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.

Ty looked back at her, and he felt a tug at his heart. The way she asked almost brought tears to his eyes. It was the sweetest tone she'd ever used. It made him want to just scoop her up in his arms and hug her. But he knew as it stood, that would probably end in a bloody and horrible death for him.
"No problem," he said with a sweet smile on his face. "Actually...I'll do you one better than that. Wait right here." With that, the redhead turned and disappeared. Ty had to have been gone for about five minutes, but it was at that point when the tree suddenly lit up, red and green lights sprinkling the Christmas tree, flashing in a nice little pattern as the globe on top lit up blue and green, and started to spin slowly.
When Ty came back, he put a hand on her shoulder. "There. Now we can enjoy it the way it was meant to be seen. Sorry if I seemed to rush...we can stay here as long as you want." He removed his hand, putting them in his pockets as he looked at the tree. It really was beautiful, but it reminded him of home. After his Mom passed, Christmas wasn't ever the same.
Tses watched as the tree lit up, and her mouth dropped a little as she watched the lights some to life. The globe on the top started spinning, and there it was: the Christmas tree she never had. When he put a hand on her shoulder, she didn't shrug it off, she just gazed at the lights and the tree, and let the little smile crawl it's way across her face. She understood the magical little piece of the holiday this was. She wanted one, one day. Even a little one, just to stare at on her own.
"It's... amazing...Thanks." Completely and utterly unexpectedly, she gave him and awkward little hug. It flattened his hands into his pockets she he couldn't do anything back, and was probably she shortest hug he ever got. And it ended with her quickly scampering towards the polar bears as if nothing happened, and laughing back at him. "Hey, come and show me this all ferocious teddy bear they got! Maybe I can fist fight it!" She did a funny little fighting motion, pretending to be tough again, but she couldn't make the pink disappear from her cheeks completely.

Ty was completely taken aback, even if it did last all of a fraction of a second or so. And she was clever, hugging him so that he couldn't resist--or more likely hug her back. "No problem," he said with a similar blush.
"Heh. Polar bears are pretty big, but I think you could take it," he said, catching up to her. "But please don't blow up the bear or pick a fight with it today." He stuck his tongue out. On the way to the bears, there were a few smaller exhibits. Artic foxes, some penguins, a very large walrus...
"Glad you're having fun though," he said. Now, whatever happened the rest of the day, his goal had been achieved. He'd broken through the walls and made her truly happy. If only for a little while.
Tses walked up to the polar bear cage, and peered into the glass. She almost jumped back a little bit when the bear that was playing in the water swam over and put it's giant paw against the glass. Suddenly, she realized how gigantic it was, and let out a little whistle in awe. "You know, I'm not sure I'd like to meet that thing in the wild... " It swam back to the edge of the pond, yanked itself up on the edge and shook off it's fur. It acted almost like a dog: a giant lumbering dog.
"And who said I was having fun?" She swept her face clean of blush and smile and put on her frowny glaring face. She narrowed her eyes at him and crossed her arms. For all intensive purposes she looked serious, if you didn't see the tiny twinkle she couldn't snuff out in her eyes.

"Yeah, I know what you mean," he answered. Then...uh-oh. There was the angry face. This, he'd have to play real careful-like.
"Just a hunch. The fact that I'm still breathing is a good sign," he said with a somewhat joking air to it. "If you didn't like it, I'm sure I'd have heard about or felt it by now." He noticed the slight twinkle in her eye, then looked back to the polar bear. The top of the food chain.
"Amazing, isn't it? So strong, yet so powerful. Scary thought, imagine if you messed with her if she had cubs..."
"What's a cub? Is that like a kid?" She said watching the bears blunder around. They moved a lot easier in the water. She wondered why it didn't stay there. On land they looked like over-sized jackets drenched in water, or giant marshmallows. The fur looked odd, and she could see darker colors under it as the light crossed the white-ish hairs.
"And don't worry.... when I get pissed off, you'll know. You'd find yourself swimming in the polar bear pond like a little fish before you can say Polar Bear. Then again, you're already in deep water with me, ain't ya Fish?" She leaned against the barrier of the exhibit and smirked at him. This time, it was her mean smirk; like a cat playing with a new toy. Perhaps she was just compensating for her cute moment already.

"Yeah, it's the technical term for a bear's baby," he explained.
He just had to laugh at her threat, mostly because she called him Fish. That was just....precious. In a twisted, deadly sort of way. "Well, my last name is Fisher," he told her with a smile. "But if it's all the same to you, I'd rather not be eaten by a polar bear. Please?" He gave her a fake pouty face, then smiled.
"Okay let's see....we've got reptiles and bugs back that way....monkey exhibits over that way...." Yeah, he was changing the subject. Something he found would likely be a smart move.
Tses put her hands in her pockets and seemed to consider it for a second. "Hmmm. Fine. No polar bears today, but I'm not letting you off the 'Fish' hook." She laughed, both because she realized it was his last name, and because it was a way to taunt him now. Well, taunt or tease in a slightly affectionate sort of messed up way.
"Maybe we should try the reptiles next." She suggested. She kind of wanted to see how he did around the spiders, and if he was as ok with them as he said he was. Behind her, the bear let out a noise that sounded part yawn, part growl, and she almost jumped a little, hairs standing up on the back of her neck. She had heard the term 'mother bear' before, and was glad now the bear was quite single, and thought she should stay that way.

