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 grinned as she giggled, though he didn't think he was that funny. But it made him feel better, seeing her like that.
"I didn't hurt it, just yelled a little when my power wouldn't work. The old lady next door seems sweet though. She kinda came in to inform me that 'stuffed animals don't talk.'" He chuckled. Then, when she said how scared she was, he patted her hand with his other one.
"I know. I'm scared too," Ty admitted. "More terrified than I remember being. But just being with you here and now makes me feel better, Tses. No matter what, we're going to be okay." Then, he dropped his voice again. "Somehow. Someway. I'm going to get you out of here. You mean too much to me for me to roll over and quit."
"The cat lady? She talked to you? did she introduce you to David and her other thousand kittens?" Her slight chuckle hurt her back, and she closed her eyes, letting the pain throb away. When he said he'd get her out of here, she sighed, and looked up at the ceiling. The panic was trying to set in again, and she could hear the heart monitor pick up a few beats. Just keep taking deep breathes.... don't focus on the... hospital.
The officer coughed in the hallway and adjusted in his chair, bringing her down a few steps and reminding her what was going on. It felt like a splash of cold water. "I don't know what to do... Maybe get a hold of a lawyer or something; or a few of the more... eccentric mutants I've met" She whispered the last bit under her breathe, and a slightly crazy spoiled rich girl came to mind. She wasn't sure she was desperate enough right now to try and get help from any of them, though; she really would hate to see what the girl would try to do to Ty. A small spark of something possessive prickled in her, and she quickly tried to quench it.

"Yeah," he replied. "Though she didn't have time to because I rushed out to protect my gir--friend...." He blushed. "I don't know either....I'm thinking," he whispered, jumping as the officer coughed. "I'm getting nothing...." He sighed, slouching in his chair, somewhat soothed by the feeling of her hand in his as he closed his eyes. He hated seeing her like this.
She was tough, strong. Moreso than he could ever dream, in his mind. But here...she looked so vulnerable. So scared. He hated it. "I'm sorry...I feel so useless right now..."
There were footsteps in the hallway, then they grew closer. As Tses glanced over, the cop had returned, along with a new orderly with a tray in hand. The officer motioned for the attendee to wait, but Tses didn't have to ask what was going on; her face lost all color and she felt sick. They were going to put her back under. She clutched Ty's hand with all the strength she had, and the cop coughed again to announce his presence. He waited for Ty to turn before speaking.
"I've been more than lenient for you; if the other officers come back and she's not sedated properly, it's not going to go over well. You can stay until she's back asleep, but that's it." He said, motioning for the orderly to come forward.
Meanwhile, Tses looked like a tiny animal about to get shot; eyes wide and her pulse sending the heart monitor racing. "Ty, promise you'll think of something..." She whispered, sure he could feel her heart beating through her hand.

Ty turned, eyes narrowing when the cop spoke. He looked back at Tses, then whispered, "I promise." He squeezed her hand in return. Before she got her shot, he looked at her, swallowing hard. He felt tears starting to well up in his eyes. Once she was asleep, he'd be kicked out....that was it.
"I'll see you soon. I promise...." Hopefully, the memory that would stick out to her the most would be this one. When Ty, tears staining his eyes, leaned down his lips finally really meeting hers in that kiss. He would come up with something, because he wasn't letting her go that easily. His hand gripped hers tighter, as he tried to cling to every second he could.
Everything around her felt like it was falling apart. The cop had come, she was going to be alone again, and the only consolation was that she wouldn't even know it. He promised to see her soon, but when would that happen? How would it happen? What if she went to jail forever?! She was in hell: surrounded by bleach cleaned walls, an officer and these damn nurses that were minions of evil.... She wished there was an escape route from this place, wished she could close her eyes and it would be over, and her hands would be freed from these awful restrains. She needed to think of something, tell Ty some way to get her out. Contact the girl from the mall, the shadow mutant, even the darn smoke person... one of them must be able to get her out. Maybe even that little girl who controlled blood. There was lots of blood here, right? Maybe she could rescue her? Her thoughts kept getting more and more desperate, as she stared at Ty, trying to think of something to say so he could get her out...
Then he leaned down, and kissed her, and unlike the first time he tried it, she felt herself kiss him back. Every thought melted from her head, and her heart gave a patter not of panic, but nervously happy from the feeling. Then the drug set in and everything went back to darkness, but she settled into it with the feeling of the boys hand, and the tingle of his lips still on her mouth.
* * * * *
The cop watched as the mutant fell unconscious, choosing to ignore the two teens 'tender' moment. He had a heart, but he also had a job, and this sentimental stuff was getting in the way of it. As the nurse left the room he touched the boys shoulder: not rough, but not gentle either, and nodded towards the door. "Time to go kid. Visiting hours are over."
His hand was on his belt, just in case the kid tried anything, but he was calm and had a rather bored expression on his face.

