Alliances, clans, families, mobs, gangs, all of these groups had formed within Nova City; both among the people and the monsters. Most humans banned together to oppose monsters, labeling them as the main threat and the direct cause of the string of murders that had claimed hundreds of lives to this point. Under Claw, a group gathered to defend themselves, through acts of proclaimed "self-defense", and at times ruthless murder; whether to fulfill a need or to declare a point.
But a third group had risen along side these other two. This group though was hidden in the shadows, hidden from public eye as to not draw suspicion or danger into their own lives. This clan consisted of both monsters who opposed death of all species, as well humans, who felt sympathetic to their cause. The leader of this group was lead by Seamus, the brainchild of the entire operation, but also the coordinator of induction and events. As he was able to scan the minds of others, it was easier for him to determine whether the new member really did support the cause, or wanted to be a rat and tear the group apart. A group built on peace is just generally weaker as a matter of history. But not because the strength of the people within the group, but because those in the group decide not to fight, and would rather die themselves then cause more harm to others.
A silly cause this would seem, but still noble in the least as it was viewed by Seamus. The few monsters who supported him just barely outnumbered the valiant and loyal humans that had joined the cause. This made the group small, but it would grow as time passed, finding others to join was a difficult process. Tonight those loyal to the cause gathered at an old junction, abandoned when the subway had been renovated, but still had plenty of room to meet, and was secluded from outside interference.
Tonight the meeting was mostly humans, the monsters hadn't yet arrived , and to be honest Seamus wasn't sure if any would. But these humans had, and that was enough to him. "It's pleasant to see you all here tonight. We've all met at some point or another, some of us longer than others. But as I've met each of you, I have noticed that each of you have something in common; you want to make a difference towards the path of equality. Politics and media would have us believe full out war will be the only way to tame the other side. But each of you have seen the good in us, and elimination to you is a wrong choice. So tonight I welcome you, because it's an honor to be in the same room as you all."
