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.

Ami was gone.
For once, Kealey was glad to see the back of the girl retreating into her house. The ride to her house had been a little awkward, and Kealey was ready to go home. Tonight had been…a lot…and it had been frustrating in more ways than the blond even wanted to think about as she made her way through the streets of New York.
It was way too late to be thinking about all this, she decided as she approached the apartment building where her apartment was. Shin would be there, he’d know how to make her feel better about the whole situation. He always did.
The problem was, how did one go about telling their fiance about what had just happened? She’d already been tired, had gone to do work at the Mansion, had stumbled up on two girls doing things that had no business going on in a library, then stumble upon Ami and her boyfriend doing more of the same.
It made her stomach hurt. Sure, those things were great for the people involved, but geez, whatever had happened to courtesy when there was an empath around….and seriously the library?
Into the building she went, trudging slightly with her helmet handing from one hand as she entered the elevator and hit the appropriate button for her floor. Soon enough, the doors were open and she was unlocking the door to the apartment. Sure, it was a little selfish, but she kind of hoped Shin was having one of those nights where he stayed up late.
Of course, he wasn’t.
Thor watching her progress as she quietly made her way through the apartment, he laid his head back on his paws and heaved sigh. Silly human being out so late when everyone was supposed to be sleeping.
Into the bedroom Kealey went, slipping out of her shoes, debating on whether she should simply try to go to sleep, or if she should wake Shin up. Knowing she’d never get a wink of sleep otherwise, Kealey sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over her fiancé. The sleepy emotions were nice, and for a minute Kealey re-thought her plan, then she sighed and gently reached out to shake his shoulder.

Kealey couldn't help it, when Shin opened his eyes, she leaned down and kissed him. She kissed him, and pretty much just wanted to keep kissing him. That probably would have been okay with Shin, but suddenly Kealey wondered where all the wanting to kiss was coming from...and that reminded her of her reason for waking him up in the first place.
"I had a bad night." she said, maybe against his lips. There were no rules against kissing and talking at the same time after all.

Oh, she knew he could make her feel better. That was the point of disturbing his rest to wake him up, wasn't it? Those hands in her hair were distracting too. What had the problem been? Surely it hadn't been anything that kissing couldn't solve. So she kissed him back again after he spoke, shifting so her hands could mimic Shin's and find his hair.
That sure was a nice few moments.
Then again, kissing had sort of been the root of the problem tonight...kissing and...lots of other stuff apparently.
"I'm glad we moved out of the Mansion." she said, again allowing as little space as possible for speaking, "Teenage hormones are really too much sometimes."

Kealey paused in her kissing to bury her head against Shin's neck. This whole talking about it thing had seemed like such a better idea on the way home. Now...she wanted to stop talking and do more kissing. But...she'd woken him up and he'd asked what she meant.
"Tonight I was lucky enough to interrupt not just one, but two couples in the midst of clandestine meetings." she said. "One set completely unclothed and in the library."
The other had been Aurum's little sister, and hadn't been nearly as bad, but Kealey felt she owed it to the younger girl to not dish to her older brother's best friend. So, she picked up her head and kissed him again instead...just for good measure.

The Asian faked shock with a smirk. "Clandestine meetings," He smiled. "One does not simply walk into clandestine meetings."
A chuckle.
"And two couples? Wow. You really hit the jackpot."
What were clandestine meetings anyways? He could connect the dots pretty well, but... maybe he'd get her to explain it to him sooner, rather than later.
"Kealey, what's a clandestine meeting?" He chuckled into her ear.

Shin was chuckling! He wasn't supposed to be chuckling! But then again...what else was he supposed to do? Instead of minding in the least, she chuckled too and squirmed slightly when he spoke into her ear.
She'd hit the jackpot? Did he really want her to explain?
Kealey knew he did, so she giggled a little, cheeks burning even as she tried to describe it.
"Well...it's people meeting to do...things." she said. Couldn't they just go back to kissing? It was so much easier than all of this.
"Things without clothes...in the middle of the library."

Ohoho. The smirk became... smirkier. "Things like. New Years. And." With a little clever maneuvering and some gumption, he managed to roll and pin her under a kiss. He broke it only to say "This?"
He waited until she'd answered him, before adding wryly. "Are clandestine meetings only in libraries Kealey, or were you blushing too hard to find the proper words?"

Gasp! He'd brought up New Years! That had been...that had been...well, that had been pretty excellent if she was being completely honest. So caught up in the memory, she was, that Kealey was caught completely unawares by Shin's maneuvering and found herself pinned beneath a kiss.
Well this was an agreeable change of events. "Mmmhmmm." she murmured, then grinned as he spoke again, hands moving to Shin's sides.
"Elsewhere too, but that's a whole 'nother story and truth be told, it just doesn't seem all that important right now. " How could it when she was so thoroughly distracted?
"I don't think there's rules for location as far as clandestine meetings are concerned."

If he were Aurum, then right now he might have brought up the severe and utterly inescapable contradiction present in her testimony. So severe was it, so utterly inescapable, it would have been damning and decimating in court. But rather than bring that up, Shin decided that maybe it was time-appropriate to make some corrections and modifications to his previous statement. And so...
Well. She'd said clandestine meetings involved a lack of clothes, had she not?
