated her enthusiasm about teaming with the X-Men. She couldn't help but giggle a little. Syn was very glad to have the twins in her group. They made things so much more lively.
Walking over to Amp and placing a hand on her shoulder she then turned to speak to everyone. "I think now would be a good time for me to share some information with you all." The girl paused and looked around at everyone to see who was paying attention.
"I have recently made an alliance with a new group of mutants. Ones who also have a dislike for the X-Men and are willing to work with us as partners." Syn's eyes once again surveyed the room to see if that had gotten everyones undivided attention.
Syn turned to her brother and listend to him. She liked his idea and it was good that Isabel also agreed. However, when Amp suggested sending a special gift to the senator Syn smiled at the idea. "Now that would make things interesting indeed, but instead of trying to find one senator why not send them all a dose of Haywire." Syn's green eyes had a flash of sinister intent when she spoke.
