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.

Tses listened to him speak, and watched a he described his dog. She never really had anything like that growing up. Well, except her sister. "My sister was like of like that. Well, not a pet, but she just cared about me unconditionally. She never knew dad was the way he was. I never let her know. I got good at making up stories about cuts and bruises, and she was young enough not to care." Part of her felt angry for him. Angry someone had killed his dog and angry someone had hurt him. But then it made her feel angry at herself, because she didn't treat him that great all the time. she didn't like being mean, but she didn't know how to be nice sometimes. that little side of her that looked after her sister was stuck inside somewhere she couldn't quite reach.
"Sometimes it helps to talk about it. I don't mind." Tses said as he got frustrated at himself for thinking about the past. "I may not be much help, but I try to listen at least..." She fidgeted, and then nodded when he asked about food. "Yeah, I could use a bite to eat.... My uh, food supplies have been a bit low lately." She admitted. Every time she tried to go to the story something seemed to come up.

Ty nodded, listening. They had so much in common, and it sort of made him like her that much more. "Sometimes, all I really want is someone who'll listen. All I really need," he explained as a soft smile spread to his lips. This was turning out alot better than he expected, to be honest. Outside of the drama, the chaos, and all of the excitement of someone trying to kill them, Tses seemed more approachable. And he had to admit he liked it.
"Food it is then." Leading her outside, he started to the nearest food stand. Near the monkeys, there was one that was set up like a small hut, with a large window for serving. This window, of course, was sealed by a garage-like metal door, locked tight with a padlock. Ty chuckled.
"Almost looks hard, doesn't it?" he said with a cocky grin as he slipped around to the back, where there was just a basic door for the employees to enter. Pulling out his ID, he broke in quite easily, and went straight for where they kept the food. Supplies were plentiful, for the holiday.
"We're in luck. They got their food shipment yesterday." Hm...somebody did his homework. "Okay so what'll it be? Chicken, hot-dogs, hamburgers, funnel cake..." he went down the list as he heated up the grill and the deep fryer.
Tses peeked inside the food area, and her stomach grumbled a little bit. Part of her had that initial feeling she got when sneaking around places. Get in, and get out fast, so cooking something seemed a little long winded. But then she remembered they had pretty much the whole day here, and stopped worrying so much. As he listed off foods, she licked her lips at the possibilities, and thought for a few minutes, before making up her mind.
"Chicken strips would be nice. Oh, and fries if there is some!" She came in and opened the freezer smirking when she found a bag of them. "Victory! Ok, found my food. What did you want?" She smirked holding onto the bag with one hand and her eyes gave a mischievous glimmer before she held them out to him.

Ty gave her a nod, taking the food and putting a handful of chicken strips in one basket and fries in another, letting the scorching hot grease do its job."Let's see...I think I'll have the same, honestly." Rummaging around, he found the little animal themed boxes they put the food in, and put hers in one, then loaded some more food into the fryer, turning off the grill since he decided not to use it. Once ready, he put his own food in a box, then disappeared into another part of the building.
When he returned, he had a bowl of batter, which he put into the fryer, making two funnel cakes and sprinkling them with powdered sugar. Turning off the fryer and cleaning up, he took what food he could to a nearby table, setting it down, then looked around. "Okay, so the only drink they have here is lemonade..." Fixing two large cups, he handed her one before leading her to the table, then locking up the building, almost like no one had been there.
Tses leaned against one of the counters while Ty worked, and watched him use the deep friers. It was kinda fun, considering she had never cooked in her life. She knew the basics of it, having been to a few restaurants, but there was no way she'd have the confidence he had now. The little animal themed boxes almost made her laugh, and the funnel caked peeked her interest. She was getting tired of announcing everything she didn't recognize, so she decided to just go with the flow and eat whatever it was.
She plopped at the table, and nibbled a fry as she spoke, and laughed a little. "Considering I've never cooked in my life, you've beat me in that area at least. But it tastes good." She said, taking a bite of the chicken tender. It was a little hot and she switched the bite from one side of her mouth to the other so she didn't burn herself. It tasted pretty good amidst the scalding, that was true. "Although, I'd be careful... Cooking makes them hot." She muttered and took a sip of the lemonade to cool her mouth, making a little face as she made sure her tongue still had all it's feeling to it.

"I'm not the best cook in the world, but thanks," he said with a smile, as he carefully tore into his own food. "OW!" He jerked back, having burned his own tongue. "Okay....point taken." Sipping his lemonade, he waited a few minutes before tearing into his food again.
He was relatively quiet, and soon his food was gone and he pulled his funnel cake closer, tearing off a piece and taking a bite. "Okay...I think I just amazed myself," he murmured, taking another bite. "That is....dude."
Tses ate her food rather fast, even with the scalding nature it had. But she was never ladylike, as she already established the last time they had lunch together. the food was great; better than microwave noodles and fruit. But the strange powdered sugary dough creation... that was the best.
"What is this called? It's great..." She murmured, licking her fingers of the powdered sugar. She put the last little bite into her mouth, and it filled her up without any room left for more. But it was good. She couldn't believe she never had something like this before.

