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.

*tricity laughed a bit at mike's comment and touched her stomach as she thought she felt movement for the first time. as if reading her mind, the docprof turned his head from across the room as he tended to the little girl.* docprof: "you alright, delilah." yes, doc. i'm fine. *orion looked down with concern and jumped off the window sill to kneel by her in the chair.* i'm fine, ri. really...
trust me, she can hold her own. gorgon is a very powerful mutant. *tricity answered. at her words, orion began to think about the huge battle on the front yard and when she dove in front of him when ire was about to attack. his anger grew as he thought about the unborn baby tricity was carrying.* orion: "i wouldnt mind tearing each and every snake from her head."
*tricity smiled at him, putting a hand on his shoulder.* dont worry, mike. you did a lot at the zoo. without you, we might not have made it. *orion nodded too.* orion: "she's right. you did good, kid."
you could be right...maybe she feels closer there. *tricity said to him, half-smiling. the little girl woke up and began to cry, not so much from pain, but from what had happened. she finally became coherent as she realized what occured at the zoo. the doc quickly calmed her and the girl fell asleep.* docprof: "she should be fine. she's just scared." *tricity nodded at him.*
and where do you supposed those places are? she's been in hiding for some time or at least disguise. i dont know where she goes anymore. *tricity said to orion.* maybe i can talk to siren...
*though tricity wasnt one for torture, she wouldnt mind seeing gorgon being tortured at the moment while she knelt down next to the girl. the doc grabbed her arm and began to lift tricity up.* docprof: "you shouldnt be on the floor, delilah. you know better than to..." yea yea, i know... *she answered, cutting him off and going to sit next to mike and orion.* i wish i knew where she was. what did you see in her head, mike?
*the lights began to flicker on and off, the doc looking down at her. not realizing it was herself doing in, tricity blinked at him confused.* oh...sorry... *she took a deep breath and relaxed, the lights going back to normal.* if i find gorgon, i swear...
*tricity rushed to her side and looked the girl over. she was bruised all on her arms and legs from being entrapped in the stone.* dammit... *she said, holding the girl's hand. the docprof quickly came over and studied the girl. his hands began to glow and the golden yellow emitted as always while he started to heal her.*
*tricity looked over at orion after his harsh words, but a sudden cracking noise sounded and her attention snapped back to the girl in the stone as the material withered away. the stone exploded into several pieces and the little girl fell limp to the floor. tricity pulled the pieces of the heavy stone aside trying to reach the student as she lay unconscious on the rubble.*
yea, everything about her is odd. she doesnt try to help herself. *tricity pulled up a chair and sat near the girl.* docprof: "well, i think she will be out of the stone soon. any minute now. i cant read her condition too well through the stone. it's just too thick." *tricity could sense he was scanning her to see how she was doing.* i'm fine, doc. don't worry about me...
no...at one point we knew where a lot of the not-so-good mutants were, but not anymore. a lot of them seemed to have disappeared, but are randomly showing up again. there are also new ones coming around too... *she said, thinking of ire and half looking at orion.* how are you feeling better, cassiel?
hey, mike. *she said, turning to him. tricity looked back at the girl.* i dont know honestly. but, i was stoned before and it's no picnic after your free from it. i was really weak. i also dont know if the kind of stone gorgon turns you into has anything to do with how your condition will be after being released...she is a small girl. *tricity sighed.* i would feel horrible if anything happened to her.
mike is a student. i think he's about 18 or so. he's a telepathic, telekentic mutant and he definitely saved our lives. after the encounter, he used a lot of his energy, but he was alright after the doc got a look at him. i dont know where gorgon is now. i think mike put an image in her head that made her quite sad because her expression changed dramatically from rage to longing. she could be anywhere, really... *tricity answered, watching the docprof examine every inch of the stoned girl.*
gorgon of course. we went to the central park zoo and the kids apparently annoyed her...she stoned one of them in the process. *tricity turned her head to where johnathon was resting again.* and johnathon broke his arm trying to catch the student from falling and shattering into pieces. mike and i were able to get everyone else out safely and without much of a scene after the tourists went running from the reptile caves.
*tricity turned around at the sound she didn't recognize and saw orion at the door. her heart skipped a beat and she felt her stomach drop at the sight of him. tricity swallowed hard and smiled at orion meekly. she mouthed 'hello' to him from across the room and nodded as she stayed by the student's side who was stoned.*
