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.

"Oh sure, take away the thing I'm trying so hard for. That'll fix EVERYTHING..." Ty snapped, sarcasm dripping from his voice. "Did you forget what led TO that?" Ty asked, his head whipping around to look at her, eyes focused in a cold glare. "Five minutes after the cute stuff I get my head bitten off. By bringing up the cute stuff I risk getting my head bitten off. I can get the wall fixed, in fact, I'm thinking that's the easy part...." Then, he turned back to the table, sighing.
"I'm sorry, okay? I retaliate when attacked. I know you're trying, but it seems like you get your kicks by luring me in then snapping at me when I think it's safe to have a sweet moment..." His voice cracked again, then he muttered, "Easy for you to say, I'm easier to approach.." Laying his head back down on the table, he trembled slightly, again starting to wonder why he bothered. Was it really worth it?
Tses crossed her arms across her chest protectively while he spoke, and tried not to take it personally. But unlike when most people talked to her, Ty's words stung. He was one of the few people who could get under her skin and make her question herself. Sometimes, he made her feel like a monster, and she hated that feeling. It made her angry, made her defensive, because when his words hurt her, she wanted just to hurt him back.
"Do you really think that's what type of person I am? That I like ruining the cute moments? Did it ever occur to you maybe it upsets me as much as it upsets you! I hate who I am. And I know I'm not easy to approach. I spent my life perfecting that. Now I'll probably spend the rest of it undoing it." She slammed the drawer shut, and prowled out of the kitchen into the living room. She yanked open the dresser, and started fishing for something different to put on. She threw a handful of clothing items on the ground, including a couple dresses she kept telling herself she'd burn eventually. "Yeah, you're easy to approach at first....."

Ty blinked, her words swirling around in his head. He bit his lip as she spoke, trying to hold it in. He knew he was being a jerk, but right now, her words stung.
"How would you know?" he shouted, slamming his fists against the table. "You never tried approaching me with this ****. I have to try to get close to you, not the other way around...And I'm a jerk for wanting to be close to you..." Tears flowed down his face, once again.
"I'm sorry...Okay? I'm sorry I care so much. I'm sorry my patience runs thin like everyone else's. I feel more strongly for you than I have anyone and that's why it hurts so bad. That's why it hurts when I'm only sure you care for me at times when something bad happens..." he looked back at her. "All I ever seem to get are bad times in bad moments, good times in bad moments, or bad times in good moments...why can't both be good?"
He propped his head on his fists, still crying. "I'm sorry...yes, I'm hard to approach when angry, I know....but if it means anything, my first instinct would usually be to run away....but it wasn't this time..."
Tses sighed, over-shirt still her her hand as she glanced at him. He was crying again, and she really hated when she made people cry. "I've tried...On Christmas...." She whispered, and shoved the drawer closed, trying to keep back her own tears. This whole fight was awful, and the more they talked, the more exhausted she felt. She turned the fabric over in her hands, her scowl turning into a frown, and then she moved over to the couch and sat on it. She didn't know if he could hear her, but it didn't really matter at this point.
"I just... show it different than you. I try to get close... You're not a jerk, I just don't know what else to do." She puller her legs up at set her chin on her knees. She stared at the wall across from her, and just shrugged her shoulders. He could vent if she wanted to. She deserved it anyway. She'd lost the will to fight.

Ty rubbed his temples. "Christmas was the one time it didn't go to hell," he murmured between sobs. "I just don't see how you show it...unless me still breathing is the answer to that one. I feel like you don't want me close to you, and whenever it blows up like this I feel like the biggest ass on the planet. I bend over backwards to show you, to make you feel loved...but most of the time I feel like a failure. I'm trying to understand, really. This is just taking a toll on me right now...I'll bounce back again eventually...I always do." He sighed out of his nostrils before looking over at her, then stayed right where he was.
He started to go over to her, but he was afraid. As usual...You know what....Screw it.... Boldly, he stood up, pushing his chair under the table, then walking over and sitting on the couch next to her. Yeah, that was all he did. But hey, it was a start.
Tses just stared at her legs as he talked, and the feelings just kept sinking down on her. He was right, she wasn't very good and showing her emotions, and wasn't very good at accepting his feelings. And she was the big jerk, not him. She fiddled with her shirt in her hands, and sighed, a single tear rolling off her cheek. Why did she ever bother trying, anyway? She obviously couldn't make him happy the way she was.
Then she heard movement, and he was on the couch next to her. She didn't say anything, just kept fiddling with the shirt in her hands. After a few seconds, she sighed, and whispered, "I'm sorry. You're the last person in the world I'd want to hurt." She gazed at him, and let the walls slowly melt down for a second. She didn't care if she was vulnerable. She didn't care if it was weak. She just wanted to stop.