Ty smiled. "Funnel cake. The supreme being over all things sweet and/or deep fried. If this place were open it'd cost at least five or six bucks a pop."
He finished his own, then took their trash and threw it away, keeping the lemonades. Taking a sip, he paused as he heard something in the distance. Music. And...singing? Horrible...horrible....singing.
"I'm here without you, Baby but you're still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby, and I dream about you all the time...."
"Oh crap..." Suddenly, a figure turned the corner. A rather...husky...man in a gray zoo uniform. Ty apparently forgot that the animals still had to eat and be taken care of on Christmas.
"HEY! What are you kids doing here?" the older fellow yelled, starting to run after Ty. It was....funny....actually. Older, unarmed zoo-employee, trying to catch two rather in shape young people. Ty busted out laughing, making his way back to Tses.
"Tses, we should probably *SNORTchuckle* get out of here," Ty said, not really moving particularly fast, but still somewhat serious about leaving. He could very well call the cops.
Tses still had her drink to her mouth when she saw the bumbling security guard arrive. Instead of looking worried, she calmly threw her cup away. She thought he looked comical bumbling forward, and she knew she was more than a match for the zookeeper. Then again, if Ty though they should get moving, they should get moving before trouble hit in a larger scale.
"Wait! We gotta turn off the Christmas tree!" Perhaps it wasn't their biggest worry, but she did promise him she'd remind him. In a way, she was a little relieved things were going chaotic again. She felt better in stressful situations, and she didn't have to worry about making a fool of herself.

Ty chuckled. She really reminded him about the tree? Now? "Heh. Right. I think we can swing that." With that, he took off...jogging. Nothing more as the out-of-shape, forty-ish year old guard bumbled after them. He went to the control area, turning off the tree, making sure Tses was following, though he was sure she'd have no problem with this.
Reaching the fence, he climbed over nimbly, waiting for Tses to come back over and join him. He could see the guard/zookeeper, out of breath, stopping with his hands on his knees and hunching over.
"Awww....close, but no cigar. Come on, supercop! You can do it," Ty teased. Wow, turns out Ty had a bit of a mean streak, after all. Well, their date may have been over, but he could still walk her home, maybe.
Tses smirked to herself as Ty went and turned off the tree, and a small side of her was sad to see the lights glimmer off. She would have loved to see the thing at night, but it was still only lunch time and even in winter the sun wasn't ready to go down yet. It was like her, stubbornly resilient and taking it's time getting there.
Tses took her time reaching the fence, and paused, looking at the iron bars. After the full day, and full stomach, it looked much higher from here, especially when she would have to climb one handed. She almost chuckled as Ty teased the cop behind them, but part of her wished he wouldn't. She'd rather mock him from the other side of the fence. With a running jump, she caught the top of the fence with her good hand, and her boots slid on the fence a little as she struggled to pull herself up. She felt like a fish on the ground, momentarily floundering to pull herself up. She managed to pull herself up, but crouched on the top of the fence like a cat, clinging with one hand and panting slightly as her muscles whimpered from the effort. Looking down the other side, she dreaded the dismount... her luck she was going to face-plant in front of zoo-cop, Ty, polar bears, tigers and the entire menagerie watching behind her.

The cop seized his moment. He saw Tses struggling and waddled as fast as he could to get to her. Ty quit taunting at this moment, noticing Tses frozen at the top.
"Ease down," Ty instructed. "No hurry, he won't catch up fast enough. That or you can jump and I'll catch you." God he hoped for the first. Knowing his luck, if she jumped, he'd catch her, then they'd both end up on the ground. Just in case, though, he got into position, arms outstretched just enough to catch her.
...Oh crap. The guard stopped, pulling out a cell phone. "Tses, we gotta go now, he's calling the cops! Don't make me come up there and get you," he teased a bit.
Tses found herself relating to a cat in a tree for a moment. her wrist throbbing with little tingles of pain as she tried to turn on the tiny piece of metal. She clung to the bar with white knuckles, while below her, the zoo cop yelled something into his walkie-talkie. "Don't make me come up there and get you." The mortification of him trying to do that would be worse than her current dilemma. She clutched the bar with one hand, tried to swing her leg down and...
Slipped.
The result was somewhere between both options he gave. She eased down for the first two inches, and fell backwards for the next few feet. Miraculously she missed hitting the bars or catching her skirt, but rather than jumping for him to catch her, she free fell. When you fall, there are certain thoughts that flash through your mind... Things like 'this is going to hurt', or 'I should catch myself'.... The one thought that crossed her mind, however, was I should have let him come get me...

Ty watched as she started to ease down, then fell. He acted quickly, moving in the position to catch her. Okay, so it seemed like a good idea at the time, but then it hit him that his upper body strength was...not very impressive. However, he did manage to catch her, and it wasn't that bad.
At least it wasn't in the first split second. After she landed in his arms, he took a step back out of reflex. And fell backwards, flat on his rear end, then spilled onto his back, Tses still on top of him, arms wrapped around her. At least they were on the grass.
"Oof...You okay?" he asked, the breath knocked out of him.
Tses felt her breathe leave her as she crashed into Ty, but it could have been worse. After all, she could have landed face first and that would have been extremely painful. She could have broken an arm again, a leg... skewered herself on some unforeseen object... Blown up the neighborhood. Those could all be bad outcomes. Then again, after she felt them falling backwards, and she was laying flat on top of Ty. That... was the worst of all.
Struggling to breathe from the impact, she tried to roll over, and found herself staring at him face to face. If it were one of those cute romantic comedies, there would be a kiss or a hug and a thank you.
But no. This was Tses.
"Way to go prince charming." She snapped, and staggered to her feet, trying to catch her breathe while glaring accusingly at him as if it was his fault she fell in the first place.
