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.

Victoria backed all the way up to her bed where she stopped. The boy had started introducing himself when she reacted to the dogs. She caught his first name but after that it was nothing but glowing eyes from scary dogs.
Unsure what to do she was thankfully saved when Miles told his dogs to dance…Gangnam style? She had heard the song before, but to see these two dogs trying to dance was very awkward in a comedic way. It actually made Victoria giggle as she watched them. If he had that much control over his dogs then maybe she didn’t need to be as scared.
“That’s weird!” Her focus moved back to the boy. She had noticed his hair looked like he walked through a wind storm, but he seemed nice enough. “I’m Victoria and yes I got here only a few days ago.” She spoke somewhat softly with a hint of her European accent. “I’ve never seen dogs like those before.”
Having now been at the mansion for a few days Victoria had met or at least seen several others of the students and staff at the mansion. She had caught glimpses and sometimes full on displays of mutant abilities. The fact that they varied so much continued to amaze her even though she hadn’t really shown what she was capable of except to Chase and Mister Holloway.
Victoria had just started taking classes and so far they were ok, but she really liked her art class with Mister Holloway. He was the first teacher she had met when she arrived, and he showed her around as well as introduced her to Chase. He was a very caring teacher and always did what he could to help her and others.
This night she didn’t have any classes, but she still wore her red dress as she thought she might walk around and possibly see if anyone else was awake. She loved her dresses her mom would get her when they used to go shopping. Wondering for a moment if her mom would send her new dresses while the girl was at the mansion she heard someone at her door.
Sliding off her bed Victoria walked over and opened the door. “I’m in here. Did you need something?” Her red eyes caught sight of a boy standing at her door. Then she noticed two pitch black dogs with glowing red eyes. Someone had put red and green clothes on them which only made them look a bit creepier. She stepped back from the door leaving it partially open with a worried look on her face.
Victoria wasn’t expecting the response she got for Chase. When he told her he wasn’t supposed to be at that time she felt embarrassed. “Oh.” She didn’t know what else to say to that.
Thankfully that topic was pushed away when Mister Holloway played with Chase’s hair. Victoria smiled slightly. Their interaction was kind of cute. She could see they knew each other pretty well.
She briefly looked up at her teacher when he gave a sort of suggestion to the boy. He wanted Chase to show his mutation. Victoria got a bit nervous as she wasn’t sure what to expect. Was he going to burst into flames, or disappear maybe? The possibilities were too many to think of so she just watched and waited.
Before she knew it she was looking at Mister Hollow…wait…wasn’t she standing next to him? Yup! He’s right there! Her face contorted with bewilderment until it was explained to her by the former little boy. Once she realized what he said her red eyes widened with amazement. She was starting to get the idea that she was in for many more surprises in this wonderful place.
“That’s amazing! So you have to have something of theirs first?” She pointed to the watch. She wasn’t sure how it worked but maybe it was a possibility. Chase’s demonstration was so impressive she wanted to show him her ability. “Mister Holloway can I show mine?”
Looking at the boy under the table Victoria couldn’t help but ask. “Did you drop something?” She was willing to help him find whatever it might’ve been because she couldn’t think of another reason why he was under the table if he was thirsty.
Her red eyes watched the boy crawl out from under the table and so she straightened herself up right. “It’s nice to meet you too.” Chase decided to point out his age to the girl. She wasn’t sure why but she replied back to him. “I’m twelve. I just got here.”
Bright young mutants like yourself. She thought to herself. If anyone knew the truth they would probably try to hurt her. Back in her birth country they didn’t take to kindly to her ancestral blood drinkers. Why would it be different now? “I hope you’re right Mister Holloway.” Her voice was soft and just a bit louder than a whisper.
Victoria snapped her mind back to focus on what Mister Holloway was saying as they entered the lounge area. Victoria immediately noticed the television. It wasn’t a show she had ever seen, but she didn’t focus on it too much as her teacher called out someone else. Curiously the girl moved to where she could get a look at this Chase person. “Hi.”
Walking around Mister Holloway’s room more while listening to him she nodded at his compliment to her parents. They really did love their daughter and did everything they could for her. That was the reason for her coming here.
By the time she rounded the room and made her way back to her new teacher he had started explaining about the self-defense classes. “But if I don’t get hurt then do I still have to take those kinds of classes?” She was genuinely curious after all she could withstand being hit by a metal pole. What could someone’s fist do?
Another portion of his statement then brought up another question. “What do you mean not everyone realizes mutants can be friendly? Do other people try to hurt mutants?” Thoughts of people hurting any of her potential friends didn’t sound very good to her. His comment about students using their talents to help sounded like a good thing. She was glad to know there were some who helped people no matter if they were mutant or human.
With the classroom door opened the girl took the gesture and stepped back out into the hallway. “Oh yes please! I’d like that very much!”
That could be interesting and possibly funny. *Tries imagining Miles reaction to her strength and resilience* She might get hungry but she won't go after him. I'm playing it that she has a few blood packs left over from her trip so no victims for her just yet.
P.S. Take your time. She's still getting a tour with Nate.
To hear him say she could do something ‘mighty impressive’ made her feel good. Even though it didn’t take any effort on her part it was still nice to hear. The more time she was spending with her new teacher and the more she listened to him the more it helped her relax and feel more comfortable. She still had tons of anxiety from the big move as well as wondering what the other people were going to be like. But for now she was doing rather well while getting a tour.
Reaching one of the class rooms Mister Holloway opened the door to what looked like a normal class room. She had seen pictures of such places on her dad’s computer when she asked what a school looked like. “I’ve never been in a class room. My parents were teaching me things at home.”
Before she continued her teacher guided her to his class room. Stepping in she immediately smiled big. His room was so full of color. Pictures, sculptures and drawings were everywhere. Victoria walked over to one of the walls that had various creations students had made. “It’s all so beautiful!” She gently traced her fingers over a collage. “My parents didn’t really teach me any of this stuff. I learned things like math, reading, writing and I learned music from my mom.” The girl turned looking back at her teacher with an excited expression. “My mom is amazing! She taught me all kinds of things about music! We used to sing together too!” Victoria thought of her mother and the wonderful times they had singing.
Her moment in the past came back to the present after a brief moment. “Why do the students need to learn self-defense? Do people fight a lot here?”
