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.

Sam smirked at the question, as he buckled up. ”I would love to keep you cool.” once the coat came back on he turned off his mutation but not the air flowing into the cabin.
”You might want to tell me right now if you are worried about phasing out of this thing.” Sam said concerned, ”Be a shame t ditch this jet to grab you.” Sam said joking. ”Buckle up.”
Sam flicked the a switch and the runway lights kicked on illuminating a hallway into the darkness before the rock face that was now opening. Sam clicked and pretended to talk into a microphone as he started powering up the jet. The engines started to roar. ”ughhhh….. ladies and gentlemen.” Sam said in his best lazy piolit voice. ”This is your captain speaking…. Sunny skies here to the mile high club… ughhh should be there in ten minutes…”
Sam gestured to put the fake mic down and looked to Juniper and gave her the thumbs up. ”Ready?”

Sam smirked, ”Take a lot to convince me.” Sam said wanting to play more follow the leader.
When she started to show him colored strings he looked around a bit trying to see where they went. To him it almost looked like spider silk you were passing in the woods and got the right angle of sunlight to illuminate a few inches. Her silk was colored though. Sam studied her arm with the pink spider silk. The tattoo caught his attention as well.
‘these violent delights have violent ends’
Shakespeare. He was forced to study several of his plays for a mission. He would never admit it but he found Romeo and Juliet moving. It was chilly how relatable he the words. He didn’t comment on it but studied the silk extending from her arm and disappearing. ”Threads huh?” he too had a nickname but he was more focused on her powers especially when one showed around his wrist.
Sam stepped back slightly surprised then stopped. He wasn’t being attacked he was being shown his relationship with her, they just met though were they already attached? Or did she see friendship relationships as well?
Sam’s nose twitched as he sniffed and reached for his phone in his pocket. ”That sounds super useful or super depressing.” Sam said walking over next to her unlocking his phone to take a selfie. Apparently this was something everyone did now. This would be his first but the thought of not being able to remember someone was super depressing especially since he had a decade wiped from his mind recently.
”Say Munster.” Sam raised his eyebrows and over exaggerated a shocked face as he put rabbit ears behind Cora. He snapped the photo before she could object if she was going to. ”Cora.” Sam said trying to commit the name to the photo. ”Unless you can delete photos with your mutation I guess I’m stuck with you.” Sam said with a smirk and a shrug. ”So the boulder?” Sam asked looking around for it and putting his phone back into his pocket.

When she slowed down to talk he knew she was just being nice. She could have made it to the top way before she got there that much was clear. She even confirmed his thoughts when she was here daily. ”Boulder course?” Sam asked kicking himself up two handholds so he’d get a little closer to Cora too bad she was already at the top.
”That’s pretty cool!” Sam agreed pulling himself up with a little grunt. Sam was in shape still from years of training with T.A.T. and even his own training after he left he had to stay on the ball incase anything surprised him. Rock climbing wasn’t part of his normal training regiment his shoulders were starting to feel that. So when he sat next to Cora at the top he enjoyed it for a second.
”Smart business decision.” Sam agreed, defiantly keep injuries down if there was a crew of mutants to make the place safer. ”Lazy is bad.” Sam agreed as he watched her start climbing down already. Sam took in the view of the gym one last time from the top. He then looked down and saw that Cora was already halfway down. He could definitely beat her on the decent if he wanted. Though he did saw no powers.
Debating on jumping (he didn’t) Sam turned and started to follow Cora’s path down as well he managed to see her get down halfway so the colored handholds started to stand out as he passed them. Until halfway. Sam foot missed a hold and he dropped to one hand holding him on the wall. ”Smooth.” Sam caught himself and hit his knee against the wall. He grunted and then made up from it by dropping down to another handhold. Then another. Using only his arms he made his way down.
”Clearly need to do that more.” Sam said when he touched to the ground shaking his arms loose. ”So this bolder course?” Sam asked trying to show he wasn’t starting to get sore. ”Also you haven’t told me about your mutation yet.” he said smirking as he unhooked himself.

