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.

Koga looked around the mansion, his first instinct was to take the situation in hand. All sorts of people were experiencing two odd affects at the mansion. They were having temporary amnesia, to the point of being a preteen and....they were preteens. After freaking out three preteen residents that called him 'lizard freak man' he decided he would call in some leveler heads. Shin and his Lady Kealey.
He started heading toward the New York city proper when he realized he hadn't gotten the address of Shin's new apartment, He Slide out his cell phone and called the number that he did think to get, their apartment. He dialed as he waited for the bus.
The bus pulled up and he showed the bus driver his city pass, and promptly climbed on top of the bus, he learned long ago that he didn't care for traveling inside of buses. one if you saw a crime on the outside you had to wait for the bus to pull over, two they smelled and three, he had already been called a freak once today, that would be enough for now.

Tetsuya followed, because really. Why wouldn't he? Then, they stopped.The dog looked up at them.
Help? Of course! It nudged the leash towards the girl's hand.
The Asian tilted his head. Oddly helpful dog, this was. Almost like it knew. ... But.
Ring ring. Ring ring.
There was no time for contemplating such thoughts now. The phone was ringing! Tetsuya moved to answer it out of habit, following the ringing sound. He picked it up and held it pinned between head and shoulder, answering in Japanese.

Just as they were getting ready to leave, and the doggy was doing a really cute head nudge thing to Kealey’s hand, the phone rang. For a moment, the blond moved to answer it, then stopped as Tetsuya made his way in that direction. He could answer the phone every bit as easily as she could.
Except…
Kealey realized it too late and opened her mouth to say ‘stop’ just as Tetsuya answered.
In Japanese.
Kealey face palmed in the entryway, and the doggy whined a bit, dropping his leash and laying down, all hopes for a walk temporarily crushed.
Koga smiled as he heard Shin answer with a traditional Japanese greeting and returned in like, sometimes he forgot how much he liked stretching his Japanese, he’d had plenty of practice recently as his grand father wouldn’t except the devils tongue…English.“Hello Shinbo, The school has gone crazy, everyone is turning into teens and forgetting everything they have known since then. I need you and Kealey’s help getting things settled down.” Koga spoke loudly and clearly as the bus made its way slowly forward. “Oh yeah, where is your new apartment?”
He was meeting them there because he needed to….not because he was fleeing the scene of weirdness in hopes that the couple would save him from having to deal with it.

Oh good. Whoever was on the other end of the call knew Japanese. He... supposed that had been rather silly, hadn't it? Answering in Japanese rather than giving the phone to the English-speaking blonde. But hey, what if they were in a predominantly Japanese-speaking country and she was actually the oddball, he? Now, if only he could figure out who this person talking to him like he knew him was...
Tetsuya tilted his head warily. Why did this person know his last name? And Kealey's? And what was this gibberish about forgetting and whatnot? He hadn't really caught all of what the guy had said. The other things had been far more distracting in his mind.
"What?" He said. "Do I know you? Why do you know my last name?"
Kealey wouldn't have been able to understand any of that sentence. Koga had just gotten an earful of Japanese.
*bleep* huh… it seemed he cursed by habit in English.
“Ssorry, Sshin are you a teen by any chance right now?” Please don’t be a teen, Please don’t be a teen, Please don’t be a teen. He was soooo a teen, he could hear the change in his voice now that he was listening for it, at first he thought it was the phone and the bus and crap.
Koga’s miond flitted about like a hummingbird and then settles as he realized he wasn’t escaping, but heading towards people that needed him more. “Firsst things firsst, Keep Kealey in doors, her power doessn’t take to crowdss too well. Ssecond, find out your addresss for me, third, I’m a good friend of yourss. Ryuichi Koga, You have been struck with the same weirdness as a lot of other people at xaviers. You are way younger than you were last night, find some pictures of you two around the apartment, you will find a grown Shin, with his fiancé Grown Kealey.” He let the bus take him further into the city. With no particular place to head, he couldn’t decide who was getting their faster and hop to another vehicle.

Tetsuya covered the mouthpiece on the phone and looked to Kealey apologetically. He made a loopy loopy gesture with his finger by his head. Then dropped his attention back to the phone.
"I do not follow. How do you know me and Kealey? Also, why are you calling me 'Shin' now? My name is Tetsuya... how does any of this make sense?"
Who was speaking logic here, because it certainly wasn't this 'Koga' person on the phone.

