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.

(( OOC: Set 7/8/2011 ))
It was complete and utter carnage. The corpses lay out all around the kitchen. Empty. Some were still spilling out. And on the walls, something dark was smeared from when things got out of hand. It was a grisly mess. Every little detail told a story. The general summation of the story was: Hyper dogs and kitchen baking do not mix.
Shin had tried to bake a cake. The key word was tried. Thor had said 'Yeah. No.'
Bad Dog. Bad Thor. When Kealey got home, she would see her kitchen. Would she even be able to recognize her kitchen?
On Kealey's birthday, this was not something that needed to be dealt with. On her first real birthday party.
Shin had forgotten to invite people. Thor had made a mess. Shin was busy cleaning. But alas. It was too late in the day for cleaning the house in time, before Kealey got home.
Chocolate frosting was on the walls. Packages of various baking ingredients gaped open, bodies torn, contents spilled and spilling. The mixing bowl was half empty. This was not a half-full situation.
Shin looked to Thor. The dog's tongue lolled out. He did not look ashamed. "Oh, look what you've done..." Shin sighed. He stepped on the trash can lid-raising lever thing. The lid was raised. He dropped an empty carton in. One bit of mess, down. About a billion to go.

It had been a long day all around. A long day at school, a long trip to the Mansion to take care of some issues in the library that apparently only she could take care of, and a long trip home. Well…not really in the grand scheme of things…but it had felt long.
Boy was Kealey tired. Well, not really, but tired of travelling back and forth to places. The apartment was beckoning, as well as the mental image of her boyfriend and their dog. It was going to be wonderful to be home and just relax.
Up the stairs she went, humming in anticipation and digging her keys out of her purse. A few more moments had the door open and as she entered the apartment, Kealey could hear Shin in the kitchen. Was he cooking? Was he making something? She was curious…the emotions didn’t seem like a happy-go-lucky cooking party though. They seemed far more dire. The blond frowned and she entered the kitchen.
”Oh my….” she breathed, upon spying the carnage that was their kitchen.
”Is everything okay?” she added, a smile pulling at the corners of her lips and a giggle bubbling up inside her despite her best efforts to keep it hidden.
There had to be a great story here. The mess…could be cleaned up.

Shin looked up and Kealey lost all intentions she’d had of not giggling. She giggled, and she giggled profusely. There was batter, mix, icing, and everything else involved with cake-baking smeared on every surface possible. It was all too adorable.
Then Shin spoke, and Kealey’s giggling stopped. Happy birth-….she checked her watch. 7/8/2011. It was her birthday. She hadn’t even known.
But Shin had. He’d made her a cake! Thor had helped…and Thor was helping clean up too.
Good dog.
Better boyfriend.
He definitely got cuddle pounced by his girlfriend, who was completely oblivious of all the mess.

If any frosting, icing, or other baking ingredients got on Kealey in the resulting hug from Shin's apron, he didn't notice. All sighs died. All annoyed thoughts of silly dogs making messes were suppressed. By one thought. Yay. He had a girlfriend hugging him. This was good.
Kealey could help him pick up the mess later. It was his gift to her.
Shin focused on hugging. On planting a kiss on his gal.
"You got birthday cake on my Kealey." He noted, still hugging the woman.

The kiss was returned, and Kealey hugged Shin back. Those feelings were much better than what he’d been feeling before. Had he really been afraid of her reaction? Had he thought that she would react horribly? Oh well, if he had thought such things all those notions must surely have been wiped away by now.
She’d gotten cake on his Kealey?
”That’s okay. She doesn’t mind.” she said with a smile, arms still draped over Shin's shoulders, ” You’ve already got cake all over her Shin anyway.”
He got another kiss for good measure.
” Thanks though…I didn’t even remember it was my birthday.”

Shin grinned at her, correcting him, and asking about her present.
He dropped the gift for her in a clipping chipper tone. "What ever you'd like."
Kealey didn't need to know he actually hadn't gone out and hurriedly bought her anything. The cake and the remembering had been a lot on short notice, and all of that had been spur of the moment. This wasn't like Aurum's party, where his little sister had set up something far in advance.
Her present would be whatever she wanted. He would bring her the moon, if she wanted. He'd get it for her, because he loved her that much.

Whatever she wanted? Kealey had to laugh. ”That sir, is a brave proclamation.” She could have started making wild requests, asking for things like the moon. But that wasn’t Kealey.
Kealey stood right where she was, still not concerned with the cake on her or the dog who was slowly lapping up all the mess he could reach. Shin had just told her she could have anything she wanted for her birthday.
A thought occurred to the blond and she grinned.
”I want to learn how to drive the motorcycle.” she said, squirming slightly where she stood.
”AND, I want to go flying soon. It’s been a little while”

>>”That sir, is a brave proclamation.”
Shin knew. Brave proclamations were his specialty. He only kept on smiling. She still had a decision to make.
A decision, she made. Or two. He could do those. The smile slipped into a smirk and a tiny chuckle escaped the Asian.
"While we're at it, I suppose I should learn to drive a regular car... and teach you." He said. "If I'm going to be driving a squad car and all that..."
There was the sound of paws squeaking. Thor had found his way up onto the counter.

A car seemed rather large for New York, but Kealey wasn’t going to complain. Shin had agreed to teach her. What she did with the knowledge would be her decision. ..and she was going to get a bike of her very own and ride it around town.
That was later though, for now she got the simple thrill of learning how to drive.
Her grin was endless. The day’s little trials and tribulations had melted away.
Nails squeaked and blue eyes widened as Thor continued his cleaning frenzy…only now he was on the counter.
”THOR!” Kealey exclaimed, more out of surprise than anger.
”Get down!”
The dog looked at her and tilted his head. He was cleaning up.