Xavier had no problem making the shot. It was a good warm up shot for Sam in fact he was pretty sure he was going to miss the shot, he was glad when he didn’t. What he wasn’t ready for was the guys reaction to who he was. Normally he got that reaction from the women of the mansion when his name was thrown out for good reason he was indeed cool. ”Ummmm…. Supposedly. I had help though.” Sam responded having read that information from his older self. There was a water guy with him. Apparently that was enough to at least delay the volcano.
”**** off.” Sam said as he called out his next shot and performed it. This was supposed to be a friendly game. Could he dunk? Maybe. He never tried, could he reach a wall that height while being chased by dogs. Yes. Make the shot between the legs. Nope.
”Didn’t know I was playing with a pro.” Sam said wishing he just stuck to the danger room, no that wasn’t safe either not with Serena there. Maybe he would have just been better in the man cave. Then again that older guy had been showing up a lot telling him to get more beer.
When Sam got the ball he started to dribble went in for the dunk managed to get under his legs then only managed skim the rim of the hoop as the ball went flying in the opposite direction. At least he hit rim. His five year old self would have thought that was cool his current self didn’t. Sam landed and bent his knees slightly to soften the blow.
”Guess that’s an H for me.” Sam said raising an eyebrow hoping this wasn’t going to be a washout. He already lost bragging rights to Serena. He didn’t want to lose them to the new guy who went fan boy on his older self.

The icemancer gave her a smirk when she said maybe she’d play better nicer if he could do the wall without powers. He gave a little surprised sound after she adjusted the belts and then he walked to the wall waving to his belayer. ”Howdy.”
When she called out she was climbing Sam did the same, ”Climbing.” he assumed he was supposed to and before he knew it he was looking slightly up at Cora. It was clear she was way quicker on the start with him. He looked to his first grip then the second. His eyes darted from one to the next and before long he closed a little of the distance with her.
No powers yet but a slight fatigue in his fingers he smirked remembering how they used to be blistered and bloodied from the rocks. Luckily for Sam these were all smooth and rounded. Using his upper body strength more than his legs he started skipping handholds and only to stop when he had to look for the nearest one he could reach. The icemancer was never lacking in the hand eye coordination department but he didn’t feel the need to beat Cora to the top. No he was actually just enjoying the climb. The view also helped.
Kicking off one foot hold and jumping up Sam managed to grab onto one a few feet higher than he was forcing himself to one arm himself up till he could get to hands on the hold. ”So how often you do this?” Sam asked having a feeling he knew the answer. She probably was to this wall as he was to the danger room.

Sam caught the ball then dribbled a few times. Last season… so he had a few years on Sam. The icemancer was already regretting the challenge he suddenly wished they went hand to hand instead of playing basketball at least then he’d feel better about being better. ”Horse it is.” Sam agreed and started dribbling.
He stopped to take the offered hand and gave a firm handshake, nothing that a guy that size would find intimidating but Sam wanted to let him know he was no pushover. ”Sam.” he bounced the ball over to just out side the free throw line and made his shot. He heard the swish before the ball hit the ground.
”No powers right?” Sam asked knowing it would be harder to mimic shots if those got involved. ”Probably not. You look to young to know the older me. Unless you got younger as well.” he paused, ”Older me had an eye patch.” Sam said covering his eye.

The icemancer raised an eyebrow slightly disappointed that she wasn’t free climbing. Though it did make sense. He was still getting attitude from Serena when she whooped him in a session and frankly he wished he didn’t even practice with her. She was far better at light touches than he was.
”Well if I went without a harness I wouldn’t have to worry about falling but… might make it more challenging if I do it without my powers.” Sam shrugged, and grabbed a harness. He wanted to show off his skill for Cora but then again he was getting the feeling she’d appreciate some physical commitment instead of him using his powers to get to the top.
He watched her put her harness on then tried to mimic her. He never used climbing gear before like this. Hooks and a rope no harness. Other than that it was ice. Ice was safer for everyone. One of the reasons he was usually the first climber back in the day. Once the other handlers figured out what was going on he was forced to start doing it without powers. Some of his belts weren’t in the exact right place but he wasn’t too worried about falling. So he didn’t ask any further.
”I would love to belayed.” Sam smirked at the joke. He couldn’t resist but he was sure Cora heard it a dozen times before. ”Couldn’t resist.” he then asked, ”First one to the top?”

