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.

Kealey grinned and snuggled closer into the hug when Shin wrapped his arms around her. This was one of her favorite things to do, and when he leaned his forehead against hers she grinned. All the happy, warm, fuzzy emotions felt like the best blanket in the world, and it was almost sad to consider it ending.
Shin asked what she had in mind to do for his birthday and it was incredibly tempting to tell him she simply wanted to stay how they were for the next several hours. That wouldn’t have been a proper birthday celebration though! The blond thought for a moment, prolonging the hug just a little bit longer while she figured things out.
”Hmmm. Let’s go out and do something!” she said finally, ”Something silly and fun. “ She loved staying in…but again, this was an important day.
”So.” she added, reluctantly breaking the hug and stepping back, ”Go get ready and meet me at my room in…..” the blond trailed, trying to figure out the timing, ”Half an hour?” It would be tight…but she figured she could work something out in that much time.

Something silly and fun. Yeah. Shin could get behind that idea. He could get behind anything Kealey suggested.
"Okay," He agreed. "Something silly and fun of your choosing."
This would be fun. It had potential. Unfortunately, thinking of something fun took time, and as Kealey broke the hug, Shin was slightly disappointed he wouldn't be hugging her just a minute longer.
Half an hour? That was sure a long time to wait. He nodded, stifling any disappointment from lack of hugs and replacing it with anticipation, curiosity and excitement. "Half an hour, then. See you."
As he slipped past her, Shin snuck one final side hug, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her against his chest. He planted a playful kiss on her forehead, then let go. "Bye," He said again. He left this time. Out the door.

Only a half hour…Kealey missed any disappointment that Shin was feeling in the fact that she only had 30 minutes to get ready AND figure out what they were going to do. It was still early in the day, so there were lots of options…but what was something they could do that was special…that was them? This was Shin’s birthday, she didn’t want to go out and do something that was just “okay” or “kind of neat.” The problem was, she hadn’t had very much time to think things over.
A shower and clothes were the first order of business and Kealey finished both in what had to have been record time. Ideas were already rolling around in the blonde’s head, and she hoped that at least one of them would work out. Hadn’t she seen that there was a video game exhibit at the City Museum? She wondered as she passed up the hair dryer in favor of loose curls and just a tiny bit of gel.
She didn’t dress fancy, because fancy wasn’t exactly what she was going for, but heck…Kealey didn’t know what she was going for or why it was suddenly so important that they do something special for Shin’s birthday. It was though…and Kealey wanted to make this special. So on went the makeup on went the shoes…hadn’t there been something about a comic book convention on the news last week? Thank goodness they were in New York…surely there was something that would be good for Shin’s birthday. Kealey checked the clock, two minutes to spare. She grinned and carefully seated herself on the edge of her bed to wait for the knock on her door.

The door opened a crack and Kealey grinned as Shin’s head appeared, and she laughed when he called her ‘Ms Librarian’. She stood up and twirled a slow circle. ”I did, but I hope I don’t look like a librarian right now.” she said, prancing forward and pulling Shin more fully into the room.
”As much as I like that look…I was going more for something a little different tonight.” she hadn’t had time for really special, but she’d definitely wanted to look nice for the occasion. If they were going to start celebrating birthdays, they were going to start celebrating them right.
Shin got another hug, and a kiss this time as well, and Kealey grinned. ”I’ve got a few different ideas for what we can do. It was the best I could do on short notice.”
She stopped and thought about that for a moment, and tilted her head. ”Unless there’s something in particular you’d like to do.”

>>”I did, but I hope I don’t look like a librarian right now.”
Shin grinned, following her into the room. "You look pretty, as usual." He said. Although a librarian look would not be bad for her. With some glasses, and maybe her hair tied back into a ponytail or put up in a bun? Yeah. Pretty much everything looked good for Kealey.
Another hug, another kiss later, she started sharing her ideas... or at least, sharing the fact that she could possibly share several ideas. She was slightly worried, it seemed, that they might not be good enough. She checked to see if he didn't have any ideas in mind himself.
"I want to hear your ideas," Shin replied understandingly. "I'm sure they're all great."

Kealey grinned when Shin told her she looked pretty…he pretty much always told the truth, but compliments were definitely not lost on her. It was another advantage of being an empath, the feelings behind compliments were evident. It put her in an even better mood than she’d already been in.
Shin wanted her ideas, and Kealey nodded her head, ”Well…I figured we could grab some food at some point…but then there were a couple of things in the city that I thought might be a good idea.”
She paused for a second, considering whether it would be a good idea to tell Shin or to simply wait and see. ”Well, I think there’s a video game exhibit at the city museum.” she explained. ”There are also a couple of comic shops I read about online that I thought you might like to check out….or there’s those arcades down on the pier?” They were ideas, and Kealey didn’t know if he’d actually like any of them…but darn it she was trying! Shin was going to have the best birthday possible!

