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 flinched a little at the mention of the kissing fiasco, and inwardly kicked herself again for it. At least they got past that. Heck, they held hands all the way down the building with no bodily injury happening! Someday things would work out better, she hoped... Then again, she didn't have anything to compare this two. The closest thing to a friendship she had was with the mutant who taught her how to fight. "I never knew my mom, and dad loved my sister because she looked like her. But he hated me. So I kept out of his way. I was glad to get out of there; I was just another mouth to feed to him.
"I don't know what I see myself as. I don't know what the world sees me as. I've always just felt invisible, I guess. When I was ten, there was a house fire. I got my little sister out but the house collapsed on me. I was in a coma for a year, and when I woke up, I was on my own. My sister moved on without me, thought I was dead. Dad was gone. I felt free, but I felt lost. It was like, I could vanish off the face of the world, and no one would care. Why should they? I turned into a thief, and a criminal... I've even worked against other mutants before... before I realized I could care about someone other than myself. Every time I look in the mirror, I just see the skinny little nobody that no one would miss.
"Except... except maybe you." She glanced at him, and the way he looked at her, she was sure he would miss her... at least a little

"Wow..." he never realized she went through that much. No wonder she took so much time for him to break through to. She'd had it so hard, and he could only sort of relate to her, but right now all she needed was someone to listen. And he was the perfect man for the job.
"The last friends I had were two years ago. They got me into urban exploration, then robbing houses. When the cops showed up one day, I fled. Ran into them again awhile back and boy....they're not exactly friends anymore, I'll say that much." He stopped, looking her straight in the face.
"Tses. I would miss you. More than you know. I have no idea what I would do if I were to lose you...I just can't picture that..."
Tses fidgeted a little, and glanced away from him, embarrassed. She chewed her lip a little bit, and glanced at him from the corner of her eyes with a kind of nervous puppy dog expression. "You'd move on." She muttered, nosing the ground with her boot. They were getting closer to her apartment now, and she was almost a bit disappointed. She liked walking with him like this. But she also felt that age old fear rising in her gutt: a fear of being left behind, being alone... being forgotten.
"I'm like the moon. It's there, and yeah, it's ok. But it's only in the sky half the time, and the days it's not there, you don't just go "Hey, the moon isn't out." If the moon was never in the sky, eventually you would forget about it. There are plenty of stars to light the night. And people like the day, and the sun, and the cheery happiness. I just live in a dimmer sort of world." It was an extended metaphor, but it was the only way she could think of to describe how she was feeling. There was only a sliver of light left, and then the sky would be dark for a few days, and she doubted it would effect many people other than her.

"No, I wouldn't. Sure, there are other lights in the sky, and though look at it. The stars are so much smaller. So much farther away. The moon is closer than the stars. You're closer to me than anyone else on the planet. And no one's brightened my life, my spirits as much as you have. Especially today." He bit his lip, looking away for a second."Besides, isn't it the moon that has something to do with tides? With the moon gone, it would screw that up. If I lost you, it would screw me up. You have no idea. You're right, you are like the moon. Only when you're gone, I think about the next time the 'moon' comes out...."
He squeezed her hand, standing there awkwardly. "I really do feel that strongly about you. From the time we met to right now. I don't know why, I just do. And I'll be damned if I let anybody take you away from me..." At the end, his face got stern, almost like that of a dog protecting its owner, but his eyes were soft as they focused on her.
The way he spoke made her blush more, as they pulled up in front of the apartment building. She fiddled in her pockets for her keys, listening but embarrassed by it. It was weird: she loved hearing the compliments, and she dreaded it at the same time. She didn't know how to accept them, now to accept his feelings, how to accept that someone cared. She gave his hand a squeeze, and let go to open the door and glanced at him. At least this apartment had little foot traffic, so she wasn't holding much up.
"Well, no one is going to take me away. Unless it's myself. but I don't think you'd let me do that, would you Fish? You're stubborn in that way." It was a playful way of teasing him, but caring. She liked when he was protective and stubborn. It made her feel like she was worth fighting for.

"Something tells me you won't, though," he said softly. "But yeah, I am stubborn. You're my best friend...maybe even more. That doesn't cross my path just every day. No one's ever been as close to me as you. So you can rest assured I'm not letting you go easy."
He looked at her. "Wow...that walk went fast. But you're home, as was the agreement...I'll see you later, and hope you had a Merry Christmas." At that, he pulled her into a gentle hug. It didn't last very long, maybe several seconds before he let go. He exercised his self-control to let it stay a simple hug, since they did have a deal. The hand-holding was first initiated by her, anyway, so it didn't count.
Tses smiled, and forced herself not to flinch at the hug. It was Christmas. Next time she'd be harder to get. She gave his hand a squeeze and opened the door, smirking at him. "Thanks for giving me a Christmas. First one... best one. Just realize, next year you'll have a lot to live up to." She grinned, and let the playful twinkle return to her eyes.
"Maybe I'll even ask you an easier question you can win." She winked and slipped inside, shutting the door with a little click. Then she skittered up the stairs to her apartment, unlocked her door, and locked herself in the room. She almost felt a little lightheaded from the full day, and went over to the table, and picked up the stuffed tiger, returning the hug Ty gave her at least to the little animal.Then she wandered to the window and peaked out, looking for his figure in the darkness. He won today, but time would show if he won her over in the long run, without the holiday magic to soften her up.

"Maybe," he said with a smile. "Who knows? Maybe I won't even need a question. It was my best, too. Bye, for now." He gave a small sigh as he turned away from the door. She was already inside, and Christmas was already over.
Brushing his hair out of his face again, he slowly walked down the street, away from her apartment. Stopping, he looked back only once, blowing a kiss in the direction. Then, the lovestruck redhead turned back and continued his walk home, slowly disappearing into the darkness.
