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.

*Kilala smiled widely at Ruben and put both her hands on his face, looking in his gorgeous eyes.* "I certainly hope so..." *With that, she kissed Ruben deeply and pulled him into the bed so he lay on top of her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kept kissing him, wishing the moment would never end. Everything in her life had been so negative and he was the FIRST positive. She wasn't much for fate or destiny as her sensei believed, but having this connection with Ruben in such a short time, under extreme circumstances, made her second guess her thoughts.*
Ruben let out a sigh of pleasure as the kiss intensified. He slowly took the pack off his back and tossed it without looking at the door hard enough to shut the door behind the two.
His right hand slipped in under Setsuna's neck, holding her into the kiss... while his left hand held her side slowly moving towards her hip where he gave her a gentle squeeze. Barely breaking away from the kiss for a moment between words, Ruben was able to speak only in fragments...
"You know..."
"...I think I should warn you..."
"They say..."
"Relationships formed under..."
"Intense situations..."
"Rarely last..." he finally finished with a smile, as if DARING Setsuna to make this work... by this time, Ruben's heart raced and was doing laps around his mind...
*Kilala pushed him away by the chest and looked him in the eyes.* "You think this is intense? Dogding bullets, car chases, hand to hand combat, and sword fights? That's all in a day's work for a ninja, sweetie." *She pulled him closer again by his collar to continue kissing.*
Time didn't seem to exist as the two let loose upon each other, emotion guiding their movements.
Moving to lay next to Setsuna, Ruben looked at her quizically. "How'd we get here?" he asked, confused as their affections seemed to flare up over the past 24 hours. He had a large happy smile and realized he didn't care. "However it was... I'm happy we did... and wonder where we're going." he said pulling Setsuna close against himself and holding her comfortably against himself. His face rested against her head and he breathed her scent. He knew exactly what was chemically going on within his own body, but the science of things could never do justice to the feeling of falling like this...
"Setsuna... I have to be honest with you... I've... never really had a relationship before." he said, half biting his lower lip for her reaction. "I'd like to take it slow..." he added moving to look her in the eyes.
Grinning playfully and looking innocent, he pleaded "Be gentle?" followd by a small laugh.
*Kilala smiled and kissed his forehead.* "I'm a slow girl myself. Moving fast usually ends in disaster anyway. With my line of work...I, uh...haven't had much of a relationship life either. Maybe like two, EVER." *She slid down and rested her head on his shoulder, wrapping her arm around his chest.* "Oh and by the way... My real name is Kilala."
Ruben lay there loving the feeling of having Setsuna so close, and then suddenly she revealed her REAL name. His eyes openned and his eyebrows raised... and stayed so for quite some time as his mind registered the little newsflash.
"Oh... I'm still just Ruben..." he added. "Guess I shouldn't have snuck off this morning and gotten that 'Setsuna' Tattoo then huh?" he added obviously joking.
As he lay there, he realized there was so much he didn't know about this woman. Slow and easy would definitely be the way... even though her entoxicating scent made him want it all now...
"Kilala..." he said aloud, but to himself just to let it roll off his tongue. Ruben just wanted to spend the entire day in bed... but knew he should get things going and meet the DocProf.
"I should get myself acquainted with my new infirmary." he sighed, hating the idea of moving away from Setsuna. "Least we're already moved in!" he added with a small laugh.
*Setsuna lifted her head from his shoulder to look to his face.* "I should go shopping then. Pick up some stuff for us..." *She reached behind her and pulled her wallet from the back pocket of her jeans. Setsuna then sat up, sitting Indian style on the bed.* "I'd rather you didn't call me Kilala though. My friends, or more like the few people who know me, call me Suna." *It was a great deal for her to reveal her name to someone. She trusted him though...surprisingly after only a few days. Setsuna couldn't help it. There's was just something about him..."
Standing up near the bed, Ruben smiled at Setsuna. He watched her smilig, as he rolled up the sleeves of his white dress shirt. Moving closer, he leant down to hold her face. "Suna." He loved it.
"Kissing her lips softly, slowly, as Romeo might Juliet.
*Kilala put her head on his chest and wrapped her arms under his, placing them on his upper back.* "Moments like this should last forever... BUT..." *She pulled away and stood on her tippy toes to kiss him on the nose.* "I must be off to go buy some toilettetries, clothes, and such. Tell me how the meeting with the DocProf goes?"
"Of course." Ruben smiled. "Have fun shopping.. I promise I'll pay you back for everything as soon as I can... it's only right." Ruben said sounding very serious about his stand on debt.
"Oh.. I was... also thinking of telling Tricity a few details... I mean... if we're staying in her home, I think she has a right to know some things, you know? I was thinking of writing her a letter to explain everything, so she could look at it when she has time... she seems like an extremely busy woman..." Ruben said hoping Setsuna would be alright with his explaining to Tricity how they came to be where they are now.
*Kilala nodded in agreement with Ruben about paying her back, though she had no intention of accepting any money from him. She walked over and grabbed her short, leather jacket preparing to leave, but he caught her attention when he spoke about Tricity.* "NO! No, you can't tell her about what happened. No one can know about the dojo!" *She pushed the bedroom door shut, leaning her back against it for a moment before speaking again.* "No one. I can't bring more people into this...Especially the whole, me being a ninja, part. Ok?"
Ruben sighed, conflicted. "Look, Suna." He moved closer to lean on the door near her. "I'm going to tell Tricity what happened with the shelter... about MY past... what you tell her is up to you. It's your business. I just think she's got a right to know who she's housing is all..." Ruben said frankly.
"I won't tell her anything about you... I promise. But I also won't lie." he said honestly. "I think these are good people. I get a good feeling here..." he added. "Maybe in time you'll trust them more... but til then, you've got me." he finished with a reassuring smile.
*Setsuna crossed her arms over her chest and bit her bottom lip in throught.* "People don't react well to what...I used to do. And I don't really feel like bringing that here. I'd like to start over and such. With a clean slate. People judge and are afraid of what they don't understand. I have to be cautious of that or than they fear me." *She realized she was rambling and shook her head smiling.* "Sorry... Anyway, go have fun playing doctor." *Setsuna said, winking as she opened the door again.*
Exiting into the hall, Ruben gave Setsuna a small wave by before turning around, only to turn and face her again with a playful smile. "Maybe later WE can play doctor" he joked with a grin.
"BE GOOD." He said as if she needed to be told. Ruben watched her disappear and took deep breaths to slow his heart. "Wow..." he said to himself as he turned to head off towards the infirmary and make himself be known in this place...
*Kilala parked Tricity's car back into the school's garage and came through the door leading inside of the mansion. She piled all the bags onto her arms as she dipped and dodged all the children running through the hallways. She needed to drop these things off quickly and find Ruben and Tricity as fast as possible. She quickly jogged up the stairs to the second floor to their room. Kilala pushed the door open with her foot, as it was ajar.* "Ruben? Ruben, you here?"