"Food is good," Shin decided. "Those are a lot of choices to choose from, though. I'll tell you what." He held up one finger to boldly make a point. "You pick your favorite and I will go with that one. And if you want to do them all... well then... we can see how much we can cram into one day. Fair?" He asked.
Shin thought it was fair. There were just so many ideas. Even if they weren't great, they were Kealey ideas. Therefore, they were dear to him.
He wanted Kealey to be happy, whatever choice they picked. She was dear to him too.

Kealey grinned when Shin spoke. She was so excited at the prospect of doing something special for his birthday! So excited, in fact, that she completely missed the reasoning behind Shin’s excitement. Had she known he was going through all of this simply to please her, Kealey would have put a stop to it immediately and found out what he really wanted to do.
As it was, she pondered the options. Which of those things could they do that would be fun and reasonable? All of them probably weren’t….”Maybe we should check out the City Museum. Then we can go grab food at the pier and check out all the silly little shops down there.”
Kealey grinned. ”And after. We’ll just have to see where the night takes us.”

"Sounds good," Shin agreed. He stuck his hands in his jacket pockets. "If we're going, you should grab your coat. I guess I'll be driving?"
A motorcycle ride for two. It wouldn't be bad at all. Did he know where the city museum was? Hm... he didn't know a thing about it, or the parking. Would it cost them money? Stuff like that usually did. Did he have the money? Suddenly, Shin had a whole lot of questions to quash. He smiled at Kealey.
"You ready?" She was so excited. It made him happy.

Kealey was all sorts of ready, she had plenty of money for the occasion, they hadn’t done much since returning from Japan and her funds were expanding now that she was working. Tonight was going to be on her. Shin was a perfect gentleman, heck he might even argue, but Kealey was going to put her foot down.
He suggested that she get her coat, and Kealey grinned on her way to her closet. Normally she would have grabbed her uniform coat, but it would have looked silly with the outfit she had on, so she grabbed the next best thing. The pea coat was tan in color and it buttoned in double-brested fashion, its large buttons and high collar ensuring that the coat would stay closed and warm on the motorcycle ride. Kealey also grabbed her lavender hat for after the motorcycle ride.
”Ready ready. We’re going to Fifth Avenue and a hundred-and-third street.”

>>”Ready ready. We’re going to Fifth Avenue and a hundred-and-third street.”
"I like your coat, miss Librarian." Shin walked himself over to the blond and offered her his arm. Together, the two of them walked out the door. Or they would have, but Shin suddenly realized something. Oh damn. Two people couldn't walk side by side out a door. "Uh..." He withdrew his arm and scratched the back of his head, embarrassed. "That made more sense in my head... maybe I'm a bit tired..." After all that training, he had every right to be.
"Ahem." Shin stepped forward with a small self-conscious laugh. "Guess I'll just lead."

Kealey grinned and shook her head, filing away that whole ‘librarian’ thing. Shin seemed to be a little stuck on it. Maybe she’d add it to the list they’d started compiling while they were in Japan. It was an interesting concept…since she actually was a librarian. It was something to keep in mind though, and a situation where just maybe stereotypes could be fun. It was better than being called a predatory jungle cat at any rate.
”I’m glad you like it.” she said with a smile, ”I’ve been saving it for a special occasion, and I think this fits the bill nicely.”
Shin offered his arm, and Kealey took it, realizing about the same time that Shin did that they weren’t going to make it through the door at the same time. His self admonition was sweet, and Kealey frowned for a moment at the thought that he was so tired…a moment later he’d recovered though, and they made their way out the door one at a time.
Once they were in the hall, Kealey took Shin’s arm again, almost uncontainable excitement building up inside of her at the prospect of doing something just for Shin. All too often the blond worried that things were focused on her…well not tonight. Tonight was all about Shin, and it was going to be fantastic!

The ride to Fifth and Hundred-and-Third didn't take too long. Kealey's excitement showed through every inch of the way. It was a wonder his ribs had survived the happy hugging.
Motorcycle parked, helmets stowed, the two of them made their way to the first destination. It was a short walk from their parking spots to the city museum.
"What did you say the exhibit was again?" Shin asked her, looking at Kealey cheerfully as they walked.

Kealey loved riding on the motorcycle, or maybe she loved riding the motorcycle with Shin. Her arms were tight around him and the wind whipped at her coat and clothes as they made their way through the city. She may have squeezed a little tighter from time to time, and it was a little chilly…but the ride was great, and they were going to have a great time.
Shin parked the bike, and Kealey stowed her helmet, trading it for the hat she’d grabbed in her room at the mansion. As they walked, Kealey reached over and grabbed Shin’s hand, pleased with his cheerful mood as they made their way towards the City Museum. ”I think it’s supposed to be something about video games.” she commented, ”I thought it looked kind of neat…besides, I’ve never been here, have you?”