Ty pulled back from the kiss when she went back under, no longer feeling her return it. His hand slowly released hers as he looked down at her. She looked so peaceful, but at the same time, she was a prisoner. He flinched at the cop's hand on his shoulder, eyes narrowing.
"I know," he said a little more harshly, pulling away from the cop's grasp. He noticed the cop had a hand on his belt, and almost mentally dared him to try something. "What," he muttered on his way out. "You need another mutant to take advantage of?" But he said it quietly, and as he was leaving. Turning around to take one last look at Tses, he wiped a tear from his eye, then left the building.
Once outside, his mind started racing again. What to do...Track down that smoke mutant? Go back to Sanctuary and recruit help from people he rarely talked to? Gah...There had to be a way....there just had to be...
One the girl was back under, the cop kept his gaze sharp on the kid. He was pissed, which was understandable, but at least he left without causing a commotion. Walking out to the hall behind him, he watched the slim figure slink out and sighed to himself. He almost wished he was with the rest of his unit bringing in other mutants now, instead of on babysitting duty.
On his hip, his radio came to life, and he picked it up, moving it where he could hear. "Can you belay that last message?"
"Roger. Base called, I have a message for you."
The officer grumbled, and left a nurse in charge of the room as he moved out to his squad car. He unlocked the black and white cruzer, missing his undercover vehicle, and muttered as he tried adjusting the seat. After dumping his cold coffee on the street, he switched on the larger radio and spoke into it. "10-4. Proceed with message."
"Base said they reviewed footage from the incident a few weeks back. The mutant we brought it was telling the truth: there was another mutant present, one we've had issues with in the past. She still checks out on the shoplifting charges, but we're clearing you to leave her in hospital care and return with the rest of the unit." The officer sighed, a bit relieved, but also annoyed they figured this out now. He fiddled with the cord of the radio, then pressed the button as he responded.
"We still have her on counts of 148 and 243. Are we taking her back into custody once she's released?" He paused, and listened to the static as the message went through the necessary channels.
"Negative. We're setting a court date, but we can't spread our resources too thin. With the incident, there are more violent crimes and we need to keep our men focused on the worst of them." He knew what the incident was. That footage of the mutant being beat was definitely sparking mutant tensions, and this case would not be another glowing one on their record. Regardless of her fighting back, they still left a mutant in the hospital. He sighed, and signed off the radio, before heading back into the hospital.
Approaching the front desk, he gave the orders for the girl to be moved to a different room, but still isolated from other patients. They could remove the bindings her on good faith, but the collar would remain as well as a hair of handcuffs until she was dismissed from treatment. And, in a small spark of kindness, he said to leave the red haired kid on the allowed visitors list. Inwardly, he smirked. At least no one could say he was heartless, well, until they arrested the next mutant. Then he returned to his squad car, and started it, prepared to leave.