Ty chuckled, shaking his head slightly. Apparently what used to be an involuntary nickname was becoming a little pet-name. Not that he'd say anything of the sort out loud. That'd be suicidal.
"Gotcha, reptiles." He gave a nod, turning around and leading her the way they'd come, past the still lit Christmas tree. "Do me a favor? Remind me to turn the lights off before we go, okay?"
Turning left instead of going straight back to the tigers, he led her to a building that seemed like a long trailer, with a door on each end. Walking to the one marked "Entrance" he jiggled the knob out of habit. "...Huh...looks like they forgot to lock up..." he murmured as the door came open. The room was dark, save for dim lights in the different tanks that lined the walls, from one end of the building to the other. It was a straight shot out. In each tank was a different reptile, insect, or frog, even.
Tses nodded as he asked her to remember the lights ,and followed him to the reptile exhibit. Compared to the daylight outside, the dim light of the exhibit took a second for her eyes to adjust to. It seemed.... warm, compared to the cold air outside, and many of the animals had a slight steamy nature to their cages. It seemed odd to her the door wasn't locked, but she shrugged it off in the back of her mind and looked at the snake exhibit. She loved snakes; their scales were so intricate and they moved with just the muscles on their bodies. she wasn't sure exactly how it worked, because she wasn't the animal nut, Ty was. But watching them gave her the general idea to go off of.
Next to the snake was the spiders, and Tses waited until Ty was looking at them before slipping behind him 'running' her fingers across his midback like a spider then jumping to the other side to avoid any possibly flinching. "Can you imagine that crawling up your back?" She said with a catty grin.

Ty looked at the spider, then he felt something....crawling on him. He jumped, let out a squeal like a little girl, then turned beet red as he saw Tses, standing there, grinning all cat-like. He blushed even more.
"Uh...yeah, I can," he murmured, then it turned into a grin as he shook it off. "Okay, you got me," he said with a chuckle. "I just have this thing with spiders. Never really liked them. But I can take a joke," he stuck his tongue out at her playfully, then moved to stare at this really large iguana, resting on a stump that was in its tank.
Tses laughed at his reaction, and gave a grin when he blushed. It was funny embarrassing someone other than herself. She watched as he finally smiled, and didn't feel quite as mean, but his comment about taking a joke seemed like a nudge at her for being so hostile all the time. Oh well, she knew she was bad with her social skills. So sue her. She was here, though, and he at least got to see a different side of her when she wasn't trying to fend for her life.
"Never had a problem with bugs. Unless they bite me, that is." she murmured, leaning closer to look at the iguana. Again, another creature she had never seen before. "And I'm not even going to try pronouncing that name." She declared. Her pride was sore enough for one day.

"Iguana," Ty said politely. "But hey, if all else fails, do what I do. Really big lizard." He gave a nod, looking at the lizard, then moving on, looking from tank to tank on each side. Then, he got to something quite interesting.
"Hey! Look at these!" He pointed to a tank containing a bunch of frogs, all some bright color paired with black. Yellow and black, blue and black, purple and black, even red and black. "See? These are frogs native to Central and South America. There are several species, but as a whole they're known as Poison dart frogs. They're poisonous to the touch, but really pretty."
Tses gazed at the little frogs, and squinted at their colorful skin. they looked like someone splattered them with brightly colored paint, and the pigments just got stuck there. "Hmmm. I approve of these ones." She declared finally, although she wished they weren't poisonous to the touch. Part of her thought it would be fun to have something exotic as a pet, although, she never had a pet, and the last thing she wanted was the terrible experience if one of them died.
"Have you ever had a pet?" She asked suddenly, turning to him. Her face was still scrunched slightly with thought, then it went away as she waited for his reply and straightened up, turning from the frogs.

He turned to look at her. "Yeah, they're cool. And we had a dog for awhile. A black one named Bandit. That was my best friend in the world. So loving, so caring. Always happy, and knew how to make me feel better."
His face hardened. "Then after Mom died...Dad got drunk. I was in my room after one of my regular beatings...Bandit was there to make me feel better, lick my face. That sorta thing...Well....Dad came into my room....snapped his neck in front of me."
He shook his head. "Why am I remembering all this now? I'm sorry, I'm good now. Sometimes I just wish I could hunt him down and do to him the same crap he did to me, ya know?" He wiped his eyes, then looked at her again.
"You want something to eat? Burger, hot dog, cotton candy?"