Sam smirked shifting his attention back to Juniper who was busy scrolling through her phone. He smirked at the choice of music, ”It only takes once for me to learn my lesson.” Sam retorted with a smirk. He nodded his head when the classic rock started to play. He was vocal and that was why he was easy to please. Just play something that didn’t want to make him depressed.
Shifting his attention between his legroom fro any hidden switches or knobs he looked there were none. Sam looked back to Juniper who removed her sweatshirt. ”Warm?” he asked looking back at the navigation screen then to another one of switches. The jet started with a low hum as he turned on the airflow inside the cabin.
”Or…” his body iced up, ”I might have another idea.” he smirked.

”What you don’t want to box it in?” Sam asked getting pushed and grabbed. ”Hey… buy me dinner first.” he pushed back and then managed to work his way out of a crowd thanks to some abandoned ice armor that was now being swarmed.
Sam rushed to the side of the ship and added some more ice to the ramp that was holding up to the waves. ”Well leader. You play bad music, can’t land the jet. Better think of something. he paused. ”I can cover the deck but if the ship gets a leak I don’t want to trap anyone. They’d be safer below deck.” more people took notice and started to converge on him. He did what any hero would do in the situation and jumped.
Icing up and falling towards the ramp and the side of the ship he landed on the ramp and started to shoot the water between the too trying to form more ice to support the ship. ”I’m sure I can keep this up all day. ”Too bad you can’t pull everything into a reflection.” Sam said grunting from the strain of control he was starting to put himself under. ”Be a big help I’m sure.” Sam said rolling his eyes.

When his name was called he listened to her still excited he finally caught back up with cheerleader. He was never sure on her name, just that he remembered her as cheerleader and their interaction was a positive one in his long bleak run of interactions. What she was telling him however was starting to sound more like a downer.
The other side. He thought of a RHCP song and was tempted to hum it. He didn’t, his shoulders slumped a little when he reached the realization she was hinting at. The rift. The second most confusing thing to happen to him since he woke up a decade younger the first was Atlantis because Atlantis.
”Well, it’s not your fault.” Sam said finally trying to force a smile. Even if it wasn’t cheerleader, Lori. The woman looked familiar and it brought a happy memory of beating a scumbag together with her. Sam debated scooping Zero up in a hug again. It wouldn’t make sense now seeing as he didn’t know her.
Sirens could be heard in the distance. Sam looked up then back to Zero. ”Need a lift?” he said pointing up. ”Thanks for helping by the way. You fight way better than cheerleader did.” he said confidently.

The icemancer smirked at her imitation. He was glad she wasn’t like that, mainly because Sam probably would have been on his bike already. Sam hopped onto his bike when she did the same. She slapped down the her visor and Sam put his helmet. Before he knew it she was already gone. He managed to see the blue flash before it was lost from there it was speed, and not worry about being pulled over. He knew he’d be able to talk his way out of a ticket then he’d have to research all the rock climbing places in the area. No speeding was easier.
After finding the lot (well after she parked) Sam managed to put his bike next to hers in the lot. She said she owned the place, if that was the case he had a feeling she would out climb him. Usually when he was climbing he had to make sure he wasn’t dead tired after, meaning his mutation did most of the climbing.
Entering the building leaving his helmet to melt on next to the bikes he looked around and whistled. ”Massive, place. Didn’t even think to find a place like this in the city.” Sam said truthfully. He enjoyed being outdoors more but if he ever got a climbing itch he now had a place to go.
”Like I said.” he grabbed a pen and reached for the wavier, ”I’ll follow the leader.” he smirked not intending to when it came to the climbing.