Ty wasn't outside long when he noticed the cop leave the building and go to his squad car. He could only catch bits and pieces of the conversation--mostly the half from the cop, but he could gather the gist of it. Then, the cop went inside, before walking back out and driving away. From the looks of it, things had started to look up at least a little, and he didn't have to do anything.
Then, a smile reached his face, remembering the last moments before he had to leave her. Then again it was easy to be brave when she was strapped down...but hey. He not only kissed her, but she'd actually kissed him back!
Waiting a moment, he turned and headed back inside, where the receptionist--albeit reluctantly--gave him an update of the situation. Nodding, he sat down on one of the waiting room chairs, just thinking while waiting for everything to get situated, though he planned to be by her side again by the time she woke up.
It took around an hour for the room transfer to be complete, with all the technicalities to be taken care of beforehand. There was an incoming rush of wounded that took almost every free hand over to the ER, then the nurses had to find an appropriate location to the leave the mutant that was away from other patients, yet freed up the more secure rooms. They moved her without incident, and then a cautious head nurse took the bindings off and tried to figure out the best way to secure her. They opted to cuff her right leg to the bed, instead of her arm, and the nurse grumbled if the cop had a problem with it, he could bring it up with her.
Without the straps, she looked less like a dangerous prisoner, and more like just another injured hospital patient who needed time to heal. In all the movement, they let the sedation start wearing off, moving her over to simple pain medications and scheduling sleep pills for the night. By the time everything was settled, it was getting fairly late in the evening.
As she was settled in, the receptionist called Ty up, and let him know he could go back to see his girlfriend now. She was in the adult ward, which was down the hall a short ways, but at least that section of the hospital wouldn't kick him out in an hour when 8:30pm rolled around.
In the room, Tses stirred slightly, legs tucked close to her body and face pulled in a little frown. Her left arm was now strapped up against her body so she wouldn't rip open her shoulder, which left her right hand free, which was facing the door.

Ty was impatient, though quietly. The redhead spent the entire hour drumming his fingers or fidgeting and staring at the clock. He thought he'd never be able to see her. God it was so annoying....they were taking FOREVER! Then again they were busy and short-handed, but...come on.
Finally they let him know he could go back to see her. His girlfriend. He practically floated down the hall to her room. He sat next to her bedside, when she stirred, but she sure didn't look very happy.
"Hey there," he said softly, smiling. "The good news is the cops are gone and you're pretty much off the hook. The bad news is you're stuck here until you recover. But...I don't have to leave you now, at least."
Tses felt her eyes flicker open when someone walked in the room, and it took her awhile to register who it was. Her brain felt muggy, and her body felt worse, and everything seemed to move in slow motion. She shifted, and blinked, glancing down at her arm which was no longer strapped in. He tried explaining the situation, but she felt a little slow, trying to process it. Off the hook? As in, not jailed?
"How.... She rubbed her face with her fist, and peered at him with one eye squintily for a second. She tried to move her foot, and felt the cuffs on her ankle, but it didn't bother as much as it would have before. She'd take one ankle cuff vs. the bed straps any day.
She put her hand back down slowly, and her face staid in a stoic expression. She didn't smile, didn't frown; just looked thoughtful as she said, "They called you my boyfriend."

"I guess they found something freeing you from the murder charges," he said with a shrug. "But...you're not going to jail now, at least. Thank God..."
He nodded, blushing slightly. "I know. I tried getting in before, then sorta saw the cop and left to assess the situation. As I was thinking, this nurse comes out, asking if I'm Ty. I said yes and she said..." he paused, blushing a bit more. "She said my girlfriend asked for me."
He could have easily justified her being his girlfriend, but he figured it'd be best to just leave it at that. After all this was new territory to him. And looking at the girl in question...New and dangerous territory.
Tses's gaze didn't change. Her face didn't look excited, or irritated, just a little bit curious and mostly groggy. Her blue eyes stared at him with piercing color, but the glare wasn't sharp. In her head, the thoughts started turning, pushing way through the haze that kept pressing down on her. She turned the word girlfriend over in her head, contemplating it, running from it, pausing at it like it was something to be considered. Could she be a girlfriend? A resistive, hot tempered, and out of the control psychotic girlfriend? He had the upper hand right now. She was too drugged to punch him even if he pissed her off. "Well, do you think I'm your girlfriend?"
It was a loaded question. There was no telling what answer she was hoping for. If he said yes, and she decided she didn't want that, he could be in trouble. If he said no, and she wanted that, he could be in trouble. Behind the tiny little line on her lip, she was almost impossible to read as she waited for his answer.

Ty blushed deeper at the question, and he scooted away--just far enough so that he'd be out of arm reach as he contemplated his answer. Taking a breath, he looked at her. "Well...." His thoughts raced. Looking at her face, he couldn't tell which answer was the right one. Telling the truth could get him in trouble. Then again, telling a lie could also get him in trouble...This was so freaking confusing.
"Okay, well...I'm not really sure. It's confusing," he started. "I mean...what I'm trying to say is..." He stammered, tripping over every word, every letter, and every punctuation mark. "I...I'd like that, but uh....only if that's what you wanted?" He bit his lip, just waiting for something to be thrown or for all hell to break loose somehow, some way.
