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.

>> "M--maybe I can help...you. Y--You know, with...staying on the, um, g--ground."
Aadi blinked in surprise, looking down at the asian girl. "Heh?" The girl was offering to help? How? Aside from attaching bricks to her feet...which probably wouldn't even work, now that she was thinking about it.
"I appreciate the offer...but I am not the only thing that might not stay on the ground." To demonstrate, Aadi's gaze flicked to one side, to a pebble sitting innocently in the grass. It was light enough there was no strain on her already fritzy powers, Aadi watching as it slowly lifted off the ground to float through the air in between them.
"I do not want to scare you again... uh..." Aadi's brow furrowed. "You...stutter? Is that because you are scared, or you have a speaking problem?"

Cool? Aadi had thought many things about her ability, but cool was not one of them. "You...think so?" She blinked. "J'ai pensait c'est...erhm...I think it is annoying."
Carragail...well, that wasn't a name she had encountered before, and Montreal was pretty multi-cultural. "It is nice to meet you, Carragail." She knew she wasn't pronouncing it right, instinctively rolling the 'r's and silencing the 'l' entirely, but names took a bit of practice.
"Maybe...I should go. I do not want to do something by accident." Aadi stood up from the ground, dusting off her pants. "It, uh...means much to me, that you are not afraid. Or screaming, at least. Thank you."

>> "It clearly wasn't your f--fault...you know? N--No need to apologize."
Aadi blinked repeatedly in confusion at the asian girl. Well, this was definitely a different reaction. "I am sorry because it is my fault." She sneezed then, because she still had that pain of a cold.
Sniffling a little, Aadi looked at the girl for a long moment. "You are not scared...or maybe you are. My name is Aadi, I won't hurt you."
That was when she sneezed again, and lifted right off the ground. Aadi dropped back down with a yelp and a flurry of french swear words.

Aadi eyed the girl, slightly alarmed now. Okay, so this stranger had put two and two together and knew Aadi was a mutant of some sort. Why wasn't she running away screaming? Aadi had managed to keep that secret from everyone except her parents, and their reactions were what she expected from anyone who discovered her secret. Said reactions were to run around screaming like headless chickens while Aadi figured out how to get herself back down to ground level.
There was no screaming now (thank God, the last bout of screaming had nearly cost Aadi her hearing), though there was a good degree of stuttering.
"You are not afraid of that?" Aadi asked, confused. "You know I can do that, it doesn't scare you? You will not go into trees if I am not here, it was my fault. I apologize deeply."
Seeing the girl curling up into a ball like a scared porcupine, Aadi slowly crouched back down to eye level. Okay, now she felt really bad. This girl was obviously terrified.

Aadi frowned in confusion, backpack already slung over her shoulder in preparation to leave. Either the girl had a chronic stuttering problem, or she was scared out of her mind. Guess that's what happened when someone levitated you up into a tree.
"No, I am not late. You seem...erhm...mal à l'aise...uncomfortable, so I will leave. I am sorry for scaring you." Before her mutation decided to send her skywards again. She could feel it becoming unstable again, and mentally cursed her roommate for leaving her with no safe place to go.

The girl's stammering was making it difficult for Aadi to understand her, the french girl staring at her blankly for a couple seconds until she'd translated the sentence in her head. "It is no problem."
Good, the teen was fine. Aadi pushed herself back to her feet, blocking a sneeze with her sleeve. This time, the dizziness didn't return.
"Are you sure you are okay?" She asked, seeing the girl apparently nursing injuries from the faster-than-intended fall. Probably a couple from clinging to the tree like a monkey too. "Do you need les bandages?"

Aadi's eyes snapped open at the croaked voice. Someone else? No, looking up she saw it was that screaming asian girl, although she was finally not screaming. She was already awake? Aadi had hoped she'd stay unconscious at least until she could clear the area, but the french girl's head still hurt.
"You are awake," Aadi sniffled, the observation a little redundant. "Are you okay now?" Hopefully she wouldn't remember anything too incriminating. Or run screaming in the other direction so Aadi could just leave.