Ty looked at her, his glare having melted into a sympathetic look of compassion. "You're the last person I wanna hurt too. But I guess that old saying bodes true....you hurt the ones you love most," he murmured, taking her hand before leaning on her.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you. And that I punched a hole in your wall, and I'm not blaming you for anything. I just....everything just sort of exploded..." He sighed, squeezing his eyes shut. "I hate when we fight...I hate when I upset you. I'm just....so confused right now." He put his other arm around her in some sort of awkward hug. He wished he could just erase the moment after breakfast. Up until then, everything was fine...
Tses gave his hand a little squeeze and settled into his arms, sighing and staring at the shirt still. "I'm confused too.... So I guess that makes both of us." She murmured, and let her fingers trace the back of his hand. Unlike him though, she was glad the fight had happened. Sometimes the only way she felt able to let go and drop her walls was to have someone force her to realize what a jerk she was. And that only seemed to happen when things blew up. Otherwise, she just kept herself distanced to avoid being hurt. The bad times allowed the good times to come around; so she embraced both equally.
"The wall is the least of the problems.... This is just a place to stay. You're more important to me." She said, looking up at him and giving a little smile.

Ty smiled, as she settled into his arms, but that faded, and he pulled back just enough to look her square in the eyes after she finished speaking. Her words pricked his heart, but not in the bad way like he was used to. The smile came back as tears began to well up in his eyes again. "I...thank you..." he murmured, just holding onto her. A thousand thoughts raced in his head, but this was a moment where he knew for sure how she felt about him.
Then, he made another gutsy move. They say that the more you do something, the easier it gets. Every time Ty leaned in in an attempt at a kiss, however, Ty had to push back just as much fear as the last. And this time, was no exception.
Tses felt her heart turn over as he leaned towards her, and her brain started racing. She didn't know why it made her so frightened: part of her thought she'd mess the kiss up, and part of her just thought physical contact was so intimidating. Inwardly, it terrified her; it never stopped scaring her. But maybe each time she didn't react badly, it got easier. Or, at least she hoped it would eventually.
Her pulse kept rising, but this time, she leaned forward the last little bit, and put all her courage into giving him a kiss back. Her lips touched his, and the world didn't end, so at it was a step in the right direction. She pulled back slightly, face going red, and she looked away, fidgeting with the shirt in her hands.

Ty's heart skipped a beat as their lips actually touched. Sure, it didn't get easier for him to start, but if successful, the outcome didn't change either. That...that would be worth the trouble every time. Just that brief moment of tenderness outdid anything and everything that ruined past moments.
However, he also noticed her reaction was the same as well. She'd always blush and look away. She was in his arms so she couldn't run. It was obvious she was nervous about this. Maybe that's all it was. Ty chuckled softly, running a hand through her hair.
"Part of it is, you're too tense," Ty observed. "Maybe it'll be easier on you if you relax," he said softly, the arm around her moving to gently massage her back along the spine with his knuckles firmly, yet still retaining that gentleness.
While most people relaxed when someone kissed them, Tses was quite the opposite. It made ever muscle in her body tense up, and it was like being a coiled spring, ready to leap away. But it wasn't because she hated it; it was because she liked it, and in her mind, that felt very very dangerous. Her face burned with heat, but it slowly dissipated as he rubbed her back. The touch was comforting, and took away some of the churning in her stomach.
"I don't know how to relax...." She murmured, glancing up at him with wide eyes. She was out of her element. She was used to being tough, and being able to show off. Her cocky smile, her snarky grin: she made a life out of being better than people, and this relationship stuff robbed her of that. She felt so uncertain, and she wanted to hide behind her sarcasm to deflect it. But she let herself sit uncertainly for a second, trying not to run away and hide in the bathroom.

Ty chuckled again, massaging turning into s gently rub instead. "Try not to think about it," he instructed softly. "Just sort of....let it happen. It's just us, and there's nothing to worry about. After all, it's just a kiss." he smiled softly, still holding onto her with that gentle grasp he had.
"I know...this is probably new for you, but honestly I'm no expert. I'm just saying what helps me, heh...." he blushed slightly. "I don't mean to make you feel awkward or anything," he explained. "Just...Iunno....trying to help?"
Tses's face turned pink again, and she glanced away, then back. "I... guess.. it helps a little, I guess. I just feel..... unsure... I guess I'm used to knowing what I'm doing. I can pick a pocket without someone even noticing I'm there. But relationship stuff is.... foreign." She muttered, and tugged at the clothing in her lap again. There was no real reason for her to be holding it now, other than to have something to mess with. It was a comfort object at this point.
"How come it doesn't make you as nervous..." She said, looking back up at him and trying to suppress her fear.

"I get it. You're out of your element. Can't say that I blame ya, or that I haven't had that problem," he admitted. "I do get nervous. Terrified even, to the point that I have to make myself to things. Like I had to fight myself to come over here. I'm just as nervous." He looked at her, a small smile on his face.
"But I do have a secret. I don't focus on that fear. I choke it down and do it anyway. So my fear disappears between here," he leaned in a little, demonstrating. "And here." He leaned in farther, closing the gap again, but the kiss didn't last that long this time. "And right about here, I'm nervous again." He blushed a dark shade of red.
