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.

Parties were something that Kealey was always down for. People tended to be happy at parties, and giddy, and excited. The general good feelings always made them something she was pleased to be a part of. It helped when her own feelings were so very similar. It was almost like an artificial buzz, literally being drunk on happiness.
The blond wondered how long that was going to last as she looked down at the rings on the fourth finger of her left hand. There were two now, one that had been there for almost a year, and another that was still quite new. The second one was special, Shin had made it for her. With his mind. It wasn't like the sword, or the armor, or even like porygon or the flying tortilla chips. This construct stayed where it was. Just like his did. He'd slipped it onto her finger, and it had fit like a dream.
The rest was a bit of history, and now they were going to their very first police ball! Kealey loved any opportunity to make herself a fancy dress, and this occasion was no different. The dress was navy blue and satin and it clung to her body in all the right places to look elegant without being overly ostentatious or risqué. The dress was short, but not too short. It was low cut enough to be fashionable, but not over-the-top, and Kealey had let her hair stay in its natural ringlets, the sides simply pinned back so they fell lightly on her shoulders.

His arm slipped into the crook of hers, an answer to her simple question, and led he did.
She looked amazing, in her blue dress, with everything just right, a fact his emotions certainly made clear. He'd opted for a simple black suit, a nice tux, not over-the-top, with a black bow tie and a white shirt that showed under the dress jacket. Kealey had made her dress, and him? He'd made his suit. He was getting good at that now. Better than he had. He'd really been practicing the whole 'focus' thing. He'd had to. The occupant on the fourth finger of his left hand spoke testimony about that. This suit, he had made with his mind. Much like the ring.
He released her, catching one hand with his as he did, and turned her to face him, giving her a single turn as he did. The music was right, and it felt like way too long since the last time they'd danced and he'd seen her in this sort of dress.
"Absolutely," He grinned, perhaps a bit too late on the response to the question? Several moments and moments of leading late. But that was the point. "You look amazing," he added, just to reiterate a fact.

Shin led Kealey to the dance floor, and she beamed the whole way, spinning when he spun her and wrapping her arms around his neck as he pulled her close. They were way past the point where they observed formal dancing conventions, and being close was far more interesting. Besides, it was hard to talk on a dance floor when you were too far apart.
In fact, had they had more space between them, she may not have heard his compliment. Somehow, she smiled even more brightly.
"And you look incredible." she said, lacking words to adequately describe the wonderful spectacle that was his tuxedo. "I can work on designing my entire life, and nothing I ever make will be half as cool as the things you dream up."
This whole police gig was pretty great, the blond decided. They never got to have balls at the Mansion.

Shin grinned. Well, technically, he was already grinning, but like Monkey D Luffy, he could always grin more.
"Of course," He agreed. Was he cocky? Or... "But the stuff you make is still pretty goddamn great." And that said, he swept her up into the dance.
And so they danced. And made everyone jealous.
"With the looks people are giving us, maybe we should take a break eventually and say hi to the mayor or something?" Shin suggested with a laugh. He thought about it for a second, laughed, and decided "Nah. Let's give this dancing a few more minutes, and then grace him with our presence."

People really were jealous. Kealey could tell because she could tell how everyone in the room was feeling. Tonight it made her smile. Everything lately made her smile. Especially Shin's compliment.
"Even if most of it isn't anything you could wear." It was true, she'd tried her hand at men's clothing, but the best she could do was the stuff for work and that was always required to be understanted. Nothing like the women's clothes Kealey liked to make.
Shin suggested that eventually they should stop dancing and go to talk to the mayor. Kealey was fine with that, through work she'd gotten to make a dress for his wife. They were nice people, as far as politicians were concerned. Dancing really was nice though.
So she snuggled into her husband's[/color] chest and continued to sway, content to stay that way until he moved her elsewhere.

They danced a while, after that. Swung by the punch bowl, had a drink, and met the mayor. Talked about the X-men and MRC, made some more comments and got on his good side. Met his wife. Learned about the guy's kids. At one point, Shin glanced towards Kealey with a cheesy grin and said they were planning to have some of their own, some day. Then, it was back to dancing.
He introduced his new wife to several police-folk he'd met before, met some new ones, and they had a lot of fun, but apart from talking to Ashton towards the start, they didn't get a chance to see him or his redheaded partner again. Shin thought nothing of it.
Eventually, the night wound down and it was time to fly home. Shin decided against it, opting instead for a cab. It seemed someone had spiked the punch. Someone had gotten in trouble, and the bowl had been swapped out. The two of them left the party as their new friend, the police commissioner, yelled at some poor guy in the background. The pair went home.
As they entered the appartment, Thor's ears perked up. He looked at his food bowl. His tail wagged. Shin barely noticed it as the two of them entered, him leading Kealey along, hand around her lower back, shoulder pressed against her's. "What'd you think of the party?" He asked. He paused a second to break the contact, putting some food into the husky dog's dish.

The night had been fun. Kealey still wasn't over the novelty of being introduced to people as Shin's wife. Every time it happened, and every time she felt the way he felt when he said it, made her happy all over again. And so the night had proceeded.
The officers who had gotten in trouble for spiking the punch hadn't been nearly as contrite as they'd tried to appear when the commissioner was yelling at them, but Kealey kept their secret and even gave one of them a conspiratorial little wink as she and Shin had passed by.
The ride home was nice, and opening the door to their apartment was even nicer. Thor was there to greet them, and Kealey shrugged out of her coat as Shin went to feed him.
"It's definitely the sort of thing I could get used to." she said. "I might have to stop turning down invitations from work."
As she spoke, the blond made her way to where Shin was and slipped her arms around him.