Wincing and pulling herself up into a sitting position, Aadi bit her tongue to avoid swearing at the concrete that had decided her weight was too much for it. Her fuming lasted for two seconds before she remembered just what had caught her attention in the first place, and her gaze snapped towards the two strangers.
Crap. They'd seen her, she'd fallen right into their line of sight.
She didn't see guns yet, but that was no guarantee of anything. Everyone had weapons now. "You following us?" The older one of the two guys was speaking, the younger one just watching.
Aadi slowly pushed herself into a crouching position, eying them. Still out of her ten-foot range. "No," she replied finally. "I am lost. Who are you?" Her French accent had faded somewhat over the years, most of the travelers she encountered speaking English.

Aadi had half a second to be relieved when the girl finally let go of the tree branch, only to realize that she hadn't let go voluntarily.
Startled and losing her grip on gravity, Aadi shrieked as they both dropped towards the ground. A quick save slowed their descent so they hit the ground more gently than they could have...or, than Aadi could have. The asian girl had a softer landing, right on top of Aadi.
Swearing, Aadi groaned and rolled the girl off of her, sitting up. Her head felt like someone had been hitting it with a sledgehammer. She came all the way out here to rest, not to deal with screaming people or gravity or any of those things she was actively trying to avoid.
"Hello?" She nudged the girl's shoulder, to see she was really out cold. Well, not Aadi's problem anymore, she was out of that tree. Making the girl more comfortable and less eagle-spread across the grass, she stood to leave.
Only to be hit with a wave of dizziness. Wincing, Aadi staggered back to lean against the tree trunk, sinking back to the ground. Okay, a few minutes of rest, then she'd scram.

Oh, for the love of...
Aadi shrieked as she was nearly clipped off the nose and simultaneously deafened. She dropped a few feet before she could regain control, heart in her throat. "Tais-toi!" The french woman yelled back, frustrated.
Being nice wasn't going to cut it. Either she got this screaming girl out of the tree now, or someone was going to show up and see Aadi floating in the air. And Aadi wasn't having any of that.
Grabbing both of the girl's arms, she pulled to yank the asian out of the tree. There was no way to float this kid down if she was hanging there like a monkey, and maybe if she saw she could float herself she would just shut up already.

This was counter-productive. Aadi knew a panic attack when she saw one, having had many herself, and little was going to reach the girl in this state. Reasoning out that she was going to fall eventually anyways wasn't the smartest thing to do either.
Aadi would have rather left the asian up there than give herself away, but...she'd put the poor girl up there in the first place. Guess it was her duty to get her back down, no matter the result.
Sniffling and trying to work past the troublesome cold, Aadi lifted her arms midway. Slowly she started to lift off the ground, carefully since her control was shaky while sick. Dropping the both of them wasn't going to earn her any favors right now.
By the time she'd raised herself to the same level as the girl in the tree, Aadi was feeling the creeping panic as well. Still, she'd been stuck in worse situations before.
"Look!" Aadi held out her hands to the girl in the tree, trying to cajole her into letting go. "See? It is okay, I can help you down." She spoke slowly and clearly to work her way past her horrendous accent.

Aadi could barely understand what was being screeched at her past the sobbing, but she'd already determined for herself that no, this person hanging from the tree was definitely not okay. Wondering how she'd gotten up there in the first place (the branches were high up enough that climbing wasn't exactly possible), Aadi was reminded of the floating rocks and backpack when she'd opened her eyes.
Had she stuck this girl up there?
"Mon dieu...uh...hold on, I will help!" Aadi looked up at the girl helplessly. Help how, exactly? Floating her down would reveal who she was...but did Aadi have a choice anymore? If she'd floated the girl up there, that was already a give away. And all the screaming was going to bring people running sooner or later.
Taking deep breaths, Aadi lifted her chin and tried to focus. Her feet tried to lift off the ground, but she centered her attention on the terrified girl above her only. The sobbing was distracting.
When she felt the girl would be lowered slowly to the ground, and not dropped like a stone, Aadi spoke again. "Listen, stop crying. Let go from the tree."
Aadi's eyes snapped open with a jolt, the various floating objects around her instantly dropping back to the ground. Snatching her hand back when a small rock landed on it, she looked around with wide eyes. What the hell had that been? Screaming in a park was one thing, but that hadn't come from a distance, that had been practically right in her ear.
Standing, Aadi looked around, not seeing anyone. "Hello?" she called, sniffling. Was she blind? She could have sworn...
Stepping around the tree trunk to look on the other side, Aadi was nearly kicked in the face by a foot. Staggering backwards, she looked up at the asian girl dangling from the tree in shock. Where had she come from? "Are you...uh, okay?"