”Well you aren’t going to be with that attitude, I’ll stick with Juniper.” Sam said as he stopped forcing the ramp of ice to continue growing. ”Again I’ll stop everything I’m doing, I would have landed it by now.” Sam said as he shifted his weight and almost lost control of his platform do to the waves.
Glad there were no krakens Sam up righted himself using his ice then launching him self up towards the deck. He didn’t get far. The wind was enough to bring him back down to the waves but as one rose he rid the wave again up towards his ramp, which thanks to his powers reached out to meet him. Another launch and he was falling towards the deck of screaming cruisers.
”I will lose my **** if I don’t get to fly that jet. So don’t **** this up.” he said trying to be louder than everyone in panic mode. The ship was rocking less than it was earlier (thanks to him). Sam started to form a platform and as the jet started to drop he heard the music. ”Yeah,” he smirked, making sure there was enough support for the jet. ”You’re playing your last show.” he was only familiar with the music because he was trying to tease a certain princess from Atlantis.
”Stop stepping on me.” Sam said as calmly as he could as people started to round up around him hoping that he’d take them somewhere safe. ”I’ll help you in a minute thank you.”

Still looking at everything Sam shifted himself to the captain’s seat and sunk in. ”Best kind? Still alive, right?” Sam debated on spilling more information but again he was worried about how she would react so he left it at that. His hand ran across the console as he studied everything, there were little labels in front of everything giving him the rest of the map he was looking at earlier.
Sam leaned back in the chair looking back to Juniper, ”No, but I’m up for working our way up to the mile. Maybe a little more?” Sam said hitting a button to the ramp lifting it up. ”Pretty sure there is a speaker system in her somewhere.
He found the cord jax and offered it to her. ”Anything but country. he smirked, ” and no I don’t think can ever forgive you for that.” Sam said as he started to flip some switches, turning on navigation and dimming the lights to the cockpit.

Sam was underwater yes, but he didn’t hear any music. Yes, there was a storm and a cruise ship full of screaming people but there was no music. ”Come on…” Sam yelled underwater expelling a little air from his suit as he inhaled what was left. The ice seemed to hold unfortunately if he didn’t cover the entire ship it would hold for long. Sam’s body started to float his hands still blasting cold to where he could see.
When he bobbed to the top he gasped for air opening his ice armor. To let fresh air in. This also left a chance for water to enter. ”Music.” Sam gasped. And willed ice under his hands till he could pull himself up. Sam coughed a little water up as he climbed onto a platform of ice.
”Prince maybe? Hello?” Sam tapped his hear com to make sure it was working. The sound of screams from the ship was drown out by the wind and waves. Sam felt the ice platform rise and he grunted shifting the shape of the platform into something resembling a surfboard. Sam never surfed however he was a pro when it came to balance and ice slides.
A wave lifted him up and he used the momentum to reach the furthest point of the ice only to shoot a beam trying expand the ramp to help with the bouncy. ”Where you planning on landing that thing?” Sam asked into the com hoping Maya could find some part of the deck that was big enough. He didn’t want to make a landing pad of ice but he could. He just knew if the jet fell off the ship he’d never get to fly it.

”Enjoy country music.” Sam said flatly as he started to walk closer to the jet. He really hated the genre. Even if Juniper would suggest it he would do what he normally did. Tune it out. Why all of the music in the Man cave was everything but country the only thing he agreed with Old Sam on.
Sam nodded his head as he walked up the ramp into the jet. ”Yep, kinda what I did before I came here.” Sam said leaving it as vague as possible. He doubted Juniper would still actively seek him out to hang if she knew what he had done. Most people probably wouldn’t. Old Sam had years here before the information slipped. He didn’t it was still very raw subject for him.
”and no one can fly those well. I can fly this.” he hadn’t yet but he knew he did before he de-aged and it wouldn’t be the first time he sat down and just gave it a shot. Not to mention older Sam left him a little information on the jet. He probably suspected that his younger self would accept the environment.
When he entered the jet he studied everything about it where everything was and if it matched up to the information he had. Sam shifted from the ramp and the seats to the bathroom and then cockpit. Stepping past all the seats he went to the head controls and whistled. ”Damn… She’s sexy.”