Man. There was a lot of rapid Japanese being thrown around over by that phone. Two heads stared in the direction of the conversation, each tilted slightly to the right as they tried to make sense of the words. The other language was cool, and kind of beautiful, but it didn’t make a lick of sense to either of the figures.
Kealey took a couple of steps forward, hoping that maybe the person Tetsuya was speaking to spoke English as well and could explain what was happening. The boy was making loopy gestures by his ear and a moment ago the blond was sure she’d heard her own name.
”Can I try?” she said, holding out her hand in a gesture that was unmistakably asking for the phone.
Koga could not have been more exasperated. “Ok…you and Kealey are mutantss. You were older than me lasst night. Now you are a preteen that can’t remember anything about how you got where you are, if you look for ssome picturess, then ssurely you will find ssomething that givess my sstory credence. You and Kealey are memberss of the x-men and people that I have nothing but resspect for. More important than all of that is Kealey’ss ssafety, her ability iss to feel what otherss feel and it can be overwhelming, for a Kealey that iss unprepared, I’d imagine it would be devasstating.” He then paused.” Oh and I call you Sshinbo because American’ss sseem to have trouble with our first namess, that’ss why I go by Koga instead of Ryuichi.”
He paused again to see if any of that had gotten through to the hoodlum. He smirked to himself. Once things got back to normal he wasn’t going to let Shin live this down.

Tetsuya ran a hand through his hair, stressed out. He had no idea what this guy was saying. It was a whole lot of nonseeeeeense.
He sighed.
He handed Kealey the phone. Maybe she'd have better luck.
What was the kid talking about? Mutants and X-men and things he hadn't heard about and people being teens and photographs and not remembering a thiiiiiing? If he ever met this guy, he was gonna kick his ass. It just wasn't okay to be this confusing all at once. He quite preferred his explanation, what with the cute girl and his simply not remembering stuff. Yup.
Tetsuya ran a hand over the dog's head and scratched as he passed by on the way to the counter. Maybe he'd go dig up a photograph, just out of morbid curiosity. Eh. Couldn't hurt. He still didn't understand a single thing this 'Koga' guy said, though, and thought he was stupid. So 'nyeh!'

Tetsuya handed Kealey the phone and she smiled gratefully at him, then watched for a moment as he walked away. Obviously this person knew something about what was happening because they’d had a whole conversation with Tetsuya in Japanese before he’d walked away.
”Hello?” Kealey said, voice just slightly wibbly. ”Please tell me that you speak English and that this isn’t some alternate universe where people actually speak Japanese all the time.”
If that was the case…this was going to be a really long day.
He listened to a frustrated agnsty Shin shy on the other end of the line. Kids these days. Those days? Hmm. “Hey Kealey. I sspeak Englissh and thiss issn’t an alternate universse where people sspeak Japanesse all the time… iss Sshin only sspeaking Japanesse?” He then continued. “ The reality though iss pretty sstrange though and will probably feel like an alternate dimension. If you can find a piece of mail and tell me the address of the building then I will come and help you guys and explain more. Sstay indoorss until I get there?”
Koga listened to see if the Kid Kealey would be more helpful then that kid Shinbo. So weird to be the older one, not that he wasn’t always responsible, but he was coming to them for help…oh well another day in this crazy new York.

The boy on the other end of the line spoke in English and Kealey felt the air rush out of her lungs in a relieved sigh. The strange thing was…she wasn’t really all that relieved. In fact, if she was being honest, she was downright baffled, skeptical, and more than a little bit grumpy.
Lifting a hand to her forehead and heaving a sigh at the mild headache that was starting up behind her eyes, the blond tried to listen to what was being said on the phone.
Grabbing the letter, she read the address off to the stranger on the phone, not even thinking about the fact that that might have been a terrible idea.
Oh yeah..the boy on the phone had asked her a question. Kealey took a deep breath.
”Yeah…he can’t understand what I’m saying…we figured some stuff out though. Is this the future?”
He was relieved to get the address out of her. and almost immediately leaped from the bust top to a Cab that was flying down the road toward the destination that was desired.
"From your perspective, it will feel like it. From what I gathered from the school, everyone affected got younger and can only remember things from the point of that age. Sso as crazy as it ssounds, you and Sshin are actually in your mid 20's and got transformed to your teenss. I ssent Sshin to look for some picturess of you too sso I don't just ssound abssolutely nutss."
He took a breath. " Do you know about mutantss? or the x-gene."

The different statements seemed to bounce out of the phone and rattle around inside Kealey's head, working together to compound the headache that had already began to form. They were in a strange place, in what seemed like a strange time, with mail for both of them addressed to the same place. Everything added up, but it was like in math class when you were sure you'd done everything right and were getting an impossible answer. It was a real mood killer.
They were in their 20's but they weren't. Tetsuya's name was apparently Shin, but it wasn't. So many things made sense in lieu of how the morning had started, but didn't really make sense at all.
This was a lot.
"I don't know about any of those things." Kealey said, exasperated and started to wonder if this guy was trying to pull her leg...but he knew so much about her.
