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.

"I don't wanna be a detective, I was just saying. If anything, I'd use it to steal jewelry and other valuables and see if they're real. I don't really listen to authority, because I think most people telling me what to do suck. You're actually one of few people who can get away with it..." He smirked, thinking one person on that list of people was on there because he couldn't figure out how she did it...
"I'm working on it. I tried to get it to work yesterday, but it took forever and I finally got lucky. Maybe I was...too panicked or something. When my power decides to work, I'm not really thinking. It's sorta confusing." But at least that shirt thing told me the shirt wasn't a boyfriend's.
"Eh, I find my powers rarely seem to work properly when I want them to." Tses murmured. She thought of several instances when she had to use her fists instead of her powers to escape, even more recent ones like the rather botched up bank robbery. Then her body tensed up as memories flooded back into her head unwillingly.
A gun fired, shattering the window behind her, and Tses bolted towards the only sign of escape she saw. They screamed for her to stop, but she didn't hear any of it. She was a cornered animal, and she was going to do what it took to keep her freedom. She shut her eyes tighter, and unwillingly curled against him. In a way, she felt like he'd understand how she felt... if nothing else, he had the memories of the incident now too, thanks to the tiger.
Her head and body hurt, and she tried to steer her brain away from her thoughts, but they didn't seem to want to move. She felt her thoughts frozen on the sight of the officer raising his gun, the feeling of glass in her arms, then the shattering pain that kept coming back, even now.

He nodded as those same memories flooded his own mind. When she curled into him, he held her carefully, but still clinging to her, as if she'd disappear if he were to let go.
"I'm just glad my powers finally worked on that tiger...if they hadn't I probably wouldn't have found you so fast..." Actually the old lady probably would have told him, but that was beside the point. She was the closest person to him, and just yesterday he was terrified of losing her. This place brought back those memories, but at the same time, it brought good ones.
"Ya know though...there are still alot of good times here. Like Christmas. And despite our bumps and bruises....right now." He rubbed her back a little, trying to be more comforting and soothing than anything.
Tses nodded slowly as he tried to reassure her, and was secretly glad he'd found the tiger when he did. If she was still stuck in the hospital, she would be trapped in her worst nightmare, and she couldn't handle being that weak and that afraid. She let him comfort her, and felt herself slipping towards sleep, focusing on the good memories. But they kept mingling with the frightened ones, jumbling in her head in a massive tangle...
She could feel the excitement of jumping off the roof together, landing on the scaffolding and laughing about it. Then she could feel the fear of being chased and shot at by cops. She could feel the joy of eating lunch together at the zoo, then she could feel the pain when she was attacked by the smoke mutant in the alleyway. She could feel the tingle of holding his hand, and the static of his kiss, then she could feel the fear of being alone and the terror of having no one to help her.
She felt buried the thoughts, and focused on what Ty was saying.
"Christmas was really special to me... I'd like to spend another Christmas like that with you... or even just New Years... other holidays... I've never really had memories worth holding onto. But, you give me some." She put her head against him, and gave a little smile. One of the rare genuine ones she kept just for him. She opened her eyes for a second, then closed them and went back to the sort of nestled sleep positions she had curled into. "As much as I resist this cuddly cutesy stuff, it is a little nice..." As long as he just let it happen, and didn't push things, then the moment could continue and she'd try to enjoy it. Although, he had a habit of getting too excited, and then she had to remind him why he was so careful around her.

Ty smiled down at her, letting his fingers sort of dance along her back gently. "I'm glad it was so special. I wanted it to be a happy time for you, and I love seeing you that way. As long as you're with me, there'll be more times like that. More dates."
His smile grew when he saw her smile that real, unmistakable smile. The usual ones were nice, but the real ones just made him feel good, sometimes even made his heart skip a beat. "No matter what I have to go through for you, that smile right there makes everything worthwhile. Yeah....this is nice. I love it." This time he did just let it happen, he didn't try anything. He just let her decide what they did. Those blue eyes drifted closed as his fingers traced her back slower and slower, finally stopping to rest on her lower back as he slowly faded into a deep, well-deserved sleep.
Tses felt him drift off before her this time, and she laid and just listened to him breathe for a few moments. It was rhythmic and calming, and helped her feel safe. Ok, so she had tried not to have him stick around here too long, but it was hard to tell him to go when she realized how much better it felt having him here, at least for how. With the door still damaged, the window busted, and the considerably rough night, a little peace deserved to go uninterrupted. They'd probably argue in the future, objects would fly, things would get crazy because lets face it, she was far from perfect. But after all the chaos, she hoped things would always settle back down to this: it was strangely right, adorably annoying, and somehow perfect.
With her headache finally mellowing out, she let herself fall asleep to the beat of his heart, her mind tangled in the strangely close curve of his arm.
